The visitor was standing by the fire when I entered. He was a tall, powerful man -a perfect giant compared to my "five feet six;" and his great badly black hair and whiskers were well fitted to the monstrous form. • '1f you are at liberty, doctor, please come with me. It is but a few steps and you will not need a carriage," I put on my coat and hat and followed him. It was my first cull in L., and I fondly hoped it was the forerunner of many others. The man strode ahead of me all the time, notwithstanding seny endeavors to ke( p at his side, and spoke not a word, not even answering my queations.

This isan action brought by Mr. P. ROSH against the Corporation of the County of Bruce for extra work performed by him as Contractor for the constructiona of cer- tain gravel roads for the Count?. At a late Aesaes a verdict .was takenefor $50,- 000, subject tothe award of Thos. Holmes, Esq., and Thos. Gibson, Esq., and such third person as they might select. These gentlemen both concurred in appointing Jos. Whitehead, Esq., M. P.,aas -umpire. On the and inst., a emoting of the arbitra- tors, for the purpose of taking evidence and procecclin,g with the case, was appoint- ed to take place at Winghani. On the and the arbitrators and a large number of witnesses, in pursitance of this appoint ment, met at Wingliam, from which place, after proceeding with the case for a day, by consent of the plaintiff and defendants, and their counsel, the further hearing of !the case was adjourned to Cliiiton tor the. 17th inst. Yesterday and the day before a large number of witnessea. and gentlemen fcoiu Bruce arrived in town, and in pur- suance of the appointment the case was opened, in Core's Hall. David Glass, Esq,, of London, and L. C. Moore, Ese., Deputy .Judge for Bruce, appeared as counsel for plaintiff, and Christopher Robinson, Esq Q C of Toronto, and Alexander Shaw, Esq., of Walkerton, appeared for the defendants. The Hall presented the appearance, of a, Division Court day from the number of witnesses present. We understand that it is not expected that the case can be closed this week, no less than six CiviL,Engineets alone, we believe, having to be 'examined. We may remark in connection with this case that we notice in the Bruce Herald a very scurrilous and abusive aeticleconcerra ing the arbitrators, or at least two of them, Mr. Whitehead and Mr. Gibson, the lat- ter gentleman being the arbitrator for the County. Mr. Gibson is violently accused of partiality to the plaintiffand Mr. White- head is suspected of participeting• with him in such paatiality. That gentlemen occu- pying- the positions of Mr. 'Whitehead and Mr. Gibson, arbitrators upon an important public question, should be thus talked about, before the determination of their duties, is a shame and a scandal to any journalist, and should be dealt with in the same manner a certain great ORACLE in Toronto was the other day dealt with, viz: by way of criminal informatton. It is a consolation, however, to know that Mr. Whitehead mid Mr. Gibson are aboves,be-, ing influenced by such silly twaddle, nor are their public characters likely in any way to suffer. We can assure our contem- porary that in their hands justice will be done its County. -New Era. The case is being continued. - An Artist m Search of a Wife. A STR1NGE DELUSION. At theMarlborough street (London)Po- lice Court, recently Jelin Wornell artist, an elderly person of respectable appear- ance, was summoned for using threatening language to Louisa Hayward, "whereby she goes in bodily fear.' The complai- nant, a young woman, said she was a ser- vant to Mr Johnson, Blue Posts Totten- ham -court -road, For some time past the defendant was in the habit of waylaying her as she went out with her master's chil- dren in the perambulator, walking back- wards and forwards befaite the house, look- ing up at the window and whenever he had an opportunity he threatened her with what he would do if she did not return to her home. bit Tyrwitt : Do you know the defendant ?- Complainant: He is a stranger to me. - Defendant: Why, she is my wife. She has denied her naine. I want denied her name. I waut rights. Myrwill : if you want your rights you must go to Lord Pen- zance. I cannot settle such matters. - Complainant: Your Worship I never was married. I am keeping company with a young man who tries to protect me from the defendant. The local constable Mid- dleton, said, about four weeks ago, hearing a great disturbance .by a mob, the defen- dant accusing the complainant of being his wife; defend ant said he could iden tify her as his wife- she had two false teeth in front of her month, and one of the brides- maids who lived in the neighborhood would also prove she was his wife. He called o the lady as requested, and she said sh'e -was present at the defendant's wedding, and she was positive the complainant was not his wife. Defendant I say she is; 1 know her by her two false teeth. °orate- ble : I called on the complainant and ex- amined her teeth in the presence of the defendant. They were all sound; and the defendant apologised, and I thought there was an end of the matter; but it appears the defendant haunts the street, so that she is afraid to go anywhere. Defendant: The altercation alluded to by the consta- ble was between me and a young man, who threatened to break my ribs and knock my head off if 1 spoke to his young woman. She is my wife, and that I am prepared to prove. Her sister, Mrs Shep- herd°, is in court, and she will prove that I married her. Mrs Shepherd here entered the witness -box, and said: The defendant married my sister. The young woman in court_is not the person. She is a, stranger to me. Defendant: What, not the person I married! I can identify her, and will undertake to do so. Mr Tyrwitt : It is astounding to what length a respectacle man will go when he hail got a crotchet in his head. You are evidently laboring un- der an hallucination, and as it has been proved that you act towards the young woman so as to put her in bodily tear, 1 must require you to find bail to'keep the peace for six mouths. Bully end Omani. Mow York Correspondence Chicago Republican.] All men of the world know that it is a bad policy to quarrel with newspapers, which are ten -thousand -handed and ten - thousand -tongued. For an individual to attempt to make war upon or even defend himself against the press is like the effort of the ancient lady to sweep out the At- lantio ocean with a broom. Journalist as em, I have never had any doubt that newspapers in this country are a despotism, and that they very frequently exercise their overwhelming power in the most un- just and cruel manner. If all writers for the press were as they ought to be, care- ful, conscientious, and honorable gentle- men, the power they possess Might- be in- trusted with some safely to their hands. But many of them, I am mortified to say, are almost the opposite of such, and when a private citizen is attacked as often hap- pens here, without cans& or provocation, it is difficult to decide how he should act. A certain gentleman -I will not mention his name --recently settled this question for himself. The responiiibIe eclitor of a lournal notorious for tiar unscrupulousness and indistniminate abuse ofeveaybody,saw fit to meted as a target ene who had never injured him, andi whose repwtation was alorree reproach.. Paragraph after para- graph of the falsest and most contemptible kind was, leveled at the gentle:mu; accom- panied with every variety of, vulgar, and dasterdly innuendo, until at -last he deter- mined to stand it no -longer. Ile had writ- i ten no cards ; had said nothingto anybody. He simply went to the private office ofthe. editor ; told him calmly but distinctly how unjestifiable, contetnptible and cowardly his conduct had been ; that he had newish. to appear as e bully or bravo, or toseek to intimidate by threats, "but," he added, "I want you, Mr.—, distinctly to under- stand, that if pm ever attack me again through the colnmns of your paper when I have done nothing whatever tome offence er excite continent, I shall make it very serioes for one or both of us. There is no protection through law foroutrages of this sort, and 1 am resolved, therefore, to pro - tett myself.. I sin %Ming to overlook the pest; but if you give me any new cense for offence, prepare yourself for a desper- ate issue. Uadess you kill me first,I will kill you wherever found. Good morning. I don't suppose the editor was intimida- ted ; but from that day to this thegentle- man's name has never been mentioned in, that journal. s A LOVE STORY. -The Figaro relates the following romantic story :-"The Prince of Schleswig-Holstein, on his return from a scientific voyage which lasted for several years, found his library in a state of great disorder. He asked his steward to recionimend some one who could re- arrange it, and the latter person replied that the only person he was acquainted with was a young lady who acted as companion to his wife. This young person, Mdlle. Varnielita Eieenblatt, is the (laugh- ter of a merchant at Calcatta, who was folmerly in wealthy circumstances, but on his meeting with a reverse of fortune his children were obliged to earn their own living, and the young lady in questiol had even appeared on the stage. She accepted the proposals made to her; and on entering upon her duties the Prince found her so well educated and so intelligent, that he was quite charmed, and at las& made her an offer of marriage. The union is to take place in a few days, and- the bridegroom has applied to the King of Prussia for permission to lay aside his princely rank and assume the title of Count de Boes, so that the marriage shall not be a morganatic one." An exchange says: A fighting man has been eurployed on this piper. He weighs eight hundred pounds. His wrists are the very tools of death; his hair is short; his eyes black; his boots are No. 12; 0,he is a monster, this fighting man of ours! He goes for men like an ant for new cheese.
