Court delivered on the 131h inst. the prov- inces acquire enormous properties and important privileges which have hitherto been in dispute between them and the Dominion. The fisheries case, involving the ownership of beds of lakes and streams and the right; to leasevfishing privileges in navigable waters, is decided in favor of the provinces. The power of the Dominion to conserve and regulate the fisheries is confirmed. It has power also to impose general licenses upon all’ persons fishing, still such licenses cannot be restricted to any particular locality. â€"-â€"A sitting of the Bobcaygeon division court was held on Thursday last, ~before Deputy-Judge McSweyn. The cause celebre. says the Independent, was one between Thos. Sedeewich of Snowden, and Talbot Evans of Manvers. Series- wich claimed $60 over a much involved trade of a horse for three head of cattle. in which there was talk of "‘bnot” and three barrels of apples. The tww gentle- men met in Lindsay. arm the exchange was made here. Evans claims he got the horse from a neighbor, took it from ploughing, and brought it to Bobmygeon. The day was stormy, the horse not being shod, slipped on Little Bob bridge. and when he came here was a bit lame. but sound. Sedgewich took the home home. and from there to Gilmour’s shanties, where he worked four days. The horse was then too sick to work, and be stirred for home but it died on the road. Some witnesses said the horse had springr halr, grease, and, a number of things that no self respecting animal'should have. The original owner. since examined in Lind- say, said the horse was Sound when it left him. Mr. G. H. Hopkins appeared for Sedgcwick, and Mr. ThOS. Stewart for Evans. Argument was subsequently heard in Lindsay, and judgement was given in favor of Mr. Evans. The province alone have power' to ap- portion by lease certain waters to those who purchase the exculsive right to fish in them. The lands of public harbors are declared to belong to the Dominion and as a. consequence the right to fish therein. The Dominion controls all waters in the Indian resenations. The Dominion government. has no power to giant leases for fishing in any part of \he Dominion. In tidal waters neither the Dominion nor the provinces can restrict the public right of fishing. The Ontario fishery act is declared to be legal except when it may interfere With the Dominion power of conserving fisheries, but the Ontario act will be held good unless the Dominion has legislated in that particular. The Fishery Act of the Dominion is de- clared to be ultra vires except in a few minor particulars. “"fi“""'"“ â€"-â€"~ 7 . l ., is tronger than the bodyâ€"until the body has became so weak as to have lost the ability to recuperate.

After having tamed him so that he will eat while you are Watching him, which he will some. times do in one. or two days, get him accustomed to having your hand around the sage. Then lasso or noose him around his body with a small cord, and take him out of the cage-without lifting him by the cord. Take care, for he will bite and sink his little teeth almost through the bone of your finger if he has the chance. Now take a glove that has been stufled full of cotton, and stroke him gently with it. If.he attempts to bite give him a tweak. Repeat this as often as he tries to bite. and he will soon learn that if he sits still he is all right. Now feed him from the thick glove. In asurprisingly short time he will give up all idea of biting, and. you can stroke him or pick himoup with your hand and carry'him about in your pocket. He will grow wonderfully attached to you, and when Once tamed thoroughly he will never run away; although he may pay short visits to his mates, he will return to you.
