It rained nearly 311 the time he was with us and his success wee, therefore, interfered with. Notwithstanding this five new members were initiated at a speck! meeting on Thursday night last, and a number of others are like- ly tocome in shortly.

Father Threatens to Shoot His Son. A case of considerable‘interest was heardvjxere before Mayor Laidlaw on Monday afternoon last. on complaint of James Carson against Cosmo Cam- eron, of Normanby, for interfering with and assaulting him while in the discharge of his official duty. The original tiouble goes back to a dispute between the defendent Cosmo Cameron and his father. William Cameron, whose farm Cosmo was VWIuv- ' â€"_ working in accordance with some verbal agreement by which. it ap- pears, Cosmo was to ,keep, and pro- vide for the father during his life. and was then to fall heir to the esmte. When the crop was thrashed and housed. it appears Mr. Cameron, Sr., refused to allow his son to re- move it from the place, inserted an advertisement in THE CHRONICLE for- bidding its removal, and further got Constable Carson to lock the granary and issue instructions to Cosmo not to interfere with the old man in removing anything belonging to him. This part of the proceeding occurred on Monday of last week, when an apparent seizure of certain goods was said to be made, but no inventory recorded. On Friday morning last a secondl visit was made by Mr. Carson. osten-i sibly for the purpose 0f taking certainl goods and ejecting Cosmo together with his wife and family. From the evidence. which must be admitted as very conflicting. it would seem that Cosmo resisted Carson’s effort to enter his house, and without much parley or any prolonged altercation. Cosmo picked up a stick and struck Carson over the head inflicting a somewhat serious scalp wound where- upon Carson, according to Cosmo’s evidence, retreated a few yards, picked up a piece of scantling and advanced towards Cosmo. who again struck him three more blows with the club, by which he fractured two of Mr. Carson’s ribs. At this juncture Wm. Cameron ad- vanced towards the scene with a double barreled gun, loaded, cooked and levelled on the son, Cosmo, whom he threatened. according to his own evidence, that he Would shoot him dead if he moved a. muscle or a hand, whereupon Cosmo threw down the club and went into the house. Mr. Carson’s evidence was taken in his own bedroom. where he is at present confined. and as we were not present to hear his deposition. we are unable to give more than a mere hear-say account of it. From what could be learned. however, his evi- dence agrees with that of Mr. and Mrs. Cosmo Cameron, in regard to the force of the blow which he. Car- son, says did not knock him down, though it dazed him for a time. On returning to the hall, Dr. Jam- ieson gave evidence to show that Carson has received a severe punish. 'ment. but he had no anticipation oi any serious results, though a person could never tell what might happen. The defendant gave evidence to' show that he warned Carson sufici- ently of his intention before inflict- ing the blows. Mrs. Cameron’s evidence confirmed that of her husband. It was nearly eleven o’clock when the trial was brought to a close, and the lawyers presented their plea. Mr. Clark, of Mt. Forest, jmade out what was considered a % pretty good case on the plea of justi- fication. on the ground that Cosmo‘ Cameron was the only person in possession of the disputed property, and that Carson was not author- ized to distrain the chattels specified in the document signed by Wm. Cameron. Mr. Telford acted on be. half of the Plaintiff and argued in favor of commitment for trial, which was the decision come to by Mayor Laidlaw. Bail was accepted for $1000. Now that the elections are over the people have settled down. This was one of Mr. Richardson’s strong holds. Messrs. Sid. Gilbert, E.Buchsnan, E. Hutchinson and W.

Atkinson is home from Msnitobs,where he has been residing: since last spring. Mr. Boss,of Millbank, visited his friend, Mr. J. A. Munroe, of the Registry oflice. last. week. Rev. Mr. Farr returned Saturday to resume his work at Atwood, after recovering from an attack of Typhoid fever. Mr. Edwin Allan. son of Principal Allan. left Tuesday for Ogdensburg, N.

Mr. Sharpe supplied his place here on Sun- day evening. Chief Constable Carson is confined to his bed and will likely remain there for some time before he recov- ers from the treacherous and brutal treatment administered to him while in discharge of his official duties at the residence of Cosmo Cameron, an account of whose preleminary trial appears elsewhere. Mr. Willard J. Porter, of the Bruce Type Foundry, New York. Spent. a few days in Durham since last issue, visiting his mother, Mrs, Por- ter, and other friends here. Mr. Porter started to learn his trade as a Printer in this oflice during the time of White and Johnston, and though he has been working at it ever since in the best offices in Canada and the United States, he doesn’t pretend to know it all yet. We were not only delighted but profited by his calls at our oflice. He returned to New York Tuesday.

Her father was Speedily despatched for and arrived in due time, to her bed- side, and there remained for near a week. The patient has since been able to come home, and is now im- proving. The past week has proved to be rather an eventful one, in which we have witnessed the pleasures of a? wedding and the sadness of a death. The former event took place on the 14th, inst, at the residence of Mr. Chas. Boyle’s, when his second daughter, Elizabeth. was made the wife of the man of her choice, in the person of Mr. George L. Ledingham. of Dornoch. The happy event was booked to take place at 5 o’clock p. 'vâ€"v m. on the above date. The invited guests, sixty in number, (your hum- ble cor. included), all arrived in due time. Shortly after the appointed time elapsed, Miss Wray Jackson, of Holland Centre, commenced to play the Wedding March, and Rev. Wm. Graham, of Dornoch, took his place as officiating clergyman. 'The. bride was escorted to the parlor, and given away by her brother, William, and the rest of the bridal party having V taken their places. Mr. Graham pro- ceeded lawfully to make them man and wife. The bride was ably assist- ;ed by her sister, Hannah, while the l ' groom was attended to by his brother. Mr. Arch’d Ledingham. of Paisley. 1 After the customary congratulations were over. the assembly sat down and partook of a richly prepared dinner for the occasion, and after ample justice had been done in this line, all prepared to Spend a pleasant evening, and participated in different amusements to their heart’s content till about midnight, when all diSpers- ed to their homes, wishing the happy couple a pleasant voyage on the sea of time. Two large tables were heavily laden with useful and orna- mental presents to the bride, showing the esteem in which she was held by her numerous friends. We noticed in the display a 85.00 bill, sent by a relative, also in a velvet case lay a 810 gold piece, which would make , your eyes glitter, the 'case and con- . tents given by an esteemed friend. ' Other presents were equal in value to the above sums. Altogether it ' was a pleasant affair, and the .young ' couple start 03 on life’s voyage with ' brightest prospects in view.

Already, we understand, there is a movement amongst the aspirants for county councilorships. The present mem- bers will likely seek re-election, with the exception of -Mr. Richardson, who we believe. had in any case decided to step down and out at the end of this term. Messrs. McKinnon and Brigham will be again in the field, but will likely have Opposition. the name of Mr. Reis having been mentioned as acandidate. Mr. Allan and Mr. Schenk will also be in the race. and though it is generally understood there will he opposition. we are in possession of no positive information. Mr. Watson of Proton. is sure‘ to run. and the name of John McArthur, of Priceville, as successor to Mr. Richardson, is so f1eely spok en that we may almost announce for a certainty that he will he a candi [date with first class chances {01 I success In town there is no particular ex- citement over the election, and as on previous occasions it seems that very few are anxious for a position at the council board. From the ap- parent indifierence and silence it seems that the present council has been giving satisfaction. Between this and nomination day however, there will likely be some discoveries made.
