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, 1 tell you plainly that one day you will meet your oustptbers when there will be he counter between you. When 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 ; white rolling up from beneath and break- ing among the crags of death, will thun- der hunder what God has said. "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that putteat thy bottle to him and makeet him drunken also,"—The blood of Jesus Christ oleaneeth from all sin. I John 1:7. 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 hat.

Twenty-five ciente a box, About a week ago a couple on Pelee Ieland had become very impatient for an opportunity to be married. There is no minister on the bland, the spiritual wel- fare of the inhabitants being attended to by the minieters who make occasional visits there. No boat had been running between the island and the mainland for a week, and the result was the postpone- ment of the wedding. Finally the groom sent a plea to Ottawa, asking that the cruiser Petrel be sent to the island with Rev. Mr. Hinds, of Amherstburg. The request was mereifally complied with, and the couple have been made happy.

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.

Justice Ferguson had quite a novel ex. penance at Trenton Friday night, He was returning from Napanee to Toronto on a return ticket. He gave the latter up before he reached Trenton and re- ceived no check to show that he had paid, the conductor on the train evident- ly being able to remember him. There was a heavy load of exoursioniets and the train was divided. Justice Ferguson got on the nue which had the new con- ductor, and the latter demanded his tioket, His Lordship was told he would have to pay when he could produce 110 tioket. • He would not pay and was ordered off the train. He got off at Tren- ton and stayed all night at the station. He telegraphed to Turonto and was al- lowed to come on free next morning, The mistake has caused much coneter- nation in Grand Trunk circles; A Pennsylvania oow rejoioes in the diatinatlon of a ,wooden leg, Having lost one of her four supporters through a railway train, which cut it off below the knee, a veterinary surgeon took the wounded animal in hand, and through, his skill and ingenuity her lift was flayed.

At first the oow persisted in hopping along on three togs, and hold- ing the injured one up from the ground but before long she grew tired of this, and cautionely tried the wooden one. At last accounts she was doing very well with it, although going about with a de. bided limp ; and she hue the proud dietinotfon of beim the only oow in the world with a wooden leg, HONEY TO LOAN..
