Picton, July G. -Prof. Panton, of the Guelph Ontario Agricultural College, and Prof. Craig, of Ottawa, were here on Saturday to investi- gate tilo I?roclu( a Ain- ktis which is at`fectiiig the pea vlii25 in this vicinity. It was first discov- ered in the township of tlilIier, in this county, some four or five years ago, and each year since has increas- ed in the area of the blight, and this year it has been so fatal that very many acres of peas have been plowed up. Unless something can be done to eradicate the fungus, or at least check its ravages, it will be a great loss to the farming commun- ity in this and adjoining counties. The two large seed houses here have put out -seed enough this year to pro- duce between 300,000 and 400,000 bushel of peas, which they contract to take at 90 cents to $2.50 per bushel. If this source of profitable farming is destroyed, it means a serious loss to the farming commun- ity. DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION OF .WESTERN ONTARIO. NOTES BY THE SECRETARY.

SIR JOHN PENDER DEAD. London, July 7. -Sir John Ponder formerly member of Parliament for the Wick district, and known the world over as one of the chief, if not the foremost of organizers and pro- meters of ocean telegraphy, died to- day from the effect of a second stroke of paralysis, he leaving had a similar attack last January, which compel- led hint to resign his seat in Parlia- ment. By the death of Sir John Pender the last of the fathers of the great Atlantic cable has passed away. Cyrus W. .Field, the original pro- moter of the cable service who sought John Fender's assistance and advise in the matter more that 30 years ago, died at his home in Debbs Ferry, near New York, in the sum- mer of 1892 and of the great heads of,the indomitable body of men who saw the cable service grow to com- pletion Sir John Ponder alone re- mained. The Queen bestowed upon him in 1888 a knight commander- ship of the order of St. Michael and St. George, and four years later she promoted him to the Grand Cross of the same order. Turkey, Greece and Portugal meso presented Sir .John with orders tied I ranee made him an officer of tfie Leffiyn Qt' 119p9rs ill 1891. Sir Johri', id spits bf his seventy-nf lie years, was always in his seat of Parliament where he represented the district of Wick, whenever his health would al- low him to be present. In addition to his numerous other offices he was justice of the peace for Rent, Mid- dlesex and Lancashire and was also deputy lieutenant for the latter county. Sir John was chairman of thirteen of the leading cable companies- of the world, and the most remarkable feature in connection with hisgigan- tic enterprises was the perfect man- agement of all the various depart- ments, The stare of all the depart- ments are on the best of terms with each other and their chief. After Cyrus W. Field had interested Sir John in the possibilities of ocean telegraphy Sir John turned all his attention in that direction. Througti him the Atlantic cable was final r laid, after disheartening annoyan s. Then followed his efforts which es- tablished the first cable in India.',He was at the head of the Gibraltar, Malta and Suez lines. IIe establish- ed communication with the Levant. By his untiring efforts Australia and China were connected with Great Britain, and later lips, instigated the South African cable. These facts will give some conception of Sir John Perider's life work, and also of his enormous wealth. A DIABOLICAL CRIME. TEN COWS AND TWO HORSES POISONED IN SOUTAWOLD TOWNSHIP Sonia miscreant.•perpetrated a dia- bolical crime on Thursday last. When Dugald D. Campbell, • who lives on Oneida Road,near Southwold Station went to get his stock, be found ten cows And two horses violently sick. In a few minutes two cows were dead. Mr. Campbell telegraphed for Dr. Edmonds. V. S., St. Thomas, and the latter, on exam- ination, found that the animals had been poisoned by eating' paris green. A strip of ground in the pasture field, six feet long and two feet in width, was found covered with the poison. Mr. Campbell has had no paris green On the farm fur years, and the work was evidently done by enemies, Three other cattle will die, but Dr. Edmonds thinks he can save the rest, The two cows that died were worth $1.500, Crown Attorney Donahue has been lade acquainted with the facts, and, .strong efforts will be made to bring the guilty parties to ji:stice. A despatch from Vaneouver states Ithat the water in the h"razer river is rising and that much damage is done upon the low lands. 1. Too Costly. The sum demanded as a subsidy for the fast steamship service is $1,125,000 per annum. It is figur- ed out that this stem calls for the payment of $21,634 for each voyage or $3,O90 per day, or $129 per hour, or over $2 per minute, for ten years at least, Is the game worth the candle? It must be remhered that the subsidy is for passenger service, and not for freight. Fast travelling may be all right but let those who can afford to travel pay the piper; the masses of the people are not interested .-Reporter. The Lindsay Post declares that but for the use of the Trent Valley Canal as a bribery agency Major Hughes would have been among the fallen. It says: -Sam went around the count( y with a pack of tickets for jobs on the canal, which be placed where he thought they would do good. He had a person at Kirk - field who acted as an employment agent. During the last few days large numbers were set to work underbrushing the swamps without the consent of the contractor, who had been loaded beyond endurance. The despicable meanness of the whole transaction was seen the morning after the election when the men returned and found no foreman to receive them and nothing to do. The glen eventually found their foreman and were given their titres, but on presentation the contractor refused to pay large numbers of them as they had never been em- ployed by him, and some of the men were obliged to sell their times at less than 50 cents on the dollar in order to get money to return home. X10 Conservative Losses, Under the heading "The Mail's Red Herring," The Ottawa. Journal (independent Conservative) says ;--- "Tile Toronto ' )hail and Empire keeps up its suggestion that Mr. Laurier's victory, and the defeat of the Conservative' Government is due to the race cry in Quebec: "A simple • enough condemnation of this baseless idea is the fact that the Conservatives lost just one seat less in Ontario, The Mail and Em- pire's own Province, than they did in Quebec. "At dissolution, the Conservatives had 29 seats in Quebec. Now they have sixteen, showing a net loss of thirteen ridings in the general elec- tion. "At dissolution the Conservatives had 50 seats in Ontario. Now they have 44, showing a net loss of 12 ridings on June 23. r, "The Conservatives'\loss in the rest of Canada was greater than in either Quebec or Ontario. The party made a net loss of fiN4,seats in Nova Scotia,• three in News Bruns- wick, three in the Northwest and four in British Columbia. And the party did not gain anywhere, except possibly- one seat in Prince Edward Island, and thy -t by an independent Conservative candidate. "The Journal rehearses these facts because the Conservative party ought to realize and must realize if it is to fight successfully now an up- hill battle that the causes of its re- cent defeat were not racial, were not sectional, were not accidental. the defeat was due first of all and above all to general public distrust of the party leaders, due to incompetence, extravagance and unscrupulousness. In the very best interest of the Con- servative party, as well as of that which is above all party and for which every good citizen should be ready to sacrifice party, namely, the good of the country, the true moral of the Conservative defeat should not be disguised." • Alexander Charlton, son of Mr. George Foster an old resident of Wroxeter, but now of the 13th of Ilowlett died rather suddenly at his fathers residence on Saturday. Charlie as he was generally called came home last week from New York, where we understand he was rapidly working his way to the front in the estimation of his player.

Chatham, July ;I. -Dr.. and Mrs, Dixon have had another little diffi- culty, The two have lived together for some time since the withdrawal of her charge against him for non- support. Last Thursday, it is said, the doctor handled his wife very roughly. One of the first visitors at the police station on Thursday morning was Airs.. Dixon, who carne to lay a charged agaiust her husband, The magistrate took the information and the trial was, to have been held yesterday, but the machinery of the law was too slow for this one abused woman, and she resolved to emulate the example of'others of her sex who had considered themselves wronged, She procured a stout whip and arranged to sleet her husband on Raleigh street, near the corner of Cross. When the two met there was one of the liveliest scones this usually peaceful neighborhood over witnessed. Mrs, Dixon sailed into the doctor in true Amazonian sty le, and gave him a horsewhipping tfrat must have reminded him of his schoolboy days. He attempted to ward off the cutting slashes, but the woman's blood was up, and the blows fell as only an infuriated wo- man can give thein. When the doctor escaped, he marched off to Magistrate Houston's office and laid an information against Mrs. Dixon charging her with assault. Mrs. Dixon left the whip in Putter's gro- cery. Botli cases were to have been heard in the police court, but the regular settlement was arranged, and $4 paid for laying the informa- tion. The couple left the court roots arm in arm, and there has been no report of another outbreak of hostilities. Dr. Dixon has since left for parts unknown, leaving a board bill for his wife to settle. Buried Treasure. Woodstock, ,July 6. -David Grant while digging a cellar for F. Cowan on Railroad Street, Princetown, found, about two feet below the Isurface a small oak box containing a small silver casket. The casket contained a gold watch, gold chain, two rings one set with a fine diamond ' and two bracelets, all 20 carats fine. The watch is a beauty, of German i manufacture inlaid with jewels. A German inscription inside the case translated reads, "Vinie Sept. A. D. 1721. H. R. No. 1312." The jewel- ' ry aside from the diamond is worth $450. The diainond, which is pro- bably worth $800 or $1,000, will be sent to Toronto for valuation. Tradition has it that a casket was I buried in the vicinity of Burford by a party of Americans who made their escape after the battle fought near Burford in the war of 1812.
