MARKDALE, OCT. 20. 1887 HIGH SCHOOL. Meafordand Thombnry are pnshinp; their claims for the establisl^ment of a High School, while Durham, on the other side, is showing an anxiety in a similar direction. Now Markdole is the place for a High School, l^^ving • the best railway facilities, being most centrally situated in the county, and furthermore, the most thrii^g village ot the lot. The great advantages which our prosperous Jtown possesses are many, and, shall we say^ envied, by onr 'ess favored neighbors, and while we do not wish to boast of them, yet, they should not bo lost sight of in an educational point of yiew. We have a good Public School, which may be seen by a glance over the report of Entrance Examinations from time to time, and when we con- sider its heaRbful, and geographical situation, stability and progressiveness and prosperous agricultural surround- ing country, the most casual observer will at once, conclude that Markdale is eminently suited for the establish- ment of a High School. ALLEN'S SINK HOLE. On Thursday last, Messrs Dr. Old- Jiam and Ghas. Moffat, Esq., reeves of Holland and Glenelg respectively, met according to notice at above place where quite a number gathered to take part in the letting of a contract to build a floating bridge across that no- torious and farfamed "Sink hole," for sinking luud, if you please.] The bidding was spirited resulting ill our townsman, C. A. Johnston, getting the contract at $380. We believe tlje bridge now contract ed for will prove a substantial and permanent job, and Johnston is a cap- i^allnan for the work. The contract is to be completed by the let April next, but Mr. Johnston is now taking out the timber and expects to haye .it finished this fall. NOTE AND COMMENT. â€"Winnipeg had a $30,000 fire last Friday niglit. â€"The cash in the U, S. Treasury now amounts to $658,734,620. Belleville BoaT« of Trade has pass- ed a resolution favoring Commercial Union. â€"Hon. Edward Blake has started on a tgur for Italy, and will be absent several months. â€"Fifteen thousand immigrants have arrived in Winnipeg this year up to date. â€"A fire in Cincinnati last Satur- day burned nine million feet of hard- wood lumber. â€"It is^ appearently settled that Plymouth church will not call Eev. Dr. Parker. â€"Sir Charles Tapper has been ap- pointed as Canadian representative on the Fisheries Commission. â€" McGarigle, the fugitive Chicago boodler, is said to be Uving about six miles from St. Catharines, his being with him. Gompaoy, also President of tbe Montreal Street BaHway Oampany. and has constructed several railways in that province. • â-  â€"The appointment of Sir Charles Tapper to act as Canadian represent- ative on the Fisheries convention, a special cablegram to the Mail from London says, gives satisfaction, al- though great surprise is expressed at Sir John Macdonald's standing aside. Commercial Union, as the solution of a long standing and difficult question, would be well received in England. â€" Su: Charles. Tupper's appoint- ment as Canada's representative on the Fisheries Commission appears to be regarded with general approbation in political circles in Ottawa. It is believed that the Minister of Justice will accompany Sir Charles to Wash- ington and present tbe Dominion case before the Comihission. Mr. H. T. Bergne, of the British Foreign Office, .who acted as secretary of the Halifax Commission, will again hold the pos- ition at the approaching conference. â€" The fate of the Chicago anarch- ists is still undecided. Every effort is being made to have the sentence modified, but it is to be hoped without effect. The crasy [crank of a young girl who has got herself engaged to one of these fellows is moving heaven and earth, or say earth and the other place, in favor of the ebj|ct of her absurd affections. Her mother says that if the fellow is hanged her daught- er will go insane. No fear. S^e is as mad as a March hare already, and perhaps the death of the anarchist would be (tlie best thing that could befall her. It might htin^ her to her senses agam. « â€" TheEev. M. Baxter, of the Church of England, has just delivered three "prophetic lectures" at Liverpool. According to Mr. Baxter, England, soon is to be seperated legislatively from Ireland, India and her colonies. Lucieu Bonaparte is to become King of Syria, and, later on, ^Emperor of France. Belgium and the Rhine pro- vinces are to be annexed to France. In 1896, 144,000 Christians are to ascend from earth to heaven, and the millennium is to commence on .^pril 11th, 1901. The lecturer challenged any minister or individual to show that he had made any mistake, of whatever nature such "mistake" may be.

The first was with Mr. Shield's horse, [the cattie buyer. As he and Messrs. fL Buchanan and J.
