In theory the same thing might happen to an English sludge, but they never will.—Toronto %Globe. Yes, there's the rub. The Gane thing "in theory might happen to an English judge, but never will." • \Ve are not so sure about this, that theorecticnlly the slapping of the face of a Judge in England for doing his duty has not happened and may not happen again. In the Mrs. Meytir•iek case that is uow causing so much talk in England, public men who should know better are, in theory, slapping .Judge Stephen iu the face for his impartial reserne of the evi''ence on which Mrs. slay- brick was convicted Of murder. Tliis abuse of Judge Stephen arises out or a mawkish sentimentality be- cause the convibted criminal hap- pens to be a w•otaan-.

Editor News -Record. Permit me a short space to reply to the crank that signs himself "Van Norman," anent the base ball match between Clinton and Belgrave'. [-Iis senseless jargon is not worthy a reply, yet, lest those who are not acquainted with the facts should think there is anything in his twaddle, l wish to say a tew words. I treat his first remarks with silence' contempt.He exposes his deplor- able ignorance by 'asking: "Who ever heard of two umpires at one and the same time ?" Several of their own players admitted that the umpire was rank and partial, and also informed us that the same non entity was "stuffed" well before hie arrival here, being told not to re- tract it decision in any case. They should not be ashamed to admit what was evident to all, viz: the in, competency of their umpire. They seem to be afflicted with swelled heads, however, and all due allow- ance should be made. It is hardly necessary for me to insert a fact' here that they know perfectly well, viz: that should they face the Clinton players in their µsual trim, they would be beaten to such a tune that they would wish to run away and learn to play marbles.

Mr. Bateman sold 70 tons of hay off 35 acres, the most of which he delivered baled at Clinton station, br:inginguearly 2?- tons at each load. The bare fact of the matter is that a hoar was killed in the bush to the rear of Mr. John Middleton's residence last Thursday • morning. The previous Sunday it had bsou seen in the neighborhood of the. Parson's farts ou the lake -shore road about five miles from Goderich. Thursday morning Mr. Peter Cole got after bruits and claims that he. %hot his) three times but the bear did not -seem to caro much for Cole's cartridges. Air. Middleton hearing the shooting leisurely walked down to where the cannonading noise came from. \Vhen he came to the scene of active operations Mr. Colo was peppering away with a pitchfork at some datk object in a tree. Mr. M advised caution, suppose AEI. Cole brought down bruin who was going to engage in a tussle with it. How- ever, the critter dropped .front the tree, when it Was attacked by a dog. 13ut doggie had no show. Bruin boxed him right and left with a dexterity that would have made John L. Sullivan greener with envy than the most glowingly verdant spot iu the Gent of the sen. When doggie threw up the sponge Mr. Colo and teacher Autlors:,u picked up what sticks they could conven- iently find; and tackled the beast, but beiug decayed they broke in twain at• every stroke. Tea- cher Anderson then concluded that those sort of missiles were no more deadly than a willow wand upon a refractory pupil and he grabbed a fence rail and belabored bruin until he was "kilt. dead." Mr. Middleton bought the carcase and the same evening its hide was in the Bet -miller hennery. The beast was only abort a year old, stood about two feet high but rather gaunt.

The NEWS -RECORD ECoRD has often pointed nut the interpeudence that suhsiats between manufacturing and agricultural industries. No country in the world ever attained enviable and permanent eminence where art and agriculture were not the lead- ing elements of greatness. There is a moral applicable to Clinton and vicinity 'iii the following- from front au •,agricultural paper, the American Cultivator :—Very few people seem to realize the benefits to their town or village by the location therein of now iudus- tries and Manufacturing plants. The organization of boards of trade has done much to build up the towns where little or no manufac- turing has been done. This is especially true of the smaller inland .towns, which have heretofore been obliged to depend upon the larger places•for a market for their pro• ducts, and also for the employment of those who were obliged to earn a livelihood by means not provided at home, and in this way the benefit derived from a honiseedemand has been withdrawn from the busiuess interests of the village. The establishment of one or more manufacturing industries in a town has a tendency to increase its growth and build it• up in a busi• trees way. The townspeople are provided with a means of employ- ment without seeking it in Cities, the farmers find a good market for their products, and a large amount' of money is kept in circulation which would otherwise go else- where. It invites uew business in every way, and helps to build 'up and beautify the town, all desirable additions and features to be appre- ciated by a progressive race, such as aro the citizens of our American vl l lager. It is a fact that can 'not be denied that the manufacturing industries aro the leading ones in this country. and are what have created its wealth and power ; and the stag- uant condition of those places where there are no manufacturing interests is very noticeable. It is also, 11 fact that at the present time the young mon and women are leaving their country homes for the cities, to find' employment in the groat mills and factories. In order to prevent this loss, not only of money but of population, it is necessary to hold out some inducement to have them remain. And here it is that the boards of trade are doing a good work. Many of the little New England villages whose popu- letioit Inas not increased in yea's, and from which most of, the young men and women with, push and energy hptvo gone to find employ- ment in' larger places, are 110w waking up to the facts which the situation presents, and efforts aro being made to provide a means for their employment nearer home. The result is that the places aro becoming lively business towns and the citizens of the town and farmers in the vicinity are reaping the benefits. • In And About The County. —In the case of Queen t'.
