Mr. W. M.. Gray, of Seaforth, a few.
months ago purchased 3120,000 worth
of property from M. C. Cameron, M. P.
and Sir Richard Cartwright, M. P. The
property consisted of 18,000 acrea, of

The etch of whitefish and trent has
been good this 54NLOU41. The tug Do-
spatch makes daily trips in tine weather
to the Minns; grounds, some twenty
miles from here, and returns welt -laden
with tine specimens of Lake Huron's
tinny inhabitants. So great Is the de-
mand for these fish lit Detroit that as
high as 14 cents a lb. is told for them,
and the entire catch finds a ready market
there. None of the fish can be secured
here, except by special favor.
The new eouiet can he readily seen
with a pair of good opera glasses. It is
in the constellation of the Dyre, near
Vega. It is now distant, from the earth
160,000,000 miles, but is approaching us
at the rate of 2,000,000 miles every
twenty-four hours. On the 15th of
June it will be only 20,000,000 miles
from the sun, and only 8,000,000 from
the earth. It has an unusually bright
head and a long, straight tail. In June
it will be a magnificent object to the
naked eye.
NOVEL 170(Yr RACE -We are informed
that a most exciting foot race took place
on North Street on Wednesday, about
midnight, between a couple of town
belles. At the word "Go,'
' both of the
fair sprinters wade a goodstart, and the
race promised to be very even, but un-
fortunately the ladies were not in racing
costume, and one of the runners in mak-
ing an attempt to retrain her hat which
was falling off, knocked against her
rival, who was thrown violently os the
ground. No bones were broken, and
we understand that the race will be
again contested.

We notice by the Benton Herber pa-
pers that a strong company has been for -
mei for the purpose of manufacturing
in that town, the Seegmiller Rod Beam
Chilled Plows for the American market,
and the inventor, Mr. S. Seeginiller, of
Goderich, has been appointed manager
for the company. The necessary build-
ings are to be proceeded with at once.
Mr. Seegmiller will still continue to
manufacture these plows at floderich
for the Canadian inarket. We congratu-
late him on his good fortune.4Expositor.
We may add that the works are now
in course of construction from plans nub -
'flitted by Mr. Seegmiller, and that they
will bo in running order by the lit of
May. This, coupled with the fact that
he has been offered the management of
the company shows the value placed up-
on the ability of our level-headed towns-
man. Mr. Seegmiller will be paid a
royalty on each plow made there. The
implement will be the inc at present
m inufactured only in Onderich. This is
a guarantee of the popularity of the
Seegmiller chilled plow on both aides of
the line.

Ikairawoon's Manazusx for March,
just republished by the Leonard Scott
Publishing Co., 41 Barclay Street, New
York, is largely devoted to reviews of
books. "Martin s Horace" is perhaps,
the toes* interesting of these notices, 11.3
it gives a biographical sketch of the
poet, with at many quotations from his
writings that it has the character of a
collection of poems. "Lord Crawford
and the Home of Mar" is more his-
torical in its tone, and in "the story of
Elynu of Mar and the Countess Isabel
explains the cause of the abolishment of
the ancient earldom. Besides these we
have descriptions of four new noiels;
one by a new author, J. H. Shorthouse;
the others by our old friends Henry
James, Jr., Gerard, and Blackmore.
"The Fixed Period" has really come to
an end, and so has the pretty little story
begun last month. "Western Wander-
ins'deseribs some pretty rough tra-
velling from Denting, New Mexico, to
New Orleans, and thence to St. Domin- •
go and the other West Indian islands.
The traveller seems to have been book-
ing out for good positions for settlers.
There is also a short address to John
Bright, in verse, and an account of the
meeting of Parliament.
A TERRIBLE MURDER.
.4 J raInit. Lever Brains BD Sweetheart
with eta Axe --The Murderer Arrested.
Napanee, March 28.-A most terrible
murder was committed in the Tichboine
House barn hare this morning. Mag-
gie Howie, of Marvin, Ernestown town-
ship, while milking, was struck on the
top of the head with an axe, killing her
instantly. The murderer is supposed to
be Michael Lee, of Perth, who has been
hostler at the Tichborne House all win-
ter. The deceased was a kitchen girl,
and, it is rumored, was eagaged to Lee,
but they hail scene difficulty, and it is
supposed Lee, in a tit of jealousy or an-
ger, struck her ou Bid' head with the axe
while she was milking. The deceased
not returning as usual, the cook beoanie
anxious and went in search of her, find-
ing her on the floor quite dead, but still
warm. Lee was caught about two and
a -half miles from here. He was making
his way towards Kingston, alongthe
railroad track through the woods. He
offered very little resistance when he waa
captured, tried to commit suicide, by
falling on the ground and striking his
head against large stones, but was pre-
vented (roil' carrying out his intentions.
His forehead is badly cut and bleeding.
It /teems that Leu had formed a strong
attachment for the eirl, which at first
was reciprocated. They became engag-
ed, nut it seems the girl latterly took a
strong dislike him and broke off the
engagement. Lee pressed his suit,
however, and his manner caused the
girl to fear him. This was the state of
affairs last evening. The deCeased ask-
ed Jane Shaw, the cook, to watch if Lee
carne into the barn, as she wan afraid of
him. She then went into the barn to
milk the cow. Shortly afterwards the
cook went out to see what was keeping
her. She war met at the dour by Lee,
who asked her to keep away, as ho
wanted to speak to Maggio. He then
closed the barn door in the cook's face.
She returned to the house and waited
about fifteen minutes, when she return-
ed, and found deceased lying qnite dead
in the stall, with a fearful gas on the
top of her head, and the axe lying close
by covered with bleed. She at once ran
into the hotel and gave the alarm. When
arreeted Leeacknowledged having struck
the deceased with the ate. and said it
was because he had naked her and she
refused to marry him. Lee had evidently
plotted the crime, as the cow was fasten-
ed in another stall to that which it use -
w ily stands.
