The East Middlesex Scott Act As - satiation have decided against the proposal to form a third party. The Missouri River is flooding a large area of land in Montana, and causing the loss of a great many cattle. Toronto Bay is still frozen perfect- ly solid, and the harbormaster does not think that it is likely to be clear of ice for two or three weeks. Two of the young ladies who left Quebec some time ago to enter a con- vent in Texas have returned home, and seven others are said to be on the way. A heavy blizzard raged all day Monday in the southeast of England. The storms in France and Germany continue. In the south of Spain floods are doing enormous damage. The earthquake shocks in Yunnan, China, continued three weeks,destroy ing several towns and causing much damage to shipping. At Kienshin 4,000 persons were killed. F. B. Bartlett, who was arrested at St. Thomas some days ago on a war- rant received from Flint, Mich., charging him with forgery, has been released, the Singer Manufacturing Company declining to prosecute. The Delninjon Government is now contemplating the adoption of a great scheme which would inclnde the pur- ,chase of the C.P.R. monopoly, the freeing of the canals from tolls, and the assumption of the Lakal. Peter debt. It is slated that the Premiers of the seven Provinces will sail for England prior to the 23rd of. June to lay the Interprovincial. -Conference resolu- tions before the imperial authorities, and urge that the Canadian Constitu- tion be amended. The Canada Gazette contains in- timation of elections on the question of the repeal of the Scott Act. Be- sides those already mentioned, name- ly, Simcoe, Stormont, Dundee and Glengarry and Huron, there will :be electiohs on the same day (April 19) in Renfrew, Bruce, Dufferin and Nor- folk. Thomas Mitchell, aged 54, while in the act of pitching hay in E. Nic- oll's barn, St. Thomas, on Monday, suddenly fell to the ground dead. The deceased has been a resident of the city for a great many years and at one time was engaged in the hotel busi• nese. Death is supposed to have been caused by heart disease. The large barn and outbuildings of John Simington, on the'gravel road near Chatham, were totally destroyed by fire last Monday night, including contents. Loss about $1,500 insured $1,600 in the Western company. The cause of the fire is supposed tobe in- cendiary, as a tramp named DlcDon- ald,who was arrested on the premises, threatened some time ago that he would burn down the buildings. The two constables, J. C. Morrison and Robert Hanck, who are charged with shooting Patrick Carrel and Dominic Foley at Alliston some days ago,were arraigned before JudgewBoys, at Barrie. They elected to be -t'ribd at the assizes by a jury, and as the men shot are now supposed to be out of danger, the judge admitted to bail, Morrison himself in $2,000 and two suret`es in $1,000 each, and Hanck in $1,000 and two sureties in $500 each. Gabriel Dumont writes to the French press of Montreal to protest against the statement of a New York paper to the effect that he had asked the Canadian Government to grant a special pardon to him. What he asked for is full and complete amnesty to one and all who took part in. the Northwest rising. The Government, he says, has recognized a very small portion of the rights they had been petitioning for before they took up arms, while to -day they repeat those demands in a most peaceful and re- spectful manner, and it is for this -reason that he returns to Canada. While he has no fear, he does not wish to cause any trouble to the Gov- ernment. All he desires is to be of some use to the Metis. A farmer named Ezra Smith, of Glanford,in company with his daugh- ter, was driving down the Jolly Cut at Hamilton, on Monday morning about 11 o'clock, and just about the turn encountered' an old widow lady named Ford, who was walking on the outside path. She was carrying her son's dinner to•Hoodless' cabinet factory, where he is employed. When the horse came opposite he shied and forced Mrs Ford over the precipice, following himself and dragging the buggy and occupants with him. a�yte old lady fell about 20 feet and 'the buggy came down on top of her. She was severely injured, three of her ribs being broken and serious contusions received. The occupants of the ve- hicle did not fare so badly, although Miss Smith was bruised (and shaken up so that she will likely feel the ef- fects of the fall for some time to come. Mr Smith escaped with a cut on hie hand. Strange to say the horse was not injured, beyond a few slight cuts. Mr Smith hitched the horse to the buggy again, which was very little damaged, and drove down town with his daughter in search of medical at- tendance. The escape of instant death of some if not all, of the parties is most fortunate, as they fell on the sone quarry road beneath. Greater protection should be afforded at this oint.

It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum „or phosphates, or other injurious substances. E. G. Lova, Ph.D." • "It is a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Powder is ab4olutely pure. " H. A. MoTT, Ph.D." "I have examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in the market. I find it entirely free from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious sub- stance. 'Izmir Monroe, Ph.D., President of 8teveus Instlatlto of Technology." "I have analyzed a package, of P.'pyal Baking �Powder. The materials of which It Is composed are pure and wholesoane. B. LANA HATES, State Assayer, Mass." The Royal Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at the Vienna World's Exposition, 1873 ; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 1876 ; at the American Institute, Now York, and at State Fairs throughout the country. No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni- versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists. and Boards of llcdltll all over the world. NOTE—The above DIAORAl1 illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Sehedler. A pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in each can.calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant Consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advant- age of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder will convince any fair minded person of these facts. * While the dla.grara sliewn some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength than other powders ranked below I hem, It is not to be taken as indicat- ing that tboy have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength, are to be avuided as dangerous.

Prices have declined considerably since Thursday, in some cases upwards of half a cent per lb. The best beeves today sold at 410 per lb., and pretty good animals at from 4c to 410 do., with ordinary stock at about 310 do., while the more lean beast sold at 3c per lb. Milkmen's strippers would not bring within $3 to $5 of the amount paid for them last week. There were a. few sheep offered with a better en- quiry, and prices ranged from4}o to Sic per lb. Spring lambs sell at from $4 to $6.50 each. The calves - offered were all common veals, selling, at from $2.50.to $5.50 each. The good calves seem to be held back for Easter market. There is some enquiry for live hogs and late sales have been made at from 6c to a little oven, Sic per lb.; and still higher figures are being asked for good porkers for Easter market. The horse market is fairly active and considerable num- bers are being bought for the American markets, but they have not generally been of such good quality as formerly. The shipments from here to the United States last week were 150 horses, cost- ing $14,829, or an average of $98.86 each. The highest priced lot were 14 horses, which cost here $1,801 and the lowest priced lot were 22 nags, shipped to Providence, Rhode Island, which cost only $1,155. Several 'of these horses cost less than $20 here. . --'S.— TORONTO LIVE STOCK MARKET. There was a heavy run of live stock on the western cattle market on Tues- day. Total offerings were forty-six car- loads, most of them being cattle. The local demand was fair but not so strong as it was last week. There were, how• ever, a large nnmber of outside buyers looking for Easter meats. Butchers' cattle were in liberal supply. The de- mand was fair, but' hardly so good as it was last week. There were a large number of Easter cattle on sale, but the bi'k of this class of stock is not: due un. til later in the weekard.ocal butchelfl did not buy many cattle, as they expect to get them cheaper by Thursday or Friday. At any rate Toronto is not much on Easter beef. Christmas is the season when its citizens want the best t , be had. The best fat cattle were therefore taken by buyers from Ottawa andother eastern talo Kingston, Montreal points. Prices were lower on ordinary cattle and higher on choice. General rim of ordinary sold at 31 to Sic per lb. While good to choice Easter beeves re- alized 41 to Sc per lb. In one instance 5.1c per lb was paid for a heifer weigh- ing 1,800 lbs. The best load, a 1,400 lb average one sold at Sic per lb. About twenty-five cars Of cattle went through to Montreal and other eastern points. The impart trade was quiet. The Kingston Presbytery has pass- E ed a resolution favoring the legality I of a marriage with a deceased wife's sister. ■w F�ONR`u, MND FEEB�� OF ALL KINDS.
