The Jubilee demonstrations that have echoed round the Globe in honor of Victoria were honest and free tributes led by a loving people. There was me compulsion; the man who chosed. to -take a sullen and sombre view of the occasion had perfect liberty to do so. Bet happily no discordant notes mingled with the shouts of exhulta- tons to which patriotism found utter- ance. The demonstrations held every- where served the . useful purpose of awakening in every breast a sense of `file glory of British citizenship end of ale great privileges and advantages net are ours as a race. There have 'd+een other races more brilliant in some aespects, but nowhere is the instinct of self government, and of 'true progress .rnd enlightment, found so highly :developed among the British, As Car :le points out the British have been nailed a stupid and unimaginative race, but "John Bull—his mark" is never- theless writ large and conspicuous over :he whole known earth, This Jubilee celebration, hense, belongs to the race es much as to the Qneeu. Benign and Zlustriou3 as her reigns has been, she :s after all the representative of British laraeteristics. Not only revered and hoved by her subjects because of her ition, but fur her personal goodness and nobility of character. Who when :le: ormed of her call to England's throne, ;conscious of the great and weighty re. :onsibilities which had fallen upon her, sank on her knees and invoked :Divine aid from the King of Kings, whose kind Providence has spared her .'t.Ie to a loving, loyal people these sixty years and in this year, 1597, after an eventful reign, the British heart sings x�lt God Savo the Queen. -VOTES AND COMMENTS. The Buffalo Express gives a list of be lynchings that have taken place in She United States so far this year an cording to its records. Thirty-eight persons have died by this form of vio- lanee since the lst of January. Two were white men and two were women. One was accused of burning a barn, and another of highway robbery. Most of the unfortunate victims were accused cif murder. One had married a white keel. In only eight cases was the crime that one which is commonly :given as Ole justification for lynching. In not a angle case, so far as known, has any member of a lynching party been ar- nested. Some of the men killed by mobs were probably innocent of the grime charged. The Syracuse Post re- marks: "It appears that it will be roma time before the United States can ,ell itself thoroughly civilized. Goderich: Jack Robinson was struck .n the leg by a piece of wood in the or- gan factory and was obliged toy lay off -cork for a few days. Parkhill: Mr. Alfred Bennett was atriken with paralysis on Thursday, the left side and arm being rendered rompletely powerless. Goderich tp: One day recently Robt. Thompson of Taylor's corner had the misfortune to have a horse break its leg while crossing Beachlor's bridge. St. Marys: While 0, F. Whelihan was hitching up a team of horses on Monday he received a kick from one of seem on the chest and right arm which pit through the clothing and into the 9iesh, but very fortunately did not in- liet serious injury. St. Marys: Sad indeed was the death of the young man George Wells, who fill at a barn raising of Mr. J. Clifford, a couple of weeks ago and never re :covered consciousness dying on Wed - =nifty night. The young man was alieut 27 years of age. A NOBLE FAMILY. lllnlar and Well Known in Canada. FIVE PRETTY GIRLS MURDERED IN TOKIO, JAPAN. Victims 11 orribly Mutilated -The Pollee Are Bathed and the Murderer is at Large. San Francisco, Cal., June 17.—Mail advioes from Tokio report a series of murders of the Jack the Ripper olass fn Japan that has stirred one of the chief localities from one to the other. In the first week of May there was a series of inexplicable asrassixtations in one of the most .thickly populated parts of Tokio, in Kande district. There are usually about 80,000 students living in that city. Beginning with May 3rd, three murders were committed in rapid suc- cession in the distriot, the victims being young and good-looking girls. In each case the grins were cut off and the vic- tims mutilated. After the second week this district was patrolled by police in such numbers that another murder should have been impossible, yet, on two successive mornings, the bodies of young girls were found hanging to trees with their arms cut off and similarly disem- boweled, making a total of five oases. At last accounts Tokio was still in dread of the mysterious slayer, and the Japanese police confess themselves baffled. Tokio suffered a somewhat similar visi- tation two years ago, when, within a week, seventeen women were attacked at night in the public streets, The assailant, who proved to be a crank -brained student who had been crossed in love, did not seek to kill his victim. His purpose seemed to be merely to slash their faces with a knife. He was captured in the act of mutilating his seventeenth victim. He was sentenced to fifteen years' imprison- ment. Tar many, many years a very noble ;mily, popular and well known, have conferred great blessings on Canadian acmes, This family to which we refer has served the homes of Canadians faith- fully and well; they have brightened the pathway of many a sad woman when the clouds were dark ; they have esbeered hearts when times were dull lid money scarce ; they have been a 31'essing to thousands of husbands and r"s)ildren, helping them to dress better, so that mothers, fathers and children were enabled to Face the world as hand aornoly . dressed as their wealthier Mends and neighbors. These popular, tried and helpful rriends are the Diamond Dyes, the same ib power, work and usefulness to -day as they were twenty years ago. There are many imitations of these celebrated Diamond Dyes worthless mad dangerous to use, Beware of these 'ileeeptive dyes, as they can never do gond work. When you purchase dyes see that. tri •a name "Diamond" is on every en- velope. With the Diamond Dyes sue mens is always sure and certain. THE FOREST CITY. Dairyman KIlled at a Railway Crossing- General Gascoigne Inspects the Military Carne. London, Ont., June 17.—Robert Bea- man, dairyman, was fatally injured this morning at the Gritnd Trunk crossing al Pottersburg,about three miles east of the airy. The Stratford express, leaving here about 11 o'clock, collided with Heaman's milk wagon, ill which he was seated. The wagon was smashed to pieces, and Neaman was tossed into". the air, and alighted some distance in front of the ]ocoinotive. His left leg lay across the track, and from the knee to the foot was broken .and crushed. He was removed tc the city hospital, and died at three o'clock this afternoon. He leaves a widow and several children. The engine whistle was blown as usual, but as the deceased drove in a covered wagon it is unlikely that he saw or heard the train before it struck him. Gen. Gascoigne and his aide-de-camp, Capt, McLean, will go east this evening, the former having completed his inspec- tion of the military camp on Carling's Heights. This morning Gen, Gasooigne spent a short time among the battalions during the second parade, and afterwards he inspected the books of No. 1 Company, R.R.C.I., and the different corps under canvas. He highly complimented their appearance. Fires were built under the boilers at the new Grand Trunk carshops to -day fox the first time. Full operations will be begun shortly. There is a great demand at the post - office for jubilee stamps. The sale is ex- pected to begin on Saturday. SANFORD IN MEXICO. St. Lawrence `Tragedy. Kingston, Ont., June 19111,—Frank O'Brien, a six-year old Ganauoque lad, was drowned in the river yesterday. Re was playing in a boat with another lad and fell overboard The alarm was not given for some time, and efforts to resuscitate the boy were unavailing, A Boy Badly Crushed. Tilsonburg, June 17.—Wilfred, the 4 year-old son of Wm. McGuire, was badly crushed about the head last even- ing while playing around a lumber pile twenty timbers toppling over and fall- ing on him. The lad was unconscious. for several hours after being extricat- ed. The Defaulting TreasurerorSimcoe County Gone for Good. Barrie, June 17. -It is now believed that County Treasurer Sanford has gone to Mexico. The auditors were at work on the books yesterday afternoon and this morning, and left on the noon train fox the ineeting of the County Council al Orillia, to present a preliminary report, the nature of which they did not make public. A close inspection of the books will, it is believed, reveal a very rotten state of affairs, and will lead to startling results. For instance, the auditors say that the ledger has not an auditor's check mark in it from the time Mr. Sanford took office. The amount of the shortage of course is not known, though it is placed at from $20.000 to $80,000. Among the many rumors afloat is one that no entry has been made in the cash book since May lot, and that there is no account of moneys known to have been received since then. There is an over- draft of several thousand dollars in the bank, but this .might occur with any treasurer, and only increases the financial responsibilities 'of the county. Mr. San - ford's salary was about $1,500 a year, and with perquisites amounted to prob- ably nearly twice that amount. It is said the County Council will wind up his property, which shows a considerable ex- cess of assets over liabilities, but it is not believed that saoh excess will nearly meet the amount of the shortage. A Mosquito Bite. New York, Juno 19.—Carmine Lepre, a bootblack, who lives on First avenue, a few days ago was bitten on the hand by a mosquito. A little welt was left on thehand, which itched. Lepre scratched it until it bled. A few hours afterward the hand beganto swell and continued until it was almost twice its natural size. The swelling extended to the arm, and there were red streaks under the. skin. Lcpre began to experience pain in his hand and arm, and the swelling ex- tended to his breast. Lepre was suffering from blood -poisoning, and it was ar- ranged that an amputation should take place to -day. Last evening Lepre took to his bed and began'.to act as if he were out of his mind. He was transferred to Bellevue Hospital. Want Uniform Mehl ng Regulations. Lockport, N.Y., June 19.—Some time ago the Niagara County Anglers' Club communicated with the Canadian Marine and Fisheries Department, asking that the Canadian laws be modified so as to place American and Canadian fishermen on the Niagara river and the lake near Youngstown on an equal basis. At pres- ent the laws ofboth the United States and Canada operate jointly against Amer- ican fishermen. The club to -day received what purports to bo a final reply from the Canadian department, in which they absolutely refuse to make any change in the fish laws at ,present. The club will now ask the New York State authorities to co-operate with thein in securing Uni- form regulations. Tragedy at Rat .Portage. - Rat Portage, Ont., June 17.—A ter- rible tragedy occurred here last night. In a fit of temporary insanity Harry Brigham walked into his home, pistol in hand and shot his sister-in-law. She was killed instantly. Brigham then turned the weapon on himself and fired with fatal results. Buried Alive in a Culvert. • Cayuga, Ont., June 17.—While Wm. Lenoy, the village road overseer, and Alex.

Barnes, aged 2t, lost his life. The deceased, who was em- ployed as a farm hand by Mr. Leston Pardo, had. gone with two or three com- panions to have a bath in a small pond. Killed While Hunting. • Port Hope, Ont., June 17th,—James Theekson, a young man 20 years of age, of Hope Township, went shooting crows yesterday, and about two hours later was found dead at the edge of the woods, with a bullet wound in his ,left temple. His gun is supposed to have caught in a limb when crossing a log, and accidentally discharged. The corn ner, after an investigation, decided an inquest unnecessary. Struck by Lightning• Tilsonburg, Julie 17th.—The home of J. H. Wilson, public school principal here, was struck by lightning' Tuesday Tha lightning passed down into the dining•room, via the stovepipe, and bursting the door open passed over the dinner table, knocking Mr. Wilson in- sensible, and partly paralyzing him.

Thotnpson Co.'s lumber yard at Muskoka wharf and destroyed about two million feet of lumber Several large firms are in- terested. A.

Heaman was fatally injured, dying at throe o'clock the same after 0000. What may prove a fatality occurred on the bicycle track, Peterborough, Thursday night, when Wm. Cochrane, who was speeding on the track, struck Henry Ferber, the park care -taker, The bicyclist was going at a fast gait, and the caretaker utas stopping to pick up his pipe, which bad fallen, when he was struck with terrific force. The un- fortunate man is suffering from concus- sion of the brain. Squire McIntyre, of con. 4, Lobo township, was robbed of $40 by a tramp who called at his house the other even. ing, and was given a night's lodging. After the squire and his wife arose in the morning and went downstairs, their guest entered their bedroom, and rifled Mr. McIetyrt's trouser pocket. He de- camped while Mr 'McIntyre was milk- ing and Mrs. McIntyre was busily en gaged preparing the morning meal. The four.year-old son of Israel Brub- archer, Elmira, partook of arsenic, which had been placed in some syrup, and which lea's used to poison rats. Mrs. Brubarcher was engaged with house cleaning at the time and. in moving furniture from one place to another happened to place the dish containing the poisoned syrup temporarily on the window sill, where the little fellow got it. An antidote soon brought the young patient out of all danger. A Message From Her Majesty. Ottawa, June 22 —The following explains itself:— "Government House, Ottawa, Ont., June 22, '97.

In a civil shit, a woman at Colberg, Germany,- had to make an affidavit, con- secutively, on 1,200 disputed points. She swore, and swore, and swore, for three long days. The Berlin Echo feels quite sure there must be some mistake in the report that our Edison is writing a novel ; it opines that he is probably constructing some machine which writes novels. England uses about 50,000 glass eyes annually. The glass eye is a great beau- tifier of one -eyed people, and to be par- ticularly recommended to the one -eyed girl who wants to marry. She cau wink beautifully with the glass eye, the eye dealers say. The city of Minden, Germany, is in trouble. Recently somebody stole from the military hospital at that place a num- ber of white mice which had bee if inocu- lated with the germs of various , con- tagious diseases, and nobody eau tell where these dangers may now be lurking. While impoverished United Italy cele- brated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the capture of the city of Rome from the Pepe, the latter received oyer $6Q0,000 in special gifts from the faithful, who de- plore his less of temporal power.

He had promised to marry the young woman, but ulti- mately ltimately refused to do so ; then she killed him. S,he was arrested • and tried for murder. The jury reached a decision in fifteen minutes : "Not guilty." The epidemologist, Dr. Haffkins, re- ports that while before the introduction of inoculation over 13 per: cent. of the population of Calcutta were attacked with chdlera; now, of those vaccinated once 2 per cent. only are attacked, and persons vaccinated twice find themselves wholly proof against the disease.

When a boy I often sported In the waters cool and clear, For our school was in the forest— And the river running near. Were I a landscape painter, It is here I'd try my skill, On a chrome of this valley, And the little Sauble hill, But as I'm not an artist, Now I hope I don't intrude, If the picture I am painting May appear a little rude. For I love trees, hills and valleys, The ri}-er ani the glen, If I can't pant their picture, I can sketch them with my pen.
