Ktw ardi e's mystery in" the disap- eearance of Angus Matheson remains unsolved, the magistrates dismissing the charge against Seaman H. Laird, who was arrested a few week ago on suspicion.

Mr. Thomas Russell, of Riverside Farm, Usborne, has disposed of his well known young prize'hull, "River- side Hero the Second," to Hon. M. H. Cochrane, of Compton, Quebec. This bull is two years old and is one of the best of his age in Canada: He was bred by Mr. Russell, as. was also a very fine heifer of the some age, for which Mr. Cochrane also made a liberal offer, but it was not large enough to tempt Mr. Russell to part with her. Richardson Faulkner, of St. Marys, who was expelled from the Sons of Scotland on the ground that he was of Irish birth and who proved that he was horn in the land of the heather, states that he was born in Ayrshire, not Argyleshil'e, .57 years ago, his native town being Irvine.

About five months ago she, with her husband, moved to Seaforth, and had just got settled dps'vn to housekeeping when she contracted lung trouble, and des- pite all the efforts of local physicians, and also doctors from London, she succumbed to the fell destroyer. The Listowel Banner of a recent date says:—Mr. 3. H. McDonald remov- ed the remains of Mrs. McDonald's grandmother from the' old cemetery to the new this Week and was surpris- ed to find the coffin very heavy, and upon opening it to find the remains nearly as perfect as when buried eigh- teen years ago. The grave was on the side of the hill, at the northern part of the old cemetery, and the coffin had been surrounded with spring water which had preserved the wood of the coffin perfectly, and apparently placed a deposit of limestone throughout the body, preserving the form and solidify- ing it. The hands and features were quite recognizable. The circumstance is not a very usual one, though there are a number of similar cases on re- cord. It only occures -where water charged with limestone or some such solution percolates through the grave. The town of Preston is in the throes of a miniature strike. Thinking it much to be desired that tbe Main street should have the dust laid for Dominion Day the town firemen asked and ob- tained permission from the deputy reeve to use the fire apparatus to sprinkle the streets with. This would have been all right had they waited until Monday or even until after church on Sunday to dosthe work. But they didn't.

Leatherdale of Brussels, who died tat Oshawa on the morning of July 12th. Int this connection there is a curious coincidence in Mr. • Leather•dale's family, this being the fourth member that has died on July 12th, all of whom are buried in the Galt cemetery. .The first was Elizabeth Broad (grandmoth- er) died July 12th, 1859, then Jamas Leatherdale (father), died July 12th, 1872; next James Leatherdale (grand- father,) died July 12th, 1876, aged 93 years, and now Elizabeth Leatherdale (stepmother), who died July 12th, 1S94. The Tiverton Watchman of Friday said: ''The preliminary examination of Z. B. Miller in the Nice seduction case carne• off in Kincardine on Tuesday, the court being held with closed doors. After the evidence was heard the magistrates held that the facts of the case as brought out warranted a corn- mital , to the fall assizes, hut Mr. Campion, of Goderich, for Mr. Miller, argued that in a case like this where high legal opinion was necessary, the evidence should be submitted to the crown attorney. This was allowed by the bench, but Mr. Miller failing to get sufficient bail in the meantime, elected for summary trial." On Monday last Judge Barrett tried the case at Walker- ton, and Miller was acquitted, Mr. Campion . conducting the defence. The Walkerton herald says: "No little credit is due the prisoner's counsel, whose cross-examination and manage- ment of the case, was very favorably commented on." The „St. Marys Journal says :—The Orangemen of this district are law- abiding, gentlemanly and inoffensive. In fact they rank with the best element in the cowrnunity. It is thereforeea matter of regret that .certain members' of that order should have been the victims of air Outrage perpetrated by the toughs of St. Marys, on the night of the 12th. But such was the case however. Stones were thrown at vehicles containing Blanshard Orange- men as they passed over Victoria bridge on the way home and another member of the order had his hat snatched from his head by some rough who made good his escape. Had the miscreants been captured they would, no doubt, have received their deserts. Catholics as well as Protes- tants who asseinhled on the scene of the outrage were alike indignant and were ready to resent the insults. It was the work of a gang of toughs- who are allowed altogether too much . freedom in this town. On Thursday, the 12th inst., the cor- oner, Dr. $tanbury, of Bayfield, was ' summoned to Blake to hold an inquest on the body of oue James Dunbar, who had lived alone in a little house for a mustier of years, and was fq unddead in bed. De- -` ceased was about 62 years old and had been in failing health for some time, though it does not appear he had re- ceived any attention or medical treat- ment. A thorough examination was made of the house and contents, as well as of the body, but no startling facts were revealed. A few•papers and letters from the island of Malta, in the Mediterranean sc•a, pointed to the only relatives which deceased appeared to have, and even these documents date back some eight or ten years It alsoappearshehad heed at one time in or about St. Marys. Parties who know anything about the deceased or his affairs are requested to communicate with the coroner. The verdict of the jury was, death from natural causes. At Port Albert. Mr. McNau hton, contractor Goder ich Hardor Works, was in the Port on Thursday last. P. Navin, who has the contract of the Harbor Works here, was up looking after his timber, &c.
