It has been a poor day for news that has not brought an account of some bomb -throwing episode" in some coun- try in Europe and in France particular- ly. A mania for slaughter seems to be abroad in the land of Gaul, and -the police have their hands full- apprehend- ing dynamitard and suspects: To one who has followed these events, the most interesting feature is the prompt- ness with which the culprit is captured and justice meted out. Valliant threw a bomb in the Chamber of Deputies in Paris on December 9th ; on January 10th, a month later, he was found guilty and sentenced to death, and in the absence of an appeal, would have been executed ten days later. He appealed, however, and his case was re- viewed by the court of appeals, by the pardons committee and by the presi- dent of the republic, successively. On February 5th he was executed—just fifty-eight days after he colninit- ted the crime. ' When Valliant * through his bomb, the "mouse -trap" (as it is called in France) was formed. Officers of police were quickly stationed at the var- ious exits of the building, and, while the people were allowed to go in, no one was allowed to pass out without giving a satisfactory account of him- self. This device is rendered effective by the very complete method of the French in keeping track of everybody in each city. When a stranger arrives in a city and takes apartments, the concierge of the building notifies the authorities, giving the name, business, and place from which the stranger carne. Thus the authorities have a complete record of pveryhody in the ,city and all suspicious characters are carefully looked after. So quietly is this done, probably not one in a hundred of the foreigners who visit Paris knows the authorities have been notified of his arrival. The value of this knowledge was shown in the recent case of Henry, who threw the -bomb in the Hotel '1.'o'minus. When arrested, he gave a fictitious name, but notwithstaning this, he was identi- fied as the son of a communard and the brother of a convict, and his'move- ments for the past six years in Paris, America and London were as an open bunk to them. Under these circum- stances the criminal has small chances of escape. Though the French system would never be popular here, it, cannot be denied that it is far more logical 'than our own. We would very much re- sent being obliged to give an account of 'ourselves on demand, although such a syst in offers the only effective safe- guard against criminals. Yet honest men h, ve surely nothing to hide from in necessaryauthorityand those aced it is but A measure bf elfdefence' for society to know of the doings of those who are devoting their. energies to its destruction. Nor, is it taking a unfair, advantage of the criminal to trap hint into self -conviction where such a thing is possible.. After Bourdin succeeded in blowing himself to pieces, instead of destroying Greenwich Observatory, as he intended, the police were im- mediately stationed at the doors of the Autonomic Club, where he had been accustomed to deliver his philippics against society. During the evening eighty anarchists were compelled to render an account of themselves. It is interesting to" compare the trial of Valliant with that of the well -re- membered Haymarket outrage, the one nearest us and the one most dis- tinctly similar. On May 4th, 1886, the Haymarket bomb -throwing took place in Chicago. The trial of the accused anarchists began forty-eight days later, and they were found guilty on Feb. 20th. Then followed a motion for a new trial, the appeal, and the affirm- ance of Judgement by the Supreme Court. There was no delay through re- ference to a board of pardons or to the execution, as in Vaillant's case, yet the executive, did not take place until Nov. 11th of the following year. Two months in the case of France ; nine- teen months in that of the United States. Zella Nicolaus, who tried to get George Gould to pay her $40,000, pro- poses, it is said, to take the stage. Down in Pittsburg the charity authoi itAes' decline to give employment to unmarried men, and the result is said to a matrimonial boom. Malthus' theory was that times of plenty were pairing times, hut the wise men of Pittsburg aim at reversing that phenomenon. West W awitnosh, Last week you; might have seen a smile on most of the fanners' faces at the spring like weather. A great many trying the plow but not with very good success.

BLOOD POISONING.—A few weeks ago Johnny Johnston, son of Mr. Samuel Johnston, tax collector, had the mis- fortune to cut his knee with a drawing - knife while cutting kindling wood. Johnny, thinking that the cut was insignificant, went to school and en- gaged with the boys at school kicking foot ball, after which cold settled in the wound and blood poisoning was the result. 'We are happy to say that under the skilful treatment of Dr. Whitley, of Goderich, Johnny is likely to be at school before long. The Misses Stevens, of Brantford, are visiting at Mr. John W. Mc- Donald's, Maple Hurst farm, 6th con. Miss Kate McDonald, of Seafoh th, is visiting her brother, -Mr. Thomas Mc- Donald, of the 8th con.

Our village constable moves to -day to his new house on the 4th con. Let law breakers beware when they see Clear winking. It would be as well for that young man living on the cut line that wears the storm collar to get home a little earlier on Sunday nights, if not we would suggest that the night watch- man be instructed by the chief magistrate of the township to have the young man put in the cooler. A number from here are away to -day attending the marriage of Miss Sterl- ing, of Carlow, to Mr. Black, of Paisley. Last Thursday Mr•, John T.

The following letter appeared in the London Free Press of Wednesday. To the Editor of the Free Prose. Porter's Hill, Goderich Tp., March 2. DEAR SIR,—Would you please answer the following questions in your valu- able paper :—If A builds a dam to run a mill to grind for the public, can he flood on B's land? Is there an act passed in Parliament allowing A to flood on 13 by paying bins the price of the ;land ; if so where will I find it ? And oblige A SUBSCRIBER. ANS WER.—A cannot build •a darn to flood or injure B's property. There Was no act ever passed permitting any person to flood his neighbor's property, providing he purchased the same. Madam Patey, the famous English contralto, is dead. A tailor named Dow, residing at Mannheihn, Berlin, has submitted to the war office a blank cartridge of his own invention, the cost of which is only three pfennings. The blank cartridge now in use costs eight pfennings. It is estimated that the adoption of Dow's cartridge will reduce the ex- pense of the annual military manoeu- vres by 7,000,000 marks, Miss Maria Sydney Smith, of Dun- das, has left, a sum of $4,700 to he in- vested and the interest is to be paid "to the six poorest and most needy of the low church clergy of the Church -of England in the diocese of Algoma,, the executor, Albert Sydney Smith, of Muskoka, to use his discretion in mak- ing the selection." After the death of the executor the principal of the be- quest is to he divided among the nine low church clergy in Muskoka whom the Bishop may declare byletter to be the poorest and most needy.
