THE NAUFRAGOIni TYPE. -The Brussels Puet states that Police Magistrate Williams held a court there Tuesday "for -the trial of breeches of the Canada Temperance Act." It is not at all surprising that the court adjourned "to give absent witnesses an opportunity to recuperate." The breeches must be fairly dealt with. A HusTLEn.-H. B. Proudfoot, Provincial Land Surveyor, can do as large an amount of work in a given time aei the next one. In the first four days of last week he drove 136 miles through the town- ships of Colborne, E.

JUST To FILL Ur: -We are always glad to receive items of general interest, but it makes us feel tired When those who hand them in, intimate that they put themselves to the trouble just to help us "fill up." Now any filling up we want to do we are partial to the operation ourselves, and thoroughly compet- ent to "fill up" at least once a week. Kindly inform us of occur- rences but don't kill the kindness by making it a superfluous charity -Brussels Budget. Ho FOR KINTAIL.-A man calling himself J. C. Murphy, of Sault Ste. Marie, was defeated by Evan Lewis in a wrestling match at Madison, 1Vis., and then challenged 1). R. McMillan (Lewis' trainer) to put a 14 lb. stone for $500 a side. The challenge was accepted and Murphy threw it 48 feet, defeating McMillan badly. It subsequently turned out that Murphy was really John Mc- Pherson, of Kintail, Huron county, Ont., the championstone putter, and that he went to Madison under a false name for the purpose of playing the exact game in which he was successful. WHISKEY AT A SALE: - Police Magistrate Noble gave his decision in thecaso in which Joseph Berryhill, a London township farmer, who was having an auction on his premises, was charged by Inspector Williams with passing the whiskey jug among those in attendance in contravention of the Scott Act. The case was tried on the 26th of last month,' the magistrate at that time reserving his decision. His Worship held that the evidence showed that de - fondant did not so much in con- sideration of the, purchase 'of the property give the liquor, but that his motive in so far as it may have been beyond complying with a cus- tomOf having liquor at a sale, was rather to induce the parties to buy. He did not think this was a device -to--get-rid ofet-direct-ealeralthough the motive may have been gain as much as hospitality. He did- not think there was an offence committed ofgiving liquor in consideration of the pbreaseof any other property, within the meanitig of' the Act, and he consequently dismissed the ease. SAYS HE NEEDS RisT.-Mr. M. C. Cameron, .-eseniernber •for West Huron, has a letter in the Goderich Grit organ in which he declines to contest the constituency, even should Mr. Porter be nuseated at the pend- ing protest trial. Mr. Cameron says :-" 1 now find my private affeirs,and professional duties make it impoesible•for me to devote any of my time to public' matters. I also find that the state of my health will not warrant my engaging in 0 poli- tical struggle. Whilte• therefore heartily thanking my many everm personal and political friends in the riding for their past and as- surances of fatnro support, 1 beg to say that under no possible eiecum- stances will I enter political life again, before, it' even at a general eiection." The battle scarred veteran has. been the best or worst, according to the party predilections of the party estimating his.character, • political combatant that over contest- ed West •Huron, or any of the Hurons, and he is eminently de- serviug of a xest. He has caused victory to perch on his banner by the personal and profuse energy which he always disple v141,411(1 by his financial liberality d ig the earn - paign.

Had Mr. Cam- eion followed up what we have been told was his one time inclina- tion -to snpport a protective policy -.even had he come out in favor of law and order in the Riol row, it would have been a- hard matter to have ousted him from hie seat as a member for West Huron. Mr. Cameron, however, is not the only public man who has served his party better than his country and who has had. to suffer the displeasure of the people in consequence.

It is held by good authorities that he is right. Mr. Vunstono has also advised witnesses that they need not testify in certain cases, unless they desirc to do so of 'their o.wu accord. AN ABSURD CUARGE.-The editor of the Seafo. rth Expositor went out of his waYlaitWeekto make an uneall-• ed for attack on the trustees of the Ontario St. Methodist Church.

BUILDINGS AND GOODS EICRNED:--;-- Early Sunday morning the frame store on the N. E. corner of Albert and Ratlenbury Sts,, Owned by Mr. Dineley and occupied 'Jay Ms. Fred Corbett ae a wool and woollen goods store, was burned to the ground with a considerable stock of goods, and books and pepers. Mr. 1)insley's residence adjoining was ills° hurtled, 1is. Dinsley losing her wardrobe and some furnishings'. The buildings were insured for only i'400 and were worth to Mr. ns ley about $225 a Year. Mr. Fred Corbett had $2,000 insur- ance stock. The fire company manned the steamer to good advantage and their efforts coupled with the mild- ness of the night confined the fire to the buildings named. '1'nte1Axo WITH 11K -The Globe says that police Magistrate Van - stone, of • Bruce, collected nearly $1,150 Scutt Act fines in one week. Phis h trifling with 'Air.

RAPID BUILDING -If building in Clinton goes on at the rapid rate it has done the past summer ono will not be able to see the town for houses ere long. The last addition being being a story and a half cot- tage for Mr. Hine on the eastern extension of Rattenbury Street. Where but a couple of weeks ago there ;were only gross and weeds there now projects its pointed gables sky -ward a fine building of which the outside work is about completed. LOOKING OUT Fon TUE FARMERS. -A Government paper says that Mr. Ross, M. P., for Limit., is urging the Government to abolish the Customs regulations, which per- mit the importation of American wheat in hood into Ceuada The grain, he says, is brought into Can- ada in bond to bo ground, and escap- ing' payment of duty in many in- stances, is sold here to. the detri- ment of the wheat producers of Canada, especially the Manitoba and Northwest farmers. SNEAK TIffultw.-A raid was recently made upon Ow premises of Mayor -Whitehead. The sneak thieves had liberal toothsome ideas. They stole thirty ,jars of preserves, But what is food without warmth ? And what is warmth and food if one is to be smothered in smoke? So to get to rid of the latter and enjoy their ill-gotten delicacies the thieves took also, twenty lengths of' stove pipe. AS 11i9 WOVSIlip is, ex. -officio, a member of' the corporatiou charity committee, the thieves should apply to him for a stove and possibly he :night "throw in" a supply of wood. They should interview hire. • • .CoAraeri Ross Auets.---Many of our' readers will remember the spiriting away of Charlie Ross from Philadelphia and the years of id: - successful search for him by his father, . They w ill a Iso remember the Mitchell disaster or Iwo weeks ago in Which one 'Noel Green was killed, his wife seriously injured and his servant killed. Now eome a Stratford paper which alleges that an adopted sou of the Green's is none other than the long lost Charlie Ross. They bring the con- fession . of the injured Mrs. Omelet° support their allegation. It is stated that the Greens came from rhila delphia, and that they have always been reticent about the boy, the husband having CV011 threatened violence to Mrs. Green if she divulged anything concerning 11113. They kept the boy in shell pants until 3 year or se ago, es if to make him appearyeenger than Charlie 1 Ross must be, and there was in his a younger days a resemblance to the c pictures sent about the couutry of the lost. child. The circumstances i under which the confession, as it t might be called-, of Mrs. Green, is o made when her husband is dead, all restraint upon her is removed, and she is herself face to face with ir death, gives at least a strong color n of probability to her sto4. Some ( people also connect the sudden r death of Noel Green with punish- s trent for his supposed share in the v abduction, while his wife is spared 1 that the truth through her may yet e be known and the boy be restored b to his agonized parents. . 44,4,t4,14.
