BITING OFF A NOSE.—Yesterday, at the Borough
rat
haoell
the prosecutor and the prisoner met together in Spink-
street, White Abbey. The prisoner made some observa-
tion about prosecutor and his com Anion. The prosecutor
replied, "Now, I am talking to other persons, and I don'
want your interference." He had no sooner spoken than
the prisoner went up to the prosecutor, seized him by the
head, and bit off the end of his nose. The prosecutor had
since been under medical treatment. Several witnesses
were called to prove these facts. The prisoner was com-
mitted for trial at the assizes. Mr. Hutchinson, sen.,
appeared for the prosecution.
DR. GUTHRIE ON THE DUCAL HOUSE OF ARGYLL.
—At the Inverary rejoicings on the occasion of the Mar-
quis of Lorne attaining to his majority, the Rev. Dr.
Guthrie proposed the health of the Duchess of Argyll. In
the course of a very interesting speech he said—" I have
all the more freedom to stand here this day, and to plead,
if it were necessary, for all reverence and affection for that
(of Argyll) and the order to which they belong,
life booing, booing,
that I have not spent my .
as the Scotch
people say
—booing, booing to those at the top. I have
spent it better. I have spent it
and broken fellow-creatures lying at the bottom of the
social scale. Let mo say this, to borrow a figure from the
obsolete art of falconry, -which has survived, and which,
I think, is very telling. Lord Lorne is a hawk out of a
good nest—Argyll on this hand, and Sutherland on that,
1 will put my foot on history. I will stand on ground
where no man can challenge me, and I will assort before
this company and before the world, that to no house, from the
border to Dunnet head, does Scotland owe so much as to the
houses of Argyll and Sutherland. Twice the sun saw the
head of an Argyll roll on the bloody scaffold for Scotland's
rights and liberties ; and to the good Earls of Sutherland
that district of country owes the honour that she wears un-
rivalled this day. There were good Earls of Sutherland
in the olden times, whose qualities are written in imperish-
able memory; men who made it a matter of conscience to
fill the pulpits and parishes of that district country with
ministers pre-eminent for power and piety. Though
dead, the good Lords of Sutherland yet speak, speak in the
statistical tables loud and clear. Sutherland—and I be-
lieve it may be tracedback to the good works of these good
old Earls—Sutherland in point of morality this day stands
without a rival in Scotland, in England, in any country, I
believe, in the civilised world. I therefore repeat my say-
ing, that Lord Lorne is a hawk out of a good nest; and I
have no doubt whatever that he will, by God's blessing,
maintain—might I hope he would add to—the honours of
his house. Even having regard to the present Duke, his
science, his literature, his statesmanship,his support of
every good and great moral cause in the country, if the
Duke and Lord Lorne were hnre, I would say in the pre-
. sence of the father to his son, "May ye rive your father's
bonnet,' ".
