The principal speaker was Mr John Carnegie Ex M.P.P., of Peterborough, who is verv full of the subject and an authoritypn Trent Canal matters.` He urged that the com `p etion of this great waterw_ay would revol- utionize transportation changes from all local points in" central Ontario,` a change that would he a great boon to farmers in that they would get hi-.7'h'er prices for their grain; By referring to reductions in rates caused by the Erie Canal, MI.

The termini of the canal are Gamehridge on Lake Simcoe. and Trenton, ne'er Belleville. The proposed terminus on Georgian Bay is Waubaushene. i At present there is'a stretch of seven miles - not constructed'between'hake Simcoe and! L.ke.

The regular meeting of the County of Simcoe Medical Association was held in the Council Uhamber last Friday afternoon. .Dr. McCullough, president. occupied the chair After the reading of the minutes of the previo_us meeting by Dr Evans. secre- tary. Dr. Peters, of Toronto, gave an inter- esting address on Surgical Treatment of Diseases of the Pleura. . The address was attended by a discussion in which Drs W. A. Ross, McCarthy, Morton and Williams took part. Then followed` a discussion on Tuberculosis ;. Dr. J J. Harper, of Alliston, introduced ' the subject. Dr. Williams, in continuing. put in a strong plea for hygienic treatment. Previous to sending patients away doctors shomd consider whether a patient can afford to go,-and also the eect the change would have on his temperament. He thinks `proper diet has as much to do with recovering from tuberculosis as air has; and therefore many patients who are sent away would-do just as well at home under hygienic treatment. The following oicers were elected :--President. Dr. Williams. Bracebridge ; `Vice-Presidents, Dr. ' McFaul, Stayner, Dr. Gilchrist, Orillia, Dr. H slop, Hixlsdale; Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. vans, Stroud. _ V Lot No. A 3. west side of Stretnl-.!O:97t`h*of ' . .R hCa 31-as s 51.: >A 1.: 3 1}KME"g.-scR5<';GI"!': 3: . atuT_it $..;.cpv1sPa`l _c{: Flfll, . * 1-1` Some time after monev was stolen from l Mr. M. Uoughlin, Anten Mills, the accused man Mitchell purchased a valuable watch from E. H Williams, jeweller, here, giving in payment another watch and 813 K cash. When Mitchell was taken to gaol his belongings were taken from him, as is, cus- tomary in such cases,7among the articles being a watch which is supposed to be the | one hegot from Mr Williams. The prison- er employed Mr. Hewson to defend him, and as security for pav agreed to give the lawyer the watch Mitchell thereupon wrote out an order to the gaoler to give the watch to `Mr. Bewson. The gaoler did so. At the conclusion of the trial on Tuesda` the Crown Attorney asked that the watch e given to Mr. Coughlin as part compensation for his iloss. . Mr. Hewson "objected, and claimed that the watch belonged to the prisoner, and that only such articles can `be forfeited as would assist the .i0>:~:`btMking gaol. `Hi! '.'H09r ` ` .
