a rush to go upstairs and was horrified to
Sind that the hall lamp had burst, and the

the Scott Act and seemed to feverishly in -
press the large orowd present. Though
some may not look with favor on the Slott
Act it is a well knewn fact that certain
individuels have defied the law labial the
majority of the electors of Huron by their
votes have made. It will be seen, however

Hedging hall. The plaintiff in both • cases
• Was, we understand, John Hyndman bar-
tender at Hawkshaw's hotel Exeter, and
the defendants, Messrs. Mann and Albert
%seat. It seems that Mann Bissett had
struck plaintiff. on the head with his baton
with such force as to fell hint instantly,
and as far as could be gathered from the
evidence of defendant, struck Hyndman for
hindrance while performing duty. The
verdict was that Bissett stand his trial at
the Spring Assizes. • Case No. two was
then brought on and after evidences were
taken verdict was given in favor of defend-
ant, (A.. Bissett); plaintiff to pay all costs.

, Quite an excitingDonnybrooke took place
at the Western hotel recently on the
appearance of the notorious Jim McFad-
den, ex.S. A, C. C. While on his usual
roundsbill posting, he entered the hotel
and greeted the proprietor, Mr. John Cain,
with his usual innocent smile, as is his
custom when in pursuit of game. This
did not meet the views of the landlord who
quietly requested him to depart. James,
feeling that his Noble pasts for 30 days, was
eufficient possession, treated the salutation
with indifference, Whereupon John took
forcible steps to eject his unwelcome and
obnoxious visitor. James taking two steps
to the left and one to the rear proceeded to
explain his mission as one of benovelence
and not prosecution, and insisted Dpon
posting his precious doonmeut which
caused tbe fire of indignation to blaze in
the breast of mine host, who, at the same
time, remarked that the last bill he posted
M his hone° caused him to dance to the
tune of 8100 and costs; and that under the
cirotunstances hs would not allow a place
for him or his A mace, ensued,
during which the recently discharged and
much despised. offioial was seizedby the lug
and led te the door, receiving while en
route several impressive reprimands from
two or three natives who were present, each
administering the dose in a style charac-
teristic of the good old Corkonians. Jim
finding the surroundings veal, repulsive and
adverse to the best interests of his delicate
forrn, and to the preserving of the potency
of his ocular optics, introduced the Halton
Ad, by displaying his a,hiltiee as an archer.
The modern, ninsrod then presented -his
gun at the bead of his antagonist when a
messenger vras sent for constable Bawden.
Before his arrival the gallant jim had re-
treated to the depot and took refuge in the
bosom of a mend, surrendering has pop
. . .
and anamunitiot to prevent pro-sic•cution.
A few clays after James treated Ws friends
to a trip to London, thus privileging them
to interview John Peters, J. P. After a
few cengreaulations from the Beak, the sum
of 3 cases and _costs paid the bill for free-
dom.
Myself and two other friends took .a half
holiday to attend the consolation raceheld
in Luoan the other day. • A large orowd
being present everything was asgood as
could be desired, all hands in full anticipa-
tion of seeing some fun. A large crowd
collected around the grand stand which 18
erected on William-st. As I promised 1
will give you a short synopsis of the affair.
Quite early in the forenoon some four or

.very lnteresting was seen in the feature of
the ease only the McCarty mare which
• being the favorite was watched with intense
interest. When she inadeiher first appears
• aurae on the street, heavily clothed with
sweat blankets, as she was not in very good
trim owing to the heavy track the night
before, many were disappointed and res
marked that she had been worked too hard
and trained too fine to be matched against
horses displaying strength and action.
Blacik Ed, Pounclinaker, Pl-a-Pot and Sorrel
Cloud, ,from their general appearance on'
She street promised to do their work up
with great speed. After some two hours
or more, a large number of pools had been
sold, the McCarty mare proving the favor-
ite ancl sold at 340.00, while Black Ed sold
second choice for a ten dollar bill, the field
going a:begging and sold at 34.00 with
Poun.dmaker, n -a -Pot and Sorl Cloud.
They drew and McCarty mare won the toss
and took the pole and held it to the end of
the heat winning the race in 1301, Black
Ed a good second, Sorl Cloud Srcl, Pound -
maker and Pi -a -pot distanced. All being
well pleased with the proceedings during
the day it was the unanimous conclusion
of all spectators that this WAS • the closest
contested race they had ever seen as all
around the course the mare led, pushed by
Ed se tightly that at times the same
blanket would cover both horsea; and many
are led to believe that the horse can out -
wind her. On the whole the meeting was
carried tout with entire satisfaction to all.
Robert H., the york king of the west, who
was the spirit in conducting the business
of pool selling, and from whom all reliable
information concerning the affair was re-
ceived, was applied to, to arrange matters
for another trial. As it is quite evident
this track is too heavy for Ed and should a
more favorable one be got we have every
reason to believe be willelistanceall comers.
After a due deliberation over -tile matter, a
second match was made to come off on the
14t11 of the present month at London, when
Judge Fullerton and a number of other
worthies are to take part. A. good time is
expected. Arrangements will be made
with the Gs T. R. for reduced rates. 13e -
fore the meeting closed, Round Head
stepped forward to the pool seller and pre-
sented him with a beautiful boguet AS a
token of respect for the able manner in
'which he discharged the laborous duties of
the above ofd.ce. After a suitable reply
had been made by the receiver the crowd
dispersed giving three cheers for the queen
three for the mare, and volley after velley
of applause for Black Ed,
