The Ex -Loader Itri orIM pyfnu, Private advices lately received state that the House of Commons Department has received from Hon. Mr. llfackonxio M. P. a letter enclos- ing a cheque for five hundred dollars extra sessional allowance whioh had been forwarded to him. Tbo enclos- ure was accompanied by an intima- tion that illneas alone had prevented hie returning the money et an earl- ier date. This illness, it is learned from other amerces, is so serious that few of hie political friends ever ex- pect to see hien in Parliment again. Paralysis ie slowly but surely obtain- ing tbo mastery of ono side of his body, and hie friends have watched with alarm for many months past the outward indications of the die - ease. A score of physicians have all quietly been asked their opinions and all pronounced the verdict given above. The ex -Premier's attendance during the past session was very un- certain, and even when present, in many cages, ho puled to recognize in- stantly those whom ha knew familiar- ly en the past, The probalities are that this return of extra allowance is due to his high sense of honor. A BIT OP RAWHIDE. Somewhat of a sensation was creat- ed in tiro vicinity of the Methodist church of St. John's, on Sunday morning, whon a farmer named Wm. R. Warner, residing near that village, received a sound castigation from a horse -whip in the hands of au eighteen year old woman named Priscilla Tay- lor.. It appears that various reports not too creditable to the girl's reputa- tion, have been afloat in the neighbor• hoof, and some went so far as to say that she is in a rather interesting con• dation. It is stated that the girl's father chanced to meet Warner, and during the conversation that ensued asked tho latter if ho believed the girl was in the cohdition aeoribed to her, To this Warner replied in the affirm- ative, and consequently Taylor told the girl, who determined to adminis- ter punishment to him. So after ser- vice on Sunday morning she waited with her father and brother until Warner camp out of the olouroh, whoa the old mau told Warner .that Pris• eilla wanted to see him, The uusas. pocting farmer proceeded to whore tho girl was, and when he approached her she drew a rawhide from the folds of her does, and began slashing hie face with it. Ho attempted to wrest the whip from leer hand a, when tho father and brother rushed up and attacked him. Tho girl kept on showering blows upon Warner until another far- mer named Robert Jackson interfered, and took the whip from the girl. Her father immediately attacked Jackson, but.was speedily overpowered. Jack- soiletllegoe that the old mau threat- enedto put a ballet through him, and he subsequently camp to the city in 0omjaauy with Warner and Joseph Bitten. The three proceeded to the resoleneo of Squire Niles, where War - nor eworo out information against the three Taylors for assault, and Jackson against the Taylors for assault and threatening to shoot. Tho dofendarite appeared before Squire Niles in tho afternoon, and the evidence tor tho proseoutlon in both oases was taken, Which agreed with tho facts narrated above. Au adjournment was than lead until letiday to roeeive the testi- many i11 defence. NO. 9. COMMUNICATION, To tho Editor 01 Tun PUNT.
