THE LIBERTY TO UTTER AND To ARGCE

OF CONSCIENCE WE PRIZE ABOVE ALL
Ltickaow, Jute 24th., 1808
The Toronto Synod of the Anglican
Church has by a vote of GI to 1.3
decided that its ministeni should not
solemnize the marriage of any divorced
person, no matter how innocent' he or
she may be.
1 he Philadelphia Bulletin says that
Spain is seeking peace in this way :
" Will France kindly inspore Austria
to ask Germany if she will beseech
Russie to urge Italy to entreat of
Epeland that she supplicate the United
States to end the .agony ae soon as
possible 1"
Henry Clews remarks in his latest
banking eircular that. there is no
abatement of the revived prosperity of
the railroad& On the contrary the
crop prospecta promise another harvest
of unusual abundance, and though
'the prices of the new crops may not
rule so ,high as thoae of the past
aeason, yet the results to the railroads
sbouki equal those of the crops
of 1897.
An unusual. occurrence took place
Dufferin- Courtty Court last week -
The judge ioubly won the customary'
white gloves, for there was not a single
case to try—either civil or criminal.
His honor had no other duty to per.
form than to tell the grand jurors to

Provincial Road Instructor Camp-
bell, speaxing at Dungaenobn recently,
said: From the Bureau of Statistic! it
wag found that in the rural munici-
palities of Ontario 1,000,000 days of
statute labor and i32,500,000 were
spent each year on the rolds, or, ih
ten years an equivalent of $48,000,
000. With this amount he could ue-
manner all the roads in these 'mini-
cipalities," The good roads move-.:.
rnent did not begin too soon.
On the smokestack of each of the
transports carrying United States
troops to Cuba is painted the number
of the vessel in huge white ietters.
There are 31 transports, but the figures
run up to 32. The reason for this is
that there is no No. 13. The Army
and Navy authorities would not take
the chances of hoodooing the expedi-
tioc by having that unlucky number
on a vesael. Now what could any
antagonist do against men who thus
guard against the whims of fate ?

The Kinloss cemetery is in a very

Marriage Superetiuone.
June was the month which the
Romans considered the most propitious
season of the year for contracting
matrimonial engagements, especially if
the day chosen was that of the full
moon or the conjunction- of the sun
and moon ; the month of May was
especially to be avoided, as under the
influence of spirits adverse to happy
households. The superstition still
holds good in many quarters, although
there is much rbout the season of the
year to lend charm and leauty to the
marriage cereniony, which recommend
it above other months.
Odcifellows Decoration
On Friday afternoon last a num
ber of Oddfellown, headed by the
Lucknow brass band marched nut to
the Kinloss cemetery to pay their
annual visit of respect to the graves
of their departed brethern. Before
the ceremony of decoration had taken
place, all the graves belOnging to the
Oddfellows and Workman societies,
were cleaned of weeds, grasses, etc ,
and oa the arrival of the brethern at
the cemetery each grave waa visited
and flowers planted thereon. A short
religious service was then held, by the
W. M. Duthy, and Ur- earnest and
appropriate addresses of both gentle-
rnen were greatly appreciated by the
brethern present.
1. 0. F. Anniversary service.
A large and most respectable gather-
ing of the brethren took place :ast
Sunday to attend in a body their
annual church service. The C. 0. F.
were kindly - invited to take part.
The two societies united marched to
the Church of England. The minister,
the Rev. Mr. Duthie, preached a inost
practical and apprt priate sermon on
the text " Who is My Neighbor."
The I. 0. F. of Lucknow are a flourish-
ing society, their court is strong in
numbere and their executive are men
of first-class ability and experietice.
One of the most pleasing features of
the event is the k• •

and C. 0. F. They are both engaged
in a good work, the objects of each
are deserving of our raoet cordia

The parlour meeting at the home

THE COUNTY COURT.
The June sittings of the Connte
opened here on Tuesday afternoon, his
Honor, Judge Barrett, presiding, and
as we go to press it is still grinding
away. The docket consisted, of two
civil cases, one of which was triett with
a jury and the other without a jury
and two critoinal cases to go before
the. (=rand Jury. In both of the
!atter, true bills were found, but
the only one, that of the Queen again
t Aliso for putting obstructions ou
the railway track at Tara, will be tried
The other is that of the Queen against
Helm, to which reference is made else-
whete. The first civil case Will an
interpleader action, and for the spec-
tators e at practically devoid of inter-
est. The parties to it live in the
'Township of Kinloss and are all far-
mers. It appears that one Wm. Mo -
Donald of the eforesaid township two
years ago failed, and made an , assign -
went for the benefit of his credieors.
The private bank at Teeswater held
a ch.tte! mortgage on the stock, and
sele of the stuff was held in March of
this year. Some of the stock was
bought in by his son, and the creditors
or some of them, assuming that the
trans ction was a crooked one, seized
the scut] on -an execution which they
held against the old man. The son
then broy,glit an action for the recover-
ery of his goods and the jury returned
a verdict in his behalf Mr. Stephens,
of Teesvi.ier, acted tor the plaintiff,
and Mr. Morrison nf L icknow for the
defendant. This disposed of, Letti-
meragainst Rittinger was then taken
up Reference to this m ate'. has al-
ready beire mede in Toe Telescope.
Briefly the circuuistancee are these•—
