Webster, Esq. NORTH GR EY FALL ASSIZES, Trial of Josepli Lambert for Mur- dering His Father- Acquitted on tbe Crronnd Insanity. of DAMAGES FOB INJURIES iOAINST THE HOBTH- EBN BAILWAT COMPANT. Thursday evening last was tbe time appointed to banquet Mr. Alex. Web- ster, The evening was yery fine and a large number turned out to do hon- or to whom honor is due. Mr. W. has been a resident of Price- ville the greater part ot the last twenty- £ix years, during which time be has been engaged in various undertakings but the greater portion of which he â- loUowed the mercantile life. He was always foremost in advocating or as- sisting in any project that was for the welfare of the place or its citizens. _His business capabilities, together "â- "with wonderful energy and will power ~Las carried him safely through many "projects of public enterprise, and has crowned his various undertakings with satisfactory results. He has, bow ever, disposed of bis village property, the grist mill, to Mr. McGowan, and his mercantile business to Mr. Brander from near Toronto, and is about to take his departure from Priceville and Owen- Sound, Nov. 7.â€" At the as size court here to-day several cases of minor importance was disposed of. Wilton Y. the Northern Kailway. The plaintiff in January last was driving along the road near Thorn- bury with his ox team, and going across the track at a crossing was struck by a passing train, resulting in tbe plaintiff gettiug his leg broken, and receiving other injuries. Verdict was given for plaintiff for $350. THE LAMBERT PABRICIDE. The case of Joseph Lambert, of Holland township, lor tbe murder of his father, George Lambert, m Hol- land township last May, was then brought before tbe court. The mur- der took place in Holland township, near the village of William sf or d, on thp line of the Toronto, Grey, and Bruce Railway. The prisoner came into the hcuse about an hour before tea and got a shot gun, which he loaded, and then proceeded up stairs. When the father came in to tea and was in tbe act of washing his hands the son fired a shot through, a stoye pipe hole, which took effect in ihe victim's back causing him to fall on the floor. The prisoner then re-load- ed the gun and fired the second shot, taking effect in the dying man's head. After this he took his dead f^her by the boot leg and hauled hins, away in the garden about fifty yards from the house, where he attempted to prepare a grave for the reception of the body. will locate on his farm on Young st., j I* was at this stage of the crime that the prisoner was arrested. Since his North, seven miles from Toronto. The supper was given at the Com- mercial Hotel. Over ninety sat down to a table laden with the best the market could afford, got up in the usual tasty and sumptuous style of mine host, Mr. Atkinson and better half. Many leading men of the dis- trict were in attendance, among whom were Mr. Blyth, M. P. P. for South Grey, F. McRae, Reeve of Gienelg, Dr. Christoe, Reeve of Arteraesia, Thorp Wright, Deputy Reeve of Ar- temesia, Geo. Rutherford, of Shel- burue, T. Kells, R. Oliver, and Mr. Robb. The Durham Chronicle, Flesh- erton Advance, and Markdale Standaed were also represented by their several proprietors. After full justice was j done in supplying the wants of the inner man, Dr. Christoa was voted to the chair, and Mr. Robb to the vice- chair. The usual loyal and other- toasts were proposed and responded to. Our space will not permit us to particularize, therefore we cannot do justice to the speakers, suffice it to say those present were unanimous in pr(.ciaimiug the guest, Mr. Webster, a man of undoubted integrity and high moral wortli, high in the estima- tion of all who knew him, and m whose departure the village will be a heavy loser the very best wishes of the community would follow him and his excellent lady and family in their new home. W'ith the exception of a few sarcastic remarks in reference t municipal matters, from son?e of our ofiicials, from whom we might expect better things, the proceedings passed off in an exceedingly enjoyable man- ner. confinment in gaol here he has taken matters quite cooly. occasionally showing signs of eccentricity. A num- ber of witnesses were examined to-day to sustain the plea of insanity set up by the prisoner's counsel, including Drs. Barnhart and Manley, the latter of whom declared the prisoner a mo- nomaniac. The trial was very short, and the jury after a short absence re- turned with a verdict of not guilty on account of insanity. His Lord- ship Justice Osier remarked that he agreed with the- Jury's finding. The prisoner was defended by Mr. James Masson, Alfer Frost prosecut- ing on behalf of the Crown. THE GKAVE. The Tax Sale. The county sale of lands for arrears, of taxes took place last week, and we hope to see a change in the arra,ngo- ments for advertising such proper- ties before another year. The pres- ent mode of advertising all parcels of property, no matter in what locality in the county they may be, in one paper in the county is unjust, and unfair to those in the neighborhood of such parepl of property who may have a claim upon the same. The question has been before the public in years past, and we hope each repre- sentative at the coming session of the county council will advocate the just claims of their several municipalities, viz That the property to be sold for taxes in any township be ad- vertised in the paper, published in such municipality, or if none, then in one published in an adjoining one. This is nothing more than a just ahd fair request on the part of ratepayers. Messrs. Palliser, Palliser Co., of Bridgeport, Ct, the well known archi- tects and publishers of standard works on architecture, have lately is- sued a sheet containing plans and specifications of a very tasteful mod- ern eight room cottage with tower, and also with the necessary modifica- tions for building it without the tower, and with but six rooms if desired. In its most costly form, the outlay is estimated at $3,000 without the tower it has been built for $2,500 and if only six rooms are included,the cost may be reduced to $1,700 or $2,000. Details are given of man- tels, stairs, doors and casings, corn- ices etc. The publishers have found it the most popular plan they haye ever issued, and state that it has been adopted in more than five hundred instances withm their knowledge. The sarue firm issue specifications in blank adapted for frame or brick buildings of any cost also forms of building contract, and several books on modern inexpensive, artistic cottage plaos which are of great practical value and convenience to everyone interested.
