home.the Rev, R. H. Shaw and wife
wbohave just returned home from a
three months' sojourn in England and
Ireland, but more especially in Ireland

hood days. The Ladies Aid had pre
pared edibles for a large attendance
and the tables were heavily ladened
with good things and beautifully decor-
ated with flowers, after 9 o'clock, Mr,
John Fox banker who made a model
chairman, introduced Mr L. D. Stanley
in a few well chosen and appropriate
remarks Mr. Stanley read a well word-
ed address of welcome to Rey. Shaw,
which showed the great _popularity he
enjoyed among his c0nregation and
the people of Lucan in general. The
Rev. gentleman on rising in reply in
behalf of himself and wife was cordial-
ly received and remarked that he was
very much pleased to be once more
with his friends in Lucan. During his
visit in the "old sod" he concluded that
Canada was a hundred years in ad-
vance of the mother land especially
in agriculture. Canada he tt+•3ught
was the brighest and fairest country
under the sun. On his arrival at Mon-
treal it was his intention. to surprise
his friends by returning home and
quietly resume his duties, but the news
of his home coming had been sent
ahead and the surprise was the other
way which resulted in the friendly
gathering of welcome before him. His
address was full of kind words and
brought forth much applause.
A program of songs readings and reci•
tations was taken part in by Messrs.
Fred Forte and W. Matheson of Lucan
also Misses Stanley and Hodgins. Com-
plimentary speeches on the character
of the home comer were delivered by

Milloy, principal of the High School;
Mr. W, McMillan, who has been in
charge of the parish during the rector's
absence; Messrs. Matheson and Stanley
also J. Ferguson of Birr.

ments, Miss Fox played the accompani-
ments to the vocal selections in her

the last day of the show, and also re•
fusing to leave the building' after the

was fined $1 and costs. Mr, Clegg, in
giving his decision, pointed out that in
order for the society to carry on their
exhibition, they must have order and
decorum, and that when • the show is
that no one but the members of the so-
ciety who are exlribitittlg have any
right, to remain in the building, and
that all others who remain are tress

LEG BROKEN.—Mr, J. Andrew naa-

away accident on Friday last. He had
attached his team to a load of grain

a quarter of a mile, when he lost his
footing' and feel. off. The wagon passe
ed over him, breaking one legend bad-
ly bruising the other behind the knee
joint. It will be some time before he
recovers.
A good appetite and refreshing sleep

Legal Notes •
The case of Mrs. Clark against S. 1kf
Edwards, Hugh Campbell and the town
of Mitchell was tried at Stratford Iast:
week, instead of Goderich where it was
tried in the winter. Plaiutiff's hus-
band drove iuto a sand pile on the roae1
in Mitchell and was killed, for whit
plaintiff now sues the town. The par-
ties, Campbell and Edwards, were ad-
ded defendants, and the town of Mitch-
ell claims relief .over against them. Ae
soon as the case was opened His Lord-
ship suggested that the parties should
endeavor to settle the case among them-
selves. After two hours' conference
it was agreed that a verdict should be
entered against Mitchell for $S75 with-
out costs, and against Campbell and
Edwards for $725 with costs. Mr Gar
row, Q. C., for plaintiff; Mr. Ayleswortk
for Mitchell; Mr. McPherson for Ed-
wards;
dwards; M. C. Cameron, Q. C., for Camp-
bell.
The case of Halliday ys. the township
of Stanley-, tried at the Lambton assiz-
es last week, resulted in a disagreement
of the jury. It was understood the
jury stood five in favor of the plaintiff
and seven for the township. The ne-
suit is unfortunate for the plaintiff;
Mrs. Halliday, who has undoubtedly
been crippled for life by the fall she re-
ceived. The majority of the jurors,
were however, of opinion that the ac-
cident was not due to any fault of the
township. The evidence of the medf-
cal men examined would rather indi-
cate that the plaintiff's injuries had not
beenproperly treated immediately af-
ter the accident, and that the perman-
ent crippling was due more to that face;
than to the nature of the injury.
