Court this morning in the case of Forget vs.Wallach.The defendant made a motion for a jury trinl, and objection was raised to this motion on the ground that brokers are not merchants and traders.Mr.Descarries, in behalf of the plaintiff, argued that brok- erg, being paid a regular commission on their transactions, and having none of the ordinary risks of commerce, cannot be considered as merchants.On the other hand, Mr.Surveyer, suppcerted the defendant's motion, by men engaged in that business are cousider- ed as regular traders.Tha Court took the point en delibere.1 INJUNCTION QUASHED.Judge Davidson rendered judgicnt this morning in the case of the St.Henri School Commissioners vs.the Montreal Water & Power Company.It wiil be remembered that, some time ago.the Catholic school board of 3t.Henri resisted payment of the water account claimed by the Water & Power Company, on the ground that they were exempted from taxes.As the company pressed for payment and threatened to cut off the supply, the commissioners touk out the present writ of injunction to prevent this threat being carried out.On that issue judgment was rendered this morning, the court disinissing the writ of fnjunction and maintaining the defendants pretension that they furnished a commodity under a regular contract and were entitied nt be $a therefor.\u2014 \u2014e ST.PATRICK'S T.A.& B.SOCTETY.At

Co.\u2019s \u2018Real Estate Record,\u201d remarks that exzepting that there has been more interest manifested in real estate by a number of inquiries for properties of different kinds, there is little of significance or importance in this month's operations 10 1e cord.In other respects also the raouth\u2019s business has been of an encouraging character.The value is greater than in the corresponding month of any previous vear, and the business has heen widely distributed over the whole range of propertiee\u2014investments, vacant, and residential.Exchanges, which are lcok- ed upon as the usual accompaniment of a dull market, are still in evidence.There in most lines of real csitate development the business was overdone, and a return to prosperous times and activity in real estate will only tallow business conditions in all parts of the country.That this improvement is on the way is becoming more and more apparent, and there is a general feeling throughout the country that cireum- stances are combining to put Canada forward in her proper place as the country now affording the greatest inducements to settlers, and the best opportunities for investment.There has been a fair amount 5f renting and selling of houses for fall cceu- pancy, but the business in both parti culars, is still backward.Prices are at the lowest, and people intending co buy real estate in Montreal can probably do as well for themselves now as they will ever be able to do.As regards ware houses and shops, rt takes time tn change business conditions.In the dry goods, mercantile and office districts, there must be a new expansion nf business forces before the vacant stores, flats, and offices will be taken up, but when once this movement has begun end in- (nmes begin to rise, real estate will enter upon a new period nf activity.There were one hundred and fifty- seven transfers in the city warls and i town of Westmount recorded at the registry offices during the month of

FARMERS.A farmer, who has every reason by tradition and instinct to favor the volunteers, and who takes especial pride in them, called at the \u2018Witness\u2019 Office this morning with a bullet.It looked like a Jæe-Metford missile\u2014the kind that does not \u2018stop\u2019 the foe, because it goes through even two or three foemen at a time, if they happen to be in hne.The farmers in the vicinity of the rifle butts\u2014 and for a great distance beyond the bush in rear of the firing grounds\u2014have complained that they, too, frequently hear these bullets whistle close to them when ploughing or while at other farm work.They even pick up the bullets away to the rear, in the next county.Of course, crack shots in their senses are not dangerous, as their bullets are tolerably certain to be checked by the bush in rear of the \u2018butts\u2019; yet men who fire rifles at targets are not all careful, and are not all so full of knowledge of their weapon that they keep the muaz- zle and breech in line with the target when they fire.The tendency of the rifle 1s to throw the bullet high\u2014a tendency which requires knowledge and practice to keep in check.The bullet thrown high goes away over the bush.Being asked what he recommended as the best means of checking the danger or \u2018of stopping it.the farmer said.\u2018The common sense of the militia officers must tell them that their present firing grounds are no place for safe rifle firing, and they should go elsewhere.\u2019 \u2014\u2014\u2014 FIRE ON ALEXANDER STREET.THE NARROW ESCAPE OF JOHN M CARTHY.MRS.There was a fire on Sunday last at No.46 St.Alexander street, occupied by Mr.John McCarthy, city lamp-lighter.Mr.McCarthy left his home at twenty minutes past three in the morning to extinguish the lamps on his beat.Mrs.McCarthy was the other sole occupant of the house.A few minutes after his leaving, the fire broke out in a vacant bedroom in the rear of the building.Mrs.McCarthy was rescued in an unconscious state from the smoke.The damage is estimated at some four hundred dollars, and no reason can Le assigned for the cause of the fire.The Fire Commission held an enquete this morning as to the cause of the fire, but it still remains a mystery.The enquete is to be continued, on account of the illness of Mrs.McCarthy, who has not vet recovered from the shock.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A WELCOME DENTAL.The lawyers appointed to draft a new city charter and submit the same to the City Council to pass verdict upon have got through a considerable

suggesting that the city should be allowed to horrow five million dollars more, the matter was enquired into by a reporter this morning and it was found-\u2014according to one of the three lawyers\u2014that the rumor was untrue.pe THE STENOGRAPHERS.The French stenographers still com- tinue on strike and seem to feel confident that the new comers called in to take their places will not give satisfaction.Two cases in point have occurred to jus- tifv their pretension to a considerable extent.Yesterday the depositions taken down by a lady stenographer were not found satisfactory, and again this morning ancther newcomer who had commenced a case did not turn up.In both instances the judge authorized old official stenographers to take the evidence al their own figure.ee MUST BE HEARD

for increased pay.The former want a raise from twenty-four dollars to thirty dollars per monsh.During the season of navigation they received twenty-four dollars and board, and while fitting out or laving up the steamers they received a dollar and a quarter per day and board themaeelves.The deck hands demand twenty dollars rer month and board instead of sixteen dollars and board, which they are
