Mr. Hardy â€" But that is not the point he is tryiuif to^t at. Mr Gibaon (Huron), continuing, said that be never knew of any person yet who had entarwi a Hi^h School to return to the farm. The money spent on High Schools would be (nacb better spent in developing and building railwa>s in the unsettled diahrkiM. l)r. .MuLaugblin said he knew nnmbers of prcfei^aioual gentl>-men who would never iiave occupied their (^resent poaitiona bad it not been for free schools, free hitih schools and a free university.

Northumberland (Mr. Willoniihb> ) to formalate his charged so that an iuvcsiigatioa might be held. As to the retrogressive change proposeil by the Opposition, tbe whole temperance and ctaurun sentiment of the country was opposed to It. Mr. Awrey aaid that tbe hotel-keepers were tbe aopportera of Dr. Willoughby in Ease Northumberland. His agemu were hotel keepers, and it was very amudiug to see him call his supporters martyra to the liquor license laws. Mr. Awrev continued the debate. He taunted the Opposition with making; vague charges in wholesale which they could not substantiate. For fourteen years in bis rilling there had not been a complaint against the administration of the Crooks A't. Mr. Clancy said that the adminij'ration of the Crooks Act and the Scott Act by the Government had brought both iito con- tempt. The principle uontended for by tbe Opposition was that it was not possible to •ominister the Liquor License Act in an hon>-at manner if the Govemmeut â€" any Government - had control of the license faoardj. .Vlr. Ballantyne contended that tbe Crooks Act bad been admirably ad- ministered. Under the previous system iu- •|)ection of liquor places was a farce, every- body who appded got a license, an>l liquor was fold at all hours. As to the Scott Act it was impossible to enforce it because the people did not sympathize with tbe mea. •are. Tbe House divided and the amendment was lost. Veas 'Si, naya 43.

It is needless to aay that I sold him one. It was foortsen carats and very pretty. Two days later the door was fluug open and in rushed the same young man, boiling with rage. He threw the necklace on tbe counter, demand- ing tbe return of his money, and tbrcatunMl to expoM me aa a swindler.
