When three aears old she crossed the Atlantic with her parents ; ten years later recrossed, but did not remain on the Green Isle long, and re- turned to Canada again the same year, settling with her family In Elizabeth- town, in Leeds and Gt•eenville.

REyIEW OF CATTLE MARKET. The spring trade in Outario's exporters has proved more sapisfsetory to feeders than it, has to llealore. emnber of drovers were on the Toronto markets this week with cattle which they had bought a month ago, when prospecta Beamed rather brighter than they do now. In some oases; these drovers say they paid over five cents ME cattle that they cannot get beyond $4.80 for today. There is little doubt, too, that the statements made are substantially •correet, and that drovers have lost on the cattle they bought in advance for May delivery. On the other hand, the num who fed these cattle have little to cora. plain of, having reolized about a cent to a cent and a quarter over what they paid for the animals as feedens last fall. .3 tut now the Toronto market is dulLit being difficult to got up to $5.15, even for the very finest offerings, but that figure comperes well with the price paid last yeer, when the con- dition of the Old Country market now and then is taken Into accounL While cattle are selling at a dollar a hundredweight less. dressed weight In England, than they were at this time in 19(15, the price of export animabs on the hoof here is only about 0.5e. less now than It was twelve months since. On tho whole there does not teem any lin- 1nediate prospect of inueh improvement In prices. If an advance is to occur at all, the probabilities seem to point to its coming just before our Western ranchers commence to ceme off the grass. One thing that seems reasonably certain is that therse who are buying feeding cattle at $1.50 to WA cannot expect to get more than for thom next fall. Last fall exporters sold in Toronto at below $4.5eAnd judging by reports as to the extent to which American farmers are preparing to graze thie year, and tho pro. bable output from our own West, better re- turns cannot be Molted for next season. Hogg are 10c. lower in Toronto this week, the Wm. Davies Co, quoting hogs off ears in T$8are75nttoota,at8:7.30; fed and watered In Toronto at between $7 and $7.10, and at country points at Park, Blackwell & Co. emote off cars in To- ronto at $7.30, with fats and lights 25e. loss. At the Junction yesterday select hogs fed and watered sold at $7; lights at 56.75; BOWE{ at $4 to to, and, stags at 52.50 to 5.3.50 per hundredweight. While hog prices have declined in .thie Pro- vince, the price has nor kept place with the decline in bacon in the Old t'ountry. Thurs- day's oablegrata tho Trade Bulletin reports %docile° of 4% per long awt.

As a matter of tact, the very best price quoted in yesterday's cablegram from the Chnadian Associated Preas was 60%., and the prime ranged from that down to 53e, with the market depressed oven at that figure.

ANOTHER ONE Folt FLOODY.-An N.— The Toronto papers of Saturday last announced that in pursuance of his aggressive policy for the pro- tection of the fisheries of the Province, Hon. Dr. Reaume has decided upon the employment of a number of fast grucoline launches on centers where poaching is frequent and pertiistent. One snch launch re- cently purchased at 0ananoque at a cost of 8800 is now in Toronto harbor. Her preliminary tests developed high speed. She will be further tested on the hay and lake, and In a day or two a decision will he reached as to whether she will be placed on Lake Erie or Lake Ht. Clair, each of which will be patrolled by a gasoline launch this season. A launch will also he purchased ainmet immediately for the Georgian Bay, and before the season is far advanced there will be two fast launches on that hay. The Gilphie, the present fishery cruiser on Georgian Bay, is too big and too slow for the work, and has failed to make captures on morn than one occasion because her size prevented her going in among the .inshore islands and getting at poachers working there. An offer of $1,500 has been received tor the Gilphie, and she will probably be sold to the private parties wanting to buy at that price. It *le also propotted to put a fast gasoline launch on Lake Nipissing next season. A PALATiAL STORE. The meche.n- large distillery plant was seized on Friday afternoon near North Wake- field, Que., by officet Floody of the in- land revenue department, assisted by Dr. Freeland and officer Slattery of the local staff. The plant was opera- ted hy Joseph Brossard, and it was stated at Hull yesterday. that it was the most complete and ecientific outfit ever captured in Canada. In the dis- tillery were found two barrels of whis- key, eight large hogsheads of fer- mented mash, a large quantity of corn, potatoes, yeast and other ar- ticles. The distiller used a gasoline stove for boiling, the game being fed hy naphtha from two large reservoirs. Two force pumps were used for cooling purposes." It was Inepector Floody, of Toronto, a well known Huron Old Boy, who worked up the cam against Brossard, he having been in the vicin- ity of the prisoner's home for some time disguised as a laborer.
