driving trice from oar doors in fact we cin name numbers 61 basiness men xha assert openly and in the most unqualified terms that the scott act has not only left huaiucsh uninjured but haa already in

most effectively diminishing the sale of intoxicating liquor and that it is the most formidable cuclny the traffic ever had iu the dominiou and lastly that the law ivgaiuiug such a hold upon public

a toronto girl dressed in male attire hires an acton livery rig and offers itforsaleatauelph ou saturday morning last a welldressed young man visited the livery stable of mr rtiward matthews of this village and hired a horse and buggy- for the purpose as he stated of visiting friends residing in nassagaweya about five oclock mr matthews received a telegram from tho guelph chief of police asking hjm to come and claim his property at a young man had been arrested on suspicion for offering it for sale at a ridiculously low figure the young man gave his name as james murray and staled that dr wynn of kaasagaweya owned the rig and had com missioned him to take it to guelph and dispose of it to the best advantage aa he was removing to manitoba suddenly it occurred to the chief that the prisoner presented a very robust sppcarance about the chest and being asked why so much clothing was wrapped about his chest re plied that the doctor had ordered it as a severe coll rendered it necessary to protect his lungs the chief finally accused him of being a young woman dressed in a mans clothes this was at first denied but soon the courage which had carried her so far gave way and bursting into tears she- ad mitted the truth and aflar stating her name was mary bell said she lived in to ronto and ran a knitting machine in a gents furnishing store there for the past five years that she dressed in mens clothes last friday morning and left to ronto for acton where on saturday morn ing she hired the horse andbuggy and droie to guelph the girl appeared before the police magistrate on monday morning she was uill dressed iu male attire and had her- hair parted at one ride she is full faced and rather good looking and about 20 yca of ago it was apparent flic felt her position very keenly and gava as a reason for her trying to sell the horse and rig that a mortgage on her sewing ma- chines fell due on saturday aniehe wished to rsse money enough to pay it she said shc wished to be punished but did uot want her family to know of it she was committed for triah as she was conducted from the court room she cried bitterly it has since been learned that the unfor tunate girl is a daughter of the late mr james bell who resided on thasthandgth couecsaions xassagaweya it will be re membered that about six years ago mr bll had liis finger crushed so severely that dr wynn the medical atlondent found it necessary to amputate them and prescribed carbolic acid as a wash the bottle with the carbolic acid had been placed in the cupboard in which was a bottle of other medicine and by mistake mr bell took the carbolic acid instead of the other medicine which caused his death the girl lias always borne a good reputa tion in toronto liteh y miss bell was bailed
