It men. -ured 7 feet 1 inch across at the stump and it was 46 feet from the ground to the first limb. It was cut into four semions. the first sec- tion measuring 1'). feet and each of the others 11 feet in length. It contained in 3117,6431 feet board measure. It was of soft elm. It grew on the farm of Mr. Thomas Grieve, 2nd concession. McKillop. It made a big load for four sleighs to dm 19'. It was perfectly sound, and there wiil not be a foot of waste timber in it. This tree. accord- ing to internal rings, is 341 years old. â€"Mr. Worthy Acret, a. farmer residing about a mile east of Brantford,on Thursday tound $500 in silver in an old safe stand- ing in a back kitchen in his house, and long since discarded. Mr. Acret intended selling the safe for old iron, but, thought he would see what was in it before doing so. He accordingly got an axe and broke open the locked door, when to his sur- prise, the monev rolled out. The cash was nearly all in English silver, sixpences and shillings. Mrs. Acret’s father, who occupied the house up to the time of his death a few years ago, was an eccentric old gentleman. It is supposed he left the money in the safe many years ago, and it has never been opened since. â€"The economy of killing cattle in pro- perly-equipped abattoirs is proved by the experience of the stockyards of Chicago. To such an extent has the utiliZation of the by-products been carried there, that now the only waste in a. steer is the gastric juice, and what was formerly the waste is now worth more than the meat. As a re- sult of this care and econ my, the financial returns from a steer, as estimated by one in the business and quoted by the Boston Journal of Commerce, are: “From the meat and compounds of meat, $40; from the bide.. hair, horns and hocfs, $25; from the fats, blood, sinews and nones. $15; from all other waste, $15; or $55 received from the by-products. , â€"A decision was rendered by Judge Peabody in the city police court on Thurs- day, that under certain conditions a. bus- band has the right to beat his wife. The. case was of one Bernard Kreitzer, charged with beating his wife because she would not agree with him in the management of their children. Judsze l’eaboy said in passing judgment: “In this case the wife was more guiltv than the husband for trying to contradict and thwart her husband’s will in the presence of the children, and getting them a bad example, which he had a right to rebuke. There are times when a wife irritates her hus- band to such an extent that he cannot control himself and uses his hand or fist. As long as no serious harm is done I believe in punishment." â€"It is astonishing how some men can accumulate so much money in a. short life time. Mr. Hugh Ryan. the well known contractor, who died in Toronto in Febru- ary last, and who commenced life a poor boy, leaves an estate of nearly two miliion dollars.

They shouted for help for a few moments, and luckily. Mr. Cockrane and Allan Patterson came along and conveyed them home.

THE CATHOLIC RECORD EXPLAINS THAT IT WAS WRONGLY INFORMED â€"HOLDS ONE MAN GUILTY YET. Our readers may remember that in our issue of March 16:11 we cornered several erroneoui sbatvments appearing in the Catholic Rec: rd regarding the pro- perd reduction in the poiice magistrate’s salary. In its issue of last. week the Record admits its mistake regarding the council asawhole but. repeats its charge against. one mevnher. Under the heading “The Lindsay Police Magictracy" it has the following to say: “We some time ago made reference to the action of the Lindsay Town Coun- Miss A. M. Machar, (“Fidelis”), Kingston. A COURTEOUS ADMISSION CANADA, FOREVER WEE QWGH SYNDIGM’E We willin2ly make this correction in re2ard to the majority of the coun- cil. nevertheless it remains true that at all events, one member of the council boasted that as the present holder of the office is a Catholic he would make the position not wcrth holdin2 2. Our charg e. of bizotr‘t ry is therefore freely withdrawn as re- gards the council generally. but not as regards this particular individual." [The above admission of error, is onlv what we were quite sure would be made by the editor of the Record as soon as he satisfied himself that our correction was reliable. It isameat satisfaction to dis- cuss matters with a contemporary that so promptly and fully admits an error when it has been pointed out. It is furthermore a matter of congratulation that the Record “21ad1y” clears the town council of aiming toreduce the salary of the police magis- trate because he is a Catholic. \Ve assumeâ€"althou2h it is not expressly stated-that the editor intends to be understood as withdrawing his state- ments that the councillors are "a clique of bigots” giving play to “their A. P. A. “proclivities” in an act_of incredible meanness and narrow-mindedness." \\"ith the charge so fully withdrawn it may not .be too much to ask us toinfer that the caustic strictures founded upon it are also taken back. A point which. is a good deal mrrc clearâ€" ly stated, however, is that one incmter of the council is still guilty. He is declared to have said that, since the police magis- trate is a Catholic, he would make the cflice not worth having. This the Record aflirms is “nevertheless true." S:nce the authority for this statement has been omitted we take it that it rests on the same “evidence that cannot be gainsaid" as: did the charge against the whole council. If so, the Record must he a tirele=s bigot hunter who isloth to have his spirited article go to waste. In this he is doomed to disappointment and another with- 1drawn], for we have asked each member of the council if he ever made such a state- ment and everyone of them has positively denied doing so or ever hearin? any of his fellow-councillors do so. It is painful to point out two wholly untruthful state- ments in the columns of a religious journal in such a short time, but the truth and the honor of our town demands that they shall not go unchallenged. This untortnate action of the Record will, we trust, be a warning to both religious and secular papers against hasty and intern- rate utterances on sectax ian queetbr a. n. WucnuAN-Wnnnm] \Ve have since been informed lgv thoso who ought to know the truth of the matter that the movement toward reducing the salary was dictated. not by any such feeling as our first information led us to believe, and we gladly inform our readers that we have been mistaken in attributing to the majority, :this unworthy motive. as they were influenced by a desire for economy, this tendency to economize having manifested itself before Mr. Steers was appointed to the Magis- tracy. oil in proposing the reduction of Potice Magistrate‘s salary from $1,000 to 8:00 and from information received w». were led to believe that the motives of the majority in passing the reioluticn were dgcmtedrby alga-Catholic feeliqz.
