Another delegate 'expressed himself as follows upon the gettg of free corn; "If the Government gran the request, we feel that a great boon will be conferred on the farming interests, anis a great help render- ed to the agricnituris,lts of this country." Had the farmers' associations awakened to these views a few years earlier they would now be reaping and enjoying the fruits of their labors, but politics and party alle- giance hindered many of them from seeing till stern necessity opened their eyes. The coal oil question is one of the most important, if not the most irnportsnt ques- tion to the farmers to -day 01 be cousidorled. There is a duty of nearly 150 per cent, levied on refiued oil, to protect the munop- olists in the business. There is 000 per cent. duty on crude petroleum, which is prohibitory and places the price wholly'in the hands of the Canadian producer and therefore gives hire a complete monopoly of this busiuess,at the expeuse of the Cana- dian people. The extra cost of noel oil"to the consuiners by the duty and increased price of Canadian oil by reason of the duty amounts to nearly one million and a half of dollars per annum.

A dispntch from Kincardine to the daily papers says: Recently two women drove up to Mr. John Shier's house at Armow. One of thein remained in the cutter while the other carefully carried a bundle into the house and in tho presence of Mr. Shier and his daughter left it upon the table, at the same time remarking, "There is a young one to take care of." And sure enough the parcel turned out to be a pretty little child aged throe or four )months. Tbo woman immediatedly left the house, hurriedly got into the cutter and drove off. Who the women were is only a matter of conjecture. Itappears that as far as can be learned the two women with an infant arrived in Ripley the day before by train. They secured a livery horse in the village and drove out as far as Mr. Chris, Hewitt's, where they asked for and obtained accommodation for the night.
