The concert held last week for the benefit of MmDavis who was so seriously maimed at the station some weeks since, was very successful. The treasurer Mr. J. L.

By a. change in the Crook’s Act we understand that to the other duties of the police is added the important one of look- ing after violations of the liquor laws. This is as it should be. In face of the fact that so far our local police authorities have been blind to the violations of the billiard license by-law in town, more than ordinary pressure will have to be brought to bear to ensure a proper observance of both the billiard and liquor laws. No trifling in these matters must be tolerated.

Under a late amendment to the Crook’s Act, every hotel over two stories in height must be provided with a fire escape. We understand that no license can be granted to any one whose premises come short of he requirements imposed by the Statute. The bar must open into the street; no dark denin the rear will be allowed; and no blinds or frosting on the windows of the bar. Strict compliance with the rules is imperative.

Not one of your stiff, formal afl'airs, but a jolly gathering, met for a friendly hour, and to enjoy it. It was at McConnell’s, the Royal, where the club has supped since it had an existence. This was the 5th anniversary, and the age of club 7 years. Capt. S. Britton, headed the table, Mr. J. G. Edwards took the vice-chair, and members of the club more or less prominent, sat about the board. About 30 were present, not taking into , account those who dropped in and those who forgot to come. Commodore H. 0. Rogers, of Peterboro’ was the guest of the of the evening, and Mr. F. Dobbin, an old club member joined in on the occasion. The spread was ample and satisfying. It was eaten with relish and voted good. Speeches were made by almost the entire company, and songs galore were sung. To repeat the list for either of the accomplish- ments would necessitate every name in the room being put on paper.- The club are to be congratulated on’the success as it serves a good purpose in keeping alive the interest in this manly sport. Great things were promised for the ensuing sea- son.

We regret to announce the death of Mrs. English of Omemee, widow of the late James English, one of the oldest and most respected settlers of Emily. The subject of this sketch first settled in Emily in the year 1818, and her husband in the year 1822, when that townsqip was nothing more than a dense forest, which from that time gradually gave away to the sturdy axeman until it has become one of the best Townships 1n the County. The deceased was the mothcr of twelve childrenâ€"two of whom, Isaac and George died several years agoâ€"and ten survives her, four sons and six daughters, Robert and Samuel, of Omemee,.lohn James, of Maple Creek, N. W. T , Wm. H., of Carberry, Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. James Balfour, Mrs. Davidson, Mrs. Clarke, of Omemee, Mrs. Hodge, township of King, and Mrs. J. Harding, of Lindsay. The funeral which took place on Thursday was very largely attended by sympathising friends and acquaintances. Ops Agricultural Spring Show. The Ops Spring Show was held on Sa~ turday last. The show of horses was not so numerous as at former exhibitions, while there was not a single bull on ex- hibition. This fact does not speak well for the Ops farmers. The attendance of visitors was very good, the receipts at the gates, being $9 in advance of last year. The following is the prize list:â€" HEAVY DRAUGHT HORSESâ€"6 entries, 1st, T. J.

Smith of Toronto for trespass to lot 8 in the 2nd con Snow- don. , The defendant did not deny cutting the timber in the lot, but claimed that the plaintiff’s title founded on a tax deed was not good on the ground that the land was bought at a tax sale while her husband was acting as County Treasurer. Judgment reserved as to the legal point. Damages ifzany. fixed at $94.50 Moore or plaintiff, Osler Q. C. and Dean for Defendant. ARCHIBALD MCCALL vs CHARLES WAYj AND JOHN DORELL. Action for libel. The 3 parties live in the township of Glamorgsn ‘ in the county of Haliburton. McCall and Way were nominated for the reeveship on 31 Dec. last. Dorell who is the bailiff of the Division Court read to the electors present a paper to the effect that the plaintiff three years ago did steal one mappin, a chain, one augur, and an axe from a punt at the Burnt River bridge. It appears that a young man named Cyrus White had stated to Way, who is aJustice of the Peace, that he had seen the plain- tiff take the articles from a. punt and put them aside to prevent them from being ‘ stolen and that they belonged to Mr. Boyd, and that the statement was distor- ted as above, and read out to the electors to prevent them voting for McCall. When the case came on defendants consented to a. verdict and as the plaintiff merely brought the action to vindicate his char- acter a judgement was entered for plain- tifl‘ for 25 cents with full costs of suit. The plaintiff has resided over ten years in Glamorgan and is now reeve of that town- ship. Hudspeth, Q. 0., for plaintifi', Devlin for defendants. SPENCE v.

In the im- mediate neighborhood of our village no very great harm was done, but to the north the wind was much stronger, un- roofing buildings, blowing down fences, uprooting trees, etc. Mr. ' John Caughlin had a. part of the roof of his barn torn off, Mr. H. L. Minthorne had his barns literally torn to pieces, some of the timbers and portions of the roof being carried several rods and smashed. How- ever, no lives n.ere lost, although, the two eldest daughters of the last named person had a narrow escape. They were about to drive a flock of sheep into the barn when it colapsed. Had the accident happened a few minutes later, it might have been our and duty to chornicle a far worse accident.
