And the defendant t doth further solemnly affirm, that after eucceufully landing said fish on the bank of said oreek, he there and then did proceed to irnuh its head with a common every day hatchet until the aforeuid turtle did cry “enough.” This being only an ex parte statement, the oottrt deckled to hold Crit until the turtle could produce Its witnesses. "This fish business," concluded his hon or, "hu got to have a limit The Imag ination of some fishermen hu got to be retrenched. In future, for veracity, In tbie court at leut, the fieh will stand on a dead level with the Hibernian.” Kllavtlla Complains.

The Electric Light All Bight. The trouble on last Thursday night with the electric plant is explained by Mr. Haggerty, who has charge of that Il luminating power. On investigation, it appears that some mischievous person had tampered with the water pipe which connects with tbe premises of the elec tric light company, and had damaged it to such an extent that no water could be had. It la to be hoped that the person who committed this senseless and malicious act will be discovered and punished. Mr. Haggerty, the superintendent of the works, assures The Times-Recoiid- isb that the patrons of the electric light company need have no feara of the light falling in tbe future for any cause within bis power to remedy; but that, of course, he cao't be held responsible for tbe stoppage of water or the freaks of rival electricity from the clouds.
