On Monday morning last, the caee of vio- lation of the Scott Act, preferred by in- spector Sprague against Mr. John Hawk - was tried before Magistrates Wanless and Gowanlock, Mr. Scott, of Clinton,. act- ing for plff and L. fL Dickson for deft. Following is; the evidence :- John Snell sworn, said : Know def. ; had ;something to driuk in his house within dates named; I had ginger aleand lemon- ade - nothing else; don't know for a fact that:Mr. Hawkshaw keeps a public house:, ; I got what I drank from his son.

Mr. Dickson ap- plied to cross -exam. Mr. Willis on the geound that Mr. Scott elicited new matter in his re-eiamination concerning the passing of the cheque. Mr. Scott objected, and the Court sustained the objection. Mr. A. G. Dyer was re -called by Mr. Scott for the purpose of examining regard- ing cheque. Mr. Dickson objected on the ground that the wituess had been already examined concerning the cheque. Believed the cheque was made out to Mr. Hawkshaw for rent of room and did not include liquor; I do not know who drew the money on the cheque ; the cheque was intended for the proprietor of the house ; it was taken as cash. Edward Minkins, sworn, said : Live in Usborne ; know defendant ; think he keeps a public house ; was not in his house be- tween the 1st and 24t1i of Merck; am quite positive of that ; do not know positively. whether Mr Hawkshaw keeps a public house or not.

This row of houties momentarily stopped the water, hut it soon gave way from its foundation, and was car- ried bodily down the stream with its living freight, when it broke- in two parts, one being demoliehed to fragments and the other was carried on down and lodged on the main trank of the C. P. R. About 1,000 yards of the C. P. R, is displaced and wash- ed out, and about 500 yards of the track running into the mill is gone The damage to property, however, was most trifling when considered with the distruction of human life, Of the eleven who were carried away by the flood, five were drowned, two injured, one of whom seriously, and four saved. The dam was rotten, and the people of Ingersoll express surprise that the disaeter did not occur long ago. A. G. Dyer, recalled : Am secretary of the Stephen & Ushomm Agricultural So- ciety ; the order produced m the one I gave the day we held our meeting there. I have been a member of the Society for years. Years ago each of the directors gave 25 cents at each meeting for use of room. Lately an order has been granted. The directors would have no power to grant its society's money for liquor. The society only paid for use of room. Mr. Hawkshaw said he would give the use of the room for two dollars. After a short consideration the court room was opened and the magistrates then posed a fine of $50 and costs. An appeal has been entered, the case to come up at Goderich in June next. Rail7aL_Meeting. A meeting of representatives from the various municipalities interested in securing increased railway facilities between St. Marys and some point on Lake Huron, was held in Drew's Hall here, on Wednesday, 30th ult. There were about forty delegates present. Mr. James Swenerton, of Exeter, was elected chairman and Mr. George Moir secretary. The chairman briefly explained the object of the meeting, after which Rev. Father Kealy, of Drysdale, in a neat speech, in which he clearly demonstrated the ad- vantages of increased railway accommoda- tion, moved the following resolution :- "Whereas itis understood that application is going to be made at the next session of Dominion Parliament for a charter to build an extension of the C. P. R., via. Brant- ford, Woodstock, Embro, St. Marys, be it Resolved that this meeting of represent. atives from municipalities west of St. Marys invite the hearty co-operation of all the municipalities interested to secure the Line via. leirkton, Exeter, Zurich, Bayfield to Goderich, and that members of the DO minion Parliament representing constituen- cies on the proposed line of railway be re- spectfully requested to support an applica- tion for Government aid toward the accom- plishment of the scheme." Mr. II. Happel, of Hay, seconded the resolution expressing the confidence that the township of Hay would give a very sub- stantial bonus. Mr. T. M. Kay, Reeve of Usborne, was the next speaker. He, while in favor of se- curing additional railway accommodation, believed that Usborne would not likely 'give as large a bonus as some of the other muni- cipalities owing to the fact that that town- ship had, in his opinion, given more than her share to the NV estera. Mr. James Pickard, of Exeter, said that personally he was much in favor of an op- position railway ; it would be of immense profit to this section of country. 1.1 the road could be secured and the station locat- ed anywhere to the east ot the village whore he had land, there would be no difficulty in arranging for a site. Mr. L. Hardy, of Exeter, stated that he had no fears of the C. P. R. gobbling up the G. T. R. or vice versa ; either system was sufficiently large for any one Company to handle. Increased railway facilities meant that the dealers woulil get batei rates arid better accommodation by way of getting ears when required, all of which would undoubtedly increase the price of the farmers' produce. Mr. James Oke, of Exeter, spoke of the great advantages to be derived from an op- position railway, instancing the fact that since the building of the C. P. R. to Toronto freights had been reduced from that city to Montreal by about $23 per car. Cattle buyers in this section were enabled, on this account, to pay over one' dollar a bead more than when the Grand Trunk had the whole monopoly of the carrying trade to 'Montreal. Stock trains were now run in 24 hours less time than they were a few years ago. Rail- way officials were much more obliging. Cars could be got when wanted and the right kind. Mr. Bissett urged the appointment of a committee to wait upon Mr. Van Horne with reference to extending the C. P. R. to the lake via. St. Marys and Exeter. Mr. Willis gave an amount of the Wood - stook meeting to which he was sent as a delegate from Exeter. He also referred to the great benefit to be derived from increas- ed railway facilities. Grain buyers would be enabled to pay better prices for wheat. Cars could be got when wanted, and by this means the market would be much more re- liable than at present. Mr. Pollick, Reeve of Bayfield, said that the municipality which he represented was in 'earnest about the matter, mid when the bonuses were required Bayfield would be found doing its duty. Mr, Kalbfleisch, Deputy -reeve of Hay, elt satisfied the township which he honor to renreeent, was thoroughly aroused as to the necessity of a railway. It would give a itindsomc bonus, Mr. Willimns, of Zuriale intimated that hat village would vote as 'adze a bonus to he square inch, as any nituncipaliey on the proposed route. Mr, Marks, of Ileyfielcl, timid that that mitnicipttlity, a few yearago, voted 41O,- 0(10 for a branch rail way, showing the great inteeest the village took in railway mettees. Fether Kettly, Rev. M e,Routledge and After some addieioual remarks by Rev. I others, the resolution was put to the meet- iim and e01rie,1 unititimentily. It was further eeeolved that a committee consisting; of (me or more deltgates he ap- pointed by each of the manimpalitaes ested to wait on Mr. Veil Horne and take such other stepe as they deem best to sectiee tlle railway extension spoken of, The Rev. loather Kealy was appointed secretary of this committee. The meetieg eves most enthusiestic end he highest hopes' were inteetained for the uccessful issue of the scheme. the room that day ; $2 would be a fair rental for the use of room without Supply of liquor. L. H. Dickson, sworn, said : saw a lease exeented from John Hawkshaw to Wesley Hawkshaw ; it was not executed on the date it bears • it was executed between two and three weeks ago ; swear positively to thatit was executed befoee Mr, Hawk, shawleft for Detroit ; Vhsley Hawkshaw gave $100 to his father, Mr. Hawkshaw, the day lease was executed ; do not know wheee the money came from, O.

On the morning of the 23rd of March the store of Mr. Daniel Steinbach, in the village of Zurich, was entered by robbers who at- tacked the safe, drilled a hole, charged it with powder, and blew the door to atoms. The ulterior steel chest was forced out of its place and removed from the premises. It contained $600 in money, two boxes of gold rings and a lot of promissory notes. In addition to the theft of these, seven watches were abstrated from a show case in. the store and one revolver. Detective Schram, of London, was communicated with and visited, the village. After examining the surroundings, he undertook the cane, and having a strong suspicion that the perpe- trators reeided near by, he had certain per- sons shadowed up to Thursday night, when he secured sufficient evidence to warrant hitn in making three arrests. Accompanied by Detective john A. Graham, Mr. Schram visited Exeter, ancl on arriving here was joined by Constables Gill and Boesinberry. At four o'clock Friday morning they left Exeter and proceeded to a house near , Zurich, where they took a mem named Adam ' Sipple into custody. Detective Schram and Constable Gill arrested Henry Weaver at Zurich, and the latter being left in charge of Constable Gill, Mr. Schram and Constable Bossinberry proceeded to W. A. Zent's house and arrested him. The trio were then brought to Exeter and taken before Squire Willis, who remanded them to God- erich jail until the 8th inst. In the evening the accused, against whom it is said there is strong evidence, were removed to God- erich. Usborne. The names of the two pupils in each of the advanced classes of S. S.

And also in regard to whiskey being pul- led to pieces, the learned gentleman has forgotten that tobacco was menbioned as well in the Sunday School convention in this place.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, -On Saturday morning last, our town was in another war of excitement over tile attempt at suicide by Dave Pike, who is well known to travellers and in our locality as "Old Dave the hosilor," He made a ghastly wound in his throa1 with a razor, and, when asked what he did it for, he said he did not know. He has been drinking very bard of late. He is under Dr. Buchanan's skillful treatment, who sewed up the wound, and from last report lie is doing well. VAULT FOUND. -The vault belonging to Mr. D.

THAT EXPEDITION -A number of our younct people started on an expedition on Saturday last, but got no farther than the main station, where they made it as lively and pleasant for themselves and as unpleasant for others as they well could. Of course we do not mean to insinuate that there was any unseemly conduct or improper deportment, but the bottle of mirth was uncorked an.d no effort made to stay the flow of the contents. It was a sort of "give away" all round. Did you ever get left, Clare? . CONCERT.- The St. Andrews Society concert on Tuesday evening, March 29, was another of the many successes for which St. Marys is noted. The "braw sons of Scotia'iwere there in "a' their pride." Mr. Alex. Brown, and a young but highly talented singer "fresh frae the heather," Mr. Gavin Spence, who held his audience and swayed them at will. Miss Maud Stevenson rendered a very fine selection, "The Flrfer Girl," but as usual, the prima donna of St. Marys, Miss Ada Colley, in "The Auld House" and "The Cricket on the Hearth," was "The grandest o' them a' ." The instrumental solos by MissesiLloyd Clarke and Thomp- son and Mrs. McLeod, were well receiv- ed. The reading by Mr. J. W. Laird, was not a very hopeful selection and its rendition was not of a nature destined to win an enthusiastic reception. Proceeds $65. THE "Wmnson."-This popular hotel is now under the control of the Messrs. Coleman Bros., who by the way are old ' caterers in this line, and are not strangers in St. Marys. They took possession on Wednesday of last week, and already there are signs of vast improvement. ) The Messrs. Coleman Bros. have been in 151). Marys a great many years, and during 'their career in the Coleman House en- joyed to an extent that must be gratifying to them, the confidence of all with whom they have been brought into coutact,both inbusiness and social relations in life. Their business in the latter House had growo to be so large that more commo- dious premises were an absolute neces- sity. We bespeakrfor these gentlemen- a good share of pubhcpatronage, aside from t that which they enjoyectin the 'Coleman.' 1 They understand the details of the busi- )nees thoroughly, they are reliable in every way, and, moreover, they possess the spirit of enterprise necessary to keep a house seconcl to none in Western Ontario BRIEFS. -A melee occurred at the rear of the National hotel stables, between two young men of Blanshard, on Thureday evg. last. The result was a couple of black eyes. Constable Mitchell laid in- formation and the "fun" cost the pugilists a few dollars each. We don't allow such rings in our town. -Now that the warn' weather is approaching it is time the la- crosse club was pulling itself together for the season. We believe a meeting is shortly to be held for re -organizing the "Eurekas." In the meantime would it not be wise to get the sticks ready for Ithe first pradice.-Revival meetings are in progress in the Methodist church. They are well attended and results are favorable. -A. numbing was held on Fri- day evening to complete arrangements for the celebration of the Jubilee anniversary of our Most Gracious Queen's birthday, on the 24t1i of May There will be a good programme of sports, etc. -Mr. C.
