A streak of extraordinarily power- ful loadstone has been discovered in at deep hole in the fixer bed about ten milcs south of ITog‘clt-ninIO Ky. For some time the place has attract- ed attention because, of a Very strong “suction" Which was responsible for the loss of many cattle and hogs. 'l he hole is about ten feet deep and titty yards long. The water is very clear and the bottom is of solid rock, through the centre of which running lengthwise is a black streak. It is about. live. inches in width and runs the length of the hole. The streak was examined with it commt’m fishj gig and Was found to he Very hard. The gig adhered to the stone and it took no little pulling; to extricate it. Further investigationwas made, and it, is said the streak following the bottom of the river is undoubtedly powerful loadstone. _\ dog- thrown into the water never comes out, but is quickly drawn to the bottom. When a trout line is stretched across the place the unseen energy attracts the hooks to the black streak and there holds them securely until they are drawn out. At times there is a stncng undercurrent in the bayou, which is unaccounted for, and which often sweeps the bottom clean, rel- ieving the loadstone of its collection. the ”eye” of the camera. Anything that is painted on the skin, therefore, with the .chemiCal will be ordinariiy invisible, but will come out promiâ€" nently in a photograph. 'l'he magistrate at the North Lon- don, Eng?” police court has: laid down a new rule for marrit (1 men. It is that they may remain out, until mid- nignt. without being forced to the necessity of giving an explanation as to their whereabouts in case an anxi- ous spouse should want to knOw. This momentous dictum Was induced by a case in which at. Stoke Newing- ton coche-lmuse lxmnag‘vr's Wife sought separation from her hUSiband‘ by‘ri'uson of ill-treatment of her. There was at long recital of quarrels in which boots and cups and fists fig- ured prominently. He had come home late after midnight â€"- and. when his wife, had askml for an ex- planation he had grt't'lt'ti her with a volley of flying boots“. Then the wife sought refuge with her mother, and tin-ally in court. The magistrate issued the above stun-d pronouncia~ tion, and added thztt the wife and mother-in-law had added largely to the domestic uohappiness. and he dis-1 missed the summons. ‘ Cardinal Vaughan has issued a de- claration against the anti-Catholic oath taken by King Edward on his accession, and has ordered that Va general communion of reparation be celebrated in every church Within his jurisdiction.

Last Week every member of both household and staff of the Tribune was in bed with grippe exâ€" cept the editor. and he was suffering with sciatica. It is not strange, therefore. that there was no paper, although the forms were. made up and the paper wetted down from Wednesday morning.

As a further inducement to consumers of binder twine, the directors propose that any sis": of the- Company who will procure and send in an order to the Company {or 500 lbs. of bindert‘: upwards will be entitled to have the order filled at wholesale prices. By adopting this policy the Company will secure a large market among its own sharehi“ very part of Canada, and a still larger market among the neighbours and friends of the shareholder; nay be influenced or induced by them to purchase their twine from the Company. That will tend to do away with expensive agents and travellers. and it is expected that E: 5: item airmc great expense will be saved. The Company are negotiating for the best men in the business to manage it, who willie: rend business men, who thoroughly understand the business and are thoroughly up to date. By carrying out these principles there is no reason why the Company should not succeedii but time in building up a very large and valuable trade. FION. SENATOR McHUGH, Lindsay. EDWIN MARK.
