A BEAUTIFUL ADORNMENT.

Our city has the honor of containing at the present moment the most beautiful set of furs ever exhibited in America.  It is to be seen in the window of Messrs. Renfrew & Watkins’s establishment on Oliver Avenue.

It consists of three magnificent black fox skins smooth and lustrous as jet, except for the snowy tips of the brushes.  Two of the pelts go to the neck-piece, while the third—­the most beautiful skin that ever came out of the north in the opinion of these experienced furriers—­makes the muff.

Mr. Renfrew refused to set a value on the furs, but we learn on good authority that they are insured for five thousand dollars.

There are romantic and tragic associations with these furs.  Two of the pelts have been in the possession of Mr. Renfrew for some time.  He held them on speculation until he could obtain a third to complete the set.

This one, the finest of the three, was brought out last August by Ambrose Doane.  This was the skin which almost cost John Gaviller his life, and indirectly induced a rebellion among the Kakisa Indians.  All those who followed the course of the recent trial will remember it.

Upon obtaining the third pelt, Mr. Renfrew sent the three to London to be dressed and made up.  They have just been returned.

A purchaser has already been found for the set.  His name is kept secret, but we are assured that the beautiful furs will remain in this province.

GAVILLER GOES WITH MINOT & DOANE.

An interesting fact leaked out yesterday when it became known that Ambrose Doane had made an offer to John Gaviller to take charge of the new trading-post that Minot & Doane purpose establishing on Great Buffalo Lake.

Mr. Doane could not be found by the Star reporter.  Since the trial he has spent a good deal of his time dodging reporters.  He has a private room at the Athabasca Club which no representative of the press has yet succeeded in locating.

John Gaviller was found at the Royal George Hotel.  He admitted the truth of the report, and seemed very pleased by his new prospects.

“It tells its own story, doesn’t it?” he said.  “I belong to the north.  I have traded up there thirty years, and I will not be any worse trader for what has happened.”

In answer to further questions he only shook his head.  “I talked too much to you fellows the other day,” he said.  “You caught me at a disadvantage.  Nothing more to say.  The arrangements between Ambrose Doane and me concern nobody but ourselves.  I may say, however, that our relations are of the happiest nature.”

THE CULMINATION OF A ROMANCE.

In another column of this paper will be found a notice of the marriage of Ambrose Doane to Miss Colina Gaviller, which took place a week ago to-day at the Chapel of the Redeemer on Jarvis Street.
