A WOR7 fir JUDGE. --- The Court of General Sessions and District Court was held at Sault St. Marie, Ont., recently, before their Honors Judges Johnstonand O'Connor. Of 3 edge J01111SL4>ll'S address to the Grand Jury the Algoma Pioneer sayti • •Ilis Honor Judge Johnston congrat- ulated the grand jurors upOn the light calender, referring, in passing., to the number of police magistrates, stipen- diary magistrates, tn(1 justices of the peace within the district. Since June sessions only two cases have been pre- sented for trial by jury. 1 f is Honor then explained to the grand jury some of the points of the new Code, which came into force on the 1st dity of July last, and which be thought were great improvement. Among those affecting this court he noted the abolition of several technical • teems; in defining certain claseee of offences, all of which were now as "theft," Another impor- tant amendment. is that which gives 43 prisoner the right to give evidence in his own behalf., Hitherto men charged with offences have been excluded by law from saying one word for them- selves even when a word would ex- plain away the crime for which they were being tried. Now whether inno- cent or guilty the prisoner may give his own story to the court or jury. And should a prisoner refuse to testify on his own behalf no comment eau be made thereon by prosecuting attorney or judge.. If he chooses to testify he must answer all questions put to him, but anything said by a prisoner in his own behalf cannot be used against him. This certainly fortifies the innocent without itsraring the guilty. Under the new Code a number of offences can be tried by the Judge in sessions which hitherto could only be dealt with by a court of assize. His Honor then denounced incest as one of the most abominable of crimes. He was glad, however, that the case to be heard was one in which such a crime is charged as all "attempt." The other case on the list is a charge of placing an obstruction upon a railway. These are serious offences and the grand jury stands as a (spurt of inquiry between the, prosecutor and 1 he prison- ers and the court, will be gllid to render every assistance in its power to enable them to react: a correct verdict." In North Bruce the Ontario Govern- ment candidate was defeated by Mc- Naughton,Patron of Industry Nominee, by a majority of 500.

Dr. McKinnon, of Alvinston, the Ontario Government candidate, of East Lambton has been defeated by Mr. P. D. McCallum, the nominee of the Protestant Protective Association. Both parties worked hard and a heavy vote was polled. Every effort was put forth by Dr. McKinnon and hill friends, and the result has been a stunning blow to the straight Grits, who expect- ed to elect their man by a gond major- ity.

The correspondent to the Signal from the Nile, we notiee in last week's paper is no longer responsible for any state- ments he or she may make. We feared it would come to that. It was stated that the five or six young Alen who were sent as representatives of thus temper:rave order from Nile to Dun- gannon got slightly boosy while there. Perhaps they did, we are not prepared to say, but we want the Nile correspon- dent to understand that those young men were not sent as representatives of the Temperance question.

"The fountain of content must spring up in the mind ; and he who hits so little knowledge of human nature, as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition, wilt waste his life in fruitless efforts, mat multiply the griefs which he proposes to re- move," "Each of its ought to strive for excel- lence in one thing ; but 3310 /11/40 need a little km (331) in 111111) 3' 0t11(lS. %V4 Canna all he lawyers; but we all need some acquaintance with the laws of the Irad we live in.

"Every honest occupation, from the cleaning of a street to the ruling of a nation, has certain objects in view which tend in various ways to promote the well-being of the community. Un- less the worker has some appreciation of these objects smile sympathy with them, some desire to further them, he cannot claim sincerity in his laboe. He is probably quite sincere in his desire for the gain or the fame or other bene- fit which will, he hopes, accrue to him as a Testi] t, and gauges his efforts with • this in view ; but sincere works demand that such desire be extended to the excellence and success of the work itself."

With one exception *carelessness of expenditure is the surest sign a young man can give that his life is destine(1 to be unprosper- oils and unhappy.
