Malloch -The death of D. MacGregor Malloch, In- spector of Public Schools for North Huron, occurred at Clinton on Monday morning last. The immediate cause of dealt was apoplexy. Mr Malloch was born in Renfrew county 56 years ago. He taught school in various pares of the Province. He had occupied thakmeitioo of Public School Inspector for North Huron for 'boot am years, previous to which he had been principal of Clin- ton publio school tor about 16 years. Deoeuted was a very scholarly man sod was highly esteemed by all who knew him. A number of friends from Gods- rioli and meteben of the local Masonic lodge, to which order the deceased be- longed, attended his funeral at Clinton on Wedneeday afternoon.

Acti oi to recover moneys alleged to have been literally exacted from the plaiutitle for taxes, and for datnagto fur then:seas end illegal distress The learned judge finds that the plaintiffs did not give make to the eerk of the municipality before 1st March, 1884, under R S 0., 1877, ch. 206, sec. 31, so as to be able to claim exemption from Public school rates for that year, and tbat the ootios which they gave to May did not comply with secs. 19-21 of the same Act, and holds that by sec. 34 they are liable for the Public achool rates for the new schoolhouse undertaken and built before the 6eparet• school was established, referring to Free v. Mc- Hugh, 24 C. P.13. The plaintiffs also eunotoded that the whole municipal tax for 1887 waa illegal, because the by-law levying it, which was passed by the council on tte 26th September, 1487, was not sealed until January, 1888, after the new council was sleeted, and had met and taken the cath of Whoa, and no by - taw was ever passed to contirm or ratify it, or to authorize the affieing of the seal.

No intel- ligent man could listen to Mr Garrow without being convinced of the honesty of his arguments, his evident (airflow in discussion, hie courteous and b000rable treatment of his opponents and his man- ly, straightforward presentation of hit platform, sod the majority of those who listened to him were fully convinoed that he will make an excellent representative for the West Riding of Huron. renew% There was • good meeting at Carlow on Tuesday evening, and the gathering was graced with the presence of quite • number of ladies.

Messrs Garrow and McGillicuddy addres- sed the gathering on the issues ot the day, their speeches being enthusiastic- ally received. The address of bit Gar - row waa particularly effective on the Separate School question, and laid bare many of the fallacies advanced by the Tory stompers. His clear-cut sentences and honest sentiments gained for him the good -will of even those who were opposed to him politically, and when he took his seat at the end ot an hour and thirty-nve minutes,the general opinion was that his election on Juoe (ith would be • credit to the Riding. Mr McGillicuddy dealt briefly with some of the questions which the Tory stompers are dragging into this campaign, and the meeting closed with oheers for Mowat, °arrow sod the Queen.
