HOnene CASSE TnounLE.—At the Divie.
ion Court held at Gerrie on Tuesday,
before His Honor, Judge Doyle, there
was a couple of amusing oases to farmers
and listeners. One was Armstrong ve,
Bogue. It appears that Armstrong
traded a horse to Bogue for a land roller
and sundry other implements and
warrented said horse to be eotind. Short.
ly after Bogue took possession of the
animal it commenced bleeding profusely
at the nostrils. The Daae hung on the
point, ae to whether the bleeding wag a
defect or otherwise, and a number of
skilled "vets" were called for both parties
and gave evidence, but they did not
agree, the consequence being that Hie
Honor reserved judgment for six menthe
to give him time to see for himself what
effect the bleeding would have ou the
animal. The next case, Fallahay vs.
McNeil, was an action to recover $60, the
prioe of a horse Fallahay had left for one
month with McNeil to pasture, and said
horse had strangled itself while tied in
MoNeil's stable. MoNeiiproved that the
horse bad proved a nuisance in pasture
field and, therefore, had tied it ap, and
also produced evidence to show that the
horse was in the habit of pulling on its
tie, and that he was not made aequaine-
ed of this foot when. Fallahay left the
animal in hie possession, The point in
this case wag whether or not McNeil
should stand good for the insurance of
the animal, when entirely unaoquainted
with the faults of the beast. His Honor
reserved deoisiou indefinitely,

DZSOIi.OEEDL.—The conduct of some of
our young men Las of late been of such a
disgraceful character as to call forth
oomment. In oar opinion it seems a
great pity that boys and young men who
have been brought up by respectable
parents in a country which boasts of its
grand system of education cannot go to
town ou business or pleasure without
bringing disgrace on themselves and
those who have reared them to years of
manhood and understanding. They ap-
pear to think that they cannot have a
good time without getting beastly in-
toxicated and having a drunken row.
We have no objection to any one having
pleasure in so far as legitimate amuse-
ments go, but there is a vast difference
between having a good time and making
a beast of oneself by the excessive aee'of
intoxicating liquor and indulgence in
blasphemous language, much to the an-
noyanoe and disgrace of those immediate-
ly connected and associated with us.
Snob, we are sorry to say, has been the
conduct of some of our young men on
more than one acoasion reaently. We
sincerely hope that they will before long
be led to see themselves as they are seen
by others.
