EitiLLETT,
On the 28th of April the household of
Mr, George Youngblut, of the Maitland
block, was increased by the addition of
another daughter.
Mr. Jos. Govier has been disposing of
some of his stock, on Saturday he took a
hope to Seaforth, receiving therefor $194,
and two cows on Monday, to Mr. Joseph
Tewsley, for $100.
Lad week Mrs. John 'Murdock went to
the saw mill, where Mr. Murdock was
alone sawing. She began assisting him
in removing some edging from beside the
saw, her hand wascaught and two of her
fingers taken off. • A doctor was called in
and dressed the wound. It is doing as
well ns could -be expected.
A Goon SUBSTITUTE. --- Prof. Brown,
of the Model Farm, being absent in the
old country purchasing stock for the farm,
his plat* is being temporarily filled by
John McMillan, Esq., Reeve of Hullett,
who delivers several lectures every week
to the students,on "Practical Agricule
i
ture." That he s eminently well quali-
fied for this position, no one will deny,
and it is a fitting recognition of his abili-
ty that he is selected !Or the important
office. With all deference to Prof.BroWn.,
we believe he will find on his return that
the students have'. received instructions
whichhe could not impart.

THAT. OUTRAGE',
Brief reference was last week made to
the case of the girl Rates,of -Ooderich,
whe was ravishedin this vicinity. Since
that time a number if new facts have
been developed, the most important of
which was the arrest of the parties con-
cerned in the affair.
Acting on information gleaned, Chief
Constable Paisley, accompanied by , Con -
stable Youill, proceeded to Seaforth last
Friday, end arrested three parties charg-
ed with the commissioe of' the crime.
These were W. Hunter, 'bite driver, Fred
Soles, carpenter, and Chat. Herbert, tin.'
smith. An examination before the Mayor
elicited the information that, they got the
girl into the buggy at the Grand Union,
'drove her a short distance down the Sea -
forth rciad against her will, when Hunter
lifted her from the buggy and accomplish-
ed his villainous purpose, despite the
desperate struggles and outcries of the
girl, Soles being, an eye -witness of the
whole proceeding, and offering no assis-
tance to the girl.. On this evidence the
Mayor remanded them to jail for several
days.
As they were being taken to the station,
a large crowd followed them, and had it
yielded to the impulse of its feelirgs,
woutd have made short woi k of the trio.
Medical examination of the girl • showed
that the fight she made for her honor
must have been a fearful one,as her
limbs were black and blue, while her
neck was in ' a like condition, showing
that an attempt had been made to shut off
her outcries. Since the affair she -huts re-
mained in such a low stete of health, that
no one has been allowed to see her except
the doctor, • •
On Wednesday, 'the. prisoners were
broughtupbefore-MafeneForrester and
Horton, in Goderich, when sufficient eye,
donee was elicited to Commit Hunter for
trial; and the otherswere remanded for
eight days, in the hope that by that time
the girl will have sufficiently :recovered
'to appear againsethem. - se • '

There are several things corninected
with•the case that have not been publioly
explained, and cennot be until the Wei
comes'off, which may put a different com-
plexion on the case,- but in the Meantime
several persons here come in :for no mean
amount of censure for their course in con-
nection with the matter. We have no
deeire to prejudice the case, but we hope.
that no mock -sentiment will prevent the

city and the Railway authorities, for that

don Via, Clinton. The county town at-,

with the same result, all declared, how-

and not dangerous. The man insisted .
.fipon going•te the. HOspltal, 'at London,
and Dr. Whitely drove him nearly to the
station, rather than allow him to go in a .
crowded bus. The worst feature of the
case occurred when Little took a seat. in
a first close car where there were a large
number a others, and rode toClintoneAr. -

advised the railway company authorities -
that with certain precautions Little might t •
safely be taken to London. Dr. Moore, of
