The excursion ta Niagara Falls billed for Monday the 22nd would have been an immense success had the boa-t cal- led. but owing ta the roughness of the lake the preceeding day, and the dense fog prevailing thraughout Monday, prevented the Garden City fram mak- ing the trip and caused cansiderable disappointment.

Ovons is visiting in Rochester -"My engineer tells bas been taken inta The contractors are VALENTYNrC MnI. jas. Miller's crops have evident- ly not suff ered from lack of rain. Like Dives of aid he bas found it necessary ta pull dawn and build larger. The many farmer-s of this vicinity, wbo "got out" the new metbod of en- suring short alsike by turning the sheep on it in the spring, would be much obliged if those same sbeep would aid in cutting that is left, as it ranges fr-ar two ta six inches bigh, The mast ignorant act of meanness ever penpetrated around ber-e was done some few weeks aga at Vallentyne. It appears that some years ago a certain J. P., of this vicinity allowed the life use of a diminutive littie lot ta bis brother. The latter, it is said, built a hause and planted a ver-y fine orchard in it. Upon his death his daughter was allowed the use at a nominal r-ent and before her- deatb she willed the trees ta ber- brother, who faitbfully tended ber in ber illness. He bas been the victim of many reverses and bas the use of only one band ta, supý- port a large family. He also plauited a garden on the plot. During the fun- eral of the deceased wo.nen two sons of the original owner camne up close to the fence, and before the hearse had pr-oceeded twenty rods began to tear down the fence and saw dowu the mag- nificent trees already loaded with fruit. Tbey even pioughed Up the garden, thinking, 1 suppose, that they could commit any means they desîred witlh impunity. However, thClr cousin al- tbough poor was able to ýdemnd JUS- tice, and they now have, to pay for the. trees and other dainages.

In answer to an enqu<iry made by Sir. Richard Cartwright, Mr. uimet, tbe Minister of Public Works, said: -The outiet of the lake is too small in the spring freshets, and the work to be done is to enable a larger amount of water to go through the outiet when the water is high. The bottom of that out- let will remain as it is, so as in the sumnmer time to leave the waters of the lake at the same height as now. This is to prevent a second flooding of the surrounding countries in June after seeding time, and also to improve the lake for navigation. Tenders have been called by public advertisement, and the cantractor has received instruc- tions ta go on with the work. There were same difficulties raised as to juris- diction. Complaints were also made that the result of these impravements wauld bc ta injure some people who had wNater power-s in the vicinity. and this had ta be inquir-ed inta before uindertaking a work which might in- val1ve future litigation. It has been cserla ined that na injury will follaw ta hnoe ut that, an the other hand it wîlil bc a benctit ta thie whale sur-round- ing distriet, whîch is a farming district of ven- grcat 'importance. Na part of the grant gues ta anybody far any water l)rivilege~s at the autset. The works consst in excavatîng supplementary l)~~~S14 ta 95 feet wide down ta low,% water level opposite the easter-n outlet of Lake Cauchiching into the River Severn at the nor-th end of Rama Island, so as ta increase the discharging power of this outlet very materially during the high water period without interfering with the sarne when the lakes reach their normal level. It will flot, interfere with navigation. The channel is flot ta be deepened, and when the water reaches its ordinary level the discharge will not be greater. It is oniy while the water is very high that the discharge will be greater. Four outlets havè been surveyed, but the improved work will only be made in two of tbem." Mr. Mulock: "While it is import- ant that the water be regulated sa that it will flot be too high and flood back an the adjoining lands, it is also import- ant that the level should not faîl tac law. If the scheme lowers the waters, without any provision for retaining the waters after the principal spring freshets are aver. it may happen that you wil] find the communication between the twa lakes absolutely interrupted for a certain season of the year. The prac- tical effect may be if you lower the water down ta a certain level and there is not sufficient supply ta the lakes foi the remnainder of the season ta make up the loss by evaporation and over- flow, navigation between the two lakes may be interferred witb, and vesse1s will not be able ta approach the hart> ours around the lakes.
