Notwithstanding the misdoings of the Dominion Government, we cannot help lceling a certain degree of sympathy for them in their desperately bad fix, and: it is not likely that “ Time, the healer," has any rcliel' in store for them. As the «ulnar saying.’ is, they are “ between the I! devil and the deep sea. On the one hand is a compact little phalanx of Catholic Conservatives who threaten their official lives if they refuse to en- force the rcmedial order upon Manitoba; and, on the other hand, a phalanx, about the same size and nearly as com- pact, of Protestant Conservatives threat- en to kick over the traces if a single step towards enforcing the order be taken. Ouimet, Caron and Angershnve already (nominally) resigned, and Mr. Lnurier says, with some show of reason, that only a piece of a Government, too small to transact business, is left, and that it ought in common decency to resign too. A session in January next is announced, in the hope that between then and now the Prairie Province may repent and obey orders, or that some amicable arrangement may be come to. failing which compulsory legislationâ€" or, rather. an attempt at itâ€"is prom- ised. Major Samuel Hughes, M. P., declares that the promise is a complete surrender to the Church of Rome, and says that the priests in the gallery smiled all over their faces when the announcement was made. A Liberal Government would know what to do in the crisis, the sacreducss of provincial autonomy beingr one of the chief planks in the Liberal platform; but a Conserv vative Government is governed. by “exigencies”; and when, as in the present case, a Protestant exigency and a Catholic cxigcncy of about equal strength and determination are pulling: in opposite directions with all their might, the Government they are “ yank- ing” at is sure to rcccive serious if not fatal injuries. A Shocking Affair. Little strokes of lightning judicially administered are said to have a bone- ficial effect upon some perSons, and, con- sequently, soon after Mr. Heard had his premises fitted up with electric lights. one of the clerks, who is of a scientific turn of mind, made arrangements to tap the current for hygienic purposes. Attaching thin copper wires to each of the two large Ones that go through holes in the wall over the back door of the store into the apartments beyond, he passed his private wires through two small staples, one on each side of the door frame, and then twisted a. few inches of each wire into a sot of bunch or tassel to take hold of. The simple apparatus worked to a charm, adminis- tering a mild dose of electricity to who- ever took a tassel in much hand, and it is said that an old and prominent resi- dent of the village went over every day to Mr. Ileard's to get a shock, either brcause he liked the sensation or thought it did him good. So for, well; but science. like avarice, instead of being contr-nt with what it has, is always reaching out for more, and so it was in this case. frame to which the simple apparatus was attached hung a number of chains of different sorts and sizm, and the youthful scienti~t soon discovered that by tying the ends of his wires to two halter chains he could store up sufficient electricity to give a shock strong enough to make a good lump of a boy, or even a man, hump himself and cut some very amusing: capers. The susccpti- bility to electricity varies greatly in difi'crent in diffehnt individuals, some being but slightly nfi'ctcd by a shock of sufficient force to he almost unco- dunble to others, and on Tuesday even- nastiness, Down each side of the door ’ about 18 years old, happened to go with two or three companions into Mr. Heard's store. He was shown the elec- trical apparatus, and, wishing to try its effects, ho touchedâ€"at first very ginger- 9 1y and then with more confidenceâ€"two ; (if the chains hanging against the door frames; but it is thought that they were the wrong ones, as he received no shock. The pair to which the wires were attached were again pointed out and he boldly grasped one in each hand; but at the same instant he gave a yell. his countenance became distorted. and he tried in vain to let go of the chains. As there was no way of shutting off the current the result might have been serious; but at the critical moment the inventor of the contrivance grabbed the young: man by the arm and jerked him backwards with such force that one of the wires fortunately broke and the possible tragedy was averted. It is needless to say that all present were badly frightened, and that no further experiments will be tried, as chain lightning,r has proved itself a dangerous thing to “ monkey ” with. The (low Question. One of our villagers, whom we will call A. B., has sued another, C. D, for $5 compensation for damages done in his grirden on the night of the 5th inst. by a cow owned by. thesaid. C..D‘:, who, as a matter of‘course, declares that A. B. is “ a mean man,” though we doubt whether he will find anybody in the village to agree with him, except, per- haps, the owners of other brenchy cows; and we hereby openly congratulate and felicitate A. B. upon the possession of sufficient moral courage and sense of the eternal fitness of things to-take steps to have justice done in the premises. While discussing and opposing: the pro- posal made, at the beginning of the year, by Councillor Fitzgerald to pre- vent cows trom running at large in. the village-at any time of‘ the year, we said that it would be unreasonable and un- just to punish the owners of a large number of orderly and inoffensive cows because three or four persons persisted in keeping animals of an opposite char- acter, and it is one of the few persons we then had in mind who is now called upon to pay $5'and costs for damages done. by his pet bovine. Other cows besides C'. D.'s have for two or three consecutive years been causing; loss and annoyance to the residents of their re- spectivc neighbourhoods, but the ex- ample set by A. B. of movingr for legal redress will. no doubt be followed by others ;. and, if so, any person who now owns or unwittingly acquires a- breachy cow will at once either dispose of her to some farmer with high fences and strong sates, who is willing to overlook her one vice for the sake of her compen- satiny,r virtues, or make arrangements for keepingr her out of mischief. WW- Verulam Council Proceedings. The Vcrnlam Council met at the towu hall, Bobcaygcon, on Saturday, June 29th, and, after formally closing the court of revision, took up general business.

Mr. Wesley Manning and .‘1 r. Wilbur Austin, the former of whom left the. Falls about six years ago and the latter about four years, returned together on Wednesday of lustweek. Mr. Manning has been in tIIc bikiuqr business at Fort William, but, though he was doing well, life had so few charms in that barren. and bitterly cold region that he availed. himself of an advantageous opportunity to sell out, and will seek a more desir- able home for himself and lho young wife he has brought with him. Mr. Austin came last from- the Sun, but has been on the north shore of the Georgian: Bay and other places since he left home; Powles’s Corners. (Correspondence of the Gazette.)
