If thought advisable the operation on ~the other eye may take place at. some future day We are sure that his friends in the Patterson works will gladly welcome his return. He has been an employer of the firm for the past 27 years. It has been decided to give prizes at the end of the year to the Band of Hope.

We congratulate the host and hostess on their ability to en- tertain, and pronounce, in the voice of last night's assembled guests, the Leap Year Party for 1888 a brilliant success. 7.22 6.57 6.55 Ex Last evening. being the 29th of February, which occurs but once in fuur yea-s, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Proctor availed themselves of the opportunity of affording their iriends an evening’s enjoyment, which took the fnrm of u Leap Year Pnrtv. Out of 74 invitations extended 72 guests were present. and these were a most happy admixture of the grave and the gay of both sexes. The regular or. der of things was reversed, the ladies acting the role of the gentlemen, and so well did they perform the duties required of them that they are entitled to all the honor due to eithrr ancient or modern gallants. The ar- rangements were admirable in every part of the house, but the artistic skill of the hos- tess was particularly displayed in the arrang- ing of the magnificent pyramid of flowers which emtossed the piano. The subdued light reflected from many chinese lanterns had a most charming and pleasing effect. The refreshments which varied from the substantial to the most delicate were choice. Almost a Fire. Last Friday two travellers. who might be designated “tramps,” called at the residence of Mr. John Arnold and nsked for money. The person who attended the door informed them she had no money (or them. but would gladly give them provisions if they felt 1 un- gry. This they indignantly declined, saying that money was wuat they had come for. When they left the: house the language made use of proved they were not at all satisfied. And instead of retracing their steps on the well-beaten path.they departed through deep snow. A short time afterwards,e son of Mr. Pawell. Mr. Arnold's tenant, noticed smoke coming from a hay shed near the latter's house. He at once investigated the cause, and found that the hay hml heel] sat on fire. Water and snow were curried at once and 1116 fire was extinguished before any damage \‘ms done. It is thought the pedestrian! took a circuit and paid the shed a visit belore they finally left tue place. 4.â€"Thos. Brown, J. B. Grove, T. Hastings; Div. 5.-â€"Robt. Clark N. E.

About 9.46 p. m. the smul? bull-“ny leading to the rink was crowded by about 30 0f the employee, ladies and gentlemen of Thompson and Son's. Toronto, who had dri- ven out. to have an evening’s enjoyment. A. bout 10 p. m. the president and secretary cleared the ice and allowed the Vlsilurs the full benefit. of it till near 11 p. m. afterwards they retired to Thompson‘s Hotel, and afier purlaking of a sumptuous repast to which ample justice was done the dining hall was cleared and dancing to the sweet. strains of the Dowusview Band was engaged in tvill In) eurly hour who-u all departed {or home vollng mine host and the managers of the rink Jolly good fellows. Ihe management of this rink still retains the good reputation gained last year and bus giVen excellent satisfaction this season. The rink has been open on Tuesday and Satur- day evenings of each week and has been well patronized not withstanding the thoughts of many that the intnrest would flag on a 2nd season's trial. The rink has also become noted for Carnivals. and the last one held on the 14th nlt., proved no exception to the rule. There \veze many beautiful costumes and the characters represented were well sus- The last scene in the Central Prison tra- gedy was act-ad on Tuesday morning when Robert Neil suffered the extreme penalty of the law, for the murder of Guard Rutledge. In looking back at the instances in which death by hanging has been inflicted in To- ronto,wc are reminded of the fact that the first execution was in the year 1807 when a young Irish tailor was hanged for having forged an order for a sum less than 81. We presume that there are few in our village toâ€" dav who can realize that a petty larceny or theft was in those days punished by death. The youth and had training of Neil have bctn very much written about, and n considerable amount of svmpathy excited in his behalf and many eflorts made to have his sentence commuted, but the executive decided that the law must take its course. We remember a case where the criminal was sen-ml yearn Younger than Neil. and where the crime was committed in a drunken tight, the unfortu- nate boy having no knowledge of the affair, when arrested the following day. We refer ‘ to the execution of Wm. Fleming in March 1859. 'lheie have been in all 21 execnlions in Toronto, including the celebrated Louni and Matthews case, and one woman. V The Becveshipof iork. The Queen on the relation of Tavern r v. Willsun came before Mr. Justice Ruse a Osgoode Hall on Tuesday, when Mr. A. H. Marsh, on behalf of the relator. moved ab- solute liis summons to unseat Mr. Arthur ll. Willson as Reeve of the [‘uwnship of York. and Mr. Ayleswnrth showed cause. TIM- ground of attack was that the election was rendered voiu because the people residing in Seaton Village had voted in the J.‘ownship of York after that section had been detached from the township and annexed to the City of Toronto. The proclamation) named the first Monday in January as the day when the change should take effect, and this was also the polling day in all the municipalities throughout the province. Mr. Aylesworth in answer to this contended that the election had been bean before the day named in the proclamation, reckoning the nomination as part of the election. Mr. Justice Rose was inclined to favor this argument, butreserved his decision in order to look very carefully into the laW, as there is no appeal from his dcciswn. The question turns very largely upon the construction of various sections of the Municipal Actâ€"Globe. Entertainment at Kinghorn. The membera 0! Lowell Lodge, I. O. G.
