Luoknow, December 29, 1899 ,I1••••••• f PROPOSED AMENDMENT Duriag the last session of the Leg- islative Assembly a hill was introduced by Mr. Mutric, member for South Wellington, the object of whish was to change the date of the commencement of the Financial year of Municipalies from January lst to the 1st of Dec. in order that the accounts for the pro- ceeding year might be audited and a statement of the audit and of the re- ceipts. disbursements, assets and liabil- ities of thecorporation covering the term of the jetiring council mignt be made up by the auditors and be laid before the electors -prior to nomination day.

The Boston Herald cannot see that anything hes happeatel to show that the Boer is in anyway the superior of his British opponent. The Herald points out that for weeks pest the 1,500 British soldiers at Mafeking have held oat against more then twice their number of Boers ; for practically tbe seine time the 1,300 British soldiers at Ketni)erley have held that piece against tar ea or tour times their num- ber of the enemy ; for an a!tnoit PhD- ilar time Jeri.

Iathuea, in his advanc on Kitu')erley, took three diff- erent poeitions held by the Boer fore sa bst of the same streagth as his own. It cost him severely to do this, hut he did it, and the Boars mere forced to retire.

Jessie McKenzie, widow of the tate Duncan McKenzie, in the 78th year of her age. Mrs. McKenzie was one of the most widely known and highly respected citizen of the township. She had been ailing for the last two years and had been confined to bed the last six months, and at times suffering great pain. But passed peacefully away on 'Wednesday morning. Her genial manner and kindness will long be le - membered, that she has gone to a better land, must brighten the sorrow ef her family, who have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. She was born 1821, in the Island of Rasay Inverness Shire, Scotland. When but young, she immigrated with her parents to Prince Edward Island ; and in the year 1845 she was married to John Beaton of that place with whom she had three children, one son and two daughters, Mrs. Archie Mc- Donald, Mrs. Murdoch Campbell and John Beaton, all of whom reside in Fort William, In 1848 her husband (lied, also her father and one brother. The remainder of the family left Prince Edward Island in the year 1853, and moved to Ontario, and she and her family accompanied them. They set- tled in the township of Kinloss, and in the year 1856 she was married to Dancan McKenzie, who peacefully passed away nine years ago. To them were born four children, three sons and one daughter, John on the home- stead, Alex., living near -by, Duncan, in Vancouver, B. C., and Mrs. J. B. McTaggart, formerly of Fort William, but now of Moosejaw, Manitoba, who has been home the last two 'months during her mother's illness. Three brothers and one sister survive her. Donald and Malciilm, and Mrs. Mc- Lean, of Gladstone, Manitoba, and James of Kinloss. The remains were accompanied to the family plot of interment in Kinloss Cemetery by many sorrowful friends. The pallbearers being her two sons' and four nephews. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Cisurch. The Rev. F. A. McLennan conducted the funeral service e at the house and grave.

An Irishman has fought and near- ly killed a Perisiin editor for insulting Queen Victoria. With the same warm chivalry of the race, Daniel O'Uonnel declared sixty yeers ago that he would raise, i)ineed be, a 100 thousand men in Ireland to defend the young Queen. British statesman say that.Britain can if necessary spend E250,000,000 terling without increasing the present rates of taxation or adding to the National debt.

Sir—We notice in your issue of the 15th hest, that Professor Robertson, at a meeting of the Fruit Growers Association at Whitby last week, made the statement that "dishonesty in fruit packing is on the increase,' and that the aid of Government is be ing sought t) re,eedy the fraud. Now, we wish to ask the "Professor," or any one else, what earthly motive can there. be, either on the part of the shipper, or the packer for fraudulent packing ? The grower, of course cannot be in- dicted of fraud, as he is not ahowed a voice or a hand in the matter. It, seems very plain to us that, if there is a fraudulent motive in this affair, it ie. a fraud intended to be perpetrated on the Government and the country, by hungry office seekers who "Cancot dig and to beg they are ashamed," and so, they want a good lucrative sit, without a portifolio—a fat office with- ont much to do. What say yon to this, "Professoil We pause for a re- ply. a It is highly improbable that Kruger has announced his willingness to make peace on the basis of the conditions existing before the outbreak of war, Britian tc pay all the costs he hu been put to.

When one of those "war experts" from whom so much is heard nowedays complains that no information is per- mitted to go over the cable from Afri- ca, and then proceeds to tell in several calarans just how each section of the army in the field is situated and how the generals are bungling things, the reader feels that he is being treated to something almost too thin to deserve thenarne humbug.
