Clerk. of 'the Peace and b. 0. A. County . of Huron
Scene In Court.
it is not often a conutyjudge finds a uch
merriment arising out of a case in the' Divi
cion Court, as diel Judge 'Lizars at Lista-
well, the other day. Mr. D. D. Campbell,
merchant, sued Mr. Charles Edmondson fora•
bill of goods, purchased by. his wife at various
times after he (Edmondson) had advertised
that no one wasto give anyone goods on ac-
count, without his written order, The de-
fendant contended that his wife was extrava-
gant, that Mr, Gamppbell•and others had been
conspiring to make Blinn what he was—a poor,
down -trodden fellow, ground down to earth
with burdens too heavy to be borne. What
afforded an almost infinite fund of amusement,
both to the judge and court Was his . perais-
tenee in examining all the witnesses, -of whotn
Ino had dome nine, himself, ashing questiaus
with a view to establishing a reputation for
himself of being willing to, support his family,
and all the. while bringing out 'statemci?ts
from the witnesses , the mast damaging to
himself and his ease. .And hlthough many of
the questions were most irrelevant to the case,
and such as vrould under ordinary circum-
stances have caused the judge to suddenly sit,
an him, be allowed the fun to run on on :for
about an hour. Put tho dolt/tinging point,
and one which .convulsed' the • whole court
with roars of laughter, came after HisIroner
had given judgment against defendant for the
'in amount, and told hirg toleavo the plat-
form, when he produced a large I3i.b;e, and
opening it at the 3rd. chapter of 2nd Timothy,'
began to rend the judge a lecture : • ,, This
kuow also, that in the last days .perilous
times shall come, 'dor men shall bo lovers of
their own selves, covotons, &e. For of this :
sort are they which .creep ,into houses and
lead captive silica women, &e," 1t is hard to
say how long .the fellow would have gone on,
ar what sort of an application lie wouldhave
made of the Scripture had he bail left to ran
ou, but tho irreverent bai]iffprocecdedtohelp
him off the platform, not, however, before all
the attendants at court felt that they had got
ten times as much real amusement for nosh•
ing as they would have paid 50 cents for at tin
ordinary cereus. The same genius has since.
aupplemented his escapade at court by issuing
a challenge to Mr.-Campbell,,of which be has
taken the trouble to write about a dozen er
more copies, posting them up on the telegraph
poles around town. Ile challenges limn to
prove certain ebonies against him within one
month, or forever hold hitt peace.
The New Governor-General'' of Canada.

this fortunate young main which should not
be omitted in any .impartt ,,estimate of his
character, ^ Be has a clean social record.
the ldk]ty of the times in• regard to " wine
and women" have left -no blemish on his
name..: Whether it was his earnest views ° of
Life that made him unpopular 'with 'the gay
friends and companions of the Prince of
'Wales, or some t' piggishness"•inhie manner,
I cannot say, but he has held himself aloof
from what may be called society. dissipation.'
In the present condition of things, it should
speak volumes in -favor of tho manly earnest-•=
nese of the Queen's son•in-law that lie has.
lived his short court life outside the circle
Which" has ctonit• so much:.to discredit • the
Prince of Wales and the -Duke of .Edinburgh.
Not that the Marquis is 'popular, but I sus-
pect he has suffered from the personal cliafa:
vor'in which his fattier, the Duke of Argyll is
held. His Grace's maunor has .the arrogance
of Jeamss de la niche, with the insolent os-
tentation of a vain aristocrat. The Marquis is
free from this protentiousness, and in a manner
and disposition) it is said, resembles his moa
tiler, who was greatly beloved by„'all who

posed lady, and Candida may consider itself
lucky' thatit is her temper, anti not hit'fa•
tiler's, Mutt the Alarquis of Lorne inherits ;
though, I suspect-, Lord BeaconsOold would.
never have promoted him to such state if he
had been less like Lady Argyll and more like
the present pompous head of the famous Clan
Campbell.A Liberal, like his father, of pro.
pounced views, the Marquis of Lorne 4idnot,
however, agree with Messrs. Gladstone,
Bright and Jonkius, an the eastern question.
no was in favor of a broader and more con-
servative treatment of British interests. In
this respect he was at ono with the court
party and there is every r°easoa to believe
that he was thoroughly sincere in standing,
on this occasion, octside his father's platform..
There are those who • credit this anti -Liberal
attitude to ” native discretion," but sobriety
of the -young statesman's character, his nate-

Ii ting air Air of t'robal,llftr,. '
Rev. Dr. T. T. Eaton, of this city,
has in his possession a photograph of a
cat hovering a brood of chickens, .the
story of which is as follows " A hen,
after hatching out a brood of chickens,
sickened and died, ,leaving the chickens
•in a helpless.and"forlornstate, • An old
eat on the premises seeing their condi,.
tion; had pity on them„fond decided to
take careof them. They however, de-
dined . to listen to her overtures, and
ran Whenever, she approached, ' In vain
11ie-paired,and purred, and used all her.
eat vocabulary to assure them of the
purity of her Motives: At hist she
scratched in the ground; and bringing
out a'worm and outlying it ns near, the
chickens as they would allow her to; ap-
proach, laid it down and withdrew.
Presently one oftbeni saw` it arid, ran to.
pick it,up. The cat repeated the . ex-
periment till the chickens, gaining con-
fidence, would run to her whenever they
saw' .her scratching . in the ground,
Thug they •canie to follow her, and she
fed them.. -When night came their. in-
stinct tattght there tO get under the cat
for shelter, andao she hovered them as
best she could ev'erynightan'd fed' them
every day. The affair was so strange
that the facie of it went abroad, and a
great many,peoplo came to .see that cat.
An artist took his apparatus to the place,
and just as the chickens gathered under
their feline step -mother for thenight
he took their photograph, a copy of
which we saw. There the chickens are
as contentedly. gathered tinder the cat
as Aver a brood under a hen. There too,.
is the cat, seemingly conscious of her
inability to do th- occasion fell justice;
but, -with . lode a lodk of 'motilierl benevo-
lence) she was doing her. best to meet
the responsibilities she had assented.

Scene In Court.
it is not often a conutyjudge finds a uch
merriment arising out of a case in the' Divi
cion Court, as diel Judge 'Lizars at Lista-
well, the other day. Mr. D. D. Campbell,
merchant, sued Mr. Charles Edmondson fora•
bill of goods, purchased by. his wife at various
times after he (Edmondson) had advertised
that no one wasto give anyone goods on ac-
count, without his written order, The de-
fendant contended that his wife was extrava-
gant, that Mr, Gamppbell•and others had been
conspiring to make Blinn what he was—a poor,
down -trodden fellow, ground down to earth
with burdens too heavy to be borne. What
afforded an almost infinite fund of amusement,
both to the judge and court Was his . perais-
tenee in examining all the witnesses, -of whotn
Ino had dome nine, himself, ashing questiaus
with a view to establishing a reputation for
himself of being willing to, support his family,
and all the. while bringing out 'statemci?ts
from the witnesses , the mast damaging to
himself and his ease. .And hlthough many of
the questions were most irrelevant to the case,
and such as vrould under ordinary circum-
stances have caused the judge to suddenly sit,
an him, be allowed the fun to run on on :for
about an hour. Put tho dolt/tinging point,
and one which .convulsed' the • whole court
with roars of laughter, came after HisIroner
had given judgment against defendant for the
'in amount, and told hirg toleavo the plat-
form, when he produced a large I3i.b;e, and
opening it at the 3rd. chapter of 2nd Timothy,'
began to rend the judge a lecture : • ,, This
kuow also, that in the last days .perilous
times shall come, 'dor men shall bo lovers of
their own selves, covotons, &e. For of this :
sort are they which .creep ,into houses and
lead captive silica women, &e," 1t is hard to
say how long .the fellow would have gone on,
ar what sort of an application lie wouldhave
made of the Scripture had he bail left to ran
ou, but tho irreverent bai]iffprocecdedtohelp
him off the platform, not, however, before all
the attendants at court felt that they had got
ten times as much real amusement for nosh•
ing as they would have paid 50 cents for at tin
ordinary cereus. The same genius has since.
aupplemented his escapade at court by issuing
a challenge to Mr.-Campbell,,of which be has
taken the trouble to write about a dozen er
more copies, posting them up on the telegraph
poles around town. Ile challenges limn to
prove certain ebonies against him within one
month, or forever hold hitt peace.

the ldk]ty of the times in• regard to " wine
and women" have left -no blemish on his
name..: Whether it was his earnest views ° of
Life that made him unpopular 'with 'the gay
friends and companions of the Prince of
'Wales, or some t' piggishness"•inhie manner,
I cannot say, but he has held himself aloof
from what may be called society. dissipation.'
In the present condition of things, it should
speak volumes in -favor of tho manly earnest-•=
nese of the Queen's son•in-law that lie has.
lived his short court life outside the circle
Which" has ctonit• so much:.to discredit • the
Prince of Wales and the -Duke of .Edinburgh.
Not that the Marquis is 'popular, but I sus-
pect he has suffered from the personal cliafa:
vor'in which his fattier, the Duke of Argyll is
held. His Grace's maunor has .the arrogance
of Jeamss de la niche, with the insolent os-
tentation of a vain aristocrat. The Marquis is
free from this protentiousness, and in a manner
and disposition) it is said, resembles his moa
tiler, who was greatly beloved by„'all who

never have promoted him to such state if he
had been less like Lady Argyll and more like
the present pompous head of the famous Clan
Campbell.A Liberal, like his father, of pro.

however, agree with Messrs. Gladstone,
Bright and Jonkius, an the eastern question.
no was in favor of a broader and more con-
servative treatment of British interests. In
this respect he was at ono with the court
party and there is every r°easoa to believe
that he was thoroughly sincere in standing,
on this occasion, octside his father's platform..

Rev. Dr. T. T. Eaton, of this city,
has in his possession a photograph of a
cat hovering a brood of chickens, .the
story of which is as follows " A hen,
after hatching out a brood of chickens,
sickened and died, ,leaving the chickens
•in a helpless.and"forlornstate, • An old
eat on the premises seeing their condi,.
tion; had pity on them„fond decided to
take careof them. They however, de-
dined . to listen to her overtures, and
ran Whenever, she approached, ' In vain

eat vocabulary to assure them of the
purity of her Motives: At hist she
scratched in the ground; and bringing
out a'worm and outlying it ns near, the
chickens as they would allow her to; ap-
proach, laid it down and withdrew.
Presently one oftbeni saw` it arid, ran to.
pick it,up. The cat repeated the . ex-
periment till the chickens, gaining con-
fidence, would run to her whenever they
saw' .her scratching . in the ground,
Thug they •canie to follow her, and she
fed them.. -When night came their. in-
stinct tattght there tO get under the cat
for shelter, andao she hovered them as
best she could ev'erynightan'd fed' them
every day. The affair was so strange
that the facie of it went abroad, and a
great many,peoplo came to .see that cat.
An artist took his apparatus to the place,
and just as the chickens gathered under
their feline step -mother for thenight
he took their photograph, a copy of
which we saw. There the chickens are
as contentedly. gathered tinder the cat
as Aver a brood under a hen. There too,.
is the cat, seemingly conscious of her

but, -with . lode a lodk of 'motilierl benevo-
lence) she was doing her. best to meet
the responsibilities she had assented.
