A. Forte, Judge Kiddoo and others are expected to address tho moetlng. It ap pears that from some slip in the advertisement of the no tices for an election on the stock law by the Ordinary, that tho elec, tion whioh was advertised for July second, will not come off, because of the shortness of tbe notioe, being twenty-nino instead of thirty days. This puts off the election for an other 12 months, as the day of such elections is fixed by law to come off the first Wednesday in July. The abandoned wretch, Alf Hainey who has been hunted for the past month, skulking from tbe charge of attempted rape on tbe person of Mrs. Fincher, a nioo white lady, came in and delivered himself up to Mr. T. J. Mctbvin, who im mediately took him to jail in Fort Gaiues. He denies the charge after hiding himself in tho swamps for a month or more. The law will doubtless deal justly by him. Fears wero entertained that if over found, be would be despatched in a sum mary manner, but wiser counsel prevailed, and he now lies in jail to await trial in tbo proper court. The present presidential outlook is that Governor Cleveland, of New York, and McDonald, of Indiana, will be the Democratic nominees for president and vice president which will be a strong tioket.

Sir Titus Salt, of Saltaire, Eng., has closed a contract for the es tablishment of an iron’plant at Day- ton, Tcnn., involving an investment of nearly £1,000.000.
