A MonrreaL Witness special from Coati- ceoke, Quebec, says a tornado swept over that ace from west to,east yesterday afternoon, ging very great d Rain and hail poured down in torrents for half an hour, and were accompanied by a hurricane which blew down many barns and damaged potatoe cro in surroundi country.

Tae trial of the Parker girl for perjury must be conducted as a private prosecution, the Court refusing to regard the Crown as a party to it. “There are no doubt good reasons in law and equity for throwing upon the Os- bornes the trouble and responsibility of prov- ing their complaints, and it will be interesting now te note what they propose todo. They will gratify the public very much by carryin the case through, and if they do not there wil seem to be necessity for further investigation by the law, in some other form, into the facts connected with the murder of McCarthy. The additional facts that have come to light since the trial of the Osborne’s are important enough to justify the public in expecting that further enquiry will be madein some way, whether the Osbornes choose to drop their case against Parker or carry it through. —Monctun Times.
