therefore, should not be held responsible
for debts contracted without his consent.
Judge„Tomsgave 's decision. last .week,
in favor of the m rchant, for the full
amount claimed, whi establishes the fact
that the,wife is the ag rft of the husband,

is not given..

A BIG SToilal —.On Thursday evening
' . last a tremendons. wind storm .prevailed
in this, as well as in other ---sections, and
did considerable damage,though nothing
• of a `serious nature: In town a number of
trees.. were uprooted,.the force of the wind
being tremendous, and sufficient ,to break
some very large trees. Fences were also
blown down, and buildings unroofed.
The stableattached to' the,. Episcopal
church; •.iiolmesville had thee. roof lifted
clean from it. A young man named Mc-
Phail, of Goderich township, while driv-
ing•fromtown, had' an •undesirable exper
ienee. He had just reached the farm of
Mr. H B Evans, when the wind caught
his waggon rack,' lifted it clear from the
•waggon, • and turned it over in the road,
McPhail falling beneath.it. Fortunately
he was not injured, and was •able to load•
up and resume his journey.
