Wahl 01,444 LIBEL SURD.
Tbe verdict of the jury in the libel
emit of Creasy J. Whellains agairtst the
Manager of the Mail is attracting a
good deal of attention jeet now, and
(many mid eevere ere the adveree mid-
lefseue passed upon it by both the Con-
eervative and he independent Reform
prees-that reunion not so anximis for
at party t, iumph as for the maintenance
of the liberty of the people. The con-
duct of the Ontario Government iu titk-
inn onto itself the prosecution of an
peosition journal for publishing stric-
tures on the character of one of it.
hirelings cannot be too strongly con-
demned. Had there been -any deubt in
the minds of reasonable men ii,s to the
truth of the leleit's charges, public sem-
paatay might be extelided to thetiov-
ernment in an endeavor to protect an
innocent mate But no one who read
the defeudant's aifidavit, published iu
the Mai/ after the coeclusion of the
triu.lnbut which the prosecution womd
not ailow to be produced in court, can
come to any other conclusion than that
the Mait's charges were well substanti-
ated. Nor could there be ally questioo
regarding the reliability of the souree
'whence the itiformatioss was procured.
The tabulated charges weie not solici-
ted, but volunteered, end forwarded re-
peatedly through vu' iota soutees, to the
Onion° Governmeut, by au association
teganized iu Englaud fer the purpose
ef aiding eznigration, and in the ranks
of which was a Minister of the Crown.
This honorabh °eentlernan dared Whel-
lams to sue hintfor . libel. In not al -
Jeweler the defendant to issuea commis -
to take evidence in: England, the
Government acted most unfairly. Then
we have the spectacle of a Government
violating the law to trample on the lib -
et ty of the Opposition press and to
shield a mu whose proper aboCle would
be in a penitentiary. This war in forc-
ing eleven jitrors of uncertain mind to
stan4l aside and make roam fer eleven
eeternained Grits, who they well knew,
would be certain to retnru a verdict
against the Mail. If this be law, we
want less law and more justice. What
a degradiug spectacle it is toetheeProv-
ince to see a member of the Govern-
inent exhibiting such ecetatic joy at
the verdect given epee -lit an opponent

'-iiiig so outrageously violent ,against a

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••MITNIIMOIS
ON Friday last there were two indict-
ments brought iu by the Grand Jury
of Salt Lake City tor lascivious cohabi-
tation, and it is generally believed they
were against Brigham. Young and Geo.
O. Cannon. The days of lormonism
are fast drawing to a close.
THE way it's dew. If a member of
the Governtnent or any of its employes
think* himself libelled, all he has to do
is to enter a suit in the name of the
Queen aud thus sate costa should the
ease preve to be adverse.
THE Kincardine lievie.), libelled Geo.
Brown, and a jury placed the damages
at $100. The Mail libelled Creasy J.
Whellanis, and a jury placed the dam-
ages at $200. Are we to conclude from
these facts that Whelan& character is
worth twice as much as Brown's.
IT is said that the venerable and rev-
erend rooster Horrocks Cocks talks of
resigning hia position as a McKellar
emigration agent, because some have
doubted his righteousness and others
have attempted to e blast his young
life." It is to be hoped he will neon -
Meer his determination, not that he is
of any particular use to the country as
au entigretion agent (that were a hbel
on -- well, on even thellams)-but
that he serves as a pattern of sanctified
dea.d-beatism which it were well to
avoid. There is nothing created that
has not a use, although many live end
die without showing for what use they
were created. -Sowith HOrrOdtS.
THE following for C. J. Whellams,
which we clip from a letter to Satur-
day's Free Press :
StE,-Allow me, through 3 our valua-
ble leapez , to let the outside world know
what a "rap on the knuckles" our
Clear Grit Couneil of Chatham gave
.Mr. Creasy Whellams. This person
shievel to Chathern a dozen or so of
dirty, diseased immigrants. They were
not fit to work, so our Town Council
had to keep them, for which bills were
rendered amounting to over a hundred
dollars. •Our Council had enough of
Jr. Whellams and his progeny, and at
its next meeting passed a motion in
structing the Town Clerk to inform the
head of the Immigration Department
not to send any more such specimens
ofe humenity. Mr. Whellams must
have felt sour over this rap from a
Clear Grit Council. It must show that
the good, honest Reformers are getting
disgusted eith McKellar and kis tribe.

G. Willis to purchase grain foe him on
the market, and to transaet any other
busiuess in the village connected with
the mill. He wants any quantity of
wheat, and he very wisely asks the
farmers to bring it in the morning.
STAMP Youa I3iens.-Many ceuntry
merchants are in the habit of returning
their bills to wholesale houses signed
but not stamped. This should not be;
undei the amended Stamp Act the con-
ditions concerning stamps are very
strict. Every person, therefore, who
sigus a note should, in their own in-
terest- cancel the stamp themselves.
FURS. -We see it reported by elm
dailies that the furs are not yet as
plentiful along the Ottawa as they have
been in previous years, nor as plenti-
ful as they are supposed to be. But
Broderick has secured an excellent lot,
he says. Howe% er, these are last year's
furs, you must urderstand, and man -
featured into tippets, muffs, etc.
To SPOETS.-We have received the
initial number of the Canadian Sports-
man, published by Messrs. Gosset &
Jose of Toronto. Aa a specimen of
typographic excellence it bears its
character well, and as a recorder of
doings of the turf, field and flood, its
appearance would indicate it to be an
exact one. The subscription price is
$8 per RDHUID.
DANCING Szesoa.-The near approach
of the seasonof long evenings and so-
cial gatheriug,a is foreshadowed by
other events aside from the rigil figures
of the almanac, and the tailing leaves
rustling in shaded streets, and none of
these are more clear than the move -
meats cif the devotes of Terpischore.
The latter are remiuded that tile TIMES
ob room is the place to get' tasty ball
programmes and circulars.
IT'S YOUR INTERESt.-Now don't be
quarreling as. those do who make a
business of lending money. It's not
the direct interest you will receive by
the lending of your money to much
advantage but you will receive an in-
direct interest for it, now. Bisset Bros.
declare that you will receive' a big in-
terest on your money by purchasing
your stoves, youralinware, and hard-
ware at their establishment. Their
change of advt. is really ef interest.
The stock which they have laid in is
large.
• Peni
iere.---There s no reason why
people should fear very close times this
winter. The wheat and barley crops
were abundant :and command fair
prices. The farrneks, as ageueral thing,
raised wheat and•will be provided With
more than the usual'amount of rrioney.
••The lees. efeetheseOritesesespeatill be felt,
of course, but wilt net heeessarily make
times closer than they have been for
some time. Hay stacks cover the face
of the country in all directione, which
is a stun sign that the farmers are pro-
vident and have provided carefulty for
their stock,
MUTUAL IMPRoVEMENTS.-A rinitnal

MOLSON'S: BANK. -The following
which we glean from the report ,of the
animal general meeting of the above
institution may be of interest to many
of our readers: "The Molsons Bank
premises are set down at $186.000. I
may tell you, gentlemen, that this re-
presents the actual cost of the whole of
Bank premises and the various plaees
where we have branches. We, are
erecting a building in London. The
premises there will cost in theneigbbor,
hood of $40,000, and we could dispose
of them to -morrow if we %jelled at a
considerable advance rate upon the
price paid. We expect to sit rent free,
or very nearly eo, because the building
is well adapted for offices, and we shall
be able tolet them to advantage. Then
again. we have opened premises at St.
Thomas, and I am satisfied that we
could get au advance of titty per cent,
for our property in that town. At Exe-
ter, where we have also a branch, we
can easily sell atan advance." • We are
pleased to know that the branch in this
place is doing a good and increasing
busiuess.
Council Proceedings.
The wisdom of the Village of Exeter
aesembled in the court room on Moue
day evening last. Present, the Reeve,
and Councillors Verity, Pickard and
Ross.
Minutes of previoua meeting read
and confirmed.
The following accounts were ordered
to be paid 1. Whitlock, 10 days' labor,
14.00; W. Lucre, 8 days' labor, $10,-
50. Thos. Thompson $3.
The reeve sterna that 7.tit. Matthart
had determined not to collect the taxes
for nothing, as he agreed to do, but
that he would do so for $10.
Moved by W. H. Verity. seconded by
J. Ross, That Mr. Senior be appointed
collector at a salary of $25. -Carried.
THE seeeees.
The question of opening up the two
streets intersecting Main street was
then taken up and discussed.
The reeve stated that he had spoken
to Dr. Browning about the lot, and the
Dr. informed Win that he would sell
when forced to do so, said not until then.
Mr Ross was of the opinion that it
was. more important that the streets
suoule be even on Main street than on
the back streets, and it would. be better
to secure the property on Main street
directly opposite the existing street.
Mr. Pickard said it was of more im-
portance that they should be straight
OD back streets, as people seldom cross
the Maiu street, generally turning to
the right or to the left, while on back
streets they usually keep straight ahead.
Mr. Verity thought, with °tilers, that
it would be for the benefit of the village
to have Dr. Brc wning's lot for a street.
Dr. Browning was present, and on
being requested to state his intentions,
he said he Was determined to hold on
to the lot and fight for it to the last.
There was really no nee'essity for the
street, and it would benefit only a few
of the ratepayers --only increasethe val-
ue of,Mr. Eacrett't, Mr. Broderick's, and.
Mr. Carling's propel ty. The people
were•therefore opposed to the scheme.
If an appeal were made to the ratepay-
ers, it would be found that the major -
Ly are against putting the village to the
expense of opening a street for the ben-
efit of but a few persons. Let the
Council try it, and the people would
show that they are opposed to it. But
yet, if either Mr. Pickard itr Mr. Car-
ling, who seem SO anxious to see the
street opened for the ennvenience 01
the people, would give him and Mr.
Percy the same amount of frontage be-
side himself (and his property was as
valuable as theirs), he would most wil-
lingly let the lot go, and the person
getting it could then dispose of it to the
Council for a continuatiori oflhe street.
The Reeve said the village would
have to pay cash for the land. and it
would be well to consider our financial
position. At present we could ill af-
ford to spend a large ansouet of inoney
in buying streets.
Mr. Itoss thought the streets should
be fpened this year if we heel to borrow
the money. Next year the parties will
want double the amount they now ask,
and we would have to borrow the mon-
ey then.
The Reeve thought that as the street
beside Mr. Bissett's premises would
cost the least money, it would be better
to have it opened and allow the othar
street to lay over for future consider -
tion.
Mr, Verity expressed his intention 6f
seeing to it next, year, if elected to th
Council, that those parties who toe
value t1icr property so high are assest
sea at that value,
It was then moved by Mr. Rose, se?.,
onded by Mr. Veeity, That. Mr. Willie'
and Mr. Piekard be authoriied by tlf*
Connell to offer Mr. Bierett $500 foe
the half-stteet, 00 feet in width, ene.
tending from Main to Withal' s, anil
if Mr„ Bissett refuse the offer, to heti,

was near Granton, refused theticket,
mid told Thompson he had travelled on
it before Thompson called him a
liar, When the conductor told him that
he Would put: him off at the next sta-
tion. Thompson, boweVer, got off of
his own accord. He went to cne uf
the hotels iri the villa -se, and had ten.
While returning he came by •way of
the track, and fell into one of the cat-
tle guards, breaking his arm. The
station master and Mr. Foreman o
this 'village Were important witnesses.
The verdict of jury was $1800 datitagee
