ceipts amounted to $135 and the: outlay to $26 50.In the preparation of the program the academy staff of teachers received valuable aid from Mrs Bruce and Mrs Henderson, and still more from Miss Lucy Mc- Gregor and Miss Margaret Cunningham.The old bell, exhibited on the platform, used to hang in the beliry of the school that existed at onetime on the south side of the river.It was trausferred to the academy in 1855 und did service uutil the giving way of its fustenings caused the fall that broke it.The new bell is expected to be in place at an eavly date.\u2014On Tuesday the old Lunan homestead, Trout river, was bought by Samuel Barrie for $3800 from James Will.The price is higher than any paid for some time, \u2014Ata special meeting of the village council Monday evening the offer of the Waterous company of Brantford, to furnish a steam fire-engine and other appliances for $3200, payable in 10 equal instalments at 5 percent.was accepted.The engine is to be delivered by the 1st February.The only other tender was from Mr Ronald.and for a higher sum.\u2014Diphtheria lingers along Trout river and ithas been deemed prudent to close the Marshall school.The beginning.of the week there was an alarm about the disease having reappeared in Huntingdon, in the family of Mr Chalmers.The boy is now quite well and it is doubtful if what ailed him was diphtheria, which has heen unknown here since the 1st November.There is a case, the first for some time, of typhoid fever in the village.\u2014Yesterday there was a small meeting about securing tiles for drainage.Samples were produe- ed, and after some conversation it was agreed to get more information.The meeting adjourned until the afternoon of the 10th January.\u2014Last evening the first of the Xmas 8.8.anniversaries was held in the basement of the Methodist church which was fairly filled, though not crowded.Rev.W.Craig presided and an interesting programme was presented, in which the young folks in the McLennan tartan, delighted the Scotch heart with the martial strains of the pibroch.The juveniles followed with Nursery Rhymes.Next, Captain Robinson appeared on the gcene with his warriors in \u201cMilitary Discipline\u2019\u2019\u2014soldiers and officers behaving well under the fire of 600 glances.A bevy of extremely young ladies sang prettily a \u2018Cradle Song, keeping time with some extremely large dolls.In the \u201cRinging of the Bells\u201d Inspector McGregor dwelt feelingly on the meinories of the past; Principal Holiday made the present bell speak for itself; and Miss Nolan rophesied concerning the future.It is needless to say that Miss Ames showed hersell mistress of that king of musical instruments, the violin; she was accompanied on the piano by Mies Julia Ames.Four young ladies in waterproofs and carrying umbrellas, brought down t e house, it not the rain, in the piece entitled the \u201cRainy Day.\u201d To Miss Rennie is due the creditof training for this and also for the \u201cMilitary Discipline.We always look for something good from Miss McLean's pupils and we were not disappointed in the Rehearsal.\u201d where six of them performed their parts admirably.Theacademy orchestra,under the leadership of Miss Wills, played a selection of airs.A dialogué entitled \u201cTwo Lives by| Misses Hayter, Rollit and Whealon, | and Messrs Boyd, Coghlan and Han- bore their parts well, and elicited much applause.The singing was particularly good.The superintendent, Mr Dalgliesh, stated the average attendance during the year had been 120 and that the school continued prosperous.He urged upon parents to take more interest in the work of the school and manifest it by coming themselves, He made a touching allusion to the taking away of one of the brightest of the scholurs in Ethel Maclaren.The distribution of presents closed a successful meeting.THE ATHELSTAN 8.SCHOOL will hold their Annual Festival on Christmas Eve, 24th December.À suitable program is being prepared.Tea will be served to the children from 5 o'clock to 6.30.Entertainment to begin at 7 o'clock.Admission 10 cents.HORTHAND.-An experienced L'eacher S has come to the village and will form a claes for learning Shorthand.Success guaranteed todiligent pupils.Residence at A.B.MUNRO'S, opposite the academy.OTICE.\u2014All parties indebted to the N estate of the late James Stephen are requested to settle with the undersigned on or before the 30th December instant, and all parties having claims against the said estate, are requested to present them before the above date.(Signed) Trout River, Que., Dec.15th, 1894.W.F.STEPREN J.A.STEPHEN | | 1 i i Best 25-cent Tea in the district.New Raisins 5 cents, new Labrador Salmon at 7jc per lb, Flour, Meal, Oil-Cake, &c.'

paper.Two doctors having certified the cause of death to have been heart disease, no inquest was held.At midoight a requiem mass was celebrated in the chamber of Windsor castle where the dead man lay.Next day the body vas taken to London.Before it was carried from the castle the Qneen came in person and laid on the coffin a wreath of laurels and white flowers, bearing the worda:\u2014* À mark of sincere regard from Victoria.\u201d On Friday there was a funeral service in the chapel of Our Lady, whence the body vas taken to an undertakers to be embalmed, for it had been resolved that the burial should be in Canada.At the command of the Queen, the man-of-war Blenheim war prepared to convey it to Halifax.She is to sail on Saturday, and isexpected to reach Halifax on the 31st.Sir Charles Tupper is to accompany the remaius.Apparently the intention is to have the burial in the Catholiccemetery at Halifax, where the late premier lived most of his life.The Queen received Miss Thompson, the youngest daughter of Sir John, Friday afternoon.The despatch says her majesty was deeply sympathetic, drew Miss Thompson towards her and kissed her uffectionately on both cheeks like a mother.The Queen also expressed hier deep and sincere personal condolences with Miss Thompson.The scene was most touching, A subscription has been opened in Can- adu to secure an annuity to Lady Thompson and her youn:sest daughter, who is an invalid.It seems the late premier lived up to his income was preparing the deed of abandon.It is moat extraordinary that a disease unknown in Canada should develop among our cattle while on shipboard.It almost seems as il there was a plot to infect the animals while on the voyage.The other bit of bad news is, that while the Laur entian was landing at Liverpool 2,000 sheep from Montreal, the veterinaries picked out several affected by scab.This may lead to sheep being classed with cattle, and their landing alive forbidden.THE pews from China is meagre.There are reports of a few small fights and the statement that cold weather is hindering Japanese movements.Britain and Russia are understood to be agreed in forbidding any Japanese landing near the treaty ports.Tue financial crisis in Newfoundland continues.To supply a cur- reucy, the government is to guarantee the bills of the Union bank.This step will give immediate relief.Investigation shows the Commercial bank to be rotten to the core.It had advanced 2 millions to favored customers without security.Its shareholders are likely to lose everything.THOSE whose business brings them in contact with the poor of our cities report an unprecedented degree of suffering and destitution.The soup kitchens of Mackenzie's days would be nowhere to adequately relieve the want existing in Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, and other western cities.On Monday a crowd of 900 men visited the city hall in Montreal, asking for work.There is something radically wrong in our social and political systema when, with unoccupied land pt our doors, people are starving.| TRIAL OF BOYD AND SOMERVILLE.Beauharnois, Dec.12.\u2014The reading of documents occupied part of the day.followed by the evidence of Mr Lapointe, deputy pro- \u201cthonotary, as to the assignments of the accused and the steps taken to realize theirestates.Cross-examined , by Mr Seers, Lapointe said while he $51.749, were placed to the credit of Boyd & Co.and ro marked in their passbook.Out of the amount $51,570 wus paid to the Merchants\u2019 bank of Halifax at Ormstown and the balance placed to credit of Boyd & Co.The umount paid to the bank at Ormstown was xo paid by the instructions of Mr Somerville, one of the partners of Boyd & Co., and with the consent of Boyd.There were other cheques, one for $100 in December, and 5 in January.We balance all passbooks at theend of month and get a verification of their correctness from our customers.We received such veriication on 3nd of January from Boyd & Co.We hereby acknowledge to have received from the Eastern Townships bank our passbook with nineteen vouchers and cheques showing a balance at credit on the close of business on 31st day of December, 1893, of 352.110.We undertake to examine and note for the munager of the bank any errors or omissions within fifteen days, otherwise it should be accepted us a correct balance.Boyp & Co.Mr Robinson testified to the above signature being in the handwriting of Daniel Boyd.To his knowledge, the Eastern Townships bank had received no notice of correction from Boyd &Co.within the fifteen days.Witness went on to repeat his formerevidence as to how Boyd & Co.had come to get a line of discount from the E.T.bank, and which was given r \u2018ter Boyd & Co.had taken an invent y and submitted a statement of their affairs.Dec.18.\u2014Mr Robinson continued: mortgage on foundry heingadded by instruction of partners.The statement is vot signed by either of the accused.Somerville did not go to see Mr Pense about giving up branch at Ormstown nt my request.He volunteered to go to get certain information for me, and thar information resulted in the purchase by the E.T.of the branch at Ormstown.Do not remember whether it was after Somerville\u2019s return with said information that I told him the E.T bank had agreed to give the loau to Boyd & Co.\u201d Am sure it was him I told, forall the negotiations were carried on with him.I told him of the loan being granted, wben I thought proper.Ilearned on the 29th Dec.of the bargain being completed for transfer of Ormstown branch to the E.T.Dec.14.\u2014Cross-examination of Mr Robinson continued : Of the notes prescribed 10 are from Quebec and amount to $340.Are you aware that prescription may be interrnpted ?Yes, in some cases; where a judgment ie taken.Would an action?Cannot say.Are you aware that an ncknow- ledgment stops prescription ?0.Are you aware what the period for prescription is in Ontario ?Witness said he did not know enough of Oatario laws to say definitely.Mr Maclaren said date of prescription in Ontario and Maritime provinces was 6 years, so that none of notes were prescribed except the few from Quebec.Mr Robinson: I did not call the attention of Mr Corbett or of the accused to the capital not being set down in the statement.The notes The statement was left with me about the 1st Dec., 1893, and I met the two partners at Mr Corbett\u2019s house.All threeassured me the state-: ment was correct and Icould rely on values placed on assets.Corbett declared he bad written off $20,000 of | bad debts and the surplus was solid; both partners heard him.The state- went showed a surplus of $96,288 over all liabilities.The statement was sent to the head office, and on 5th Dec.Mr Farwell told me the directors had decided togrant a loan | of $60,000 to Boyd & Co.On 80th Dec.I made the tirst advance, name- | ly the $53,000 note already mentioned, on 30th Dec.The bank in granting the loan relied solely on thetruth of the statement of their affairs handed to me by Boyd & Co.Whengiven me by Mr Corbett in presence of the two partners, I was told the linbility of the firm to the Merchants\u2019 bank of Halifax was $48,000.and Mr Somer- ville said he was due the bank of B.N.America $20,000.but that wus his own private business and Boyd & Co.had nothing to do with it.The and has left nothing,

papers for bir.| In the afternoon Mr Elliot returned B scription parliament should vote a pension, to which there would be no opposition.THE decision to bury the remains of the late premier in Canadian soil, left no option to the governor- general than to constitute at once a new ministry.On Thursday he called Sir Frank Smith aud asked him to undertake the task, which he declined, recommending Mr Bowell.That gentleman was willing and ready and yesterday informed his excellency he had succeeded.It is the old cabinet, with a single change of portfolios.8ir Hibbert Tupper becomes minister of justice and Mr Costigan succeeds him as minister of marine and fisheries.Mr Dickey has been asked to make up the number broken by Sir John Thompsou\u2019s death.The general impression is that Mr Bowell\u2019s occupancy of the premiership is merely to give the Conservative party leaders a breathing spell to arrange for a permanent appointinent.Business is progressing with fair speed at Quebec and Mr Taillon is sanguine that the session will close with the year.That is hardly likely, however.As the treasury has again run dry.another loan of 2% millions is expected.Bab news comes for our farmers.In a load of cattle \u2018from Montreal, landed at Antwerp, the inspectors declared they had detected pleuro- pneumonia, which closes continental ports to the landing of live Canadian cattle and streng- thems the British government incontinuing theexisting regulations.Somerville to go with him and he with Mr Somerville, who swore to | the statement as fyled.Tbe aband- | onment is in Mr Elliot's writing and contains a clause asking for permission to correct, in the event of errors or omissions in the statement being discovered.An amended statement _in Mr Elliot\u2019s writing was fyled on , the 23th Feby., with a memo on it that notice of it had been sent to Mr Elliot, acting for the E.T.bank.The abandonment of Boyd & Co.is also in Mr Elliot's writing.In the statement of

Ascertained Boyd had overdrawn his account.Boyd confirmed the transactions at Ormstown by signing receipt for vouchers.AN the debit entries in Boyd & Co's.passbook are cheques.Did Daniel Boyd sign a cheque for the payment yon made to the Merchants bank of Halifax for $51,570 ?I cannot say that he did.Mr Maclaren here produced an un.si cheque for that amount, which witness acknowledged to have made there, an item of $10,975 written out but which Boyd & Co.hin assistants.Mr Seers commented on the nnfair- ness of private prosecutors appearing as crown officers.The Judge noted the objection, After a delay of thirty-five minutes the court resumed business, , Mr Mitchell remarked that he considered this unwarranted attack a decided compliment, as showing the consternation his appearance produced in the ranks of thedefence, and proceeded to examine Mr Penfold, i who deposed to Somerville\u2019s depositing farmers notes payable to Boyd & Co.and endorsed by them as collateral security for advances made to Somerville.Mr Penfold said Somer- | ville\u2019s account dated back to 1884, and produced the original agreemeat hy which the bank advanced to him $30,000 at 7 per cent.on

circulation.In cross-examination, he said that Somerville had at oud time a credit of $70,000, secured by a large note of Boyd & Co.and farmers\u2019 notes en- i dorsed by Boyd & Co.In January, 1898,
