The (rout fishing season will open on Monday next. This will not he such good news as it formerly was to some of our anglers, as the available fields of op'Tation are getlinjr somewhat curtailed. The Boyne river through the valley used to be one of the best of these streams, but this is now owned by W. A. Arm- strong for a distance of about two miles, and he purposes protecting it absol- utely for ft few years and issues a warning in Ibis paper against trespassers. A large amount of building will be done liy farmers in the vicinity of Flesherton this summer and contractors have their handd full. Mr. John Whitten of this place h.is four barns and two houses to erect. Among the buildings to be erected are hou.ses for R.Hoy, S.McMuUen, Wes^ ley Buskin, and Jos. Duncan; barns for Tho.*.

Eugenia Electric De-^elopmant A party of half a dozen Toronto uen- tlomon, members of the Eugenia Falls Electric Power Company, visited the falls on Tuesday to inspect their property. One of the gentlemen informed The Ad- vance that the engineer is now on the ground laying out the plana, and active work will begin in about two weeks, when a gang of men will bo puo on. Hunt of the stock in the company has, it is said, been disposed of, and prospects appear to bo bright. â-  â-  *-^^-^ â-  â-  Railways Mr. R. J. Sproule attended a meeting of directors of the Huron & Ontario Rail- way Company held in Walkerton on Fri- day last. This meeting was called to ratify an agreement to extend the bond- ing privilopes of the road, the object being to make it pos-^ible to build a steam r-;ad instead of electric. Mr. May, the Montreal contractor, appears to mean business, and a strong feeling exists that the road will be built. The first section to be built, according to the contract, is that from Walkerton to Flesherton. Mr. Slay's option expires in July and a com- mencement will have to be made before that time, otherwiso a new company (will probably be in the field, which, it is said, is being backed by the C. P. R. Th» prospects are of the briaht-est that there will be something doing in railway build- ing here during the coming summer. The Charlton line souih is also said to be among the sure the things. Mrs. Hector McDonald who lived near Mclntyre, died after having returned from the Collingwo >d hospit-al, where she had been nudffrgning treatuienr for a couple of weeks. Her husband and two in. terestiiig children survive. Mr. McDon- ald hiid an auction salf of his farm stock a few weeks ago iiid had all the arrange nicnts made for leaving for the wast thi «eek. â€" Crcoiuore Star. Charles McKinley <.f .\lton, attempted to commit .suicide by cutting his leg with a butcher kuife last week. He was dis- covered in time to save his life, and after- wards was committed to Brampton g.iol. He had only returneil that day from Owen Sound and the States where he spent the winter.
