It is no great encouragement for dwellers in those neglected arts of the town to do much in imnroving an beautifying theirplaces to find that they can get but little attention from the Board of AWorks. VVe know that these improvements cannot be accomplished in aday, but surely some more attention ought to be given, both in the matter of sidewalks and light to the more remote streets of the town than they receive. ,,, A A_A,_,, A Ten Year Old Boy Drowned and a Saw Min Burned at craigvale. A sad drowning accident occurred at noon on Saturday last at Sandy Cove, Innisfil, about four miles from Craigvale. Three lads named Greaves, son of Mr. \Vm. Greaves, Lattimer and Birm; got into a boat intending to go up the creek to spear suckers, and having no oars or paddles were piking the boat along with the spear. When rounding a short point at the mouth of the creek the boat got into deep water, and wlth a heavy gale blowing from shore, got beyond their control, young Greaves thinking they would drift out into the lake and all be drowned, jumped from the boat to swim to shore, he could not swim and sank when he jumped in and was drowned. Another boy on shore, who saw the accident, ran about half amile to Greaves saw mill and gave the alarm, when all hands rushed to the rescue, and at great risk, with the heavy gale that was blowing, secured the boat with the'remain- ing two boys about three miles from shore. On returning to the scene of the accident, a grappling hook was thrown where the boy Greaves was seen to sink. and in a few min- utes the body was found in a depth of four- teen feet. \Vhen the rescuing party returned to shore they discovered the mill, which they had left in their hurry but a short time before, to be on re, and owing to the high wind, it was soon destroyed together with a large quantity of lumber and logs. The mill belonged.to Thos. Greaves and was not in- sured. Both \Vm. and Thos. Greaves have : the sympathy of their friends in their at rlic- t tion and loss. l I15!-bllaianllu-A Qvgv --nvv--V-u The election of- a Second Deputy Reeve, to ll the place resigned by Mr. M cLea.n, took place last Thursday.

A little further on the hind vehicle, when the horses tore along for all they were worth, and running across the open space on the right of the street made their way into the yard back of the Victoria Hotel stables. In doing so they ran over the- tongue of _a democrat Waggon and broke it, and then the excited steeds were brought toa stand still. Both animals received slight cuts in their trial of speed. There was a. carriage standing on Dunlop St., containing a lady and the runawavs just shaved thls carriage as they passed along, which might have resulted very- seriously.

Mr. Wa.1ker-Inter- esting Ceremony -Good Music and Excellent Speaking. I Last Monday evening, the Rev. \V. )1. Vvalker, B.A., was regularly inducted into 'the.pastorate of the Barrie Baptist church. The following Rev. gentlemen were at the interesting ceremony :- Rev s. W. L. Lam- bert, Orillia ; W. Kelly, Collingwood ; J. H. Carey, Stayner; `V. Barnes, D. D. Mc- Leod, J. VV. Annie, J. M. Wilkinson, and Mr. Gerrie, of Barrie. The chair was occu- piedby J. Yilliers, Esq. Alter devotional exercises, music by ihe Gospel Choir of the Reformed Episcopal church, and the Gospel Band of the West End Methodist church, made the meeting exceedingly pleasureable. The Rose of England was admirably sang by Mrs. Cooper and Miss Bryant. Addresses by Rev. A Mr. Carey and other clergymen were deeply interesting and instructive. Rev. Mr. Lambert performed the introduc- tion ceremony. He said he had been in the Barrie District fteen years, and it was more than forty years since he was first in Barrie. He was sure that the Rev. Mr. \\'alker would receive the encouragement and pray- ers of the congregation. In the name of the Great Master and of the church he extended a Welcome to him, and hoped his pastorate would be a long and successful one in bring- ing sinners to Christ. Don 1.1..

Evmvrs rnoni um PENS or ADVANCE nm-on-runs. i.)1.BOT -.--v- --- -- It is to be regretted that Canadian art is not more fully represented at the Colonial I and Indian Exhibition in London. Although Canada is but a young country, and there- fore cannot make any great pretensions to excellence in art, like older countries, still she possesses some artists, whose works would do no discredit to themselves or the country to which they belong. We had the pleasure the other day of looking round the art gallery of Mr. Shaw on Dunlop street, and found there evidences of, considerable ability. Some pieces there would be quite worthy of a place at the Colonial and Indian exhibition. Landscape and portrait painting are well represented in this gallery, and some of the pieces in perspective and in the nice adjustment of light and shade, show a study of nature on the part of Mr. Shaw s students that cannot fail to lead to success. \Ve shall take an early occasion to refer more particu- larly to some of the pictures on exhibition in Mr. Shaw : rooms, and point out what we `conceive to be their excellencies and defects. Barrie has no cause to be ashamed of the work of those of her sons and daughters who are seeking distinction with pencil and brush. Basketvsbcial. ] There was a basket social at the West l End Methodist church on Tuesday night, which was a decided success. When we say success, we mean nancially, and in the way of innocent pleasure and rational enjoyment. The basement of the church was full, but unfortunately there was not enough of the lords of creation to supply the demand of the gentler sex, so that some of the lords had to attend to the wants of three or four ladies, and a considerable number of the dear girls had to look after their own comforts. After the baskets had been emptied, Rev. Mr. Wilkinson took the chair, and music, read- ings and speaking lled a most pleasant hour. The Rev. Mr. Garrie, Congregational minister, made an interesting speech. The choir and the Singing Band gave some ex- cellent music to the delight of the large audience; The `readings by Miss Reed were good. and displayed more than ordinary elocutionary powers. The applause which she deservedly received was a just tribute to her admirable performance. The basket social of Tuesday night, will be long pleas- ulrl-eably remembered by those who were t ere. ; On Tuesday night the regular meeting of 1 the Barrie St. Patrick s Society was held at ` ORA Qnn:n4-n n unnvnn rpl-an nnn:n I-\n:n'nnnn Anna ULIC JJCIIIW k)Un 1 QULLUE D KIUUIVUJ VVCIU IJVLLL I-BU l the Society s rooms. The main business done was the perfecting of measures for the es- tablishment of a permanent relief fund-, so as to accomplish one of the chief aims of the society. It is intended-to have an excursion during the summer, the proceeds of which will be added to that fund, as also will the proceeds of the regular literary meetings of the Society. It is expected that by the time when money will be needed for relief next winter that a respectable sum will be at the Society's disposal for this most praiseworthy object.

PI`0Dl.`i6tOl`. e above er;- A choose , AOTTAWA, May 27.--llll-r.V Cook presented his version of the Mills-Cook scandal this "morning before the Public Accounts Com- mittee. It makes matters worse for Mr. Cook than eventhe official statements made by the official in charge of the Indian lands. It in no way exonerated Mr. Mills, who did. not even offer to make a statement of the reasons why he decided that Mr. Cook should have his bond for $1,800 given up without the money being paid over. RESUME on THE CHARGES. To refresh the memories of the readers of The Mail on this subject, I may state that Mr. Cook, by the sworn return of his agent, Mr. Sneath, so the depament, cut 2,424,- 973 feet of pine in 1872 and 3. That ac- cording to the same return this lumber, was sold by December, 1872; that upon this statement a settlement with the department was made, Mr. Cook paying part cash and giving his bond for $1,800 for the `balance ; that in July 1875, Mr. Cook applied to Mr. Laird, the Minister of the Interior, by letter, for a renewal of the bond on the ground that he was unable to pay it ;` that Mr. Cook in 1877 made a statement to the department that, though he was sworn to have cut 2,424,197 feet in 1873, he had only 1,495,856 feet when the logs were sold; that Mr. Plummer was ordered, in 1877, to make an investigation, and to report ; that Mr. Plum-. met felt that it was impossible for him to make an investigation as to the over returns of lumber out ve years before, and there- fore did not make any report until after the receipt of another order, in September, 1878, when he reported as follows :- The Evidence before the comm_1ttee- No Squufming can Alter The simple Hunt: - "1 have made as full, enquiry into the case as was possible under the circumstances, and I am quite satised that Mr. Cook sustained a loss by the transaction. I can further testify from personal knowledge that the pine lumber on these islands is of an inferior quality, and is, moreover, very much scat- tered over the islands, thereby rendering lumber operations diicult and expensive. As to the rebate, Mr. Cook will be fairly en- titled to such amount as he may be able to show to the satisfaction of the department the agent he employed shad over-returned. 7|"!-uni-'nnnn 61-in v-nnniniz A? thin 1-nnnv-1'. tho + two pumsrs OAUG'E'1`b I have to acknowledge receipt of our letter of 30th ult., reporting the res t of your investi ation into the matter of the losses alleg by Mr. H.

Mr. Telfer s declaration is to the effect that, as book-keeper to Mr. Cook, he be- lieved that Mr. Cook had lost money on the transaction. ' Mr. Cook to-day undertook `to explain that Sneath . was incompetent and dishonest ; that the return Sneath made and swore to ~ was an incorrect return ; that Sneath s statement that the ins was sold by December, 1873, was a c erical error on Sneath s art; that the logs were towed to Midland arbour, kept in a boom by them- selves and not sawn and sold until 1875 and 1876; that after they were sawn the lumber was piled by itself and re-measured as it was shipped. When askedwhy, if he suspected in 1873 that Sneath had made an inaccurate return of the number of logs cut, he did not have them re-measured during all the years the remained in the water in the boom at Mi land, Mr. Cook replied, They did not do that kind of thing in that district. When asked why he did not have the logs re-measured when they were being hauled up to the mill, he made the same answer. When asked whether he kept any record of the alleged measurements made when the `lum- ber was shipped, his answer was that he did not know, nor did he know of his own know- ledge whether allvthe lumber produced from the logs in that particular boom was mea- sured when shipped. a PREVIOUS crisis or REBATE. A case was adduced to show that the re- bates were made. The case mentioned was that of Power, but the oicial said in that instance the department received a sworn _._r__. .9 4.1.... m-mmunmment.` Mr. Cook 000K AND PHILUSUPHER MILLS. instance the aepamnenu ruuunw. . ....,... return of the re-measurement.` Mr. having stated that Telfer went once a month to the mill and paid the men and took `a re- turn of the quantities oftho lumbershipped -- --Inn "rnln 1093 in of the quantities or we ;uu;uu..u.,.,.w as aawn `from the logs in that particula boom, the oicial was asked if such monthly return had been sent to the department,~ showing the total product from the logs; The answer was there was not such a return, the statement referred to in Telfer e declara- tion aa being annexed being merely a state- ment of the pecuniary loss suatamed by Mr. I 11..-`. port, which merely said Mr. Cook had aus- etamed a loss on the transaction, chiey owinghto the fact that the pine was scattered and t erefore expensive, and contented him- self with writing on the margin of Mr. Plummer a letter : "Allow Mr. Uook the re- mieeiontc which Telfer e declaration shows he is . entitled.

He allowed the claim to lie in abeyance from February. 1877. to 30th September, 1878, and on the 8rd October, 1878. a week before the Admm- ietration resigned, he directs a letter to be written to r.

COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS. The Committee on Public Accounts met this morning to enquire into the remission by Mr. Mills, after the election of 1878, of a debt of $1,480. with interest at 6 per cent., owing by Mr. H. H.
