An interesting I.Tsborne case in
which a "Hogg" trifles with a con-
stable's authority and. the affeettons of
two young people. , One day last week-
JosepheHogg took upon himself the
role of constable for the purpose, it ap•
pears of pla,ying a practical joke upon
a verdant young Englishman, Wil
loughby Adams, only 'recently here
from the, old sod. His Hoggship, the
would. be =stable, tack led the young
Englishman where he was ploughing
in the field, commanding him to un-
hitch his horses and Surrender himself
into his hands. Mr. Hoggship produc-
ed papers purporting to be, the legal
documents; and at the same tittle in-
formed Adams that the charge against
him for which he was being arrested
was a breech of promise of marrying,
alleged to have been committeed. by
Adams towards a fait young Us banditti
whom we shall call Miss 3. After con-
siderable parley his Hoggship very
generously undertuok to Cave the mat
ter settled for Adams for the smalls=
of $3 if forthwith paid. Adams not
knowing, the law nor the customs of
Ise country, and thinking possibly
that a bogus charge uf this kind might
be trumped up tgainst him to ,et him
into trouble, vent, foolishly paidthe de-
mand and was released from jurist dur-
ance vile. We Understand that the
fine imposed by his Hoggship wag ap
propriated to liquidate the costs of a
a moek court holden at Woodham the
sante evening'at which mtich fun was
indulged in at expense of the young
Englishman. It now turns out that
the Englishman was no virdant as His
Hoggship supposed, for no sooner had
he paid the $3 than with an English-
man's curiousity,he began to inquire
the why and wherefore of our peculiar
Canadian laws and invested another
dollar in, the.advice of a soliciton The
result being that a geal live constable
was introduced upon the scene. His
Joseph Hoggship will new be taught
that it is a very serioua Matter to act
as an unlawful official or trifle with
the affections of yOUDgpeople in any
way but a legal manner. From last
account Mr. Hoggship is playing hide
-
and go-sdek with the real constable.,
This we presume will be taken into
consideration when he is caught and
brought for trial before court.

Farmers vs Merchants,
Communication.
I may premire that I am not a mer-
chant, nor any of my relatives. I have
uot one'cent invested directly or indi-
rectly ie storekeeping; my judgement
is not swayed with fear of any personal
loss or hope of personal gain, but hav-
ing lived more than half a century in
this world, having travelled consider-
able, read much and mixed with busis
ness men of all professions, and in
mercantile matters my relations with
business men have enabled me to look
behind the scenes, and I must confess
my astonishment that some honest far-
mers do not use their intelligence, but
allow "organizers" to dupe them by
railing, at what they call the monopoly
and oppression of theimerchants. Take
away the fat living from these orga-
nizers of "Patrons of Industry" and the
voic,es of those self sacrificing "benevo.
lent gentleman" be silent' about those
"enormous profits," "crushing com-
bines" of merchants "eginding.the life
out of the farmer by their extortion"
and one -hundred and one et ceteras in
the adjective line, Hunt's Merchants'
Magazine --perhaps the tnost reliable
authority upon the subject -published
a few years ago mercantile statistics
collected for the preceeding 50 years
from the most accurate sotirces iai
America, which showed that out of ev
ery hundred persons engaged in mer-
cantile pursuits, ninety were financi,
all ruined; 5 per cent., that is five out
of each hundred, made a mere living',
and the other half mule an inclepend
mit fortune. And later than this that
mercantile prince, the late Senator
McDonald, of Toronto, than whom a
better ttuthority could not be cited
published an essay in which he places
the successful merchant lower than
the above calculation 21- per cent, I
think. Let any of our intelligeht fat -

Albert Clarke, baggageman on the
London, Huron and Bruce, was drown-
ed. It occurred about 1.30 p. m., and
the body was not recovered for nearly
two hours afterwards. The cause of
the affair is supposed to have been
cramps, as he went down before any
one could reach him. The deceased
has been in the employe of the G T. R.
Company for a considerable time, and
was respected by all who knew him.
The remains were taken to London on
Friday for interment. He leaves a

very strongly, and his honor allowed
the prisoner to go on suspended Sent-
