MISTAKEN IpentTITy.—On the 27th of De- cember last the dead body of a man with his neck broken was found on the Great Western Railway, near Bilston, Staffordshire, England. After the inquest had been adjourned for a week, two witnesses came forward and iden- tified the body as that of their former partner, who left them, Now the person identified as being the dead man has turned up again, and acknowledged that he saw the repor> of his death, but did not think it worth while to contradict it.

AsouT Strikes.—Compared with the pre- vious year there has been a falling off in the number of strikes in the United States in 1888. Last year there were 679 strikes, in- volving 211,000 employes. This was a falling off from 1887 of 23 per cent. in the hands en- gaged. The loss in wages is placed at $11,- 343,000, against $15,480,000 in 1887. [tis a little significant that this decline in labor troubles and labor losses should have been contemporaneous with a large talling off in the numbers of the chief labor organizations in

that country. —_—- - -~ > - -

Womex on tHE Wark Patu.—Word has been received from Prosser, Adams County, Neb., that a band of fifty prominent ladies of that county made a crusade on a saloon and gambling house at that place on Monday night, demolishing the establishment. They attacked the building when it was crowded, with their aprons full of coal, breaking every window glass and clearing out the establish- ment. The inmates scattered in every direc- tion, some of the loungers being the husbands of the women. Whiskey and beer-then flowed into the gutter. The place has had a hard re- putation for selling liquor without a license.

NOTES.

There is to be a revision of the Dominion voters’ lists this year. In preparing the draft of Government Bill for the printers, through a clerical error the clause of last year’s bill making the existing lists available until 1889 was copied and the dates were so changed. The Government, however, does not intend to postpone re- vision any ionger.

An Opposition caucus was held to-day, when the leadership was discussed. Laurier feels his anomalous position when Mr. Blake isin the House. It is likely the leadership will be divided.

A formidable deputation interviewed Hon. Mr. Foster to-day and urged that no change be made in the duties on iron and steel.
