Weighty Matter,—An idea of : the extent of manufactnriug carried i on in Galt may be obtained from' the fact that within the past week or two upwards of three thousand tons of raw material, in the shape of pig and other iron, have been receiv­ ed for our various foundries and machine shops, at the several rail­ way stations. In a comparatively short time the material will be scatterd over the entire Dominion in the shape of highly finished mach­ inery of one kind and another.— .Reporter June 5. A Bxq Loss,—-Last week Mr. Stewart McDougall met with a big loss in the death of his favorite im ported horse, “Fearnot.” The an­ imal had been ailing .for a short time ’with an affection of the throat, and Was thought to be recovering when he succumbed to an attack of acute indigestion, at the Rattenbury stables, Clinton. “Fearnot” was probably the beat pedigreed heavy draft animal in the Province and his death is pot only a regrettable oc­ currence on account of the heavy pecuniary loss it entails upon Mr. McDougall (about $2,500), but .it will occasion regret among some of our best stock men on account of their being prevented this year from improving the breed .of their stock to as great extent as they otherwise would. Mr. McDougall has the sympathy of all who,know him, and his pecuniary Iobs is certainly a discouraging reward for tlfe outlay he incurred and the enterprise and judgment he displayed in importing such a-valuable animal. • Optical Delusion or Mistaken Identity.—“Seeing is believing” is an often accepted truism. The fact of the matter is that'there are, probably, none of the. senses tthat are so ape to be deceived that of physical sight.. Under different cir­ cumstances the same individual will see a particular object in a different lighjz,,.. .There is'the peculiarity of strabismus when our own optics tell ub thce person iB -looking At’ us or at a given object, but the. party so af Aided well ted us he is looking in a totally different direction. There is a very great .prevalence jof_jcoliir„ blindness, persona who cannot tell the difference between t' e shades of an orange lily and a gjpeen shamrock, Tlieh we know-that-altitude and-the- rarity of the atmosphere brii.gs dis­ tant objects abnormally and decep­ tively near to one.. A-,point ten or twelve miles- distant will, sbipetimes seem almost within a stone throw. Yes, men’s optics-are fearfully and .sometimes telescopically made.

If anything ware want­ ing to elucidate anil further confirm * that, position, circumstances connect­ ed with the alleged rescuing of a’cow ■by a-private citizen from an official of the town of Clinton, one evening last week, won Id supply the omission. It is unlawful for cows to run at -I arge-w-i tlti i i-th e-eo rpo rate-lit nits-of-- the town of CHifton, between . the .hd.ars of 8 o'clock p. m. ajnd 6 o’clock a; tn. On the nieht ill question Luke Trouse. the official referred to, with an assistant found some horned cattle at large'during the restricted .hours. They were driving them to the’pound when, so.it is alleged, aji employe of-Thos. Tiplitig interfered and ‘ declared he' would “kick,” “make it hot for”, or in wOrds equiv­ alent declared his determ i ation to. pi-event the impounders from tak­ ing along one of the "coiws which he said belonged to his employer Mr. Tipling. Fp'r . this the young rtiari’ was fined on Thursday. On Friday Mr. Tipling himself was charged be­ fore the Mayor with rescuing his cow uom the alleged lawful clutches of ■Mr...Trouse. Mark Copp who was with Mr* Trouse testified to finding cows on the coininons ; to driving them along the highway when he was stopped by Tipling’s employe ; that when listening to the threats, of. said employe the cattle turned a ..corner..-JLefore-cotning-to-.-Ti p lin g-8- premises,but that hp nevjBr lost sight ’ of them and that acow claimed by Mr. Tipling to have been .on his premises' all tlte evening; was one of them;’ that the night was quite clear. Mr. Tiplmg testified, that it was impos­ sible, lor his-cow to haveibeen one of those found at large as she was-iii „his possession all- the’ evening; lie Was expecting her to drop a calf and was particular in looking after fier ; that when Mr. Trouse demanded the' cow he told that official lie could not' have her that h©'did not give her jqp,:.tha(t he could .hot. rescue a Cdw kfter 8 b’cldck WaLwi'S already ’n -pis-possfession and haLnot_beei)_out_ ‘ofYt^ir'evening.^mTYlibugL^tire evening was so dark that he could not see a cow five feet from him, he '■'^iewn^a£*nie'cbw' was in his posB- e i n all the time because he, couid put out his hand and-touch her;- that owipg to the darkness of the evening Trouse And his aid must have ■ been mistaken. In fortlmr proof of this Mr. Tipling testified to taking a lamp, after Trouse hud left him, and found a cow belonging to XV, Weir, which must have b< Hthe one 1’rouse Was after, about 25 jtards away.' 'There was a bull along with her. This cow was , the mother of his, Tiplmg’s, and was of same weight, height and Color, and the one could not be distinguished from the other except by the ritrgs otr tlie horns. The case was evidently an optical delusion,or mistaken identity. ‘And Mr, Tiplingjco'uld a< count for the mistake of Trouse and his aid by. tlmir alt wing the cattle to get .out of .their sight, the night, being dark, and coining up to - Tiplin'g’s and finding thefe the exact coun * part of one they had been driving to.; the pound, they • naturally pounced upon hisi this was.where they made the mistake. Whether it was owing to the darkness of the nighfy 1H effect upon the optics of Mr, Trouse and hjs aid, the density of the atmosp- lierfi when “tjie evening shades pres vail,” or the Siamse similarity of the cows, Mr, Tipiingrconclusively prov­ ed that the identity of his COW with the one Trouse had on the road to the pound could not be entertained for a moment.

Have You Got Worms.?—There is a peripatetic genius going the round’of private houses locking for “worms.” He is understood to have; a panacea for aH diseases, and the root of all these is Vworms.”. .Kill the worms and you will destroy all disease. . He must do some business or lie would not travel. . It passes comprehension how any rational per-, son can patronise such quacks, men whom they have never seen before, who have obtained a smattering of medical.terms from patent medicine almanacs etc., and whose conversat­ ion, appearance and occupation prove that they know nothing of the “healing art.” But they do sell their wares, to the great danger of the lives ’ of the persons using them. Surely there is culpable credulity-on - the part of a portion of the public ; the woman folk are the orfes whom this-class of quacks most easily im­ pose upon. Time and again we have seen in the daily newspapers where persons have lost their lives jrr wrecked their systems by placing confidence in travelling quacks whose alleged herb dr other medicine was going to cure them—-in some cases of only fancied - ail meh ts. jSTot long since one of these gentry punctured the skin, back of the ear,on the head of a child- in London, Ont., and left solne quack oil to be rubbed in. The “herb’l oil . contained sufficient of some poisonous drug tp throw the., child into convulsions from which it died. - The quack .was tried for mur­ der which.was changed tomanslaugh-. ter, found guilty and sent to prison’ Only the other <jay 0,10 °f th0?6 quacks was fiiied $115 for practicing his cure all business in Peelee Island, Essex County, ;Ontario; "Where there are resident physicians and. . druggists whom the law say# are competent persons ' in jlieir several ' lines and whom the public know and can have a choice of-.in consulting, there is no excuse for-persohs trust-, ing their, lives, with the possibility of being cheated out of their nioney £s well, to uoti-professional strangers and tramps who wander from; door to door seeking whom they may en- .trap. ■ -This genius who lias been go- ing the rounds of private houses in Clinton, when' he finds the inmatep have not worms, will, from—a-casuaL l,ook at the’ female inmates, impart the information that all women are subject to peculiar ailments and-pro ceed to form a diagnosis of the pat- ticula:- aileg'd infirmity of those be­ fore him with a view r, i selling his nostrum? If lie is allowed to pre­ scribe lie will most likely give them .some p.otibii which, like.that of his Yank<- prototype, will give them “worms ’. ■ Whb11 bh has , their, ail­ ment reduced to “worms” then is .the tinier for his particular nostrum pit is “death on worms”. _ , • TuiFLRSV“The Exeter boys took second prize in the 1 titer national Hoe^1 Reel race at the Brantford touriia' ineiit last week—The Brussels.
