From the report now before it, it appears that Lake Simcoe, at the pres- sent time, is well stocked with black bass and that the fishing this season has been ex- ceptionally good, better in fact than at any time for the last twenty years. It is also claimed that if the lake gets fair protection it will continue to improve without being stocked with fry used articially. The waters of Kempenfeldt Bay are said not_ to be well suited for black bass. especially in the immediate viciuitv of Barrie, where they are much scarcer than in any other part of the lake, owing, it is thought, to the water being too deep and cold, except in the vicin- itynof Big Bay Point. . `I3 "gunman unnntn - lI"`L- L'._ L2I`I_ I-..

The death on Thursday, October 6th, of Mrs. Frank Bourcey, formerly Harriet Wheeler, was the ending of a uiet, active, honest and noble life. The eceased was born at Southampton. England, in 1820, the daughter of Capt. Wheeler, commander of a British trading vessel. Her girlhood davs were spent in London, where she learned millinery in one of the rst houses of that city. In-a few years she was engaged to take charge of a millinery business in St. John, N 3., but in crossing the Atlantic the unsung` dn ltt`\:n`\ also nn:InlI cnnn unuuanlynzl UIIIJI-I L` lJn, IJI-III Ill I-I-UBBII-I6 UIIU JLIIJBIJUIU ULIP vessel in which she sailed was wrecked. Miss Wheeler and others were picked up by a passing vessel and brought to New York. As all her goods had been lost shedid not go to St. John's, but came to Orillia to her brother. the late Benjamin Wheeler. Late in the fties she married Mr. Frank Bourcey, a member of a U. S. Engineering Corps.- While returning from Wyoming, previous to the outbreak of the civil war, he met with an accident which caused his death a short time afterwards in a Washington Hos- pital, having been married, only three or four years. Mrs. Bourcey applied fora pen- sion through her husband s death, but owing to the unsettled state of civil matters at that time did not succeed. A prominent trait of Mrs- Bourcey s character was sympathy, which at that time she extended to the op- pressed negro. This brought her into con- flict with some people in Washington, whose threats were too much for her timid nature. so she packed up and returned to Orillla, where she was in business for two or three years. She then removed to Barrie, where she carried on a millinery business for nearly forty years. In fact, it was only a year or two ago that she `ceased keeping a" room open for business, and even to the week of her death did little trimmings in the millinery line, which kind friends brought to her at her humble cottage on Bradford street. While in business here she was burned out three times, every time losing all she had ; a fourth disaster was the ood of a few years ago, she being then in busi- ness near the FIVO Points. These nancial losses reduced her earthly possessions and brought her many difculties. She was honest throughout and compromised with no creditor. During the last year or two of her life she failed rapidly, and a week pre- vious to her death was taken in by Miss Bowen, a neighbor, `who ministered to her in her last moments. The saying that Nothing too good can be said of Mrs Bourcey, seems to he amply borneout. in the unselsh, upright and Christian life which she lived. She was a consistent mem- ber of the Baptist church. The funeral to the Union Cemetery took place on Saturday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Sheldon conducting the services. Mr. Robert Wheeler, of Toronto, a nephew of the deceased, had charge of the funeral. x Last Friday afternoon promotion certi- cates were presented to the successful pupils in the West Ward school at the mid- summer examinations. The pupils were allowed the freedom of the beautiful lawn where the exercises were held. Several chairs had been placed on the lawn for the convenience of many visitors; three small tables on which were several beautiful bou- quets of cut owers added beauty to the scene. Principal Foster called the children to order and among other things said that he had decidedto call the day on which cer- ticates are given Presentation Day." The hearty applause from the boys and girls was akin to saying `.`Them s my sentiments,_too. Mr. C. A. t erkins,C-hairman of the Public School Board. was now voted to the chair. He made a few well chosen remarks, the most pleasing of which was that the manners of boys and `girls on the street have improved very perceptibly during the past year -or two. A. U. Batten then gave a brief talk to the successful pupils" in the first classes. Mr. Geor e Reedy presented certicates to. the Sr. I cla_ss. Mr. F. M. Montgomery before presenting certicates to the Jr. HI class gave a few well. chosen remarks on the necessity of pupils doing their bestwhile in school; he encouraged. them to take good care of their certicates, which in years to come they will treasure even more than now; "Mr. Perkins gave certificates to Sr. 111 class. and Inspector Morgan `to Jr. IVS V Mr. Morgan` gave a short but very tactical ad- dress\cn.di`erent lines of aches` gwork,-and closed by urgently oestlipgboys and girls to be true to-themes ves, to their country = and to God. ` As anencouragement;to'pupils to .ta.ke_xood cm. of`. theii-:-ntom..tioa-,;oardn.

In view of this the Canadian Order-of Chosen Friends of which Mrs. Crosby is a worthy and active member invited her as their guest to a pleasant gathering at Dr. Palling s residence on Monday night. The members of the Order had invited several of their friends to join them. therefore by the time the party was complete, Dr. and Mrs. Palling found that their spacious drawing room and parlor were well lled with a jolly and good natured company. The pleasure of those in attendance was much added to by the recitations by Miss Hunter a visitor at Mrs. H. Hamilton s; Messrs. L E. Lane and N. W. E. King sang two solos; Miss Cross furnished instrumental music. A song by little Gladys Palling was well worthy the hearty response it received. Shortly before ten o'clock Mr. C. G.

Dressed poultry was plentiful on the mar- ket on Saturday. As the Christmas season , approaches such produce will continue to in- crease in quantity on the Saturday market. The rst geese of the season were offered for sale, the most of them selling at 60c , though some brought onlv 550. Ducks sold at 500. to 60c. per pair, and chickens 300. to 400. per pair according to size. The unusually good pasture for this time of year has strengthened the supplv of butter, the re- ,sult being that prices in that commodity were comparatively easy. The best brought 15c. and 160. Eggs sold rapidly at 170. for awhile, but dropped to l6c. before eleven o?clock Several bags of large red onions were offered for sale. One farmer asked lc. a lb . which would be $1 50 a bag. This proved to be rather stiff a price, and in most cases dropped to $1.25. or 25c. for a single peck.
