OTTAWA, Feb. 19.â€"in this House oi Com- mons today, before the regular business had commenced, Mr. Cameron, of Huron, called attention to the double return for King‘s County, Prince Edward Island. He said that both members had been sworn in, and both had taken their seats, although only one was entitled to sit and vote. He moved that the {Clerk of the Crown in Chancery he directed to attend to-mcrrcw with reports of the Deputy Returning- Qfliners and other documents 1: ating to that election.

The third volume of the census report isuhownin ’3th hazndst the Among the Bills introduced were one by Mr. Beety to incorporate the Central Bank of Canada, and one by Mr. Williams to provide that permanent building societies may invest in debentures of other corpora- tions as well as of municipalities. In reply to Mr. Bourbeau, 'SirLeonard Tilley stated that changes in the Inland Revenue laws regarding Canadian tobacco in leaf would be announced when the Budget was brought down. On the question relating to the ease of the woman Julie Boievert, convicted of the murder of a child in Mon- treal, being put, Sir John Maodonald stated that the Government had ordered an investigation, and that a report had been made, which was now under consideration. 0"“ r"‘*r*** Mr. Burpee will moveâ€"(1) For a. return of all claims presented for drawbacks on materials used for shipbuilding for the year ending June 30th, 1882, also for the six months ending December Blst, 1882, with all particular ; (2) For a, statement of the revenue and working ex enses of the Inter- oolonial Railway accrue for six months of each year ending December 3lst, 1880, 1881, 1882, under the several divisions similar to the annual statements ” B " (I, 0.

P. R. Commission ; papers relating to the frauds against Customs by evasion of the clause with respect to grinding in bond; papers relating to the suspension of the Imperial Extradition Act within Canada. The subject of the proposed new loan came up on Sir Leonard Tilley’s motion to go into Committee; In Committee Sir Leonard Tilley explained that the loan was made in 1860 of £6,446,637 to consolidate a pertion of the debt existing. This was a five per cent. loan, and was payable at will 01 Government in twenty-five years. The term would expire on let January, 1885, and the Government desired authority to issue four per cent. debentures for the balance not covered by the Sinking Fund accumulated, which amounted, to £1,381,- 825 sterling, leaving ga net balance of £5,065,310. Canadian securities are now so much sought for that he thought many holders would be willing to reinvest even at 1 per cent. less, and the London agents had under- taken to exchange five per cents. for tours at half per cent. commission on the exchanges made up to the time of the expiry of the loan. As this operation would take some time, he thought it desirable to get out new debentures as soon as possible, and what could not be exchanged could be put on the market so as to take up the loan when it came due. The amount to be issued was £6,446,000. He,held out the hope that it might be possible to issue it at even a lower rate than 4 per cent. In reply to Mr. Blake, Sir Leonard Tilley said that the exchange'yould not be efiected by private arrangement With the holders of the present debentures, but by advertise- ment and tender. Mr. Blake inquired whether Sir Leonard Tilley had con- sidered the question of reducing the sink ing fund as suggested by b'ir Richard Cart- wright in former sessions. He (Mr. Blake) presumed that the bonds in which the sinking fund had been invested had been bought at a premium. This Sir Leonard Tilley admitted to be a fact,and Mr. Blake went on to point out that in that case the smaller the sinking fund was the better. He asked also whether the subject of issu- ing console had been considered by the Finance Minister. Sir Leonard Tilley answered that provision was made for an issue of that kind should it be deemed advisable by the,_Government. The reso- lution passed, and a Bill based upon it introduced and read a first time. _ . Sir John'] Macéonald, speaking on the same subject, said men of Wealth and position had undertaken the enterprise of building the railways to Hudson Bay. Unofficial correspondence was now going on between Sir Alexander Galtw and the British Admiralty, with a. View to Securing the co-operation of the Imperial Govern- ment in making a. survey of the bay, with gogc} pfpepecte of success. I1\ 114.. A .A.‘,,,,,, Mr. Boys}, member for Provenaher, in a speech of some lengbh dwelt upon the saving of distance to Europe by way of Hudson Bay, and .in a. prophetic flight anticipated the time when Canada. would have other Maritime Provinces with their gone on the vest Bee. of the north. He oped soon to see the time when immigrants would come by this route, saving time and money to themselves and making it certain that: they would come to Canada", which was not the case when they came through the States, many being induced to remain in that cogntry; _ . .q ,,I,:,,A h. 4L, In moving for information relating- to the navigation of Hudson Bay, Mr. Dawson spoke at some length, pOinting out that this great inland sea was now a centre of great interest, for railways to it were pro- jected which it was hoped would afford eheaper and quicker communication with Europe than any other route. He pointed out that for many years fishing vessels had gone into the Bay when the Straits ware open, prosecuting the seal and pod fishery during the season when the Straits were closed, and returning south when the break-up occurred. ‘This showed that it was in the Straits and not in the Bay itself that difiiculties to navi- gation were found. He dilated at length upon the vast wealth looked up in Hudson Bay, and the district‘surrounding it. God, seal. salmon and whales abound in the Bay itself. Valuable minerals, especially mica and plumbago, were found on its shores, and fine agricultural lands were situated near its shores and on the rivers flowing into it. The value of this vast sea and district surrounding it as fields for enter- prise. was referred to in glowing terms by Mr. Dawson, who v. as loudly applauded on resuming his seat._ DOfiINION PARLIAMENT. Mr. Langtry, the husband of the lady who is now in this country, owns some land in Ireland which an agent manages. This agent recently wrote to him, saying that the tenants demanded lower rents and had threatened to resort to the shotgun policy to obtain compliance w1th their demand. Mr. Langtry at once wrote back as follows: " Dear sinâ€"You may say to my tenants that any threats to shoot you will never intimidate me.” chief 0fl‘1cers.. Commissioners 11. Ofiicors and employees..

A Bill introduced by Mr. Wells, amend- ing the Ontario & Quebec Railway Com- pany’s Act, provides that such company shall have power to amalgamate with the Credit Valley Railway Company at any pomt on the line of the last mentioned railway within the County of York.

A petition from Messrs. Duncan Mc- Intyre,Presxdent, and Henry Cuff, Secre- tary, of the Atlantic & Northwestern Railway Company, was presented today, stating that the company had commenced operations under their charter, and are constructing a. railway and forming an approach to the proposed railway bridge over the St. Lawrence River near Mon- treal, and praying for power to issue bonds upon such railyvay._ Hon.

Mr. Curran, when moving for a. return of certain persons in the employ of the Cus- toms Department in the city of Montreal, spoke of the hardship of compelling em- ployees who had been in the service some time to undergo an examination,and hoped that the Government would make the posi- tions of such persons permanent without being examined. Sir Hector Lengevin said that the Civil Service Act made provision for employees in this position, and that the examination they were required to submit to was very easy. Mr. Shakespe'are complained that British Columbia. received no share of the appro- priajionfor» emigrayion. Mr. Coehrane thought aid should be extended to a. proper class of men to emigrate to the shores of the Pacific. The industries of British Columbia could absorb a. considerable number of immigrants of the working 018.55. One immigrant from the Eastern Provinces was, in his estima- tion, worth more to the Province than a. thousand Chinese. .Mr. Foster said that he had looked over the literature of the Emigration Depart- ment. It won in different forms and in several languages, but the impression made upon him by its perusal was that the Dominion of Canada. was created. of Meni- toba, the Northwest, and the Eastern Townships. The old Provinces were almost entixely ignored by those who were endeavoring to induce immigrants to come to the Dominion. A large exodus had been going on from the east to the west, and if some measures were not taken to make up the loss, the Dominion would suffer from the depletion. Sir John Maedonald regretted the absence of the Minister of Agriculture, but the whole question of emigration would be brought before the House during the ses- sion, and he would have an opportunity of enunciating the policy of the Government regarding it. The emigration fund had hitherto been expended in aiding persons from the older countries to emigrate to Canada. If any Province wished to attract emigrants to it, itlwas the duty of its Gov- ernment to take measures to make its resources and advantages known. He was not aware that the Government of British Columbia had done anything to promote emigration to their Province. The Domin- ion Government had granted 25,000,000 acres of land and $25,000,000 to make British Columbia available as a field of emigration, and he did not think that much more could be done in that direction until the Canada Pacific Railway was com- pleted._ Sir Charles Tapper produced a map on which was shown the location of the rail- way, and he said that another showing the allocations of the railway lands was being prepared in the Department. U ' Mr. Kinney,of Yermouth, deplored the exodus from Nova. Scotia and New Brune- wick. He hoped that the bounty glven te fishermen would keep some of the young men at home who were in the habit of going abroad for employment. The exodus was so great that in one part of Nova Scotia. there were one hundred and fifty farms for sale. A society had lately been formed in Nova. Scotiu, the object of which was to encourage emigration to Nova Scotia. and he hoped that the Government would contribute to its funds. Mr. Blake directed the attention of the Government to the fact that there were no maps showing the location of the Pacific Railway, or the allocation of the lands granted to the Canada Pacific Railway Compqhy. _ $3.464 The; Standard says no speech of recent years has produced such interest and excitement as Mr. Forster'a attack te-night THE IRISH FERMENT. A London oablegram dated yesterday (Thursday) says: In the Imperial Com- mons Mr. 'l‘revelyan, in a reply to a ques- tion, stated that a shorthand writer was present during the examination of witnesses at Dublin Castle. The witnesses were not threatened, nor were they proflered drink. The debate on Mr. Gorst’s amendment was then resumed. Mr. Lowther promised the Conservative support to a vigorous policy in Ireland. Mr. Forster said but for the Phoenix Park murders Ireland would have believed Mr. Parnell supreme and would have become ungovernable. The recent disclosures increased the suspicion that the Land League was connected with the out- rages, and the public expected that Mr. Parnell would elucidate this point. No mere disclaimer would be sufiicient. He charged Mr. Parnell with heading an organization which started an agita- tion that promoted outrages and _incited ‘ to murder. Mr. Parnell reaped the advantages of the agitation. He did not plan the outrages, but connived at their commission. Mr. O’Kelly shouted “ It‘s a lie ” several times. He was suspended by a vote of 305 to 20. Mr. Forster reiterated the charges against Mr. Parnell, quoting from his speeches that murder was unnecessary. He said the wretcheswho had committed the Phoenix Park assassins. tions had not acted on the letter but spirit of these speeches. Until Mr. Parnell ex- pressed regret and repentance he could not communicate with him. A feeling was now rising even in Ireland against the agitation. Mr. Parnell and his friends had been unveiled and unmasked. There were loud cries for Mr. Parnell, but he did not move. Mr. O’Donnell, attempting to interpose, was ruled out of order. Mr. Parnell moved to adjourn the debate, which wag agreed to. . _ Pariaeil‘s Q?§fil1§fi,&h,d the Govern- ment’s Reply. A last (Friday) night’s London cablegram says: There was much excitement in the House of Commons at the opening of the session this afternoon. A large number of persons were in the lobbies unable to find room in the House. The strangers‘ gallery and press gallery were filled. The seats 01 all the members were filled. Mr. Parnell said the utmost he desired to do was to make his position clear to the Irish people at home and abroad. Mr. Forster, he said, ought to be ashamed for traduoing him. He declined to reply to Mr. Forster’s questions. and charged that gentleman with having asked him (Mr. Parnell) to inform against his associates. IE Mr. Forster believed the articles in the Irish World were likely to incite to crime, Why had he not stopped the circulation ‘ of that paper? He compared the 1 responsibility of Mr. Forster, who had he not stopped the circulation of that paper? He compared the responsibility of Mr. Forster, who read the articles and believed what the re- sult would be, to that of himself, who had ‘ never read them, though they were now brought against him. Mr. Forster had us- fairly singled out Sheridan as mentioned in the Kilmainham Treaty negotiations. Why did he suppress the names of Davitt, Egan and Boyton, who were also mentioned as likely to endeavor to prevent outrage in Ireland? Mr. Forster exclaimed : “ They were not mentioned to me.” Mr. Parnell continuedâ€"He had been challenged to de- fend himself, but had nothing to defend himself from. He occupied a better position in the eyes of the Irish than Mr. Forster did in England. Mr. Forster was guilty of suppressio veri because the heading in the United Ireland, “Incidents of the Cam- paign,” over a column recording outrages, ceased the moment Mr. O‘Brien, the editor of that paper, was liberated from prison. Mr. Forster’s unfairness was shocking. Mr. Parnell analyzed the evidence of Carey, which was not a statement of fact, but of belief or hear- say. It had been already disproved as regards Mrs. Byrne. The evidence in reference to the source of the “ Murder Fund "rested upon the fact that some men while in prison received cheques from the sustenance fund of the Land League. Such aid had been given to thousands of prisoners. Mr. Foster’s animus was due to the fact that he endeavored to obtain a promise from him (Parnell) but failed to do so, and lost his office. He declared that the present oflioials of Ireland were , manifestly unfit to administer the Crimes Act. Mr.F0rster ought to return to his congenial work. He was hopeful that he would weather as he has weathered other formidable oppressions. He spoke for thirty-five minutes, during the whole of which period the Prince of Wales was in thegallgry. _ Mr. Trevelyan, replying to Mr. Parnell, proceeded to vindicate the policy of the Government in Ireland. Since the preeent Government there has been commissioned to suppress crime the number of murders has been reduced from three monthly to one in the last four anda half months. The only policy for Ireland was to say exactly what the Government meant to do and do it. He regretted that Mr. Parnell had not made his position clearer. Mr. Gorst’s amendment to the address was distasteful to the Lord Lieutenant and to himself, and would, it carried, lead to their resignation and the resignation of the Cabinet. He thought nothing would be more fatal to Ireland than to hand the responsibility of its government to the local bodies. If the Government were convinced that the life of any official or private person had been pointed out by the Land League they would act; against it. _ Alast (Thursday) night's Dublin cable- gram says: The authorities have received valuable information concerning “ Number one,” and are quite positive as to his identity. Mrs. Carey has been completely “boycotted” since turning informer. Not a tenant has paid rent, and notices are chalked on the doorsteps of her property warning persons not to pay rent to the “ cursed informer.” Fitzpatrick. arrested for complicity in the murder of Lord F. Cavendish and Mr. Burke, and who, it was stated, acted as watcher, has been dis- charged. Gen. McAderss telegraphs from Paris: “Publish an emphatic denial of the infamous accusation made against me regarding the Irish conspiracy. I have to- day invited an inquiry into the matter at the hands of the British Embassy, and have taken steps to ascertain the source of the cruel libel_ against me.” Mr. Parnell pointed out that one o! the prisoners had returned the cheque sent him from the sustentation fund, saying he had nothing to do w1th the League, and that the prisoners were not members of the Lapd League. Sir Stafford Northcote said he would be sorry to weaken or harass the Government, but even if the result be to cause the Gov- ernment to resign it would be better that it should happen then that the country, rely- ing on false security, should be led back to the Ministerial policy of the past. Mr. Gorst’s amendment was rejected by 259 to 176. The Parnellites abstained from voting. MoCoan and Blair, Irish Home Rulers, voted with the majority. It is stated on very best authority that startling revelations regarding the murder and conspiracy will be published in a. few days. Ten men will shortly be arrested in the Dublin district and provinces. When these arrests have been made the whole of the organization will be crushed. It will be proved that all the murders were arranged by one organization. Six of the prisoners just committed for trial are willing to become informers. The News says: “As a. personal vindication, Mr. Parnell’s speeohjailed.” FURTHER REVELATIONS EXPECTED. Bashtulness may sometimes exclude pleasure, but: seldom or exer opens any! avenue for Borrow or remorse, on the policy of the Land League. Tia Tunes prinm a copy of the manifesm iERUGd by thirty odd members of the hiah R pub- lican Brotherhood reg-idem at L mama, addresrsed to all the members of the Bro- therhood, expressing the horror and shame with which they read the disgraceful story told in the Kilmainham Court-House. No person, says a. Boston expert, With keen sense of taste, can be deceived about oleomstgaxine. Butter is pure oil. Put a. little In a. warm place and see how quickly it liquefies. If the temperature comes close to boiling, the butter is “oiled,” and unfit for food. Try the same experiment with oleomergatine. It will not harm it, and you will find it diflicult to melt it if you drop it in boiling water. It will dis- solve like tsllow, not like butter. It also cuts like tsllow, with a. sort of metallic glint. Oleomargerine, if “ flavored ” with true butter and made into ” prints,” always keeps the print in the original clear lines. You can handle it without crushing it. It seems as if it had just come off ice. : Coal Mining Boomâ€"Dimculdcs in Knu- roadinzâ€"Seulcrs’ Great Grievances. A telegram from Winni eg last (Wednes- day) night says: Consigerable trouble is being experienced in operating the Thunder Bay branch of the Canada Pacific Railway on account of the great depth of snow, Barticularly between Eagle River and rince Arthur’s Landing. Scarcity of roll- ing stock and lack of water tanks add to the difliculty. The delay in the mails is a source of great annoyance. Recent news from Edmonton reports quite a. boom in coal mining, and large quantities have been stored on the banks of the Saskatchewan ready for the opening of navigation. Goal is now used in the Edmonton mills to generate steam, being prefereble to wood. ‘ Settlers around there have an array of grievances about to be presented to the Dominion Government, and a series of seven resolutions passed at the recent pub- liu meeting are now in the hands of dele- gates to Ottawa, Father Leduo and '1). Maloney. The first asks for three hundred and twenty acres of homestead, and pre- emption for old settlers on the river front as at Prince Albert ; the second asks for a land office; the third asks that settlers who squatted before the survey be allowed their lands as homesteads and pre- emptions, although odd numbers ; the fourth asks for representation in the Canadian Parliament; the fifth asks that where grants to colonization companies in- terfere with the rights of old settlers such grants be annulled; the sixth asks that settlers be allowed to cut wood for their own use on Government lands free of charge, and the seventh asks that the Papastayrs band of Indians be removed to the reserve at the Peace hills. A strange story is related by some per- sons who reside near Lemoore. It is vouched for by several parties of known veracity. It relates to the foresight and invention manifested by a large wolf that inieets that district. The parties in question had been missing poultry for some time. The declination had proceeded to that extent it aroused to activity the defensive faculty of the poultry owners. While one of them, a Mr. Stark Hill, was looking about for some traces of the depredator he came across a. duck that had been raised by W. R. Massmeyer. Its head was all that was visible. The body had been buried with the wings spread out, and the ground had been tramped down. The duck was still alive, although it had been missing for three days. It is evident that the wolf had taken this plan to supply its future wants, and had managed to keep the fowl alive so that it would not spell before he should want it. Thus, it is evident that animals think and reason and manifest some of the faculties usually supposed to be the exclusive prerogative of the animal man.

Mr. Cameron, Ardersier. in ascending the motion. said it had become a. question with him whether he could remain a. member of the Free Church if instrumental music was sanctioned. A man who acquires a habit of giving way to depressxou is one on the road to ruin. When trouble comes upon him, instead of rousing his energies to combat it, ‘ he weakens, his faculties grow dull. his judgment becomes obscured and he sinks into the slough of despair ; and if anybody pulls him out by main force and places him safe on solid ground , he stands there dejected and discouraged, and is pretty sure to waste the means of help which hsve been given him, How different it is with the man who takes a. cheery view of life even at its worst, and faces every ill with unyielding pluck! He may be swept away by an over- whelming tide of misfortune,but he bravely struggles for the shore, and is ever ready to make the most of the help that may be given him. Acheerful, hopeful, courageous disposition is invaluable, and should be assiduously cultivated. The Town of Monroe in a Bad Predica- mom. A Detroit despatch says: At Monroe the ice gorge on the river in raising has broken. The banks of the river and the neighboring streets, also the entire lower parts of the city in the vicinity of the depot and docks are piled high with ice. On every side is desolation and ruin. Yesterday large quantities of ice from the up river came down, forming a dense blockade extending from the Canada Southern Railway bridge nearly a mile up the river. Many families were compelled to leave their houses in boats, and it was feared that one of the fine iron city bridges would go, but the break was secured just at the right time between two railway embankments where the land is very low, situated upon which were a large number of small frame houses, occupied by poor French people. Over this ground the ice was forced in huge masses, smashing in the sides of some and overturning others. Had the water risenafoot higher, or had the gorge held firm for but a few moments longer, this structure, together with the new iron bridge of the Canada Southern Company, would have been carried away. As soon as the gorge broke the waters subsided rapidly, leaving the streets from the city I bridges down, and for several blocks back from the river, thickly covered with huge blocks of massive ice. “Well, not exactly that, but I’ve kinder taken 1!: upon myself to do so. If the Widder Jennings gets that two thousand dollars before the first; of April my heart is going to yearn to marry her. If she don’t get it I’m going to marry an old maid with twenty-one acres of land and a, yoke of oxen. I wouldn’t have come in today, but the widder she’s a winking and the old maid is looking putty as a. bed of onions. and things is beginning to squeeze on me.” Two or three years ago a. Jersey City pension lawyer took the ease of awxdow who wanted about two thousand dollars back pay, and the papers went to Wash- ington, to be hidden away among the cob- webs until some clerk had nothing else to do but examine them. After three months had passed a. young farmer called to ask about the case, and regularly for ninety gays, since that day, he dropped in with IE: “Well, any good news for the widder Jennings? ” At his last visit; the other day the lawyer replied after the same stereotyped fashion, and added : “ Do you live near the widow? " “ Only one farm between us.” “ And she has told you to watch for the 111099? 2” Jumbo Figures. The great Barnum and London show has grown to be something even much beyond the largest entertainment of its kind. It has re- ally assumed the character, importance and dignity of an established public institution ; everything appertaining to which interests everybody, and about which more is writ- ten, read and said than any other topic evokes. There is something amazingly fascinating in the mere magnitude of the figures required to illustrate its popularity and greatness. For over two hundred times last year it attracted a daily attend- ance of thirty thousand people; it repre- sents a capital of over $3,000,000; its actual daily expenses are over 34,800; it uses nearly a solid mile of its own railroad cars; requires eight level acres for its tents; employs 600 men and women, 300 superb horses, 160 advance advertisers and five spacious advertising care, while the bills for printing and engraving alone represent a solid fortune. Instead of single speci- mens it exhibits herds and droves of the rarest and costliest wild beasts; as, for examples, 29 elephants, 10 girefies, 10 ostriohes and 32 camels and dromedsries. It has lost over $80,000 worth of animals and purchased $260,000 worth more. The salaries of itl le Ldiug agents equal those of cabinet ministers; it has representatives in every country on the globe, securing novelties, the mere search for which costs not less than $100,000 a year. A few days ago it cabled $20,000, through the banking houses of Brown Bros, of New York city, and of Brown, Shipley & Go. and the Ori- ental Bank of London, England, toits agents in British Burmah, as the first pay- ment on a. mysterious, newly-obtained feature which it is confidently predicted will even eclipse gigantic Jumbo as a. sensation. It will move upon the great west the coming season, larger and richer in thousands of curious, instructive and entertaining possessions than ever before. No wonder that the name of P. T. Barnum is known and quoted, all the busy world over, as the synonym for shrewdness, pluck, enterprise and success. There may be another Jumbo, but there will never be an other Barnum.

Faction Fight at Port Jacksonâ€"Several ‘ affine Rimes-i Injured. An Amsterdam, N. Y., despatoh says: A number of Irishman engaged in a. fight with four drunken Italians at Port J eckson on Tuesday night, when one Irishman was stabbed slightly in the hip. The Italians were reinforced, and armed with clubs, knives, axes, revolvers, eto., took up a. posi- tion on Main street, and assaulted every passer‘by. Myro Early, a villsger, was knocked down twice, and severely out on the head ; a lady was also knocked down, and several others were hurt. A corps of civil engineers drove the Italians to their shanties, but they returned soon largely increased in numbers, and a. terrific fight ensued between the Italians and engineers and Irishman. A number of revolver shots were fired, and several men were hurt. The fight lasted till 3 a. m., and there are l fears of it being continued to-night. “ Aoultivator of the thoracic and dia phragmatic muscles and educator of laryn- geal oontortiona and vocal technique _” may be better than a flinging teacher, but we don’b know why.

A Wilkeebarre, Pa., telegram says : A terrible tale of eufiermg from cold comes from Hazelton, this county. A German, name unknown, aged 35. while on his way from Beaver Meadow to Stockton, where he lived, lost his way in the woods. He wan- dered two days and two nights retracing his own steps and endeavoring to find his way out, but all in vain. He had nothing to eat, and the clothing he wore was not of real winter quality. He walked cold and hungry till at last he found his way out to the Stockton road. At once he started for home at Stockton, where medical aid was secured. It was found that both feet were so badly frozen that amputation was necessary, and yesterday the operation was performed.

World’s Dispensary Medical Associatxon, Buffalo, N. Y. Aremarkable case of superstition has just been heard by the magistrates of Crewkerne, in Somerset. Nine villagers of West Chinnock, of both sexes, appeared to a summons for assaulting James Stacey, a. herbalist, of South Petherton. The com- plainant, who had been engaged in fortune- telling, was known as “ the Wizard of South Petherton." and his story was that a crowd of about 140 persons assembled in West Chinnook. and the defendants beat him with stones tied in pocket hendkerebiefs. He was chased through the village and kicked, besides being beaten about the head. The defence was that he was a moonlighter, a vagrant neeromancer and fortune-teller. He gave them medicine and told them to bury the bottle in the church- yard till they got better. The bench believed the statement. for the defence and dismissed the charge preferred by the ” Wizard.”â€"â€"â€"Pa,ll Mall Gazette. As we intimated in a. delicate way seversl days since, Mr. Vanderbilt's health is in a. precarious condition and he attends to no business whatever. Indeed, it is said by insiders that the railway Colossus has abdicated his throne and that W. K. and Cornelius hold a power of attorney to transact all business. It is further stated that Mr. Vanderbilt’s malady is of such a nature that at times he is fed entirely on milk. Physicians who have been consulted shake their heads and tsp their foreheads in a. significant manner.
