family closet. Last evening, while Marks
was speaking at n political gathering in
the open air, some one, presumably a
Bennite, took a pop shot at him with a
stone, and landed on one of his eyes

| braced liberalism, resigning the conserv-
ative seat he occupied for Colchester. He
was rewarded with baronetcy, which ne
now has, while the liberals lost his more
or less valuable services in the House.

| again nowhere to-day. They are evident
Iy yet far from being an electoral or po-
! UticaI mower.
