By act of the Dominion Parliament,
passed last session, there have been
some important changes made as to ar-
resting without a warrant. Now a
peace officer may arrest without a
warrant any one whom he finds com-
mitting any criminal offence, and any
person may arrest without a warrant
any one whom he finds committing a
criminal offenee by night, The owner
of any property on or with respect to
which any person is found committing
any offence, or any person authorized
by such owner, may arrest without a
warrant the person so found, who shall
forthwith be taken before a justice of
the peace to be dealt with according to
law. Two justices of the peace have
power, when sitting together, to try
persons for theft, obtaining money or
property by false pretences, or unlaw-
fully receiving stolen property, when
the value of the property alleged to
have beeu stolen, obtained or received
does not in the judgment of the magis
trate exceed $10

Death of kieptimns llogarth.
It will be sad news to many to learn
of the death of an old: and well known
resident of Stephen, in the person of
Septirnus [Iogarth, who died at the far
ily residence, 2nd concession of Stephen
on Tuesday last, at the age of 70 years,
8 months and 20 days. Mr. Hogarth
was widely known and much respected
for his good qualities. He was a man
of more than ordinary intelligence and
was especially interested in matters po-
litically, being an enthusiastic Liberal.
He always took an active part in mun-
icipal affairs, and was once elected
Reeve of the township in which he
lived. Deceased was always a healthy
and robust man and scarcely knew
what a day's sickness was until about
a month previous to his death when he
was taken slightly ill. Nothing ser-
ious was regarded of his condition un-
til about two weeks ago, when it was
ascertained that he was suffering from
congestion of the lungs. He then took
his bed and gradually grew worse un-
til
ntil death relieved him of his sufferi.nge.
By his friends, as well as by the widow,
five sons and two daughters, by whom
he is survived, his loss is deeply
mourned, although he had reached the
alloted time of life. His remains will
he interred in the Exeter cemetery on
Friday.
