At Alexandria Bay, the trial of Charles Griffin, who, it is alleged, shot at Adolphus White at Good Templars hall last Friday night, was concluded yesterday before Justice Houghton* About twenty witnesses were sworn for the defense and as many for the people, and some interesting testimony was de veloped. As Griffin failed to prove that he did not fire a revolver at the time al leged, the justice decided to hold him to await the action of the grand'jury which meets in Watertown in Septem ber. Bail was fixed at $300 which was furnished. ELOCUTION AND 'OEATORT. The Sum m er School at Thousand Island The summer session of six weeks of the National School of Elocution and Oratory, of Philadelphia, opened at Thousand Island Park, July 6, When the students are all in the number will reach sixty, forty-seven being present already. The faculty is composed of .five professors, each a specialist in his department. Silas S. Neff, is principal; the names of the other teachers are Mrs. J. W. Shoemaker, John H. Bechtel, George B, Hyngon and D. K. Stany, This instution was founded in Phila- ^.delpeia eighteen years ago, by Prof. J. W. Shoemaker, A. M., and chartered by . the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Among the trustees were the names of John Wanamaker, postmaster-general, Bishop Simpson and ex-Governor Pollock. The school has now in the neighborhood of 800 graduates, repre- sentmg every state and territory in the union, with a great many in Canada, and several in Mexico, England and Australia. About two hundred students are in attendance yearly, The full course occupies two and three years. The system of instruction is the remit of the latest psychological and pedago^cal research and is in inany re spects unlike any other system. The instruction aims to give the stu dent power to express his own ideas in his own words, and to read and recite effectively the thoughts of others. To accomplish these two results the entire man is developed intellectually emotion ally, rationally and physically, and each student allowed and required to express himself actually and according to his own individuality. If satisfacsory ar rangements can be made it is proposed to hold succeeding summer sessions at the Park, at least if the students con tinue to be as much delighted with the place and its management as they now seem to be. The school closes August 14. Students may enter at any time and take a part Or the whole course. The tei^m in Philadelphia opened Oct. 5th. The following is the list of students now pr^ent: A V Morash Lulenbury, Novia Scotia; T G Krook, New Ulm, Minn; Jennie Salinsky, Rochester; Mary J Pierce, Johnsville; C Walter Mac Wil liams, Toronto; Wm H Hess, Gettys- ibuxg', Maiy H Whitson, Philadelphia; iIjQiiisa C.

The angling was excellent along the river yesterday and some i^ c e e d ^ § ' big catches of fish w e re^b|bught the various river pointp At A Monumeut for Sir John. At a special meeting of the Kingston Board of Trade, held last Friday even ing to consider the question of the erec tion of a monument commemorative of the late Sir John Macdonald, it was decided that a monument costing about $25,000 should be erected in what is known as the Tower Park, a piece of land lately presented to the city by the Dominion Government, individual sub scriptions not to exceed $10. The Dominion will be canvassed. Cape Vincent. July. 9.—Several upper lake vessels lay at this port the 4th on account of the storm.—Mrs. William Woolaser died Monday night after a lingering illness. —The Princess Street base ball club, of Kingston, will play the club from this place at the fair grounds the 15th. A good game may b% expected, as the nine from this place has received some new players.—It is reported that the grangers o.f this town will soon open a store here. Then the fun will commence. The mer chants here, cf course, do lots of trading with the farmers by exchanging their goods for the produce of the farms. Now, when the store gets agoing, the farmers will take all their produce to it and expect tOTretail it out to the villag- ers'. Each and eyery merchant here nas his customers and will continue to hold them. The result must be, then, that the grange store will find it a little hard to get rid of all the farm produce bought in. There certainly will be a conflict between the Cape merchants and the grangers sooner or later. The villagers will surely stand by the village mer chants in the fight.—The fire depart ment will go to Brockville the 23rd to attend the tournament at that place. The entire department is expected to go headed by a band. There are over one hundred firemen here and they no doubt will make a fine showing.—The young ladies of the Presbyterian chdreh will hold a festival in the vacant store in the St. Lawrence block Saturday evening. The Agricultural society is hard at work getting ready for the fair to be held on Sept, 1st, 2nd and 3rd. There, will be no bettter fair in northern New York this year.-r-It is reported that E. D.^ Fox, of New York, has purchased the old Crev- olin property at the head of Broadway. -*-A large party was held at Jerome’s hotel Friday evening.—The Catholic picnic advertised for the 4th was post poned on account of the weather. It will probably be held inside of two weeks.—The band, fifteen strong, went to Chaumont the 4th to help that village to celebrate, and although the weather wi>® bad, the j was spent in enjoying the many attractions offered by that vil lage. The band reached I he village on an early train and returned on the last one at night. During the day the band serenaded the business places, and also several of the leading ci tizens. It is the verdipt of every member of the musical organization, that Chaumont enter tained them in the best possible way. The sportsmen of this village have been waiting patiently for the news of the capture of the extra large fish which annually make their appearance at Clayton. They certainly have not been hooked as yet, or the whole world would have received the news. Although the time has expired, the fishermen of this place have kindly allowed Clayton six days of grace. Now, then, Clayton, see what you can do. If nothing k heard from you in six days we will bring some of the old sea -monsti^s to the .surface and advertise them too.—Albert Ingalls, of Washington, D. C., is in town visiting bis sister.—Mrs. C.
