COUNTY COUNCIL- Following concludes our report :— TENDER ACCEPTED. The tender of John Devery for enlarging F race, ab ll^d per chain, was accepted. KAKGITATA STOCK BKIDGB, The Gsraldine County Couucil wrote, agiecing to pay half cost of the work ttt the Rallssit.ua stock bridge, the work to be dona by the Ashbucon County Council. SLAUGUTERUODSE BY LAWS.. The slaughterhouse by-laws submitted to members were adopted, to come into force on January 1 next* muckle's race. Mr Hugh Muckle, who had at his own expense consttucted a race, carrying the water four milea to his homestead, applied for relief from charges for one year. Mr Lambie moved that the application be granted, but the motion was unt seconded. DEPUTATION EROM DORIE. "A depu'ation from Doric, consisting of Messrs Richards, Harrison, Swain and otheis, waited on the Council, asking to be allowed to enlarge the main race m the Doric district, so that a Bupply for partial irrigation migbs be brought down. The settlers would defray all cost of construc- tion and maintenance. Mr Harrison was spokosman for the deputation, and m answer to que>tious by Mr Holmes taid the deputa- tion would bear all cost of construction, but hoped the Council would undertake the supervision of the distribution. The head- works were sufficiently large to supply an abundance of water to the 13,000 acres involved. After ihe deputation had left, Mr Lambie moved the mo ion he had given notice cf at last meeting, to impose no additional charges upon the settlers lei-re-ented >>y the deputa- tion who hid just naked upon .he C >m»ci!, m »,he scheme of partial irriga iou proposed by I hem. Mr Harper seconded the motion p> o forma. Ec Baid the district wub differently eiiuated from any other m the county, and was the only corner m Ihe county from which such a proposal could be entertained by the Council. And it could then be entertained only if the aettlers were unanimous. Mr Holmes would like to know from the engineer if it were possible to give a little water for garden irrigation to all the settlers m the- county. He would move as an amendment to Mr Lambie's motion that the whole question be remitted to a committee to consider a^d report — consisting cf Messrs Barper, Lambie, Chapman, and ihe mover. Mr Johnstone would have bten happy to Beeond the motion, but for the tact that just) at the time the water would be wanted m the way Mr Holmes suggested, there was a short supply m all the races. He hardly thought the Doric settlers could expect that he county Bhould hear any of the expense m cnuecion with the intake and super- vision. Mr lambie, said the intake had been made by 1 hose settlers at a cost of £72, and it yielded enough water for all the purposes they were at-king liberty for from tho Council. The district was better situated for partial irrigation than any other m the county, and the peop'e were prepared to pay a 1 expenses themselves. The amendment was carrit-d. THJB CREEK QUESTION The Council then went into Committee on thecrtek question, and on resuming it wag reported tnut the meu employed by the CcULcil at the intake would be withdrawn, and the righ-Bof the Council eufoiotd by means of a C mrt of law. The Council then anj.mineil. r - .

JOHN WHITING'S DIS APPEABANOE. (Continued.) ing, and we drove at onoe to the bank. And I mnst confess that the triumph I had achieved, combined with the Bur- prise m store for them, made my heart beat with more expectation than it had m my 25 years' experience. The bank directors sat m solemn con- clave when we entered. The prisoner's hat was well pulled over his eyes, and on each side of him were offioers, great stalwart men that fairly hid him from sight. "Gentlemen," I said, shaking hands with the vice president and bowing to the directors, "I have the privilege, by permission of the ohief of police, of bringing the prisoner here before he is consigned to permanent quarters at the expense of the state." And thrusting the officers aside and pulling off the hat of the prisoner, "I beg now to have the pleasure of presenting to you your miss- ing president, Cyme Wall I" The directors sprang to their feet with exolamations of amazement. The story of how Wall killed the oountryman Whiting, relying upon their similarity m appear anoe to fasten the suicide upon himself, is known to you through the courts. Wall simplified things by confessing, but there were many other points to be cleared up. He had long conceived the idea of robbing the bank, and to do this he made Whit- ing an offer to travel on alleged "bank- ing business" for a fabulous salary, whioh he, the simple countryman, ao- oepted, promising to keep all a seoret, even from his wife. On the night of the murder he had met tho president by appointment at a small hotel upon the pier, and there, after writing his first letter home and J joyfully inclosing the $500 bill, he had received his first instructions for future business. Incidentally the president or- dered up drinks, one of which contain- ed the fatal laudanum aud whisky. To drop a man off the pier m that locality is not difficult, and after changing the clothes completely and disfiguring the face slightly, as though bruised with the fall, the guilty man dragged his victim to the dock and pushed him off, where he never gained consciousness m the water. To wholly disarm suspicion he had put the $5,000 roll m the vest pocket. It is easy to imitate handwriting, so after sending several letters to the wid- ow the murderer placed the large sum m her hands to insure future comfort, and as he snpposed to quiet her. Going to London to invest his money sn route for Berlin, ho had simulated a German count, trusting to his disguise, and had it not been for my accidental close acquaintance with dead and gone John Whiting he would forever have 1 escaped. Tho attention which London- ers were paying him made him resolve to leave there next day. And up to the minute we stood face to face m his apartments I expected to confront John Whiting. Fortunately for the bank, its erring president had bo well invosted his re- maining fortune abroad that when it was confiscated the bank lost little or nothing. THE END. Exceptionally L,onjj Beards. Exceptionally long beards have al- ways attracted a goo 4 deal of attention, ( and m most old works on the customs and habits of men there are numer- ous references to "whyskirs" and "byeardes" of extraordinary length. Rauber von Talberg, a German knight and councilor of Maximilian 11, who died m 1575, rejoiced m the possession of a beard which reaohed to his feet, and from there again to his waist. John Mayo, the celebrated sixteenth century painter (the same who accompanied Charles V on his campaigns), was a man 6 feet 6 inches m height. Giant though he was, his beard reached the ground, and m order to keep it out of. his way Mayo always wore it tucked under a girdle which encircled his waist. Howland Llewenn, the Welsh high- wayman who made life burdensome to the travelers over the Cambrain hills during the early part of the seventeenth oentury, "had a yellow beard of might- ier length and size. " He is said to have worn it m two braids, or plaits, which were thrown back over his shoulders and crossed at the small of the back and again brought around to the front of the body, where they wore fastened with gold clasps and buckles. Each braid was about 5 feet 9 inches m length, and When left unplaited the whole beard was upward of 7 feet m length. — St. Louis Republic. Too Much Radicalism. Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, the genial editor of St. Nicholas, onoe visited Mrs. John T. Sargent m Boston and attended the famous Radical club, whose meet- ings were during the entire existence of the olub held at her house. Probably no more brilliant gatherings of notable men and women have been known m this country. Bnt the "Radicals" were undeniably given to tearing everything from the universe and its Creator down to the latest theory of the origin of speoiea to pieces. When Mrs. Dodge took leave, she was escorted to her carriage by Wendell Phillips, to whom she exhibit- ed her glove, which had been hopeless- ly slit up the back when it was put on. "You see, " remarked Mrs. Dodge b.u* morously, "the effeot of too much Rad- ical olub. Nothing, not even my glove, oan withstand it." Wanted a Pleasant Expression. Mr. Grumps — Good morning! Do you take pictures by the instantaneous proc- ess? Photographer — Yes, sir. Mr. Grumps — Well, this is Mrs. Grumps, my wife, you know. I want her picture taken. Photographer — Certainly. But are you particular about having it instanta- neous? Mr. Grumps — Of course. When you get things ready, tell her to look pleas- ant and then snap off the machine be- fore the expression fades away. You've gotter be quioker'n lightning.— New York Weekly^ FOR BALK, Cheap— Strong Trap; may be used aa a brake. Apply Mail Q&O* 7 126
