Last Monday evening the friends of

with a silver cruet and piokle dish. The

Elliott. ilir. Scott made a short but feel•
ing reply, expressing his regret at

hthe place where
he had resided so long. A few more
short apeeohes were made and other items
of a literary character given, after which
the company proceeded to derive com-
plete enjoyment from games, sweetened
with most delicious taffy. In the early
mora the crowd departed, wishing Mr.
Scott and family every prosperity in their
new home.
PeasitNmaxzoni.—About 7:80 o'clock last
Friday evening the people began to flock
towards the Methodist ohurch, and by 8
o'clock, when the chief personages of the
evening were ushered in, the house was
literally crowded. After a few words by
the chairman, G. Spence, and an opening
pieoe by the choir, Mr. and Mise Watson
were asked to come forward, when Mise
Watson was presented with a beautiful
silver water pitcher and Mr. Watson with
a gold headed cane and a framed address.
Mr. Watson was deeply moved but re-
plied in behalf of himself' and sister in a
most feeling manner. He said be was
asked half an hour ago to come to the
church to meet, as he thought, perhaps a
dozen people, but when he came before
them, heard the music of the mixed ohoir
looked over the audience, in which were
blended English, Irish, Scotch, Church
of England, Presbyterians and Metho•
diets, he beoame loot in the vain attempt
to seek out s cause for the display of such
kindness, and eo was at last forced to at-
tribute it to the outflow of their loving,
Christian hearts and not for any merit
or worth in the recipients of the beautiful
gifts. He said be never felt the need of
a cane more than at the present moment.
No matter where, or how long he lived,
or what happened it would be impossible
for him to forget Molesworth, where he
had spent the last twenty years. After
speaking for about twenty minutes the
speaker took his seat amid hearty ap-
plause. The choir then sang "Bleat be
the tie that binds." This was followed
by an address by Rev. Mr. Amy, Mr.
Cozens, of Trowbridge, and short speech•
es by'S or 6 of the men of the commun-
ity,interspersed by a duettfrom Mr. and
Miss Campbell and three or four dnette
from Mr. and Miss Belden. The old
parting piece "God be with you" was
sung, and prayer closed a meeting which
was a marked tribute of appreciation to a
consistent Christian life. Mr. and Miss
Watson left from Wroxeter for their
former home in Bolton on Wednesday.

and oasts and went away happy at getting
off so lightly.
Friday evening a number of youthful'
Editions gathered in front of J. W. Gillies
store, St, Mary's and made a number of
eleotrioalexporimente with the large aro
lamp at that plane. One of them found
that by touching the bottom of the lamp
with a piece of ordinary wire he reoeived
a mild shook the idea occurred to them
to form a oirole joining hands, and the
result was that each received a similar
shock. They bad enjoyed themselves
with then and similar trials for some
time when the stalwart form of the &lief
constable was seen to appear. Knowing
well hie antipathy for scientific experi-
manta eo publicly conducted. the young
electricians rather informally dispersed,
and went on their several ways, leaving
their experirnente which might possibly
have included an electrocution unfinished.
The spring aseizes closed Saturday at-
ternoou. The following prisoners, con-
victed during the sitting, were senteuaod
by Judge Robertson Sntnrday morning :
—William Wady, abduction, 7 years in
the penitentiary ; William Watson, ab•
duotion, 5 years, penitentiary ; John Red-
mond, criminal assault, 28} months in
Central Prison ; Allan Boyd, oriniinal
assault on a girl of 13, ten years in peni-
tentiary ; Earnest Mann, bigamy, two
years in penitentiary. On March 3 Mann,
who is a jewellery peddlar, eloped with a
daughter of Mr. Bryan, a Fullerton far•
alar, wee married in Mitohell and a few
days later arrested in Dublin, charged
with bigamy. He eloped with his first
wife, who is a daughter of George J. Frost,
janitor of Upper Canada College, in 1880.
At his examination before the Pollee
Magistrate Mann admitted his previous
marriage, but claimed .to be of opinion
that the fact of not living with wife No.
1 and marrying wife No. 2 was equivalent
to a divorce.
THE Government's tariff reform pro-
posals arenot looked upon with satisfaction
by many and are pronounced a big farce
by strong supporters of Protection. In a
number of cases the changes made will
do little for the consumer but may ham-
per some of the protected industries
somewhat. The discussion in the House
has been animated and the lot of
Hon. Mr. Foster has not been an enviable
one. It would appear that the manu-
facturers have still got the Government
by the throttle and have no present inten.
tion of letting go.
Ir some of the huge amounts paid ofd..
dale are reduced we are of the opinion
that the general public is not particular
whether the system of paying be by fee
or salary, It is rather an amusing thing
to notice the venemous attacks of the
Opposition in the Local Legislature on
the fee system, and yet theca individuals
were never known to "cheep" over the
same plan under the Domiuion Govern-
ment. If the sin is so blank in Ontario
politics it should be about as dark a shade
in the same counties under Ottawa
ruling. It lacks consistency.
Sm Joss Ta0„Paox evadeotly overlook-
ed the fact last week when addressing the
deputation at Ottawa asking for Probibi.
tion that there are two very clearly de-
fined sides to the question of revenuefrom
the liquor traffic. Eighty million dol-
larelspent annually in this Dominion for
liquor means about $16.00 a head for
eaoh inhabitant, no small tax. Finance
Minister Foster, who has been a great
Prohibitionist, was conveniently absent
when the delegation went to the House.
His public utterances don't tally with
either the feelings or expressions of the
Prime Minister and it might have been
slightly awkward for Sir John bad he:been
there.
MAoWi0unoLL, the man convioted of
murdering old Mr. and Mrs. Williams,
of Toronto township, and now lying in
Brampton jail, is the hero of the hour.
In addition to his turning poet, and pub•
liehing some of the poetry, his sympa-
thisers are expressing their interest in
him by gifte, ranging from flowers and
toothsome edibles, to some of money,
varying from 25 °ante to $25. The ()ash
is being forwarded to his counsel at To-
ronto to supply the "needful" for a new
trial, if the applioation is granted. Han-
over village, Bruce Co,, has donated $58.-
00 to this objeot. The man should cer-
tainly not die on the scaffold if innocent
but this sentimental sympathy over every
Tom, Dick and Harry who wilfully runs
headlong into trouble and gets nabbed is
not on the Bible program of Christian
graces and would be more wisely spent
in a worthy cause. MaoWberrill should
play the MoGreevy—Connolly role and
plead i11 health, thereby eeouring freedom

ister of Justice, MaoWherrill'e sontenoo
