This summer he erected a palatial"resi- dence for himself in Parkdale, where he is going to live after the elections, and where he would be living now only he hopes to mislead electors by his bogus claim of being a resident.

The Admission of `Correspondence Not Necessarily Implythat we Hold- the Oninionof the Writer. - - The following letters, addressed to the editor of Tm: NORTHERN Anvmcn. have been received for publication : 7 ~s Barrie-Waubaushene Hockey Match. DEAR SIR,-I have noticed a gleat deal of comment in dierent local papers as well as a paragraph in Toronto papers referring to the trouble between goal-keeper Churchill and Umpire Gray`. of Coldwater, during the matchrecently between Barrie and Waubau-V shene Hoclsey Clubs. _,Wauhaushene_ made a close shot on their goal,,but in the 0 inion of nearly all who were watching close y the puck passed outside the goal. Umpire Gray thought otherwise. however, where- upon Churchill and Gray entered into a rather warm disagreement. Whether Churchill called Gray a liar or not the writer does not know, but it is generally conceded that he did. However, Gray struck him on the face with his at, knock- ing him backwards; as he fell his hockey stick raised and accidentally struck Gray on the forehead, causing, it has since been reported, a fracture of the skull. There cer- tainly was nothing intentional on Churchill's part. he had no time to think of striking. The lad who ran in on the rink and jumped on Gray, caused no harm, and should have been punished for trespass if there is any such law. Two hockey lessons may be learned from the unfortunate affair. lst. Umpires should be placed in a wire en- closure to prevent outside interference with l them in their duties, and 2nd, all members of a hockey club, while on `the ice, should render silent obedience to both referee and umpire. _ .

Mr. Kelso gave a very interesting talk on the work of the society. and by means of photographs thrown on canvas from a magic lantern, gratuitously furnished for the occasion by Mr. Geo. Coles, the results of the care bestowed on mother- less and neglected children were vividly por- trayed. Mr. Kelso regretted that he had no photographs of local children to show the audience, whereupon the Chairman humor- ously remarked- Bad children are scarce here. and some one in the audience was heard to " heave a heavy sigh. The lec- turer spoke of the splendid work of the Children s Shelter in Toronto, where a guar- dian eye is kept upon the hundreds of chil- dren who there nd shelter.
