On our arrival he was the admired of the ‘adies, but. unfortunately they discovered he was a married man- His fall had a sickening thud. Gentleman Cadet Lieut. G. B. Hughes, R M.C., is keeping up his reputation as a true soldier. He is as usual justly popular with the boys. Council met at Burnt River on the 24th of J «me. All the members present; the reeve in the chair. The mhutss of last meeting were read and confi med, The ladies unanimously vote Capt. Neil the handsomest officer in the 45th, with Capt, Henlev a close second. Lieut. Campbell was ru‘e’l out because his face was so sonen with the sun. To-morrow (Wednesday) all the brigades march to attack Queenston Heights, 9. (fis- tance of six miles. This will be the event of the camp.

Major Sylvester was thrown from his horse on Monday, but owing to his natural agility escaped injury as a. true soldier always should. -â€"' uv-buvauvvu ul. ‘8,UWQ Col. Vidal gives the 45th the credit Of having the cleanest lines of any regiment in camp, including four brigades. This is very creditable to Quartermaster Hopkins and his very efl‘icent assistant Supt. Sergt- McLean. It is a pleasure to observe the moral status of the Victoria. regiment. We‘have to see a man within the lines anything but what he should be, in consequence of which the officers are justly proud. Our worthy chaplain, Rev. J. W. Viac- millan, was honored by being chosen to preach to the entire; body of tr00ps here, numbering in the neighborhood of 4,000. Col. Sam. Hughes is undoubtedly the hardest working commanding officer in the entire camp. He never fails to cor- rect a. fault or to do a kindness to his officers and men and justly popular as he ever was, and will be. His thoroughness is showing its effect and the, regiment is swinging to the front. ‘_â€"' -uâ€"uv V“ the steamer Chippev5a. was especially en- joyed by the men. Lieut. Alex. McKenzie of the 48th High- landers is attached to No.- 6 company and his handsome presence is an acquisition to Capt. Staple’s very efficient company. Col. Vidar and Brigader Major Jarvis have chosen the 45th mess and consider it strictly up to date. Another repetition of honors conferred upon Victoria's old regi~ ment. The following racy notes from our spec- ial correspondent at Niagara were received too late for last issue: NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, June 28th. Our trip here was everything that could be desired. The trip across the lake on ball honors descended upon the THE 45th BATTALION \V.E.S. -â€"On Tuesday morning, as Mr. Mer~ shall Davey, township of Ryde. was hitching his team to drive to Breoebridge, he saw a. large bear walkout of the bush. It only took a few moments to go into the house for his Winchester rifle. The â€"The Midland Argus says : An effort is being made, we learn, to have eastern shippers send a portion of their western freight by the Georgian Bay water route from this port. It is thought very low rates can be secured from the great freighters, which afoer discharging their grain cargoes go back light. This would involve the emotion of large freight sheds and the employment of a considerable number of hands during the summer 5888011 . hear was quickly dropped. Mr. Davey then went to the bent: to draw it home, but it: was too heavy. He then started to go away, and looking back he saw another bear walk out of the bush. This A motion was passed that the two offices of the clerk and treasurer be amalgamated and that the amalgamation take place on the lst of January next. It was antici. lpated that there would be much antagon' ‘ism and personal hostility between Mr. Delamere, the county clerk, and Mr. Mooney. This anticipation was not rea' lized. Mutual friends intervened, the two gentlemen met, and it was agreed that by- genes should be by-pzones. As regards the abolition of the county, Dr. Curry, Mr. Mortimer and Mr. Hartle were in favor of continuing the county's existence, all the other members of the council were in favor of its abolition. Another motion was passed to the effect that the salaries of all county constables should cease after the first of July. This would save the county about $200 a year. On the opening of the session Mr. Tutt, reeve of Sheri bourne, a township a 10:. way north, was absent. The" Warden telegraphed Mr. Tutt, to Dorset, asking if he had started, and received a reply from Mr. Tutt, that he did not mean to come as he had some corn to hoe. â€"-Mrs. James Plath, aged 16 years, of Union Mills, Indiana. gave birth to a quartette of girls last week. Three of the quartette subsequently died, but the fourth bids fair to live. The attending physicians believe that the case is with- out precedent in medical history. Births have been recorded of quartettes. with a division of males and females. but no case has been recorded. they say, where the babes have been of one sex. â€"The storm of Friday night last was of a particularly destructive character at Waverley. Ont, partaking largely of the nature of a cyclone. Some forty or fifty trees were‘torn up by the roots, fences demolished and carded away. while immense pieces of ice fell, some of which were 2} inches square. Mr. W. Drinkle'q‘ barn was blown down. -â€"Sunday morning Leo Russell, aged 16, non of Charles A.

The taxes in the county are greatly in arrear, and it was moved by Dr. Giles, and carried, that the county adopt such measures that all arrears of taxes due shall be collected before December 3151:. 1899. Those in arrear will have to pay 119' Another motion was carried havinP: an important influence. It was to the effect that the Attorney Generalbe petitioned to pass an act at the next session of the Legislature abolishing the Provisional County of Haliburton, and authorizing each municipality to conduct its own at- fairs. This petition will, no doubt, result in the repeal of the act constituting: the Provisional County. Some ot the town- ships will be attached tmthe Muskoka district, and in others the powers now vested in the county council will be trans' ferred to the County Judge. Two auditors were appointed, none having been appoint- ed at the last session of the council, owing to the provincial auditor having had the din)? assigned to him, which the provincial auditor stated it was not within his dutY’ which duty he further stated was to inf spect, not to audit. He will be required1 The county council assembled on Tues- day of last week, and its proceed inas were more than usually interesting. On the Warden taking the chair, Mr. Mooney, reeve of Snowdon was absent. It appear- ed that his right to a seat in the council had been contested, the case came up be fore the County J udsze in Lindsay on Mon. dQY- Judgment was not rendered in time for Mr. Mooney to be present at the oven- ing of the council, but judgment having been delivered in his favor on Tuesday morning, that gentleman arrived by train Minden County Council. News of the Week LINDSAY, THURSDAY, JULY 6th. 2899. â€"At the trial at Fredericton. N.B.. of Junes Gover. who killed Wm. McLean, his wife’s betrayer, the jury on Friday evening. after an hour’s deliberation, teported that they had acquitted the acouaed on‘ the charge of murder, but ~lound him guilty of manslaughter. The prisoner’s counsel appealed for clemency, .Btating that Govet’a wife, who was filled with remorse, had mortgaged her home :to furnish funds for the defence, and hoped to win her husband’s pardon. Judge Van Wart, amid applause, 'm which the jurymen joined, sentenced Gover to ten days in gaol. The trial was one of the limit sensational that ever took place in New Brunswick. -â€"Mrs. James Jones who resldes near Meyersburg, Ont, was attacked by a ball last week. As she was getting over a fence the bull rushed at her, and she fell backwards carrying the top rail with her. The animal used both horns and feet. while she protected herself as well as she could by raising the rail above her. With his horns he grazed her neck under each ear, knocked her teeth out and tore rofi‘ nearly all her clothing. Finally the dog came up and chased the animal away. â€"Nothlng has been heard since July last from George M. Dflglish and Dave Hopkins of Ottawa, who left for the Yukon in October, 1897, with a party organized by the Northwest Mining and Developing Company, of Chicago, Ill. While considerable anxiety is felt by the relatives of the two men, who went by way of the McKenzie and Peel rivenc, they took two years’ provlslons, so that it is hoped they have not suffered harm. â€"â€"G-eorge Keogh, the fourteen-year~old son of Francis Keogh of_ Adjala, was seriously,' perhaps fatally,- wounded in Tottenhsm last week by a revolver bullet, asaresult of careless practice bv some person.
