At this time the temperature will rise decidedly, the barometer will fall pro- gressively from west to east, and gen- eral storms of rain and wind, turning to snow in the north. will pass east- wardly across the country, all follow- ed by another decided rise of the bar- ometer, northwesterly winds and much colder. The public should keep in tnind the possibility of dangerous floods during the month of March. Frozen streams and rivers that do not break up in February will bring absolute danger to all localities not entirely above the reach ofsuch dang- er. The month will not bring a max- imum of cold, but much precipitation in the form of rain, sleet or snow will occur, with disagreeable fluctuations of temperature, an unsteady state of the barometer. and some furious storms. A Venus period centering near the time of the 'Vernol equinox, is always an admonition that disagree- able weather and many severe to dangerous storms and other perturba- tions are to be expected. Died at itirktoe• Scarcely four weeks have elapsed since the home of Mr. and Mrs. '[Vin.

The deceased had been visiting with his brother, Samuel, at Mr. El- liott's, his brother in-law, and on Sat- urday night the two started for their home here, but had driven only a mile or no when deceased was taken sud- denly ill of phnemonia and growing gradually worse they deemed it advis- able to return to Kirkton. On arriv- ing medical aid was ttum1lllll d, but his condition was such that nothing could be done to relieve his sufferings and on Sunday morning about eight o'clock be lasted away. He was aged 27 years. The funeral took place .Mon- day from the residence of Mr. i:ihott to the Kirkton cetnetery and was largely attended. The bereaved par- ents and relatives have the sytnpathy of their friends. k • • t+ t d c+ e 14 f H • f e t a e Scat. at;.d. Nine months In Central Prison was the sentence passed Saturday last by Judge Elliott, of London, and Squire Smith, of Ailsa Craig, on J.T. Westcott, county constable of Exeter, who had previously confessed to blackmail. l'he Advertiser says: - "There were two charges against Westcott. The fleet, to which he pleaded guilty before Squire Smith, of Ailsa Craig, was that. of obtaining money by threats from a Mc(irllit•ray Township ratan, named John Wilson. The second Was t hat of attempting to obtain stoney by the same means from Mrs. Dart. wife of Mr. Dart, it butcher, residing near London Junction. Saturday morn ing Westcott was arraigned before Judge Edward Elliott. on the latter charge, and he pleaded guilty. lir was represented by Mr. Dickson, of Exeter, who presented a petition sign• ed by many residents ofF Exeter and vicinity,asking that leniency should be shown to the prisoner. Judge Elliott, however, could not see his way clear- ly to let Westcott off. His honor spoke of the seriousness of the crime, alioo dwelton the fact that Westcott had taken such an advantage of his posi- tion as a county enneteblr. Under all the circumstances the court decided to impose a sentence of nine months in the Central. Westcott was then brought before Squire Snaith for sentence on the other charge. Squire Smith also gage Westcott it severe reprimand, and imposed the same sentence as did the county judge. The sentences will run conrorrently. which means that Westcott will not have his liberty until the end of the year. As was expected, several other cartes have arisen. As soot as WeatcotYs came was disposed of, Crown Attorney McKillop got atter the ones who had been complainants against. Weateott. John Wilson, farmer, of McGillivray Township, was hrouvht irfore Police Magistrate Smith. of Ailsa Craig, on the charge of selling a diseased cow as butchers' meat. He was found guilty and fined 115 and costs. On Sat- urday, Charles Myers, a hutehPr. am (Iodated with Thomas Dart, who is alleged to have bought the cow, watt brought before Squire John B. Smythe and Thomas Dart came before the same magistrate this morning. Both were examined on the serious charge of selling diseased meat. and both were remanded until next Seturday at 2 o'clock, when they will be tried. They were allowed hall. Every effort will he made by the crown to put a stop to the selling of diseased meat. The public has reason to be thankful for the Westcott case. which will per- haps lesd to a series of discoveries.

Miss Bella Box is at present confined to the Stratford hospital through ill- ness. On Tuesday last while two of Mr. Samuel Fanson's little boys were play- ing together at their home they got into a wrangle as boys will do and be- ing that no one was there to curb them one of the little fellows allowed his temper to get the better of hitt. With knife in hand he made an onslaught on his little brother and in Jack -the -rip- per style slashed him unmercifully about the face and neck.
