Tan Belleville Intelligertar, owned by
the Minister of Custom, thus snubs the
new editor of the Toronto Mail: -"The
Conservative party is not stupid enough
to believe even a tenth part of what the
Nail says about Mr. Blake and either
prominent members of the Reform par-
ty. The Mui/ is injuring its reputation,
even among its own friends."
(TREAT care should he taken by the
Commissioners who have the soperin-,
tendence of the building Litt the slew iron
bridge over the Maitland, so that as lit-
tle inconvenience as possible mu -y be
caused those of the public who have to
use the temporary crossing. We do not
anticipate any overflow of the river or
similar calamity; nevertheless we believe
the crossing should be constructed per-
fectly safe, and the approaches to the
river be made as easy as possible, and
sufficiently wide and safe that the incon-
venience experienced by the public
during the erection of the iron bridge
would be reduced to a minimum.
THE Wetherell clutrirari. which culmi-
nated in the murder of the bridegroom
near Ottawa last week, will probably
have a salutary effect in abolishing the
absurd custom. A man of three) score
and ten marries a woman of two score
and ten, and, the young men of the sec-
tion must, forsooth, have their "fun."
They have it, and it ends in murder.
None of the participants in the charivari
anticipated a fatal termination to their
frolic when it began; nevertheless at the
termination of the affair the bride is a
widow and the bridegroom a corpse.
The law will have to be vindicated; the
guilty parties will be brought to account;
and the lesson wilt once again be taught
evil -doers that pleasure may }•e bought
too dearly.
ON Traseav last, a race occurred down
one of the St. Lawrence rapids between
the steamers Spartan and Rothesay.
The excitement rine so high that the
steamers collided in their efforts to pass.
Happily no casuality resulted, but as
greater calamities hare occurred from
lesser causes, it is to be hoped the dan-
gerous pastime will not be indulged in
again. The days of steamboat racing
are in the dead past, and the travelling
public are not anxious for their resurrec-
tion. Resin and pitch in the fire hole,
and a"nigger un the safety -valve," were
appurtenances to steamboat travel in the
days of Jim Bluduo, but Jim is dead,

THry have a Ministerial Association
in London where the brethren meet to-
gether and discuss matters and things
pertaining to the "cloth." The associ-
ation formerly held open tneeGugs, and
the reporters of the city press attended
and gave reports of the meetings. But
in an evil hour a spirit of rancour and
disquiet was made manifest at one of the
meetings and, regardless .4 the advice
given by Dr. Watts, "let doge delight to

the bounds of propriety, and had a really

THERE were twenty-one applications
mail' the vacancy caused by the retire-
ment of Miss Kay from the position of
third teacher in the Goderich High
School. Certain anomalies occurred in
one or two applications. In one, a lady
of thirty-three summers submitted certi-
ficates highly satisfactory, but some of
which dated back twenty-seven years -
an indication certainly of either an early
development of educational ability, or
an arit.11metical mistakulation regarding
birthday celebrations. Another appli-
cant for 1he position, with B certificate,
was barred by thegentlemanly secretary,
owing to the fact that she had made an
unwarrantable attack upon him by mal-
treating his given name to the extent of
putting two "ts" in "Pet(t)er.' Her
orthography was equally astray in other
respects, as was evidenced in "until',"
"Orrillia," "Simco," d c. The appli-
cant in question stated that she was com-
petent to teach German as well as Eng-
lisk. linear drawing, painting and other
ornamental branches, if required.

Intermediate Exaatalaulan.
At the recent Intermediate and Se-
cond -Class Teachers' Examination, the
total number of condidates who wrote
was about 3,600, and the total num�er
passed, about 1,050, or a little over 29
per cent. Of these 68 took se,ond-class
Grade A. 529 Grade B, and 455 Inter-
mediate standing.
The result shows that either the ex-
amination was a difficult one, or that the
candidates were poorly prepared.
\Ve have been informed that a number
of High Schools in the Province have
failed to pass a single candidate, so that
those who passed from any of the public
schools are entitled to great praise, and

failed, need not be surprised or dis-

We have heard malty opinions ex-
pressed by teachers as to the interpre-
tation of the Ontario School law, regard-
ing the midsummer holidays, the pre-
vailing idea being that where contracts
with teachers did not distinct1q state the
number of weeks, six eoeld be taken.
In S. S. No 9, Brooke, popularly known
as the tea -kettle section, where the
somewhat notorious Stonehouse investi-
gation took place last fall, the contract,
drawn up after the usual form, made no
definite stipulation as to duration of
holidays Miss Hastings, the teacher,
was notified by the trustees to commence
her school at the expiration of four
weeks from the commencement of the
holidays, but having the impression that
six could be taken, she dismissed her
scholars with the statement that school
would not re -open until the lath of
August. The trustee at once determin-

MURDER AT OTTAWA.

dial %$ 1.
One of the most horrible Murders
known in the suruds of Ottawa's history
committed un Thursday morning in
11 tont Sherwood, • southern suburb of
the city. The tragedy was enacted
about two o'clock in the looming, but
nothing was known of the bloody work
until about seven, when
THn DlierloUSJD MGDY
was discovered ou the roadside, just out-
side the city limits, by a fanner on his
way to market The particulars are as
follows: Fur some time past Janata
Wetherell, aged 70 years, a widower,
and Margaret Dougherty. a widow, aged
50, had born keeping company with each
other, the outcome of the intimacy be-
im a matrimonial maim, which was le-
cliwd on Wednesday night at the trai-
nee of a Mrs. Cooper, where rite
widow had been visiting, by the Fay.
Mr. White, Presbyterian minister at
Rocheeten'illt.. When it was ascertain-
ed that the nuptial knot had been tied
the small boys of the place gathered to -
her, and, armed with puts, pans,
horns, etc., catculated to pr.elucedtscor-
dant sounds, began to demonstrate.
They kept up a perfect pandemonium
for mineral hours, after which the leader
confronted the aged bridegroom and de-
manded • dollar. He complied, and
the crowd, after being treated, dispersed
at 9.45. Everything remained quiet for
a while, and the happy couple congratu-
lated themselves on being let off so. easi-
ly. About 10.30, however,a number of
grown up roughs, hearing of the success
of the boys trade a demand for p2. This
was refused, and
THE CHARIVARI BEGAN Lt REAL LaNEag
again, lasting until 2 o'clock in the
morning, during which time stones were
freely thrown. At 2.10 two men suc-
ceeded in getting into the house and
followed the married couple upstairs in-
to their bedroom. A demand was then
trade for some money, which Wetherell
refused. The men then left, hot as
stone -throwing was continued, he ap-
pears to have decided to leave the house,
thinking his presence there was the
means of endangering Mn Cooper's
property. He put on his hat, and tak-
ing up a walking stick, left the house.
That was the last Mrs. Wetherell saw
alive of her husband. His dead body
was discovered about 5 in the morning
by a cow -boy, on the side ref Emily street
just a few yards outside of the city
when the two men forced their way into
the house and to the bedroom, one of
them, named Hugh McMillan, asked
for
TWu DOLLARS ON .EHALF OF THE �'ROWI•,
living they would go if they got it.
Retherall refuse.', but his wife told
McMillan to pay the men and she would
see him paid in the morning. This he
refused to do unless authorized by
Wetherell. The two men then left and
stone -throwing was recommenced. e
stones came crashing through the kite -
en window. Seeing this, Wetherall
remarked it would be better for him to
leave, or they would smash all Mn.
Cooper's property. He then put on his
coat and went out of the back -door. By
this time the crowd had withdrawn,
with the exception of five or six. who
were throwing stones. The next house
to Mrs. Cooper's is occupied by a man
nafhed Peter Potvin. When Retherell
passed he said something t.. Potvin's
family, who wore standing in the door,
to the effect that they should be asham-
ed to encourage the roughs. Potvin
then ran out, and Ars. Wttherv11 states
that he heard him say :
"I'll give him a beating that he won't
get over to a hurry for insulting my
family." or words to that effect. She
went up to Potvin and said,
700 GOD'S RAKE le NT KILL HIM.
If you have anything avainst him wait
till the morning. The five or six men
who had been throwing stones retreated
when Wetherell came out, and he went
down Emily street. Mrs. Wetherall
then felt very anxious, and kept going
out of the house every few minutes to
see if she could see anything ..f her0hus-
mita Mrs. Weaherall states that
band. She says Potvin walked down

t he road in the same direction that h
had taken, cursing at him, and vowing
vengeance. Towards 3 o'clock she saw
a man standing in a vacant lot on the
city side of Emily street, and thinking
it a neighbor named Garland, apppr ach
ed him to endeavor to ascertain if he
had any tiding of her husband. On
catching up to him she discovered it was
not Garland, but Potvin. She returned
to the house, and front time to time
watched him from the kitchen window.
About 3 o'clock she hear{ Potv-in's dour
shut, and looking out saw he had gone into
the house. She had by this time come
to the conclusion that her husband had
gone to his oa n house and would not
return that night.. So she went to bed,
and on getting up early this morn-
ing after an anxious and sleepless
night found her husband lying deal on
the roadside. Mrs. Cooper corroborat-
ed in every detail the story told by
