The blow was struck with so much force that the axe went clean through and left a mark about an inch long on the sole of the boot, and almost severed his foot in two.

The court of trial of the West Huron Dominion election petition wasIppened at Goderich, on Monday, at 1000, Mr. Justice Falconbridge presiding. Mr. J. T. Garrow, Q. C., appeared for the peti- tioner, Mr. Thohnas McGillicuddy, of Goderich, journalist; Mr. Campion for the respondent, Mr. Porteit; and Mr. Philip Holt for Mr. M. C. q3meron, the respondent in the cross peti on. Mr. Garrow, on behalf of t e petition- er, addressing the -court tated that there were rio charges of coitrupt prac- tices against Mr. Porter per nal17. As to other charges of corrupt practices by agents, the evidence hebhad to offer was, he was afraid, quite 'insufficient to /sup- port them, and as they were at any rate of a trivial nature ; he submitted that the interests of public morality would be in no way prejudiced by the arrange- ment proposed by the parties, namely, to ask that an order be made dismissing the petition without costs to either party, and allowing the deposit paid into eourt by the petitioner to be paid out again to him. Mr. Campion, on behalf of the spondent, consented to this ordet beiag made. His Lordship, in making the order asked for, said that upon the facts, as -stated by counsel for both parties, he was warranted in assuming that corrupt practices had not prevailed to an& ex- tent in this electoral. district, and he should report to that effect to the Secre- tary of State. Mr. Holt, for the respondent, in the cross petition, said he had been served with a notice on behalf of the petitioner in that petition to the effect that there was no evidence to offer in that rnatter, and asked that "the counter -petition be disntissed with costs. No one appearing on behalf of the petitioner in the counter -petition, his Lordship made the order as asked. Thus endeth the last chapter of the West Huron election episode of 1887. —Mr. John Arbogast, of Downie, sold a fine two year old stallion colt, "Young Darnley," the other day, for something over $400, to Mr. Andrew Richards, of Cairo, Tuscola county, Michigan.
