A SAD CASE.
The Old Story of Ulan's Treachery to it
Trusting Woman.
One of the saddest events ever chroni-
cled in this county culminated in the
family of Robert MMutoh, a well known
and highly reepeoted farmer living in
East Wawanoeh, on Monday night of last
week. Hie daughter, Jessie, a young
woman of 22 years, was the victim, and
the history of the Daae shows it to be the
old and ornel story of seduction under
promise of marriage, then abandonment
by the betrayer, and the death of the
poor girl, probably by her own hand, to
avoidthe shame she could not face.
On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Kutch were absent from home, and their
daughter Jessie, after spending the even-
ing with her brothers, William and Fred,
retired, apparently in the best of spirits;
but about midnight her screams alarmed
the household and she was found in the
throes of death from the effects of a dose
of strychnine. Dr. McLanohlin, of Man-
chester, was summoned, but could do
nothing.
A. coroner's inquest was held on Wed.
nesday by Dr. Milne, of Blyth, under the
direction of Mr. Lewis, who sated on be-
half of the crown attorney, Dre. No -
Laughlin and Ferguson performing the
poet mortem examination. The deeeaeed
had beeo keeping company with a young
man named John Fenton, a miller, and
from her correspondence and a diary she
had kept, it was found that, having ac-
complished her ruin, be had grown tired
of bar and refused to marry her. Fen-
ton was called as a witness, and at first
seemed disposed to deny everything, but
under skillful erose questioning he finally
admitted the whole story ; also that the
deceased had told him she would oommit
suicide if he did not marry her, and' that
he bad 000 time taken a package of
strychnine from her and burned it. The
mother of deceased had only recently sus-
pected that anything was wrong with her
girl, and had determined on learning the
facts and endeavoring to genre an hon-
orable settlement by the young man, but
before her intentions could be carried out
the band of death bad fallen. The jury
returned an open verdict that deceased
came to her death by poison administered
by some one unknown, and so the sad
tragedy recta for the present.
Intense indignation is felt towards the
heartless and cowardly wretch who ie the
cause of the poor girl's untimely death,
and but for the respect of law which ie
characteristic of Canadians, he would
have met with something like his deserts
at the hands of the citizens of that sec-
tion.
WHAT DOLLAR BILLS WEIGH.
Several customers were chatting in a
grocery store one evening recently, says
an exchange, when the grocer pointed to
a barrel of small beans, and asked how
many of them it would require to make
a bushel.
Various estimates were offered. Ona
recklessly put the number at 50,000,
which occasioned a laugh from all the
others who had guessed a much lesser
quantity, ranging all the way from 5,000
to 20,000.
"Well, gentlemen," remarked the
groper, "you are all wrong. There are
approximately 119,000 beans in a bushel, '
No one was inclined to believe him
until he showed them that it took 60
beans, selected at random, to weigh half
an ounce. The rest of the calculation
was simple.
Now, then," said one of the party,
"eines we are engaged in guessing con-
tests, how many dollar bills would it take
to weigh as much as a silver dollar 7"
One said 100, another said 75, while
the groper, who knew all about beaus,
put the figure at 800.
"All wrong," rematked the man. "It
takes just 22." This was proven to be
the 61180 by experiment.
FIGS AND THISTLES.
Some preachers are trying by every
means to fill their church except by
preaching the gospel,
Beware of the man who apologizes for
sin of any kind.
A righteous man needs 00 monument.
The prayer ot faitb always counts on
immediate results.
Whenever love writes its name, it does
it in he own blood.
To know thut God levee 06, is to know
something glorious.
God will not give us any niers truth
than we are willing to live.
We cannot do any man a greater wrong
than to misjudge him.
The minister who is not more than a
preacher is a poor one.
The first step toward heaven is genet.
ally taken on the knees,
Stop moderate drinking and we will
soon have no. drunkards,
The Meaner men are the more they
want their wives to be angers.
We cannot ask God for mubh when wo
are not willing 00 do much,
The pre -Yore that are winged with grati-
tude fly straight to heaven.
It ie hard to get the dovii'e alavo to
believe that God is his friend,
There are no promises in the Bible for
11691110 Who are not in earnest,
We ars not made riph by what we can
i(et, but by what we can't toad.
Dyed whiskers are like bypoorley,
They never fpot hot one person,
Sin makoe an awful change in us, but
it never makes any ohange in God.
Get salvation before yea wear out your
brains in trying to understand it, ,•
The prayer that does not bring us
eleeer to God takes us farther from Him.
The purobaeing power of money eau be
made to extend beyond this earth.
The saloons would have to elop to-
morrow, if the devil had to tail the truth,
Sometimes a prayer for a good meeting
is not answered beoause' there is bad
ventilation.
Let hell be blotted out to -day, and
there is material enough in any saloon
keeper and a barrel of whisky to start
another one,

your work on
earth ie done, and
you enter the reward of
your business, all the souls
of the men you have destroyed
will crowd around you, and pour their
bitterness in your pup. They will show
you their wounds and say, 'you made
them' and point to their unquenobable
thirst, and say, 'you kindled it' and
rattle their chains, and gay, 'you forged
them.' Then their united groans will
smite your ear; and with the hands from
which you pinked dimes they will push
you off the verge of great precipices ;

A SHORT SERMON.
By Nev. Whnn;doalle Baxter, of the
Austin Blue Light Tabernacle.
Berlubbed Breddern and Sister( : De
subject ob die ebenin's discourse am
abarioe, in other words, ,stinginess.
Dar's lots ob stingy folks in ebery ker-
munity, but de wust case of abarioe ebber
I heered of was dat of a man in Alabama.
He tried ter pawna coat ob tar and fed -
dere dat had been presented ter him by
his nabors.
1 has heered ob enudder cage dat was
moo' as bad. A chile drank about a pint
ob kerosine by mistake, and his madder,
who was a mighty close Doman, ran a
wink down de chile's front, and used that
infant for a lamp.
Yes, breddern and cistern, dare a gen-
nerman ob my erquaintance who am
afeared ter buy a lead pencil, bekase he
can't be puffeotly shim dat de lead reach
alar fru it.
Dar's a man libbers in Western Texas
who paria-greened hie tater bugs tor deff,
and den he raked up der carcase and dried
'em out ober a slow fire in order ter git
de Paris green oaten 'em ter sell hit back
ter de drug steal.
De stingy man alters miserable. If he
walks around he trimbles when be re-
member dat he am wearin' out his shoes.
Ff he site down he wearee out his pante,
and dat makes him wish he was dead.
Faehinable folks am not all berry ex-
travagant. Ff yer looks inter a ballroom
yer kin see for yereelf dat de wimmen
folks eat things down gess ae low ae pos-
sible.
Some ob de rich men am as close as de
closest. I read in a paper dat a faithful
workman engaged in some kind ob extra
dangeroae work, hurt his hand mighty
badly. When de doctor was tendin' ter
de hand, de foreman came in a harry
and says : "Sam, what time was it when
yer got hurt 7 I wanter know when ter
dock yer wages."
Man ain't de only stingyanimile. Hit's
true man will ran erter a dollar but de
dog will run orter a scent. Heah 1
Hash I
At de same time I don't berleeve in a
man bein' too generous, for de horn ob
plenty will soon empty onlese hit's corked
wid er000emy.
Don't be stingy wid whatdon't poet yer
nuffin', slob se perliteness and good ad-
wice.
When you am in de temple ob de Lawd
yer should cast aside all stinginess.
Don't be like dal feller when be is asked
ter sing Ole Hundred, churns off N inety
and Nine, bekase he wanted ter make
one per cent., anyhow, dem hard times.
Deacon Snodgrass will please pees de

cruiser Petrel be sent to the island with
Rev. Mr. Hinds, of Amherstburg. The
request was mereifally complied with,

Among the occupants of Irieh Jack's
sitting room Friday evening was a quiet,
unassuming young man who had arrived
on the 8.60 G. T. R. After taking a long
rest he inquired of the genial proprietor
if Snowball was stili in business here, and
if Merrybank's eldest daughter was mar-
ried yet. He then excused himself, say-
ing that he had to slip across to New-
castle. It finally dawned on the be-
wildered man that he was in Chatham,
Ont., and not Chatham N. B., for which
latter place he had demanded a tioket at
Niagara Falls. He took in the situation
quite good naturedly, and Jack did his
prettiest to make hie guest feel at home.

was a heavy load of exoursioniets and
the train was divided. Justice Ferguson

have to pay when he could produce 110
