Vas the old story of "you screech my

heamble opinion is that iu a couutry
like Canada every tub should stand on
its -.own bottom, and that the principle
sectarian grants to religions ineitu
awls is rotten to the core. The Con-
ees-yative policy, as mapped out by Mr.
Meredith, is equal rights to all and

1107ALCIES OF FARM PROPERTY.
In 1801 the value of farms in Onta-
ado was retained at $295,163,315; in
AVe1 the landealone was returned at
et321,245,223. The increase was $326,-
en0,000 in thirty years. In 1861 the
vatue of farm implements was $11
8O,350; in 1891, $50,651,442. In 1861
tese value of farm stock was $11,092,-
Fe32; in 1891. it wr s $108,721,076, In
-5861 the value of farm buildings was
'Amended with the land; in 1891 it was
=turned seperately at $191,268,327.
Now let us tabulate these figures:

In thirty years the farmers of On-
tegio, as a class, have increased their
sessions by $624,000,000.
Possibly we shall be told that this
gnat increase took place in the old
ffi-tys,vehen the revenue tariff was in
ece. Well, the Ontario returns show

educe to have been: In 1891, $071,886,

men.

itself instantly.
McGillivray: We have received in-
telligence of the death of Mrs. Catherine

Hensel': Mr. John McFarlane, one

Hay: A meeting was held the other
evening in the school -house of School
Section No. 12, Hay, to decide whether

mittee will spare neither time nor pains
to make it suecessful.
Wingham: "Saranac," the standard
bred trotting stallion of the Messrs Dul-

noon, his home ran away and threw
him off the load in front of D:eayer's
blacksmith shop He was stunned by

wound about an inch long behind his
right ear. Being well up in years he
will no doubt feel the shock for several
days.
Ailsa. Craig: Death has entered the
home of Mr. Wesley Kerr, of the village,
and leaves him alone; his wife being
taken to that land where pain and

ing is unknown. She has been ill for

cloud of gloom and sadness rests on

back bone way found to be splint

Seaforth: The death is recorded of
one of Settforthes earliest residents in
the person of Mee. Alex, Seott, which
sad eyent took place ou the Gth inst.
Mrs. Scott had been in delicate health
for several years, but since last fall
has been perceptibly failing, and at
times suffered severely. Deeth to her
was a, happy xeleass. Tho deceased
was a daughter of the late Walter
Smith, of Mitchell.
Tuckersmith: Mr, James McIntosh
of the Mill road, while returning home
from Seaforth on Tuesday last met
with a yery painful accident. Just
after crossing the bridge at Egmond•
villo his horse became frightened and
ran into the ditch throwing Mr. McIn-
tosh out with groat force, dislocating
his shoulder and bruising him con-
siderably. He was taken to the office
of Drs. Scott & McKay where his
wounds were fixed up and he is now
getting along as well as could be ex
pected.
Goderich: The Goderich Signal man
has come out ahead in the libel suit
entered against him by one Senior.
Some time ago the ease was tried and
the jury found no damages and that
eaeh party pay their owu costs. Sen
ior, not satisfied with the verdict, ap
pealed and the case was argued the
other day, in Toronto, on a motion to
set aside the motion entered at the
trial in Goderich, and to enter judg-
meet for Senior for nominal damages
or for a now trial. The motion was
dismissed with costs. The action arose
ovor certain statements made by a cor-
respondeut in a communication to the
Signal
Brussels: A largely attended meet-
ing of the creditors of Messrs. McIntosh
& McTaggart, private bankers, was
held at the American Hotel, Brussels,
on Friday afternoon of last week. Dr.
McTaggart was present and gave a
lucid account of the business and the
outlook for the future. We understand
there is about $6,000 of outstanding
accounts, some of which will be collee
ted through the Court. The business
management will be left in A. Cousley's
hands, who has so satisfactorily con-
ducted the arrangements in the past,
and it is expected another dividend will
shortly be declared: which will likely
make the total paid 85 or 87i cents on
the dollar.
Blyth: On Sunday a number from
this vicinity drove over to Goderich to
participate in the Conference services
there. Late in the evening as Mr,
Robt. Somers and wife were returning
home and while passing through a
bush just West of the German Church
a large tree fell across the road, A
limb about six inches in diameter
struck the hind wheels and top of
Somers' buggy and another limb fell
between the front wheel and the horse,
holding the buggy so that it was im-
possible to advance without remoying
the brush. It was a very close cal
for Mr, and Mrs. Somers, and the latter's
nerves received a severe shock. For
tunately no serious damage was done,
although the buggy shows the results
of the adventure.
Londesboro: About 31 years ago
this fail a farmer near here had two
large hogs that got out on the road,
and about an hour afterward one
came bleeding in several places. The
farmer went in search of the other,
but could find no tidings of it. Das
and weeks and months and years rolled
on and still no word of the pig until a
couple of weeks ago, when the thoughts
of the pig had died out of his mind, he
was surprised by a neighbor and old
friend telling him that he wanted to
get off his mind something that had
troubled him for many years. Well
what is it? Tell it out. He then said,
I killed a pig belonging to you about
30 years ago and I want you to forgive
inc Lately the farmer had receivecilwo
letters through the mail with some
money in thetn, and now the mystery
wee solved of who sent them As the
pig was worth $12, then at 6 per cent.
It is worth $72 and over.

The readers of the Expositor and the
Exeter Times will have noticed from
time to time considerable news under
the head of Philadelphia. These notes
are put in by some incompetent person
who has the audacity to put it
on to some innocent person. Now 1

not the correspondent for either of those
papers under the head of Philadelphia.

The Crops.
The country correspondents of the
Winnipeg dailies make a great mistake
in supplying those papers with the op
timistic reports of the erops. There is
really no good purpose to he served in
it: in fact there is very much that is
harmful. At this time of year, all that
can really be said is that the crop bas
been got in under favorable conditions
There is really uo growth that is more
than normal, and for the impression to
go abroad that Manitoba's crop this
year will be abnormally large is to give
circulation to an idea that will act like
a boomerang should it occur that we
should meet with fitilure. It is much
better to leave prognostication in this
matter tootle side, and deal with the
facts. POP Int:lance, the country has
not had a drop of rah) for over three
Weeks, tied the effect 15 not quite ap-
parent in the fading grain. There is
really no harm done as yet, but shoula
we not have rain shortly, it will be
diastrous to our hopes for a good crop
this year.—Brandon Sun.

' ',C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.:
"Dear Sirs:—I believe in Hood's Sarsaparilla.
1 will tell you why. I have suffered from In-
herited scrofula from child hood. When ST years
of age, ny eyes became strangely affected. I
could not read after sunset, and when I would
close my eyes, I could. not open them; but on
whichever side I lay, on that side 1 could °pea
my eye. This condition continued about two
years, and was succeeded by
Ata Intolerable Itching
an over my body and limbs. I had to have my
little boys take shoe brushes and scratch Inc.
It was dreadful. It continued a month and was
followed immediately by a tumor in the right
side of my neck, as large as a small egg. I at
once commenced taking physicians' prescrip-
tions and continued till I lost hope. In the mean
time the tumor changed its place to the imme-
diate front of ray neck, suppurated and was fol-
lowed by others, till six had formed and broken.
"Finally, three years ago, another large tu-
mor seated itself on the point of my collar bone
and in six months another half way back on the
bone. Both of them soon began to discharge
and continued to clo so' till about seven months
ago. I tried everything, including prescriptions.
1 was often so weak that
1 Could Scarcely Waik
and my mind was so confused that I could
scarcely attend Ito my business (school teach-
ing). I was utterly discouraged. And now my
story draws to a close. I began the use of
Hood's'
Hood's Sarsaparilla a little less than a year ago,
and took five bottles. When I began I had no
faith in it. In less than three months both the
sores on my shoulder were healed; I was cured
of a troublesome catarrh; and scrofulous habit
has steadily grown less apparent. I weigh
more than I ever did in my life, and am
In the Best of Health,
considering my constitution. Do you wonder
that I believe in Hood's Sarsaparilla? I can do
no less than recommend it everywhere and every
way." Ono. A. Zrears.,E, Mt. Horeb, Tenn. •
