A young man named Marchand, re- siding about a mile west of Tilbury, and Miss Bully, of Tilbury East, decid- ed to commit matrimony some weeks ago. The couple had been called in the R. C. church there and the wedding was to have taken place on Monday. The trousseau had all purchased Marchand furnishing the eenecessary check. However, the prospettive bride changed her mind and decided that she didn't want to be tied. up for a while yet. Therefore she quietly left home and has not yet returned or sent any excuse to her ardent lover. Marchand went down to her father's house im- mediately and laid claim to the wed- ding dresses which he had purchased. •plip•Ole•111,11•11111.1•Rtenalltlat•e•rariarsdit Craig An accident occurred Saturday af- ternoon to John Gunn, M.

Free Press says:—"The victory of the Liberal party thnakighout the country has already borne fruit of a disastrous character to the city of London. Over 100 men were turned out of employment on Saturday night, because nobody yet knows what Mr. Laurier's policy is, and how far the first onslaught on the National Policy is to be carried. The result may be exceedingly dis- heartening to the unfortunate men and their families, as well as to the whole business community; as thee() is no bright side to the story, for nowhere have the factories or foundries increas- ed their staff of workmen, The danger is that there will be more dismissals, unless the Liberals swallow their tariff doctrine, and approve the National Pol- icy by adopting it The London & Petrolea Barrel Com- pany employes felt the depression most severely. Over half of their total num- ber, or sixty sixty men in all, did not come baeltato work Monday. And the wages of the workingman has been re- duced to $1 a day, where the lowest wages formerly paid was $1.25. "Thestrouble is the uncertainty of the tariff,” a representative of the company told a Free Press reporter. "In other years we have been able to go on man- ufacturing throughout the slack sea- son, but we cannot do so now. The oil business gives us our main support; we make 3,060 oil barrels every sea- son. The change of Government lost us at least one big job We had an order from George Matthews, the Otte wit pork packer, for 4,000 barrels, .but his place burned down just before elec tion, and he will not rebuild until the tariff is settled. So this season is gone, at any rate." Sixteen hands were laid off at the London Bolt and Hinge Works, This factory is enabled to continue only un- der a protection of.80 per cent., and the management felt impelled to reduce their staff in order not to be caught. with a large stock on band. At Leonard'gfoundry two men were laid off Saturday night, At McOlarey's 34 men in the stove foundry were dismissed Saturday night because of the uncertainty of the tariff. An effort was made to operate so as to divide the work, giving three days a week totwo sets of men.. But this was found impracticable. Six hands were laid off at the &O- pens' foundry Saturday night. The same reason is given bythe firm. They refuse to manufacture for stock, with the probability of a reduction in the tariff staring them in the face. • Tuckerstnith: Mr,. Neil Brown, of the 9th concession fell on Saturday last breaking his thigh Wile. Re Dashwciod School, Returns For North Middlesex. Some time ago the people of Dash wood petitioned the councils of Hay and Stephen to takelhe necessary steps to form a Uuion School in Dashwood, to be composed of parts of schools 4 and 11 in Stephen, and 6 and .8 in Hay. The councils of Hay and Stephen find. ing the petitions in order, and coesid• ering the request was reasonable, ap- pointed by by-laws, arbitrators, who in due time met, heard interested parties and made their conformity with the sections of the School Act relating there- to. In due time the required number appealed to the County Council to set the work of the arbitrators, and appoint others in order that a change in the boundaries of the Union and on a dif- ferent basis be made, The County arbitrators met on 26 ult., 'heard evi- deuce etc. The new scheme is called the Grand Union, and I understand it, is to be composed of S. S. No. 11, in Stephen, and S. S. No. 8 in Hay leaving out the 5 Jots of S. S. No. 4, Stephen, and the one lot S. S. No. 6, Hay. Of course the Trustees of these two last sections would favor the Graffd Union and very likely some of the villagers, inasmuch as the cost of building a School House in Dashwood would. be paid by all the ratepayers of S. S. No. 11, Stepp!), and S. S. No. 8, Hay, ac, cording to the boundary of last year. Such being the case, many would have to contribute to build, and maintain a school about six miles from their resi- dences. This seems to me to be a gross injustice, the Dashwood school to be only a branch of the other two, to be ruled atd governed by the authorities of the Grand Union. Authority is given arbitrators to unite, or separate schools. The query is can they form a union where schol. lars would be distant over thrse miles in a direct line from school house; could a union ,S. S. be larger iinextent than a non-union ? In a a orilinaryschool the radius cannot exceed three miles. In this grand Union scheme the radius exceeds five and a half miles, Is this law ? I think not. No'. 8 of Hay, or No, 11, of Stephen, must loose its title or number. There would be one union and two branch schools. Would. this work harmoniously ? Could tax for school puiposes be collected from a rate pay. en over three miles from school house? The act, I think, is plain, that tax can not be collected from a person over three miles. If the branch school was within the three miles, the case would be different. If it is so that No. 11. be the union, No. S is the branch. The Colin. AS of Ray, and. Stephen clid all the law required of them, by appointing arbi- trators and the arbitrators, in myesti rna- don, made an award as near justice as was possible to do under circumstances. They evidently wished to do justly be- tween all parties. I think the spirit of the law governing such cases, is that is would have been necessary for the appealants to have shown that the first arbitrators had not done their duty conscientously aud not in accordance with facts. The County Council in appointing arbitrators must have been convinced that the first award was uncertain and not final; that it contains a mistake on the face of it; that the proceedings are irregular; that there was corruption, or collusion by arbitrators; that there was fraud, or cencealment of material evi deuce; that the award cannot be acted on. Any one I pet sume might be suffi- cient to render the award void. The county arbitrators will have to be paid, and who is to do it ? The School Sections will object, as an un• necessary expense; but this is a question that the arbitrators will decide. - Below is the gerre"e'Cinte given. Tues. day, June 23rd,sat the several polling places in North Mid.dlesex, -according to' the Returning officer's declaration, viz : Clinton: Mrs. Moore, of Detroit, (w e of Hugh 'Moore, of Clinton) was recent ey run over by a street car, receiving such serious injuries that her recovery is doubtful; she is a daughter of Mrs. W. Davis of town. Seaforth: Mr. John Sutherland fell from his bicycle on Wednesday even- ing, breaking his collar bone. John seems to be having particularly bad luck, as during the past few weeks he has been unable to use one of his hands from the effect of an accident sustain. ed at the Ogilive mill where lie is em ployed. Clinton: We are sorry to record the death of. the wife of Mr. Alfred Moore, which occurred at the residence on the Fair farm, on Friday. Deceased, has been in poor health for about two years yet her death was unexpected. She was the youngest daughter of the late Anthony Dodsworth, and was only 47 years of age, St. Marys: As J. Egan, R. Nolan And. A. Ready were returning' from a dstalte at 2 o'clook Monday morning, they noticed a light in Smith & Burns grocery. Looking through a window' they discovered two tramps inside burglarizing 'the prerdises. Investiga- tion showed they bad entered through the transom at.the rear. They unlook- ed the back door, pulled off their boots, lit a couple of lamps and went to work. P. C. Dunn was notified while °there kept guard and in a few moments the burglars were under arrest and march- ed to the cooler. They had every draw - or in the shop emptied, the till. of its contents some $2. On finding they were to be nabbed they threw the silver •into an oatmeal keg and the coppers in a box. The prisoners gave their names as Charles Mackie of Toronto and' Thomas Black of Quebec. • Parkhill 1 ••.••• 47 85, 2 ..... .. . ..• . .... . 6554 48 44 • • • p • • Ailsa Craig ...... 4 • • " • • • 166 127 60 99 60 99 West Williams............5 ' 52 sa 6 , . , 29 62 7 .. . 59 77 3.40 22 East Williams. 8 . 47 109 9 30 72 10 55 105 .152 286 Exeter ........ 11 12 13 14 • • • • Lucan 15 10 Biddulphe 17 .. . 18 19 20 21.
