Mr. Vogan, he testified, claim- ed that he had two good ones and took the men over ard showed them a horse, which the witness claimed did not suit him. When asked if any price bad been mentioned, witness said there was no price mentioned at all, but upon cross examination he said that he did re mark that he would pay $150 or $200 for a good horse. Melville Kerr, cousin of the first witness, stated that he was there at the time the conversation took place and he also saw thehorse. Ie could not recollect any price being offered for either animal, the one in the bush or the one at home, but he remem- bered that his cousin suid he would pay $150 for a good horse. It was stated in court that the defendant Vogan, as witness in the County Court case, swore that he refused $150 for the horse from Charles Kerr, while Mr. Kerr swore he did not offer any price. But on reading the cross examination before the Judge it was shown this morning that Mr. Vogan gwore that Mr. Kerr said he would pay $150 for a horse he had at home providing it was as good as described, but, Mr. Vogan claimed, he refused that price. Mr. George Bray, of Listowel, who defended the accused, asked to have his objections recorded and submitted that there was not sufficient eyidence to send the young man up for trial "T would like to grant your request" said His Worship, "but both witness es swore they offered no price, and | must commit him for trial."

MITCHELL, July 5.--Mr. Alex ander Drummond, a well-to do farmer of the Gth con. of Logan, was found dead in the field where he was work- ing with his team, yesterday afternoon The team was noticed to be standing a longtime in one place and some members of the family went to see what was wrong and were horrified to find Mr. Drummond cold in death. He was one of the most highly re- spected residents of Logan and was about 65 years of age. death was a great shock to the family and has cast a deep gloom over the vommunity where he lived. Besides his wife a grown-up family of sons and daughters survive. The funeral arrangements have not been completed at present. Deep heartfelt sympathy is ex- pressed to the family in their great loss and sudden bereayement. a A New Form. In future a warning to parents as to there duties to the proyince in the matter of registering the birth of a child will be printed in bold type and red letters on all marriage licenses issued by the proyince. The noyel idea is part of a plan which is being put into effect by the Vital Statistics branch to secure a more complete registration of births. Officials of the department suy that insufficient en- tries have been made on their records because of an erroneous belief which prevails that the registration ceremony is part of the doctor's duty. This is not in accordance with the Act, which insists that the parents must atten to the registration. As part of their plan of education the department has caused to be printed in red on the back of all marriage certificates the extracts from Section 20 of the Vital Statistics Act: 'Where a child is born notice shall be given to the di visional registrar of tho division io whieh it is born, by (a) the father, if living ; (b) in case of his inability, or if he is dead, by the mother if living {c)in case of the inability of both par- enta, or neither being alive, by the person acting in place of parents."

Under tho amended law the penalty. is left to the discreation of the magistrate, who may impose a fine "not exceeding $50" for the first offence. At the same time the rule regarding accidents has been made more severe.
