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.. Mayor Be tty and ex-Ald. J. J, With- row, of the Industrial Exhibition has each his admirers. 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 on the cover of a well, when one of the boards tipped up beneath his feet, He dropped. a distance of twenty-six feet when he truck water, which was eleven feet deep The board flew back into its place, pr boy from saw the the wed, had disa later he with the cold. Strange to state, he had presence -of mind enough to grasp a rope which was thrown to him by a young man who Iv as passing at the time. The boyhad a miraculous escape from death. I —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 south hail of lot 8, concession 10, Cara - doe, there was a mortgage of $2,000 on the property, and under the (ease he was tam Vw a year rent.

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. was withdrawn in time to allow the Sun- Roadster Stallion,—Two y day services.

On Friday there must have been fully four thousaild people on the grounds. The admiaioi fee was only '10 cents for adults and 5 cents for children, and the gate receipts amount: ed to about $400, besides sibout 300 members, who received one tidket each.

The 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 .
