Fenton Arrested. Jobn R Fenton, the betrayer of Jessie Mitteb, was arrested between 1 and 2 n'olook Ssturdsy m.trntng at his boarding house in Londesboro,' Efe was taken to Blyth and planed in the cool w. The ' charge upon which he was arrested was seducing Miss Bertha Youn ,lett of for g g Auburn, a young girl under 16 year@ of age and dauehter of one of the most re- -spectable business men of the village. His trial took place Saturday. morning at 11 o'ol.iak before Samuel Caldwell, J. P at Auburn. There was very little made .out of the evidence given. The girl herself admitted, that he had been criminally intimate with her but not within the past 12 months. He could not be convicted on this evidence and was discharged. The father of the girl then told Fenton ethat he did not want to see him around Ms premises again, as he had ruined his -daughter gad brought disgrace on his damily. At this Fenton grew angry and .attempted to strike Youngblutt but was prevented from doing so by Chief Davie, who received the blow himself. For this le was fined $10 and costs. It does seem :strange that a wretch like this youug man .,eancauso tbe death of one girl and ruin another and thou escape without proper ;punishment.

Thinking he had forgotten the lantern he went to the ` house to see. Finding the lantern in its proper place he at once went to as- certain the cause of the light. To his surprise he found the buildings he had just left, in a mass of flames. Work was commenced to save the contents, but but everything save the horses, and a few loads of wheat, was destroyed, including 12 head of cattle, the sheep and pigs, imple. meats and this and last year's crops, The barns were among the finest in the township and were insured for a small sum in the McGillivray Com- pany.

Blake t l i Retire. tire. Hon. Edward Blake has soon tired of Irish politics. In the course of a speech to his constituetlts the other day, he hinted at his intention to retire from political life. He announced Monday that he would retain his seat only until the general election. The Nationalists claim that this is not due to any quarrel with Mr. Blake, which may be literally true, but it is true that the squabbles in the party during the last year or eighteen months have disgusted and disheartened him. There is good reason to believe, too, that Mr. Blake has beengreatly surprised and disap- poiated at the actual outlook for home rule. When he left Canada to take a seat in the House of Commons, it was his belief that an Irish Parliament would be won within two or three years, rand the glamour of the idea of taking a seat in the historic chamber on Col. lege Green obscured the keenness of his political vision, fie now forsees a long period of bitter strife and turbulent agitation, for which he has neither taste nor desire. Similar considerations, it is believed, are influencing the minds of others among the older men of the party including, despite denials more or less authorative, Justice McCarthy, its nom- inal leader, and it is certain that the general election will sett a number of younger men come to the front. The Sale of land for taxes advertised for November 27th, has been adjourned to Thursday. December 6th as per adver- tisement in another column.
