In the absence of Rev. F.H. Patt and family, who are camping at Grand Bend Park, Capt. Kemp has been sleep- ing eights at the rectory, Monday night last he entered the rectory by the kitchen door as usual about 10 o'eloek, but did not notice the cellar door was open. Now his has an ugly looking gash over the right eye, a sore el' se, and a sore knee, besides two fingers of his right band were put out anoint, which were reset later on. The captain will no doubt keep himself furnished with a light when entering the rectory from this out. The audience that greeted the Rev. Wm. McDonagh in the Main st. Metho" dee Church Sunday last was large and appreciative. As announced he preach- ed a sermon on "Why we should com- memorate the Battle of the Boyne as Protestants subjects of the Queen of England. Ile handled his subject with exactness and to the gratification of all; and the true -born sons of King William, who availed themselves the pleasure of hearing the Rev. gentle- man, expressed themselves as having never listened to a sermon in which they were. so deeply interested. "A quiet wedding took place on Tuesday. morning at the R. 0 chnrch, ,..when Mr. James Clyne of the Gore of. Downie and Miss Rose Egan, daughter of the late Michael Egan of St. Marys, were -united. Mr James Egan of Exeter and Miss Minnie Egan of Ayr, brother and sister of the bride, per- formed the duties of groomsman and bridesmaid respectively, and Rev. Father Brennan, pastor of the church, performed the ceremony. Mr Clyne is a well-known resident of Downie, a successful farmer and township treas- urer, and his bride was highly esteemed in the circle in which she moved in St. Marys" -St. Marys Argus. 40 cents will pay for the AovoonTtt from now LOU Jan 1st 1894 Subscribe now, The death occurred Wednesday of last week at his leteresidence iii the West, Ward, of Patrick hickey, the oldest resideirt of St. Marys, at the age of 103 years, 7 months. The faun and crops of the late George Armstrong were disposed of on the premises' Monday las'. The farm cont caned 99 acres and was pt r chased by Thos. Bussell for $4.500, The grain brought $2.15, and the hay crop $85. The lige stock exporters have been hit pretty heavily this season. Since the opening of navigation a series : of losses have occurred on most of the shipments that have gone across to the Old Country, anal there are no sigus of any change in their hard luck. Week before last was ono of the worst this year. Both the Liverpool and London markets were depressed, contrary to all expectations, and it is calculated that cattle in both these places lost fully $10 per head.' A private Liver- pool cable said: "'Weather tropical'; demand weak ; receipts, Canadians and Americans heavy ; finest steers, 5ed." Another Liverpocl salesman cables: "We,see,no prospect of an ad- vance in cattle, while supplies con- tinue so heaey from Canada and the United States. whose now) Knowledge Suits. Judge Doyle gave judgement recent- ly in the suits tried before nim in which the since defunct Home Know ledge Association sought to recover on notes... given by subscribers for membership, by which they were to receive books at greatly reduced rates. It will be remembered thet a ,judge. in Toronto decided seveyl cases there in favor of the plaintiffs, on the ground that when a man signs a note he must expect to pay for it. But Judge, Doyle gave judgement in favor of : the de- fendents here, on the ground that the. plaintiffs were a foreign corporation, and certainly had no privileges beyond those recognized in a home corporation and as the law says distinctly that such cooperative associations can not do a credit business,' but only a cash business, they cannot recover on these notes. Several of the eases arising in this section fell through on a refusal to grant .the plaintifff a new trial, but. those on which the presentjudgement was given were very fully argued ant on their merits. The point on which Ais Honor bases his judgement is one that doesnot appear to have been thought of in the cases tried at . Toron- to, yet it is not a new one by any means. Personal 1Yenntion..
