SANDERS, EDITOR, St. Marys: A happy event was cel- ebrated Wednesday et the residence of Mr. and Mrs, Clayton Bearss, on the Fullerton and Blanchard townline, when their :daughter. Miss Louisa Bearss was united in marriage to Mr. George Fletcher. The ceremony was performed by Rev, John Ball of Kirk - ton, in the presence of twenty-five or more invited guests. The bride was very prettily attired in cream Heuriet to serge with pearl trimming and car- ried a baquet of roses and asters. The groom was supported by Mr E Fletch- er, while Miss Vine Chowen assisted the bride. Mitchell: Inspector Coppin has late- ly been making it rather warm for offenders of the liquor law, and several dailars have been added too the treas- ury of the Government. All the pro• seentions oceurred outside of Mitchell, and in ane instance a hotel -keeper and five frequenters of his house, during unlawful hours, wore heavily fined - While landlerda are to blame to some exteut they are not so much at fault as those who ask theta to break the law, and the latter class should be dealt with severely, They know the legal hours for selling, and if they at- tempt to secure liquor outside of thane hours they can blame 00 one but themsei:ves in case of prosecutien. St. Marys : At the home of the bride Weduesday afternoon Miss Grace Routley,`diuiug-room mistress at the Imperial hotel was married to Edward Watt, of Galt. Mr. and Mrs, Watt will live in Galt.

Ailsa Craig: The stock of Isaac; Grossman was boxed up and taken to the station an Saturday last by two strangers who claimed to have bought itfrom Grossman. The latter sudden- ly disappeared a day or two before the stock was packed up. We understand not a few wholesale firms are grieving over his sudden disappearance as notes aggregating several thousands of dal, tars were to fall due on Nov, ist. The two strangers .did not get .the goods away as Station Agent Hodgins re- ceived word from Mr. Belt, the Grand Trunk Solicitor, to hold them. From appearance Grossman was doing a fair business, goods in abundance coming from the wholesale houses weekly. It is now generally believed that a large portion of the goods were re shipped to other quarters, where no doubt they were re -sold for half their value. This is one way of doing business Hensel] : On Tuesday a very happy event took place at the residence of Mrs. Elder, of this village, and former- ly of Tuckersmith, when her daughter, Miss Helen, was married to Mr. And- rew Moir, of Usborne, eldest son of the late Mr. George Moir.

The bride was very handsomely attired in navy blue silk, trimmed with pearls and lace, and wore orange blossoms. Miss Hannah Craig, of this village, the bridesmaid, was very becomingly at- tired in royal blue silk, trimmed with cream satin and ribbons, and also wore orange blossoms. The groom was supported by bis brother, Mr. G. R, Moir, of Quebec city. The bride, who is so well and favorably known, was made the recipient of a number of very valuable and useful presents. We unite with the many friends of the happy couple in wishing them long and continued happiness through life. St. Marys: William Atkinson, a bachelor farmer, who lives about two miles up the Thames road, in Blan- shard, had a very unpleasant visit from two young men from town short- ly after 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The two men in question called at his house and demanded admittance, but being refused, they broke open the door, threw Mr. Atkinson down and struck him in the face. While one of the two held him down the other rifled his pockets and secured 370. While he was still being held down the man who took the money went into another room and eounted it, also taking Mr. Atkinson's hest suit of clothes. They threatened him as they ]eft the house that if he made any outcry he would stiffer.

Goderich, Ont. Oet. 20.—Frederick Beattie was shot this wonting by Wus, Cox in a: quarrel. Dr. Whitley was immediately sent for, but Beattie died within .half an hour after the shooting oceured. Both Olen being to Goderich town- ship, when the shooteng occurred. This morning about ten o'clock Win. Cox left his home and proceeded to the home of his son -in law, Frederick Beatty. On his arrival bo asked Mrs, Beatty for his daughter Lillie's cloth* ing. She told him her husband might beat her if she delivered it up Cox then asked where Beatty was, and on being told dawn in the orchard, he immed- iately went there. The first thing' Beatty said was: a What in the d --- are you doing here?" and on ,bong told, said :—" Now, I have you where I want you," and atruch. hint Cox) twit; or three times in the face. When Cox , managed to get away be said.-- If ' you strike me again, I'll shoot.' Beaty said;--" That's what I want," and pul- ed out his knife and made a jump at Cox. Cox shot him through the eye. When Mrs Beatty heard the report she ran out and Cox told her to go for :lir. Thompson, a neighbor, while he went to Goderich for a doctor. Dr. Whitely immediately accompanied Cox Co Beatty's house, but was too late, he having died about half an hour after being shot. Cox then came back to Goderich and gave himself up. Ho was remanded by Pollee Ma gfstrate Seager till Saturday, when he will come up beim .3 the county judge. Mr. Cox is highly respected by every- body and has the sympathy of all whe know him. Goderich, Ont., Oct. 81. -The Cox Beattie shooting case was up before Police Magistrate Seager and Horace Horton, J. P., on Saturdoty, Several witnesses ware examined, and the court adjourned until te day, when all the other witnesses wet • examined. The evidence was the same as that given at the inquest, with the excep- tion of that of the primmer, whose evi- dence was taken today, and agrees exactly with his statement given be- fore. He gave his testimony freely and did not appear to try to shield himself in any manner. It seems he did not put the revolver in his pocket purposely .on the morning of the trag- edy when starting out for Beattie's, but had it iu his pocket fordaysbefore, thinking. that he could frighten Beattie from coming co his house to take Tilly, his daughter, away. He took this method, knowing that Beatty was a cowardly fellow, and had previously, by his own admission, been frightened in this way, After the evidence was in, Mr. Hold addressed the court in the prisoner's behalf, contending that the magistrate should discharge him, as it was a clear case, he thought, of self-defence. Mr. E. N. Lewis, for the Crown, asked for a commital. The magistrates reserved their deci- sion until Wednesday next at 2 o'clock and in the meantime allowed Cox out on bail—himself in $1000, and W. J. Paisley, of Clinton, and Thos. Cox, prisoner's brother, in $1.000 each. 4111.
