Hen- sall at the present time presents some : very interesting features and one of 'the most peculiar situations that has ’J’et developed in the local option campaign is the result. In January last the local option ELY-18W carried, and was enforced. closing the two hotels in the village. Shortly after this an appeal was, made to squash the by-law on technical grounds. The case was heard and decision was laid over until the Midland case. One . of the same nature, was decided. In 1 A tramp printer, the sure harbin- ger of hard times, struck Walkert- n on Friday last. He was tte first tramp of the printer variety we have seen since Laurier came into power in 1896. Before that they were com mon enough. A tramp printer is ai ways associated with hard times. He would not tramp if he could get anything to do. In this respect he difl'ers from the ordinary tramp fam- ily. Then he diflers from the ordin- ary trampin that he never goes to jail. He will walk into a printing office, ask for ajob, and if there is anything lor him to do, will hang his coat on the peg and go to work. As soon as he has earned enough to take him to the next town he is satisfied. If there isn’t anything for him to do he taps the editor in the most mat- ter of-fact kind of way imaginable for a quarter. and then moves on. Of course. as the saying is one swallow doesn’t make a summer, nor does one tramp printer actually usher in hard times. still the appearance of even one of the fraternity in tramping Barb is a bad signâ€"Telescope.

A curious phase of the law regard ing certification of death has been brought out in connection with an inquest held in Osgoode. It wouid appear that any person can legally issue a death certificate, whether he is a physician or not, and that burial is authorized under such a certificate. The general impression is that a cer- tificate of death must be issued by a physician before a body can be bur- ied. This would appear to be a very safe precaution. In the case in point the woman died without medical at- tendance and was buried on the cer- tificate of her husband, who forth with left the neighborhood. Rumors were circulated that the woman did net die a natural death and that to prove it. When the body was ex- humed decomposition had set in. and it was impossible to prove anything. While there may have been nothing the meantime the party oppose! to ;local option became restive and de- Icided to try and quash the by law ianother way, and not wait for the :decision of the court of appeal Sc 3 'petition was circulated against local option and asking the council of the village to let the defense of the action go by default. thus quashing the by law. This petition was presented at the council meeting on Monday night last week and on a vote of 3 to 2 the council instructed the solicitor not to defend the action entered to quash the by-law. The temperance peeple engaged Mr. LG. Stanhury, alawyer of Exeter, to fight their case, and be has served papers on the reeve and councillors of Hensall, to the' efiect that he will take the case to Toronto, alleging that the council had not the power to quash a bylaw passed by the ratepayers.
