An exchange says that when you hear a man sneering at his local paper you may know at once that he does not spend much time or money in making it better. A men who cannot see any benefit arising to his town from the influence of his local paper is about as much value in the progress of the place as would be an Egyptian mummy. We have to hand a copy entitled °Tho Dominion Agriculturalist and Canadian Stockman," a monthly paper published in Toronto by Maxwell Gregg, Toronto, It is a 82 paged -edition with beautiful suited cover and is -tilled with; choice and valuable leading matter: pertaining to stock raising. and gener- al farming purposes. It is a journal we can strongly recommend. to the farming community, and a journal that no farmer should be without. • The spring tramp is on the war -path as usual; Two seedyT'ooking Italian musicians struck town last week and warbled a few tunes on instruments that had a ghost of a resemblance to bagpipes, which had, to all appearances, been used in ancient times to rally the armies of the Israelites against the Philistines, and' in eater, years as tog horns on some of the upper.lakes. Their rendering of "Home Sweet Home" was enough to cause the cold lizards of des pair.to creep down your back. It is with deep regret and lement that we are called upon to chronicle the death of another of Our town residents, in the person of Mrs. Samuel Cobble - dick, whose demise occurred yesterday, 7th inst., after a lingering illness.
