The public - will haveobserved that the Canada Life and Con- federation Companies have been engaged in a controversy, in which each has sought` to prove its own superiority over the other. `We are not greatly interested in the verdict to be pronounced upon the rival claims, nor have we anything to say of the propriety of this system of attack and counter-attack. It is purely a, business matter, and the Companies- are acting according to the best judgment, of the managers. In common with all citizens of Hamilton we are, however, interee ted in thgood name. of the Company which has its he quarters here. When, therefore, the Confederation threw a doubt upon the stability of the Canada Life by asserting that the latter was obliged to ask ten ears grace of the Government to make the c ange from the 5 per cent. to `the.4.=per.cent. reserve, we watched with _some_unxie,. for the e lana- `tion. .It'ha' cbme.pronip 'y;"- a'nd`is f and satisfactor,v.'..".l`he 'diEa`renmL- an the 1..+....e .

But before our citizens call tue boys, who are now out on vacation, home and set them ci-' phering out how long it would take to save enough, at four centson each quart, to pay the baby s fare to Orillia, it is well to enquire what sort of a place "Or-illia is. The Northwest Lumbrrman gives an answer in an article which com- mences thus: "Orillia has three saw mills and an asylum for idiots. Hav- ing given an account of ' the position 0! the town, it speaks of the Indians of the neighborhood. ' The following is an extract: You will nd plenty of In- dians, but there is a disappointing sense of civilization about them inimical to ' 'one's preconceived notion of the typical red men.- _My experience among them . `b has revealed to me the existence of caste I have found in metaphor a Brahxnin, .

Mrs. Ann Eliza Dales, living near "Al- landale, is a dangerouswoman to run at large, according to the opinion of those who enjoy, an acquaintance with her. She was charged by Maria Holder, a neighbor, with calling her foul names, threateningeto burn-`down her house, kill her, and commit numberless other des- perate deeds. `She was served with a summons by Constable J ose'[)lr,'Jr., but treated the legal document Wllh con- tempt, tore it up, vowed she would not appear, `called the Barrie people robbers ,of her property as Queen ,of- Crown. Lands, and consigned them to an unman- - tionable region which it is popularly understood, modern tl'.ermometer's would `tail to register the warmth of. Consta- ble Bradford nally` arrested her and brought-her to gaol. Witnesses gave as their opinion that she was mm compos mantis, but her actions in court seemed, to indicate that she had only a very bad temper. ` His Won-ship, in default of {nding sureties to keep the peace, com mitted -_her to gaol. I IRREPRESSIBLE rouse JACK. John Somers, the lad referred to in last week's police court report. pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing cucum- bers from Hick s garden and was sen- tenced to 10 days in gaol. Another and more serious charge was preferred against him by Constable Frank Rogers, viz. , that of assaulting him in the discharge of his duty. The hey, it seems, when ar- rested by Rogers went with him quietly `for a distance, and then suddenly turned on` his captor, hit him savagely on the hand, kicked him, and got away, but was caught by a passer by. He pleaded not guilty to the charge of biting and was sent for trial to the next court of competent jurisdiction. ' . DRUNK LAND Dxsonnenmf.
