TEEFY, Clerk: read :â€" . . . . . $8 55 .150 : dicate the lawless character“ of a class of ONTARIO COUNTY now bids fair to rival Orangeville and vicinity in furnish iog instances oflawlessness and deeds of'r violence. Recently, when serving sumâ€"- mons at Brechin. Constable McBain was -warned not to leave any papers at a hotel, the warning being emphasized with a drawn revolver. Later, at Up- tergrove, this constable was brutally beaten while in discharge of his duty, 'and left in an insensible condition. When he recovered consciousness, he made his way to the station and was about to board the train when he Was arrested On a warrant charging him with attempting an asasult upon the person of the wife of the hotelvkceper whom he endeavored to serve with the papers. After being locked in a room of the hotel all night, with wounds unâ€" dressed, he was brought up for trial and induced to sign a paper exculpating all concerned in the outrage upon himself, upon condition of the charge of assault 'being dropped. The hotel-keeper who so brutally beat him was subsequently arrested, after a desperate resistance. These incidents, perhaps,.sufliciently inâ€" people in that county, and the Myrtle tragedy is a fitting climax. The \Vhitby Chronicle says: “The news from Myrtle Wednesday that George Brown had been shot twice by whiskey detectives McRae and 'Dennin, who recently raided this county. caused great excitement. These detectives had been at Brooklin giving evidence and hadprocured for the crown ‘ evidence of about fifty violations of the Scott Act. Their detective ‘work had y raised strong feelings against them by the supporters of .the traffic, and Brown and some other Port Perry fellows came dOWn to Myrtle station and met them as they took the train for Toronto, about seven o’clock in the evening. Brown asked Dennin to come out of the station, and, catching hold of him asked him to one side. This Dennin refused to do and Brown attempted to pull him along A scuflle ensued in which both men drew revolvers. as did also McRae. A few shots were fired and Brown fell down shot twice in the breast Dennin having also secured Brown’s revolver. Then some other parties who had been hiding behind the station came running up,fired some shots but without hitting any perâ€" son, and ran away again. Brown was removed to the station home just as the train came along and took the detectives to Toronto where they were arrested and detained at the request of the Myrtle station agent.” BE CAREFULâ€"Many bills “raised,” to $10 are now in circulation.

A uniâ€" versal War will rage from Oct, 1896 to August. 1897; this will be‘ followed by three and a half years’ tribulation, in which millions of Christians will be be- headed ( Baxter possibly among them); and sometime between March and ()câ€" tober, 1890, one hundred and fortyâ€" four thousand watchful Christians will ascend to heaven.
