A sensation has been caused at
Strathroy over the finding of a newly -
born infant in an outhouse, dead, The
mother of the child is said to be it
young woman employed as it domestic
at the residence of Mr. W.F. Fawcett,
at whose place the lefant was found.
The. unfortunate mother fainted in the
titchen of the house, and upon being
restored she told the dory of her
forthcoming election for the House of
Commons, while Mr. Cook will retire
into private life. There are. others
whom it is said will not seek re-eleet-
ion, amongst theta being T. M. gay,
of Usborne ; Reeve Stewart, of West
Wawanosh ,• Reeve Young, of Blyth;
McPherson, of Turnberry and deputy -
reeve Graham, of Ilosvick, W. IL
Kerr, reeve of Brussels was not certain
whether he would. come back or . not.
Those Who profess to know say that it
all depends upon who gets the Regis-
trarship of Harem Should. it fall to
the lot of Mn G-ibson,member for East
Huron, then. Mr. Kerr will try
conclusions for the nomination, for
which, it is said, he is already wire
uplling.--The Council sat two days,
no,d besides accepting the House of
Refuge, as recently completed, did no
business of ianportance. For this
little jaunt it cost the County Over
$000. Yet we. heve advocates of
large County Councils. The Morris
bridge difaculty came up again in
open couucil, in it motiou made by W.
11. Kerr for a conuaromise with Morris
of the stuu claimed from the county.
This difficulty arose over it claim by
Morris of some S800 for bridges the
township had built, which, accord-
ing to the law at that time, the county
should have paid for. The county dis-
puted the claim and for some years
the case has been in the courts, Morris
having won the suit on it couple of
appeals. The County Solicitor had
given notice of appeal to the Division-
al Court now sitting. This had been
-sanctioned in comeaittee, hence the
motion of Mr. Kerr to effect a settle -
Ment. A vote was taken, 23 voting
to lia,ve the case fought, 22 for a
settlement. Those who voted to have
the Courts settle the case did so on
taii4 argument that other toweships
having similar claims, while debarred
'hy the limitation of time and the re-
peal of lews, were morally entitled to
the same consideration in proportion
with Morris.. Settlement by the courts
would in any eveet vitiate the claims
of the other townships.- Clinton
