The Walkerton Herald eaye in
speaking of the Fall Assizes:—The
monotony of the wituees lox was
agreeably varied ono day by the evi-
dence of a clergyman. The Rev. Mr,
Baugh, of Ripley, was called to testi-
fy in a case of bigamy. Mr. Baugh
is a gentlemanlylooking man, of
clerical aspect, and highly intelligent
appearance, In all probability he
had never boon in a court before,
and bad no idea how to give legal
evidence. The lawyers bothered and
bewildered him every few minutes
by stopping his description with the
announcement "that's not evidence.
Te11 us what you know, not what you
think." A. legal education destroys
the imagination by trying the mind
down to fade. Theology, on the
contrary, develops the fancy, and al-
lies the understanding with the mus-
ings of poetry. A clergyman is apt
to think hie thoughts aro facto. Mr.
Baugh, in despair, rend the marriage
service for the judge, who appeared
to enjoy it, while Mr. Macdougall re•
marked with a groan, "we've all been
there." The bigr.mist was finally
convicted, and sent to the central
prison for six months.

Me. EDITOR,—With your permission I
desire to offer a few statements regarding
the Grey Plowmans' Aseooiation, and mare
particularly that spongy lump of moral
pollution rolled out to the light of day by
11. White, in your lust issue. Now, it seems
ELM if his article was written for no other
purpose than to vent his spleen on two of
the Directors of whom he appears to enter-
tain an intense hatred, and would like to
make it appear are sadly lacking in princi-
ple. I may say here that this is the same
ma4 who, when Secretary of the Associa-
tion some three years ago, would not and
has not yet handed over the books to his
successor, or to the Auditors, thereby caus-
ing inconvenience to the Association, and
further this is be who last year went home
with his plow on the morning of our match
for the reason, it is generally supposed,
that the plowman who beat him at one of
our previous matches was on the ground
with his plow. Further—this is the man
who this year at the residence of Mr. En-
nis would not pay over to the Treasurer
monies he had colleoted in aid of the Asso-
ciation go that the prizes could be paid out,
and yet be has the cheek to pall members
of the Association "duffers." Now, Sir, I
will not attempt to answer all in his art.
solo, most of which is nothing more than
a boy's twaddle—a very young boy at that.
The statement that a horse was lead in an-
other class is false, and with regard to as -
slating 'a young plowman,' as he terms it,
I may say that boys were allowed assist-
ance. There is no getting over the fact
that leading a horse ahead of the one draw-
ing the plow is virtually driving the team.
He says "I have seen that same leading
the horse over and over again at many a
match," yes, but he does not say that such
plowmen forfeited their right to a prize,
unless otherwise provided for in the rules.
"What does the AEeociatiou intend doing
with the medal?" he asks. Well, if he bad
been at the meeting, instead of being in an
adjoining room, he would know all about
that as it ie no secret. I will say nothing
further on the matter at present, only that
the affairs of the Association have always
been managed efficiently and well, without
fear or favor to anyone since its organiza-
tion, and with the exception of this one
man who it appears is subject to spells of
that fell disease, called ohronie grumbling,
the best of harmony has always prevailed
among its members. Yours,
Grey, Nov, 10th, 1885. A Dmacroe,

Au old resident is responsible for
the following reminisconoe, says the
St. Thomas Times :—A good many
years ago people were startled by a
report respecting a young man in the
western part of what was then called
Upper Canada. He went out to the
woods one morning to fell timber.
During the day he felled a tree which
lodged. He attempted to fell anoth-
er on the first one to bring it down
but did not succeed, He went up one
of the leaning trees to attempt to die.
lodge them, when buddenly the up-
per tree fell and caught tho young
man's foot between the two, at the
same time throwing him over back-
wards 80 that his shoulders just
touched the snow. He was alone far
in the woode and his voioo could not
reauh Lie friends, and it being a cold
day he must soon perish. But be
was a mall of strong will and equal
to the occasion, He took his kuife
from his pocket and out the flesh
around the bone of the imprisoned
leg. As be came to the artery he
held it until the cold congealed the
blood and then proceeded. If he
felt bis.strength beginning to fail he
bathed his fano with snow. When ho
bad the bone bare ire reached his axe,
and with 0118 blow severed it and Wits
free. He crawled out of tLe woods
across a field to the road where a
passing team took him home. That
young man was afterwards a member
of our Dominion Parliament, a Oab•
inet Minister, and is now known as
Mr. Justice O'Councr, a strung per-
sonal friend of Rev, Fatlier Flannery,
of this city.
