y The fightju‘ West Toroiito is likely to lie ‘11 close one. Both sides are now Begging away, and the pros and cons on the N. P., the Bag baby, etc. ,is being horoughly argued. The principal cry against the Policy by the Opposition is on account of the 50 cents duty on coal. .They do not. appear to make much headway with even that. It must beexpected that some taxes are requirâ€" ed, and the duty is as advantag‘kously placed on coal as it-could be on any oth- er‘a‘rlicle. After the duty was put on Coal was cheaper in Toronto than it had been for years, and the recent rise is owing to a combination amongst the dealels. We would not be s11rp1ised to see cool as cheap as eve1 befo1e long Qotton too is being h-cld up as another case where the p001 man is oppiessed. But the poor man is taxed but a few 'cents yearly by the duty on cotton, not enough to feel it. Blake has been speaking on Ryans side and Tilley for Beatty.

Goon YIELD or OATS.-â€"â€"On Thursâ€" day ' evening last we inspected the heaviest crop of grain that We have seen this season on a field belonging to Mr P Crosbv. The field isjust east of his house, and contains about seven acres. The oats were standing in shock, and the sight was a particularly fine one. The shocks were large, and tnll,‘and were stacked throughout the field in very close rows. This. large crop-is solely attributed to thorough cultivation of the ground. Some years ago the yield was very light, and full of Cana} dian thistles. Now there is scarcely a thistle to be found, and that only close to the fences. Some fields, not far from this," are plentifully supplied with thisâ€"‘- tles, and the grain is much less to the acre. . SHARON FEAST.â€"â€"The annual Ilâ€" lumination and Sept.

Amusements of every kind will be indulged in, and good prizes will be awaided to the sunâ€" cessful competitors in the different games Dinner will be served fxom 11.30 to 1 pm. A grand social entainment will be given in the evening. - The best string Band in Ontario has been enâ€" gaged for the occasion. A Brass Band also will be in attendance.

The proceeds to be applied ‘to the building fund of the new Presbytery, Thornhill ,which at present is completed. It IS hoped that each and all will patioâ€" nize the last social festival of the season. CAMPING AT MUD LAKE.â€"Messrs R Pugsley. of Eglington, W Pugsley, A Pugsley, of this village, Mr Pitts, of Toronto, and two friends from Canning- ton, spent a few pleasant days at Mud Lake, and on the Talbot River. some 20 miles north of Cannington. They had an immense time fishing, and shooting, and are quite enamoured with camp life. A BIG DAY.â€"Besides the Grand Union Picnic to beheld in Palmer’s grove, on Wednesday next, we will have the regular cattle fair, and an imporâ€" tant auction sale an Palmer’s Hotel, notice of which will be seen in anotlier column. , ‘ "THE CRIMEAN' WARâ€"There Was not a very large attendance at the lecture announced to be given on Tuesday evening last, by “one of the noble six hundred” in the Grand Central Hall. We had the pleasure of talking to the veteran for a short time, and examining his various medals. Mr lrvine was inâ€" duced to give the recitation “Charge of Light.

The fare is small, only 80 and 40 cents for return tickets to Victoria Park. “ into. the valley of death, into the jaws Ofllell.” When Mr Irvine is reciting this; selectlon, and detailing in his graphic style the way in which the charge was made, it is impossible not to realize the full force and meaning ; of Tennyson’s “Charge of the Light Brigade,” and it; is but very few who would not feel the blood boundinglto their heads, as they heard him describe the wildest and most daring charge ever made on a battleâ€"field. We regret that Mr Irvine did not secure a good house, his lecture alone was certainly worthy ofit, judging from the .way in which this reoitalion was given. Our citizens have missed a rare treat, and may never again have the opportunity of hearing an account of the “ride to death,’ given‘by one who took part in the' ride himself. Out of six hundred men, Mr Irvine and 116 others only escaped ; of these about 25 died from wounds in a , few hours. The remnant has gradually dwindled down to a very small number.7 Mr T Kelly, of Patterson, intends entering “Patterson Boy,” at the New- nmrket races. The horse will be sent to Newmarket for training a week before the races come off. He ought to get a good slice of the money.

GARDEN PARTY.-â€"The garden social, held by the C M Ladies Aid Society, at the residence of Mrs John Sanderson, on Friday eveuihg last, was a very enâ€" joyable and successful affair. A large number 6f visitors were present. The beautiful grounds were well lighted with gas, and presented a most attractive ap- pearance. The gas was manufactured with a Gasoline Machine, by Mr. P. H. Needles, of Toronto. The machine ,was on exhibition during the evening. Mr Needles the proprietor, and Geo S. VVoodrulf, Manager, gave full informaâ€" tion regarding its management, to all who desired such. ' Mr Needles is deâ€" sirous of selling one of these machines lto the trustees of the C M Church, and from what we can learn he 1s likely to ibe successful. After a first cost of about"€l$400,ineluding machine and pipes, the gas can be supplied for some $18 per annum. whereas coal oil Would cost about $30.

Bonn’s LAKE PIC-N10.-~A large number of the young folks from Patter- son and Richmond Hill pie-nicked at Bond’s Lake on Friday afternoon last. Proctor’s twobus'ses were well filled, and anumber of private conveyances were also brought into use There was a huge attendance from Aurora, King, Thornhill, and the neighboring town- ships By long odds ‘this was the most successful pics-mie- in eVery particular held there for many years. There must have been about sixty couple present. The refreshments were of the most ap- petlzing kind, and the” tables presented a truly tempting sight when ready for the picnickers. The dancing platform was made use of very frequently during the afternoon and evening. The boats were also utilized, and a quiet row around the lake enjoyed by those so in- clined. The most perfect arrangements were made by the managing committee, and everything passed off very pleasant- ly indeed. A string band supplied superior music, the members being Prof Collins, A Laird, J Powell. The young folks arrived home about 10 30 in the evening, having enjoyed" themselves very much.

They were wry much pleased With the light, not only {is regards the biilliancy of the light supplied? but also with the easy mariner in which the machines were worked These works are on the automatic principal, and were put in by Phillips of Toronto. A party of young folks from Thorn- hill we believe, passed through here on Tuesday Inorhin;,,2r last on their way to picnic at Bond’s Lake. '1 hey had an open conveyance nicely arched over with evergreens, and hv'vnng an immense flag in the breeze. In the evening they came back, apparently veryhappy, and singing nicely as they drove through the village. LOCAL ' ITEMS. Through the Lakes of Muskoka. (Continued from last week.)' Newmarket and Holland Landing did not offer any special attraction. Brad- fordSeem‘ed lively, and we. welcomed on hoard’lllr Homes. a "“drummer,” for the firm oflt‘itcli'fib’o, G'cneral Grocers. Torai ,on't'dfi. "Ile‘i‘s'onefI‘bf-f those Wholersouled, cherry, genial fellows, who know how to spend pleasant hour or two. He has the reputation of being able to take larger orders than any‘other man on the route, and if he can not place an order. there is .not much use of another "qum-ah tw-‘ug.” The time passed along very pleasantly, There is a. very good country all along the line. At last we came in sight of Barrie. Night was creeping on, and the whole town was, beautifully lighted up. The sight was a particularly fine one. and seen from a pointjust south of Allandale, (which is a village and railway junction adjoining Barrie) this to\Vn would easily be thought a large city. As most of our readers know Barrie is situated on a. beautiful Bay. on Lake Simcoe, running backwards, up a. gentle slope, from the waters edge. in a manner similar to Brockville, on the River St. Lawrence. There are very few places in Canada that can equal this town for beautiful situation, and 1t 15 excelled by none. ‘ Undoubtedly it is the Northern City, and bids fair to become so in reality, ere long, as well as in name. As our friend the drummer, was stopping at Barrie all night. and as we also wanted to see several fellows, we concluded to stop too. The guide took us in tom, and led the way to the Clarkson House, Where Josh, the land- lord gazed in open-mouthed astonishment as we silently proceeded to clear his lunch table of all obstructions. We then took a walk around the town. The main street, Dunlop, was quite crowded with people, and all the stores seemed to be doing a rushing business. The business men} of Barrie know how to arrange their goods in the most attractive form. Many of the stores would he really a credit to places of a much larger size. Our companions were delighted with the number of charming young ladies who passed as in our stroll, and quite seriously proposed to do all our “hollidaying” at Barrie. But we had in- vested $6 in a. 30-day ticket to Lake Ross- eau. and were determined that the Northern would not get ahead of us in that way. if we had to foot it to Orillia. After con- siderable discussion, our friends were inâ€" duced to look at the matter in this light, and we felt so relieved that we called at one ofthe many first-class hotels, and ex- amined their kind of ice-water. We pru- fess to be quite a. connoisseur on pure ice- water, and we can unhesitatingly pronounce flarrie ice to be “the real McKoi,” just as nature makes it,â€"â€"in the Bay. Havim.r settled the superiority of the ice, by close examination, (always by proxy). we felt at liberty to return to our friend Josh, and stay there, too, for the night. Mr Clarkson keeps a good house, and at- tends caretully to the convenience and com- fort of his guests, but all the some he kept our valiscs in thebar, all night, as be over heard us talking about getting up at 3 0’ clock to go fishing. Jush is a decent fel- low, but he hung ,on to the linen ‘dusters, paper collars, and fish worms, as though he was loth to have us go away, in the morning, without bidding lzim good-bye; A GRAND SUMMER \VATERING-PLACE. 1n the morning while it was yet night, about the third hour, 10 and behold we were awakened from a ten or fifteen m1nutes Sleep. and told'to get 'up. if We wanted any fishing. We were determined to have a good time on this little excursion, and as getting up"‘in the morning before Gabriel blew his trumpet,” is considered the correct thing, 1eally it had to be done. We had been dreaming of chasing bears through the untrodden forests of Muskoka, but we found about. this time that the fishing bus- iness was likely to prove fun enough. with. out the bear hunt thrown in. 011 turning out, we found Mr. A. Scott, well known to most of our readers, wanting for us. The party were safely conducted to somebody’s boat house by this pilot. He said it was his, and we were not supposed to know otherwise, But the boat wasa fearfully heavy one, and as there was only one pair ot'oars. the ablest bodied man had to struggle with them. We felt our time had< come, and without any apologies did our duty. When‘ Some half-way across the bay, we fairly hugged ourselves when we thought ofthe “whole heaps of fun” were having. We were so highly amused that we even neglected to splash the water on our Companions more than once in every five strokes. But 011 settling dOWn to work, the muttered imprecations were as plentiful and frequent as even-end we lelt thoroughly happy. When we reached the other side of the Bay, the view of Barrie was 11. very pretty one. The sun was just getting 11p, and all that sort of thing, you know. We didn’t catch any fish, but had the pleasure of swimming around Lake Simcoe for half-an-honr. After lunching offs cigar, the party struck for Josh’s, We always did like rowing, and not wishing to have all the fun, refus- ed to take the ours on the home trip. If any body knows anything nicer in the dog- duys than reclining on the stern of a boat, which is skimming nicely over the wate-r, at 6.30 p. m. propelled by a tiiend 3 strong arms, while u cool refieshing breeze gently t'uns you.â€"â€"then just let us know. We lather like it, to tell the truth. After Visiting several dry-goods establish- ments. Wilkinson’s flour mill, the Simpson brewery and other places of interest, we called at the office of ADVANCE and EXAMIN- ER. The chief editors were out having a tight somewhere, but we had the pleasure of seeing the subs for a few minutes, with- out charge, Both offices appear to be flourishing. We also called on Mr Alex. Scott and Mr Myers. formerly residents of this village, for many years. They appear to be prospering financially and other- wise. While waiting a at the station for the Northern train, we run against Charlie Kyle, another dwum ah, who is fast becoming notorious for the perseverâ€" ance he displaysin securing orders from merchants. When Charlie gets the drop on them. they have either to give it, or Submit to that most fearful of all agonizing deaths. heing talked out of existence. But for all that Charlie is not by any means a bad sort of fellow, and is very popular With his patrons.
