"young womsu," siguing herself Gag

become the desired correspondent. An
endearing letter was received in res
ponse, the writer dating from Union

passed sud several more letters. liz

to come to Hamilton, trGveling by the
7:20 train from Glasgow. The fair one

scene. The upsuspecring swain had
fallen into trap. Before be could
offer any resistance he was seized hold
of, laid on the ground, and tied with a
rope. Thus fastened. he was at the
mercy of his tormenrors, who, with
brush set to and besmeared the poor
man all over with treacle-he had said
in his letters he was grocer. Not
content with this, they unjid his vest
and poured inside the contents of
bottle filled With the same saccharine
substance. They then te;hered their
victim to the hedge aud decamped. In
this sad plight he was shortly afterward
found and set at liberty by two passers-
by. Others came on the scene; and
after going to the nearest public house,
they, good Samaritan like, ordered re-
freshments, and subscribed as much as
took the rejected one back from whence
be came. Latterly the police got word
of the proceedings, and it is quite pos
sitle the jokers may yet have to pay
pretty sweetly for their whistle.

or stupid man, may make such de-
clarations, but an honest man, and q
well-informed man, makes no such
declarations, for the facts in the case
will not permit such departure from
truth. No man ever sat in the Presi
dental chair who held the place with
a clearer title. First, he holds the
place by majority of the electoral
votes, by a majority of one, which in
law is as good as twenty Second,

commission was provided by Con

who questions it, is not seriously in
favor of needing DEGREES of courts,
