inent part of the town. They aro built of

in mole town and the military bugle call
and jinglieg church bells can be heard
any hour of the day or night. The any
has about sixty thousand inhabitaubs.
The buildings are nearly all one story
abodes, with a tile roof and stony floor,
and are builb in the forin of a hollow
square, witha court iu the center. There
is usually just one row of rooms running
all the way around each room, opening
into the court. .A. hallway connects the
court with the street. Outside windows,
where there are any, are always covered
by an iron grating. Some of the courts
in the houses of the well-bo•do aro beauti-
fully ornamented with flowers and are
well taken care of, but more often they
present a neglected, filthy appearance.
The streets slope from each side to the
cantor so as to form a gutter in the mid-
dle to carry off the water in the rainy
season. They are roughly paved with
stone, are full of humps and hollows and
littered withma
s ll loose xoak

p The sidewalks
are four and live feet wide and slope to.
wards and are nearly as rough ' as the
streets. There are a number of small
parks or piazzas, some of them beauti-
fully ornamented and well taken care of,
and provided with seats for the acoom
modation of visitors. The town centers
to one f hebig
o them, rather
to it and a
oberah oo i
mb ted. The arrests, especially
in the vicinity of the market, are usually
orowded by peones (Indians or people of
the lower class) many of the men carry
ng heavy packs on then basks mid
women with large loaded baskets ou their
heads, mixed in with droves of donkeys,
sorry looking creatures, each with a paok
on his bank, which is the usual mode of
=sporting merchandise. There are
of many wagons in this country or
Dads that are passable for them. What
wagons there are are mostly confined to
he towns ; the roads in other places are
mostly mere peak trails. There are a few
ery fine horses and buggies in Goute•
mai& city belonging to wealthy people,
et they are imported and very costly.
here are quite a number of or carts,
Bich the oxen drag around by their
ores. They are rough, homemade
affairs, with wooden axles that squeal
arse than a hungry hog. Among the
asses of the people are very many
Indiane. The balance are a mixed race
of Spanish, negro and Indian, with the
Indian largely predominating. They
ange all the way down from medium to
ery, very coarse, and from black and
oppea to a tawny oreaw color. Soms
lasses aro lighter and finer grained,
nany of them white, anet are wealthy,
aughty, aristooratio and dressy. The
oorer Glasses mostly go barefooted or
ave only it piece of leather tied under
he soles of their feet. The women folk
1 go bareheaded ; the poorer ones usual -
have a basket of something on their
eads, but the richer ones never. There
re no stave -pipes or chimneys stroking
p through the red tile roofing. I doubt
there is a heating stove in the whole n-
ubile. A few foreigners have cooking
oves but I never saw one in the house
a native. They do their cooking over
mall charcoal fires that are built in little
ollow places in a large stone or doby
uoh. There is no regular exit for the
hike, but charcoal don'b make much.
The first meal in the morning is Galled

sauce of coffee, cold, thick, black and
Ober, and is served up in a whiskey
tile, together with a pitcher of bot
ater, some coarse native sugar and
crisps some boiled goat's mills. The
sauits are usually dry, round anduearly

Winghamites in Trouble.
James Netterfleld and Albert Martin,
of Wiugham, were examined in the Town
Hall, Clinton, Monday night, before Po-
lice Magistrate Seeger, of Goderich, on
the charge of murdering J. G. Fields, of
Wingham. Mr. Lewis is dating for the
crown, and Mr. Vanstone for the defence,
George Morrison testified that Netter -
field and Martin were present at Wilson's
barn, where some blackened their fates ;
that Netterfleld went with them to Fields' ;
saw him tip -stairs, but did not see him
again. He also testified as to hearing
Nettsrfiekl and lilartin at the hotel with
others the next day talking over Fields'
case. Some one said Martin had Fields
by the neck. Martin did nob contradict
this ; he just laughed. Gross -examined
by 3Ir.Vanstone-Morrison said he might
have asked Netter/Mid, who was drunk,
to come to the stable. A boy named
Mike Flanigan was also at the stable.
Our object was to try to make Fields con-
fess, not to hurt him or anyone.
Lily Fields sent Willie Fields for Mrs.
Nettetfield, mother of the prisoner, a
neighbor. Willie was only a Short time
away, and said afterward that Jas. Net.
terfleld was at his own home when he
was there. Tom Netterfielcl came over
instead of his mother, and told us to leave
Fields alone.
Jerry Flanigan saw Netterfielcl at
Fields' gate. He was very drunk, and
said he was going borne. Saw him going
up the road towards home before Fields
was out.
Thos. Fields, on being cross-examined
by Mr. Vanstone, said :-I did nob see
either of these prisoners ; would likely
have seen them if they had been there.
Dr. Waugh, of London, gave evidence
as to the postmortem on the body, which
was the same as given at London at the
coroner's iuquesb. He said the cause of
death was inflammation of the brain and
pneumonia, caused by exposure, and
blood poisoning in the feet. In reply to
Mr. Yanstono, the doctor said pneumonia
might come from other anuses than ex.
Immo. Hit, however, was of the opinion
that Fields' death was caused by expos-
ure.
7°11os, Netterfleld testified that his
brother James was in his own horse
when Fields was being kept out doors,
Tho examination was adjourned till
4.80 on Tuesday.
The portion of evidence bearing partic-
ularly on the prisonsts when the court
resumed, was as follows
Miles Flanigan sworn -Was in Lower
Wingham night of March 10th ; saw Jas.
Netterfielcl at Field's gate ; he asked me
to button his overcoat ; he was going
home. I did so, and he went towards
homelabout ton minutes before Fields
was taken out ; did not see him again ;
I am 17 ; saw Netterfleld iu Wilson's
barn, with others,
Eiclie Groves sworn -I live in Lower
Wingham ; was around Fields' the night
of the 10th ; saw Netterfleld lying on the
ground at Fields' gate ;• I started him
borne before Fields was brought oub ; did
not see him again; am quite sure I would
have seen him if he came bank.
Frank Seli sworn -Saw Netterfielcl
lying fa the snow at Fields' gate ; hs
passed me, going towards horns, before
Fields was taken out ; saw a crowd when
Fields was taken back ; nm positive Hat-
terIIeld' was not among them,
Lester Adams sworn -Live in Lower
Wingham ; saw Netterfleld five or six
rods from his home, and still going hone
before Fiolde was taken out; I was at
Potter's on Otb; saw both prisoners there;
did not see them at Wilson's,
Wm, Fields sworn -Am eon of J. G.

eteber Lily 10 aek'Mrs. Netteriield, prison.

except Manser and Phipppeo.
This was all the evidenoe presented.
Summonses to witnesses iu Wingham
could not be served, as parties were not
to be fouud.
The Crown Attorney considered the
prisoners implicated ou amount of being
at the barn meeting, where the plan was
formed:
Mr. Vanstone claimed there was no
plan, consequently no evidence to show
the prisoners guilty,
The Police Magistrate reserved hie (h-

parolee/31y, judging by his oritiofem of it.
He assumes I stated all farmers had bo
sell their products in Liverpool, and then
knocks the statement into a cooked hat.
As this is the only statement be attempts
to disprove in his communication, and
that statement bafng a creature of his
own imagination, I fail to see any cause
for the ill-natured way he treats my
humble effort. He refers to the distress
amongst English farmers. The following
extract from the report of the Royal
Commission to inquire tato the cause of
the depressed state of agriculture in Bri-
tain points to the true eanse. It may be
found on page 52, 2nd report :-"A first -
lass
o farm in the North Riding of Lin-
colnshire, ab
Iy manageded
and d in prime
condition, shows between 1879 and 1893
a total net
profit of $18 per annum to the
tenant farmer. The landlord has drawn
in rent during the same period from this
Mama tenant, $69,485.00, an average of
54,959.00 per annum." Ae 99 per cant. of
the farmers of England are tenant farm-
ers under a yearly tenancy, and as in
1873(twenty-four
years after
Protection
n
was abolished) they paid a total rent of
8496,000,000, and 5125,000,000 in tithes,
why they are in distress should be no
mystery to anyone.

A MAUI MAN GoLLEn.-"A Toronto
despatch says :-Wearing an air of
extreme simplioy and a store suit of
olothse, Henry Cullis, yeoman, of Blyth,
Ont., stepped from a Grand Trunk train
Tuesday afternoon. He was on his way
to Sault St. Marie, bad a pocket full of
money, and a determination that no pity
man should get ahead of biro. Henry
was bugging his oarpst.bag in the Union
Station when a sttanger approaohed and
engaged him in conversation. The young
man from Blyth announced the long trip
he was taking, "Wy," said the kind
stranger, "that's funny ; that's just where
I'm going myself." Then another man
approached and told the first stranger he
had delivered that carload of grooeriee
for Sault Ste. Marie,and now wanted pay,-
meet for the goods. Gallie' newfound
friend discovered that he had no money,
and proffered a check for $1,000, The
man with the groceries admitted that
the check was good, but he really could
not accept it. Oollie' was appealed to.
Certainly, he would help his Wend out of
the diftionity. He Cheerfully passed over
$195, to be paid bask at the "Soo," took
the check for security, and then the other
two went away to see about the groceries.
They didn't come bask. That's all.
