The cession lasted exaotly two months, oommenoing on February 1st, and being prorogued on April lat. The only important change to the game laws is an amendment whiob per. mite the killing of deer in the water. lion. Mr. Hardy says there is not the slightest foundation for the Mail's story about the reoonebruotion of the Outerio Cabinet. The olanee referring to "cotton tail" rabbits was struck out of the game law bill. They can be shot ab , all seasons as formerly. .A, praiseworthy act is the decision of the Government to eel apart Targe traots for the preservation of young timber and for reforestation. The Queen Viotoria Niagara Falls Park Commissioners are empowered to make any agreementthey desire with any companies, subject to the approval of the Lieutenant Governor.in•Counoil for the development of the Niagara Falls power. One of the hest Aote of the Ontario Legislature was to amend the Municipal Aot by striking out the olause whioh planed a heavy burden on the taxing of trading stamp companies. The amend. went was not to some into force until January 1900 and by nnanimoas oonsent it was withdrawn. The Legislature paused the Bill to fix the assessment of the new proposed Pal. ane Hotel in Toronto at 3360,000 a year for ten years and give it water at 5 cents per 1,000 gallops. The Opposition voted solid for the Bill and with two Cabinet ministers— Dryden and Garrow —and seven Liberals it passed by 40 to 83. The shortage in the provincial revenue from the out of white pine lumber is likely to prove a blessing rather than a disadvantage. Prohibiting the export of pine loge will be an advantage to Canada and Canadians and it has also forced the Provinoial Government to tap a source of revenue that should have been producing years ago, The Ontario Historical Society was in- corporated, its object being to collect, preserve and exhibit materials for the study of history, especially of Canada and Ontario, to acquire dooameote and manuscripts, to conduct a library of his• torioalreference and maintain a gallery of historical portraiture and an ethoo- logioal and historical museum. The new Revenue Bill and the Bill in. creasing the Lioenee Fees payable by brewers, distillers and liquor dealers in cities went into force on Saturday. The Treasury Department officials are now engaged in Bending oat oiroulate to the finanoial corporations notifying them of the paesage of the new law and of the conditions they will be required to fulfil. Two important provisions were added to the bill assisting the constructing of the New Ontario railways. One requires the rolling stook which ie to be need in the railways aided to be manufactured in Canada, and the other prohibits the em- ployment in the construction work of persons the subjects of a country whiah has an alien labor law in force against Canada. The private bi 1 legislation this session has been the heaviest since Confederation. The total number of measures brought in was 253. Of these 121 passed including 93 private bills. The next heaviest eee- sion was in 1873, when 233 bills ware in- troduced. The statutes of 1892 make a big volume, but that is owing to the feat that in that year the municipal and assessment ante and other laws were con. eolidated. One of the sots which was passed through on Friday morning was one giv- ing the Crown the power to refund fees to persona whose lands were appropriated for the purpose of forming forest reserves. An order-in•Couoail will be passed mak- ing the reservation of 50,000 sores cam. pieta. The dietriot to be reserved is in the Counties of Addington and Fronte. nao, and includes the townships of Almiger, Clarendon, Barrie and Palmer. Ston. These townships are unfit for agriculture, are unsettled and are looked upon as a model spot for the experimen- tal reforestry. The Government took further steps to stimulate the mining industry by a grad• Rated bonus, designed to encourage the use of Ontario ore in the blast furnaces of the Provinoe. The quantity of ore smelted in Ontario has increased from 21,138 tone in 1896 to 77,024 tone in 1898 the proportion of Ontario ore used in this process rising from 15,270 tons to 20,988 tope. Large bleat furnaces are be- ing erected in Deeeronto and Midland, and the prospects for iron mining and smelting are very bright. The Govern- ment's polioy of bounties is designed to set the iron industry on its feet, and when that is accomplished the subsidies will be withdrawn. Any interest that repaired permanent aid to keep it alive would not be worth the money spent on it, Edward Versals, of Baden, who made six -weeks' trip to Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, returned this week highly pleased with the country for the production of flax to famish Beed for the Canadian mills. Canadian courts have decided that if a thresher agrees to thresh the contents of a farmer's barn at a given price, and fable 10 complete hie contract, he not only 'Pee his pay for what he hag done, but ie liable for an action of damages for breach of contract. The 30 foot rook ledge that jutted out from the Niagara olitre, just North of the steel railway arch, on Friday fell with a great crash. The rook elide carried with it a portion of the new elevator, the old Bettor, Buttelevator, and covers the gorge road on the American side. The rumor comes from Kingsville that Detroit parties have made an offer to boy out the intercede of the Ontario Natural Gae & Oil Co, in the South Essex gas fields, the priori being $2,000,000. J. Harrington Walker gays there is no tenth in it, but that the company would be glad to gall out at that Agora. The Depaelmentef Militia hag decid- ed upon the number of batalione whioh are to be mobilized for teething during the drill ameon of 1899. The tamp at Lrondon will be held from May 8011 to Jane 10th, when 8,700 men are to be teethed. The firer Infantry Brigade will 0008101 of 8 batalione,- and the esoond brigade of 4 batalione.

ADDRESS AND PRESENTAT ION. —A. very large number of people gathered at the home of Andrew McKee to show their appreciation of kis friendship and also their sorrow at his departure to his new 170me in Fordwieb. The eveuiug was very enjoyably and profitably spent by George Gibson reading an address of his own composition, after which there were speeches, sooge, eto., and a grand oyster supper to wbioh they all did juetioe. The address was ae follows :— To Mr. Andrew McKee It is with mingled feelings of pleasure and pain that I am now addressing you on behalf of your friends now present, and of malty others of your well withers who are unavoidably absent, but joy and - aorrow are so blended together in the warp and wool of our lives that it is im- possible to have one without the other, and the pain and regret that we all feel at your leaving tbie neighborhood where you have resided so long and been ao well and favorably known, is to a certain ex. tent softened by the thought that you are about to enjoy that repose from your toil your long and arduous labor has so well earned. Doming here with your father and your brothers when this noun• try was an unbroken forest, undergoing all the berdsbips and vicissitudes in. aideutal to the life of the pioneer in a new country, of you and your brothers it oan truly be said eesow loaned did they drive the team afl, How haetdwed the woods beneath their sturdy stroke;' Persevering through all the many diffi• oalties and disoouragoments that met you on your way, you have had the satisfa°. tion of seeing cultivated fields replace the primeval woodland .and of literally mak.. ing the wilderness rejoice and blossom ae. the rose, and although to a000mplish this end, it has taken from you steady and unremitting labor, that labor was sweet- ened by the proepeob of seeing fields of golden grain waving in the breeze ; of eating fruit from trees of your own plant• ing; and of sitting under your own vine and fig tree, none daring to molest or make you afraid. Endeared us every foot of this farm must be to you by the thought that it was your own labor that made it, it is only natural that you should feel a certain degree of sadness et leaving it, for "Happy he whom neither wealth nor faabion, pride nor the march of the encroaching +city drives an exile from the hearth of hie ancestral homestead, for we may build more splendid habitations+, fid your rooms with paintings+ and with soalptnres but we cannot buy with gold the old. associations." And there are, doubtless, many endearing aseooiabions that are connected with and cluster round what has beep your home for so many ,years, where you have lived your life and reared your children, -and the ties of a lifetime are not easily broken. Bub there are home in men's lives that are worth years of ordinary existence, and the as. sembling of so many old friends and neighbors here to.nigbt to show their appreoiallon of, and in order to do Honor to you and your household as well as to present you and your worthy heldmeet with this aouoh as a tokee of their love and esteem, will, T [trust serve in some degree to mark this day es one of the red letter daye in the calendar of your life, and it is their earnest desire that wherever your Int may be oast that hap- piness and prosperity will attend you, and bloat the Great Giver of every good end perfect gift will continue to hostel,' upon you the blessing that maketh doh and addobh no sorrow with it. The recipient made a very suitable reply. CHANGE OF BUSINESS. The undersigned having purobasod the Restaurant business of W.
