One important pro- vision requires each clergymen or oth- er person, before celebrating any mar- riage on or after Aug. 1st, 1896, to pro- yltle himself with a marriage registry book, to be furnished him by the clerk of the'peace, with theclerk's certifi- cate therein, at the expense of the city or county, on application, in which car - taro particulars of each marriage are to be entered and to be signed by him and by the bride andgroom, and at least two adult witnesses, These regis- ters are to be the property of the de- nomination to which the clergyman or other officiating person belongs at the time he receives the register from the clerk of the peace, and if he is in charge of a particular congregation the regis- ter will belong to the trustees or bishop or church society, or other body in which the property of the church used by the congregation is vested. The act prohibits marriage between 10 p en. and t3 a,m., and also the issue of lie- enses and certificates between 11 p m. and 6 a.m., unless in either case excep- tional circumstances are proved to a ex- ist rendering it advisable, The persons being men authorized to solemnize marriages are (1) The duly ordained or appointed ministers and. clergyman of every church and relig- ious denomination. (2) Any elder, evangelist, or missionary or any church or congregation of the people commonly known congregationally as the "Congregations of God" or "of Christ," who from time to time is chos- en for the purpose of solemnization of marriages. (3) Any duly appointed commissioner or staff officer of the Sal- vation Army chosen or commanded by that society to solemnize marriages. Marriages solemnized according to the rites, usuages and customs of the Society of Friends, usually called Quakers, are also valid, and the duties as to registry are cast upon the secre- tary of the society or;of the meeting at which the marriage is solemnized. Marriages cannot be solemnized un less after publication of banns on a Sunday in the church or churches authorized by the pastors or under a license or a certificate issued by an issuer of marriage licenses. Hithertoo the bridegroom alone has been in the habit of taking out a license, but under the new law, the bride must also attend before the license issuer, or get him to go and see her, when she must make the necess- ary affidavit, �r the licenseivcannott issue. Where either of the parties (not be- ing a. widower or widow) is under 18 years the consent of the father, if liv- ing, or, if he is dead, the mother's consent, or, if both be dead, the con- sent of the guardian, if any must be obtained and produced and proved, be- fore a license can issue. If there is no guardian, the license issuer may, on being satisfied as to the facts, issue the license, and he may also do so if the parents or surviving parent reside out of the province and the person under 18 years is, and has been for the preceeding twelve months, a resie dent of this province. Marriage of anyone under 14 years, or anyone who is an idiot or insane is forbidden. As a consequence of this new law, it is believed that there will be fewer runaway or ill-considered marriages, and the unscrupulous adventurer will also be unable to mislead either mar- riage license issuer or clergymen. morning by a tree that he was chop ping falling on him. ,........-....... -- s Drained While Bathing 1 Wheatley, Ont.

Annie anda neighbor girl friend were riding the horses home from the field, when the animals took fright and ran away. The friend jumped'safely, but the other girl in falling became entangled in the harness, and the horse dashed about the field, dragging the poor girl over the rough ground for nearly a mile. She only lived a few minutes after be. ing released, and while she was badly bruised about the head, not a bone was broken. Of the new Dominion Cabinet, five are from Ontario, seven from Quebec, two from Nova Scotia, one from New Brunswick and one from P. E. I.

Gerald, the 5 -pear old son of Major W. A. Wilkes, of Brantford, met with a painful accident on Sunday eveniut The little fellow was swinging in a hammock, and fell out. The main bone of the arm was fractured just below the shoulder. The break is a very serious one. William, the eldest son of Archibald A, Campbell, north of Cowal, was play- ing with a bicycle, making the wheel. go round. His right hand became caught between the sprocket wheel and the chain, cutting three fingers .com- pletely off. His injuries were attended to and he is getting along nicely. Mr. A. W. Prestine, a carpenter, of Hespeler, was killed on the Galt, Pres ton & Hespeler Street Railway, near Ferguson & Pattinson's mill, Preston, Saturday.

Cole, merchant, met with a serious accident. He was watch lug a binder in a field near Rodney, and accidentally rode into a ditch.

Chainpagee lost a portion of his hand by allowing it to get too close to a saw, and then. Gilbert Gilbeau had the third finger of his left hand cut off with a saw, and the remainder of the hand badly mangled. The Army Worm As the terrible army worm has made its appearance in Western Ontario, the methods employed successfully to des troy them in the United States should be made known and practiced here. The pest generally first appears in meadows and pastures, and if discover- ed here it can be checked by digging a ditch around the field, and the worms will fall into the ditches, and are un- able to crawl out. If the pest has com- menced to spread, the best method is to surround the fields in the line of march with a ditch, the same as to prevent their spreading. At intervals in this ditch holes are dug, and the worms, crawling along the bottom of the ditch fall into these holes. In this way bush- els of these army worms hays been col- lected and destroyed. Where practic- able,,as in the case of corn fields, the plants pay be sprayed with a strong Paris green mixture, and the pest checked in this way. If an army of worms has already attacked a field it is usually impossible to save it, but the worms may be prevented from spread- ing further. The importance of know- ing what to do, and doing it, may be estimated from the fact that when such an army of caterpillars is on the march it will often consume an acre of corn. or other crop in one day. Nature her- self is now aiding in the destruction of this pest,for most of the worms this year have on their back small white eggs, from which batch small white maggots, which furrow into the worms and sap their life. - The worms, not liv ing long enough to become moths, can leave no eggs, and so nature will in time exterminate them herself, A Child Killed by a Train Seaforth, Ont,, July l7th.—While an excursion train from south Huron was proceeding to the Guelph Model Farm this morning a little three-year-old child of Richard Barry who was sitting on the track, was struck and instantly killed by the train about one mile east of here. The child's father was on the train, and did not know of the fatality until communicated with by telegraph on his arrival at Guelph. tion is well deserved. There remains to be decided the ques- tion of the Speakership, rendered vacant by Mr. Balfour's elevation. For this honor there are two contestants, between. On Sunday Albert Fisher, of Terrace Hill, a bright young lad of 17 years, was seized with a cramp while in swim- ming in the Honesdale Canal, and was drownnd before the eyes of several frightened companions. One of them named Smith, made a frantic attempt to save Fisher. but without success. All the lads had been in swimming, and had come out again, with the ex- the Crown counsel, moved for sentence, caption of Fisher. One of the lads threw but his Lordship said , he would defer a hat in the water, and Fisher was passing sentence until a later period dui - going after it when seized with the ing the sittings. cramps. HOT WEATHER BLUES TUE NEW PRr.MIER OP ONTARIO.. whom the choice will probably rest, Mr. J, R. Stratton, of Peterborough, had strong claims on the Cabinet position, and he has been disappointed. The run- ning was between Mr. Balfour, Mr. Davis, and himself. The other two have been satisfied, and it is only fair to sup- pose that he will come in for the one re- maining piton. .But he has a strong op- ponent in the person of Mr. 1 vauturel, the member for Prescott, who, by the strength which he has displayed in the Le ;islature,has established a claim which cannot be lightly ignored. Therefore, Mr. Stratton has another lion to face before he receives the reward to which he con- siders himself entitled. There will be no hurry on the part of the Government in making known its choice of a Speaker, as there is no necessity for an immediate decision. In the meantime the reorgani- zation of the Government will be com- pleted at noon on Tuesday next, when Mr. Balfour will bo sworn in as Pro- vincial Secretary. Lieut. -Col. Gibson will take the oath 'of office as Commissioner of Crown Lands, and Mr. E. J. Davis will be sworn in as a Member of the Cabinet without portfolio. Mr. Hardy,the new Premier, has made a most favorable impression both upon the members of the Civil Service and upon those who have been brought into contact with him upon public affairs. He is accessible at all times to those who have business with him, and has shown himself willing to listen courteously to his callers, and to do what he could to advance their interests. WILFUL MURDER. Christian }tenser' Found Guilty of the Slaying of James Mullen—Sentence De- ferred by the Judge. Parry Sound, July 17.—At rho .assizes here yesterday, before Mr. Tustice Fergu- son, Christian Hansen was convicted of the murder of James Mullin, near Se- guin Falls, on the 11th of June last. The evidence was much the same as at the coroner s inquest and before the magistrates. The prisoner and the deceased were seen together on the after- noon of the 10th by several persons, and in the evening were lest seen in the °vicinity of the barn in which the deceased was found. The prisoner was seen the next day about eight miles from Seguin Falls, and was arrested on the Monday following at Rose Point in a deserted railroad camp, and a number of articles, the property of the deceased, were found upon him. At the trial the defense at- tempted to set up a plea of insanity, but the evidence in support of this was very slight. The jury returned a verdict of guilty at 0.15 in the evening.
