Johnston, the optician sentenced to three years in Kingston penitentiary for rape, was taken to that institution last Tuesday by Sheriff Drnry. The prisoner remained over night at police headquarters in Toronto and had an interview with his wife be fore leaving for the Limestone City. Johnston protests his innocence of the charge, but admits that he acted unwisely in taking the girl away from home and also in representing himself as being the owner of a house in Toronto worth $18,000 and having $5,000 in cash, when he had scarcely one cent to rub against another. He hopes, through the aid of his solicitor, T. C. Robinette, swan to tho thchnun. to prove his innocence, and the case will in all probability be presented to the minister of justice. J. G.

RATHER A PECULIAR Cassâ€"In August 1887 Mathew Dunlop, a farmer living in the township of Tossorontio. adopted a young girl and in consider. ation of work she was to do, agreed to train her pmperly and educate her. Mr. Dunlap died this summer leaving an estate of $5000. This girl claimed that the deceased gentleman had not fulfilled his part of the bargain and she sued the estate for wages. The case was tried by Sir W. R. Meredith in Barrie and he allowed the girl $500 damagrs. Her story of what work she had done on the farm was a most surprising one. She swore that she did much cradling and binding in harvest time, and one year had hand- led all the grain on the farm‘twice. She also had to do harrowing, pitched manure, tool: care of the stock in the winter, cut wood in the bush and teamed it to the house, washed and sheared the sheep in the spring and did all other kinds of nice work on the farm. We often hear old people talk ing about roughingl it long ago but we would like to see 6 woman that can beat this girl’s story. :39on (a an wnduul. .

In this respect he reminds us very rnuoh of the school “ bully " whose knuckles are always itching for trouble. yet because of an immature mind he is allowed to go unchecked until by his insatiate desire for and persistence in domineering insaolence over innocents. he is at least denied the privilege of playing his little game. known by .Esop as “The Boys and the Frogs." He has now. methinks. reached the climax of his ambitions, when as a sneak thief he “crawls in and secrets himself in a vacant corner. where he had an oppor- tunity of hearing what went on ” at a certain “banquet," which. through his imaginative genius, has become falsely augmented and elaborated. he says well when he remarks that he had an “oppOrtunity to hear,” else we would have said his eyesight were bad. as several gentlemen he makes mention of were net present, and some were present he does not mention. Those 'of the former group are Messrs. J. Barry. A. Wilson, E. Staples and W. Halioran. while ximong those of the latter were Messrs. E Atkinson and E. J. T. Michell.

One of the latest and most remarkable discoveries in this direction seems to be the ability of a certain indi- vidunl to transf0rm himself. Such. seems to be the gift with which the Lifl'ord correspondent of a couple of weeks ago is endowed. He seems to imagine himself with phantasmr. At one time he assumes the form of a fence inspector, and tests the merits of the instructor by driving ahead of him a mixed herd of horses, bulls, rabbits and hogs. Whether he mightbe considered as one of the latter the reader may judge for himself by ti o sarcastic and ignoring criticisms which his narrow-minded genius has not led him to make of everything and everybody whose thoughts and actions do not come within the circle of his bigoWd intellect.
