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. ARRIVIiD SAFE..- On Saturday morning Councillor Ben'Churchill,of Hullett, Messrs W.

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.

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, being able only to give a bare outline in each of what was done during last y a , and a forecast of what was hoped for in the future.
