He grows eloquent and abusive over an imaginary offence offered, to a respected clergynarth of his village. From the view taken of the offen- sive item by the people of Leman, your 0Orrespondent is led to believe that no person but their thin.skinned correspond - mit took any offence at the item as indeed none was intended. The Item in question doubtless pinched the irate correspendent somewhat, but inetead of coining out like xnan and-fightiug the thing on its merits, he skulks beleind the back of a respectable gentleman, bndert pretence of defending hina, in order 'that etc; may hutl some of his vile epithets alba head of -the Clan- deboye, correspondent. It would be pre. sumption,for a "vile atom of ignorant stu- pidity" like myself, to enter the lists against a man who soruplea not to manu- facture the most vile decoctions against his fellow citizens, but ne may find that eyen an "uncaged idiot" can defend him- self against such iinpertinent attacks. • Your Luau correspondent omitted an item last week, Which, with his kind per- mission, I publish in this edition. Two of the young men of Lucian, Herbert S, and Perey M., a short time ago, determined to beat the record the world renowned Cap- tain Webb, who swam the straits of Dover in three hours and twenty minutes. Ac- cordingly they.prepared life preserver a and sallied forth on their voyage. They de - (tided eo go via. the Aux t Bauble and in - "land leees. They carried st stook 'of 'pro- visions on their backs sufficient for 'the entire voyage. Arriving at the bank e of the "historic Sauble" they committed themselves to the deep at nine o'clock Monday evening. They swam with steady stroke till they reached Halifax at mix a. m. Tuesday. Thence they proceeded east- ward. with ever increasing speed, reaching Dover at nine o'clock Wednesday evening, having made the voyage in the short space of two clays. As they were weary after their exertion, they decided to rest for an hour. At ten o'clock began the race for the championship of the world. Both men were in excellent condition and both seemed confident of victoiy. No starters or referees were employed as eaoh man trusted to the honesty of the other, From the start it became evident that the race wet going to be a close one, but gradually one of the contestants forged ahead of the other, but, it had become so dark that neither could see which one it was that led. The leading swimmer arrived at the French lino of breakers at 10t02 p. m., followed by his opponent four goconde later. Then began a violent dispute to to which one had come in ahead, each claim- ing to be the individual. Some knock- down arguments were used, the result being that Percy lost part of his scalp. Finally they decided to return to their native village and lea e e the matter to a referee. They arrived at Lucan at a very late hour, and wishing to have the matter settled that night, they repaired be the residence of a copper colored individual to the north of the village, Here they cbose a referee ancl told their story when Her- bert was decided to be the victor. Percy became very much enraged, but as he could not alter the referee's decision he decided to go home and sleep away his wrath. Before retiring he took the pre- caution to attach a long piece of crape to the door of his place of business with the inscription attached, "not dead but sleep- ing" and engaged three small boys to it on the steps and explain the state of affairs to the business publid, ,Having epent a sleepless night he arose at 9 a. m. gloomy and sullen, and repaired to his place of business. Ho found the faithful vigilants at their post, but forgetting his precaution of the night before, and think- ing some of hie chums were playing a trick on him he became very much en. raged, and having consigned the boys to Hades, he tore down the crape and the inseliption, and entering the building com- pletely demolished a large bronze statue of himself which he had prematurely caused to be erected to commemorate the great, victory, which he had expectedeto win oyer Herbett S.

When this section of Canada was a howling wilderness the above Subject at that time being a howling kid, Jonathan received the rudiments of his education at the little brick school house around the corner, and was a very apt 'scholar, he boiug never higher then fourth place in meutal arithmetic, at every exami- nation. At the age of eleven he first learned to smoke and chevv terbacker, and many a sound flogging the youthful Jona- than reoeived for indulging in his manly hut filthy habits. At the age of twelve Jonathan's chief delight was to shoot atones out of a catapult at his neighbor'e geese. At the age of twelve be also learned to 'SNYiES, and would play hookoji for weekto ,gratify his desire by bathing in the dirty Bauble. He early indulged a weakness for James Walter Hedging, William James Armitage, and Francis John Lynch, all natives of this place, and all former pupils in our public school, but now all Episcopal ministers, were in town last week visiting. There numerous friends were all happy to see them. The annual masonic sermon was preach- ed in the Episcopal Church on Sunday last by the Rev. J. W. Hodgine, of Bayfield. About 50 masons were present and occu- pied front seats. The church was literally packed. The sermon was a fine success and reflects great credit on Mr. Hodgins who is an old Luoan boy.

SCOTT ACT MAGISTRATE -Noble has again had. Jumes McFadden appointed a constable for 30 days. Judge Elliott, 'a gentleman of knowledge and honor, did not think Mr. McFadden a decent enough man to be even a Scott Act constable and so dismissed him but it'seente Mr. Noble could gels no man mean or contemptible enough to do his dirty work outside of Mr, McFadden, and so appointed him again. McFadden visit- ed Lunn and summoned two of our citizens to eau the 111119iC before air. Noble at Clandeboye last Thursday ; but even he could do DO less than honorably acquit them. The peasants of Ireland wore never in their worst clays oppressed as the hotel keepers of Middlesex have been since the iniquitous Seott 'tea iind its partizan ca. 001'8 have had away ; and the more intelli. gent people are anxiously awaiting an opportunity to east their votes ageing all aot, which, in the handa of the unprinci- pled who now dispense the law for it, has been it curets to the whole country. Tun Beet's= Housre-Two weeke later William DOLIONIM and Gichetn Doupe were returning home iron preyer meeting at a late hoar. They wore so absethed ia their convetsetion relating to chereh matters that they came on the haunted houee be- fore they realized where they were ; and Wore startled by tt deep and troubled groat sounding like the lest cadence of a dyillg au,k, Gideon sprang into the air like a thing of life, while William grasped the fence pickets for &vont, 'ilia shrieked Atm& Hie distressing ory brought Chas, Hasket, Debora rot, Jarnos Shay. Robert inherits to the tiresent day. Like allother youths of that age his hands were literally covered with worts, contracted by fishing for frogs in the muddy little atreams vrhioh run on each side of the railway track. At the age of 13, Jonathan being a great lover of animals, purchased a Cotswold lamb and 'epent much of bis time in ite company and taught it to stand on its head and kick out its hind feet. This lammy, unlike Mary's little lamb, was never allowed the privilege of following Jonathan to school ; but was put on exhibition at the Granton fall show where it received a diploma. At the age of seventeen Jonathan engaged as traveller with the firm of Snooks es Holdfaet of Rochester, N. Y., to sell a new and im- proved class of pumpkin seeds, and con- , tinued in this business for two years, travelling through South America and South Africa where he gulled the natives to his heart's content. At the age of niue. teen he returned home from Africa bring- ing along the first span of mules ever seen in the county of Middlesex ; also a fine pet parrot. two ring-tailed monkeys and a young gorilla, and entered into partner- ship with a Mr. Davidson who started the first teu cent menagerie that ever travelled through Canada. In four months he sold out to his partner, he retaining the mules, t which he 'subsequently sold for $600.00, suoffiient to purchase 200 acres of land in the county of Essex ; and securing a con- tract from the M. C. R. to supply them with 8,000 cords of wood, he at once put a large gang of men to work and completed the connect in three months. He then sold the land for a small fortune and again returned to Biddulph where he resided with Isis father for two years. At the age of 22 he took a contract from Dan McCrae of Glencoe to take out 5,000 etiolts of square timber. This he accomplished in one winter with the assistance of James Her- bert. He again returned to Biddulph where he farmed till 1878 when he sold his farm and went intoatthe butchering business, which he ran with great success for six months and then sold out. - He then went into Inc droving business with the celebrated cattle king, James IL etc - Roberts. He then purchased tho bus line from Lunn to Clendeboye, which he ran for two yeare, and he purchased tho two livery businesses of Mears. MaFalls and McLean, which he consolidated, and GB- tatiiSilOd a large livery barn which he has continued to conduct ever since and he bas now one of the finest liveries west of Toronto. 1.11 polities jonathan is a strong Conservative and in the last two eleotion campaigns, signally distinguished himself for hie grand oratorical abilities, he being the finest stuineespealter la the county. At the last local election he spoke at no less than thirty-six meetings and was always welcomed with great applause. He refused the ntanination for the Domin- ion house in 1887, having other important business to attend to. Jonathan is it very eourageotse man as his vieovons fight wins three tramps near Newbury a couple of months ago, fully proves, he having lam- basted the lot of them. His ablest speech was clelivereci at Penes school,honee last year when ho spoke for three hours against Witt. Revingtott end eomeletely floored that illusttious reant Jonathan is also quite it sport, he haviiie woe a largo amount on Little Bob, it his Aast race, and is also a warm admirer of thae inimitable ratite°, Christopher 31. Jonathan is else the manager of the vveet gide baseltall team and is the owner of a Z3g horse. He is favorably known to the whole daunt), and 116i good natured smile and jovial lettere have caused him to bedew) a, general f avorite with allwhoin ho comes in contact. A deal took place on the flats of the river on Monclity last at 5 a, m. The affair reads like a romanee. it seems that one evening laat week a dance WU held at Clandeboye, and the principals in the duel were both present. Es. Hudson and Eli Armitage were the pair. A quarrel arose over a dance, and like French gentlemen of the eeventeentlicentury, they determined to settle the dispute with pistols. The old eelieble was asked to act as referee, and of course consented, while Barney Stanley jr. of the 5th concetsiou, acted as Eli' second, and Bennie Marr, of McGillivray per- formed the earne office for Es. The spec. tators were limited to 20 people, your correspondent being fortunately one of the number. The morning was angelic, and as the rising sun tipped with his ruddy beams the dirty water of the Senble, it gave one anything but the impression that human gore was soon to flow. Eli firet appeared on the ground with his second; he was attired in a tight fitting suit of blank, not it ?shit° spot could be seen about him. Es and his second appeared imme- diately after ; his dress consisted of a soldier's coat and blue drill overalls. He also WOre a plug hat. The referee meas- ured out the ground, 20 paces, and at once placed the prineipale. The weapons used were a eouple of horse-pistole which had once belonged to the late Samuel Brown. The referee handed the men' their patois and then stepped back 5 paces and gave the word fire. Both shots rang oat simul- taneously and both men at once fell to the ground. Their seconds hastened up but found both had fallen from fright. They were again placed but both were so ner- vous they °quid not fire when the word was given, so the referee insisted on their sheking hands and bees:ming friends, which they twere only too glad to do. As no one was wounded no arrests were made, This is the fires affair of this kind that has happened around here for some years and the weakness of the combatant's nerves eau therefore be considerably exoused. The referee did not give such entire satis- faction as such an old head in the refer- eeing business should have done, and it is doubtful if he will be chosen for that position again for some time. The princi- pals are now on the beet of terms.

Pleero,--Just as we expected and which always is the case, our public school pen nit' at Miami's grove on Friday last, Jane 22nd, was a grand success. At 12 o'clock noon, the children congregated at the school house and formed into procession. They were headed by the principal, (Mr. Latta) and Master Rob. Steinbach as standard bearer. Miss Morrison and Miss Dunn captained their separate depaitrnents. It must have been very gratifying for the parents to notice the interest the teachers .s are taking in training up the young mind . of our town. While marching, around, the., children sang several sohool songs win& were very nice indeed. Altogether the - conduct and order of the children from the time they left the school until they reached the grove was quite commendable, and we congratulate the teachers for the manner in which they have the children disciplined The dining room girl did not ring the bell until about 3 o'clock, and then the digest- ive organs were put to work ;' the edibles . were plentiful and in great demand for about le hours; as caterers, great credit must be given Mrs. Steinbaoh, Hauch, and several other ladies who have the interest of the shildten at heart. Must not forget to mention that Mr. Benedict proved him- eelf the ladies' favorite of the day; he stirred the 'fire and kept the kettle boil- ing. Good boy' Chauney.
