an tour in the Scottish Highlands, were in
the habit of stopping at small farmhouses
and asking for milk, the charge for which
was invariably a penny a glass. Calling
one Sunday at a romantic looking cottage
in beautiful Glen Nevis, they were sourly
received by the cotters wife, and though
the milk was supplied, the proffered two
pence was refused, with solemn admoni-
tion as to the improperly of such doings
ON such day. The collegians were turn,

A Hired Substitute for the Real Au.
thor OF Crime

NhoI III d SIlne.
The Ohio State prison authorities have
just discovered that one of their prisoners is
a hired substitute for the real author of the
crime. Two prisoners were taken to Spring
field to testify in the prosecution of Samuel
Lands, wealthy saloon-keeper, who is &C
cused OF receiving stolen goods. In the
course of the investigation it was pretty
we'll established that Lands was the guilty
man in the case which sent one of the prison
ers, James Shelley, up and that he had been
hired by Lands, for big pay, to swear the
crime on himself and take the punishment.
Lands is rich, and it is said has been in
prison before, 50 that he was in danger of
being caught under the habitual criminal
act should he be sent to prison again and be
held indefinitely Y. Therefore he felt that he
could well afford to hire a sub

WE MUST MEET AGGRESSION WITH AG-
eREss1oN.-From an editorial ia the n. Y.
Herald in reference to the election of Reed
in Maine we extract the foilowing:-
s'While We could have wished that the
electors of Maine had spoken in favor OF
prudence and wisdom, it is just as we'll that
the issue should be made. The country
must take up and decide those serious ques-
tons. If the republicans mean aggression
they must be met with aggression. That
is all. The country must be taught what
republican supremacy mesns-profigacy in
the Treasury; oppression in the tariffs; the
poor ground into the dust to benefit the
rich; millions upon millions squandered up
on pensions; a renewal of the worst features
of the civil war by an attempt to revive sec
ti0Gal strifes in the South.
Maine accepts this programme with EN-
phasis and enthusiasm. Bnt Maine is not
the nation. Let the issues DO made plain
to the people, and, in spite of Maine, we do
not doubt their verdict"

?. Moore, who fed from Eastville, North
ampton county, and was arrested By the
police at Buens Vista last week under the
charge Of aeduoing lady Of Eastvillo, and
sent to jail in Lexington, and afterwards
taken back to Eastviila by the Sheriff OF
Northampton county, consented, on his ar
rival there, TO marry his victim, and on
Saturday last the marriage took place.
There were many sensational and exagger-
atad reports about this case. TIE facts are
bad enough; but the reports msgnif1ed the
offense By charging the exercise Of violence.
The name Of tbs lady in this case is said to
be Mary Brickhouse.
