The toast of " The Queen" was given in good style and responded to by the entire company joining in " God Save the Queen" Ted by Mr. Prince. "The Prince of Wules" and other loyal and patriotic toasts were given and en- thusiastically received and responded to, -- Then came the toast which was anxiously waited by all--* The guest of the evening." The thorough and long acquaintance of the chairman, Mr. Major, with the worthy guest of the evening and his family fitted him for the interesting duty of proposing this toast and he certainly did his subject full justice speaking of Mr: Bowers and his good lady in the most complimentary terms, strongly expressing the regret of all at having Mr, Bowers remove from the lceality, but at the same time expressing the sincere desire and earnest prayer of all that health, prosperity and happiness may follow Mr. Bowers and his estimable family wherever they go. Mr. Bowers replied in feeling and affec tionate terms, thanking the company for their hospitable entertainment acknowledg- ing the compliment paid him and the partner of his life, expressing regret at separating from so many kind and worthy friends and assuring all present that they shall ever be dear in his remembrance and if all should not meet again on earth he Lonel all would mect in that better land where parting is unknown, N.F, Paterson, Esq., now spoke to the toast of the guest of the evening ; his re. marks were appropriate, interesting and pointed.

Some of the creditors getting wind of part of the debtor's property finding its way into the hands of the debtor's father placed the ease in the hands of Mr. Cochrane who at once took action and had the goods seized on behalf of the execution cred itors and an interpleader suit followed which the wheat to be a# nearly pure Eldorado as could be got amongst farmers, and I bought it, IT sowed it myself, when the wheat first headed I could not see any Eldorada wheat in it and I began to think there was none of it, I cold see Fife and Scotch but no Eldo- rado, after a bit the Eldorado came but not one third of the crop was Eldorado, the several varieties did not ripen together and it had to be cut ere some of it was fit for cutting, the value of the wheat might be about 90 cents a bus.

A form of first put in the box and being sworn admitt- ed that her busband bad got hay, pcas, a couple of pigs, a pair of bob-sleighs and a cutting box belonging to the absconding debtor but these were only taken in part payment of a note which the abeconder Agreement or contract furnished by the publishers, was supplied to the agents or canvasscrs and when parties subscribed for a copy of the work they signed this agreement and subscriber. When the demand for payment of the Atlas was made defs, re- Tused and plfs, entered suit for the price and interest, The defence set up in this case was that defendants had been jnduced to subscribe for the work on the representation of pfs'. Agent that the Atlas wonld contain a Directory of the names and Post Office address of all the property owners in the county, Mr. Jones. a member of the firm, and Mr. Abs, Bookkeeper in the establishment, gave testimony in support of the contention of defs, PIf's counsel produced a copy of the con- tract between the publisher and subscriber, suid contract having been signed by the subscriber in ordering the work.

This is as it onght to be, it is time that a decided and decisive check was given to this by far too common mode of defrauding credit. Men will rush recklessly into debt, taking all they can get without the slightest intention of ever paying. They may have ever so much property but at a convenient season they let their property slide into the hands of some relation or friend and ere the creditors are aware the bird has flown, and when they look for the property some relat. ive has it snugly in his possession, he had bought the property in a legitmate way, paid an enormous price for it, would rather he had not bought it, he never dreamt that the party BE. last before Squires Squelch, generally vO readers, butas the matter bas not yet been ' | satisfactorily. unprofitable evening the company broke up Tbe large guiherings on both nights when the .

To dmin the part or portion of the suid Lake Scugog so to be cut off lying to the south of the said Embankment and to vest ull the lands The worse than foolish attempt on the part of continental sovercigns to tramp out and destroy with a high hand every link which binds the toiling ones together for mutual protection is as every ome might expect, producing rank and bitter fruit c:eating an antagonism between crownel heads and brawny arms, an antagonism which can work nothing Lut mischief to both parties. Plebeians have rights no less sacred and cqually dear to them as those of kings and governors, and no community can prosper or have peace in which the rights os both are not respected, and the attempt to crush on the one hand or revenge oa the other cannot fail to bring a cup of bitterness. Happy is that state in which the rights and liberties of the rolers and ruled are placed io equal safety, High banded suppression of Infermtion- &ls, avti-socialist legislation, crushing of nihilism produce resulta quite the opposite of what is fotended, changes the battle cry and briugs into direcy conflict those who should be trienda, and mow the humiliating spectacle presents Msclf over the emtive con- tinent of Europe of kings having to be guarded from the bullet and knife of the assassin, ' The thrill of horror over Europe and America produced by the attempted assassin. ation of the Emperor of Germany had scarcely subsided when all were again startled Ly an attempt to assassinate King Humbert of Italy, The Kg was driving along the public sticets when a flag bearer named Passanante with a knife fastened on the end of his flag staff made an attempt to stab the king, but happily foiled in his diabolical attempt, suc- ceeding only in striking the king on the arm and was secured. On the day following a public processisn was held in honor of the providential deliverance of the king, But even bere the band of the assussin was present, for during the passage of the pro- cession in honor of the kings escape a bomb was thrown among a corps of veterans and exploded. Two men wee killed and seventeen wounded. The young king of Spain too has Just narrowly escaped the bullet of the assassin, but he is said to be far less nervous in re. gard to assassins than the old emperor of Germany. The first has been fired at only once, while the Emperor--counting bis imperial experience only--has been shot at three times and bit once, Vienxa, Nov. 18.--A telegram from Ber. lin reports a belief current that a plot exists for the assassination of all sovereigns. It is stated that the Russian judges, when ex- amining Nobeling's case, were led to believe in the existence of a central organ: ization for this purpose and investigations are still going on, Moving in the Matter.
