DEMAND FOR FARMS-Notwith -,
standing the hard tines farmers claim
to have experienced, there is a.better
demand' for "farms to rent" than has
been known for some time. A gentle-
man who had one advertised, told Mel
that he had any number of applicants
for it, and another gentleman .told us
he could have rented his. a dozen
times over. The prospect for farmers
is evidently brightening somewhat.

rived here from the old country,, hav-

for themselves, one of which is a par-
ticularly good one, and also a year
old colt' for Mr John• Mason. Mr
Tipling brouglft an English Shire
horse, and a fine Hackney. The pas-
sage was a little rough but the stock
all landed iii good condition.
BARN BURNED. -While threshing
at the barn of Mr A. D. Macpherson;
(brother of Messrs D. and F. Mac-
pherson, Clinton;) at Burwell's"Cor•
ners, near Fingal, the other day, a;
spark from the fire box of the, engine
was blown 'underneath the barn, set-
ting fire to the hay in the mow.' Owing
to the strong wind that was blowing
at -the time, it was found impossible
to saws anything,but the maeliine,"tine
barn and about 900 bushels of grain
being totally , destroyed. Insured in
the London Mutual. The barn on
the same farm was burned about two
yeaae-ago.
PRESUMED SUICIDE. -Fred C. Wil-
son, aged 40, of Toronto, died at the
British . Exchange hotel, Goderich,
lastt1friday night from an overdose of
chloral. Wilson' had been there •for
a week. At five o'clock he obtained
a three -ounce bottle of chloral at a
drug store and went to his room at
the hotel. About eight o'clock a
servant went to the room and found
the door locked with the key inside.
The door was forced open, but be was
then dead or nearly so. Chief Yule
was called in and took charge of the
body. Wilson was a druggist, and
once lived at Bayfield. He wrote the
prescription- for the dose himself and
took the Whole of it. Dr MeLean,
coroner, held an inquest,and the jury
brought in a verdict that death oc-
curred from the effects of an overdose
of chloral administered by himself,
bat whether intentionally or not they
did not know, Mr Wilson will be
remembered by Clintonians, he hav-
ing kept a drug store here after he
left Bayfield, He was a man who bad
been Well educated, but was not a
success in business, having unfortun-
ately acquired habits that sooner or
later bring men to grief. For some
time past he had -been employed by

troubled 'with an affliction of the
heart, and it is supposed by his rela-
tives that he took the chloral to re -

viz.: In the New Hebrides, Trinidad
and Demerara, Formosan the Pro-
viuce of Horan in China, Central In-

among the Indians. He pointed out
the success which had crowned the
efforts of the faithful missionaries,
and spewed the disoouraggements and
failures resulting principally from a
lack of funds to cope with the im•-
mease work that was to be done,
Mr Ramsay reported upon the other
schemes of the church, viz.: • Home
missions, augmentation, aged and in-
firm minister's fund, and the colleges,

in each of what was done during last
