Fenelon Falls, Aug. lfith, 1-894. 'tlhe Echelon Falls hoist-to: Friday. August 24th,. 1894. Death of Hon. 0. F. Fraser. The Hon. Christopher Finlay Fraser, late Commissioner of Public Works. died} early last Friday morning in his chambers in the new Parliament build- ings,.T‘oronto. Not long ago Mr. Fraser was forced by failing health to retire from political life, and was appointed linspcctor of Registry Offices immediate- ly alter the late elections. On Thurs- day night he returned to Toronto from his first tour in that capacity, which had occupied about a fortnight and in which he had inspected three registry o'fii'ces in the Lake Superior district. He com- plained of feeling unwell and went to his chambers, and was found lying dead on the floor by the night-watchman when distributing the papers to the various ofiices about six o’clock the next morning. Mr. Fraser was born in- Broekville in October, 1839, his father being a Scotch Highlander until his mother Irish- by birth and parentage. He had very little schooling, and probably could never have answered the questions that .nowndnys must be answered before a youth is allowed to learn dentistry or the drug business; but, nevertheless, he became a finstâ€"class lawyer; in 1871 was elected to the Ontario Parliament; .in less than a year afterwards was given. the- portfolio of Pr0vincial Secretary and Registrar“. and in 1874 was up-r pointed Commissioner of Public'Works, which office he held until the end of‘ last session. Deceased was a man of excellent ability and unblemished charm aeter, and in both public and private life was esteemed by all who knew him. He leaves a widow and several children at Brockville, where his remains Were- followcd to the Catholic cemetery on Sunday last by a vast concourse of people. Another Malcontent. The number of journals dissatisfied with the present school system. is con- tinually increasing. and the latest ad- dition (as tar as we know) to the list of malcontents is the Whitby Chronicle, which, in its comments upon a commu- nication in its last issue, strongly con- demns the absurd and vicious course of study in our public schools, the aim of which ought to be to givo a good prac- tical education. useful in any sphere of lite, but the object of nearly all of which appears to be In prepare pupils for the high schools, whether they wish to go to them or not. The Chronicle's vigor- ous and sensible article concludes as follows:â€" " Public sentiment compels teachers to train pupils for teachers'eertificates rather than to educate them for citizen- ship, and the public applaud the show the more brilliant the tableau. There is a high .‘OIIOOI board not fifty miles from Whitby that finds its school has turned out this year two or three more unthrtunates than have its neighbors, and circulars are ordered to be printed proclaiming the lamentable fact to the world. with the sole object of inducing parents to hand over their offspring to be subjected to a. similar ordeal. No boast is made of the number of educated butchers, bakers, ahocmakers, tannere, its halls. All the glory comes from» grinding out third class teachers, may of whom tcach three years, get plucked for a second class, and then become book. agents. The bread and butter, so to speak, of teachers under such a system- dcpend upon their ability to train, not. to educate. Our farmers and artizans are not being too highly educated but are being educated in the wrong direc- tion. The Minister of Agriculture is surprised, and justly so. that more model: school masters who have so much to do with the professional training of teacheas do not attend his summer school in agricultural chemistry, and thus aid in diEusing a knowledgeof the very things our correspondent speaks of." Runaway Accident. Last Tuesday afternoon R. M. Mason. V. S., drove to Blythe to attend a horse owned by Mr. William Davey, and took with him his eldest child, a little boy about four years old, to whom, on the return journey, the doctor gave an apple and a bulrnsh that be had pulled in a swamp. Dropping the apple on the floor of the bugs: , the little fellow slid off' the seat. to get it, and, when he had picked it up, suddenly leaned over the dashboard and struck the horse with the bulrush. The highvspirited animal, which has never been touched with a whip during the seven years the doo‘tor has owned him, gave such a jump that one of the clips that hold the shafts to _the front whiffletrec was broken, arid. when the cross-bar tell against his hind legs, began to kick and run away. Hanging on to the lines with one hand, with the other Dr. Mason lifted the child over the back of the bugg . let him drop, and then gave all his atten- tion to the horse, which was going as fast as he could and kicking at every jump; but the bugg ', dragged along at a furious rate by one clip only, was soon upset and turned completely over, with the doctor beneath it. How long he was imprisoned and how- far he was dragged he does not know, but: he was at last liberated by a tremendous blow from the horse's ltoofs, which not Only forced the buggy from the shafts, but actually threw it back into its natural position. right side up, but with the front towards the direction from which it had come.. Dr. Mason, to the best of his belief, was not kicked; but there was an ugly' bruise near thefront of: his left leg between the knee and ankle, and a. wound of considerableexteut, but not much more than skin deep, on the out- side of his right thigh, which tnusthnve been struck or jammed with great force, as-it felt sore down to the bone and made him walk a little lame. The horse, which wascut and scratched in several places, though not badly injured, ran from where the buggy was- left. near Mr. John D. Nnylor’s, to the- premises formerly occupied by his owner on . Louisa street, and, the- gate not being open, tumbled over the picket fence into the yard, from which he was led by a couple of villagers and tied to-a post to. wait till called for. But. he didn't have to wait long, for tlne doctor, who had gota ride in a farmer's waggon, soon come up. unhitched him and took him home. He is not at all a vicious animal, and will follow his owner around like a dog, but is well bred and high tempered, and evidently has a great antipathy to bulrushés.. It is hardly necessary to say that the little boy was unhurt, and the buggy was not as badly damaged as might have been expected. ' The Salvation Army’ " Harvest Thanksgiving Festival.” we publish the following “ special money raising scheme " of the Salvation Army at the special request of Captain Huxtable, of‘the loculcorps :-â€"- L " In 1892 Commandant. H. H. Booth hit upon a new idea for raising funds, by inaugurating a plan for clearing poor corps and officers of debt. The plan was an annual “ Harvest Festival Scheme," to be held all over the Domin- ion and Newfoundland on certain dates. This year the dates are: For Canada. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Sept. lst, 2nd and 3rd. " The oi‘fiecrs of the various corps are instructed to visit friends and Collect from them anything they are able to contribute, whether it be in cash or otherwise. Gifts of produce. groceries, fruit. grain, cattle. poultry, or anything of any description which is saleable. After the collection of these various articles a. sale of the same is arranged and the proceeds placed into one com- mo: fund to help out the debts men- tioned. Commandant Booth hopes by this scheme, also. to replenish the store-- houses of his various institutions, such as Rescue Homes for fallen women, Men’s Shelters, Children's Institutions, Homes for Sick Officers, also his Social Farm, so that. it will be unnecessary to spend money on these articles during the fall and winter."
