ULTRA VIRES. -Some time ago
eight storekeepers were convicted
by the Montreal recorder, under
the city by law, for exposing in-
decent posters in their windows of
theatrical companies. The case was
taken before Justice Wurtole on a
certiorari, who has now declared the
by-law illegal and beyond the
powers of the provincial legislature
to enact. •
A SINNING INSINUATOR. -A slan-
der case from St. Marys was tried
on Wednesday at the London
assns+s. The plaintiff Mrs. Henry
was given $67 damages. She
claimed $2000, the suit being based
on stories alleged to have boon told
by Mr. Richard T. Gilpin about her.
They related to the burning of her
place of business and insinuated
that she had set it on fire.
I: torttter MEETiNcs.-Tho An-
nual District meeting of the God-
erich District is bt-ing held at Ilen-
sall ou 'Tuesday and \Veduesilay of
this week, and that of \Vingham
District at \Vingham on the same
days.
A WARN INC TO OTHERS.-Ou
Monday Wm. Ferns, of Orangeville,
was before P. M. Pattullo on a
charge of iudulging in tobacco spit-
ting in the post office. The charge
was clearly proven by P. O. care-
taker "Wilkins, and Ferns was
mulcted in $1,50. This should be
a warning to those who aro in the
habit of baptising tho fluor of the
post office, which is 50 much fre-
quented by ladies, with filthy and
disgusting tobacco juice.
CI:S SEDNESS.-Mr. Colwell of
Varna was in town the other day
looking up some lads who when
driving between Clinton and Bay-
fielit ou Good Friday stopped their
horse, got out of the buggy and
wautonly destroyed the windows in
an unoccupied house belonging to
Mr. Colwell. It was an ad -of
downright cusscdnees, and vIr.
Colwell declares that unless the
youths satisfy the damages they
caused lie will make it hot for them.
NOT THE KIND .010 "LIBERALISM"
Fon Htat.-An- old gentleman of
sterling loyalty and protestant
principles happening to bo in "town
on the day of Dr. Hunter's facture
on the Jesuit Question, was in-
duced to stop and hear it, IIe
heard the' Rev. Dr. express' his
desire for more Gladatonea and
more George Brown's and more
liberalism in Canada. Then the
old gentleman said to a friend, "Ile
might as well have added and more
Riot's and more Parnell's. If that's
what he calls liberalism, its not the
sort I waut. I am protestant
enough yet and loyal' enough not
to wish for more of a class of men
that have aided armed resistance to
constituted authority."
CANADA PREFERRED. -The Mr.
McConnell referred to in the follow-
ing taken from the Guelph herald
is an old Goderich "boy" and
brother-in-law of Capt. Robertson
of the United Empire :-Mr. John
McConnell, carriage builder, who
gave up business here and went to
Australia fifteen months ago to try
hiifortuno in that country, has re-
turned to Guelph, where he will
re-engage in his former business.
Ho says that prospects in his lino
were not sufficiently bright to jus-
tisy hits in settling permanently in
A ustralia.
CAN INSTRUCT BUT NUT WITI1-
DRAW.-Chios Justice Galt, recent-
ly, in reviewing a case from Goder-
ich, wherein the County Judge
withdrew a case from a Division
Court jury; holds that the defendant
has a right to insist that every ques-
tion should be submitted to them,
and a judge has not the power in a
Division Court suit to withdraw
the case from them. The learned
judge has power to instruct the
jury. as to the verdict, and if they
act contrary to his instructions he
can grant a now trial, but he can-
not withdraw the case from them ;
the verdict must be theirs.
THE ANNUAL DRILL OF THE
MILITIA. -The regulations for tho
annual drill hes been issued in
Militia General Orders. 19,225 of

except Niagara in No. 2 District.
Windsor is making a big ,pull for
this District, One blanket per
officer or man will he issued for
June camps. Twenty rounds of
ball and twenty of blank cartridges
will be issued per man. The
usual phrase "too touch care cannot
be devoted to musketry instruc-
tion" is again conspicuous in the
orders, and musketry instructors
should make a nets of it. 5 rounds
per range will be fired at 100 and
200 yards,standing, at 300 kneeling
and et 400 lying down.

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. -
THOROUGHBRED SIRE• SOLD. ---Mr.
Jno. McDonald of Porters Hill has
secured from W. J. Iliggius, Elin-"
burst farin, Clinton, the eight
months old calf Royal Celt (10988)
sired by Imported Excelsior (51233)
a successful prize winner both in
Scotland and Canada. The dans of
Royal , Celt is Isabella Broughton,
a.doscendent of Mr. Miller's famous
old Imported cow Isabella bred by
Mr. L. Campbell of Kiuellar, Aber-
deen, Scotland. Mr. McDoua1d's
Royal Colt is of first class breeding
and will make a good useful animal.
Two more very Promising •calves
(Vice Regal and Vicar of Lent) are
intended for sale in the fall ; they
are both of trio .Matchless family
and sired by Imported Excelsior.
This is good news for the gardener,
if it be true : "An ingenious chicken
raiser has devised a way"of prevent-
ing chickens from scratching up his
garden, He crosses the louglegged
brahmas with the short legged
bantams, and the result is a new
breed of fowls with out) long leg and
one short leg; when Choy raise
either leg -to scratch they lose their
balance and come to grief. After a
few 8emoralizing attempts they
desist.' The preceding is about as
gond a receipt in its way as that of'
the late Robt Darlington, an obi
time bachelor resident of tho town-
ship of Colborne. Mr. Darlington,
probably by providing warm win-
ter quarters for his fowl and by
feeding them with lots ot' warm and
nutritious food, always had plenty
of fresh hen fruit early in the spring,
about a month in advance of the
fowls bolongingdto the good house•
wives of his neighbors. The said
good womenwere very anxiOn8 to
know the secret of Mr. Darlington's
success. He was for a long time
rather uncommunicative in 'the
matter. But one day his bachelor
stoicism yioldodto woman's ways,and
he was persuaded to divulge the
secret. • There was at that time and
several times since a saw -mill at
Dunlop, or Anthony Allen's corners,
then run by the late John Galt or
David Lawson. Mr. Darlington
told the would be posse`,ssors of his
secret "that in returning from town
lie secured at the saw -mill a few
bags of sawdust and was in the habit
of mixing it with bran, about two-
thirds of thea former to one-third
of the latter, and making this the
staple food of his hens early in Inc
spring. Ile cautioned the gond
wives to Whom he imparted this
secret, that the hens at first would
likely not take kindly to this change
of food, but urged on them to persist
in giving the fowl nothing else. It
would likely occur that they would
pick out the bran and leave the saw-
dust. But they were to persist in
starving them into eating the bran
by giving them nothing else until
they hed eaten it. Of course tho
secret spread, and a score or more
housewives on the 8th Con. and on
adjoining farms might have been
seen "stealthily securing the egg
producing sawdust in the evenings
on their return from Goderich. Mr.
Darlington beingsome.what of a read-
er of Grecian mythology explained
that how he came to discover the
procreative powers of sawdust when
used as food arose from the practice
of the ancients who used to resect
to pine groves and forests to inhale
the pungent aroma of the trees and
their resinous exudations when wish-
ing to recuperate from the effects of
dissolute habits and excessive atten-
tions to wine and women. The saw-
dust, he contended, taken as food by
fowls would have even a more stimu-
lating effect on them than the inhala-
tions of the effluvia of pine groves
on men, hence the basis of his dis-
covery was on purely scientific if
not one physiological or henological
grounds. The result of the experi-
ment by the housewives was that
every one of their flocks of domes-
tic fowl died from a stringent
adherence to the dietetic process laid
down by Mr. Darlington. And
rumor had it at the time that the
gentleman lost his spring crop in
consequence of the ire of the arous-
ed women, who threatened to tar
and feather him. To avoid which
lie went to Goderich between two
days and stayad there until the ex-
citement died away, when it was too
late to put in any spring crop.
THE SAME IN CLINTO::.-St.
Thomas Tilted :-" For the first time
iu three years, it was impossible to
secure a drink of liquor at any of
the hotels in this city from 7 o'clock
last Saturday night until 6 o'clock
Monday morning. Under the Scott
Act Saturday night and Sunday
were only distiuguishable from
other days and nights by the in-
creased amount of liquor sold.
Tho change will prove beneficial
and lasting, as the city police, ouco
they receive their instructions to
assist in enforcing the Act, will
carry out their orders to the letter."
Given a good license law and a
lynx-eyd Inspector such as J. W.
Paisley of Clinton, and temperance
will be promoted to a greater extant
than by any other scheme pro-
pounded es yet by legislators or
philosophers.
DEFENDING A PREACIIER.-Shake,
brother Lang, shake. The Kincar-
dine Review with a generous mag-
nanimity for which its editor is
noted has a lengthy screed last week
in defence of Rev. John Gray from
malicious belittlement by its local
contemporary. No minister, be his
literary culture what it may, was
ever more beloved than was Mr.
Gray during his long residence in
this town. On some questions THE
NEws-1(Enoan itas always been at
variance with his views, but that has
never prevented us from attesting to
his earnestness, his christiap work
and worth. It is pleasing reading,
that of the Review in reference to
the Rev. John Gray. We give
the following short extract from the
Review's vigorous defence of hint :
"Sunday evening last the editor of
the Review attended the services in
the Baptist church, found a good
congregation present, and listened
to one of the beat sermons by Mr.
Gray ever delivered in Kincardine.
The Rev. Mr. Gray is a man of ideas,
and he can clothe them in language
perfectly intelligible. What more
can an earnest seeker after his soul's
welfare want 1 Moreover, Mr. Gray
is free from cant I is surely what he
seems to be ; appearently acts natur-
ally, and is certainly not double-
faced. He is a practical worker,
and, not unlike his confreres in
Kincardine, adopts expressive terms
of the hour in shedding id,gas.`

Thirty years ago it took the writer

mainland was then an unknown
quantity. To -day either points Call

city is a phenomenal monument ter
Canadian enterprise. Only three
years ago there was only one straggl-
ing street along the water front, the
town site being an unbroken forest.
