On Jan. 9th when the afternoon train from Midland drew into the station at Orillia, among other pas'sengers who alighted were Chas. Hebner, his brother and a French- man named Philip Murriel. They made their way up town, Morrie! stopping at the Oriental Hotel. In the evening the Helmets; came a- round with the intentiun, accord- ing to their threats, of giving the Frenchman a thrashiug, but were promptly expelled by the proprietor of the hotel. The train left, at 9 o'clock, all being aboard and some- what the worse of liquor. Arriving itt Fleshertun, about sixteen miles --north- of 0rql-i-a7--a-a1-their place of residence, they alighted. , The train had hardly moved out when the Hebners attacked Morrie]. Charles knocking him down with a pair of skates he had strapped together. A !nen named Thos. Cartmill,. who witnessed the affair, tried to inter- fere, and was. also knocked down, but only slightly hurt. The Heti- ners kicked Morriel's face and body altnest into a jelly, and left him for dead. In it few minuted, be arose and walked to his boarding house, about it plater of a mile distant. He told them that the Helenas had been trying to murder him,' but they couldu't kill a Frenchman. Dr. Hanley, was immediately sent for, but arrived only ft fOW niinutes before Morriel died, about four hours after he had beeu beaten. The Hebners were arrested:, It is rumored that there is a woman at the butttnn of the alitir. ACCUSED OE MURDER., sAin TO BE A CANADIAN DONNA. New York, Jan. 14,—Nicktiamas °atm produce ludicrous mistakes. Fuer gifted young ladies who are boarding at it fashionable boarding- house nut far front Madison square, were in the habit of meeting in one of their number's room and having a jolly time gimerally. They are musicians and artists and are known to each other 39 RON nstein, Patti, Michael Angelo, aud Crieket. Patti has it divine soprano voice, Rubin- stein has wonderful skill as a pianist, Angelo is winning fame as a pupil in the Art League, and Cricket chirps, is beloved by them all and cfn do anything. They 'lovingly call each other Pat, Rube, Mike and Crick. The room where they met to rehearse and enjoy themselves adjoins that of rt dyspeptic bachelor. He did not know who ocenpied the room b o .use the entrance to it was in a different hallway. One night last week he retired early al111 WAS awakened by loud eiders : "Mike has f le floor 1 Hurrah, hurrah, hooray !" (limn the chorus.

It seems, however, that Mike did not have the floor, for a romp °centred and Pat an- nounced that he had the floor. (Loud cheerand laughed. "Shall Canada be annexed 1" -cried Pet. Two of the young ladies, by the bye, were from Canada. Great confusion followed and the answer was lost in it. "A lot of blasted Fenians," groaned the thoroughly, awakened bachelor. "They will kill some- body, have a watt!), and I shall be a witness." A wild roar of applause followed the rewarks of Pat, and the next tangible noise seemed to be a souffle between Rube and Crick, interlard- ed with such rernarka as "Never, never, though all the -guilty globe should blaze." Then several chairs were overturned. Finally quiet was restored, but only in order to hold a consultation, the prelimin- aries of which were to arrange for a duel then and there. The bache- lor's fright was something terrible. He heard thorn ask'who had pistols. Then steps wore counted and instant- ly the reports of two pistols were heard. Then a body fell heavily, and a voice said, "He is dead." 'Without hesitating, the bachelor, in Itis nightgown, rushed around and banged lotidly*an 'the dear. It was opened, and in he rushed, saying, excitedly, , "I accuse you- all of murder !" The sight that met his gaze did not freeze his blood,- but caused him to retreat faster than he came in. Four pretty young lad les, stylishly dressed, two holdino pistols in their hands, were stand- ing:in the middle of the room. They laughed with embarrassment at the apparition that had so sud- denly entered and accused them of murder. The secret of their noise was that they were rehearsing a comedy. The dyspeptic bachelor left the next day, declaring that he had been hoo-dooed and was not in his right mind. A SOLEMN pRoTEs.r. .The nonconformists of Ireland— mainly Presbyterians and Metho- -dists—have always been Liberals in politics. Their sympathies are with Mr. Gladstone. If they take ground against it—if they find themselves . . impelled to enter their solemn pro- Lestagainst Home Rule as demanded by the Parnellites and understood by Mr. Gladstone, it is because their fear of Home Rule is greater than their attachment to the party with which they have always been identified. And no greater condent• nation of Hume Rule cau be placed on recuad than the protest of nearly the whole body of .nonconformist clergymen in Ireland. Of these reverend gentlemen there are in the island 990. No less than 864 sigu- ed an address to the Earl of Salis- -terry and the Marquis of Harti-n-g- ton against Home Rule; 118 de- clined to sign ou the ground that as ministers of religion they ought uot to make any declaration in political affairs, and 8 declared themselves in f .vor of Horne Rule. The protest is as follows : We, the undersigned ministers of the Presbyterian, Methodist, Con- gregational and Baptist churches of Ireland, have seen with great regret the presentation of an address to Mr. Gladstoneasignecl by a consider- able number of nonconformist min- isters in England and Wales in favor of a scheme of Home -Rule for Ireland. We hold that the opinion of their brethren living in Ireland is entitled to far more weight than an expression of opinion from men who, however good their intentions, have little or no personal knowledge of the.state of things in Ireland.• We deprecate in the strongest manner, as disastrous to the best in of the country, a separate parliament for Ireland, or any legis-, Mien tending to imperil the legis lathe union between Great Britain and froland,or to interfere with the unity and the supremacy of the 1111- perial parliament. 'We do not believe that any ttliarau tees, moral or material, could be devised which would safeguard the rights of min- orities scattered throughout Ireland agasnst the encroachments of a ma- jority vested with legislative and executive functions. While Res fiuwiedging that in the past large sections of the Irish peo- "pie have suffered many wrongs, we helieve there are no grievances re- movable by legislation which cannot be removed by the imperial parlia- ment; while the establishment of a separate parliament for Ireland would most seriously aggravate many existing evils, and would pro- duce other evils greater than any that at present exist. • We especially claim the aid of our co -religionists in Great 'Britain in resisting strenuously any such policy, believing that it would de- ns of our rights of citizenship in this great empire. The people who know IlOrne Rulers best distrust them most. Their nearest neighbors stand in RDA _ fear of them. And not without cense. There has never been an uprising in Ireland which did not result in a butchery of Protestants. The nonconformists of Ireland have not read the history of their coun- try in vain. SAM JONES ON CHICAGO. Sam Jones has put Chicago by the ears last Sunday with a sermon he preached to 1,500 people, who paid 50 cents a piece to hear him spout. He ann3unced the subject of his lecture as 'get there, with the Eli left off.' The thread of the lecture was simply a paraphrasing of the idea that true success in life is only to be attained through earnest, honest and conscientious endeavor. Some of the characteristic illustrations and expressions used are these : 'The dude and the dudeen are the highest type of tnodern society. The Almighty never dreamed of a dude when He created Adam, and the whole business has got the start of the plan of creation. A dude is it little pimple oil the body of society, indicating that its blood is out of order. Did you ever wake • . up tn. the rnorning with it little white pimple. olt„. your face'? Well, that pimple is a dude and when ,.you squeeze it it is a dudeen.' 'ffell itself is only selfishness on fire.'ee 'There me some men in the world, but there are also it lot of these little fellows. A fly can sit on the nose of one of them and paw in one aud kick in the other. You can put 100 of such fellows in a sardine box, a one cent stamp on it and send them anywhere by mail.' 'You her some of these old Christians singing '0, to Be Noth- ing.' Yea old man nothing going nowhere, and old woman nothing going with him. What do you want to be nothing forl How can God crown -nothing, and bow can nothing play on a harp?' .'Never where there so many peo- ple simply trying to have a good time, to enjoy hog -heaven, plenty to eat and nothing to do. The highest atnbition of 9 out of 10 girls is to dance. There is some good in eat- ing, but my ! my ! my ! what good is there hi .cutting a pigeon ‘wing with the arm of a dude around you 1' `I don't believe we came from tadpoles and monkeys, but I do think many of -us are •headed jhat way uow.' 'I admire Chicago because it's alive : but you've got enough hell in this town to start a branch office of damnation; and you've got plenty of men ready and fit to take the place of the devil in running it, and good locations for the office on near- ly every corner.' 'If an angel should corne down from heaveu and aunouuce that not another Illan would die in Chicago for 100 yeats, and -you believed it, not a preacher in town cold(' get a salary above_$5 a year.'

HOW A YOUNG BRIDE WAS TRACED AND CAUGHT FOY HER ELDER- LY HUSBAND. Tuesday morning, a lit!le fater one o'clock a line -appearing old gentle- man, elegantly attired, called at the Central police station, Detroit, sc. compenied by Attorney Blodgett, and said to Sergeant High that his name was James A. Bodle and that he was a resident of Chicigo. Mr. Bodle told Sergeant High that he had traced his wife, a bride of eight months, to a hotel in this city, where she was registered with a man named the two occupying the same apartment. The sergeant at once detailed lloundsmen 1)eiller and Slater on the case, and the two offi.,9ers proceeded to . the Griffin house and, on examination of the register, found the incriptiun S, Griffin and lady, Chicago, Ill," Co's stores, on Wood street, fell The couple had been assigned to with an awr'll crash which was room 33. The room was entered, hoard for many squares. Although the couple awakened and ordered by Pooplo at a distance could nut under - the policemen to dress quickly, and stand what was wrong, the ominous in a few motnentee patrol waggon daubed up and the guilty pair were whirled away to police headquart- ers. Griffin is au engineer on the Michigan Central railroad, living at Saginaw. He is 28 years old, and single. Mrs Bodle is it petite brunette, not apparently over 28 years old. Mr. Bodle followed her on the same train from Chicago. She had expressed a great desire to visit a sister in Ypailanti, and he, suspecting •that. all was not right, bought her a ticket and took pas- sage on the same train, with above results. Both the partiee were look- ed up. COMMON SENSE RIME. t - SIR THOMAS GALT DECIDES AGAINST THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. Chief Justice Sir Thomas Galt gave judgment in the case of the Attorney -General 'of Ontario vs. ./Etna Insurance Co. Monday. This action, it will be remembered, is brought to recover $17,000 damages done to a wing of the London Insane Asylum to be divided among 26 different companies. His Lord- ship gave this decision :—This was tried before me at Toronto without a jury. There are 23 other i nsurince ....X.0111 pa n les. have,. each entered into a similar policy to that now sued on. I may state that the policy of the Government. of Ontario was the insurance of all Provincial buildings to one-half of their cost. The total value of risks on Government buildiugs is placed at $3,117,192 and the amount of insurance $1,564,940, which was distributed amongst 26 companies, namely, 24 defendants and two other companies, who do not dis- pute their liability and have paid their portion of the loss. With a view to ensure uniformity the Government has prepared it formal policy to be adopted by each 'com- pany which is subject only to the question. I have to decide as to whether or not the building in which the fire ()cowed is covered by insurance, under what is styled the main building, and what the parties intended when they entered into the contract: I attach no importance to what may be called "expert evidence" to the meaning of the term "main building.' When persons enter into it contract of insurance, or any other contract, they do so in accordance with what may be called coninton sense, and they are in accordance with the .meaning ' usually attached to .ardi- nary words, and aro not to have *their contracts sot aside by reason of some professional man ' attaching a different meaning to a common expression. • In tuy judgment the fact that the two other corporations have admit- ted their liability, and paid the same, is entitled to great weight. I find the term " main building," as used in the policy in this case, iucludes that portion under which the time occurred, and give judgment for the plaintiff with costs. The insurancecompanies an- nounce their intention to appeal. CYCLONE IN PENNSYLVANfA AT LEAST 60 KILLED AND 100 INJURED. Reading, Pa.; Jan. 9.—This is the saddest night in the history of Reading. A death -like pall hangs up- on the city as the result of the most %horrible disaster in its history. A hundred households are in mourn- ing as the result of one of the great- est calamities in Pennsylvania. A cyclone swept over the northern tection of the city and laid waste everything within its reach, with terrible loss of life. The livs th have been sacrificed and the num- ber that have beeninjured cat only be estimated. The only re- liable computation at 10 o'clock to- night is that not less than 60 per- sons have been killed outright and 100 injured. Persons residing along the track of the storm say that they saw the first signs of danger in a funnel -shaped cloud, which seemed to gather up everything within its reach and cast it right iind left. Out iu the country houses and barns were unroofed, farm outbnild- iu,gs overturned, crops ,rooted up and destruction spread in every direction. The cyclone came from the west, but passed along the north- ern border of Reading. First it touched the Mt. Penn, Stove Works. Ifere the corner of the building was struck and is pUrtitni of the roof was cut offas nicely as if done with a pair of scissors. A silk mill, in which 250 girls were employed, blew down just be fore the hour,. for quitting work. About the same time there WOP an explosion and fire in the same neigh- borhood, by which eight men were burned lo death. DEATH AT PITTSI3URGIL Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 9.—At 11.- 30 to -day, while a fearful wind and hail storm was raging, a now four - storey building on Diamond street neer wood and in the rear of Rea Bros. & Co. and J. R. Wildiu & sound sent a thrill of horror through their hearts. The force of the fall. bgildins wee eo great that the rear walls of the two other build - Inge mentioned were crushed as if they had been made of paper and their front walls fell upon the pave. ment on Wood street, burying sever- al people in the debris and mangl- ing some horribly. Of these two were a girl and a boy and one a man, unknown, all of whom were taken to the hospital. A _barber shop in the rear was alao demolish- ed and six occupants were buried in the ruins. The top storey in the rear of Eichbaum's building on Fifth avenue was alao knocked iu, and three printers were injured. The number of killed and injured cannot be definitely stated. Up to 2.30 o'clock twenty persons have been taken from the ruins. It is believed a score more are still in the debris. 411•.=•- A GEORGIA COUNTY EDITOR WHO IS VERY LIKE THE PRESIDENT-ELECT. Th'e editor of this paper takes pride in noting the following points of resemblance between himself and the gentleman who is to be our next president: 'He wears a 71 hat.

We wear slippors—odd !numbers, one a five and the other 6i—but we could compromise on a six if it was a good wearer. He had a bunion on his right foot aud no corns. There's where we differ from him. 'We sport corns on both feet, and a sore ou our heel where the ventilation was placed in our sock. 'Hie neck measure is 16i. Don't say inches or *feet, perpendicular or circumference.

The infuriated cat. buried her claws in the woman's 'shoulder because she had unconaci- onsly trodden on the animal's tail. The vietim was Mrs. John Bernacka, the wife of a Polish laborer. Two. weeks ago Mra. Bernacka attendecL the wedding of Joseph and Miss MarkoWski, at the saloon. of Albert Markowski, on Harniltea street. Dancing was one of the pleasantries indulged in on that occasion, and she heedlessly trod upon the house cat. The cat was crazed with pain, and sprung upon Mrs. Bernacka's shoulders, sinking, her claws into the flesh 'so deeply that she was removed with (In- - eulty. The woman had been in poor health, and ou die day after. the wedding she became vely ilL with symptomsfof blood poisoning.. Thursday night she died, and very wild stories concerning the manner of her death have been circulated in the Polish colony, where the family live. The physician who at- tended her thinks that the wounds intlicOd by the cat perhaps only aggravated an existing tendency to blood disease. Mrs. Beruacka was !Moll t ,60 ye Of age: BRAVE MRS.

Pushing it away she struck it a bloat', which. rendered it unconscious. Another of the cats sprang at her, seizing the calf of her leg and cutting it sever- ely with its teeth.

By his air and gait, the ultra Jashionable style of his clothing, the killing curl of- his moustache, the "look and die" expression of his sirnpling face, his stream of small talk and sundry other signs aud tokens of a plethora of vanity and lack of soul and brain, you may distinguish at a glance the individual who plumes himself upon being a lady% man. His belief in his own irresistibil- ity is written all over hitn; and to say the truth your ladies' men have some ground for their self- conceit. It is indubitable they do sometimes fall in love, tfr what they euppose to be love with fellows who look as if they had walked out of a tailors' fashion plates—creatures that by the aid of the varioue artists who con- tribute to the makeup of human popinjays—have been converted in- to superior samples of whet art can effect in the way of giving men an unmanly appearance. Tho wetnan who marries one of those flutterers is to be pitied, for if she has any glimtlerings of common sense, and a heart under her bodice, she will soou discover that her dainty hes- band has no more of it mau's spirit in him than any autometic figure ou a Sevoyard's hand organ. But a svomtan Werth true man's love is never caught by such a speci- men of ornamentil hollow wares. A sensible woman is in fact, a ter- ror to ladies, men, for they are a- ware that her penetrating eye looks through them, and sounds the depths of their emptiness. She knows the man indeed from the trumpery couuterleit, and has no touch of the mackerel propensity to ,jump at a flashy bait in her wholesome composition. The lady's man should be per- mitted to live and die a bachelor. His vocation is to dangle after the Sex, to talk soft nonsense, to carry slinwls and fans,to astonish boarding school misses and to kindle love, flames as evanescent and harmless as i he twinkle of is lightning bug. If however, he must needs become benedict, lot hi Til be yoked with some vaiu and silly flirt, his natural counterpart. So shall the law of fitness not be outraged.
