On Tuesday in Hamilton, an old
man named Henry Johnson, vyalking on
Catharine street, was teased. by a num-
ber of children., who made offensive re-
marks and threw stones at him. Be-
aeraing exasperated., he picked up a
stone void threw it at his tormentors,
but the missile struck a baby girl in the
arras of her sigter, causing a deep
wound in her face, which may prove
very serious. Johnson, whose regret at

—A good deal of excitement was oc-
casioned in the business centre of Lon-
don, on Saturday Morning, by a chase
after a dog supposed to be mad, and
which had. bitten in a -vicious manner a
, little boy. The animal was of the
eoach-dog species, and. belonged_ to Mr.
John Reid, hotel keeper. The boy's
cheek and. neck were bitten severely,
and he will Garry the scars all his life.
Several, persons took part in the chase,
' some firing at the animal as it flew along
the street. Finally it ran into the Crys-
tal Hall, where it was dispatched by a
ball from a pistol.
—During the hearing of some liquor
cases at Hamilton thother day, Mr..
Begui a legal gentleman of Dundas, and.
Mr-Catscallen, his confrere of Hardil-
ton, fell out. Mx. Begu called the oth-
er a blackguard, li.nd received a sound-
ing slap on the nose for hie compliment.
The blood ran freely. A spectator cried
" Eloorall for Carscallen," and the wild-
est excitement prevaileci for a time,
His Worship insisted on. an apology from
Mr.' Carsca,llen, which was granted as
far as regarded the court only. Mean-
while, MI. 13eku has entered, an action -
for assault. ' .
. —Last Sun4y afternoon, about 5
o'clock, a, barn belonaing to Mr. Richard
Morgan, was burned. A little girl,
daughter of his son, john Morgan, ex -
Reeve of Adelaide, who was in the
building, was burned to death. The
little girl was about three years old,and
it seems that she and her little brother
were playing in the barn, when it took
fire: Some suppose& that the ' fire
originated from the heating of the grain
with which the barn was filled. It was
only with difficulty that the boy was
sa,ved. The charred remains of the
child were found the next morning.
—Moise Rocheleau, an industrious
stone -mason, ofi West Farnham, 'mar-

—Mr. R. J: Hewitt, of East Gam-

Queer Case.
On Tues ay last a farmer from
Waterloo County registered at the Rus-
sell House in this city. The object of
his stay here was not apparent at first;
but it soon trauspired that he was on
th.e lookout for his wife; who he alleges
ran awayf Item him about four years
ago, taking with her on. her departure ar
cheque for $5,500, the proceeds of a
sale of land., she first taking the pre-
caution to turn the valuable slip of
paper into cash. He did not learn
anything of her ,whereabouts until
lately, when a, friend of the husband.
who had resided here saw the -woman
and. communicated the fact to him.
He came on here it appears to look her
up, and see if he could. not induce her
to refund him at least a portion of the
meney, and. sign. off her dower in the
ilatids he still possessed, as he wished
to sell them. He found the woman
living here with araan doing business
on St. Paul street, who was reputed. to
be her lawful husband. He said if she
would give him 51,000 and. sign off- her
dower he would not further molest her.
She, it is said., agreed to- this arrange-
ment, and promiSed to meet him at
one of the banks in the city and hand
him over the money. But at the time
appointed she failed to connect and has
not been. seen since. The lawful bus -
bend was naturally much incensed at
this latter iduplici y, and went to the
residence of the av'fe, and husband. No.
2. But he foun ' the door fastened..
He, not to be ba,u11:ed,burst in the door,
but no one wag to be seen on the
premises. Where are various stories
told of the latter affair. One • is that
hasban.d No. -1 secured a pistol to,
avenge himself on husband. No. 2 and
his faithless spous . Another yarn is
that husband. No, 2,did the same thing.
However that ma be we do not know.
