GORY PUNISHMENTS.

The explanations the man offered for his behaviour savoured of inanity but no Ho more so than his taste in dress. seemed familiar with Christian terms and knew most of the local missionaries by name. The servants and night watchman were finally aroused and took charge of the soldier, tying him up safely till the morning, when three of his comrades n rosponse to a tolophone call came and took him away. The doctor arged them to treat in de insane rather than as a miminal but there is no asylum for the insane hore while the executioner's sword is ever ready.

GOSSIP COSTS £1,500. COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD WINS LIBEL ACTION,

"TITTLE TATTLE OF A LADY'S TEA PARTY."

Mary, Dowager Countess of Senfield, has been awarded, in the King's Bench | Division, £1,000 damages and her daugh- ter, Nian, the Countess of Seafield, £500. damages against George Wilberforco Grant, as the result of a letter which he wrote to the Editor of the Strathspey Herald, in which he alleged that Nina was not a daughter of the Dowager and that the latter was guilty of gross im posture in patting. her foward as the Countess

The matter arose out of the claim' in the Scottish Courts by Mr. Alexander Grant that the eighth, ninth and eleventh Earls of Seafield had na title to the Earldom, but that Mr. Alexander Grant, ought to be the eighth Earl

Counsel explained that the eleventh Earl married Mabel Townend in New! Zenland, in 1893, but no dild was born to them till 1000.

Counsel for the defendant said the latter apologised for repeating the tittle tattle of a lady's tea-party. The defen dant, who was a retired Civil Servant, had done a foolish thing and would have. to suffer for it.
