The tates of the Opposition in discussing the dismissals from the Weights and Measures Biaff was ludicrous in the extreme when by a ehsuge of system in place of 125 only 40 men were to be employed how wus it possible to avoid dismissals.

Local Legislature. * The inglotious charge of the cork screw Lrigade occupied all Thursday's sitting. It was amusing to hear Mr. Sinclair, one of the most humble and obedient of the Mowat following whining becnuse the public were informed ofany particulars of the ex- pensive fuddle and wiih a view to screen the Mowat party and®government from the suerited odium of so great an outrage he tried the miserable but hopeless dodge of two blacks making a white. The ticky member tried to offset the charge of the cork screw brigade by the official guazles of by-gone days but he only succeeded in in creasing and intensifying the disgrace, -- there can be no palliation for the crime. -- Under no circumstances should a crowd of men and boyr be allowed to feast, fuddle and smoke {ho hard earned taxes of the poople and all who participate in itor try to defend it are guilty of a breach of triixt and should be duprived of another opportunity of play- ing fast and loose with the people's money The committee of the House went into the Supplimentary Estimates on Saturday ad the Mowat Government in their gushing generosity with the people's money brought in an item of $27,374 as gratituties to old employees of the Government.

The lively Village of Utica was the theatre of amore than usually interesting legal tournament on Wendesday 25th inst. It ape pears that one Mr John Bentley has had a dog poisoned and learning that two young men in the neighborhood had put out poison he lodged an information against them for a violation of the Game Law. Accordingly the young men were hronght before a bench of Magistrates--Squires Squelch and Walker. Both prosecution and defence appeared arm- ed to the tzeth with the moat effective legal weapons, Over one hundred of the repre- sentatives of the bone and sinue of the vill- age and its surroundings turned out té* par- ticipate in the fray. . the magisterial element was not to call numerous but it was weighty and powerful. Our correspondent, D. C., hag left us pretty much in the dark as to the details of the con- flict but we can easily imagine the determin- ed nature of the struggle, the terrible onset of the prosecution and the dexterous hits of the defence, But it soon became obivous that he dufence was fighting against odds for the legal leader of the Chaige hurled the G.m Act at the now retreating defence and converted the retreat into a rout and unconditional surrender, The vanquished leader of the defence handed his sword to the two repregentatives of her majesty, The sentence of the Court was that the two defs should "enrich the exchequer to the amount of $3 each, and then O | horror 1 the vanguished pajr must reimburse the whole tribe for all their trouble und expense real and imaginary--the representatives of the Crown, the representatives of the Bar, Baile ifs, Constables and dear knows who all, We nnderstand that the two young men placed some. poison for foxes not knowing that they were violating the Game or any other law, A moments consideration how. ever, will convince any one that putting out poison ix fraught with the greatest danger 1 public money for such purp ut the authority of the Legislature and : fe Government think fit to ; Pardee threw & bombshell oly informing the House ~ determined not ml oe Yan It becomes our painful duty to record the : a land that the entire surroundings would i n 1 | pathy nous, to all ani , not pting the human, and the law must provide against it, We are fully convinced that the young men had no evil design in what they did, neither did they kuow that they were com. mitting & crime, pd Drowned. death by drowning of ; Francis Huckin roang man 18 years of age, son of Huckins, 11th con. of the township of Reach. bout six o'clock on the evening of Monday, arch 1st, deceised went to the woods bring home a cross-cut saw and while crossing the the ice gave way and there ; opeased search was Snstituted but fovud til! the following morning. h a felt fo the disconsolute tamily Brown & Carrio have received {their Spring Stock of Ladies' and ildren's Posts apd Slippers, some- & Currie ha piel the near . interesting n for the and ifn few of th | Orange Soiree.

Dur- ing the time they were inAllin's pasture four of them were destroyed by dogs. hey were killed sometime in September and it is only now that Mr. Wheeler comes before the council for compeygation. The reeve stated that had Mr. Wheeler applied within the time limited by law it would have been a nice question for the Council to decide as to whether he was entitled fo compensation under the circum stances, being a non-resident a case of the kind bas never come before any Council with which be lias been connected and the Act appears to be silent on that point, -- But this isa view of the case with which the Council is not called to grapple as under any circumstances Mr. Wheeler has forfeited any claim he might have vy not applying within the time limited by law, Mr, Goggin, enys the council can in no case grant compensation unless application is wade within the proper time and if the council did grant compensation to parties who had not made application within the time set forth by law any ratepayer could make the council pay it back, Mr. Wheeler, said that his solicitor had advised him that he could co'lect compensa. tion from the municipality, Ifhe did not make application in time it was not his fault, that he had told one of the members of council of it and he had come to make com- plaint on the first Monday in February but their was no meeting, The reeve said had there been a council meeting at that time it would have been too late for the complaint and talking to a member asa matter of conversation is not making a proper application, Mr. Lattimor said he did not see where the council is liable in any way the fact of the application not being mad: in time cannot be got over, On motion of Mr. Goggin Mr. Wheeler's application was »dismissed not having b made within three months from the time the lambs were killed, Mr. A.

Mr A Natrass made aplication for indigent aid for the family of one James Swith, Mr. Goggin said such applications should be accompanied by a petition from the neighbors of the indigent who know about his circumstances and whether he is deserv- ing. The Reeve said that such applications should certainly be accompanied by such a petition as Mr, Goggin refers to. On motion of Mr. Lattimor the matter was left in the hands of Mr. Cowan to cx- amine into the matter and act as necessity demands. Mr. R.
