Scorr Act 1s Monecron.—The Moncton Times says that before his sermon in the Bap- tist church on Sunday morning, Rev. Mr. Hinson made a tew remarks in a general way. After consideration, he said, he had come to the conclusion that there were certain things which a preacher of the gospel should not do. He should not peddle books, or canvass for life insurance; in fact, he should find his prin- cipal work in the pulpit, and in coming to this conclusion he had also come to the con- clusion that it was not his duty to take any further active part in the ‘enforcement of the legal machinery of the Scott Act.

Jcmprep From THE Tratn.—Says the St. John Telegraph of yesterday: As the Halifax express appruached Coldbrook station last evening, a passenger named Wm. Goodrich, thinking that the train had got into St. John, jumped off. Fortunately the speed was not great, but as it was the force of his fall was sufficient to injure him badly. He received a severe shaking up, one of his arms was broken and his back somewhat injured. He was picked up, carried to the station building, and the train came on to St. John, after which a coach was sent to Coldbrook and the man brought to the general public hospital.

Anotuer ELorpeMeNtT.—Frank Powell, of New York, a widower of wealth and educa- tion, imported a handsome English governess some time ago to educate his children. She fell in love with him and he fell in love with her, but refused te marry her. She then fell in love with a young man whom she met dur- ing her voyage to America. In her sleep she aaid she would poison Powell and run away with this young man. Powell heard of this, be- came frightened, and lett her for three days. In the meantime she eloped with the young
man and $1,000 of Mr. Powell’s money. De- tectives are looking for her. aniiapenens Footaxa tae Youne May.—The British '

Her grateful father, in a Voice tremulous with emotion, said: ‘ Noble youth, to youl am indebted for everything that makes life dear to me. Which reward will you take, £50,000 or the hand of my danghter*” ‘I'll take the daughter,’ replied the hero, thinking thereby to get both the girl and the money. ‘Now you have well chosen,’ replied the grateful father : ‘J could not have given you the £50,000 just now any- how, as | have not yet laid up that amount, being only an editor, but my daughter is yours for life.

The resalt is an issue strong and novel. The originality of its pages is, perhaps, most striking in the short stories (the seria! stories all ended in the November number)—as in ‘* The Christmas Story of a Little Church,” by Grace King, ‘* Sosrus Dismal,” by W. W. Archer, and “The Front Yard,” by Miss W ovlson—this last being a daring comparison of Italian and New England natures and ways. In poetry, too, the number 1s excep- tionally good.

LONDON, Nov. 20. The Parnell Commission resumed its sitting to-day.
Attorney-General Webster, counsel for the Times, complained of the difficulty ex- perienced in bringing forward witnesses from the County Kerry. He called atten- tion to an article in the Kerry Sentinel, (Edward Harrington's paper) which stated that the Judges composing the Parnell Commission were showing signs of measles now, although at the opening of the inquiry they had appeared to be spotless. The Judges were the creatures of a conspiracy entered into by the Government and the Times, and were manifestly unable to veil their prejudices, The Attorney- General appealed to the Court to take action in the matter as such publications tended to defeat justice and amounted to the grossest contempt.
Mr. Reid, on behalf of Mr. Harrington, complained that no notice of a charge of this character had been given them, and it was absolutely impossible to make an answer at present. He asked that the matter be adjourned until to-morrow.
Presiding Justice Hannen and Attorney-General both agreed to this.
Other witnesses from Kerry were ex- amined, all of whom attributed the out- rages in that county to the instigation of the League.
A laborer named Williams testified that he had been fired at bya captain of the moonlighters, and said a placard had been posted up in various places offering $500 to anyone who would shoot him and his em- ployer, who had taken an evicted farm. On cross-examination, the witnesses suc- ceeded in connecting the League with the outrages they referred to.
Sir Charles Russell then read an article from the Kerry Sentinel denouncing out- rages.
Lydia Curtin described the boycotting of her family and the murder of her father.
The counsel for the Parnellites read a circular issued by the League denouncing the treatment of the Curtins.
Reid, in the absence of Russell, appealed to the opposing counsel to bulk the out- rages to which they wished to refer, and cease giving such evidence in detail. The inquiry threatened to last long enough to ruin everybody if the present methods were continued.
Sir Henry James declared that the Times was equally rnxious to limit the time and expenditure.

John Dillon contimued the debate.
Lord George Hamilton, Conservative, assailed the Parnellites as oppusing the bill because they were conscious it would en- lable the people to forsake the League yoke.
