John has lived on his farm four miles west of the town of Miami for many years. His father came here about a year ago, and has been living with his son. Yesterday afternoon John, who is a man over fifty years of age, had occasion to be absent from his home, and diring his absence his wife and father quarelled about some domestic matter, during which the old man struck her with a piece of fireWood. When her husband returned the wmnan told him :Lll‘abuut the afl'air and wry in.~ l A Man of Eighty Shoots His Own HAM] the husband was indignant. in an Atter this satisfactory explanation, the pcnsioncd veteran was allowed to return home in safety. “ Ginthelmin! Oi sarved under \Velling- ton in the Peninsoolar. Moi ginera‘l larnt me to faste 011 moi inimies, and be dâ€"d if I hav’nt done it." The Peninsular veteran from West Gwil- limbury mounted this rostrum and pre- sented himself at the wicket. Having been asked by the returning officer how he voted, he replied : “ I vote on this,“ throwing down the patent. deed of his land at. the same time, with a flourish. “ But which candidate do you vote for Z" “ Cawthra." was the anSWer, made in a loud voice. Then arose a nerce outcry from the gang of loafers on the ground below, and he stood in great danger of being hauled down from the rostrum and being mobbed. because he had feasted at the expense of one and voted for the other. But turning to the crowd in a hurry, he made the following,r brief oration t b'hncoe was set apart as a separate con- stituency for parliamentary purposes, and the first election to fill the seat was held . in July, 152.8.

An amusing incident is re- ;lnted nshaving been connected with this 3 political struggle. which may he recorded as an example of the events that were wont to happen at elections in those days. It. appears that Robinson kept an open house in Phelps' tavern for the purpose of furnishing gratuitous eatingr and drinking to the free and independent electors, es- pecially those who supported him. Can-- thra, it is said. did the same in one of the houses atJohnson‘s Landing. A soldier, who had received for his services in the Peninsular campaign, a grant of land somewhere back in West. Gwillimbury, and had settled on it, came out on Monday morning to vote, and took up his quarters at Robinson's booth in Phelps' tavern. After feasting there all week at Robinson‘s expense, and making himself generally conspicuous by his noise. he started off on Saturday, the last day of the election, to the polling place, followed by a crowd of loafers and others, many of them half in- toxicated but. all anxious to see how he . would vote. as vote by ballot had not yet ‘ been introduced.

The " Red ‘ Mill," built by Robinson“ was largely patronized for manv years after its erec- tion, havingr been the nearest grist mill to the inhabitants of this eonnlv.

It says that on the occasion of the death of Mr. Thomas Whyte, Minister of the Interior, Senator Macdonald sent: the editor half a dozen verses on the event. with a request that the name of the author he not disclosed. The verses were published and attracted some attention at the time. They are as follows :â€"-- The pope is well, but in consequence of the death of his brother, Cardinal Pecci, his holiness will seclude himself for a tew days.

The creation by a new pontifl‘ of his near blood relative, when he has one in the church, is custoumry. The pope was. however, disinclined to do an act which might look like nepotism, and his brother shrank from the honors and dignities attached to «the purple till the cardinals urgently recommended his ap- pointment. Though the senior of his illustrious brother, Cardinal Peoci looked much younger.
