A DEPRAVED TEACHER.
Milton Chaurpion.
Ephraim Buck, teacher of the
public school at Zimmerman, charg-
ed with a criminal assault on one
of his pupils, a thirl 0,11 year old girl,
ttid not appear before Magistrate
Lindsay fart Thursday, as was ex-
pected. A w•arrant.ha1 been issued
for his arrest, but he managed to
keep out of the way of the• consta-
ble. The charge against ltiw .vas
withdrawn because the relatives of
the girl wished to avoid publicity,
and because it was found that there
would be difficulty in convicting
hits of anything, more thien a !flied°,
me t:tor. Hid father agreed to pay
all costs. Declarations were, made.
bo vtrver, by the girl, and also by
another girl pupil of about the same
age, with whoui Buck took improper
liberties, and were forwarded to
School inspector Depcon. One of
the girls testified that one evening
some time ago, after school had been
dismissed and she hail left the -build-
ing, she returned for her satchel,
which she had left in, the bat room.
Luck caught her' by the band and
held it while he made improper pro-
posals to her, which she resented.
The villainous teacher then got a
Bible . from which he real ct'rtain
passages which he said sanctioned
the act which he proposed and, after
some resistance, ett<:eted hie purpose.
The declaration of the other' girl
was similar iu some respects. Buck
well be suspended by the School In,
spector and his certificate will be
cancelled. Ile is less than twenty-
one years of age. He may thank
his stars that his offence was com-
mitted in a law-abiding community.
In many places the school inspector
would have been saved the trouble
of sutlpending- him—he would have
been suspended in another manner,
from the nearest tree, and it would
have served hits right. Canadians
seldom resort to lynch law, but
since the laws of our country do not
provide an adequate punishment for
a case like Buck's, few would have
objected had be met with summary
justice at the hands of his neighbors.
A YOUNG WOMANS MISTAKE
MARRRYiN1 A STRANGER WHO PROVES
HIMSELF A SCOUNDREL.
Not long since sn adventurer, giv,
ing the name of Frank S. Gifford,
landed in Toronto and by testimon-
ials, purporting to be signed by
Major Dean, of Moptreal, ingrati-
ated himself!into the confidence of
Lt. -Col. G. T. Denison and Lt.•Col.
Uraasett. On the strength_ of thie
he purchased furniture and other
goods on credit in the city before
)lie real character wan discovered.
He boarded at a private house op
Siutcoe street, opposite Dr Graaett'a,
kept by a respectable young lady, to
whom be made love.
By glowing representations of
himself he secured her consent to
marriage after an acquaintanceship
of about three days. This was three
weeks ago. On Sunday morning
last Gifford brutally assaulted his
young wife, knocking her senseless.
He was trying to take home money
from her pocket and elle refused,
whereupon he struck her in the face
with his fists. The case was .kept
(inlet until. Thursday, because she
sought to avoid publicity.
But Gifford was finally arrested,
appeared in court and was remand-
ed until Friday, He claimed that
lee only wanted to extract a key
from her pocket, when the assault
occurred, and that his object was to
prevent her having access to drugs
which she wastaking. The woman
fuiuted in the witness boa, overcome
evidrmtly by realization of the ters
ritlle mistake she had made in
marrying the man.
SLe was assisted out of court by
Sergeant Hales,*and an, officer and
taken care of. The police put no
credence in any statement made by
Gilford, and say that he is a scoun-
drel of the most heartless type. He
is about 45 years of age and bald,
with a hardened, forbidding coun-
tenance.

—A Texas paper graphically des-
cribes the practical working of an
electric wire fence that is said to be
built around a cattle ranch in that
section, It is made of smooth wire,
and very inviting to the unsophisti-
cated steers of the regulation Texas
type. Recently a trial was made
of its effectiveness. The electric
current was turned on, and on one
side of the fence stood a dozen or
fifteen ltteers ; on the other side
stood one alone. The lone steer of
the Lone Star species wanted to join
his companions, and scorning the
smooth wire impediment he under-
took to break through. The truth•
ful narrator tells the result : "He
had no idea he was tackling•a buzz -
saw when he struck that smooth
wire fence. Well, sir, he jumped
like he wan hit et once by forty
million hornets, and with his tail
coiled over his back he wheeled and
struck the ground in high' places'.
Then the fifteen made a dash to fol.
low him. One by one they rubbed
that electric fence, and- as fast se
they did they jumped, bawled, kicks
ed, wheeled, and sailed on as though
they •had urgent business at the
North Pole and only had a few
hours in whip!) to make it. The
electric l'ence•is'a stunner—it is the
eighth and greatest wonder of the
world. Not one of those cattle was
hurt, but not one of them will go
near the fence again."

—A welhknowu physician 'of

rather "out of sorts,"determined to
consult Rome of his medical brethren
on the subject, for few physicians
like to trust themselves with them-

five eminent weu►bors of the faculty

different mode of treatment. It is
hie own belief that they were all

And no questions asked ; that is to
ray; none touching the talents and
accomplishments of the buyer. All
degrees furnished within fifteen
minutes after application for them
is made. It is a Chicago "Univer.

the will of a Frenchman named
Louis August Travers, who died in

declared that France had always
oppressed hien, that the,french were
'a nation -of dastards and fools, and
that he only wished that he might

for the edict, aside from other ques-

relations of amity and Masonic cor-
respondence .with the grand orient
of .Prance, the governing body of
Masons in that country, which is
under the ban of at ]east every
