Onr contemporary soath appean im hia "hobby horse" when endeaToring to belittle the oonrse of the Stasdabs in reference to its politieal standing. We might here rea- sonably ask, what has the Adoane* made of its pecoliai course in politics. First on the fence, not knowing on whiich side to get down, preferring rather to "bide a wee" in order to ascertain on which side the pasture grew the most Inxoriant, thereby intimating that he was (as it were) willing to be "anybody's dog for broth." He got down, howeyer, and to all appearance is down yet. In endeavoring to discuss matters political he has clearly shown that he understands no more about them than (fignratiTely speaking) a cow knows about a fiddle, henee the Reformers have turned from the wonderfull sheet with disgust, while respectable Conserratiyes look upon it with distaste. Then in order to draw out the sympathy of his supporters he would make it appear that we had created a sentipent of hostility to FleshertoB. This ia a falsehood of Advance creation. What wUl be next on his program, time will tell. ON OUB TABLE. Tba Nor-Wett Tarmar, prinMdaad fob- Uafaedin^nnn^egattlpwMiiUB.

Our merchants have aU signed an agree- ment to close their shops at 7 o'cIock every evening during the summer seisou Satur- days excepted, when they wiU be kept open until 9. We hope customers will bear this iu mind and endeavor to have their shopping done early in the day, and thereby assist to carry out the arrangement. The selesmen and attendants need out door exercise as well as other people ai this commendable move will materially aisist 'q that direction. ANOTHEE OLD KESTDENT GONE. Mr. James Noble died on Tuesday morning at the age of 45 years, after an illness of about thirteen years, during which time he has been unable to engage in the duties of life. His disease was consumption. Another Stabbing Aflray. ONE, FAltEELoF TORONTO The VICTIM. THB WOUND NOT LIKELY TO PROVE FATAL. On Friday evening last an altercation oc- curred at James Hogan'e boarding house in this place.among some of Paddy Bums' men, who are engaged loading wood on the Rail way. There being no cars to load that day a number of the men got drunk in conse- quence of bemg idle, but how the row start- ed and who was the cause seems a mystery, however, a wounded man (who was also in- toxicated) went to the Station immediately after being stabbed and requested protection from Mr. Ceesar, the agent, which was the first intimation of anything being wrong. Mr. Ciesar at once sent for Dr. Armstrong, who arrived m a few minutes, and on ex- amination found a wund in the windpipe, such as the small blade of a pen- knife would make. The Dr. dressed the wound which he thinks is not dangerous. Mr. Cse.sar had Farrel forwarded by next morning's train to Toronto where he was sent to the Hospital. The cause of the row was, no doubt, too much whiskey more than anything else. The perpetrator is not exactly known, bat it IS generally believed to be Hogan, who has suddenly disappeared Another of tW gang was arrested for disordnly conduct at the station and lod^s in.

The Spring Assizes for the oounty com- menced on Tuesday last. Hon. Justice Gait presiding. The criminal business was very light, the only prisoner in gaol awaiting trial being one on a charge of stabbing. There were six jury and eight non-jory cases on the civil docket. Mr. A. Frost conducted the Crown business. The following gentlemen composed the Grand Jury â€" Neil McCoIeman.Forcman, George Buskin, Harris Knight, Wm. Yanstone Adam Good- fellow, Wm. C. Brown, Richard Olmstead. Anthony Shute, Wm. Westaway, George Atkey, Jas. H. Adams, Thos. Rogers, Robt. Guy, Richard Heron, Jesse Ketcbum, John Weir, Jno. M. Tupper, Samuel^oyd, Robt. Harkness, John Robertson, R. D. Bigger, Wm. Edwards, Thos. Luton. The following eases were disposed of â€" Leader vs Nobthern Railway Company. â€" This was a case where Mr. Johnston Leader of St. Vincent sold barley in Toronto to a Mr. Davis by sample, and shipped it by Northern Railway. It appeared that the grain on arriving in Toronto was inspected and pat into elevator with, other grain of same grade, and a car load from the same bin afterwards offered to Mr. Davis, who re- jected it, as not being accorJing to sample. Mr. Leader sued the Company for the price of the grain, claiming that they had agreed to deUyer his grain to the George iStreet switch. The Company contended that by the printed condition on the back of the ship- ping bill they were permitted to inspect grain and put it in elevator, dehvering out an equal quantity of tbe same grade, and that no verbal agieemeut could alter that con- tract. The jury fuuuJ that the agreement was to dehver the car at George Street and Judge entered verdict for plaintiff. (3o9. John Creasor.Q. C., for plainiiff. H. Fergu- son for defendants. The Grand Jury brought in a true bill against Johu Doyle for malicious wounding. Cbeasob v» Pearson, et al. â€" Action on promissory note. Verdict for plaintiff by consent, $481.

Babbeb vt BARBER.-Referred to Geo. Inclis. Esq. Queen vg John N. Snabe. â€" This was the celebrated Snake ca^e, which could not be trie! at the last Assizes, because the Indian mysteriously disappeard during the Ceurt. He now says he was drugged and carried away in a buggy, but cannot identify who did it. D. A. Creasor, on behalf of the pri- soner, took objection to the indictment oa the ground t^at the uecUration before a Commissioner, who was- not a "funsiionary" within the meaning of the- ilat, and conse- Hpently had no right to take a dclaratien. His Lordship overruled the objection, and the trial proceeded. The facts are already familiar to our readers. The jury acquitted the prisoner. wesnesbat. Dow vt CouLTXB. â€" There appeared to be an old feud between the parties, who hve in Proton, and one day the two defendants, young men named Coulter, had a quarrel with young Dow, in which the latter got several teeth knocked out and sustamed o*her injuries. Dow's father brought this aetion to recover damages. The defendants contended that Dow had struck at one of them with an axe before they molested him, and what they did was in self-defence.â€" S.
