When the case came to trial it was going against the hotel man, when his lawyer raised the technioality that Huron being a Scott Act county a liquor bill ' could not be collected. Judge Elliot reserved his decision until the other day. In giving judg- ment he expressed the opinion that the statutory defence, if made in time, would have been good. A bill for liquor sold in a Scott Act county could not be collected if this defence was pleaded in time. In the case before him, however, tbe niatter had not been. properly brought up, and he gave Judgment for the vvholssale firm.

Vivo &dm Zino, THVASD4 Y, MARCH 8p THE FISIEEERIE TREATY, All :,and sundry of the Re press continue to find fault the commissioners, on belie Canada for having sacrificed adadian interests in the ma notWithstanding that the true of the treaty has been macleltn At all events, if the treaty is ag Canadian interests, it must decidedly so with the Un States. An independent jou of New York, says "The text of of the convention signed by the commiesioners of United States and Great Britain, to sustain the favorable views of Agreement at first sent forth by Press ; it grants nothing of importa other than the rights possessed by from time immemorial and will p no more satisfactory than the treat 1818." The treaty privileges the U. fishermen only the right to fish high seas, and the American ye els to enter Canadian ports avoid destruction of life and pro erty in cases of distress. B should an American vessel found fishing within the thre mile limit, which clause has n been altered, vessel, cargoes, tac le, provisions and all shall at onc be subject to entire confiscation In the f,case of actual disaster th U. S. fishing vessels may purchas in Canadian ports "for the home ward voyage" provisions an supplies, but not to aid them i the further prosecution of thei enterprises. Under article XV of the treaty any violation of any law of Great Britain, Canada or Newfoundland, relating to the rights of fishing, may be punish- able by penalties summarily in- flicted to the extent of $3 per ton of vessel or more than $r,000 in some cases. A conditional concession of this treaty is that in case the laws of the United States are changed so that absolute free trade in fish is accorded to Canada and New- foundland, then American vessels can purchase supplies, land fish and ship crews in Canadian ports. The profits arising to us from selling American fishermen sup- plies, provisions etc., will more than compensate us for the award- ing to our neighbors the privilege of fishing in our high seas. The treaty is by all means favor- able to Canada, and where the Reform press can find a single clause to the effect that we have made any sacrifices, we would like them to explain.

THE vote on the repeal of the Scott Act in Halton County took place on Thursday last, and result- ed in the repeal ot the Act by a majority of 210 votes. The Globe attributes the result to various causes, principal amongst which the "infamous Dominion Fran- chise Act," on which the vote was taken. We have alivays under stood that the. Dominion Franchise Act was as fair for one as for the other. The Globe claims, that un- der the Dominion Franchise Act there are more voters than under the Ontario system. This was not the objection of the Globe when the Act was being introcluc ed. It with other Reform papers contended that the Act would dis- franchise a great many entitled to the franchise. The Globe proffers sonic very lame excuses. AND the Liberal members haye decided to hold on to Ilfr. Laurier as leader. It is said they were unanimous ; hut notwithstanding the statement, it is an undisguised tact that the Ontario wing or the party were very much disappoint- ed that Sir Richard Cartwright vvas not asked to assume the position, A great deal has been said about the condition Of farniers 11,1 the States and Canada, It has been shown there are more mortgages Qt1 iarms in the Eastern States than there are in Canada r but when investigation is made in the far west, the financial aftairs are even worse than they are in the east. Upwards of two hundred million dollars of foreign capital is invested, on farm mortgages in two states, Kansas and Nebraska, and the probability is that the leaders will have to take the land for their money.

No freight trains have been sent -west from this point over the Northern Pacific road during the last two clays. The Internationrl Peace and Liberty League is circulating a petition for a permanent arbitration treaty between France and the United. The petition has received the signature of 1,000 per- sons, including 100 member of deputies. Suakim was attacked Sunday by a large force of rebels. After four hours' fighting the rebels retired, leaving sever- al hundred killed and wounded on the field. On the British side Col. Lap and five Egyptians were killed and 14wound- ed . The British gunboats, Dolphin and Albacar, assissted the garrison and poured a deadly fire on the retreating rebels There appears to be deep intriguing at the German Court in the interest of Prince William. The latest report is that the Emperor William has signed a decree, which, in the event of his be coining incapable of ruling, will make Prince William regent. If that be so, the outlook for Queen Victoria's daugh- ter, the Crown Princess, is not very bright, for if the Crown Prince dies and. William comes to the throne she inay as well retire into private life. Efereldest son is said to have already given her a hint as to the treatment she may expect should he become Emperor, and from that it is judged that the English prin- cess will not find a bed of roses in Ger- many. The auction sale of the farm and °battles of Robert Barr, of II ibbert, on the 2nd ult., was a great success. Mr. James Oke, of Exeter, was tha auctionear.

Re has lost his feet and had to crawl into the jail on hands and knees. He complains that the stumps of his legs are frozen. In the fall of 1886 the American schooner •'George W. Davis was driver, ashore abotit three miles eolith of Bayfield, and the crew remaiiied in the rigging all night. Early the following day Mr, Janie a Huston of Bayfield noticed the wrecked vessel, and at great personal risk rescued them from their perilous position, and housed and fed them until they were strong enough to proceed to their homes, Mr. Huston reported the, case to the United States Government, by Mr Fred W, Johnston, and last week he re- ceived through Mr, Johnston a, hand- some silver medal.

On search being in- stituted the woman was discovered at the brink of the Falls. She fell fifty feet. After falling on the ice she rolled over to the brink of a deep hole in the ice where the water is about 20 fert deep. She es- caped with a few serious bruises and per- haps a broken rib or two.

Whether by the frost of Saturday night or in sem° other way one of the many sparrows which have donikiiled themselves about the busy haunts of men in Clinton, was injured so that it could not fly.
