Robinson, a famous deal- er in sporting goods,says that Mexico buys more pistols than all the United States put together. The pet pistols there are of the biggest size and cali- bre. The returns of the Department of Agriculture show that during the nine months of this year up to the end of September, a total of 62,185 settlers arrived in the Dominion, against 51,272 for last year. The Main Street Baptist church of Woodstock, N. B., has been expelled fromthe BaptistAssociation because of its members harboring and adopting the doctrine of instantaneous and en- tire santification, which doctrine has been declared by the Baptist body to be unscriptural. Mary Ann Britaiu, aged 16, living on Marlborough street,Brantford;was found last Thursday evening by her father at the bottom of their well. Life was extinct. The well is an old styled affair, drawing water by means of a long pole. It ie supposed the girl overbalanced and fell in bead first. C6allurphy, 23 or 24 years old, went into a barn at Windsor Forks, N. S. on, Saturday • night, ht. while in- toxicated, -toxicated, and -it is supposed after ltghtin tt__pipe _weaa-t_to sleep in the hay. During thelnight fire broke out, the barn was destroyed,and the sleep- er's remains burnt to a cinder, were discovered in the ruins. The late Mr David Kennedy, the Scottish vocalist, was an ardent Lib- eral. When he was iu Egypt he wrote, `When this country is governed , by liberty as now by despotism, it will be the garden of the Lord. My curse on all forms of tyranny,and our Government on the side of tyranny. But not for long -not for long. Hea- ven be on the Gladstone side.' A man thought of buying a home .in one of the booming towns of the Pacific. But after thinking the mat- ter over he said that the body of his boy lay in a cemetery near Chicago And he could not bring himself to move away from it. Thereupon the active real estateagent offered to give, him a lot in a cemetery, see to the re• moyal of the child's remains and pay all expenses if the man would re -con - consider his decision. Apropos of the fact that it took eighty soldiers and 150 policemen re- cently to evict one Irish tenant, the Pall Mall Gazette offers the Goverd• ment the following problem in sim- ple proposition. If it takes 230 armed men to reduce one Irish pat- riot to the submission that you call union, how many armed men will it take to reduce the whole Irish people and thus complete Mr Balfour's pro- mised task of uniting the United Kingdom ?' At the Hamilton Chancery, an ali- mony case was tried, in which, the evidence adduced showed terrible de- pravity on the part of the defendant, Geo Bridgewood. Bridgewood, H he is an elderly man, has been living in habitual criminal intimacy with his granddaughter, a girl of 13, the ille- gitimate child of his daughter. The child has lived with him from her birth, and he has kept her itt a state of almost brutal ignorance. Bridge - wood's wife sues hint for alimony on the ground of hard treatment, Ali- mony wa!s granted, and the amount was left to be fixed by the legal • mag istrate. Very recently the residence of Wm. Yelland, in the heart of the town of Peterboro' Rev Mr Lovell's parsonage and Mr Reeniter's house -the latter being a Scott Act informer -were set on fire by having coal oil distributed freely over the verandah and front door. On Wednesday night similar treatment were given to the houses of Dr Fife, president of the Scott Act Ass dation. Dr Fife has offered a re• ward $200 and the Mayor $500 for the conviction of the guilty person. The inspector has been fining the ho- tel -keepers to a considerable extent lately, over $5,000 having been• taken from violators of the Scott Act since Jan 1 last, and the opponents of the Act have now become exasperated. A. iittsburg story is as follows. - I,n cork leg ho has worn since the lead of Waynesburg-, arr. lac w t discovered a large colony of bedbugs This week. There was at least five hundred of them. They seemed to breed in the knee -joint, and in a holo on the side of the limb. His wife, a very neat woman, fainted upon the discovery. She had been mystified by the fact that the beds in her splendid mansion were infested with the ver- min. Houses that she and her hus- band visited were similarly infested by the leg being unscrewed and left on the floor all night. The New York firm to which the leg has been sent for cleaning, says that bedbugs have n partiality for cork legs. Every philosopher say,s:,-A. wao ib born to bis work. But be does not always do it. The man who was born to sell milk sowetiwes mixes a great deal of water with it. What do yez want,ringinl the woire off that dure bell ? I want to see the Indy of the house. Well, I'll tell, as I have orders to tell all callers, that she has gone away for the summer. Yez ought to be ashamed of yereelt, jerkin the dare bell loike that when missua do be thryin' to get a bit ay a nap. Young Irishman goes up to old farmer and asks a job. Old Farmer - Ay, man, what brings so many of you Irishmen ower here? Young Irish- man -Well, sorr, we have lost part of the Lord's Prayer in Oirland, and we corne here in search of it. Old Farmer -And what pairt micht that be ? Young Irishman -Our daily bread. So you are going to marry that small, wheezy, consumptive-l000king specimen of a man, are you? said one girl to another. I really don't see what you cau see in him to love. Mary, said her friend, your father is a small man, isn't he? Yes, was the reply, but what of that? Nothing, except that it he wasn't small it would have been doubtful if your mother would have been boss. I'm going to marry that small man because I'm fond of having my own way and won't accept any risks. An old-time bartender thinks that the temperance sentiment is cutting into the liquor business. "I have noticed," he says, "th,at drinkers on the average pour out less than they did formerly. Lord bless you, I am one of the ancients in the business. I have tended bar in nearly every first-class hotel in the country, and used to run on the lower Mississ- ippi River. The drinks I have seen nieu pour out would stagger hie in my best days, and I have been a pretty good drinker in my time. They used to take it pretty straight in my early days. It is seldom now that you bear a man call for whis• key straight. It is something on the side, or a little sugar and water. I have noticed this tendency to kind o'weaken liquor for a long time, and I think as how prohibition is getting in its work. I am sorry, as an old mixer, to say this, for I have always been one of the kind as thought it was a sin to water whis- key or to even put sugar in it. A man ought to Lake it straight or leave it alone. A well-to•d>v colored man called pn Mr J. A. Gully, city tax collect- or, for the purpose of paying his taxes. Upon being asked what the amount was Mr Gully informed him that he owed only. $4 40. "How is that ?" asked the negro in aston- ishment. "What is the property valued at, anyway?"' He way in- formed that the value of the pro- perty had been -valued -at -at $300. "That amount," said the tIsitor, "is wrong. My property is worth $2,- 000. It is worth that amount, and I once swore to that amount being its value. I want to pay any taxes on what the property is worth, and I. do -not think that the city ebould collect any other amount than the exact value of the property. I do not want the city to give me any- thing. It is my privilege as a citi- zen. to estimate the value, of my possessions and to pay taxes on them at that value. Compute the amount due on $2,000 worth of property and I will pay the sunt." The col - leder then made another computa- tion and found that the • taxes a- mounted to $29 35. The colored citizen paid it cheerfully. --[Meri- dian (Miss) News. PERTH NEWS. The trustees of Rostock (Ellice) public school have re-engaged Mr A. Torrence for next year, at an increase in salary. On Monday death claimed another highly respected settler of Mitchell, Mrs James Dawe,who came to Mitch- ell with her family, from the town- ship of Dumfries, in the year 1855. Mrs Stratton has sold her farm at Kirkton and. purposes moving to To- ronto. The farm consists of forty-four acres and was sold for $1525. John McCurdy was the purchaser. On Saturday the. barn and out- buildings belr,nging to Mr James Connors, 3rd con:, Hibbert, was des- troyed• by fire. The loss is estimated about 51503. No insurance. The cause of the fire is un known. Michael Boos, of Sebringyilie, was found dead in his barnyard on Mon- day morning, with no other clothing on but his night shirt. It is supposed that he got up during the night when the storm was raging, and was struck with something. The Itlrkton butter factory has closed for the season, after a success- ful run of four months and a half during which time the amount of 32,- 000 lbs. of butt ]r was 'made. The highest number of patrons at any one time was 120. Diphtheria of a virulent type has made its appeartlnce in the northern part of the township of Elma. Two deaths have already occurred. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, Union school No. 2 has been closed for a week. 1 Although Mitchell Trinity church is the weakest finanically and num- erically, of all the religious denomi- nations in town, it is the freest of debt and pays the largest ealary. The rector gets $1,000 a year and free house, the organist $150 and the sex- ton $100. A new $1,000 otgan has also been ordered and a channel is at once to be built, and that without going a dollar in debt. Stratford is carrying a heavier load of debth t nn any corporation ofd its size in Canada. its rate of taxation is two cents on the 5. In salaries the baby city is rather extravagant.. The city clerk gets a straight 5600; treasurer, 5400; assessors, $500; col- lector, 5400; solicitor, 5200; auditors, 5100; magistrate, 51200; chief police, 5600 ; two assistants, 5800 ; market janitor, 5375. This year 58,003 has been expenned by the Board of Works committee; fire, water and gas costs 57,500; health and relief, 51,500; cemetery expenses, 51,500. The whole amount required to be raised this yes r is $6•1,07n,R1. TEMPERANCE NOTES, The clergymen of New York and j Brooklyn have organized to oppose the Personal Liberty party. Mrs A- Chisholm, of Ottawa, has been re*elected as President of the Provincial W, 0 T, U., of Ontario„ The Temperance 'people are ae- manding a Provincial police to meet the outrages of the Scott Act counties. '•Bark well's Bronchial Balsam" cures all kinds of coughs, colds,croup and bronchitis. Ask for#Barkwell's, take no other. The proposition for an organic union of the Temperance order made by the Royal Templar chief is fiuding hearty eudorsatiou from the Temper --r ranee press, and seems to have been made at the right time. Calcott, the Peterboro brewer who tried to work the liquor vote solid for Sir John last Dominion election, to a likely candidate for the Senate. That body cannot be made much worse in the eyes of Temperance people. The Ontario Provincial Alliance Executive are laying out to give de- termined opposition in the bye -elec- tions to members of Parliament who voted against, Prohibition in the House. Montague, of Haldimaud, was one of them. Nothing is better calculated to ar- ray all respectable citizens against the jiquor traffic than the outrages and laW-defying acts in Scott Act counties. It is one thing. to sympath- ise with a legal traffic, tied quite a- nother to defend outlaws and crimin- als. In the contest for Mayor in Newark, N. J., the Prohibitionists put a third candidate in the field and polled 3,500 votes, defeating the Republican nom- inee and electing the Democrat candi- date by a small majority. The labor candidate only polled about 1,500 votes. Halton's first repeal petition con- tained 2,160 names, and the total vote for te petition was 1,767, while the vote against it was much larger than for the Act. The socond petition just completed only has 1,770 names, and the indications are for a more dis- astroias defeat for the antis. The anti -Temperance men take up the abandoned weapons of the Tem- perance advocate in Nebraska. They are now defending the high license law against the assaults of the°Prohibs who fathered it a few years ago. Ad- vanced Temperance sentiment seems to be squarely against high license. Wentworth county is going to hold' a convention to discuss the advisability of submitting the Scott Act. The Royal Templars are agitating the matters in the county. They have lately held Royal Revivals at Water - down and Dundas, and this week they had a big meeting at Ancaster, with a number of the Hamilton, Dundas and Lynden members present. In a scheme t e e ado ed bythe Duel h Conference for raisin; the money needed by the Methodist Church to enable Victtitia"lrnieersity 'to enter into federation with the Provincial University, the sum of 52T0 was al- lotted to the church of the small vil- lage of Hespler. The allotment was readily accepted; and on Saturday last the Rev. Mr kIenders,with one of the layman, called on a few of the leading members of the church and in less than three hours, without the least trouble they raised 5700, which was $430 more than their allotment. Squire Phin with his sons 3 )lin and James P. Phin, all farmers, gave the handsome sum of $500. PORT HOPE, ONT., 1isY 2nd, 1887. I was a sufferer from a long stand- ing case of catarrh and being well up in years (72) hardly expected to ever obtain anything that would give me material or permanent relief. At the time of receiving Nasal Balm I was very bad with catarrh; but take great 't pleasure in starting that-on-threecond application I obtained wonderful re- lief and its effect was pleas ant, sooth- ing and healing. It acted like magic and is worth ten times its cost for the immediate relief it gives. I feel confident the second bottle will affect a permanent cure. I have reconi- mended Nasal Balm for cold in the head and in every ct se it acts like a charm. Yours truly, T. W. HUNT. On:Wednesday night a sixteen year- old son of Mr R. B. Striven, of Til- bury, Ont, caught two men endeavor- ing to steal two horses from a neigh- ,bor's barn. They attacked Scriven and escaped. A little after the same hour Friday;night Scriven was picked up unconscious on the main street of the town. He remained insensible twelve hours and when brought to con- sciousness said that the two menlwho, the night before attacked him, had again assaulted him and took ,from him the keyof his father's barn. Two horses werfound unfastened in the barn, bntthere was no evidence of a visit by thieves. The boy has spasms every little while and doses off into insensibility at frequent intervals. The struggle for the key took place in the centre of the town, and yet no one saw it. The doctors cannot find any marks to cause the present con- dition of Scriven and are at a loss to account for it. Scriven is a promi• nent young man of the town, and has always been considered an exemplary youth. A Washington despatch says' Mr Louis K. Church, Governor of Dakota, in his annual report says: "The Territory bas had another year of wonderful growth in population and wealth, During the past year 2,067,281 acres „of public land had been filed on, and 1,538,672 acre land have acquired by final proof and cash entry. Twenty-three million eight hundred and eleven thousand four hundred and forty-five acres of public land remain unoccupied. The population of the Territory is.estimat- ed at 568,477,an increase of about 68,- 000 during the year. During tbo building seasonof d q 1885, 679 miles of new railroad were constructed, mak- ing a total of 4,208." The report says that the season of 1880 was not alto- gether favorable to farming interesti). The total area in corn, wheat, oats and (lax in 1886 amounted to 4,712,- 761 acres, an increase of about one- third over last year. During the year 1886 there were raised 15,806,000 bushels of corn, 30,704,000 bushels of wheat, 20,661,000 bushels of oats, and 3,844,323 bushels of flax, On January 5th, 1887, the value of live stock in the Territory reached 542,828,338, an increase of nearly 5500,000 per year for the last seven years Chlengosllll 8''*ae Wean, IIItt1l1Rit1Ub t'rane The ('hlra35. 35'..!.

The very finest is rani 111' old gentleman whore name twtrr ligula: ul any list of owners of precious stems et IT a,. far printed. Jean D. Jennings may be tv"rth 55,000,000, or he may be worth $15,000,000. The vast bulk of his wealth is in corner lots[ but a big diamond stud, not less than nue• half an incl[ in diameter, which hu weals day in and day out in his shirt front has been in- ventoried by as good judges as TttLmy at 530,- 000. That makes it by far the biggest and fin- est stone hem its owner is tis years of age, but he carries this little fortune around on his person invariably, even at night. If it held a more important relation to his fortune perhaps -he'd-be-a- t.tle-mere-oautioue-; but 530,000 to Jennings' fortune would cut a very sorry figure. "Nobodylatows how much he's worth," real estate men say. 1[e has had for forty years a fondness for good corner lots, and whenever he Itaa gotten a good one Ise has had a most profitable method of getting a revenue out of it. Jennings introduced here the ninety -nine-year lease system. No sooner has he gotten a fine piece of property than lie is looking around for a good ninety -nine-year tenant, one who will take the property at a valuation, perhaps, 20 per cent. in advance of what it cost, pay as a rental the current rate of interest, and agree to put on it a valuable building. These 7 -per -cent. and ti -per -cent. leases have paid at compound interest vastly more than other real estate owners who have held on have made out of their property. And so Jennings, without being ever talked about, without ever figuring in the newspa- pers, without ever heading any great schemes, is actually pronounced by so good a judge of local rank as Banker Charles Henrotin the richest man in Chicago to -day. These 7 -per- cent. and 6 -per -cent. ninety-nine year leases .A3t the scores of valuable pieces of Chicago realty can all now be turned into ready cash on a 4 -per -cent basis of revenue. That would bring the old gentleman .Jennings 52,000,000 for every 51,000,000 he invested. Jennings says to those who have a right to know that the diamond he wears its his shirt front is worth 530,000. The: Sensations or lite Dying. It is doubtless the ease that in many In- stances -and perhaps they are the majority - dying persons lapse gradually into au uncon- sciousness that ends their bodily pain and saves them from the anguish of the final parting with those they leave behind. It is not un- common, however, for clearness of com- prehension to persist to the last, and perhaps it is still more cpunnon for some of the spacial senses to preserve their activity. The following touching account of the Into Dr. Wilson Fox's hest moments, when his friend Dr. J. Russell Reynolds was at his bed- side, is given in the Lancet's obi- tuary "On the next morning, when obviously and consciously dying, and after bis eyes had been fixed for a few minutes on the angle of the room, and as soine gray streaks of dawn wore entering it, he said suddenly : 'There is a great light -a great glare of light. . I feel so strange a glare of light. What is it Reynolds ? The .„,.reply was -'It is the peach of God.' He graspedids friend's hand firmly and said 'God' bless you.' " The Large Cities of the \Yor141.

So the bearded woman re- solved to discard the petticoat for ever, and to don the pantaloons of the stronger sex. To this intent she made an application to the Prefect of Police, which was granted at once. The other women who are allowed to assume man's habiliments are a few female painters or copyists, who work on high ladders in the picture galleries, anti air tut a half a dozen per- sons who have left off ilio proper garb of their sex for motivescunuectod with health, Since Mine.

(:ragpup, the Prefect of Police, has recalled to his subordinates the edictagainst the wearing of men's clothes by a'onten. But nobody has been punished, a0( it is probably in view of this leniency that some females con- tinue to appear to public dressed as men, while the Prefect is himself continually pestered with applications from vvoinen who want to walk about Paris in male attire like Georges Sand, and who allege medical motives which M. Gragnon prudently and diplomatically professes not to under- stand. But if Aline. de Valsayre's proposed petition to Parliament be rejected, as it un- doubtedly will be, that belligerent dame will at least have the satisfaction of knowing that she will have given another impetus to the prevailing fashion among her countrywoman of making their garments as masculine as pos- sible. This year, for instance, men's felt hats have been largely taken into wear by the ladies, and the modiste has been frequently abandoned for the hatter. In these circum- stances it may be safe to predict that the days of the divided skirt, at least, are not. far off. Mr. Rider Itaggnrd's Models. It'ant The London World. A list of the books which her.
