banks could form.The trees are planted 25 or 30 feet from the rails in 5 to 7 lines, lines 5 feet ; apart, and the plants a foot and à haif apart in: the rows.Tho three inner lines are planted with, trees, and the outer ones with conifers, or shrubs.' .This system is said to protect very perfectly tho, roads during the gales on the steppes.The snow is whirled in heaps back of and among the trees extent, HORSE BREAKING.O.R.GLEASON, whose exhibitions in New York of his talent in taming vicious horses, particularly of the Canadian stallion, has excited so much interest, gave at one of his late entertainments a few hiuts as to horse-breaking.He said : Never buy a horso that has long ears, with long straight hair iuside them ; that is narrow\u2019 between the ears and between the eyes, has flat round eyes in sunken orbits, and whose nostrils are small and thick, for he will certainly prove to bo a beast of small intelligence, hard to teach, incapable of remembering, and liablo to be obstinate, just us stupid persons are.And do not buy the horse that is narrow at the top of the\u2019 head, bulging between the eycs, and has a sunken, dish-like face between them, for he is sure to be vicious and treacherous.But take the horse that has short ears, with short, curly | hair inside them; that is broad between the, ears and cyes, with a regular, straight faco, and large thin nostrils, for in him you will find an | intelligent, spirited, yet willing servant aud faithful friend, if you will only treat him right- < When you begin to train your young horse do it with mingled firmness and kinduess You must first make him fear, then love you.Set him free iu a large box-stall or other enclosure, and go into him with a whip in your hand.When he turns his heels toward you lush him When he turns his head toward you, throw the whip back under your left arm, extend your right hand toward him, and say, \u2018Come here.\u2019 hen he comes to you, pet him and speak approvingly and cncouragingly to him.Aud\u2019 when you caress him, do not pat his mane, for he does not like that.Pat his neck where it is freo from the mane, and the points of his shoulder and his breast.When he does well, give him an apple or a bit of sugar or a carrot.He likes those things, and will be grateful for them, and feel encouraged to try to please you.You cannot make too much of a pet of him.Do not give your kindness to him grudgingly, but meet him full half way.Never let him see that you are afraid of him.When you approach him do not do so timidly, saying.\u2018Whoa, Whoa,\u2019 over and over, while he stands still staring at you and wondering what the mischief is the matter with you, but go straight and promptly right up to his head.When you speak to him, giving an order, do so in a commanding tone of voice, and always give exactly the same order for a thing; let that order express clearly and exactly what you mean, and impress upon his mind that whatever it is it must be instantly obeyed.Never say \u2018Whoa,\u2019 to him only when you waut him to stop motion instantly.If you only mean that he should slacken his speed, say, \u2018Easy, or \u2018Slow, or \u2018Steady,\u2019 as you may prefer, but always the same, whichever itis.Never be unnecessarily cruel with him in even the smallest degree, aud never lose your temper.If your horse has vices, consequent upon the bad handling somebody has given him before you got him, break him of them, and remember whenever you undertake to break a horse you must go to the finish and conquer him, or your attempt will only do serious harm instead of good.As a rule, cord bridles, throwing a horse, the double safety rope and the lifting of his hind feet by means of a rope hitched pulley fashion to his tail, will subdue a horse speedily, and, if repeated a few times, will break him of almost any bad habits.But there is no one metliod of universal applicability in dealing with horses.There is almost as much differences between horses as between their owners.Different horses require ditfercnt methods of training, different appliances, and different handling.Consequently, tho trainer must study each individual case on its own merits, and, having made up his mind to what is required, must stick to it until the horse is conquered.Do not use a blinder bridle in training your horse.It is not sensible, A horse\u2014especially if he is nervous\u2014is much more likely to Le alarmed by the sound of things he cannot sce than by the sight of things he caunut under- and a little girl let mo in.stand.In fact, it is a foolish thing to make a horse wear blinders under any circumstances.When you throw a horse down do not du itin a hurry.Tho tackle you have on him gives you the strength of 4 or 5 mon, but he dues not understand that.All you have to dois to wait after you have put him on his knees, keep him from rising again, and hold his head firmly toward his near shoulder, and after a little while he must come down.But let him wrestle and! try his strength for awhile, and he will be all the more impressed with your superiority and the; fact that you have overcome him fairly.When you let him up, pet him; speak kindly to him; make him feel that, although you are his master! you are also his friend, and have no intention of | harming him.If he is loath to get up after being thrown, blow in his car, and if that does not make him spring to his feet, blow a mouthful of water at his car.j Never use eruel bits.In training a horse it: may be necessary to put on cord bridles, the Eurcka or even the Bonaparte, but their use is only temporary.The former does little more than give him something to occupy his attention largely while you are doing something to him that he might rebel against if free from that restraint.The latter, however, .is severe, and gives you full control of him by the force it exerts on the angles of the mouth and upper jaw,\u2019 sity for such cruel means of permanent restraint as those merciless bits that tear a horse's jaws apart and mangle his gums and teeth.Train your horse intelligently and you will never require afterward to put in his mouth anything more than a straight bar bit, the use of whic is simply to convey to his mind a ready intimation of your wishes, that he will be willing and prompt in obeying.Never.bang a horse over the heador on his shins with a club or a loaded whip.It is never necessary, and the man who would do it deserves to be whipped in the same way himself.THE RIGHT SPIRIT.WE do not doubt that the following touching little story is quite true, There is a lesson and a moral in it for boys and girls disposed to shirk even the light duties imposed upon them in the way of \u201cchores\u201d and errands, Think of this courageous little fellow taking upon himself the responsibilities of the head of a family, and so manfully discharging them ! \u2018Oh, yes, I have al kinds of tenants,\u2019 said a kind-faced old gentleman ; \u2018but the one I like the best is a child not more than ten years of age.A fow years ago I got a chance to buya piece of land over on the West Side, and did so.I noticed that there was an old coop of a house on it, but paid no attention to it.After awhile a man came to me and wanted to know if I would rent it to him.\u2018What do you waut it for ?said I.\u2018To live in) he replied.\u201cWell; [ said, \u2018you can have it.Pay me what you think it is worth to you! \u2018The first month he brought two dollars, and the second month à little boy, who said he was the man's son, came with three dollars.After that I saw the man once and a while, but in the course of time the boy paid the rent regularly, sometimes two dollars and sometimes thres dollars.One day I asked the boy what had be-, come of his father.| \u2018He's dead, sir,\u2019 was the reply.\u2018Is that so ?said I.\u2018How long since \u2018More'n a year,\u2019 he answered.\u2018I took his money, but I made up my mind that I would go over and investigate, and the next day I drove over there, The old shed looked quite decent.I knocked at the door, I asked for her mother, \u2018Where is she ?' said I.\u2018We don\u2019t know, sir.She went away after my father died, and we've never seen her since.\u2018Just then a little girl about three years old come in, and | learned that these three children had been keeping house for a year and a half, the boy supporting his two little sisters by blacking boots and selling newspapers, and the elder girl managing the house and taking care of the baby.) The next time the boy came with the rent I said, \u2014 \u2018My boy, you're a little man! You keep right on a3 you have begun, and you will never be sorry.Keep your little sisters together, and never leave them.Now look at this.\u2018I showed him a ledger in which I had entered up all the money that he had paid me for rent, and I told him it was all his with interest, \u2018You keep right on,\u2019 says I, \u2018and I'll be your banker, and when this amounts to a little more I'll see that you get a house somewhere of your own, That's the kind of tenant to have.\u2014Chicago Herald.PREPARE FOR SUMMER, 1.CLEAR out the cellars, Remove all rubbish that interferes with the freest circulation of the mir.Let no remnants of the winter's vegetables remain to decompose into poisonous gases.Seo that there is no leakage beneath the floor from the sewage pipes, and that no neighbor's broken drain is emptying its offal there, Now is the time to replace all wooden floors \u2014sources of danger\u2014with good cement.See that provision is made for the most thorough ventilation, Remember that the air of the cellar circulates through the whole house, even to the attics, and that it should be as pure and sweet as that of the parlor.2.Sec that the pipes from the sinks are in good order, not only sound in every part, but furnished with reliable traps that cut off the ingress into the house of noxious gases, and still more noxious microbes, from the main sewer.If an occasional flushing with a full head of hot water has hitherto heen neglected, ¥ begin now, and continue it through the season, | from time to time following it by the use of a strong solution of chloride of lime, nr copperas (sulphate of iron), for the purpose of killing all bacterial life within them.3.If there are pumps or wells on the premises, make sure that no surface water outers them ; and if they are within one hundred feet of a cesspool, or stable, or cow-yard, abandon the use of the water for cooking or drinking\u2014 and that, too, even though the surface of the ground around the well or pump may be considerably higher.It is the bottom of the fur- mer that is to be compared with the surface of the latter.Cleanliness everywhere is the great essential to good health in summer.Cleanliness about the premises is the only means by which the air can be kept pure, and impure air in summer readily becomes a poison.CANADA.Halifax, May 25 \u2014Io an address to be issued | warmest advochtes of Confederation in 1867 are now the most outspoken in their expressions of hostility to it.After the failure of tho repeal agitation of 1807-9 to accomplish its main pur- ose, the people settled down, not very cheer- ully it must be admitted, to make the best of the situation.\u2018Give the union a fair trial, and tho verdict against it is more emphatic than before.We were assured by the fathers of Confederation that the affairs of the Dominion could be carried on for twenty years or more at an annual cost of cleven or twelve million dollars, equal to #3 or less per head of the population.The expenditure the first ycar was nearly thirtcon and a half millions, and it has becn increasing Ly leaps aud bounds until it now exceeds the cnormous sum of thirty-five million dollars, The interest and charges in connection with the public debt alone absorb nearly as much as, wo are told, would pay the total expense of tho government.Who Is there in Nova Scotia that will say that this vast in- creaso of public expondituro, of which our people bear their fall share, has brought corresponding benefit to our province ?At an Ontario farmers\u2019 meeting, Robert Me- Konzie read a paper on \u201cThe Canada thistle and how to kill it.\u201d He had tried several ex- pedionts, such as plowing the piece every fow weeks all summer, which had not the dosired effect.A hoed crop had not been any more successful.In each case the thistles wore thinned and weakened, but were not by any means conquered From observing that where , the ground had been plowed the thistles were thinner, he concluded to try that plan with the summer allowing.Ho tried plowing his summer fallow about the 20th «of June instead of the end of May.The thisties were then a fout and & hall high and knotted for blomn He ploughed them under not very deeply, but cutting the furrow well out.He turned it over pretty flat and dragged down all the weods so that à green top was not to be sven.The thistles then had the appearances of growing wrong end up.He harrowed it in two wecks, He harrowed and ploughed again in July and in August.Fitting it about the 10th of September for fall wheat and seceding it down for grass, By this method he had fairly mastered bis thistles, Winnipeg, May 25.\u2014 Louis Riel's widow died at her home, St Vital, yesterday about noon, Her remains have been interred near those of her husband in the Cathedral cemotery at St Boniface.La Justice of Quebec appeared in the deepest mourning for the death of the widow of Louis Riel, the late leader of the rebellion in the Northwest.Despatches from Louisburg show tht the crew of tho wrecked William Law had a remarkably narrow escapo of all being drowned.Sho was one the finost specimens of Novia Scotin\u2019s merchant marine, and had a fairly fino passago from Ilavre, during which, however, one of hor crew foll from alott and was killed.When sho came on Cape Breton Coast a dense fog sot in, but soundings every half hour showed she was in deep wator.All of a sudden the ory vbreakers shead\u201d ran through the vessol, and 8 minute later she was dashing on and off tho rocks of one of Nova Scotia's wildest and most dreaded aninhabiled spots where, many years ago, the man.f-war was dashed to pieces and 325 souls wore burled to thoirdoom.A similar fate threatened tho crew of the William Law when the heroic secoi \\d mato leaped overboard with a small line, and a1 Yer being badly bruised and oxhausted reached a large rock.By this means n atrong rope was ashore from the wreck and made fast around the rock by which all but two of the crew wore got safoly ashore, after many thrilling adventares sad narrow escpes.The two ill fated men were 1'he stoward and cook.The former got entangled in the ropes just after leaving the wreck and wae washed away.Tho latter was almost saved, was only a few feet from the rock of safety, when the wreck gave a sudden lurch and swung the doomed man in the air, then into a watery grave.It was the most heartronding sight, but the saved men on tho rock were powerless to help their shipmate.The survivors lost everything and are ina destitute condition.Halifax, May 24.\u2014The fisheries is by all odds the most important industry in the Provinces, and with proper protection and development it will becomo vustly more important than it is now.To duy 60.000 Cunndiuns are dircetly on- nged in this ndustry, employing some 1.200 vos- sels and 13.000 bonts\u2014 not to npeak of the number of people directly employed.But this ix nothing compured to the prospective sdeantages to Canudu.We hold the key tn the fisheries of the New Worki, and if trae to ourselves at thin crisis, we rhull monopmlize this vast industry in the fu

flashing skipper out of Gloucester, says: \u201cUp to five years ago when I retired from the fishing my first trip from Gloucester was cod- fishing and second trip mackereling every year.Now the two branches are kept more distinct.The mackerel are very largely caught inside the three-mile limit, especi around Prince Edward Island, in Bay Chaleurs and North Bay.Mackerel follow the shore,and without goin, inside the three-mile limit the New Englan schooners would not get half fares.In my time, whenever we came into Gloucester with our fares, Collector Babson was very anxious for us to say we got meat of the mackerel outside the three-mile limit, aithough he knew this was not true.I told him that I would not make oath to a lie, as nearly all the mackerel were got inside the line.I have no hesitation in saying even now that our mackerel tisheries are being destroyed by purse reines, Fully seven- eighths of the fish in the United States market are caught inside our three-mile limit.I do not mean inside headlands only, but inside the limit following the shore.I nee New Fngland- ers claim the right under permit to touch and trade to como into Canadian ports and ship bait or take other cargo, in fact, to be traders, this they ask a foreign country to do what they will not permit the sume vessels to do at home.A schooner sailing under fishing license would not permitted to carry a barrel of flour from Boston to Gloucester, so rigid isthe restriction the United States authorities draw between traders and fishermen.Yetall at once thoy wish to sweep away all previous rules and make fishermen and traders alike.As to the privilege of buying bait, 1 say as a Gloucester fisherman and skipper for many years, that if tho New Englanders ave deprived of this privilege the only fisheries open to them are their own played-out shore fisheries.Tho Gloucester men could not in the past fish on the banks without getting bait in British ports, nor can it be done now, Sceing this I cannot understand why the provincialists should share our baiting privi.eges with our New England rivals and at the samo time be debarred from their market.The Apaches have broken up into small bands,

parliament was to be prorogued yesterday.Among ils last acts was the passage of an amendment to the customs\u2019 act, prohibiting the manufacture and importation of oleomargarine, It is some inconsistent that a government which is quite clear as to the constitutionality of prohibiting a substance whose only demerit is that it is palmed upon the pub- li.for the genuine article, butter, should so hesitate about prohibiting what is injurious bath in itself and its consequences\u2014whisky.THE bribe offered by Sir John Macdonald to his followers from this province to vote the increased subsidy to the Pacific railway, was granting Quebec $2,394,000 to reimburse it for the expenditure in building the North Shore railway, which was classed as a federal work.The condition on which the grant wag made, was that only the interest be paid Quebec.Last week Treasurer Robertson introduced a bill -authorizing the province to draw the full amount and add it to the fund for paying the public debt.He stated that the Dominion government was anxious to make this new arrangement, because it could borrow the money at 4 per cent, while it was paying the province 5.The opposition thought the money was safer at Ottawa than Quebec, and that it was preferable to continue to draw the interest, and moved an amendment to that effect, which was voted down by 37 to 14.Dr Cameron voted with the minority.The province will likely, therefore, soon be paid the lump sum.On the same evening the opposition moved a vote of want of confidence relative to the Dan- sereau affair in purchasing books for the library.The government's defence was that the act was that of their predecessors, to which it was replied, that did not exonerate them from calling Dansereau to account on their becoming acquainted with the facts.The motion was defeated by 38 to 16.Dr Cameron again sided with the opposition.On Monday a comical incident arose out of Mr Robidoux's moving for a copy of the letter Geo.H.Allen about some land in the Eastern Townships.With suspiciousalacrity Mr Lynch produced the letter, stating, amid a roar of laughter, that he \u201cdid not see there was any importance in the letter except the postscript, in which Mr Allen, who was one of the most respected and consistent Liberals in the county, wrote, Hang any man that mentions the name of Riel in the house this session.\u201d On Tuesday Mr Marchand moved a vote of censure on thé govenment for applying the sinking-fund authorized in 1874 to the current expenses of last year] Treasurer Robertson acknowledged that the letter of the law had been broken, but contended the spirit of it had been adhered to, as by pursuing the course that had been taken the credit of the province had been \" maintained.He would not bave acted as he had done had he not known that the Ottawa government was going to pay the $2,394,000 referred to above.Dr Cameron rose to explain the vote he intended to give.He said: He resented the abuse heaped upon him by the Opposition in previous debates and declared once more his conviction that the economies had been effected which the Treasurer bad claimed in his last budget speech, and complimented the Government upon being\u2014the Joly Cabinet excepted\u2014the best Government the Province had bad for many years, but at the same time he could not approve of their financial policy and thought that for party purposes, in the present as in other repects, they were shouldering and suffering for the sins of their predecessors.He would, thercfore, have to vote for Mr Marchand\u2019s motion.After a prolonged debate the vote was taken, when the government was sustained by 26 of a majority.No sooner was this motion of want-of-confidence disposed of, than another was moved, a paltry one, complaining that re- _ pairs to the Sherbrooke jail and courthouse had been paid by the province instead of assessed on the district, the implication being that Treasurer Robertson had favoredhisconstituency.The motion was defeated by 43 to 14, Dr \u2018Cameron voting against it.+ Although there is really very little business * requiring to be done to wind up the session, the'fime of the house is so frittered away by motions of want-of-confidence and endless talk, that it is not known when it will rise.Mr Mercier has another bunkum resolution about the Northwest rebels on the paper, which may entail a prolonged debate.A very important bill has been\u201d introduced by the ministry, the object of which is to commute the subsidies granted to railways in past years in the shape of grants of land, for cash.The companies find the laad to be unsaleable and valueless in amisting to build their roads and are willing to give it up for small cash bonuses.The it is estimated, will add 2} million dollars to the debt of the province.a Tux debate on home-rule it is expected will ond to-morrow.Mr Gladetone is leaving nothing wadene to-earry the second reading of the Bom oven gone so far as to ask those opposed to the bill to vote for it on the strength of his assurance that, on receiving its second reading, he will withdraw it and reintroduce next session amended to meet their views.Representations of this kind, backed by his great personal influence, is having much effect with the rank and file of bis discontented followers, but, despite all, it is believed the bill will be rejected.Should the majority be small, Mr Gladstone will ask for à dissolution ; if large, the Queen will be justified in calling upon Lord Hartington to form a new ministry.The heart and soul of the opposition to Mr Gladstone's scheme is the great radical leader, Chamberiain, and from a speech delivered by him on Tuesday it is evident he cannot be conciliated.While part of his views will receive the endorsation of few, his stand with regard to Ulster redounds to bis honor.In his speech he plainly stated that under no circumstances would he consent to the Protestants of Ireland being left to the tender mercies of the majority, because, he went on to explain, The Catholic Church, by its tenets and by its faith was bound not to be content with equality.(Cries of \u201cNo! No!\") Members of Ireland say \u201cno.\u201d Here is a pamphlet written by the Prime Minister on \u201cVaticanism,\u201d in which he says: \u201cTo secure civil rights has been the aim of Christian civilization, while tv destroy them and to re-establish resistless domineering action as a central power is the aim of the Roman policy.\u201d That was absolute truth.If it was worth while to carry the argument further he could give statements which Catholic bishops recently made to the same effect.Was Ulster not justified in fearing attack on its material interests when the Nationalist papers were describing the Belfast linen industries as one of the curses of the country.He had seen a series of articles in the Irish press in which the linen manufacturers were denounced, but after all the question was not whether these fears were well founded or the reverse.They existed.The practical question was, Would parliament give effect to them ?The time had come when the government ought to say whether there is in Ulster or in a portion of Ulster (hear, hear,) such a predominating sentiment as deserves separate consideration, and whether they will devise a system to give the position of Ulster such consideration.Why had the resistance of the Protestants of Ulster been stigmatized as unpatriotic?Was it because they were proud of belonging to the great empire, and opposed to being cut adrift from long familiar associations as members of the United Kingdom?In defending Ulster, he was governed Ly no religious bitterness.THE dispute regarding the fisheries remains without change.Revenue cutters are now cruising along the coast and preventing Ameri- -|cans from fishing within the 3-mile limit or buying bait.While the Americans insist fon poaching upon our waters, it is edifying to read a despatch that the revenue cruiser Dix had put into Cedar Keys on Sunday with the Spanish fishing smack Clotilde, of Havana, which she captured off Anclote Key, Florida, for violating the fishery laws by fishing within a league of the American shore.The Americans have no mind to measure out to others the privileges they claim to themselves.Congress has passed a bill designed to punish Canada for daring to maintain the integrity of its boundaries.The bill enacts that the President shall suspend all concessions granted to the vessels of any country which bas withdrawn like privileges to American boats; the penalty against foreigners breaking the regulation being forfeiture of the vessel and 3800 fine with two years\u2019 imprisonment in aggravated cases.As Canadian fishermen do not buy bait, ice, or other supplies, nor cast nets in American waters, the bill is simply stage thunder.The U.S.tariff being framed on Chinese lines, there is really no privilege or concession left to its government to withhold from foreiguers.Of this an instance was furnished last week.On the Queen's birthday à Nova Scotian smack sailed into Portland and her skipper

for ordination; and his exercises being satisfactory the court agreed to proceed, at 2 p.m, to his ordination and induction, Meanwhile the Presbytery granted transferences applied for by Mr John H.Graham and Mr Donald McLean, candidates for license; and also agreed to apply to the General Assembly for leave to take Mr Archibald Ogilvie, B.A, of Georgetown congregation, upon trials for license.Calls were authorized to be moderated in Stanley street church, Montreal, and in the congregation lately erected at Cote St Antoine.A call from Sherbrooke to Mr Lee of Russeltown was received from the Presbytery of Quebec, and order was taken to have the question of translation decided at next ordinary meeting of Presbytery of Montreal, on tho 6th uly.The ordination and induction of Mr Hugh McLean took place at the time appointed.Mr Leitch preached, Mr Rowat presided, Mr Muir addressed the minister, and Mr Lee the people.The service was solemn, instructive, and elevating.The members of the congregation were well out and appeared to give a hearty welcome to the minister of their choice.It is to be hoped that the pastoral relation thus formed will long continue and result in much good, especially to the district of LaGuerre.A FIRST SETTLER.ARCHIBALD ADAMS, who died on Monday, was one of the few .who saw this country in a state of nature.He came to it in 1825, when he was a boy of 13 years of age.His father, who was a stone-mason, got work at Laprairio, and he came on to Huntingdon to livé with an uncle, John Armstrong, who had squatted some time before on the lot now held by James Cowan, Hinchinbrook.There was a cluster of clearances newly begun on the river, Hamilton, Gardner, Hawes, Peake, and the Armstrongs, and there was every prospect of their doing well, when the then agent for the seigniory, Colonel Brown, by an iniquitous trick, robbed the three last-named of their improvements, and compelled their removal.By this time lots on the Gore had begun to be granted, and Thomas Foster had led the way.The ejected settlers determined to move alongside of him, and did so, following a track that led through the farms of John Muir and Nelson Kelly, and which, during the greater part of the year, was passable only on foot.Owing to their isolated condition, having no outlet in any direction, the privations of the settlers on the Gors were severe beyond those of others.Their only means of subsistence at first depended upon the sale of potash, and their labor in getting a barrel of it out to the river, where it was shipped by canoe to the Basin, was incredible.After a while a more solid track was opened by following the ridge to the Hinchinbrook.Their or this village.The usual course, when a bit of land was cleared, was to plant potatoes and corn, followed ty wheat in the fall, after which rye was raised.Mr Adams said he saw rye 6 feet high on land that is now the poorest on the concession.It was used for making bread.Although there was often a bareness before the new crop was available, the pinch of scarcity was only felt in 1837, the year after the failure of the crops from the memorable August frost.On the low lauds of the Gore there was a splendid cut of oak and the finest of pine and elm, which, if left, would have been worth more than the land is to-day.It was taken out by Moreau and Hatch chiefly, neither of whom profited by it.Young Adams bore his full share in the labors of those early days, though he did not intend to make farming his main dependence, for on his father's coming from Laprairie he worked with him at his trade, and became the best known mason in this section, the foundations and houses he built during his long life being without number.He built St Paul's volunteers and was present at the bungled affair at Baker's, Quiet, sober, industrious and persevering, he waaa good specimen of a North of Ireland man, and his influence was always on the right side.When the Athelstan congrega-

was set to work on Monday and the roads are receiving a much needed repair.Boyd & Co.have issued their first catalogue, a handsome pamphlet of 28 pages.The number of implements and machines made by them is surprising, and there is hardly anything that is needed by the farmer which cannot be furnished by them.The shops at present are busy in completing tnowers and rakes for the coming season and getting threshing mills ready.Their new implement, a hay-tedder, is a novelty in this section, and its adoption will prove a great labor-saver as well as securing the hay against many of the contingencies of the wea- her.For clover it is indispensable.The firm are preparing to build a new moulding-shop as soon as the hurry is over.It wili be of brick, and in keeping with their fine

and admirably suited to the purpose for which it is designed.They expect the milk of 300 cows, and will probably get more when it is known that they have secured the services of a first- class butter maker\u2014Mr Ii Dawson.One glance into the factory is sufficient to prove that Mr Dawson thoroughly understands his business, his work is done in a skilful and orderly manner, and should he continue throughout the sca- son as he bas commenced, nothing but a-first- butter factory.As Captain Milne was out last week getting the time the horse started.SF Factory men report a short make of rtly owing to farmers keep- rice, aud partly to cows bein in coming in.Up to the mid- nthe eastern part of Cha- feaugs , particularly in St Chrysostome, there has been unprecedented mortality among cows and a large number have proved farrow.The cause is ascribed to the poor pastures in the fall and, owing to the deficiency in hay, feeding straw exclusively, so that they were spring- poor.In Huntingdon a great many colts have died within a day or two after foaling.S&F Meetings of thecreditors of George Long, Dundes, and of A.Cousinean, Valleyfield, are announced.Although the village paid Mr Sullivan for defining the limits of the streets, and it was sup- erable trouble experienced since, partly owing which everybody who goes to the railway- station has a painful example in the crooked sidewalk between the academy and the depot.To settle a dispute as to the limits of Lake street, Mr Edwards was called in, with the result of finally settling the lines of it.The result has been that the street at its southern end has been not only straightened but considerably widened and the corporation has promptly acted upon the proces-verbal by giving Daniel Miller the job of making the road-bed, which he has doing in a most workmanlike manner.The street promises to bo one of the best in the vil- age.On Monday slight changes were made in the time-table of the mixed-train : Gorna EAsr\u2014Thoe Train

intention of the government to grant a representative in the Senate to the French minority of 100,000 souls in Ontario, Sir John Macdonald said the government wags perfectly aware of the importance and numbers of the French Canadians in the Province of Ontario.Of course the government Samuel Brown has could not, without breach of their oaths of office, say what advice they were going to give to

ion : That the expenditure of the Dominion of Canada in the year ending the 30th June, 1878, was 823,- 503,158, and tho expenditure for the year 1884 was $34,101,776.That the expenditure for the fiscal year 1885 was $39,037,000, including $1,700,000 for war expenses.The estimated expenditure for the present year ending 30th June, is $38,120,403, in- What is unpre- cluding 83,400,000 for war expenses, That the estimated expenditure for the year ending 30th June, 1887, is 834,000,000, exclusive of supplementary estimates, which may be pro- osed next session.That the fixed charges for interest, sinking fund, subsidies, together with the charges for the collection of revenue, amounted to $16,970,647 for the fiscal year 1878, while the similar charges for the year 1885 are 822,442,231 and for 1886 they are estimated at $22,680,469, and at $23,079,082 for 1887.That the total taxation for the fiscal year 1878 was $17,841,000, and for 1885 it was $25,384,000, That the estimated taxation for the current year posed his lines were final, there has been consid- i® $26,000,000, and for 1887 it is $27,200,000.That the actual deficit for the fiscal year 1885 was $2,240,000, including, as aforesaid, $1,700,700 for war expenses, and the deficit for 1886 ia estimated at $4,900,000, including 83,400,000 for war expenses.hat the growth of taxation and expenditure from 1878 to 1886 is out of all proportion to the growth of trade and population and has attained such dimensions as greatly to hamper and impede the progress of the Dominion, and that the lavish outlay and methods of expenditare and indifference to the increased liabilities on the part of the government during the above mentioned period have contributed very largoly to corrupt and demoralize the public service and to impair the independence ot parliament.À vote was taken, without any reply being attempted from the other side, resulting in 36 yeas to 70 nays.FRIDAY.On the subsidies to railways being considered the clause was read\u2014 To the Canada Atlantic Railway Company, for twelve miles of their railway from Clark\u2019s Island to Valleyfiold and from Lacollo, in the Province of Quobec, to the international boundary, a eub- sidy not oxcceding 83,200 por mile, nor exceeding in the whole $38,400.Sir John A.Macdonald.This railway extends from the Chaudiere, in the city of Ottawa, passing through Coteau Landing and Valleyfield, to the international boundary.It was commenced some years ago, and so far as it has been operated, has been a great benefit to the city of Ottawa.The section of three miles, extending from Elgin street to Chaudiere street, It is now proposed to grant a subsidy of $3,200 on that section of two miles from Clark\u2019s Island to Valley- field, and ten miles from Lacolle to the international boundary, which is bot yet constructed.Mr Shanly.The result of the whole word.ing of this resolution is correct, but it is not very clear.lt is proposed to subsidise twelve miles, but the wording of it is very misleading.That the Canada Atlantic has twelve miles of a railway, from Clark's Island to Valleyfield, is not correct.Mr Blake.Would it not be well to say, tor twelve miles of their railway, being the portion from Clark's Island to Valleyfield, and the portion from Lacolle, in the Province of Quebec, to the international boundary\u2014two different portions ?A BATOCHE HERO.In the west transept of St James\u2019 cathedral, Toronto, there has been erected a tablet to one who in life was known to bo a devoted Christian, and in death is revered as having ended his earthly career in & brave and heroic defence of the country which gave him bigth.Lieut.W.C.Fitch left this city with the Royal Grenadiers at the time of the Riel rebellion last year.He suffered the hardships which were cheerfully endured by all the members of that regiment in reaching the scene of action.Kind and gentle in times of peace, he was brave in the hour of national danger and was beloved by the members of his company.He was killed on May 12th, 1885, at the commencement of the successful attack on Batoche, the stronghold of the enemy.He was leading No, 3 company against the rebels when he fell fatally shot.By order of the Dominion Government the remains after beingembalmed at Winnipeg were brought to Toronto and handed over to the sorrowing parents.The deceased was the only son of Mr J.C.Fitch, of Fitch & Davidson, On May 27th, when the last sad rites were performed and all that was mortal of the dead soldier was laid beneath the sod, the populace of Toronto and surrounding country did honor to his memory, and the occasion was commemorated ws une of no ordinary importance.The officers of the Royal Grenadiers on the return of the regiment determined to erect a tablet to the memory of their fallen comrade.Yesterday memorial services were held in St James\u2019 Cathedral, and thé fitting tribute which had been placed in that building was unveiled.The tablet is very neat and substantial.It consists of à large brass plate, beautifully engraved, set in a slab of black marble.The inscription, which is engraved in the brass in red and black letters, reads as follows : IN MEMORIAM, RoYAL GRENADIERS, LIEUTENANT WILLIAM CHARLES FITCH, Killed in action at Batoche, N.W.1', May 12, 1883.KiND, GENTLE AND BRAVE.dulce et decorum pro patria mor: Erected by his Brother Officers.At ten o'clock on Sunday morning the Royal Grenadiers mustered at the Qucen\u2019s park to parade to the church and attend the memorial service.The turnout was a large one.Headed by the band, the regiment marched down to the cathedral, where a section of the ground floor had been reserved for them.When the service was commenced an immense congregation was present.Rev H.P.Hobson read morning prayer, The sermon was preached by Rev A.H.Baldwin, who took* his text from Deuteronomy xxxi., 7:\u2014\u201cBe strong and of good courage.\u201d The rev.gentleman said that courage which was inseparably connected with the true soldier was far from being confined to him, When they look back to the past and think of the liberty of the present they find that every phase of life owes its present welfare to the courage and fervour of those people whom God from time to time raised up to carry things to the end which He Himself had in view, Moses tells Joshua, who is to be the leader of God\u2019s people, to be strong and of good courage.He who-orders that men should be courageous must be that hiroself.He must let his men know that he will not only not desert them in the time of danger but will lead them on to victory.Joshua was a glorious example of & commander, and at the close of his life when he asked if there was aught against him, the people as well as the soldiers said that he was not only a great commander but a noble and holy man.Some people asked why God permitted His people to wander so long in the the desert, That was done to raise the people to better things, God places a nation in trouble and affliction in order that they may trust Him, and know that all good things and all blessings are in his own glorious giving.He allows trouble, trials and afflictions in order that He may bend our hearts to Himself and make us a better people, truly and honestly serving our God.Fair Canada was not an exception to this rule, The Fenian invasions and the Northwest rebellion were but means which God Almighty used to bring this nation nearer and closer to Him.God had laid these things upon us, and we can look back and see that they are the outcome of His love and mercy.In the latter, as in the former case, the trouble brought forth a true response from the sons of Canada to the call of duty.Could anyone who looked back upon the bravery of those who went forth fail to see their courage?God knows how this spirit prevailed then.God knows how this spirit exalted us, and what new heroism has been given to the youth of the land.That time would be ever looked upon with thanks-giving to God.That which gave new confidence and true patriotism to the nation was a cause for rejoicing.Canada wasshown to be not simply a country of churches, a country of congregations, but a country of people who believe in God above all other\u2014who acknowledge one God, one Saviour, and one Holy Spirit.There came out that which God himself intended.The volunteers themselves felt new spirit and power given them, and new earnestness in prayer.There was a new richness in the last service they were permitted to attend before embarking and there was a new desire for daily supplication to God.And when the victory came at last, they felt that under God's blessing they had been given the strength and power necessary for the struggle.Ho believed that every individual soldier who went to the Northwest, needed as much pluck and courage as if he had been upon the field of Waterloo.They could thank God for what was past, and feel that he had worked good out of what appeared to them to be only unmitigated evil.ut their were some who never returned.It was there duty and privilege to acknowledge the noble sacrifice and courage which give the soldier the sweetness of dying for his coun- :try's honor and for his country\u2019s God.In that church, where their forefathers had worshipped Almighty God, one more tablet had been erected.It had been placed there by the offi- cers of the Royal Grenadiers as a mark of af-, foction and Kindness towards their departed brother.They had placed one more tablet and one more name upon those venerable walls.He trusted that it would not only be ed : as an expression of love and kindness, but that it might tell the sons of Canadas in the future of one who was not only a brave and noble! soldier but a true man, serving his God as well | as his country.From the time he (the prescher) knew Lieut.Fitch, he had given himself up, as a true soldier of Christ.romised that he would be a true son of his Heavenly Father and fight against the world, the flesh and the devil.Before the battle of Batoche he told each of his men to examine himself and see if he was prepared to meet his God.Such was the character of that man.He had not only courage in the battle, but moral strength.It was not only in the great battles but in the smaller engagements with the thousand and one little sins that courage was needed.He trusted that his hearers would be true not only to their Queen and country, but to their Great Commander, so that in the end they would hear the words\u2014\u201cWell done, good and faithfal servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord.\u201d At the conclusion of the service the regiment marched to the armory, where they were dis- »missed.~Toronto Mail.[Lieut.Fitch was a nephew of Mrs Barrett's of this, village and second cousin to Julius Scriver, M.P., and from his visits to them became known to many in Hemmingford and

delegate said he regretted that Canada had not given to the Salvation army a portion of the money which the Dominion spent in killing the Riel rebels.If the money had been given to the army the rebels might have been converted and saved, and Riel himself might have been now a major in the army.Miss Booth testified that the French and Swiss members of the Salvation army were among the most solid and

anprecedented in its \u2018magnitude, and that it is constantly increasing, the cause being poverty and distress.The death of Madame Riel, the widow of the late leader of the half breed revolt, has given another impetus to the Parti National in their political crusade against the Government.All the French Canadian opposition papers come out with emblems of mourning, while they devote long articles to the \u201cSecond Crime\u201d of the Macdonald ministry.La Justice of Quebec says: The widow of our martyr of the 16th of November died yesterday at St Vital, provided with all the sacraments of her religion.She will be buried on Saturday alongside of her husband in the cemetery of St Vital.Mgr.Taché will perform the funeral ceremony.Everybody here attributes her death to Her great grief at seeing the father of her children and the chieftain of his nation ascend the scaffold as a victim of orange fanaticism.In her anguish Mrs Riel had had one supreme consolation in learning of the universal mourning and receiving the profound tributes of sympathy which were sent to her from every part of the Province of Quebec.But when the very ones who bad been the first to weep over the death of her husband, began little by little to forsake this sacred cause, Mrs Riel declared that she ardently\u2019 hoped that God would call her to Heaven and take from her lips before having drunk its full contents the bitter cup of humiliation.It is then that death came slowly but surely.For some time back the retrograding movement which her former sympathisers in Quebec were now engaged in was hidden from her, and she never learned of the vote of the Legislative Assembly of your Province when you refused to express regret for the political crime of the 16th of November.Let us ask all who have remained faithful to our cause to join their prayers to ours for the repose of the soul of Mrs Riel.No person knows what will become of the children of the martyr, but we will aid them as much asit is in our power to do so.There are now at St Vital, in the Province of Manitoba, two little orphans.Their father was torn from them andfmurdered by the Federal Government of Canada ; their mother has died of grief.Are you satisfied, Cabinet Ministers ?Is the work complete now?Do you need more dead bodies and graves?If this be the case, don\u2019t constrain yourselves, for to save the party all your deeds will be forgiven.Go at it heartily ; you are the masters !\u201d Ottawa, May 28.\u2014I had a talk this evening with Mr James Purcell, of the Strait of Canso, who knows more about the practical operation of our fishery law than anyone else.Having observed in United States papers that a great point is made by them that the Canadian Government by preventing American fishermen buying bait deprive our own poor fishermen of a means of livelihood, I asked him what he thought about it.His answer was that nineteen-twentieths of the fishermen along the coast of Nova Scotia derive no benefit whatever from the sale of bait to American fishermen.To our bank fishermen the sale of bait to Americans is a material injury, as they are the only rivals our fishermen have to compete with, and by supplying them with bait the Americans are cuabled to compete with usin the markets of the world, when otherwise it would be an impossibility, according to their own acknowledgment.The Nova Scotia fishermen as a rule catch bait enough for their own use and no more.It isa totally different class which is engaged supplying American fishermen with bait.They are those parties who have traps full of bait, and are thus ready at any moment tosell to the Americans, and the Americans know exactly where to run to when their supply of bait gives out.I asked him as to the feeling among our fishermen.His answer was that they are a unit in demanding that the sale of bait should be prevented and the protection of their fisherics maintained in their integrity, as otherwise they will be placed at a great disadvantage and ruined.When asked what he thought of the effect the Frye amendment would have on our fishermen, Mr Purcell said : \u2014*The Americans will injure us about as much by shutting their ports as they will benefit themselves by shutting their mouths at the present time\u2014thot is, if they will shut their ports and their mouths, Tho losses will be about equally balanced.Why, are not their orts virtually shutagainst us at this moment?t any person examine, and with short study he will find that in every article of Canadian production they have

said she.She called him old, though he was but thirty, and turned his person and sentiments into ridicule, though, in the opinion of sensible people, he was a comely man, full of good sense and sagacity.ir Clarke paid her compliments.Miss Jâck- son laughed, and reported them to Slade in a way to make him laugh too, Mr Clarke asked her to marry him.She said no ; she was too young to think of that.She told Epbraim she had flatly refused him.Mr Clarke made her presents.She refused the first, and blushed, but was prevailed ou to accept.She accepted the second and the third, without first refusing them.She did not trouble Ephraim Slade with any portion of this detail.She was afraid it might give him pain, Clarke wooed her so warmly that Ephraim got jealous and unhappy.He remonstrated.5 Sophia cried, and said it wus all her parents\u2019 fault\u2014forcing the man upon her.Clarke was there every day.Ephraim scolded.Sophia was cross.They parted in anger.Sophia went home and snubbed Carke.Clarke laughed, and said, \u2018Take your time.He stuck there four hours.She came round, and was very civil, Matters progressed.Ephraim always unhappy.Clarke always jolly.Parents in the same mind.Clarke urged her to name the day.\u2018Never ! Urged her again.\u2018Next year.\u2019 Urged again before her parents.They put in their word.\u2018Sophy, don't trifle any longer.You are overdoing it.\u201cThere, there, do what you like with me, said the girl ; \u2018I am miserable! and ran out crying.Clarke and parents laughed, aud stayed behind, and settled the day.When Sophy found they had settled the day she sent for Ephraim, and told him with many tears.\u2018Oh! said she, \u2018you little know what I have suffered this six months.\u2019 \u2018My poor girl I\" said Ephraim.\u2018Let uselope, and end it.\u2018What! My parents would curse me.\u2019 \u2018Oh, they would forgive us in time.\u2018Never! Youdon't know them.No, my poor Ephraim, we are unfortunate.We can never be happy together.We must bow.I should die if this went on much longer.\u2019 Then he tried to comfort her.Then she put her arms around his neck, and assured him she yielded to constraint, but her heart could never forget him ; she was moro unhappy than he, and always should be.They parted with many tears on both sides, and she married Clarke.At her earnest request Slade kept away from the ceremony ; by that means she was not compelled to wear the air of a victim, but could fling the cloak of illusory happiness and gayety over her aching heart ; and she did it too.She wasas gay a bride as had been seen for some years in those Ephraim Slade was very unbappy.However, after a bit, he comprehended the character of Sophia Clarke, née Jackson,and even imitated her.She had gone in for the money, and so did he\u2014only on the square; a detail she had omitted.Years went on: he became a partner in the house, instead of a clerk.The girls set their caps at him, but he did not marry.Mrs Clarke observed this, and secretly approved.Say she had married, that was no reason why he should.Justice des femmes ! Now you will observe that, by all the laws of fiction, Mrs Clarke ought to have learned, to her cost, that money does not bring happiness, and ought to have besn miserable\u2014especially whenever she encountered the pale face of him whose love she valued too late, Well, she broke all those laws, and went in for life as it is.She was happier than most wives.Her husband was kind, but not doting; a gentle master, but no slave ; and she liked it.She had two beautiful children, and they helped fill her life.Her husband's gold smoothed her path, and his manly affection strewed it with flowers.She was not passionately devoted to him, but still, by the very laws of nature, the wife was fonder of Jonathan than the maid had ever been of Ephraim ; not but what the latter remaining unmarried tickled her vanity, and 80 completed her content.She six years in clover, and the clover in full bloom all the time.Nevertheless, gilt happiness is apt to get a rub sooner or later.Clarke had losses one upon another, and at last told her he was done for.He must go back to Californias and make another fortune, \u2018Lucky the old folks made me settle a good lump on you, said he.\u2018You are all right, and the chil.ren.\u2019 Away went stout-hearted Clarke, and left his wife behind, He knew the country, and went a all in the ring, and began to remake money | ast.ox large and varied stock just in, also to our new stock of His ove, but they fr sod as modele FURNISHINGS, HATS (hard and soft), black [of conju, ove, but they ualities ; and colored Boots, Unabrefias, Pantings, &o.1 ir contenta\u2014a draft on Now York.ALEX, MoRAUGHTON & BRO.| Bly 19%, 1886, one was Some mischievous person reported that he was often seen about with the same lady ; but went Mrs Clarke did not believe that, the remittances being regular.But presently both letters and remittances ceased.Then she believed the worst, aud sent a bitter remonatrance.She received no reply.Then she wrote a bitterer one, aud, for the first time since their union, east Ephraim Slade in his teeth, \u2018There he is,\u2019 said she, \u2018unmarried to this day, for my sake.\u2019 No reply even to this.She went to her parents, and told them how she was used.They said they had foreseen it\u2014that being a lie some people think it necessary to deliver \u2018themselves of before going seriously into any question\u2014and then, after a few pros and cons, {they bade her observe that her old lover, ' Ephraim Slade, was a rich man, a man unmarried, evidently for her sake, and if sho was wiso she would look that way, and get rid of a mock that she was the wife for him, if she was dis.busband, who was probably either dead or | \u2018false, and, in any case, had deserted her.\u2018But what am I to do ?said Mrs Clarke, | affecting not to know what they were driving \u2018ab.\u2018Why, sue for a divorce.\u2019 \u2018Divorce Jonathan ! Think of it! He is the father of my children, and he was a good It is all that nasty California.\u2019 to cry.The old people told her she must take people asthey wero, not as theyought to Le ; and it was no fault of hers, nor California's if her husband was a changed man.In short, they pressed her hard to sue for a divorce, and let Slade know she was going to o it.But the woman was still handsome and under thirty, and was not without a certain pride and delicacy that grace her sex even when they lack the more solid virtues, \u2018No, said she, \u2018I will never go begging to any man.I'll not let Ephraim Slade think I divorced my husband just to get him.I will part with Jonathan, since he has parted with me, and after that I will take my chance.Lphraim Slade! he is not the only man in the world with eyes in his head.\u2019 So she sued for & divorce, and got it quite easy.Divorce is beautifully easy in tho West.When she was freo, she had no longer any scruple about Ephraim, He lived at a town seven miles from her.She had a friend in that town.She paid her a visit.She let the other lady into her plans, and secured her co-opera- tion.Mrs X set it abroad that Mrs Ciarke was a widow ; and, from one to another, Ephraim Slade was given to understand that a visit from him would be agreeable.\u2018Will it ¥ said Ephraim.\u201cThen I'll go.\u2019 And she began sweet pensive tenderness.\u2018Sit down, Ephraim heard her tell the female servant, with a sharp, imperious tone, to admit no other visitors, did not seem the same voice.to him melodious.many years upset me,\u2019 she said.Then, after a pause aud a sigh, \u2018You look well.\u2019 \u2018Oh yes, I am ali right.us quite so young as we were, you kuow.\u2019 Sho came back friend, I suppose you have heard.you could not know that.you have been the happier of the two, sure 1 hope you have.open, manly tones.- She stopped him.\u2018You are a fickle, faithless jade! cried Clarke, when I have parted with the name for- Ephraim, in agony.ever.(Sotto voce), \u2018Call me Sophia.\u2019 \u2018God forgive you, dear! said she, and wept \u2018Well, then, Sophia, I'll tell you the truth, silently.When you jiltod me\u2014\u201d \u2018Oh! \u2018And married Cl\u2014 Who shall Tsay 7 Well money than I had \u2014' \u2018No, no!

you lead the life of a dog for them, and when you come back, by Jove, the wife of your bosom has divorced you, just because a letter or two miscarried.That outweighs all you have done and suffered for her.Oh, you are crying, are you?What, you have given up facing it out, and laying the blame on me, have you \u2018Yes, dear ; I find you were not to blame; it was\u2014my parents.\u2019 \u2018Your parents.Why, you are not a child, You are the parent of my children, you little idiot; have you forgotten that ?\u2018Nu.Oh, oh,oh, I have acted hastily, and very, very wrong.\u2019 \u201cCome, that is a good deul for a pretty woman to own, There, dry your eyes, aud let us order dinner.\u2018What, dine with you?\u2018Why, bless you, it is not the first time by a few thousand.\u2019 \u2018La, Jonathan, I should like; but 1 mustn't\u2019 \u2018Why not ?\u2018I should be compromised.\u2019 \"What, with me ¢ \u2018Yes, with any gentleman.Do try and realize the situation, dear.Iam a single woman.\u2019 Good Mr Clarke\u2014from California\u2014dclivered a string of curses so rapidly that they all ran intu what Sir Walter calls a \u2018clishmaclaver, even as when the ringers clash and jangle the church bells.Mrs Clarke gave him time; but as soon as he was in a stato to listen quictly, compelled Lim to realize her situation.\u2018You see, said she, \u20181 cacy demands it.You remember poor Ephraim Slade ?\u2018Your old sweetheart.been after you again ?\u2018Why, Junathan, ask yourself.He has remained unmarried ever since; and when he heard I was fice, of course he entertained hopes; but I kept him at a distance, and so\u2019 (tenderly and regretfully) \u2018I must you.lama single woman, .\u2018Look me in the face, Sophy.You won't dine with me ?I'd give the world ;

\u201cyou know I would not hurt & hair of your head.What is to be done?Itell you what it is, Sophy; I have lived three years without a wife, aud that is enough.I won'tlive any longer so\u2014no, not a day.It shail be you or somebody else.Ah, what is that ?\u2014a bell.T'll ring and order one.I've got lots of money.They are always to be had for that, you know.\u2019 \u2018Oh, Jonathan, don't talk so.It is scandalous, How can you get a wife all in a minute \u2014by ringing ¥ \u2018If I can\u2019t, then the town-crier can.him) \u2018For shame.\u2019 \u2018How is to be, then?You that are so smart at dividing couples, you don\u2019t seem to be very clever in bringing \u2018em together again.\u2019 \u2018It was my parents, Jonathan, not me.Well, dear, I always think when people are in a difficulty, the best thing is to go to some very good person for advice.Now the best people are the clergymen, There is one in this strect, No.18.Perhaps he could advise us.\u2019 Jonathan listened gravely for a little while, before Lie saw what she wasat ; but the moment he caught the idea so slyly conveyed, he slapped his thigh and shouted out, \u2018You are a sensible girl.Come on And he almost dragged her to the clergyman.Not but what he found time to order a good dinner in the hall as they went.The clergyman was out, but soon found ; he remarried them, and they dined together man and wife.They never mentioned grievances that night ; and Jonathan said, afterward, his second bridal was worth a dozen of his first; for the first time she was a child, and had to be courted uphill; but the second time she was a woman, and knew what to say to a fellow.Confound him, has he I'll hire Next day Mr and Mrs Clarke went over to .They drove about in\u2019an open carriage for some hours, and did a heap of shopping.They passed by Ephraim Slade\u2019s place of business much oftener than there was any need, and slower.It was Mrs Clarke who drove.Jonathan sat and took it easy.She drives to this day.And Jonathan takes it easy.Bloating from over-foeding on clover is not uncommon among cattlo No experienced farmer would think of turning his stock into a stout pjece of clover whon the dow is on or when it is wot with rain ; but bloat may come from some disorder of the digestivo apparatus ; or if tho herbage be too rank, so that it cannot be properly disposed of, it will ferment in the paunch, producing gas, which, by its pressure, closes all way of escape, and, unless relief can be given, tho animal will die.Every farmer should know how to \u201ctap\u201d the paunch, to lot the gas escape.If no other means are at hand, insert a sharp pen-knife about balf-way between the last rib and the hip, and eight inches below the level of the line of the back, the point tending somewhat downwards.This opening will allow the gas to pass off, and the wound wil soon heal, 5 ter inabre ment, and one that every stockman should have, A better instruis the trochar, made for this purpose.This consists of a sharp-pointed stecl pin,about six inches long, having a tube all but the tube follows it and remains, forming exit for the gas in the paunch, F ' (canula) which covers point.When the pin is inserted, the a means of tion.be light for a few days after such an opera- am obliged to bo very particular now.Deli-[4 ood should jtion.IN FRONT OF POST-OFFICE.LATEST.HAVE jast received about 1000 pairs of Ladies\u2019 Boots (every palr warranted) and = large qtantity of Boye\u2019 Boots.All can sull at a great reduction=little more tAan half price, Remember, any one who Luys any of my Boots nnd they should not turn out well, by letting me know, 1 will try and satisfy them.NEW DEPARTMENT.CARPETS AND CURTAINS: dood Tapestry Carpet for 33¢ and up;
