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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr. M, C. 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.
Let it be made at once, and let all the
oircumatences, including the obtaining
of the published declaration, be made
known to the public.

breach of promise case at
Woodstock Assizes last week at-
tracted large crowds of spectators.
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.
