New Election Law.
'rhe Provincial law as it now stands
says that any person is guilty of brib-
ery and liable to a tine of $1(0, and im-
prisonment for six months, who gives
or promises money, employment, gift
or loan to any voter for voting, or re-
fraining flout voting. The varve pen-
alties attach for the offence of accept-
ing or applying, either before or after
the election, for consideration for vot-
ing. Candidates may not provide re-
freshments at anv public meeting, on
pain of a tine of *100. The same ep-
pplies to other persons. although re-
freshments may be provided by the
hest at a meeting held in a private
house. Treating snakes a candidate
or his agent liable to a fine of $.'.00. it.
is not a sufficient defence that a per-
son charged with the corrupt practice
bas been in the habit of treating. I3et•
ting, in order to influence an election,
is an offence, as is also hiring of con-
veyances by the candidate or his
agents, and the supplying of transpor-
tation to the voters to the polls. Per-
sons providing conveyances for con-
sideration are also guilty of a corrupt
act.

central day of the period. Change to

The bright evening star in the west-
ern sky is the planet Venus. Her great-
est brilliancy will be on May 20, after
which her brightness will decrease
slowly at first, then very rapidly. At
present there is not the slightest diffi-
culty in seeing the shadows cast by her
light. It is perfectly easy, in fact,' to
see Venus in broad daylight, so bright
does she shine.
Several large carp have been caught
this week by local fishermen in Haytownship on the flats, near what is
known as Howard's bridge. They
came up in the Hood time and got shut
up in en isolated pond, The water
being shallow, they were killed with
sticks. There is a difference of opin-
ion as to the value of the fish as fond.
Their weights ranged from 0 to 11 lbs.
Tellers of bank branches have been
notified from the head office of their
respective banks, of a new issue of a
counterfeit $10 note of the Farmers'
Bank of Canada, which was in circula-
tion. The fact, that the highest num-
her borne by any genuine $10 note of
the Farmers' Bank of Canada in cir-
culation is 3,750, afforded an easy
method of detecting the counterfeit
bills.
