"- While Mr. and Mrs. John McAsh and
son, of the Bayfield road, near Varna'
were preparing to return home after a

suddenly bolted and started off down

Die leading story in the Septembe
number of that sprightly publica
tion, "Tales from 'sown Topics,"
is entitled "That Dreadful Woman,"
which title is evidently used in a satiri-
cal sense, the "woman," whom society
stigmatizes as "dreadful," as a matter
of fact, proving herself something
little short of a',samt. There is another
character, Tottie Spangl foot, a dancing -
girl, whose conduct proves that women
of her class are occasionally afflicted
, with the possession of a heart that per-
sists in remaining in the right place.
Some of the characters may possibly be
recognized as having been drawn from
the types to be found in the "upper ten
thousand" of a large western city. The
story bears the imprint of a cynicism
perhaps too marked to be enjoyable,
but the heroism with which Mrs. Van-
dergr'ife bears ger burdens, and the
pathos and nobility of the sacrifice she
makes for the man she loves, cannot
fail to awaken the sympathy of the
reader. The remainder of the book is
made up of the customary bright
stories, poems sketches, burlesques
and snappy witticisms from former
nutnbers of Town Topics. Town Topics

Re township of Mortis and county of
Huron. Judgment on` appeal by the
corporation of the county of Huron
from an order and decision of Fer u -
son, J., dismissing an appeal by the
appellants from an award under the
Municipal Act in favor of the corpora-
tion of the township of Morris, where-
by the appellants were ordered to
contribute towards the erection and
maintenance of bridges in the town-
ship, under sec. 533 (a) of the Consoli-
dated Municipal Act, 1882. Since the
inception 'of the appeal the Legislature
has repealed the section in question,
and left only the question of costs to be
disposed of. Counsel for the appellants
contended that the award was bad,
and that they were entitled to the
costs. Appeal dismissed with costs.

Brown vs. Murray. -His Honor
Judge Doyle has given a judgment in
this case which is of much importance
to farmers and others dealing in stock.
The plaintiff, Samuel Brown, resides
in Ashfield, where John W. Murray,
the defendant, also resides; both are
farmers and cattle dealers. On the
7th Sept., 1893, Brown sold to Murray
eight head of cattle and received on
account thereof the sum of $5, and the
following week Murray picked out his
cattle from a large number and brand-
ed them. Murray was to take bis
cattle in about three weeks. The
cattle not having been taken within
the time agreed on, Brown, without
givingMurray to understand, that he
intened to hold hien to the bargain,
sold at a loss of $69. For this sum
he sued in the Dungannon court, and
after consideration His Honor deliver-
ed the following judgment

FROM QUEBEC.—N. C. Officer Jack-
son writes Capt. Combe and member
Barge two very in teresting letters from
camp at Point Levis, Que. Along with
Seruton and Upshall the three arrived
safely and passed a vera severe medical
examination. Out of some 150 no less
than 30 were rejected and" ordered
"home." Jackson and Upshall are in
barracks and Scruton under canvas.
The letter says :—"I see the General
every day. I was deceived in his ap-
pearance. I expected to see a fine,
portly old Englishman, but he is tall,
young and slight, with a commanding
build. The sights are simply grand
opposite the Fall ofs Montmorencyland
the Island of Orleans which cut. so
great a figure between the French and
English in 1759. The Plains of Abraham
and the Citadel are all in sight. I
could, if it wasn't for the boys, the
artillery band and the fort—every-
hing is life—write for a month." In
riting to Barge he says :—"At the
aces in Toronto we met Copp, Ken-
edy and Walker, but could not wait
r the finish. We arrived at Point
•vis safely. There are about 160
ttached men besides the regulars.
e Falls of Montmorency, about 275
t high, are a grand sight to see. The
tadel of Quebec is also a grand sight
see. The people down home (in
ton) think this is all, but they are
taken. There are three. large forts
site the river to the side we are on.pp
are opposite Quebec with the St.
pence River between us. I was up
ng at them and they are worth $5

"The evidence shows the cattle iu
question had become the property of
the defendant in the ' payment of
earnest and the placing of defendant's
brand on them. That beim so the
onus is on plaintiff to justify his re -sale
of them and his right to recover froths
defendant the loss on such . re -sale.
The plaintiff should, before re -sale,
have notified defendant to pay the
balance of price and take the cattle
away, and give him clearly to under-
stand that unless he did so he (plff)
would re -sell and look to defendant for
the loss, if any. This was not dyne.
I, therefore, dismiss the plaintiff's
claim and direct judgment for defend-
ant."
A great many people have the idea
that if stock is not taken away at the
date agreed upon, that they can do
what they like with it. From the
above judgment they will see that the
ltaw is entirely different, and that
before they attempt to sell property
which belongs to the purchaser, they
must take the proper steps to get rid of
his title.—Star.
