Hurn Assizes, The Spring Assizes for this County op. ened, at Goderioh, on Tuesday of laeb week, before Chief Justice Armour. The court opened at 0.30 a. rn., but Grand Jury was not called until after the arriv. al of the morning train at 11 o'olook. On the roll being oalled His Lordship in- formed the jurors that the Sheriff had presented him with the emblematic white gloves, there being no prisoners awaiting trial. The Grand Jury, he said, would bave no business to take up, ono case, which had been called being transferred to the County Sessions, where it more properly belonged. The duty of inspect- ing the County Jail was a traditional one almost unnecessary these days when there were two visits a year by an of Bial in. speetor, and as the jail had been inspect- ed three times since last June it would be a waste of time for the Grand Jury to re- main here merely for that purpose now and be therefore discharged them at once to save needless expense to the County. The oivil cases were then taken up be. ing, Irwin vs. Broadfoot. An action for se- dnetion. Verdict for plaintiff, by oonsent for $300 and costs of suit. L. E. Danny for plaintiff, R. S. Hays for defendant. Lambertue vs. Dalton, an action to es. tablish a boundary line between the lands of the parties, in township of Ashfield. Adjourned until May sitting of the court. L. E. Danny for plaintiff, 11. S. Hays for defendant. Andrews et al ve. Baeohlea of al. An action to recover damages for wrongful forcible taking of cattle out of plaintiff's possession, they claiming a lien upon them for $025, for feeding. Case with. drawn from the jury and judgment re. served by His Lordship upon question of lien. Campion & Johnston for defend- ant ; Garrow & Proudfoot for plaintiff. Senior ve. McGillicuddy. An action for libel in the publication by the Signal in February, 1892, of an anonymous letter charging the plaintiff with keeping a den in a billiard room on Kingston street, permitting a drunken orgie, and selling tobacco and cigars to minors contrary to the Ontario statute. Campion & John. ston for plaintiff ; Garrow & Proudfoot for defendant. The jury after consider- ation returned witn a verdict of "no dam- ages," and His Lordship therefore dis- missed the action, but without costs. McDougall vs. Allen. An action for assault at the Dunlop hotel, township of Colborne. Quito a number of witnesses were called, and the ease excited a good deal of looal interest. The jury after fifteen minutes' consideration returned a verdict for defendant, and His Lordship dismissed the action with oasts. ' Ayls. worth and M. 0. Johnston for plaintiff; Garrow & Proudfoot for defendant. Baeehler ve. Andrews, an action for malicious prosecution, arising out of the case tried before the County Judge some time ago, when Andrews charged Beech. ler with stealing a number of cattle which were in dispute between them. His Lordship withdrew the case from the jury, and reserved judgment. Ayleworth and Johnston for plaintiff; Garrow & Proadfoot for defendant. Craigia vs. Clark, an aotion for the pride of a fishing boat. Judgment dis- missing plaintiff's claim with costs and for the defendant referring counter claim to deputy clerk of the Crown to ascertain balance due. Ayleworth, Q. C., and Danny for plaintiff; Garrow & Proudfoot for defendant. McKenzie ve. Smith, an aotion for purchase money of a consignment of bay was settled withont trial. CRIMINAL CALENDER. The case of the Queen ve. H. McLeod, an indictment for perjury and false pre- tenoes, traversed from the last assizes, was again traversed to the fall assizes, the defendant giving bail in 2200 and R. Molntosh, of Ashfield, and John Hunter, of Ripley, becoming surities in 2100 eaob. In the Queen vs. Daniel McIver, bail was entered for the trial of the charge at the next sessions of the peace, defend. ant giving bail in $500, with Charles Saeger and John Knox as sureties in $250 each.

Last fail whoa in conversation with seine of the suppc8ed Free Traders in their own. Country they soy plainly that Free Trade was next to .an impes- sibiUty but the tariff would likely be modified and a few days ago when in con- version with smother American he said if there was 'to be another election the ballots would toll a different story, We all lrnowt1io stormy passage the Wilson Billhad going through Congress with sixty four of a majority but its fate is not certain when it gods before the Senate for that august body have sent about one million oiroulars tomanufaoturers,miners and others before they would act on the matter, We all know the kind of Free Trade the country will have with tariff higher than ours ,supposing the Wilson Bill does pass the Senate in its present shape. You say, Sir, that every week adds fresh recruits to the great army of Free Traders. To my mind the meaning of Free Trade is the passage of all kinds of goods between two or more countries duty free, then I cannot see how we can have Free Trade with the United States with their tariff higher than ours is now. On the other side I cannot see how we can give them Free Trade suppose we had tariff for revenue only. You pro- pose making some sweeping changes in the Dominion Government by Tariff Reform and by turning out the Senate, etc, As regards the tariff it is being con- tinually reformed and now we have more on the Free list than we had sixteen or seventeen years ago. Would it not be a grand idea to commence by making some sweeping changes in the Provincial Gov- ernment, far apparently it needs it pretty had and when we come to the Dominion Government let us attend to that also and if we can turn the Senate out so much the better which would be a considerable saving in the expenditure. Again, Sir, you say the N. P. must go appears for be the watchword of the majority of Canuoks. Now seeing that the Americans have clung to their high tariff so long and now love it so clearly would it be true policy, would it be profitable and patriotic for us to throw down our tariff barriers and let sixty million people into a five million market and the five millions shut out from the sixty million market with a high wall of tariff. I answer no, and I say right here that I believe there is not ono man in either Grey or Morristhat would agree to such including you, Mr, Editor. Yours Respectfully, A Someoi n&. Morris, February 24,12, 1894. To the Edlbor of Tim POST. DEAR EDn•oa,—Tai TBE POST of Feb, 15 and in your editorial on Tariff Reform you say "if the N. P. is doing such glor- ious things for the farmers why under the sun did a representative body of tillers of the soil, suoh es the Central Farmers' Institute, many of whose members are sbaunoh Conservatives, discuss Tariff Reform in Toronto last week'" That question is nob easily answered but I will do as best I can for it is very difficult to understand the freaks of human nature. We all know that Christianity is good and we all know that it is good to be a Chris- tian yet we have heard of some people who have turned to infidelity. Not very long ago a farmer and Conservative when going hone from Brussels told his neigh. bor, a Reformer, that the wheat had an. other drop in price with a downward tendency then the outs Grit thought he bad a chance to stuff hie Tory neighbor and said 'Now you see the effects of it and still if you had a thence you would vote for the Tory Government to -mor- row," Well, Conservatives are human and some of them are liable to bo stuffed and gulled. In the United States the N. P. is in force for about 80 years and after 27 years trial the people liked it so well they piled up the McKinley Bill to make the tariff wall higher and surer. At the last elootion in the States the majority of the people thought they were in favor of Free Trade and elected what they thought would be a Free Trade Government, they soon regretted the act when they saw the The County Smiday School Conven- tion will be held in Knox ohuroh, Mitoh. ell, on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 10th and llth. George A. Cooper, Goderioh township, has a splendid pippin apple tree, the seed of which was planted in the year 1857 fifty.seven years ego.

He also has an English cherry tree which measures 5} f t. around the trunk, 39 ft. in height, and 3 ft. across the branches. It is said that the poetoffioe officials are kept busy just now looking after per- sons who attempt to prepay postage with stamps previously used, Several convic- tions have recently been obtaiaedthrough- out the province. Qn the 5th inst., Mrs. Ellen Holt, ex -assistant postmaster at Khive, in this county, was, on complaint of Postofiios Inspector Barker, brought before Charles Snell, J.
