THEME will be more opposition than ever to Mo. Gladstone's purpose of hold- ing an autumn session now that a case of cholera has occurred among the caretak- ers of the Parliamentary buildings, and the buildings themselves have been de- clared by a medical commission to be in an insanitary condition. Already the members have been showing signs of over -work and ill health as a result of au extremely exciting, worrying session. In a recent speech the Speaker of the House declared that he believed the late violent disturbances in the House were the effects of overtaxed nerves and ill - health, and the 'Lanoet' endorsed hie opiuiou and urged that the Houses of Parliament should be reconstructed, or at least made more commodious and more convenient. It is a well-known fact that there are not seats enough in the Commons chamber for more than one -hair of the members and hardly standing room enough for all. The members themselves are opposed to a very,large hall with a seat and doth for each legislator, such as most other par- liaments have, on the ground that large halls entail a declamatory style of elo- quenee, whioh they thick opposed to the true deliberative method of the House, a More colloquial kind of speaking being that most encouraged in the British House. It would seem probable that a hall large enough to accommodate all mambero with a sent on a bench should at least be had. It is anything but true economy Lo endanger or impair the health of public men by crowding them into too small space under ineaui• tiny conditions.—Montreal Witness.

Justin of the Peace Orr Saturday united ah couple in the holy bonds of matrimony The juetioo wrote the marriage down When everything was in readiness fo the oeremony he handed the paper to th young lady. As she read the question she would answer "Yes" and dosignat with her fingers the one she anervered The paper was then given to Mr. Dough arty. Opposite the questions was def blank space enough for him to write th answer to enoh question, which ton properly dote. After the ceremony ba beau performed and Judge Orr had put OS the little slipofpaper-these words," pronounce you man and wife," the yon couple read it and wrote that they wer ready to receive the oongratoletions o the justice and the few friends who wer present, Judge Orr's congratulation wore written on a piece of paper which he gave the young pair. An autopsy upon the body of Mrs Elizabeth P. Thonae, who lived with W F. Morgan's family, near Willow Grove Philadelphia, revealed the feat •that th woman had swallowed her false tenth For some time past llirs. Thomas, a widow, had been suffering from a nervous disorder, which slightly nn• balanced her mind. On Sunday morn- ing she leaped from a secoud•etorey window. Her jaw was broken and she swallowed her false teeth, A physician was called to attend her. The suffering woman deolared that she had swallowed her teeth, but it wee thought that she had loot them. Believing that it was a maniaoal whim, little attention was paid to the woman's tales. However, although the fractured jaw was set and dressed, the victim grew worse and died. The clootor was puzzled by the death and he made. a post-mortem examination. In the woman's throat were her false teeth, so tightly'.wedgad that they could not pass down or be removed. A Chinese funeral never proceeds straight from the house of mourning to the graveyard. The devil is always on the lookout for funerals and follows them to seize the soul of the dead man, so, in order to outwit the evil one, the bearers take up the body and start off with it at a brisk trot, while peeks of fire -crackers and pyrotechnics, emitting a dense smoke and vile smell, are set off just as the pro- cession starts. Having thus deceived Old Nick as to the direction taken by the bearers, they run as fast as tbey can with the body, then suddenly turn a corner and stop while more fireworks are burned. The devil cannot turn% corner easily, and en, if really in pursuit, he shoots on by, and by means of a good deal of sod- den turning and stopping and a lavish expenditure of fireworks, the funeral pro- oeesion generally gets to the grave in safety, while the old boy, confused by their movements and half suffocated by the fireworks, is still wandering about 111 the city. The town of Villa Canes, in the province of Toledo, has been devastated by floods and about forty lives have been lost, Heavy rains have fallen in the provinces, and the town, which le situ. tubed on rather low ground, was inun- dated. The people bed no thought of danger, though the generally small streams in the vicinity of the town were rapidly swelling and threatening to over• flow their banks. Late on Thursday night of last week when most of the in- habitants had retired, the waters from the hills, where there had probably been a oloud.buret, swept down on the doomed town, carrying away almost everything in the path. Huge trees that had been torn bodily from the ground, swept along th on the crest of e ruching watere, and were hurled with frightful violeuoe against the houses in the path of the streams, wrecking them. A number of persons were badly injured. In one place a yonug W0113411was found with a0 infant clasped to her breast with one hand, while with the other hand she held the hand of a little boy. All were dead and there was not a mark upon them. It ie believed the bodies of many others are buried under the ruins. The little town of liiantone, fives miles from Jamestown, N.

The wind was theheaviest known for years. L. Kennedy, Clinton, had an operation performed on his cheek or jaw bone the other day. Sumo time ago a wisdom tooth canned him great pain. Several nnssccesefol attempts were made to draw the tooth. It had apparently grown to the jaw bone. Under chloroform, the tooth was removed. The pain continued. Last week a deep incision was made clear to the bone and several splinters remov- ed. As Mrs. John Miller, of St. Helens, was untying a horse from the hitching post in front of A. B.

Discovery of the fast that the accounts of some of the depositors in the postoffioe branob saving bank nt Lucknow were less than they should be was what led to the enquiry and the presence at Lnoknow of Poetoflice Inspector H. G. Hopkirk, of this district. It bas been found that by forged withdrawal applications the fol- lowing sums have been wrongfully drawn from the accounts of the parties named : Norman Nicholson, $150 ; Malcolm Nicholson, $150 ; Alexander Nicholson, $200 ; Miss Macdonald, $100.

A very interesting breech of promise suit is likely to be tried at Goderiah shortly. Mr. Doig, a school teacher at No. 9 section of McKillop towushflp, Huron county, and Miss Wilsey, daughter of one of the trustees of the school, are the parties concerned. The whole country side is torn up over the affair. The wedding was to have taken place in the Summer and the wedding cake and the bride's trosseau had even been made• The expectant bride was very mach affected over the alleged perfidy of her lover, and now she asks for $5,000 as the balm that will soothe her wounded heart. Both the young people are well and favorably known. bliss Wilsey is the daughter of a well•to-do farmer, while Mr. Doig also owns a farm. It is said that the defendant will admit the promise of marriage, but will give reasons for hie refusal to carry out his contract that may prove sensational. Mr. Garrow will proscribe, and M, 0.

Born in Kilkenny, Ireland, he emigrated to Canada when but 18 years of age and set- tled on the Grand River between Brant- ford and Paris, where he resided for some time. He afterwards moved to Goderiah township and settled on what is now known as the McCartney farm, Maitland con., enduring all the privations and hardships of pioneer life, Disposing of this farm be moved to the one now oeeu- pied by Wtliiem Stanley, on the Huron road, whore he resided for nearly $0 years. He then moved about half a mile east, to the Bridgewater farm. About four years ago he moved to Clinton, remaining here until about a year ago—hie wile dying at that time—and then he took up his reel. deuce with his son, Daniel B,, in Gode- riah, at whioh piece he died Monday morning.

Lieutenant Peary's wife isnot the first woman to brave the perile and hardships of Arctic exploration. About thirty years ago J. W.
