The Hospital Committee were largely moved in the action which they took in pur- chasing the property of Mr. Lloyd by repre- sentations made to them by individual mem- bers of the Council and of the Board, of Health, to the effect, that if the Committee would urchase that property and allow-it to be use from "time to time as might be requir- ed as an isolated hospital for cases of diph- theria and fever and other diseases of a. like nature, that such a building would be of use tothe community and that the Committee might in such case justly look to the coun- cil to enter into an equitable arrangement whereby a portion of the expense of secur- ing the building would be granted by the Council, and the Committee on their part would agree to its use for. the above men- tioned purpose on reasonable terms. 0 Tl`-nun n Joairn fn mnlzn n. heoinnimz in moueuvpurpuue uu nsuauuaum um um. 2. From a desire to make a beginning in securing a hospital for the Town, and also to aid in securing the building as above de- scribed, believing that in thus co-operating -with the Board of Health for the benet of the community, We would enlist the sym- pathy of the public more than we had suc- ceeded in doing, and relying on the grant formerly offered by` the Council, but on conditions then impossible for us to comply with, being now made, we secured the above mentioned property. 9 12.. .....In'.m this arnnf. nnw the Council menuoneu property. 3. By making this grant now the Council will, at 9. far less amount than they other- wise couid, secure a. suitable property for. obtain the use of such a. building as may at any time be required. 4. Only on condition of` such grant being iven would it be just to use the building or the purpose of an isolated hospital.

Their hope is that means will be found to. furnish a certain number of beds, for which, when _in use a certain charge will be made, but that in time suf- cient means may be found to maintain on a small scale such an establishment as will meet the requirements of sick persons. 1 A l'\.u- ovnnnl-nltinn nf. nrennnf. is to But N_..At Keneington 1`ll1.nois,Von th Edward Thompson youngest.- fixe late Christopher V hoxnpson, d 30 years.

A telegram was received here on Saturday morning stating that Mr. Edward Thompson, youngest son of Mrs. Christopher Thompson, had been killed near Kensington, on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railway, on Fri- Friday. From latter intelligenae it appears he was crossing the track and looking at a train passing when a freight train coming from an opposite direction struck him, crush- ing his ribs and otherwise injuring him. He ; lived about one hour and was perfectly conscious till his death. He informed those around him that he had a. brother living at Inglewood who was at once apprised of the accident. His last thoughts were of his mother in Barrie, exclaiming, what will my dear mother think ? _ Mr J. T.

Last Friday afternoon the connection be- tween the Collegiate Institute and Head Master Spotton was severed after a. service of twenty-three years. In another column will be found a description of what took place when Mr. Spotton took leave of his staff and his pupils. It is rare indeed to nd the Principal of our secondary educa- tional establishments remaining as long as Mr. Spotton has been in Barrie. Any ex ample of this sort is evidence of ability and tness of no mean order. Mr. Spotton s` specialty is science, and as a teacher and principal of a Collegiate Institute he stands in the Very front rank. He has never un- dertaken to boom the Barrie Institute, and so far as we can judge he is a mortal foe to educational tinsel and sham. His methods are such as to induce his pupils to think and investigate for themselves and to rely more on their own mental powers than on any extraneous aid Mr. bpotton possesses the faculty in a high degree of securing the condence and esteem of his pupils, and as a result he has their willing obedience, and the most perfect order without apparent eort, The Barrie Collegiate Institute was there- fore a model of earnest work and true discip- the prevailing tendency to centralization.
