It appears that he fell from a bridge and was stunned and drowned. it appears that he left some property in Victoria, B.

Ose who claims to know what he is talking about, says he can always tell a newly married man when travelling by watching him give his wife a drink of water on the train. If, aiter she takes a little sip of water he swallows what remains in the glass with great relish, then he’s a recent captive. If he has been married long he will pour out the water and get a fresh supply for himself.

A youre lad named Fitzpatrick visited the machine shop of Messrs. A. White & Son on Saturday. Like most lads he was of an in- quisitive turn of mind. The buzz of the ma- ebinery had a charm forhim which he could not resist and he began fingering about. One ofjthe machines “caught on” > to the lad’s hand and lifting him off his feet flung him Sto the floor, He was quickly picked up, complaining of his head and wrist. An examination revealed the fact that several of the bones of one wrist had been broken.
—__._ Havt ce Tuexe!—The N. Y. Herald speaks of the Canadians as being ‘“‘poor
enough already.” But this one thing is cer- tain, that they are not so poor as to be unable to stand up for their rights. Taking us man for man, there is far more happiness in Canada than in any other portion of the great American continent. Perhaps the most mis- erable men of the day are these poor Yankee fishermon, who want to steal the Canadian fish, but are brought up standing by a trum- pet tone from the poop of an efficient cruiser, “haul up your bob line, or down you go.” — at, —_—_~.>-—_—-
To-morrow evening the Rev. Mr. Carru- thers will deliver a lecture in St. James’ Hall on “Canada at the Colonial Exhibition, and the Federation of the Empire.” Many of us areanxious to learn the position Canada ac- tually did take at the lotion and Colonial Exhibition—the advantages or disadvantages to this Dominion of such an Exhibition ; and 4s the opportunity now presents itself, all should attend and hear what an unprejudiced eye-witness has to say about it. Not less important is the portion of the subject included wader the head of the Federation of the Em pire, now engaging the attention of some of the greatest political minds in Great Britain and Canada. This is a most interesting sub- ject, and should secure for the lecturer a large andience.

Own to put iton. He was endeavoring to do this with a stick, when by some means his coat tails were caught in a shaft which was going at about 100 revolutions a minute. In an instant the unfortunate fellow was whirl- ing around, held firmly by his coat, A beam overhead was too low to allow his feet and legs to pass under, and at each revolutien these were dashed to the beam and the floor beneath. He was in this position about three minutes when his cries were heard and the machinery stopped. His clotning had to be eut away in order to free him, and his feet were so badly smashed that the doctors con- sidered amputation necessary. Gates is about sixthen years of aly,

Prohibition in Watne.
years aud evidently likes it. A year or two ago the prohibitory law was made a part of the State constitution, and since that the machinery for enforcing its provisions have been further simplified and improved. Bradstreets recently stated that prohibition hac proved a failure in Maine, and that it is absolutely ignored in every city of the state except Portland, to which Neal Dow replies as follows: —
‘** As I have no reason to supose that Brad- street's has any inverest in the circulation of
| may be allowed to correct that which I have quoted from its columns.
Prohibition in Maine has been and is a great success, and in no sense a failure. It has driven the liquor traftic from more than three- fourths of our and has reduced its} volume to at least one twentieth of its former | proportions. In all our rurel districts and in | our Villages and small towns the grog-shop is | unknown. The trattic lingers on a small} scale, and mostly on the sly, in our cities, | and this is due only to certain defects in the law which we hope to have corrected in the | near future, when we can easily sweep the |

state clean of the liquor traffic im six months. But even in the cities where the tratlic yet be found, it is carried on upon a small scale compared with what it would be under license. I think-it safe to say that in! these places the volume of the traftic is less | than one tenth of what it would be but for prohibition. Liquor will be sold in violation of law as long as it is profitable to do so. At present the penalties of the law are such that w considerable margin of profit remains to the liquor seller after he has paid them. We have nothing to do but to increase these to such a point as to make rum-selling unprofit- able and uncomfortable to those who persist in it,
lL wish to say another thing. Bradstreet’s has repeated what has been many times said, viz.: ‘‘ Where prohibition has been tried it has proved to be a failure.” An investigation which would involve but little trouble, would show that the exact contrary of that state- ment is true. There is no place in this conti- nent nor in the United Kingdom where prohi- bition is or has been a failure, and there are thousands of such places. In every one of them the liquor traffic has been diminished in volume, in a great many of them it has been extinguished’
There are some places within an hour’s ride from New York where the traffic has been suppressed entirely. There are places in Pennsylvania of which the same thing may be said. In Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Iowa, Kansas; in Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, there are large districts of country where the liquor traffic has been nearly or quite extinguished. In England and Ireland there are a great many districts of which the same thing may be said.

A lonely farming community in Lawrence County, Kentucky, was a few days ago the scene of a terrible tragedy. Samuel Smith, aged 16, who had had some difficulty with a neighbor, Stephen Hammond, armed himself with a revolver, went over to Ham- mond’s and followed him into the house. Hammond reached for his rifle but Smith fired and kiJled him. Hammond's wife ard children, a boy and girl, attacked the mur- derer, but he soon fatally wounded Mrs. Hammond and shot the children. He fled to the mountains and has not yet been cap-
tured.

That gentleman is represented in The Drovers’ Journal of March 2nd, as saying: “‘As soon as the Trust Company entered my field as a lard producer, I resolved to make myself independent of them in the matter of cotton oil, and this could only be accomplished by erecting oil mills at available points south.” From this our readers are warranted in conclud- ing that cotton seed oil enters largely into the production of American lard, and that when Canadians buy what they believe to be pure American lard, and pay a high
