All the leading pdpers in Ontario and Quebec cordially endorse the anti-third party resolutions of the Montreal Prohibi- tion Conference. Matrimonial Complications. Montreal, July 6. An interesting case has just been decided by Archbishop Fabre and will probably come up for sanction before the civil courts at an early date. In 1864 one Adelaide Masse was married in Quebec to P. E. Labbe and in 1876 she again married to H. P. Labelle, of this city,the first husband be- ing supposed to be dead. The Archbishop having obtained sufficient proof that Labbe was living at the time of the second marriage, has annulled the latter, and Labelle is now a free man_ before his Church ; but his position has still to be legalized by the Court and a regular action must be instituted to obtain this.

In the House of Commons, on the other hand, there are only two M. P.’s over 89, for Mr. Gladstone will not be thatold till next year, and Mr. Bright is two years younger.
