Lindsay, a Milton man, has been fined. $100 and costs for a second violation of the Scott Act. Acton village is taxed at the rate of 22 mills on the dollar, being an in- crease of 8 otitis since 1888. The people of Qu'Appelle statim: are excited over the discovery of coal within the limits of the town, and they are hard at work showing stamp. ies and organizing a company. A boy named George Smith, living in 'Vest Tilbury, Essex County, tried to pick the ball out of a cartridge shall on Tuesday, when the powder flashed and the ball entered his right shoulder below the blade. A. doctor made a futile attempt to remove the ball. The wound is serious and may prove fatal, The man who runs the Birtle Ob- server has developed a streak of hum- or, ab will be observed by the follow- ing paragraph from that paper :— "So many wild ducks are devoured in Manitoba this season that it is feared the population will soon be covered by feathers. In fact, many of the ladies have feathers on their heads already." The Arthur Enterprise Bays : —J. Mitchell, of Arthur, and Abe Mellen. ny, of West Luther, shot a large black bear on Thursday last, on the farm of John Dennis, lot 17, con. 5, WestLuther. The parties surprised the bear while asleep, but bruin heard the noise made by cocking the rifle and before the trigger was pull- ed grabbed the rifle by the middle, but as Mr. Mitchell is a prime shot and had his rifle at liberty, he die- pe.tohed his bearehip with the first shot. An interesting life insurance case was tried at the Civil Assizes last week at Toronto. In December, 1888, George Miller, a farmer of Markham, insured to the Confedera- tion Life for $10,000 on the endow- ment plan for twenty years. In June of the next year Miller and his fam- ily removed to Manitoba, where he died on the 18th of August following. The company refused to pay the amount of the policy, on the grounds that Miller, m his answers to ques- tions made in his application paper, falsely concealed unfavorable medical examinations in connection with oth- er organizations ; that at that time he was suffering from constitutional ailment of the Innge, had suffered hemorrhage and was of diesapated habits, all of which he concealed. After the evidence had been submit- ted the jury retired, and brought in a verdict for the full amount of the policy with interest and costa. About one o'clock on Wednesday morning of last week, the citizens of Orangeville were aroused by two loud explosions which occurred within a few minutes of each other. On in. vestigation'itwas found that a das- tardly attempt had been made to wreck two private residences in town —one occupied by our newly appoint. ed Police Magistrate, F. Monra, and the other by Thos. Anderson, Pro- vincial Constable, The cause of the oat'ege appears to be the commence- ment of prosecutions against violators of tue Scott Act by these offiicals. The front doors of both houses were blown in and all the glass in the win- dows was broken. Fortunately no injury was sustained by the families and occupants of the houses, except natural fright caused by the exploit. ion. Great indignation is expressed on all hands against the scoundrels who committed the crime. A. reward has been offered for their conviction. The Monetary 'Times says :—A representative of the Monetary Times met. in the county of Waterloo the other day, a stirring agent for one of the Old Country life companies. This philanthropic agent had better look out lest he shares the fate of Dr. F. B. McCormick, of Pelee 'eland, who was fined last week by the Medical Council of Ontario for practising without a license among the 400 dwellers on that sportsman's and vinegrower'e paradise, and scorning to pay his fine chose to go to Sand- wich gaol. Soliciting insurance, this agent has provided himself with a supply of vaccine points, and made it a condition with any intending in• surer that the latter must be vacci- nated, the agent performing the op. oration, and charging therefor before delivering the policy. We may next hear of a fire agent proffering hand grenades to his patrons, or insisting on their buying Fire king extinguish- ers before lie will take a risk on their property, Surely the Montreal amallpox scare has been "boomed" enough without extending its range 400 miles west. The Burlington Bay canal tolls have been reduced to 1.8 of 't dant, Proehtmatiou is made for au oleo - lien under the Canada Temperance Act for the repeal of the Act in Frod- sriektoo, N. B. Election day, 12th November. The Sluice() bakers aro selling two pound loaves of bread for 5e—a do. aline of one cont from scale pri ccs. Competition in the bread making busiuose must be keen in Siluooe. Au epidemic of diphtheria is over- running Saxton and parts of Ilunt. ingdou and Bedford counties. Schools have been closed and churches and Sunday Schools will not bo opened until the danger subsides. A dissipated young man named Langton, living near Tecumseh, Es- sex Oonnty, made a wager on Tues- day that he could drink a quart of raw whiskey in half an hour. Ile lost the bet and nearly died from the effects of the liquor. A physician sat up with him all night. II. Tottenham, an implement ag- ent at Meaford, Ont., left there a week ago on a yacht, ostensibly on a hunting tour on the north shore of Georgian Bay, but it being di ¢cover- ed he was a forger he was followed by interested parties with a steam tug, and overtaken in Windham Bas- in, Lake Huron, as he was making for the United States. The trial of the Indians charged with the murder of Payne and Tre- mont has been concluded at Battle. ford, both being found guilty an the clearest evidence. Judge Rouleau, in passing the death sentence, told the prisoners he could hold out no hopes of mercy. He sentenced them to be hanged on the 27th November, the day on which the unfortunate men previously condemned will meet their fate. The three councillors who signed the celebrated Pound - maker letter were eentenced to two years each in the penitentiary. The Montreal Star :—The Secre- tary of the Riel Defence Association in Montreal has addressed a commun- ication to the Dominion Government notifying it of the departure of 11Ir. Fitzpatrick for England, and praying for a further reprieve. No stipulatcd delay is mentioned, but it ie intimat- ed that sufficient time should be giv- en to allow the case being fully gone into. Oharles Russell, Q. 0. one of the most prominent members of the London bar, who has been retained to argue the appeal, writes to the friends of the half-breed leader in Montreal informing them that he has studied the points raised, and finds them remarkably well taken. He has every confidence that the appeal will be sustained. I am informed by the most intimate friend of one of the Federal Ministers (says a member of the Defence Committee) that we will require to move heaven and earth to save Riel's head. James Trow, in a letter to the Stratford Beacon, describing a trip to the Northwest, says:—The next drive wae to what ie known as the Lowe farm, the property of John Lowe, secretary of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, distant about 11 miles west of Morris. The farm contains 12,000 acres, 450 of which are under cultivation. The wheat and barley wore badly injured .by frost, but the oats were a heavy crop, but were green, and I question they would ripen. There were on the farm 200 hogs and a small herd of cattle. I concluded this stock would be allowed to carry the pro- ceeds to market in the hides. The foreman or manager of this estate, Mr. Stephenson, ie a genius in hie way. He seems to be continually in- venting some new machinery or inn. plement which no other person would have thought of. His latest inven- tion ie a stove for 000king and heat- ing up the promises, made of sheet iron with a flue or large pipe through the partition, where he keeps a load of straw or weeds for fuel. Ho put in a forkful when we entered the apartment which speedily made the large room uncomfortably hot. It does not eoneume any more fuel than ordinary stoves, He has also invent- ed a steam plow and traction engine which turns over tan distinct furrows 14. inches each, or a little over 12 feet, and can plow 14 to 18 nares a day. 'Grass was the fuel used for the engine and 11. barrels of water was sufficient to plow an acre. . The cost would nob exceed $1 per acre for breaking and the second plowing oould be done for 80 cents per sore. Mr. Stephenson is now engaged in the construction of a machine that will thresh and gather the grain, food itself with fuel, press and bind the surplus straw for winter use, and plow the land—all at the same time. He started the engine with 00 lbs, of steam, which shortly rose to 00; afterwards ho lot the fire go down and the engine wag ploughing away with 25 lbs and stopped at 22. IMITATION IS FLAT'T'ERY. (Toronto Globe,) Nothing but good looney is coun- terfeited, So it is in Dr. I{organ's case since the introduotien specialism into Oanade by hint. Moro than a dozen speculative sharks from Tor- onto and variant) other points in the Dominion have hoisted their flags as "Specialists" and ery ant with a loud voles, "We are Canadians by birth, education and sentiment, why not patronize as 1" what au Induce- ment to hold out to the sick and de. formed. Because those imitators adopt a similar sounding name, copy Dr. Ksrgan'e advertisements and au- nounce themselves as Canadians, they expect the people of Canada who really need medical or surgical aid will turn out by the hundreds to see them instead of applying to old, reliable and experienced Specialists who can cure them. Health is the greatest of all blessings, and there are many who world willingly give their last dollar to obtain it, and these sharpers are just the ones to take even the last cent. Beware of them, they care not where they were you wore born, reared or educated, or to what political party you belong ; when you sea one you see the extent of their etafi; in number and intellect. Employ only those whom¢ you know from their age, experience and enc• cess to be thoroughly qualified to treat in the most skilful and scien- tific manner all organic diseases and deformities.
