REVERSING POSITIONS.—Several lads the other day in front of Rob son's grocery wore going through what appeared to be gymnastic performauces. They persistently endetarored to put their heads where their feet should be—.on the side- walk. Upon inquiry the cause of this re versal of positions was found to bo a large and gorgeously colored lithograph placard in the grocery window. The placard was upside downand in order to read and un- derstand it the boys had to stand upon their heads. Even then they failed, but Jimmy would hold Tommy wrong end up with his head a foot or so from the sidewalk while he eyed the beauties of the placard. And thus by mutual assistance the half dozen boys were enabled to thoroughly appreciate the artistic and instructive beauties of the. placard. .0a. ahead of our neighbors.

A DASTARDLY Araaox.—All manner ot wrong doing is charged against Judge Moyle as .Revising Officer for the VVest Riding of Huree, Attacks upon women and the Judiciary ap- pear to be oharacteriatio of the Grit press. We have been personalty acquainted with the Judge all our life. When his name was ouggested al a County Judge we were among the first to urge his appointment, We have followed his coerce during the 11 or 12 years he has held the position and we are satisfied that our pbopbeoy that he would be a decided gain and an ornament to the bench has been fully borne out. The puri- ty and integrity of the Judiciary in Canada is one of our proudest boasts. And while we cannot see eye to eye with Judge Doyle in some matters we must give him credit for integrity, acumen and impartiality. We would not refer to this matter but far the faot that a Judge is oonsparetively defenceless, being practically debar- red from taking cognizance of cow- ardly insinuations which, if made be. fore him on the Bench, would justify him in committing the utterer for contempt of court. Ietrortra.tim JUDOISENT.—A recent issue of the London, England Times contains a report or the judgment of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the mole of Hunt- ington v Attrill for the sum of $I00,240,being the amount of judg- ment recovered by plaintiff in the Supreme Court of ths State of New York where he resides, the defend- ant Attrill residing in Toronto, and at 'one time at Goderich • The ac- tion was firet brought in the Com- mon Pleas Division at Oegoode hall in September, 1886, when Mr. Justice Street gave judgment dis- missing the action, holding that it was one of a penal aharacter, Messrs. Kingsmill, Symons & Co. appear- ing for the plaintiff and Messrs. McCarthy, Osier, Hoskin & Creel - man for the defendant. On the case being taken to the Court of Appeal, the judges were equally divided, aud, in consequence, the appeal was dismissed. The Privy Council has now reversed the orig- inal decision and decided in the ap-• pellanVe favor. Mr. Attrill died in Toronto a few months ago, before this deciaion was given. Similar judgmente to the total amount of $800,000 steed against him in the state of Now York, incurred through the failure of the Rockaway Beach Improvement Company, iu which he was/ the largest shareholder, The clakision in this ease would have made Minh liable to suit for the other amounts making up this large total,' but his death without leaving any estate behind him has put an effectual atop to all these poseible actions.

OBIT.—There died in Goderich last Thursday Thomas Whitely, aged 76 years. Funeral took place to Goderich cemetery Saturday. De' ceased was one of the pioneers of the county having early in the. '30e settled on the 7th con. Goderich township, along with hie father, the late Andrew Whitely, and five brothers, James,, Robert, Andrew, John and Joseph,• and one sister. The whole family were noted for their industry, honesty and Con• servetiem, and as law abiding citizens. They came from the county of Fermanagh, Ireland, and were intimately associated with other early scalers from the same place such as the Sturdys, Beacoms, Coxs, Rutledges, Ghana, Elliotte and many others. This is only the third• death in the family of six brothers and one sister in the long period of nearly sixty years. The sister who married Robt Shaw, died many years ago, Robert a few years ago and now Thomay.

INVESTIGATION ORMANDED.—We reproduce from the Goderich Star a demand for an investigation into the cum of the death of one Ellen Loowas and the ferreting out of her betrayer and murderer. This) is the course suggested by THE NEWS -RE - maw sometime ago whcra we first heard of the circurnstancee. This girl, who it said was but 14 years of age or under, came from the Strata .ford Home and was 'employed in Goderich in the household of Mr. Cameron. She was seduced by some person and when her shame became apparent was sent to the Woman's Home in London, where she died hot fall. There are charges and countercharges against certain parties in Goderich as being the seducers of the girl. In referring to this matter some. time ago we expressed the opinion that the machinery of the law should be put in force to find out and punish the author of the poor girl's death. Cannotthe County At. torny take action except upon ins - formation laid before him? Is it not his duty to take cognizance of rumors of crime committed in the county and initiate proceeding's If a de facto murder had been COre• witted, and no private citizen took steps to have the author of it prose- cuted because no one saw the deed committed, would not the duty of initiating proceedings to find out the murderer and punish him de- volve upon that official 1 No one will accuselhim of vindictiveness in the perforwance of what appears to be his plain duty. It would seem that either the authorities of the Stratford Home, the Louden Home or Mr. Cameron should take action. Failing that the County Attorney should do so, or at least cotnrouni. cate to the Attorny General the fact of the death of the child and the cause of it. A miscarriage of justice should not be allowed in this, one of the foulest crimes that can be perpetrated. A SAD DEATG.-000 of those de- plorable occurrences which startle quiet communities like ours took place here Wednesday, March 2nd, resulting in the death of Mr. W. H. Cooper, aged 74 yeare. It ap- pears that deceased had become de- spondent lately over_ financial mat- ters, though' winfitideratand there MS no real cause for it. However, he appears to have been meditating the fatal act for some time and had been fixing an old gun at odd tiinea recently. Finally on the fatal day he loaded the gun with the avowed object, as he told his wife, of shoot- ing rats in the stable to which he went. Mrs. Cooper heard one shot and inquired whether lie had shot anything. The old gentleman re- plied that he hed not but would try again- Returning to the house he reloaded the gun and again went to the stable There was another re- port and Mrs. Cooper again inquir- ed what success. Not receiving any reply she opened the door of the stable and found the already life- less body of her husband lying on the floor, he having shot himself. It appears that he tied a piece of string to the trigger of the gun leaving a loop pendant ,put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, his foot into the loop and pulled the trigger, the charge bloating the inner front part of the facto away and coining out at the back of the head. According to Medical auth- ority death was lustantaneoue, pro- bably before the report of the gun shot , had died away. Deceased lived just outside the corporation, in the township of Stanley. Burial "took place Friday. —11 • ARE READY WITH T nest an iIjzl Ski Slot For the SpringTrade that it has ever yet been our privilege, • to offer. This is the time for AN INVESTIGATION DEMANDED. TRE GODERICH "STIR" ADVOCATES LAT - 150 BARE THE CRIME ATTACHED TO ELLEN LOMAS' DEATH. • In its ieaue of Friday, the 4th inst., the Goderich Star save :—When the story of the seduction and the death of the viatica reaches ti's 'Rage of paha() dis- cussion which now marks the story of the girl Ellen Loonies, it is more than time for the authorities, or those who were the guardians of that child, to sot the •law in motion for the detection of the guilty betrayer and his just punish- ment. Although certain facts connected with this case have been generally known for thd past two months, any reference thereto, or a demand for an in- vestigation, would have at once been met with the cry that it was a political dodge election is over there is no longer any excuse for silence, and the Star calls upon the administrators of the law in such cam, and the authorities of the Stratford Home, in whose charge that girl was, to make such a public and official investigation lute this matter as will, if possible, convict the criminal who debauched her, and assure the pub- lic who supports such houses for defence - lees and orphan children that these un- fortunate waifs are as well guarded and protected from wroog as are the children of wealthy and influential parents. •• LIGHT im OVERCOAT 1 'Wellave all the New -est Things.

Cameron, in whose charge this girl was placed by the Home, and in whose employ she was when she was seduced, claims to have the proofs as to who was, her seducer. She was sent back to tlie Home when her condition became known, and from there sent to the Woman's Refuge and Foundlings' Home in London, where in undergoing an operation to remove axe dead child, she died. Up to a few days before her death, she, it is said, charged Mr, Cam- eron withthe crime of her seduction, but afterwarde, as he alleges, made a declaration placing the blame on Boma - one else'whose name he withholds, al- though he has printed and circulated this with other declarations. This deolaration Mr. Cameron obtain' ed on November 30, the girl dying an Dee. 3. So far as we can learn not even e pretence ot prosecuting her betrayer has ever been made by either Mr. Cam- eron or the authorities of the Home, both of whom stood in the position ot guardians of the child, for she la under- atood to have been in the neighborhood of but 14 years of ago. Statements and counter -statements have milieu in the discussion by the public of this sad and shameful story, which a complete in- vestigation should go far to set at rest.

The plaintiff, Carrie Patton, is the widow of the late Dr. Patton, of Plattsville, and her age 28. The defendant, Albert R. Russell, is a widower and a drover of some,rneans living in the village of Norwich. Both parties, tberefore, having tasted the joys and sorrows of a previous matrimonial alliancz, it was not to be expected that the details of their courtship would furnish as interesting morsels as the wooing of younger and more ardent lovers. The letters which passed between them in fact showed that the no gotiations were carried on in a purely business manner until the defendant proved false to the widow and married another. The angage• went was made at the big Forester& demonotration, Woodstock, last Aug- ust, and the wedding was to take place last Christmas. Russell took another young lady, a Miss Russell, to the Toronto fair last fall, promised to wed her Jolla` . , -a_ and did so on December 16th last. Tbe plaintiff heard ot her lover's perfidy and cancelled all arrangements for the wedding. Shea is a respectable woman and bears se good character, supporting herself and daughter by dressmaking antl painting lessons. The jury awardetll her $150 damages. —At the Woodstock assizes thee celebrated case of Roddy v. Lealb was settled.
