The Indian entertainment at the Town Hall on Monday night was not what the peo- ple ` had been led to believe it would be. Barrie is a musical town and somewhat` fasti dious in its tastes. There is indeed muscal ability here of no mean order, and it alwavs expects something good for its money especially` from outsiders. We think those who brought Crow and his family here were- not well informed as to their musicahstatus. Some parts of the. show were amusing enough, but the effect upon the nerves was cnthe whole anything but pleasant. 'Wha.t with the freezin temperature of the hall, the encoring of t eboys, the pedal tattooing and Indian music, the average_listener.wonld feel that he was getting, to a pretty remote distance from the celestial. . - _ Trinity Church Choir.

Hamilton and N orth-Western "Railroad, says that last Fri- day morning about 2 p. ni. he was in the station and two men came to the door and tried to open it. He asked what they want- ed, and told them that if they did not go awav hewould attend to them, or words to that effect. They tried to force the door open, hutvfailing in this red through the window. We `noticed a clear cut bullet hole in a ane of glass inthe window Taylor says e was red at in the yard as "short time ago, but says he has not the least idea who is doing the shooting not why. He" says he is a stranger and has not been in his present position of watchman but ashort time. There appears" to us to be some mystery about this that requires investigation.

EIWEUII. Mr. Cook's attention having been drawn to what he evidently deemed correctly a suitable tract of pine land and also where a site for the erection of a saw-mill would be suitable for the carrying on of the lumber business on auextensive scale. Mr. Cook accordingly had erected a large mill. tted with all the latest_ improvements, which could be had at `that time, in connection with which he built a number of dwelling houses, the occupation` of these houses tending con- siderably to add to the population. Mr.. Cook, by the way, deserves great credit in having been instrumental in assisting to make Orr Lake what it now is, but itmust not be understood that Mr Cook was the pioneer in the lumber trade of that district, although the letter in the Urillia Packet of February 19th, would cause peopleitoascribe all the credit` to Mr. Cook as being the founder of Urr Lake.

Captain Orr, then after mature consideration of the obstacle in lumber having to be drawn by teams as fari the way, in the shape of expense, proponnded and had carried into eect a scheme more protable in reaching a market, namely that of constructing a railway from lllmvale station, on the North Simcoe railway, to Orr Lake, the construction of this railway was c m- menced in the fall of 1879 and completed in 1880. . .o -..-.a So far back as the year 1872, Captain W. F. Orr, who for many years was well known as a general merchant and lumberman in the County of Wentworth as also Coroner of said county` and City of Hamilton, with the view of carrying on business in the lumber trade, in a n are north` westerlv direction, at what is now known as Orr Lake, purchised about 3000 acres of Virgin Pine Timber Land, and in the following year of" 1873, had erected on the north bank otithe lake, a steam saw mill, which was the first mill in operation at this place.

Those who wanted anything like that should wink with each eve in succession and then with both, then they would be known to be all right. Just then the pro- prietor entered and knowing nothing of what had taken place stepped behind the counter - when the old woman began winking at him. rst with one eye and then with the other and then grimacing in sucha queer wav that astonished the gentlemanly grocer. What do you want mam '2 asked the grocer. The` old woman getting, up closer to him winking and grimacing as though she had tic dol or something else, said I want something." Well, what do you want? repeated the dealer in sugar and candy. Ah! you know, I just want a bottle of whnsky. You can trust yer life to me,I ll nevi r squeal.

Mr. McLean complained that he and those who thought with him were made to appear as opposing the construction of the canal, but that was not true. They simply differed as to the method of bringing the matter be-' fore the government.
