From whichever cause it may arise, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a positive remedy, so certain in its curative results that its manufacturers sell it, through druggists, under a guarantee of its giving satisfaction in every case, or money paid for it will be promptly refunded.

STEWART, the millionaire merchant o/ Need York. W4ednestlay. May 29th. 1889 LEGAL LORE. IMPORTANT TO LANDLORDS. Judgment in a very important case to' landlords wee given iu the Court of Appeal in Toronto on Tuesday last. It will be remembered that the Imperial Hotel Co., of Galt rentel to Mr. John Braid a store in the Imperial Block, under a lease for five years, the lease containing the covenant as to payment of rent, or in the event of nonpayment giving to the Company power to distrain, and also the covenant that in the event of assignment or in solvency, the balance of the current year's rent would jut mediattly he. conn+ due and if not paid landlord to have the right to distrain. Mr, Braid finding himself in difficulties made an assignment to Mr. C. B. Linton, of Galt, and the Imperial Hotel Company, claiming the bal, ance of the unexpired year's rent, which was net paid, caused a land, lord'H warrant to Issue and seized the stock, prou,pt release being made, however, by the Assignee paying the rent claimed under pro. test, Suit. way then entered by Mr. Linton to recover the money paid as rent beyond the current quarter and the ease came Up before Judge Muir of Hamilton, the result being a vers dict which was satisfactory to neither party. Both consequently gave notice of appeal, Mr. 'Linton claiming as Assignee that judgment was defective inasmuch as it allowed a portion of the Hotel Co's claim, and the Hotel Co appealing on the ground that the judgment was defective inasmuch as it diJ not allow the. whole of its clans. The case was argued before the Court of Appeal in March, but judgment was not given until last Tuesday, there being a dismissal, of the app,%al of Linton, with costs, and an allowance of the appeal. of the Hotel Company with costs, thus confirming the Hotel Company's right to the full amount of the balance of the nnex- pired year's rent, in accordance with the terns of the lease. Shortly as reported the judgment reads :— Linton v. Imperial hotel Coll. parry.—Judgment on appeal by the plaintiff ,front the County Court of Wentworth and crossappeal by the defendants heard on the 21st of March, 1889. Putiutiff's appeal dismissed with costs and defendants' appeal allowed with coats. This judgment is the first, we believe, recorded since the passage of the last Ontario Landlord and Tenant. Act and goes clearly to show that a landlord and tenant, by lease containing proper cove- nents, can rnutuslly agree to stipu• lations practically over riding that .Act provided those covenants are L01. nn injustice to innocent third parties. It centaies, besides, in- fereutially a warning 10 creditors or those likely to l,ecmn' creditors by the sale of, goods, to inform them- selves carefully of the standing of a tc•natit 11.11d 114' terms of the lease he Inc, with liio land!crd. MIXED 1IA.I'11,f1t V. It aill belenumebe,+od that 1;;st F^, nith••r 011111 0n4 `sliver was nir•1tug ,, lin'! ling in St. 'I'llonlas, 11,4 :or,44.ture cane' arIc i,t. a tele - wire v. )rich became dislodged bye the strain and caused the fall of a quantity of bricks. by which a. boy named John Howard was struck and seriously injured. His father brought suit against the City, the Telephone Company and Oliver at St. -Thomas before a Jury, which found— "That the City about(' have known of the position of the wire, as it had been in the same position for more than a year. They also found that Oliver was Making a reaeonable use of the highway in drawing the house along it; that the wire was not high enough to allow the street to be used safely for all reasonable purposes ; that 'the Company were guilty of negligence in not having the wire properly fastened to poles; that the Engineer had authority to give permission to remove the buil, ding ; that the City ought to have required the Company to stretch their wire higher up ; that the Culu- n had no authority from the pay v City to stretch their wire serosa the street ; that the City had notice of the fact that the building was being moved, and tbey are guilty of negli- gence in not having the wires re, moved; and that the defendant Oliver was guilty of negligenee in not seeing that the Company re- moved the obstructions. The question then was as to the apportionment of the liability, all the 4efendanta being found guilty of ne ligence. The learned Judge held that the meaning of the findings was that the damage was- caused jointly by the three defendants, and he denied the Corporation any relief over against the other efefendants. The jury estimated the damages at $125 to the father and $375 to the son, and added the words "to be paid equally by the city and the Bell Telephone Company"—thus declaring their opinion that the defendant Oliver should pay no damages. The learned judga, how. ever, rejected thio part of the jury's answer as surplusage, and treated the damages asassessed against the persons liable to pay under the facts as found." Judgment was therefore directed to be entered in accordance with above 'against all the defendants. This is important as a warning to all municipalities to permit of no obetructions on roads or etreets whereby the public, otherwise, may be injured. CURRENT TOPICS, The statistics of divorce iu new Hampshire are surpri8ing. It ap-. . pears that the ratio of divorce to marriages in„,the Granite State has been larger for some years than in any other state of the Union, larger than in Connecticut or California. Within five years 1,900 cases of di. vorce were decreed or one divorce to every ten marriages. There is certainly something wrong in New Hampshire. It should be a source of pride to Canadians that this country is clear of any such record. At a recent cremation a certain undertaker of Buffalo decided to watch the action of the heat on the body as it was being consumed. He' stationed 'himself at the small glaee that gives a view of the inner furnace and watched the process. The body was that of a woman. As the heat came on the hair began to rise and . fall over the face. The eye3 opened and stared wildly at the top of the furnace, the fingers and feet moved as though in. agony, the mouth opened, and every muscle in the.body 'seemed to be writhing from, the terrible pain of the intense heat. The attaches of the crematory say that this is always the effect on a body. The undertaker has slept but very little since the experiment. I0 'sileech in the last session of the Canadian Parliament, Mr. David Mills declared that Dakota contained between two and three hundred thousand Canadians. Rash Mr. Mille! Whereupon a Chicago paper rises to ask : "Where did 11e get Itis information from 1 Has a St. Paul directory man issued a work on Dakota for private circula- tion, and is Mr. Mills one of his patrons ? •Tlie Canadian cblony in Dakota is a progressive and wealthy cue. But it does not count more than 60,000 souls. To swell ' the number to 200,000 is folly, because an assertion like that can very easis ly be disproved.” Stick to the truth, Mr. Mills, and shame the tories. In connection with the 70th anni- versary of the Independent Order of (htdfellows, in America, just cel• - ebrated, it will be interesting to note the following statistics of the Order in Ontario on December 31st, 1 +88:—Membership, 16,053; re- ceipts (for year 1888), $159,937.90; number of members who received sick bef,efits during the year, 1,951; number of weeks for which sick beni!its wore^paid, 10,199.37; total relief for year 1i8i, �53,497,O1 ut•erngc for each clay, $145,56.

The Chicago News bad something the other day that bears upon the discussion of whether the farmers of Canada would be benefitted by commercial or any other annexation 10 the United States, and here 11 is "The fact first announced in these columns nearly four yearl' ago -name ly, that Illinois is losing Iter agri- cultural population is fully substan- tiated by the tables of population distribution in Dr. Rauch's recent preliminary report on the water supplies of, the State. Outside of Cook County the aggregate increase of population since the last census is less than 1160,000; by the natural oxceese of births over deaths it should be More than 600,000. And even this aggregate increase is con- fined to the "tieing and manufactur- ing districts of the State, while the purely agricultural districts show heavy losses:" It is sad, but true, that the stories of the commercial annexationists do not square with the facts in any particular. "The Jewis Messenger" takes the following ground in regard to re- ligious prejudice : "The Hebrew it not the sole victim of odium ; he is not the only martyr for opinion's sake. The tone of many a Protests ant clergyman against his Roman Catholic brother is even More virulent than the contetnptucue fiing at the Jew. We are not to be sur- prised that there should be prejudice against the Jew when prejudice is rampant against non -Jews, despite their over whelming num bore. And it is unwise for the Hebrew to exag Aerate every petty occurrehce into a persecution, as if every breeze from the north were a blizzard. Some of us, too, have prejudices of our own, which we teach to our children, and from which they can never free themselves. A harsh caricature of Christianity is often presented by some sensational rabbis, as if every Christian bowed down to idols of wood and stone, and the synagogue and the rabbi bas no idols, too. So let us be less prone to cry that the Jewis persecuted 1 Let. us devoutly thank God that the Jews have never been strong enough to play the persecutor's role. Human nature is human nature in Jew as well as Christian ; and a Jewish majority might have been as little angelic as history bas shown the Christians to have been."

He said that the in- fant couid.not stand strong medicine but he gave the mother a emetic to administer. This had the effect of bringing up another cockroach big= ger and uglier then any of its pre-. deceesors. It was nearly an inch long and was caught by Mrs. Amos on the child's tongue.
