According to the Revised Statutes of ( ntaro,,chapter 202, section 2, it is ob- libatory to cut out and burn all black knt,t found on plum or cherry trees, each aid every year as it shall appear. It is the duty of all overseers of highways or street inspectorsto enforce the provisions of this Act, under a penalty of $10 to $20 fine. After persons have been warned by the inspector and do not cut and burn as directed by statute, they are liable to a fine of not less than $5 and not mare than $20. A word to the wise is sufficient. es Cool Samtner.

The constable has decided to have the by-laws of the village strictly adhered to, more especially that clause referring to street loafing. The habit of some young men in standing in crowds on street corners, and especially at the church doors on dis- missal of service, is daily, growing and be- coming more shameful. Such conduct creates an adverse impression in the mirds of std angers and lowers the dignity of our highly -reputed village. The boys had bet- ter accept this warning lest they should fall into the hands of the police. One of the measley men who took a newspaper for a year or two and then sent it back marked "refused" or"not wanted", was sued by a Goclerich publisher a few days ago, and the Judge gave a verdict for the plaintiff for full credit amount with costs. The court decided notice to discon- tinue was not sufficient if the subscriber was in arrears. He must first pay up. In any event he wasresponsible for all the time he took the paper from the office ; and if he refused to tate it and the post- master does not return them to the pub- lisher, with the notice giving reason why it is returned then that "official becomes responsible because of his neglect.

Samuel Sample, jr., brought an action against John McCurdy, assignee of Swill. Sample. sr., of t aborne, tan Insoi vent, to establish claim against his father's estate for $2500, claiming that his father owed him that sum for money lent, and the amount due on a note made by his brother John, and his father as surety. The plff's father was examined at his house by the local master, being too old and infirm to attend court. His evidence was read and quite a sensation was caused by the plff, and his brother fainting during Mr. Osier's cross-examination, and His Lordship after hearing argument of pill's counsel dismissed the action with costs and said an attempt had been made to manu- facture evidence for the plff, the father's signature to the note appearing to have been but recently added. stir R.

The Rector then showed by figures the increase of the parish financially during the five years of his incumbency. In 1886, at Easter, there were 31 subscrib- ers to church funds and the amount of offertory, exclusive of that for missions, amounted to $118.40. In .1890 there are 90 subscribers to church funds (an increase of ten since lastyear) ancl$363.96 offertory. The envelope system is else in use now, which always reduces the offertory- In 1885, $555 were raisedfor church purposes; 1890, $$1.426 The church wardens report- ed an increase of at least $150 in subscrip- tions for the current year.

Cash For The Equal Rights people of the County of Huron met in convention on I Bulm na.s Tuesday. There was alargeattendance,'� many ministers being among the num- ber. There was considerable spouting done, which all amounted to absolutely nothing. The Reformers held that un- less an Equal Rights Reformer was nom- inated they would not support him. The Conservatives were than constrain- ed to make a similar threat, and in this way the meeting dispersed, to call sep- arate conventions of the three ridings, and try it again. - South Huron Reformers. The Convention of the South Huron Reformers was held at Hensall on Tues- day. There was a large delegation pres- ent, Stephen, Hay and Exeter sending a majority of the whole 114 delegates. Using the words of a Reformer present, "Mr. Bishop was too sharp for MacLean and had his men all on hand." Up- wards of a dozen persons were nomin- ated, and after short addresses by each all declined the nomination excepting M. Y. MacLean, and Archibald Bishop. These two men were pitted against each other, the vote resulting 75 to 37 in favor of Mr. Bishop. Mr. Bishop's' candidature was in no wise unanimous, the northern people going away, much dissatisfied, thinking; that Mr. Bishop, after a term of eighteen years in the "old arm chair," should have offered Mr. McLean an opportunity of showing the people what sort of stuff he is made The band have engaged Miss Laura Mc - Mania, .the whistling soloist to give an entertainment in Drew's Hall, on Saturday evg, May 24th.
