The Oullaw'i Story 0! Ilia Flightâ€"Extru- ordinnry Courage and Endurance Hasn‘t-sled. The man who shot and killed Constable Warnith at Caledonia. PAL. in April last. Henry English, was Iandud in Ridgewny jail. Pal, M5 o’clock last Thursday night. He came in charge of Detective J.‘ R. Thomas. 1'th arrested him at Cheboygan. Mich“ on July 10. The facts regarding his capture have already been stated. English, in an inter- view. details his wanderings since his escape from Caledonia. The narrative is quite in- fieresting, and is as follows : “ When I ran from Rummer’s back kitchen door down the hill and across the creek, amid what seemed to be a shower of bullets, I was hit in seven difierent places. I saw Dr. Hart- mann after the shooting was over, as he drove home on the other side of the creek, and my first impulse was to appeal to his humanity and to beg him to cut out the bullets and to dress my wounds. I thought it would be ungenerous in me, however, to implicate him in the un- happy afl'air, so I crawled ofl’ into the hills, where I lay for nearly a week more dead than alive. I several times heard the shouts of the men who were seeking me, but saw no- body. Realizmg at last that I must starve or take a desperate chance, I went into St. Mary‘s one dark night just as a train arrived and brought some crackers and sausage at one of the railway restaurants. I was not recognized. and lay quietly in a sheltered place for a week longer. When only partially restored to health I began to work my way on foot toward Dunkirk. Yes, it is possible that I was seen on that road, as reported. I must have been seen if it was in the papers, be cause I told nobody. Indeed, I did not meet any strangers. At the first station this side of Dunkirk [got aboard a train on the Lake Shore Road and went to Buffalo. From there I passed into Canada and then on to Detroit. After two days delay I went to Cheboygan, in the northern part of Michigan. I was cap- tured on the street. not in a saloon. as re ported." English bears his capture with an air of resignation and without bravado. He has the appearance of a brave man. who has done all he could. Detective Thomas ex- presses great admiration for his mental and. physical abilities. and says that not one man, in a thousand could have gone through what English has with his seven wounds. English says he killed Warnith in selfdefense ; that he had received information that the officers were instructed to kill him on sight, and he determined to sell his life dearly. When he went up stairs that night he seized his gun and fired in the dark, not knowing whom he hit or whether he hit anyone, and when he ran across the field all that kept him up was the belief that if he gave out he would be killeddn cold blood. English was taken to 'jail here handcuffed, his arms fastened to- gether to his body at the elbows and his legs chained together, so he could not step more than six inchee.â€"â€"New York Herald. --The Rev. J. W. Hamilton. of Boston, would not take the D. D. degree from Brown University. In his letter to the faculty, he said: “I once knew a minister who was most unfortunate in his personal appearanceâ€" small in stature, near sighted, beardless 11nd boyish beyond reclaim. He once ofi'ered the conductor on a. railway train his half-fare ministerial ticket, when he actually said to him, after looking him well over, ‘Are you under 12 years of age ?’ His Presiding Elder said to him, ‘My dear brother, you look 1 so little like a minister , instead of that cap you must get a decenthat. ’ ‘I’ 11 do it. Doctor’ said he. ‘and if the dignity lies 1n the hat, I‘ll get a big one.’ He sent away to Philadelphia and had it made to order. But oh ; what a hat ! It was as big as this new degree, The very remembrance of his dodging about under it pictures to my mind the figgure I should cut in wearing about th1s town a D. D. It isnt fitting my social position. I am nothing but a city missionary. I can 'tdo it. my brethren; it is out of the question. If ever I get big enough.

Qumcm Pnesmwns.â€"Pare and core the quinces, and cut into halves or quarters as suits the size of your jars. Let them stand over night in enough cold " water to cover them. In the morning put themin the kettle with the same water" and let them cnok- gently till you can just stick a fork in them. Take the fruit out with a skimmer, weigh it, and to each pound of fruit allow a pound of sugar. Put the fruit and sugar into the kettle, with enough of the water to make a good syrup. and let them boil gently until they are clear. Take out carefully with the skimmer and put in the jars; fill the jars to the top with the syrup. If there is a large quantity of fruit, and the kettle is not large, it is best to put the fruit in the syrup 8. little at a time. GREENGAGE MABMALADE. ‘â€" When the plums are thoroughly ripe, take off the skins ; weigh. and boil them quickly, Without sugar, for 50 minutes. keeping them well stirred ; then to every four pounds add 3 pounds of good sugar reduced quite to powder ; boil the preserve from 5 to 8 minutes longer, and clear off the scum perfectly before it is poured to be put into the jars. Then the flesh of the fruit will not separate easily from the stones. weigh and throw the plums whole into the preserving-pan. boil them to a. pulp, pass through a sieve, and deduct the weight of the stones from them when appor- tioning the sugar to the jam. The Orleans plums may be substituted for greengages in this receipt. Greengages stoned and skinned, RICHMOND HILL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1880, QUINCE Jennâ€"Take the cores and par ings of the quinces, put them in enough cold water to cover them, and boil them until they are soft. Squeeze them, and add the juice to the water, and any syrup that may be left from the quince preserve, and strain it. To each pint of juice allow a. pound of sugar. Spread the sugar in pans, and put in the oven to heat ; it must be watched and stirred to prevent burning. Let the juice boil to! five minutes, them pour in hot sugar, stirring it until it is entirely dissolved, and skimming any skum that may rise : there may be very little. Let it come to a. boi th 11 take from the fire and put in jars or glasses. The jelly will be clear of a. good color. and keep well. All kinds of jellies can be made in this way. and it saves much labor in the time of boiling the juice and the trouble of skimming. Gasxsnms or Burnâ€"Out some beef fillet in slices half an inch thick. trim them all to the same size in the shape of cutlets, and lard them finely.and thickly with fat bacon. Lay them. lardel side uppermoat. into a baking dish, and add as much rich stock and gravy as will come no to, but not cover thelarding. Cover‘ the dish and put it in the oven to cook gentle for half an hour. Then take off the cover, baste the grenadine with the gravy and let them remain uncov- ered in the oven for the larding to brown. Take equal quantities of carrots and potatoes out into the shape of small olives and boil them so that they remain whole. Make a roux erasure of butter and flour in a sancspan, add as much of the grenadin gravy as will make a nice snuce Stir well. put in the vegetables, and when very hot, arrange the grenadine around a. dish with the vegetables and sauce in the centre. Another delicious arrange- ment of the grenadins is to fill the centre with maccarom' au jus instead of the vegeta bles. The maccaroni may be prepared as above with the grenadin gravy. 6 peunds, 50 minutes. Sugar, 4;- pounds, 8 minutes. The Sermon of a Colored Mm: Io Colored Listeners. The Rev. T. McCanta Stewart, of the Sulli- van street African Methodist Episcopal Church. New York, preaclnd last Sunday to a large congregation on the “Lessons to be Drawn from the Life and Death of Chasline Cox.” A stranger visiting the church might have supposed it was in mourning for the murderer,as the pulpit was draped m mourn- ing and a broad pall in front of the choir bore in white letters the inscription. “He is not dead, but sleepeth.” These insignia of woe wereuhowever. to commemorate the death of an ex-pastor of the church. the Rev. James Morrson Williams. Mr. Stewart's text was, "My son, if'sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” He began by drawing a vivitJ picture of the perilous coast of Scotland, which, at a certain point and at a certain bright of the waters, is ~a dangerous point to traverse, and it was only by knowing the right time and place that one could walk along the beach in safety and escape being dashed upon the rocks by the angry hil- lows. He described one occasion when a travellerpassing along that coast, heeded not the warning that was shouted to him, walked recklessly by the dangerous point, and speed ily met a watery grave. Then, he said, it is the duty of those Whé see the dangers in life to sound the alarm "and warn the unwary travellers of their peril, who. if they heed not the warning, Will be overwhelmed in destruc- tion. Taking Cox as a. warning, then, he said that his interest in the slayerâ€"he could not call him a murdererâ€"arose from his belief that Cox was not an intentional murderer. The pastor’s interest increased when he heard that the Governor had refused to even hear a peti- tion in. his behalf. He thought that Cox ought to have been punished. but did not de- serve death. The cause of justice demanded commutation. and the cause of humanity cried aloud for at least a hearing by the Governor. He would not insult the court by saying that the trial was not fair, but he had been im- pressed by Cox’s version of the sfiair, and it should be remembered that Cox was himself the only witness on whose testimony he could have been condemned. Cox told how he passed the open window and was suddenly seized with temptation. He entered and did the dreadful deed, but it must beremombeied that he not only left Mrs. Hull alive, but that he did everything he could to restore her to consciousness when he found she had fainted. As to that premeditation that is essential to make a murderer. Cox did not have it, and was at least entitled to be heard in his plea for mercy. In this connection the pastor Said he would not speak in the pulpit as he would in a public meeting, but he read as an indica tion of his sentiments an indignant letter written by the committee who called upon the Governor and were refused admission to his presence. The letter spoke of the Governor‘s ~‘ discourteous refusal'to receive a committee of a large meeting of American citizens.” The committee was .. astounded at such treatment from a human being, particularly from a pro- fessed Republican, one who claims to repre. sent an advanced civilization.” Nevertheless, as Cox was hanged. and he had seen him hanged, he thought he could spend an hour profitably in holding up the dead ciiminal before the young people as a terrible warning. As an illustration of how the pure and good. are comtaminated by contact with the bad, he told a story of a good parrot that sang hymns that was put in company w1th a bad parrot that sang oaths, in the hope that the swearing parrot would be cured. But unfortunately the hymn-singing parrot stopped singing hymns, and took to swearing. He deduced from this story the thought that it is perilous to mix the good with the evil in this world. This was the first lesson that he drew from the life of ch; that held company is corrupting, dangerous and fatal. “Evil communications corrupt good manners.” says the Bible, and everyday life proves that to be true. Chastine Cox came from the South with correct moral ideas, but mixed with evil associations and was corrupted. The young cannot afford to associate with the bad. The second lesson that the pastor drew from the lite of Cox was that bad women led men to death and hell. He did not mean to overlook the bad men in the world, but the fate of Cox led him to speak at this time particularly of the dangers from immoral women. As the subject was a delicate one, he preferred to read some very plain passages from the Book of Proverbs, which he read with b1ief comments. The third warning from the life of Cox that the pastor suggested was that living beyond one’s means leads to embarrassment and disgrace. He spoke of the foolish young men whose passion for dissipation leads them to theft and even worse crimes. ' â€"The Columbus Fact tells us how on Driesbach’s menagerie entering Newark, 0., the elephant’s keeper fell in a pit, when the elephant wouldn’t allow any one to approach him. but at first taking him up tenderly with his trunk tried to put him on his tusks, buz finding he was insensible put him gently down again, and showed great distress. At length the man revived enough to speak to the animal, and to tell him to let people Lpprnach. â€"Goethe says a man must be either an un- vil or a hammer: yet. how muny are nothing but bellows.

With the use of manure or artificial fertilizers an oat. stubble may be made to produce a. crop of 600 to 800 bu~hels per acre. These roots make excellent feed for all kinds of smock, and will keep in good condition until J enuary. SWINE.â€"By proper management two litters of pigs may be obtained from the same sow in a year. and with considerable prufit. It is frequently an advantage to have pigs come in August, as they can then be ready as small pork for the holldays. Above all, keep the pens neat and clean. Cows will need some fresh fodder when the pastures become short and dry. Fodder corn is excellent for this. keepmg up the flow of milk through the season. An abundance of cool, fresh water ought to be within the reach of the cows. and also shade from the hot sun of the summer noon-day. EARLY SOWING is best except where there is danger lrom the Heesian flv, when the late sowing is preferable, but owing to the poor growth made in autumn only an average crop may be expected from sovting late to escape the flyâ€"it is a. choice between two ewls, the lesser of which -is sowing the seed late. MUCK.â€"â€"This valuable material for the barnâ€"yard stable, and compost heap, can be dug with the greatest ease and profit at this season. It maybe drawn out into a heap near by, with a. team and a. dump scraper, where it can get dried out. and » after- wards be drawn to_the place where it is to be used. POULTRY.â€"The value of pure bloods is now well established. This month is a good t.me to clear out the old mixed fowls and procure a. few specimens of one of the beat sorts ; both the pleasure and profit of poultry raising will be increased by raismg some one or more of the select breed. SHEERâ€"The coupling season begins soon, and a good ram only should be used. If pos- sible, secure a pure bloodâ€"a poor ram is poor economy. The lambs should be separatcd from the dams and given a. good pasture by themselves. If early lambs are desired for the swing market, a. Southdown cross is pref- erable for quality, though in size the Cots- wolds are much larger than the Southdowns. SWAMP LANDs.â€"'L‘hls month and the next are the best for cleaning up the wet, low lands. The thick growth of grass and weeds is first to be cut and burned, when the soil w1ll be ready to break up with a. plow. So soon as the soil has been made fine by thorâ€" ough harrowing, it should be sown to grass seed. Frrqueunly It will be. necessary to run one or mow. RYE is not so valuable a. crop as wheat; but it. has the advantage over wheat of doing well on a poorer soil. It. should be borne in mind that. a soil that is rich enough to grow agood crop of me can by a. dresrinq of 250 01 300 pounds 01 fertihzm, be made to pro duce a much more ploutable crop of wheat. If the me )5 grown for the straw, in specxal cases the I’VE! crop may be more valuable than wheat; but as a grain crop the wheat takes the front rank. Bonusâ€"Pasture alone will not be enough for horses at night that we kept at work thmugh the day. A run in the pasture W1l1 be bcusflclal, but a feed of grain should be given before being tumed out. Work horses plowing on hot. dry ground are subject to brittle hoofs; this may be remedied by keep‘ ing the hoofs sofa by an occasional appllcatiun of gbcerine. The shoes should not be kept on too long. otherwise the hoof growth will not be natural. BRAINS before the soil is prepared for the seeding. During dry weather drains can be dug at much less expense than when the soil is full of water. In making a dram, it must be remembered that its value largely depends u-pon the thoroughness with which the work i: done. A drain to be a paying investment must. be a permanent improvement. It is better to make a single drain that will last lhan a larger number, with the same money, that are imperfect, and will be constant sources of tiouble. SowaG WEEKLâ€"When wheat follows oats. the oat stubble should be plowed as soon as the crop is removed from the field, otherwise 111a dry wealher, that so fr: quently comes in early autumn.will makethe soil dry and hard. and it then can only be worked with difficul- ty. Wheat. requires a fine, mellow soil, and if any clods remain in after the first harrow- ing, the work of pulverizing the soil should be continued until all clods are reduced to a. fine state. The roller and the Disk-barrow are both excellent implements in bringing the soil into a. proper condition. DRILLING is by far the best method of sowing ; it secures uniformity in depth. and saves seed by putting all the grains in a. p10â€" per. plece for growth. Five or six peeks of grain is sufficient seed per acre when the (hill is used. Of lute some farmers are testing the value of cultivating wheat, and their results are almost uniformly in favor of the practice. In sowing, the alternate spouts of the grain drill are closed, and the seed sown in rows about 16 inches apart. It is not difficult to construct a cultivator that will work between these rows by means of which the soil maybe kept loose and free from weeds. We wish to receive full reports from those who have been cultivating their wheat the past year. â€"Swinburne is a warm Manner of Brown- ing; Browning a qualified admirer of Swin- burne. The ilder poet; once met the younger at; a railway station, and shook his umbrella at him, exclaiming: “Ah, you foolish boy. why will you so degrade such splendid talent ?” This is but a modified version of Browning’s actual words, which were rather too strong for print. One day Swinburne called on FARM AND GARDEN- Browning, who received him courteously, and bade him be seated â€"much marvelling the while why he carried with him a small foot. stool. The mystery was soon cleared up, for Swinburne laid the footstool at Browning’s feet and sat himself thereupon. He could not arrogate equality with a master of the divine art; his sole ambition was to sit at his feet. Brownmg was profoundly bored, and in mor- tal fear that somebody m'ght call and become a spectator of the interview. He knew his Visitor well enough to understand that the latter Would not budge for any intruder. It speaks volumes for Browning’s urbanitv that he conversed patiently and composedly with the erratic one for the space of an hour ; then â€"-ior humanity is frail, and some men will not take a hintâ€"his nerves gave way “And now," said the host, “you must forgive me, for I have an appointment, and must go.” Swinburne took up his stool and preceded Browning down stairs. In the hall he ob- served that he had a special favor to ask. Browning assured him he would do anything in his power to be of service to him. Swin burne replied : “It is that you would allow me to sit at your feet for yet another five minutes.” The tone was one of imperturb- able gravity. Browning assented, and the pair walked up stairs again. Swinburne re- placed his footstool, and sat out the full five minutes. A Dunkirk, N. IL, Presbyterian lllinlnter Who Doesn't Relieve in Eternal Pun- ishment Called to Accountâ€"lie "lust Recruit or Get Out of the Churchâ€"A Trial to Enuur. ' Burmno, N. Y., July 21.â€"Presbyterian circles in Western New York are greatly agitated at present over certain developments at Dunkirk. For some time past it has openly been charged that the Rev. James Adams, pastor of the Presbyterian Chunk in that city, had been preaching in opposition to teachings of the Presbytery in regard to eternal punishment. In several sermons he held very broad views, approaching close to Universalism. He claimed,in the words of Bob Ingersoll. that “there was no such place as Hell," and he did not hesitate to denounce the bigoted ideas of the Old School. He is said to be a very eloquent man, and greatly beloved by all his congregation, which is a large and wealthy one. It seems, however, that there were some of his parishoners who looked upon his teaching as heretical. and they began to create trouble. They reported the matter to the Presbytery of this district. and action was at once taken. As eternal punishment is one of the fundamental prin‘ ciplea of Presbyterianism. it can readily be seen that the position which Mr. Adams has assumed is an exceedingly prominent one.and he has been soundly attacked by the minis ters. The Presbytery met in this city a few days ago. quietly, for the purpose of conferring with the accused minister. A number of the sermons were produced and those portions which were con- sidered objectionable were pointed out to him, with questions as to whether they were his views. The reverend gentleman replied that they were. The necessity of his Withdrawal from the church it such was his belief was then set forth. He was given time to care- fully conslder his position and retreat if he became convinced that he erred. A cem‘ mittee of his colaborers were appointed to‘ talk over the matter with him and receive his answer The matter did not become public until the Committee went to Dunkirk and‘ held conferences with the pastor on the grow- ing state cf affairs. A large meeting of Mr. Adams’ congregation was held at Dunkirk on Saturday, and resolutions were adopted de- nouncing the action of the Presbytery in re questing their pastor to resign, and further that they believed that he was striving to preach the truth, and they did not propose to let him go. The meeting was exceedingly interesting. Warm speeches were made both for and againit the pastor. Mr. Adams. however, had by far the largest number of sympathizers, and the resolutions prevailed. The Committee returned, and to day a meet ing of the Presbytery was held in this city. There was a large attendance of minisâ€" ‘ ters. the Rev. Mr. Adams being among the number. The Committee submitted a report saying that Mr. Adams refused to retract his teachings, and still held to the same ideas ‘ Formal charges for his dismissal for heresy 3 were then drawn up and adopted by the ‘ meeting. and the trial was set down for the . second day of August in the Central Church, with open doors. It is rumored that Mr. Adams will make a great efi'ort to prove the correctness of his views, and show the weak- ness of the Presbytery rules on the subject. The act of putting a lead pencil to the tongue. to wet it, just before writing, which we notice in so many people, is one of the oddities of hahit for whlch n. is hard to give any reasonâ€"unless it beganiu the days when lead pencils were poorer than now, and was continued by example into the next genera.- tion : A lead pencil should never be wet. It hardens the lead and ruins the pencil. This fact is known to newspaper men and stenc- graphers. But nearly every one else does wet a pencil before using it. This fact was definitely settled by a. newspaper clerk away down east. Being of a mathematical turn of mind. he ascertamed, by actual count. that of fifty per- sons who came int-o the office to write an ad- vertisement or church notice, forty-nine wet a pencil in their month before using it. Now this clerk always uses the best pencils that can be procuredâ€"in fact, is a connoisseur in lead pencils, cherishing a good one with something of the pride a soldier feels in his gun or sword; and it hurts his feelings to have his pencil spoiled. But politeness and business conslderations require him to lend his pencil scores of times every day. And often after it has been wet till it was hard and brittle and refused to mark, his feelings would overpower him. Finally he got some cheap pencils and sharpened them. and kept them to lend. The first person who took up the stock pencil was a drayman, whose breath smelt of onions and whiskey. He held the point in his mouth and soaked it for several minutes, while he was tmturing himself in the effort to write an ad- vextisement for a. missing bulldog. WHOLE NO. 1,153.»â€"NO, 10. Then a sweet looking young lady came into the office. with Lid gloves that buttoned half the length of her arm. She picked the same old pencil and pressed it to her dainty lips preparatory to writing an advertisement for a lost bracelet. The clerk would have stayed her hand, even at the risk of a. box of the best pencils ever Faber catered, but he was too late. â€"-Centuries ago some one left a London parish property yielding $1.25 a. year' for an unnual “love feast," at which persons at vari~ ones should meet and be reconciled. This gradually expanded into $300 a. year, which for a. long time past has been devoured by the "parochial” authorities holding the bequest in trust in dinners at Richmond. And thus that pencil passed from mouth to mouth for a week. It was sucked by people of all ranks and stations. and all degrees of cleanness and uncleanness. But we forbear. Surely no one who reads the will ever again wet a. lead pencil. be!) THE 1‘ LERK AND Ills PENCIL ADAMS’ HERESY Mr. S. Tounshend Mayer, an anonymous wrmer of the pmodical press of England, and formerly editor and proprietor of the St. Jamu’ Magazine, is dead, afcer a. lung ill- uels. 1he first edition of the revised translation of the NM Testament is to appear in the autumn. Mr. Lawrence Oliphant, a writer of con- siderable note, who will be remembered as the private secretary of Lord Elgin, both in Canada and China, and who published a volume on their sojourn in the land of the Celestials, is writing “The Land of Gilead," a book which will give an account of his travels and discoveries in Eastern Palestine.

One of the most interesting contributions to literature, of late, is Mr. N. M. Ludlow's “Dramatic Life as I Found It.” There is nothing more readable than recollectionsof dramatic life, and we have had nothing so good until now, as 'the English Manager Bunn’s Recollections. Mr. Ludlow goes back to 1815, and mentions all the actors since that time, who have been prominent in America. The author is the oldest living actor, and is now in his eighty~sixth year. He mentions an incident of an actress who lost her way in the woodswhile her party were travelling from Albany to Pittsburg. The wolves came after her, but she climbed a tree and sat there all night. the wolves watch- ing for her at the bottom. She was relieved next morning, half dead with fear. This was sixty five years ago. At Pittsburg the party remained. and opened .their season. The “Honeymoon" was the piece chosen for representation, and among the performers was Mrs. Riddle, the mater- nal grandmother of Miss Kate Field. A comic opera. called the “Quaker,” was pre- sented by this company, Whose orchestra consisted of one violin. played behind the scenes by Sam Drake, the manager’s sen. Young Drake also had a solo to sing. and one night he was leaning up against the mug with his violin in his hand ready to rush on, when the scene shifter mistook his signal and ran the wing out on the stage, pitching the actor into the middle of the stage. An actor in the company, who was very fond of playing Rolls. in “Pizarro,” induced Mr. Drake to put on that heavy piece. which requires a great deal of scenery and a chorus of Virgins of the Sun. Virgins were scarce in Pittsburg at that time. Two pair were made up from the ladies of the company. while the third pair consisted of an old Irish woman who cleaned ‘the dressing room. and the property man, when in spotless white. When this pair ap‘3 peared a man in the audienceshouted out, “ 0h l such virains! ” The house shook ‘ withAlaughter, in which the actors joined. Mr. Swinburne loses no time; when he is not writing poetry he contributes to the mega- zine. or throws ofl an essay. His latest was a critique on the writings of Shakespeare, and now he is getting an article on Vietor Hugo’s new poem. ' Canon Dixon‘s second volume of “The Hia- tory of the Church of England from the Aboliciun of the Roman Jurisdiction,” is in the pres=. 1!. contains the first syttematic account which has yet appeared of .the sup- pression of the English monas‘ries. and the negotiations of Henry with the Protest- ants. “ Needless Misery ;.or Birmingham and Canada Revisited,” is the strange title of a. bOUk of travels by Mr. A. J. Dufl‘ield. Edwin Forrest made nus first appearance as a. real actor under the managemrm of Mr. Ludlow ; and Miss Riddle. afterwards Mrs. Field, made her debut under Mr. Ludlow, as Mary in “The Turnpike Sale.” The receipts at the theatres even in 1843 were small. Mrs Brougham played Lady Teazle to a $77.25 house in St. Louis, and when the Seauins pelformed opera the receipts were only $159. 50. At. Mobxle, Macready drew $138 as Richelieu. The great Booth, father of Edwin. was in his glmy‘then. Mr. Ludlow first. saw him as Richard III, 7 He'says : " I think they had reached the fourth act of the play, ” says Mr. Ludlow, "ahd I was sauntering near the head of the stairs that led up to the stage when a small man, that I took [0 tea well-grown boy of sixteen years of age. came running up the stairs, wearing a roundabout jacket and a cheap straw hat, both covered with dust, and inquired for the stage manager. I pointed aeross the stage to Mr. Russell, who at that moment had obser- ved the person Wllh whom I was conversing, and hurried toward us, and cordially grasping the hand of the stranger, said, “Ah Mr. Booth I I am glad you have arrived. I was fearlul something serious had happened to you.” 1 do not think any man was ever more astonished than I was just then in beholding this meeting. It is impossible that this can be the the great Mr. Booth that Mr. Russell says is undoubtedly the best living actor ? And I began to think Russell was putting off some joke on us all. 1 observed, however, that when the small man came upon the stage to rehearse his scenes he was quite at home, and showed a knowledge of the business of the character that a mere novice or pretender could not have acquired. He ran through the rehearsal very carelessly, gave very few special or peculiar dlrections, tried the combat in the last act over twice and said “that will do.”and the rehearsal was over. He then told Mr. Russell that he had been a few minutes too late for the stage coach that left Richmond early that morning, and that he soon after started on foot and had walked all the way. twenty-five miles. (Caledonia. Sachem.) Page & Co. have been for some years en- gaged in preparing county atlases. They published an atlas for the county of Haldi- mend. After its delivery some of the sub- scribers refused to pay for it on the ground that it was incorrect. and not such a book as was promised. They were sued fr r the amount, $12 each, before Judge Stevenson, and had to pay. Another map of Norfolk was prepared on a similar plan. and among the subscribers was his Honor Judge Me- Mahon. who refused to pay because the book was said to be inaccurate and did not meet the promises in the prospectus. The case came before the County Judge of Oxford, who gave a verdict for the defendant. There was another case just similar came up for trial at Simcoe, J. J. Park being the gentleman sued. It was tried before a Jury. which ren- dered a verdict for the plaintiffs. Thus there were three cases all similar; in one Judge Stevenson decided on behalf of the plain- ltifis; in the second, tried before the County ‘ Judge of Oxford, the decision was in favor of the defendant; and the third, tried before a jury in Simcoe, the verdict was for the plain- tifi's. Such are the uncertainties of the law. The judge when he was sued got clear of pay- ment. but the other two, laymen, were com- pelled to pay, though all the cases were ex- actly alike, and involved precisely the same pleas and the same principles. â€"Liars who can’t thing of anything else just now are claiming to have fasted forty days and longer without any bad effects.
