Last week some mean spirited wretch
shaved the -mane and tail of a mare belonging
to Mr. Wm Cash, of McKillop. The outrage
is all the more dastardly in view of the fact
that Mr. Cash is at present in Algoma. No
reason can be assigned for the small act, es•
cept it be that Mr. Cash belongs to the Board
of License Commissioners.

Parliamentary Notes.
The Government had 19 majority in the
vote on the Queen's County election case on
Wednesday night.
Mr. Masson has presented a petition from
the Presbyterian Synocle of Toronto and King.
ton protesting against the proposal to exempt
wine and beer from the operation of the Scott
dot, and praying that the Act may not be
weakened in its restrictive provisions.
Mr. Guillet and Mr. Hudspeth on Thurs.
day presented petitions from the Corporations
of Cobourg and Lindeay reciting that the Scott
Act had been the means of seriously impairing
the municipal revenues and had not produced
the results anticipated by its promoters, and
should be repealed by Parliament.
Mr. Charlton has presented a petition from -
the Presbyterian General Assembly of Canada
asking for the improvement of the laws for
the punishment and prevention of crimes
,h,.agaiust women. The Assembly, through
their:petition, call attention. to the anomaly
in the law which protects young women of
property or expectations from abduction, by
Making the offence a felony, pnniehable by
fourteen years' - imprisonment, but leaves
their less fortunate sisters to their fate,except
when aotual force has been used. They re•
oommend the adoption of the law lately
enacted bythe Imperial Parliament,with such
modifications and extensions as may be deem•
ed necessary.
According to returns received by •the De-
partment of Agriculture, the total arrivals of 1
immigrants in the Dominion from January 11.
1887, to April 30th last were 30,864 as com-
pared with only 22,723 in the corresponding I
period oflast year.. Of the total 17,609 settl-
ed in -the Dominion. The settlers locating in
the Ncrth west this spring have been mainly`
from Great Britain. The arrivals, however,
include a number of Seandinavians, as a re-
sult of the favorable representations made by
relatives who Fettled in Manitoba and the
North.weet.last--year. The officials of the
Department are of opinion that the tide of
Scandinavian immigration which has set in
will increase.
A return in answer to a motion by Mr.
Gordon. shows that from ,January 1Itb,1886,
to March 31st, 1887, there arrived 797 Chin.
sea at different ports of the Dominion. At
Victoria, B. C., 787 ; at Montreal, -1 ; at Em-
erson, 1 ; and at Port Arthur, 8. The
amount of duty collected was $6,350. The
amount paid to British Columbia under the
Chinese Restriction Act during the same pe-
riod was $2,525. The number of Chinese
entered under return certificates was 246, and
there entered as students men of science or
travellers;. 424 Chinese. The cost of admin
ietering the Chinese Restriction Act for the
fiscal year was $162,926.
Sir Charles Tapper, Minister of Finance, in
an interview concerning the protest of the
, British manufacturers against the Canadian
from dutiee,said:-No further changes will be
made despite the representations made by the
Colonial Secretary. A similar •protest was
made in 1879 when the tariff resolntions went
into effect but it was only temporary, because
the English manufacturers soon discovered
that the changes simply tended to increase
Canada's prosperity without affecting the
imports from Great Britain. The result
will prove the same in the present in-
stance. Oar trade relations with England
will if anything be strengthened, while the
impetus to be given to our riob etore of iron
and coal will go a long way toward building
up a powerful British- nationality in this
country.
The Toronto World . stated on Wednesday
that Hon. Edward Blake was positively going
to retire from public life on account of ill.
health, and the Globe contradicts this as fol-
lows :-"The cireumetantial story of Mr.
Blake's intention to resign the Liberal leader-
ship at the close of the session, as published
in several Tory organs of to day, creates a
good deal of amusement here. The report
was deliberately concocted out of whole cloth
for the purpose of a morning sensation and
its value is estimated accordingly. The Lib-
erals in the House are entirely satisfied with
the present arrangement by which the man-
agement of the Opposition is directed by the
advieary committee, and Mr. Blake does not
seek nor would' not ho be permitted to retire
from th e position of supreme control which
Aa he now holds with the most hearty approval
of every member of the party.

A six-year-old son of Mr. George T.

indulging in the pleasures of a swing on
Monday. A meat hook in the shed roof
attracted his attention, and as he flew to-
wards the hook he tried to see if he could
touch it. The fleshy part of the right
hand caught in the hook and pulled him'
from the awing, and he hung in midair by
the band until his cries brought relief. He
was taken to a doctor's.

"CHEAPSIDE"
The Great Gash Man, alias The Poor
Man's Friend.
In the Record this week, The Great Uash Man, alias The Poor Man's Friend,
l says, this ends our say.
CHEAPSIDE says AmAmen Amen, Aen, Brother. --If you had attended to your
T - own busiaes'sa(as the other merchant done,) in the first instance, it might have
been more to your credit now, as you forced "C HEAPS tDE" into a contest, who
was very much opposed going into, but had to do, as this Great Cash Man; ever
since he 'opened out, has always been harping to hold himself up as Tho Poor
Man's Friend. Cheapside says he is, if not more so, as intelligent as this Great
Cash man. Cheapside would ask the public, who drew this unfortunate family
before the people in the first place: why this.Great Cash Man alias the Poor Man's
Friend., who only sells for cash, "WHAT," CASH, (no Credit, no:) He, fellow
citizens, drew them up Co Goderich in the first place, (lost the suit) t'len had
their household effects drawn up town and sold. As regards the privilege of ad-
vertising your goods, Cheapside was not aware that he was the means of hinder-
ing The Great Cash Ivian advertising to his heart's content, so•long as he paid for
it, the Poor printers would be glad. Cheapside will end.. his little say now, and
would infortn this Great Gash Man alias The Poor Man's Friend, that he was hero
in Clinton clerking for Messra.al'Win & Liodgens over 20 years ago, long before
this usurper calling himdelf the Poor Man's Friend was ever heard of. Cheapside
says Amen. •
