NOTES FROM THE QUEEN
CITY.
_
TORONTO, October 12th, 1891.
The current issue of the Ontario
Gazette sounds the knell of the old
wards. Even tharnemory of old St.
John's in a short vehlle shall have passed
into oblivion. There will be six new
divisions, each having four , representa-
tives in the council. Instead of 39, next
year we will hearken to the eloquence of
only 24 aldermen. And 80 it has come
about that the historic ward organiza-
tions will be snuffed out, tyler and all.
By an observant Outsider the prophecy is
made that only six of the preeent coun-
cil will be re-elected. For this reason
we can thankfully cast the mind to a
new era of good representation. At
least until the compounded districts get
used to each other.
wito WILL BE NEXT MAYOR.
Forecasting the next occupant of the
Mayor's chair is quite a difficult opera-
tion. Mayor .Clarke, M. P. P., has
been in office four years and, despite op-
position, his comprehensive grasp Of
municipal history might, if he chose,
land him in the City Hall for a fifth
term. Some say Mr. Clarke'a destiny
lies at Ottawa in Senecal's position,
which, being true, %vould dispose of him
as far as the Ontario House and the
Municipal Buildings are concerned.
Ald. Shaw, who for many long years has
sought in the Council surcease from
agricultural carol that oppress at his
131oor street miniature farm, will be a
candidate if hie idol, the present Mayor,
goes eas ard. Ex-Ald. Fleming, ex..

moneh for services in the United States
army during the stirring campaigns of
that war. Mr. Gamble,three years ago,
went down to Mexico, in connection
with his cledniteend while there met some
of his old cc ,erradea, who are now in the
soldiers' h4,e4- in the city of Mexico.
These recognizing in Mr. Ce'amble an old
comrade in tbe battles of Molina Del
Rey, and, Cherabusco, no doubt aided
him in e lablishing his claim, the ben-
eficent re ults of which Mr. Gemble is
now in th enjoyment.
—A two-year-old son of Samuel Har-
king, Belleville, the other day stepped

boards tipped up beneath his feet, He

—George Hammond, shepherd at the
OntarioAgricultural College, Guelph,
had a narrow eecape from being killed
the ether day. He was riding around
after some sheep, and in attempting to
go through a gate the horse suddenly
backed into the five foot drain running
along the College road. The animal
turned a complete somersault and fell
on one of Mr. Hammond's legs. At the
same time its hind legs got fastened
some way under the culvert so that it
could eat move, which was a most prov-
idential thing, or Hammond would most
likely have been trampled to death by
the animal attempting to rise.
—Says the Galt R-eporter: While two
of our sportsmen were shooting in the
vicinity of Branchton, a few days ago,.
they started up quite a covey of quail.
Plentiful enough in the old days, when
almost every piece of pine woods or
large male held its- covey, and when in
the beautiful spring mornings "Bob
White" would call his mate from his
perch on stump or fenee rail, the clear-
ing of the country and the severe win-
ters with deep snow gradually thinned
them out until they became extinct in
this section: They may come back
should the winters prove comparatively
mild, but there are many reaions against
their doing so. Sportsmen will do well
to bear in mind that these birds are not
to be shot before the lath October.
—Bolton vs. Bolton was tried last
week at the Middlesex Assizes, The
father -in law of the plaintiff died Sep-
tember 2nd, 1889, and the husband died
last December. The latter was named
an executor of the former's will. The
plaintiff is suing the administrators of
the affairs of her father-in-law, Wm. J.
Bolton for $500, alleging to be due her
husband for wages, according to the
old man's will. At the time of the
death of W. J. Bolton there was on his
property a team of horses and a set of
harrows valued at $130. These the
plaintiff's husband kept. At the time he
took the tease of his father's farm, the

CHURCH DIFFICULTIES.
Three of our city churches enjoy the
name of being divided against them-
selves, Chester Church, Broadway Tab-
ernacle, and St. Augustine's. Tho last
named, however, is in a fair way to
peace and quietness; It was in- connee
tion with this church that the name of
Mr. George Gooderiam was dragged in
the dust last springs Why investors of
money should greet easier terms to
church trustees than to other parties is
not knownebut they of St. Augustinehi
seem to have been expecting a great deal
of Mr. Gooderham. In the first instance
he held a mortgage against the edifice
fer $17,000 at 7 per cent. The congre-
gation have been unable to reduce the
principal or pay interest. All last week
% bailiff was in , possession, but Mr,
Gooderham has heaped coals of fire upon
the heads of those who have attacked
him by allowing the unpaid interest to
be added to the mortgage and reducing
the interest to 4 per cent. - The bailiff old, Joseph Frarey.

and, consequently, it is oeedl4s to say
they were good. On Friday there must
have been fully four thousaild people

only '10 cents for adults and 5 cents for
children, and the gate receipts amount:
ed to about $400, besides sibout 300

egietered
of the Pan -Presbyterian Alliance, the
programme was arranged which will
direct the wink of the alliance when it
holds its big meeting in Toronto in Sep-
tember, 1892. Much attention is being
paid to this important event, although
as yet so remote.
THE LITTLE FAIRS.
This is the season for the township
fairs. Big shows like the Industrial are
all very well, but the sports of the town
look forward with equal zeal to the dis-
play of abnormal pumpkins which the
surrounding townships indulge in. Beat
known to lime are the Woodbridge and
Markham fall fairs. The latter glad-
dened many hearts last week. The city
sent out its big quota of old and youth-
ful dudes, aud the return to town was as
hilarious as it always is, and accounts
for many blank pages in private
diaries.
THE KILTIES.
No, no. The Kitties are not to get.
their $5,000 grant so easily from the
city funds. That very awful body of
censors known as the Trades and Labor
Council has writ' thee the municipal body
did wrong even to consider the project.
On broad grounds many conceive the
public -nursing of sectional prejudice is
wrong. However, if the Legislature at
its next sitting deems the grant legal the
Highland Regiment will get its money.
There is likelihood of a strong show of
opposition.
AN INDEPENpENT OFFICIAL.
The late City Erigheeer's firm stand as
to control of his subordinates' salaries has
been productive of much talk and news-
paper vaporings, not to mention the
stormy meeting of ethe Board of Trade,
which upheld and Managed to widen the
breach between M. Jennings and the
aldermen. A matt with the courage of
his convictions sufficiently developed as
to let go a $5,000 position is worth meet-
ing. His friends who appreciated thia
made a strong fight for reconciliation,
but personal opposition seems quite
enough to miscarry all efforts still being
made in this direction. A by-law was
passed this week appointing Engineer
Cunningham as acting city engineer.
Nothing definite has transpired :relative
to Mr. Jennings' elevation to Engineer
Feeley's late office at Ottawa.
UPROARIOUS STUDENTS.
Students are not sentimental, at least
if the opposite sex be omitted from the
equation. That t ey vie* it with obli-
que vision is mani est from their doings
at the Convocation on Monday, which
also will be known as "Restoration
Day" at Toronto University. Sir•Daniel
Wilson, the president, the Hon. Edward
Blake, who is the chancellor, and the
Hon. Mr. Ross, Minister for Ontario,
essayed to speak with a host of minor
lights and met with no unqualified suc-
cess. This was because tbe students,
after smashing the doors to gain entrance,
made their presence known to the crovvd-
ed hall by cat -calls, singing, yelling and
an indiscriminate onslaught upon loose
furniture. lo such an extent did this
bedlam grow that the distribution of
prizes did not take place, to the general
disappointment. One statemeut of Sir
Daniel's came through the noise and
made known the fact that, a generous_
friend had donated $5,000 to endow a
chair of natural sciences. -'
—Shortly before midnight on Satur-
day a flash from a dark lantern in Mc-
Lellau's grain store attracted the atten-
tion of Eslie Hodgson, who lives in the
vicinity of the station at . Clandeboye.
An quietly as possible he made his way
to the building, before he could get
sufficiently close to identify the thieves
