this conflict overshadowed the war in
South Africa. Your correspondent
was a witness to only part of the stir-
ring scene. When he arrived on the
ground, after the shade of night had
fallen, the show was well under way.
Approaching from the north, he saw a
large crowd of people surrounding a
couple of swaying figures making all
manner of motions at each other.
These he at firsttbelieved tobe a couple
of dancing bears with whose antics the
people were amusing themselves, but
on a closer approach he was able to
see •through the dust that covered
them that they were two full grown
men. They had just risen from the
ground after their first fall, which had
been scored to the credit of the hired
man. But as each was in- such good
fighting condition as to surprise the
other, they back -ed away from each
other, and began a most vigorous use
of that sometimes less dangerous wea-
non than the fist, the human tongue.

On Friday last, High Constable Mc-
Carthy and Chief McCarthy, of Strat-
ford, arrested a domestic, named Kate
Shair, on a. charge of infanticide. The
Stratford Herald says: -"The prisoner
is well-known about town. Her fam-
ily reside in New Hamburg, but, she
has been in the city for several years.
She is 26 years of age, fair and quite
good looking, being plump and .well..
developed. For some time past she
has been a domestic in the residence of
Judge Wage's, on John Street and
previous to that she occupied a similar
position in the household of County
Crown Attorney John Idington, Q. C.
A short time ago John Barr, fourth
line, Morris, missed his flock of sheep
21 in number. Diligent search was
made without avail, and where the
whole bock disappeared was a
mystery. On the side, of the gravel
hill is a house with a cellar base-
ment, about 18x24 feet, that was
builtseveral years ago for a hennery.
A horrible- smell was noticable in
this locality, and when investigation
was made the lost sheep were: found
in the cellar. Twelve of the number
1 were dead and the remainder nearly
famished, after their fast of nearly
Ithree weeks without food or water.
It ie Supposed that the sheep had gone
into the Ouse to get away fromthe
heat and flies' and had Prowthe
door shut, thus snaking themselves
prisoners.
The fishing club of Stratford, have
presented John White, G. T. R..: yarde ,
master of that point, with a handsome
silver fish set. consistingof knife, fork
and la
iter as a

their congratulations upon his recent

opinions regarding each other, and
these they gave free expression to in
language that was always forcible but Wci call your attention to
seldom elegant. It developed during
this interchange of inverted compli-
ments that the farmer had discharged
the hired rnan because he was always
afflicted with that "tired feeling" that
is so graphically described by those
distinguished philanthropists, the pat-
ent medicine dealers, and that while at
some neighboring threshing bees he
had !not given the most clattering of
characters to hie former serving man.
A conversation something like the fol-
owing took place after your reporter's
arrival upon the jawing ground:
Farmer—Yes, I discharged you be-
cause you were too lazy to. work.
Hired man—I was not lazy. I was
ick and had to go to the hotel to
