Since the operation was performed 0n l’resnlcnt Garfield a few days ago there has been a gradual and almost Imhopcd for improvement in his condition, and Dr. Hamilton. one of his physicians, is reputed to have said emphatically that there is now no reasonable doubt. of his rt'CthOl'y. An attempt. has been made to locate the bull in the President's body by means of an instrument invented for the purpose; but experiments with it have proved that. unless the shape and pn>ition ol the bullet are known. the in- strument Cannot be depended upon to tell the distance below the surface at which it lies. and Consequently is not of much practical use.

Where he is to obtain the l bail is not, stated. If he has no wealthy relatives to furnish it. and we have read IIl'IIIInc. he must depend upon politiCul :vmpathy, which few will be hardy . enough to nvow; besides which, it, may be taken for granted that, if he be ballâ€" 1 ed out by a party instead of by private individuals, he will quickly be smuggled beyond the rcachot justice, and 85,000 in the public treasury would be looked upon as poor compensation for being Ile- privcd ol the satisfaction of punishing the wrctch as he deserves.

His son was until lately Principal of the Cunn- diatI Literary Institute at Woodstock. and l’ ofcssor elect of New Testa- ment Interpretation in the new Baptist Theological College in Toronto, in which city he wottld have continued his ministerial labours had his life been spared. He had been in failing health for some time past, and. in the hope of rchIiviIIg bcuclit from a change ol air and rest from his mental labours, went a. few days ago to Bobcuygeon. At lirst he. appeared to improve, to the great reliel of his many anxious friends; but on Monday dinrrhma suddenly set in, and proved fatal notwithstanding the vigorous I'lforts made to check it by his medich attendants. lie was only 42 years of age, though he looked much older in consequence of his intense mental labours and the premature whiteness of his hair. He was married young and leaves a wife and three chil- dren. the eldest about. 10 years of age and the youngest about 12. For an ac- count of his ministerial career we are indebted to the Globe of the 4th inst", which says: " l’IiIIcile Torrance was one of a class of men not uncommon in some of -our Canadian churches, whose educa- tion is chiefly acquired comparatively late in life. His first cl'lmeotiut) with the Baptist Collegn in Woodstock Was an a student about fifteen or sixteen vears ago. He was already married he entered there on his preparation for the University.

As it will be edited by the Well known Dr. W. F. Clarke and will be only one dollar a year, we may safely predict for it a large circulation, especi- ally in this Province. A SLIGHT )lISHAP.â€"As Mr. Jac- qnet’s Waggon, laden with lumber, was going along the main street, last Thurs day, one of the nuts came off the hind axle. the wheel followed the nut, down went the axle into the earth. and the horses were securely anchored. which they didn’t appear to objI-ct to in the least. Of course the lumber had to be taken off the wacgon before the wheel could be replaced, and put. on again af- terwards. If any person (except a printer) sets the reeve's proclamation at defiance and works on a public holiday he must expect something to happen to hint. CAMPING Ourâ€"Mr. J. C. O‘Brien and family, of Rochester. N. Y., accom- panied by a party of relatives and friends from Lindsay. passed throngh Fcoelon Falls this week en route for Big Mud Turtle Lake, where they intend to camp out for two or three weeks. At this favoured spot, they tell us. there are Ito mosquitoes; at least there were none when they camped there before; and if the absence of the bloodthirsty little posts is a permanent peculiarity of the place we shall make it it point to spend our holiday there, if it, should ever be our good luck to be ublc to take one. THE PRESS EXCUltStt)N.â€"Fenelon Falls was disappointed last. Wednesday. when the Press Excursion, instead of paying it the expected visit. gave it the go-by and wont direct from iBobc-ay- goon to Lindsay. Editors, though mod- est. and unassuming iud’idually. think a good deal of themselves collccti'vclv. and perhaps full. huficd because this slow going village madc- uo preparations~ to give thcm a reception. Elsewhere all sorts ol things were done. to cover them with glory and distinction; in Petcrborough they were driven about in carriages and taken on u IIIooulight excursion, and even litllc Bobcaygeou gave them something good to cm. and adopted all the menus in its power to propit-inlc them. CHAMPIHN WHEAT â€"â€"On Tuesday lust. Mr. Julius Fisk. of lot. No. 24 in the 15:. concession of Vcrulnm. brought usasfliup'c of fall wheat. of'tlIr- Chum pion variety, which may now be seen and admired at. this office, There are no less than IlIiI'ty-<cven stalks. all the producc of a single ul'tlln. the ears are Very large and full. and the wheat is some of the finest and plumpest we have ever seen. The ~‘cctl was procur- cd wust of London, ()IIt., and was SUWII on a new fallow clay loam. The field contained (\vo aeros. and .\l r. Fisk cx pccts it to yield fully 35 bushels to the acre, as he says he never saw such hcadv. lie, intends to sow ton. ncrc> next fall. and if it turns out as well as this year's crop h done he will have such a licld of wheat as is seldom seen in these parts. ACCIDENTâ€"On Monday morninLr Inst. Mr. M. 11. Cochrunc, of this vil- lage, met. with a rather scriousnccideut. While. running in sport from one of our storekecpers. upon whom he had jllrt played a trifling pracrical joke, his pur- suer gave him a sudden push, which caused him to fall forward on to the the bones of his left arm was broken a short distance above the wrist. Dr Brysou, who happened to be close by, at once took him into Fitzgerald’s drug store and applied splints and bandages to the broken arm, which he says will in course of time be as strong as ever. '1‘le person who caused the accident re- grets it very quch, though he can scarcely be blamed. and is much reliev- ed by the knowlede that. the conse- quences of it. are not likely to be per- maneut. CIVIC HOLIDAYâ€"Lust Saturday a few of our villagers took a sudden no fition to have a civic holiday on the fol lowing Thursday, and thc rocvg was promptly interviewed and proclamaâ€" tious printed and issued. When Thurs- day came all the stores remained uno- pened, which was more than we expect- ed. as holidays in Fcttelou Falls arcant popular institutions, and are. generally kept in but a half-hearted manner. This time. however. it. was different. and the main street, presented a Very Sunday-like penrancc. The great point. of attrne on was Sturgeon Point. where the Oddfcllows of tlit‘. District had a monster picnic. and the Toronto Opera Company performed the “ Pi- rates of Penzuncc" in a tent in the Grove. Some of our villagers drove to the Point in buggies. others went in canoes or skids, and quite a number were taken by the Hindu-bill. which l came to the Falls in the afternoon for I the purpmc.

After this he remem- bers nothing until he arose from the stupor caused by the drugged liqum‘, and found himsell'ou a Hlthcl‘ three days at scat. He escaped from the ship and told his story to an American consul. but found that the ofliciul had already been warm (1 to arrest him as u (lescrtI-r.

BARSS, CROPS AND FENCE A I’REY TO THE DESTRUYI‘JL The Wiarton Echo says that serious bush lives are raging in the townships Lindsay and St. Elmunds. At Cockwell d: Grant's saw mill. near Stokc's Buy, the. fire had assumed such threatcniIIg magnitude as to cause the people in that. ncigh‘lxmrhood to aban- tloII their housI's, carrying their person- tIl effects to places of safety. and fleeing for their very lives. Even the mill it- self was abandoned fbr a time. Dense clouds of smoke lInug like .1 poll own- that region, almost. it not totally ob- scoring lroIII View the scene of the con- fltgration. and blinding showers ot ash- es, driven by 11 st”? northwest wind, prevent a near approach to the burning mass. The fire covers an area of mile> in extent, and is working sad havoc a- mong the crops of the settlers. The loss to standing and monufictured tim- her is very large. It is said tlmt in this case the tire was caIN-Il by moi-- miscreants burning a shanty bI-lomim to some one against whqu they had a grudge. If these are the fuct< of the case, five years in the pt‘ttlti'tltinry Would be none too heavy u puoisluncnt for creatures who could be guilty «I! such villainy. Tens ol dollars are lost annually on thi~ l’I-uiu sula through these bush fires. and it i~ high time a remedy was applied to pre- vent their recurrence. A LOVc-Loru H .rmit.
