G, Paton of Toronto against Oscar Dippel, a far- mer of Wallace, to recover $90.00 on a promissory note (with $21,00 added for interest),,,which had been given to the New Hamburg Sales Agency. and which Patonalleged had been sold to him before maturity. Dippel claimed that Paton was not the holder in due course and that no consideration had been given to Dippel for signing the note which was obtained from hi,n under certain misrepresentations made by the New Hamburg Sales Agency's agent. and claimed that the whole of their scheme was contrived in misrepresentation and fraud. After the action was threshed out the jury brought in a verdict to the effect that un consideration was given for the note and the same was obtained by Paton after it was due. The case aroused great interest and the court ronin was crowded with many farm- ers from the north ends of Perth and Huron where similar transactions are. alleged to have been putthrough by the same agent, with a great number of farriers Who are resisting payment. One interesting feature of the trial disclosed that the New Hamburg Agency went out of business. The De -minion Thresher & Implement Co„ Ltd., whose stock the New Ham- burg Agency was selling, went into. liquidation and the company whose stock patron alleged he paid in part consideration for getting these notes also went out of business. Whereas the proposition put tc the farmers was that by signing notes they would get stock in the Dominion Thresher and Implement Co. Ltd., which would enable them to buy farming utensils, vehicles and'antchinery, etc., at 40 per cent. below retail price, As a result of the jury's verdict, judgment was granted- in favor'. of the defendant Dippel with costs. ou Tuesday.

The 'following historical account of the execution of Count Egmont (AD, 1508) has been handed to The News. It is of peculiar tocal interest, Count -Egmont being an ancestor of various branches of. V'anE•gmond families in this district. 'During the night, the necessary Preparations for the morning tragedy had beets made in the great square of Brussels. It was the intention of gov- ernment overnmient to strike terror to the heart of the peopte by the exhibition of an impressive and appalling spectacle. The absolute .and irresponsible des- tiny which ruled them was to be made manifest by the immolation of these two men, so elevated by rank, power- ful connexion, and distinguished ser- vice. heightened The effect -would be by the character of the locality where the glooany Show was to be presetrted_ The great square of Brussels had al- ways a striking and theatrical aspect. Its architectural effects, suggesting in some degree the debased union be- tween Oriental and a corrupt Grecian art, accomplished in the. mediaeval midnight, have amazed the eyes of many generations. The', splendid Hotel de Ville, with its daring spire and -elaborate front, ornaneented one side of the place; directly 'opposite was the graceful but incoherent facade of the Brood-huis, now the last earth- ly resting place of the two disting- uished victims, w-ltile grouped around these principal buildings rose the fail tas'tic palaces of the Archers, Marin - ens, and of other guilds,with their fes- tooned wallsand toppling gables be- dizened profusely . with emblems, stee toes and quaint decorations. 'Phe place had been alike the scene of many a brilliant tournament and many a bloody execution. Gallant knights had contended within its pre- cincts, while bright eyes rained in- fluence from all those picturesque balconies and decorated windows. Martyrs to religious and to political liberty had, upon the same spot, en- dured agonies which might have rous- ed every stone of its pavement to mu- tiny or softened. them to pity. Here Egmont himself, in happier days, had often -borne -away the prize of skill or of valor, the 'cynosure of every eye; and hence, almost in the noon of a fife illustrated by many .brilliant ac- tions, -he was to be sent, by the hand - of tyranny, to his great account. On the morning of the 5th of June. three thousand Spanish troops were drawn up in battle array around a scaffold which had been erected in the centre of the square. Upon this scaffold, whish was covered • with black cloth, were placed two velvet cushions, two iron spikes, and a small table. Upon the table was a silver. crucifix. The provost=marshal, Spelle, sat on horseback below, with his red wand in 'his hand, little dreaming that for him a darker doom was reserved than. that of whiph he was now the minister, The executioner was con- cealed beneath -the draperies of the scaffold. • At eleven o'clock a company of- Spanish fSpanish soldiers, led by Julian Rom- ero. and Captain Salinas, arrived at. Egmont's chamber. The Count was ready for them. They were about to bind his hands, but he warmly pro tested against the indignity, and, op- ening the folds of his robe, showed them that he had himself shorn off his cotters, and made preparations for his death. His request was granted. Egmont, with the Bishop at his side, then walked with a steady step the shot -t distance which separated him from the place of execution. Julian Romero anti the guard followed him. Onhis way, he read aloud the fifty- first 1Psalrn - "Hear my cry,- 0 God. and give ear unto my prayer 1' He seemed to have selected` these scrip- tural passages as a proof that, not- withstanding the machinations of his enemies. and the cruel .punishment to which they had led him, loyalty to hie' sovereign was as deeply rooted and as religious a sentiment in his bosom as devotion to his God. "Thou wilt prolong the iCing's tile; and his years as many .generations. He shall abide before God forever 1 0, prepare mercy and truth which may preserve him" Such was "the remarkable prayer of the condemned on his way to the block. (Having •ascended the scaffold, he walked across it twice or thrice. He was 'dressed in a tabard or robe of red damask, over whichwas thrown a short black fnantle, embroidered in gold. He had ''a black silk hat, with black and white plumes, onhis heart. and helda handkerchief to -his hand. As he strode to and fro;' he expressed a ,bitter regret that he had not been permitted to die, ,word in For Frost Bites and Chilblains.--- Chiiblaias mite front undue exposure to shish and colts and frost -bite from the icy winds of winter, In the treat- ment :of either 'an excellent prepara- tion is 'Df.

Sanguine to the last, he pas- sionately asked ,Romero whether the. sentence was really irrevocable, whe- titer a pardon was not even then to be granted. The tnars'hal shrugged his. shoulders, murmuring e. negative rhe - ply. Upon this, lEgtnont gnashed is teeth together, rather in rage than in despair. 'Slfortly afterward .command- ing ihimself again, he threw aside his robe .and mantle. and took the badge ', of -the ,Golden iFleece from his neck. Kneeling, then, upon one of the cush- ions, he said the (Lord's .Prayer aloud, and requested the bishop, who knelt at his side, to repeat it thrice. After this, the,prelate gave him :the silver crucifix to kiss, and then pronounced his blessing upon hint.„ This do the 'Count rose again to his feet, laid aside his hat and handkerchief, knelt again upon the cushion, drew a little cap' over his eyes, and, folding his hands together, cried with a loud voice, "Lord, into thy hands I -com mit my spirit" The executioner then suddenly appeared, and severed his -head 1rom;his shoulders at a single SPRING PRUNING, I,f pruning is to be done this spring it is hest that it be completed before the sap is flowing to any extent.

(When they were concluded, he rose again to his feet. Then drawing a Milan cap complete- ly over his face, and uttering, in Latin, the same invocation which Egmont had used, ice submitted his neck to the stroke. !Egmont 'had obtained, as a last favor, that his execution should pre- cede' that ,of his 'friend, 'Deeming him- self in part to blame forHorn's re- appearance in 'Brussels after the ar- rival of Alva, and for his death, which was the result, he wished to be spared the pang of seeing him dead. -Gemma Frisins, the astrologer who had cast the horoscope of Count Horn at his birth's trad come Ito hips ire the most solemn manner to warn him against visiting Brussels. 'The. Count had answered stoutly that he placed his trust in God, and that. moreover, his friend Egmont 'was going thither also, who had engaged that no worse fate . should i befall the one of them- the other. The heads of both sufferers were noiv exposed for two hours upon the iron stakes. Their bodies,placed in coffins, remained' during the same in- terval upon the scaffold. Meantime, notwithstanding the presence of troops, the populace could not be re- strained from tears and execrations. Many crowded about the scaffold, and dipped their handkerchiefs in the blood, to be preserved afterwards as imemorials of the crime, and as en- signs of .revenge. The bodies were afterwards deliv- ered to their friends: A -stately pro- cession of the guilds, accompanied by many of the clergy, conveyed their coffins to the church of Saint Gert- rude. Thence the 'bod'y of Egmont Was carried to .the convent of Saint Clara, near the old 63russets gate, where it was emblamed. His escut- cheon and 'banners were lung upon the outward wall' of his residence, by order of the Countess, 'By command of Alva, they Were immediately torn down. His remains were afterwards conveyed to his city of Sottegem. in Flanders, .where they: were interred. Count ,'Porn was entombed at Kemp- en. The bodies had been removed from the soaffold at two o'clock. The heads remained' exposed' betweerr burning torches for two hours long- er. They were then taken down, en- closed in -boxes, and, as it was gener- ally supposed, despatched to, Madrid, The 'King' was thus enabled to look- upon the dead feces of his victims. without the trouble of a journey to the provinces. Thus died-- -Philip Montmorency, Count of Horn, and Laneoratt of Eg- mont, Prince of Gaveren.—Motley, A moment or shuddering silence succeeded the stroke. The whole vast assembly seemed to have felt it in in their own heads. Tears fell from the eyes even of the !Spanish soldiery, for they knew and honored Egmont as a valiant general. The French ambassador, Mondoucet, looking upon the scene from a gecret place, whisp- ered that he 'had now seen the head fall before which 'France had twice trennbled.'Tears were even seen upon the iron cheek of Alva, as, from a window in a house directly , 'opposite the scaffold, he looked out upon the. scene. A dark cloth was now quickly thrown over the body, and the blood, and, within, a few minutes, the Ad- miral was seen advancing through the crowd. His bald head ,awes uncovered, his hands were unbound, He calmly saluted such of his acquaintances as he chanced to recognize upon his. path. Under a black cloak, which he threw off when he had ascended the scaffold, he wore a ,plain, dark doub- let, and' he did not, like Egmont, wear the insignia of the Fleece. 'Casting his eyes upon the corpse, -which lay covered with the dark cloth, he asked if it were' the body of Egmont.
