The Review to Jan. 1. 1902 fur Mc. R. Momma, G. BINNIE, Pres. Sec. Kxox C'nrtruur, NortMAxBv.--Last Fl iday evening the Endeavorer's had a i very pleasant evening to celebrate the I natal day of our late Queen. Rev. Mr. F Farqultntsota, of Durham, contrttruted l, largely to the entertainment by an l appreciative address on our late most gracious Sovereign. Mr. Gilmour, I Hampden, and Miss Cornish, Orchard- i Ville. gave excellent recitation; while I the choir. as usual supplied, good music, L ltt.v. Mr. (‘ampln-ll the pastor' was also l on ltand,--of course. and a voluntary l collection amounted to over 811 which ( is to he applied to Improve the fencing. ALth'r A FATALITY. --I,ast, \Vednes- 1 day evening, curly-headed Russell La- , vello was playing at the Midge on ‘luunhtnn St. south sudo, where sumo {honrdq are off. immediately above a. 1 deep part, of the rivm'. He inadvertent, I ly slipped through and of course went, overhead in the water Histurmpaniorts 1raised the alarmnnd only the timely 'urrlvul of Mr. A. Wick, Ctte of the {factory men saved the boy's life. He ’wuded min the river and reached for him as he was going down the' third l time. This is the second escape from i drowning Russell has had. We saw the wot 3 days after and the boy-traps were I still open. The Board of Works should attend to such a. matter at once. Duct) IN BosTos.-We wore sorry to learn last week that Mr. Herbert Chad. wick had died in Boston about the be- ginning of May, Deceased was well known here as a young man of intelli- gence. of a quiet and unassuming disposition, and greatly given to bookish study and research. We sympathize with his relatives here over' his premat- ure removal. Tue, Woot, MArtKET.---Fartrwrs who have wool to dispose of will no doubt he looking with some anxiety at the mar- ket. It must be confessed the outlook is not H. rosy one. " report before us says: "pulled wools are slow and are likely to he quiet for some time. New clip has been sold in Toronto at 13c, and on a dull market dealers any they could not, pay more than that for last, year's wool." As regards the export. trade the report says "the situation is still un- promising." 19n the whole it would seem to he the partof wisdom to mar- ket at once as lower depths may still be reached.

AFTER Miran SUFFERINa.-.-Last sun-) day the town learned with sorrow that i at the midnight hour the spirit of Miss l Maud Whelan had left itsfrail tenement. i For a year or two she has not been ro-i bust and for the last three or fouri months has been confined to bed with a lingering disease. Hopes and fears) for her recovery alternated. but she has _ been cut off in the filst blush of woman-', hood, and when she gave promise of a; useful life. Maud was the youngest, child of Mr. and Mrs. T. Whelan, and! was a young lady of a sweet and win-) ning disposition, a favorite With all who knew her and will be sincerely mourned for even outside of her own family! circle. Deep sympathy is felt for Mini and Mrs Whelan in thus losing the' third member of their family. Two; brothers. John in Hepworth. and Alfred'; in Missouri and one s.ister', Mrs. Uvquh-' art.

VICTORIA DA r.---Last Friday the first “Victoria Day" was observed. Did you feel quite right? Wasn't there some odd lack about it? The tinge of gloom which surrounds the first occasion of the "Queen's Birthday" without the Queen, was emphasized by an almost all-day drizzle or downpour', the very reverse of what we used to call Queen's weather." So bleak was it that it seemed as if ever the elements for the occasion were weeping for the memory of the woman whose natal day had been so fondly kept. by millions. The gloom of this first occasion will not be felt again something like pride will take its place, and the day will go down the centuries commemorative of the best sovereign that ever sat on the British throne, while her womanliness will be as promi- nent as her queenliness. Yes. "She will live when we and all our time Are gathered to the dread and blind- ing past: A mighty dream for mighty--builded rhyme, The golden age of Britnin's splendid prime. Remembered when old glories long that last Are blown as shrivelled autumn wreaks upon the age's blast." Mr. T. A Currie, will conduct Divine service in the Methodist church.

Hon. J. M. Gibson. Attorney General. Hon. J. R. Latchford, Minister of Public Works and other speakers will be present. As may he noted in the report of the Town Council meeting in auother col- umn, the first lot of the cement brought in for the new walks failed to stand the required test. This will cause a little delay in the work. Two cars more of cement, were brought in yesterday. and will be available in a few days, as soon as they can be tested, if they stand the test. The failure of the first consign- ment to come up to the requirements is unfortunate foe the Hanover Company, from whom it was bought. as well as for the town. The Company’s explan- ation of the failure is accepted as cor- rect. but their reputation may be m- jured by it. -Palmerston Spectator. \TUTH‘E is herehy given that, the A. first Sitting of the Court of Ite, vision for the Township of Glenelm for the yen! 1901.
