Before the HQneroble Chaaoilor Boyd.
The autumn sittings of the Chan -
eery Division of the II, 0, J. was
held at tIte Court House, in Godo.
rieb,,an'Friday,14tb inst. The first
case on the list was Morrie v, New -
combo and the Bank of Hamilton,
and was brought, by the township of
Morris against its late treasurer and
his sureties for monies said to have
been misappropriated by the said
treasurer ; and the Bank is said to
be liable to the township on account
of a special deposit Bald to have been
made by the council, which, they
allege, was improperly paid out to
the defaulting treasurer without pro-
per authority. The case was re-
ferred to S. Malcomeon, Master at
Goderieb. Garrow, Q, 0_, for plff.
Holt for defte.
The next care on the ]tet was also
one of some importance to township
councils, being brought by the plain-
tiff, one Machan, against the town-
ship of Grey, to set aside a solo by
the county treasurer of some land
in the said township, which bad been
returned "non resident," and upon
which it was alleged certain ratee
which had been assessed against the
said land, under "The Ditches and
Watercourses Act," had not been
paid. The law provides that these
dues, when not paid, shall be col-
lected in the same way as taxes.
The land was sold and bought by
the township. Judgment was re-
served. ldington, Q. C., for plff.;
Garrow, Q. C., and Prondfoot for
defts.

heim v. Ducharme, which was settled

tion disappeared in the general fall
of property, and the plaintiff and
defendant agreed to let the matter
drop, each paying his own costs.
Garrow, Q.C., forplff,; Holt for deft.
West v. Reed—This was an action
to set aside the sale of a hotel pro-
perty in Luoknow as fraudulent and
void as against creditors, and judg
went was reserved. Garrow, Q. 0.,
for plff. ; Mc14lulleu for deft.
Hopper v. Hopper was an alimony.
No defence had bean put in, bud

for leave to defend. which was grant-
ed. Garrow, Q. 0., for plff. ; Holt
for deft.

dict in accordance with consent min-

It is considered very bad form to
wear jewels around the neck.
To prevent that shine to the skin,
with which so many are annoyed,
especially in warm weather, use a
little camphor in the water when
bathing the face.
.A. round bolster now takes the
place of the large ornamental pillows.
The holster is stuffed firmly and
dressed in cretonne, or whatever the
bed covering is made from.
To set delicate colors in embroid.
ered handkerchiefs, soak diem ten
minutes before washing in a pail of
water in which a dessert 'poonful of
turpentine has been stirred.
The beet way to fry apples is to
halve them, remove core, put some
butter in frying pan and put in the
halves, the cut side down ; then add
a little water and let boil dry ;
then fry.
There will be fee persons who will
over take the trouble, me they ought,
to tree eat their shoes when not in
use, no matter how costly they are.
The next bast thing, which also coats
a little trouble, is to button up a fine
shoe when putting it aside, in order
to keep the upper from getting out
of form.
Ivory may bo bleached by placing
it for an hour in a solution of alum ;
then polish ib with a piece of woolen
and wrap it in linen to dry. Another
method is to take peroxide of Hydro•
gen, and to one pint cf it add one
onnce of aqua ammonia. Warm it
and soak the ivory in it for twenty-
four hours ; then dry and polish
with chalk.
A. picture frame embroidered in
Louis xiv, ribbon work on pale cern
satin, which is the shade of white
satin turned yellow with ago, and in
the new oval shape ; a pretty travel•
ling case of white linen bound in
'golden -brown braid ; or a comb and
brush case of the same material; Or
a dainty pinouelnon, are all presents
which would probably be aceeptab!e
to any young. lady.
The favorite linen for embroidery
is of the "old bleach" manufacture,
'.l'bis linen is woven with a firm

To glean hair brushes put a table-
spoonful of ammonia into tepid water
and clip them up and down until
clean ; then dry with the bristles
down. In place of the ammonia,
they may be cleaned by using a tea-
spoonful of soda.
Have your apple parings in a cool
plaeeuntil you have a quantity worth
the while, cover with water and boil
briskly for an hour ; strain, add half
the quantity of sugar and boil gently
for a couple of hours, and a good
apple jelly will bo the result. Or, if
you put the parings in a jug with a
little water, and put in a warm place,
they will make fair vinegar.
The prejudice prevails that plants
in the sleeping room are injurious,.
because they aro constantly throw-
ing oft carbonic acid. Recent in-
vestigations have shown that ill
effects are too slight to deserve con
sideration. If a room is properly
ventilated, plants can do no harm,
and even if it ie not, the quantity of
carbonic acid exhaled by them will
not materially affect the purity of
the air.
TUE WORTH OF A RIFE.
In the Solomon Islands the mar-
ket quotation of a "good quality"

were logging in the township of King.
En passing through the bush one of
the oxen broke bis leg, The owner
immediately had the ox killed and
buried. The living animal was taken

cries were of such a diameter that
he was turned out to pasture.
Nothing more was thought of the
matter until the cowherd went as
usual for the cows, when, in passing
the place where the ox lay buried,•
ho found its living mato knee sleep
in the ground with its head resting
on a portion of the side of the dead
animal, which had been uncovered
by the pawing of the living ox to get
to its had companion, The annual
was relieved from its position, taken
to its stall, but it refused to bo com-
