CONCERT AT SEAFORTH.—The fa- mous Arion Grub, of Boston and Toronto, has been secured to give n concert in Seafotth, on Fridey eve- ning of this week, under the aus- piees of the 33rd Battalion 13and.

It will prove a great con- venience to the members generally and encourage n more 'intimate in- tercourse among the members of this' large and growing benevolent organization. RUMORED. —It is possible that reparation will be demanded from Mr. Searle, the owner dale build- ing oppoeite the town hall, by Dr.• Wurthington for injury sustained by a block of hard miaow falling on the Doctor, from the roof of the building, as he waa passing along the sidewalk along with Mr. D. Forrester. Wu have not learned the extent of injury to the Doctor, bu t underetand he is not incapacitat - ed from following his profusion. ST, Parnicies CONCERT in town hall, Clinton, last Wednesday even- ing was fairly well attended. Ex Mayor Forrester occupied the chair. Mrs. Wall rendered some *elections in a manner that earned the ap- proval of those of critical taste. Miss McCornitte charmed the audi- ence by her sweet voice. The sing- ing of tha . Misses O'Brien and 'Jones pleased the most fastidious. The Mises Shannon filled the in strumental part very nicely. /4r. Kennedy of Stratford created an excellent impression. Mi -s Winnie Ball, of Goderich, recited in a most .adtuirable mannrr for ono of her years. Mr. T. Griffin had to con- tend with a natural diffidence which somewhat marred the effect of Lis uudoubled ability au a singer. DRIFTING CITY•WARD. —We have several times referred to the attrao tions large cities have for the suc- cessful professional men who have built up good practices in towns. The latest removal from Clinton to Toronto is that of Mr. G.,II , Cook, dentist, who, with his family, left fur the Queeu city last week. Dr. Cook during his three years rioi. deuce in Clinton built up a Most enviable reputation as a skilful practitioner and earned the esteem of our citizens generally for his gentlemanly and christian conduct. In common with our fellow towns- men generally we rogret his de- parture and can only hope •that n measure of success proportionate to the larger field which he has gone to to exercise his calling may attend him, and that both himself and Mrs. Cook will have a correepond• lug nutnber of trionds in their now home. THAT LIBEL SUIT.—The libel suit against Race of the Mitchell Re- corder which was set down for trial at the Assizes at Goderich last week avtut—neetsegorie-itetorthereprosecattore Mr. Glenn of St. Marys, being Betio - fled with $1 damages which carries with it several hundred dollars costs. Mr. Garrow on behalf of Mr. Race said: "In this case after looking into the matter, 1 came to the conclusion that the action is itidefensible and it, would tro a pure waste•of time to attempt n defence. I therefore ad- vised my client to do what lie would have to do in the end, sub- mit to the inevitable. With that idea I DOW make this proposition which 1 think my learned friend accepts. I am willing to consent to a verdict for norninal damages, with full eats of suit, without question of sat off. They desire an apology Whet I can say, and can say con- scientiously, is that in tny opinion, the article is quite too strong and indefensible. Mr. Race is a Liberal, publishing a uewspaper having Liberal sympathies, and in uphold- ieg his candidate ha went into priut and said thiugs in -print that in his more sober moments he could n3t justify, and if lie had bad time to reflect he would not have said them. I deeire to express as distinctly as I can, his regret that he made such strong statements as those which were used and which were quite uncalled for. I do not know that I can say anything more." But Mr. Race repudiates what his counsel said on his behalf and idle the public in the Recorder: "It is being circulated about town than an apology was made by the editor of this paper in the court at Goderich on Tuesday, for the article contain- ed in these columns some weeks ago on which an notion for damages was brought by a fellow Glenn of St. Mary. There is no truth in such rumor. It is true that an apology was asked for, but the edi- tor of this paper declared that not f r himself, nor for all his wife'a reliiions would he apologize for an article which he believed was practi- cally or metaphorically true and every word justifiable." -tt . . • • ••• . . • • - tigio.. i L Womxiiii of 1,nok. now, •and .N.r.

Rebert- son is engaged in the ORM builitess in Pott Harop, TUE ORIGIN OF exchange saya this is how leap year originated: In 1288, when Itlargaretrwas queen of Scotland, she maria alaw that during her reign any maiden should have the right to ask any man to marry her, and if he refused without good cause to..make her his wile, he was to be fined one hundred pounds. After the death of the Queen the women so desired tt continuance of the right that a law was passed allow- ing a woman the privilege every fourth year of asking a man in mar liege. This is the origin of leap year. SULPHUR AND GRIPPE.—Our readers have read, and lots of American newspapers have republished, what we said in February in regard to the wearing of sulphur in the stockings as a preventive of "Grippe.'' Since then we have learned that in Byam's Boston Match Factory, where forty- three persons are employed working in a sulphur.atmosphere, not one has been attaciced by the "Grippe." Dr. Bowditch, Dean of the Harvard Uni- versity Medical School, is, at our re, quest, causing experiments to be made in regird to the effect of sul- phur on germs.— Our Dumb Animals. FittnAr,-Mr. MeDonagh, of Smith's Hill, was in town in answer to a request from the magistrate, at the instance of License Inspector Pais ley, to answer a charge of violating the liquor license law on Suuday. Tho case collapsed, as there was no evidence to show that Mr. McDon- sgh had fractured the law in the slightest degree. Though lawyer Campion had charge o? the defence for Mr. McDonttgh, he might as well have been at home as the evi- dence for the prosecution waa all that was required to mute a dis- missal. • Wu clip the following from our exchange "The Bee" respecting a minister who formerly labored in this locality—"Undor the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Rogers the Methodist church on the Atwood circuit has enjoyed temporal, and spiritual pros- perity • Tile three churches have been renovated, more or leas, and the parsonage also has undergone a change. A new stone Mier, cis- tern. woodshed, &c. all of which is paid for. There has been a steady increase in all the funds, and the minister', salary increased over 25 per cent. Accessions to the mem- bership have boon made each year and harmony and a fair measure of prosperity enjoyed. Rev. J. S. Fisher, of Arthur, has been invited to succeed the present pastor whoae term expires next Juna. A. corres- pondent from Jubilee appointment say. that "under the zealous and watchful care of the pastor our con- gregations have so increased that sitting roots room is at a premium on Sunday evening. A few souls have been gathered in from the ways of the past year." INTERESTING CATTLE CASE.—A ecase-ofetenue tialeinteeest trrcattielmr" ora and farmers was tried at the Division Court Sitting, Walkerton, on Thursday lest before Judge Bar- ret and a Jury. John Rowland of Walkerton sued Rich. Donnelly, a farmer of Greenock township for $G0 damages under the following circumstances. Rowland made a bargain with Donnelly last spring for the purchase of 40 head of cattle, cue half to be delivered in May the other iu August. It seems that there is a custotn amongst cattle buyer a to order out the cattle for delivery early in the morning, as they do not weigh as much then ,as alter their morning feed. When the first twenty cattle were deliver- ed Rowland's agent came after them about five or six o'clock in the morning. Donnelly thought some sharp practice had been played on hint and. resolved to have the next batch in shape for Rowland when the time CaMO. Some tithe in August last, lie got word that liovrIend's agent would be out the next morn- ing and to have the cattle ready for delivery at 5 o'clock. From the evidence it appeared that Donnelly got up about three or four o'clock in the morning and gave the cattle some fresh malt, so that when Row - land's agent was driving them to the station, being thitety, they drank a considerable quantity of water, a sufficient quantity in the opinion of a number of witnesses to cause them to weigh from 40 to GO pounds heavier each. The cattle were shipped to Montreal and a good number of them were not in good condition when they reached there. Rowland did not find out until a considerable time afterwards that the cattle had been salted, and only then through Donnelly's boast- ing of how he had got even with him, but as soon as he did hear of it, ho brought mit foe damages. The case occupied most of the day. The Jury after being out a short time brought in a verdict for Row- land for $C0. assuo, Wo x nut?

THE LoND014 FRES PREIS of Fri• day contained a mention of a ,our; oua relic containing a peculiar in-. scription, found near rOnondaga, Ont. Philologists aro •at a loss to decipher the words, and whether they are Indian, Arabic, Sanecrit or pre Adarnite is not yet known. A fao simile of the inscription will be tient to 'Max Mueller, the greatest living authority on such matters. BE ELLEN LOSIAS,—Solne private parent; in Goderich wrote the At- torney General requesting that an in- vestigation take place regarding the seduction and death of Ellen Lomas who died last fall at the Woman's Refuge and Fouudliugs' Homo London, Out. The following re- ply was received : '•I have yours of the 10th inst., add•reesed to the At- torirey.General. I am sending your letter to the Crown Attorney at Goderich for such action, if any, as may seem proper." (Signed) "CART- WRIGHT, Deputy Attorney -General." In justice to the eoverel parties alleged to' have caused the death of the girl, this is the proper course to pursue. The Crown can have no possible object other than the vin. dioatiou of the law, and this course was suggested by THE NEWS -RECORD, eeveral ago. CURRENT TOPICS. A PROPER RESOLUTION. Mr. McNeill, of Bruce, isgoing to introduce the preferential duty ques- tion in a few days, with a view to its diecusaion by the Honse. His mo- tion will be in the following form : "That if and when the Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland admits Canadian products of the markets of the 'United Kingdom upon more favorable terms than it accords to the producte of of foreign countries, the Parliament of Canada will be pre pared to accord a corresponding ad• vantege by a reduction in the duties it imposes upon British 'standees tured goods." NO ANNEXATION FOR TLIE11. The 14oritreal Witness, one of the. hottest Reform jOtirnals that cannot see how free trade is to be forward, od by either commercial on political union with the double. tarriffed United States, truthfully trays : "Canadians do not want political union with the 'United States; they believe, and with reason, that they have a form of government more di• rattly responsible to the rrple, and more immediately responsave to its will than is that of the United States. Any attempt on. the part of the United States politicans t o coerce Canada into any exation wonld only result- in making the people of the Dominion. more deter- mined to resist any movement of the kind.". 'RAS IS RIGHT. • The threat of retaliation," says Mr. Erastus Wiman, "in the shape of the abolition of the bonding privil- ege which allows goods destined for Canada to pass through the United States without duties, 'and vice versa, would be a two-edged weapon, far more hurtful to Chicago, De• troit, the twin cities, Boston and New England than to Canada. If this is the only retaliatory measure Canada has to fear, after sufleriug the terrible exclusion imposed hy the McKinley Bill, it will have no effect on the popular sentiment in Canada, except to solidify adhesion to British connection and to strengthen the determination to keep independent of the United States." DON'T LIKE THE NEW POLICY. Gait Reformer, Reform, Mr. John Crerar, Q. C., of Hamil- ton, has written a long lettere° the Globe urging the Liberal party, to take up Free Trade and Direct Taxation as its policy. Mr. Crerar is a gentleman of ability, a good writer and a good speaker. He also believes, we dare say, what he writes. But anything more ime practicable it would be pretty hard to conceive of than for any pone tical party to take up Free Trade and Direct Taxation under present circumstances. Mr. Crerar has talked and written so much on this subject that he seems to think every- thing "would be lovely and the goose hang high," under Free Trade with all the world, and that the ordinery citizen would just revel with delight in the visite of the Dominion tax -gatherers. He leen all this quite clearly. But the Iron- ble of it is. he can't get others to see it in the same light and he would have to live a good deal longer than Methusaleh before he could bring it within the range of practical politics. t Me My" Ca 0 ----- The above cut represents one of the latest and best selling Caps ever placed on the market.
