Dn OILTIC,—The Dramatic entertain-

day evening last, by the Juvenile dra-

attendance was very fair, and the sev-

her usual efficiency.;.
THOSE LAMPS.—We would again call
the. attention of the town authorities to
I the fact that the street lamps should be
ligFhted during these dark nights. It is
ajh ame that those who require to be
oit after night are forced, these dark.
nights, to grope their way along the
walks at the imminentperil of breaking
their limbs, when, at a cost of a few
cents, the streets! might be nicely light -

PERJURY CASE. --Oh Tuesday last, a
Mr. Connell, of Carrick, was brought
before Messrs. Harris,GibsQn and Kahle,
J. P.s, at the instance of Mr. James
Halliday, of Howick, on a charge of
committing perjury at a similarly con-
stituted court nearly a year ago. The
melancholy fate of the young woman,
and the circumstances which led to it
were so fully reported at the time that
only a very brief accountwill be neces-
sary. About a year ago the- eldest
daughter of Mr. Halliday committed
suicide by taking a dose of strychnine,
which was supposed to have been pro-
cured by Mr. Connell who, it appears,
had been keeping company with the in-
dividual young woman for some, time
previous. Immediately after her death
he was brought before a bench of magis-
trates, but the prosecution failing to
procure sufficient • i evidence, result-
ed. in his , acquittal: Suspicions were
again •aroused - which led to i the
pre,'ent trial, the prosecutor charging
Co nell with perjury at the f rst trial,
but after hearing the evidences the pros-
ect 'on failed to establish the charge,
an the prisoner was acquitted accord-

corner of Ale -ander and Flora streets,
which is in a ery unsafe condition.
Finn LIMIT .—The Council have not
as yet passed -a by-law to, compel fire
walls to be built in certain limits. We
think it should be done at once. Such
a by-law would prevent any more
wooden. buildings going up in the busi-
ness parts of the town.
NEW BANK.—The Exchange Bank of
Canada have decided to open a branch
in.Brassels. sThey have rented an of;
fice in the Queen's Hotel. John Leckie
has been appointed manager for the
agency. The office is to be opened for
buginess by the 15th inst. This will be

Brussels and vicinity -which has been
long felt.

the School Board held on Wednesday

gaged : Miss A'. Smith, of Brussels, at
$325 ; Miss E. Campbell, of Hallett, at
the same salary ; and Miss E. Forsyth,
