The total vote polled was only 265, or about oue-fourth of tke total available vote. A Fine Fish. Dr RHendersop of Toronto, who is litdi- dayiug here, showed us on Monday the finest speckled trout we have ever seen caught in Artemssia w.aters. Its outlines were perfect and the color dark and rich . Tho fi.sh was caught in the Sangeen by Mr. Wm Henderson, near Wareham, and weighed exactly 2i pounds. There was considerable excitement in its capture, the fish having got off the hook, aud was on^y .secured iu ashallow place by stabbing it with a jacknife. It was. a beauty in- deed, and enough to make the blood of an oli fisherman run riot. The Township Pays Again then replied : "It was in October, 18C7, I was passing through Leslie's nursery with George Leslie. As we passed under the trees something fell on the sleeve of my coat. I thought it was a grub and brusheil it aside. Later I noticed the same thing there and looking at it more carefully I noticed that it was a little maple leaf. I have it yet. Mr. Leslie said, 'You make poems, Muir, why n< t write one aliout that?' Two luiurfr later the poem was wiitten and it seemed that I was insryjired at the time. The follow- ing Saturday I repeated the lines to my children as we played together on the floor. 'Why don't you sing it?' asked my wife. And so I made the tune." Mr Muir the« told in detail the circumstances under which the poem was published^ showing th.at be aetiially lout twenl7-«i.x dollars on the song and had never reeeiv- ed a cent through its circulfttinn. "Bat I was repaid a thousand times, ' he said," "when on the 31st ef March, 1902, at Hart's Kiver, amid the dead and wound- ed lying around about, our own Canadian boys sanii "The Maple Leaf Forever,^' and while the words rang forth they would not yield but suffered dt-ath itself." The arbitrators in the Isaacs case com- pleted their award on Saturday and the document is now in the hands of the reeve. It is quite a lengthy affair, but the substance is as follow.'*: The town- ship of .\rteine8iB has to pay Is.-iacs four hundred and flfty dollars, liquidate t;:e witnes.s fees and piiy it's own costs a:ui cost of arbitration. Mt. Isaacs will bb obliged to pay his solicitor and doctor nut of the .$450. The whole matter will probably cost this t(.>wnship ?750. The arbitrators were Ja.s. Mc.Vsland of E\ip- hrasia ; R,J. Sproule, Flesherton; and C. Pye, ClarVsburg. We believe these geu- Itfuien tried. their best to arrive at an in- telligent and fair verdict and their finding will no doubt be accepted by all parties as reasonable and fairly satisfactory. John McDougall, a township of Egre- mont resident, twenty years ot age, was «entBnce<.l ou Wedneisday to six month's at hard labor by Judge Morrison on a charge of assult on a ncighbo;-'s danghter a few days ago under fourteen yea<^s of age. The evidence was most revoUiag in many respects, but for want of. corToboration the crown did not press a iai>re serious charge, which His Honor iu passing sen- tence said would on convictinn have sug- gested the application of the Itsh a.s well as a long term in penitentiary. I. B. Lu<;.»3 and W. H. Wright appeared for tho prisoner, and County Crown Attor- ney Amstrong for the prosecution. â€" Times.
