That energetic implement man, Mr. W.G. Somerville, has “taken unto himself a partner” Mr. C.

The question of a site for a central public school is being agitated. The bridge may be taken as the centre of the town as to population, and a site very close to the bridge would cost heavily, as a considerable quantity of land would be required. If considered efficiently central, the third ward school premises would offer the most feasible conditions, as the school board already owns the site, an acre, we believe, fronting on three streets. This would reduce the cost of the proposed change by probably one-half, an item worthy of the most serious consideration.

The gaol committee met Inspector O’Reilly on Wednesday at Welland, when the matter of securing new homes for gaoler and turnkey was talked over. The committee have several propositions under consideration, one of which is the erection of a double house on the northwest corner of court house grounds to accommodate both officers’ families; – it is practically settled however, that a residence for the turnkey will, at least, be built on this spot. Another proposition is to remove a portion of the gaol wall and erect the gaoler’s residence at the southeast corner of the courthouse-next to the registry office. Still another idea is to purchase the premises now owned by W.J. Best, in rear of registry office, and use that as a home for the gaoler-in case Mr. Best will accept a reasonable figure for the same. Failing in this purchase, the committee might buy some other adjacent property for the purchase. When some definite plan has been settled upon, a sketch of proposed improvements will be submitted to the inspector for approval.

Mr. C Swayze is remodelling his store premises on North Main street. The front windows are to be lowered about eighteen inches and set with large panes of glass; the verandah removed, and the Main street front neatly painted. It will soon take a man with “an heye like an beagle” to find a verandah on our main streets which signifies that we live in a go-ahead town.

The annual banquet given by Messrs. McLaren & Co., the great dry goods merchants of St. Catharines, eventuated at the Welland house in that city on Monday evening. Covers were laid for about forty, the banquet table being heavily freighted with the good things of this life. The literary and musical feast was also thoroughly enjoyed. Added to these pleasant features; the generous firm declared a dividend (payable on the spot) to their employees, and upon opening an envelope each found therein a substantial sum of money-a share of the profits for the year set aside and divided up pro rata. The firm of McLaren & Co., is one of the most prosperous in Ontario. May their shadow never grow less.

We are sorry to learn that Mr. M.S. Bradt has decided to move his canning business from town. He returns to Niagara Falls, where his factory has been granted exemption from taxes for a term of years. He is now erecting a building there for the manufacture of tin cans, and should he not sell the rink building here, he will, we understand, take it down and utilize the material in erecting the factory at the Falls.

THE proposed new railroad between Hamilton and Buffalo will, it is contemplated, cross Welland river just west of the water works pump house with a depot near the English church parsonage. If the project materializes, the town will be asked for a bonus to assist in building the road, with the guarantee that the round house and car-shops be located here. Welland is well situated for headquarters of this nature, as rails and materials of all kinds could be placed on the spot by way of both land and water. There would be two railway stations in Pelham –one near Pelham Corners (one mile from Fonthill) and another at or near Fenwick.
