The New Convent. ' Our reporter took a look through the new Convent the other day which is now nearly ready for occupation. By the politeness of Mr. J evons, Mr.-Fletcher's foreman, he was enabled to see every part of the building and obtain from him what information he asked. The building presents a very ne appearance. It is situated on the west side of Mulcaster street the - main front facing -St. Mary s Church. Entering the front door into a spacious hall the first room in the right is the parlor nely nished in mahogany. This contains a replace thiugh the room is heat- ed by steam from radiators covered by orna- mental screens with marble tops. The ceil- ing of this room has a line centrepiece. I` old iug doors open from this room` into the chapel which is also nished with mahogany On the left of the hall-a doorway leads to a corridor that skirts four music rooms. On the second at their isa large communion" room for the Sisters and to the front a sew _ ing room which looks out on to Mulcaster. street. There are some eight rooms on this gllat furnished with wardrobes and all con veniences. On this flat there is a very nice bathroom furnished with hot and cold water. The interior of all the rooms in this flat are finished in stone color tinted which gives 8. eyes. The woodwork in the halls and al the rooms with the exception of those tine appearance. The bulding is heated throughout with steam from radiators which diffuse through the rooms a warmth of the most comfortable sort. The attic is not nished, but when necessary can be convert ed_iuto a number of pleasant and commodi- ous rooms. At present it contains nothing but the tank from which Water is distributed to all the rooms below. the tank being lled bymeans of a forcevpump in the basement. The basement has kitchen, pantry,` store- room and furnaceroom. All the heating apparatusand plumbing was done by Mr. J. Plaxton and seems to be just what it ought to be. .All the woodwork is of the most substantial kind and finished in -the most workinanlike manner, the paintingzraining, plaster work, glazing and indeed the whole work reflects the greatest credition Mr, R Fletcher, the contractor. and the workmen he has employed. Our reporter was inform ed that the building notwithstating the superior, character of the material and work- manship has not exceeded in cost the con- tract price. ` pleasant mellow light very grateful to the` mentioned is in grained oak and has a solid -. A Turnover. Last Thursday evening two men were driving along Dunlop Street with a. horse laud buggv and going eastward. when nearly opposite M0rrow s auction rooms, by some means or other the buggy upset, the horse became detached from it and started at a lively `gait on his jownhook. A crowd` soon- gathered round the overturned" buggy and` upon rightinv it one of the men was quietly reposing andevidently waiting for develope- ments. Hehad received I `few scratches. but with that exceptionno injury was re- ceived. The horse was _soon captured and the men "proceeded on their way: Whether `too much Warner's Safeure had any thing to do with the'misha'p, four reporter could `not bositively aay.~ - ' CIUIXUU W IUUSC _ Mr. King, 60c.

The Bazaar in aid of the new convent was held in the town` hall during the last three days of the year, and was well attended especially during the afternoons and even- ings. There "was a large display of useful, fancy and ornamental articles tastefnllv ar- ranged on. theevarious tables and presenting _a most attractive appearance. The prizes for the grand drawing were placed on a separate cable, and drew remarks of admir- ation from many on account of their great value. The ladies who had charge of the tables weremost obliging and attentive to all visitors, who left the hall, after enjoying their smiles. with lighter hearts and purses. The interest taken in the bazaar by the people of all denominations speaks well for their generosity and good feeling towards the Sisters of St. Joseph, who` feel very grateful to their benefactors. A littleover one thousand dollars was realized and will be quite a help towards diminishing the debt on the convent The grand drawing of the valuable prizes took place on '_l'l1ursday evening, under the supervision of a com~ mittee, before the very large audience which was present, when the following names were read out as the winners of the prizes : ' -_ -...-s. up l'\l I iv , - .-- c-vv Wnnnouncement of Christ Church, Reformed Episcopal, Rev.

This is the patent right case about which so much has appeared in the newspapers during the last two weeks. There were three charges in all of which two were for false pretence against the prisoners. On one charge evidence was given at length for the Crown, taking up all day Tliursday, when the court adjourned until Monday last for argument of counsel. The argument took up nearly all day Monday, after which the judge found both prisoners guilty. The hearing on the second charge was postponed. As to the third charge for not printing across the note as required by the statute, on ac- count of the important legal objections raised by Mr. Pepler, the counsel for the prisoners, the judge reserved a crown case for the opinion of the judges in Toronto. Weunder- stand a civil action is likely to arise out of these notes V in which the evidence of the prisoners -(whose mouths were necessarily closed in this criminal proceeding) will be given. J. R.

We have never before had in one concert one of the rst soprano in Canada, the nest lady violinist in the Do- minion, a lady pianist who probably stands without a superior in Canada, a comic vocal- ist who is too funny for anything with- out being in the least vulgar, and in addition our best local talent. lt is safe to say that such` a concert has never yet been held in Barrie. It is to be hoped that every one will turn out and assist in making it a finan- cial success. The hall should be jammed to the doors. CHH(lI'CH.- Q`! .

I did not ask to be nominated, but had I obtained the position I would glarilv have devoted such time and ability as I have to promoting the work of education in the common schools of the town. It was industriously circulated that 1 was not legally qualified for the position, and no doubt this statement pre- vented some from voting for me who other- wise would have done so. This statement is merely'the- opinion of an interested party. If I was notlegally qualied I would not have allowed my name to be brought forward, and in regard to this matter of being quali- ed there seems to be a very general opinion that if my worthy and successfu_l opponent is legally qualied, it is the only way he is qualied for this important situation. Of this, however, I cannot speak If the bring- ing forward of "my name has led to a little ' more interest being taken in the election, and if it should tendto breaking up a little the stagnation that has existed about school matters in the `past, some good will have been accomplished - T...

There .was' scarcely a word said i about these elections till the Nomination day when the interest began to show itself by the number of nominations. For the Mayor- alty there was no contest, his Worship Mayor Sewrey being elected by acclamation. The chief interest in the election centered about the reeveships. ` The contest between Mr. W. B. Cross and Mr. G. H..Ross was the subject of general talk, speculating and some betting, while -the deputy reeveships I were scarcely less exciting. Good humor and pleasant joking characterized the day s operations, and the little pointers from the I ADVANCE went straight home, giving food for thought and prompting to right action. I One feature of this election was the number .` of lady voters who , went `to record their votes. Rain did not seem to damp their in- terest in the new duties which they have as- sumed. So far as We could see none of the `evils predicted as the result of women vot- ing have been brought about in _the places ' Where the womans ffranchise has been freely and largely, used. ` l`kn nnanll-o nli 4-kn r \r\l`r1'r\no nun J-inn $'..lnr.s \ REEVE. \\'ES'l`.
