H P Cooke, KC, HA C Machin, and Jas Robinson, Kenora, barristers, appeared for various fitig- ants before the Court. The interest that attaches to the periodic visits of the District Judge was further stirred on this occasion by the number and nature of decisions involved, some of which were of vital importance in the general conduct of business in an active Community. P. A. Jones sued T. J. Latimer for $110, payment for plastering of a house. Defendent disputed claim, alleging that the job was not first class as per verbal agreement, and cracks in the plaster were due to faulty work of the plaintiff. Evidence showed that some of the cracks were caused by unsuitable lathing, and after consultation between the parties sug- gested by the Court, they agreed on an amount allowing Mr Latimer for be deducted from the contractor's claim. Judgment was rendered ac- cordingly. Judgments were given in favour of the Municipality of Machin vs. Aggis Tor taxes; also as against a former school teacher in the suit to recover income tax, the point regarding mon- residence not being pressed. National Manufacturing Co., v. Pol- son on a Judgment Summons, the de- fendant, Polson, not appearing, the Judge enlarged the case to give him another opportunity, also issuing a warning that non-appearance would constitute contempt of Court, punish- able by imprisonment. D. W. Scott v. Ferguson (garnishee) did not succeed, on thé grounds that an order for the amount in favour of B. A. Klose, had already been accepted before the attachment notice was served. H. Wright, Wabigoon, sued N. Col- leen to collect a note which fell due in March, for a cow sold by him. Defend- ant bought the cow at auction last September, the cow being described by the auctioneer as sound and a £2004 milker. On taking delivery a few days later, she was found to he discharging matter from one teat on being milked. Mrs Colleen immediately complained to plaintiff, who assured her the cow had only contracted a slight cold and would be all right after a simple treatment he had used before. Still doubtful, Mrs Colleen sent for a veterinary, who exa- mined the cow two weeks later and found it in an advanced stage of tuber- culosis, and ordered that it be killed, The butcher found several sccretions of tubercular matter in the ecareasc which had to be burned. The question at issue was whether the cow was diseased at the time of sale, and whether the plaintiff Wright had been aware of the fact. In rebuttal plaintiff did not deny the statements af the defence, but affirmed his belief that the cow was in good condition when he sold it and had contracted disease after | the sale, The Court held that the had been established, although plaintiff may have been in error as to its nature --otherwise the sale of an animal ir the condition described might be held as fraudulent. After quoting from authorities, the Judge decided that the plaintiff could not collect the note, the animal sold not being in sound condi- tion when the sale was made. The case of Crosier v. Dennis was not completed. Parties and their wit- nesses having been heard, the case was reserved to allow H. P. Cooke, K. C.. for the plaintiff, to submit a written plea, judgment to be given later. In Rex v. Bromski, trial was post- poned to September 19th, at Kenora. Particulars of the hearing of appeals with regard to the forthcoming refer- endum will be found on page four of this issue.

Mr Torrie goes from here to Kenora to continue his work. The meetings in Dryden have been well attended from the first. Not more than one or two had been held when it was found necessary to move from the Baptist Church, where they began, to the larger auditorium. The powerful exhortation of this fanious orator has produced a marked effect on many lives, whose conduct subsequent to the Revival will be the measure of the good accomplished. Mr Torrie is a forceful speaker, earnest 'and convincing, who abjures all sensational effects and believes in the plain telling of the old truths in the most simple, direct way. Not Dryden alone, but the whole country needs spiritual re-awakening, and that the work begun here by Mr Torrie may be continued and blessed is the earnest prayer of every Christian.

MINING IN NORTHERN ONTARIO TORONTO, Sept, 9.--Sir Robert Clough, Keighley, England; who has just returned from a tour from the Northern Ontario mining fields, pre- dicts great development of the mining industry in the next few years. "My tour of the north has convinced | me that the gold production of Cntario 1 almost bound to increase in the Very near future," he said. "If all the par- ties interested--mine owners as well as mine workers--will only devote their energies to mining gold and not let company promoters attempt to mine the publie, then British capitalists, who as a general rule, are good sports, will feel sure of a fairrun for ther money, and he disposed to take a much larger share in the development of Canada's mineral wealth than they have hither- to done." : LABOUR DAY RECEIPTS.
