In udwiniutering the oath the 'Recorder considered it necessary for them to swear that they did not be. long to any secret society. At this (point Mr. McNaughton dropped the book, saying that he could not take that oath, "I'm a Freemason," ho said. The Recorder said he adrnir- ed Mr. McNaught is frankness, but really could not swear him in under the circuwstances. The civic by-laws forbade that its con- stables belong to any secret society. Mr. De Montigny swore an the others.—Witness. LAW'S UNCERTAINTY. 'Once a Goose," writes as follows to the Nev York Sun :—Four years ago I was a tailor, owned three ttoUeee and a good business. A Murray Hill dude got into my debt for $250 ; could not get hits to pay me. I advertised the bill for sale. He then Hued me for $10,000 -dawa_es. 1 then put the bill up in my shop with a note on it : 'Bad Debt for Sale.' He sued me again for $5,000. The judge at the court said it was libel. My lawyer and his lawyer now own two of the houses that I once owned. After I settled the cases, I met the dude with a suit of wy clothes on. I then licked I -Ie then sued me fur this, and for this I now have a mortgage on the other house. The only thing I ever got from this one of the 400 -was his measure, I have it yet. It is not for sale. My experience is thin : I would sooner have a bad debt than a good lawyer. I now sell for cast,.' —New England -Grocer. EGGS FOR ENGLAND. Liverpool Mercury, September 19. The experiment of shipping eggs from Canada to England would seem by accounts to hand to have resulted in a great success. Like all new ventures, it has met with a great deal of opposition, principally from those in the Dominion who are interested in the drawing nearer together of the United States and 'Canada, acid who, therefore, are in, clined to look with disfayor on every move and every enterprise which tends to show that the colony -"Cis independent of her neighbor, and can, if the necessity arises, make up in other quarters of the world what it loses by exclusion frons America. 'The question of the shipment of eggs, however, is only another in- stance of the many that could be adduced to show that the McKinley tariff has failed of its objects and Stas recoiled on the Americans to theirserious detriment, for not only has Canada been able to dispose re- muneratively in English markets of all her surplus eggs, hut consign anents have found their way into American markets, notwithstanding the duty, and the consumer has had to pay for the patriotism, so called, sof the Legislature. During the first three months of the present season, that is, since the opening of naw gation on the St. Lawrence to the .31st July, 9,000,000 eggs have been shipped from the Dominion to Eng- '3and. From all sources in the month of July alone there landed in England nearly 91,000,000 eggs, while in the six months the imports were close on 725,000,000, the fig. urea for the whole of last year be- ing 1,234,949,520, of the value of .£3,428,802 ! The value of this anew branch of international trade is fully realized by this time in Cana- da, and it seems more than prob- able that before long this jepart- ment of commerce will have become an established and profitable fact with our colonial cousins. THE BOYS WERE TOO FRESH. TEIIS IS TI -IE FIRM CONVICTION OF MISS SNELLING, OF GUELPH. The youth John Purcell was put on trial at Guelph on the charge of -committing a rape on a young wo, man named Lydia Amelia Snelling one evening in April last. The prosecutrix was at that time en- gaged as a nurse to an invalid lady in Guelph, and going out for a walk after dark a young elan accosted her and asked leave to walk with - her. On a little pressure from him, ..as stated by her, she consented to r allow him to accompany her, and when they bad arrived in a secluded place the young man committed the outrage. She swore positively that 'the prisoner was the person, though she had only seen him once before. Two young girls who knew the prisoner testified to having met the prosecutrix on one of the streets which the latter stated she and her companion walked through, and along with her was a young man, whom they took to be Purcell, with whom they are both acquainted. For the prisoner several witnesses were Fbxamined, who stated- that at tIl�Ttimeethe-,ou.trag.0.. was— aa.id,.,to, have been committed they saw the prisoner in a different part of the , city for such a length of time as pre .oluded the possibility of his having been theguilty person. A constable, who wascalled for the purpose of showing that the prosecutrix had tirade complaint to hiw shortly after the outrage was said to have been committed, stated that she prefaced it by remarks that the boys about here were getting too fresh. She did not show any agitation at that time, although it was only about a quarter of an hour before, according to her story, she had been ill treated. Verdict, not guilty. VICTORY AT VIVIAN.
