His forensic abili- ties wore of lie mean order ; and though handicapped by a huskiness of voice .his quaint and original manner often covered defective argument and made him passably successful with juries. He could affect the lofty indignant in princely style. He could wield the sword of ridicule with cutting power, and was always ready in repartee.

HE GOT THE "SHOO -FLY." --A young gentleman from Clinton was treated rather harshly by his best girl's papa the other night. The scene was not a thousand miles from the Maitland concession. IIe had driven all the way from Clinton, in company with Miss—. and had enjoyed the ride immensely. They had talked of the past, present, and dreamed of the future—but not of the old man's "pickled rod." They had just arrived at the young lady's home. "Thunder and blitzen," said Joe, "here comes your pa 1" "Oh, dear Joe," said she, "whatever you do, don't make a noise—don't b -a -1-l." The scene that followed can butter bo imagined than describ• ed. Ho retreated with only slight scalp wounds, but declares that matters shall bo bettor welded when he snakes his next trip—he can.do it in courting difficulties as well as in welding iron. He has the gi(l)ft m o•r•e•strongly than ever, and the day may yet be named. Wednesday March 6th. was the occasion of a merry time at the residence of Mr. Samuel R•athwell, Hayfield Con. "Two hearts that beat as one" were',joined:in the bonds of matrimony then and thereby the Rev. Mr. Bill of Hayfield. The poss- essors of those important arrange- ments in the economy of the affec tions were Miss Mary E. Rathwell, daughter of Mr. Samuel Rathwell, and Mr. George Sparling of the 16th con,,, township of Grey. MissAnnie, sister of the bride and Mr. Sparling, Seaforth, respects .ely assisted the bride and groom. Probably a score of friends witnessed the ceremony, several of whom wore from Clin- ton. A splendid dinner lied been prepared and neither the merriment nor seriousness of the interesting event seemed to have any pullback effect upon the attentions paid to the tempting viands. It was quite evident, as some ono remarked, that all the turkey's had not died from a plethora of gratitude on thanks- giving day, nor from a surfeit of merriment at Christmas time. The newly wedded couple drove toCliu- ton in the afternoon and took ths.2:30 train for a trip east and will return in a wook or so to their future home in Grey, where soon will 'bo gone the winter cold and the bonnie white snow, and they'll he happy in the wild woods where primroses do blow.

S. class in Bethel Sunday Schuul, cuusistiug of six young ladies, who were ac- companied by their brothers, availed themselves of the impending change to preseut his daughter Mary with the following address and the souve- nir referred to. Two years ago they gave her a Bible. To Miss MARY J. Cox. DEAR TEACHER.—On this the occa- sion of your removal from our -midst, we the members of your class in Bethel S. S. desire to formally ex- press our sincere appreciation of your services during the three years in which you have led us in the study of The Word. We are aware that words on an occasion of this kind can hut feebly express the gratitude and love which fills our hearts for your manifeak,and earnest devotion to• our- spiritual-weltarer-and- we can only hope that our lives for the future will testify to the sinceri- ty with which we have listened to your loving counsel, and to the in- fluence of your faithful Christian example. We shall ever remc-niber the seasons we have spent together in taking sweet counsel from the Word of Life, and we pray that our communion together here may be renewed, if never again on earth, then in the Great Beyond, where all things shall be made plain and when we shall rejoice together in the full• ness of our Father's revelation. As a tangible reminder of the relations which we are now dissolving, please accept this dressing case. Its value is not at all commensurate with your deserts, but it will. serve to recall the days past, which, we trust will be green spots in your memory for long days to come.

When he returned the old man drow a friend aside and opened his heart to him in those words: "About the first man I met on coming back was Blake. Hardly had I passed those men when I mot Sir John, He didu't pass me by, but grasp- ed me by the hand, gave me a slap on the shoulder, and said, "Davy, old man, I'm glad to NO you back. I hope you'll soon be yourself again and live many a day to vote against the as you have always done." "Now," continued Mr. Thompson, with genuine pathos. "I never gave the Old Man a vote in my life but hang me if it dosen't go against my• grain to follow the men who haven't a word of greeting for me, and oppose a man with a heart like Sir John's" —The Jesuits have entered a libel Suit for $50,000 against The Mail. The libel consists in the Mail publish. ing the alleged creed of the Jesuits that the end justifies the means, and consequently they are not re strained in their actions by any civil or moral *law and cannot be loyal subjects of any ,country.
