High Court. At the non -jury assizes held at God- erioh this week the case of Mrs. Du- charxne, wife of Eli Ducharme, sr., of Drysdale, against Hay Township and John Laporte was heard. Mrs. Du- charme had her arm dislocated last winter by falling out of a cutter and sued for $2000 as damages. The Township showed that they didn't authorize the digging of the ditch, which was cut across the road in the snow by Laporte, and claimed they were not liable. The judge gave plaintiff 5300 damages and $100 costs, the rest of her costs to be paid by her- self, and also gave judgment in favor of the Township against Laporte. Proudfoot, Hays and Blair acted for plaintiff; Cameron & Killoran for La- porte; and Gladnian & Stanbury for the Township.

Hick's Forcasts for June. Rev. Irl R. Hicks, of St. Louis, has issued his forecasts for the approach- ing month of June, extracts from which follows: A reactionary period of dis- turbance is central on the lst and 2nd. clays of June, calling for higher tem- perature falling barometer, increased humidity and progressive storms of wind, rain and thunder from the 1st to about the 3rd. Rising barometer, change to westerly winds,clearing and cooler, will supplant and follow the storm area, the change behind the storms passing eastward across the country from about the 3rd to the 5th. Western extremes will begin to feel the growing influence of the Vulcan storm period as early as the 4th and 5th, . This period is central on the Oth, extending from the4th to the 9th. This period will begin with change to much warmer in western sections,the barom- eter will fall first in the same section, and rising temperature, falling barom- eter and storms of rain, wind and thun- der will march eastwardly across the county from about the 6th to the 9th. The tendency to much lightning in the ev nings and throughout 'the nights, will he very'nnarkecl, even outside of the limits of the regular storm periods. About the 10th and 11.th of June every t e y year our globe passes what may be called a north pole contact with the so- lar equator. As aresult of this peculiar relation of Earth and Sun, the Earth becomes greatly charged with magnet- ism agnetism and electricity, Thunder storms, general and excessive sheet lightning, volcanic disturbances and seismic phe- nomena he- no e a are common m n results of this ma:iznrrm about the 10th and llth and continue in marked force and fieepuen- ey until near the end of the month.

Up- on the head was a bridal veil and orange blossoms, while she carried in her hand a handsome bouquetof roses. The bridesmaid's dress was of fancy muslin, trimmed with medallions and lace while the flower girl and ring bearer was attired iu a white dress and wore sandals, The bride's going- away dress was champagne Ladies' cloth, trimmed' with silver braid and applique, the waist being of cream silk trimmed with lace.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES:-Theeighth anniversary of the Evangelical church -was celebrated on Sunday and was a complete success. Rev. G. Heinmiller„ of Cleveland, Ohio, was the speaker of the day and preached three powerful sermons, to large congregations. At the•after•noon service, which was given in English, the church was filled to the doors. The reverend gentleman is a very fluent speaker in both Languages and has the happy tact to hold the at- tention of his audience throughout the sermon. On Monday evening he de- livered his lecture on "Miracles and Miracles." His lecture was delivered in a very forcible and convincing manner. He used good sound reason- ing in his - address and we feel sure there was a great impression made upon his hearers with regard to the much talked of miraculous healings of the present day. Gamey at Mitchell, The pretty town of Mitchell showed signs of something doing more than 'ordinary on Friday afternoon last,. Shortly after dinner rigs began to pour in from all directions and before night the streets presented an' animat- ed appearance. About 7:30 o'clock the town band struck up a lively air, foI- lowed by several more selections of a like nature, after which they marched to the Opera House, followed by a large crowd all eager to hear the"'far- fa.nied and eloquent speaker, R. R. Maley, "the man from Manitoulin." The hall waspackecl to overflowing and if that edifice was never before taxed to its utmost capacity it was on Fri- day night. Seats for all present was out of the question, while standing room was at a premium. In the gal- lery there was a fashionable attend- ance of ladies, and the best of order' prevailed. On the platform were gathered many of the more prominent members of the Conservative party, including visitors from Stratford, St. Marys, Exeter dad elsewhere. After •a selection from the Band the Chair- man, Dr. Steele, of Tavistock, opened the meeting by a few commendably brief remarks. The first speaker call- ed was Mr. Belcher, of Southampton, who spoke about fifteen minutes on the iniquituous transactions of the Local Legislature and that this great meeting was a cry for popular govern- ment over the foi ces of bribery and corruption in the province. At about 8:30 o'clock Mr. Gamey began to speak and he invested his oft -repeated story with lin interest that did not flag for two and three-quarter hours. That all were ahsor•ired in the discourse was manifested by the fact that during in the eitirn time Scarcely e]� a half �ozen people left the hall, and 'probably a gfin iter of the number present had to stand. In excellent voice throughout; rri:1nv said that they beard him better at the -end than at the beginning of bis address.
