This long expected piece of American legislation came into operation,by lapse of time, last week--Presideut Cleve- land having declined to santio.n the Bill as it came from the Senate, The Bill now in operation is regarded gen- erally as a surrender on the part of the Democrat House of Representa- tives. Wo Gantlet say that the Bill, in its present shape, will material- ly benefit Cantida—except in a few items. There is no doubt that had the Wilson Bill not been denuded of its principal features, our trade with the United States would have been largely benefitted. One of the most important features of the American tariff, so far as Canada is concerned, will be the free admission into the U. S, market of sawn and dressed lumber, iu eluding pine clap -boards, laths, shingles, staves, etc. By the McKinley Bill those artic- les were taxed one dollar per 1000 feet Our lumbermen seem to think this trade from Canada will in the course of a few years reach as high as 820,- 000,000. 20;000,000. Wool is also admitted free, whereas under the McKinley Act the tariff virtually prohibited this article. Barley is to be taxed 80 per cent ad valorem per bushel—so that our farm ers need not look for any revival in that branch of trade. So of horses and eggs, which are virtually excluded by the present high tariff. Other exports, such as flax and beans, are likely to yield a profitable trade for Canada As 1 to coal, Ontario will not be affected by the tariff—unless the recent find in the Rainy River distriet of anthracite coal should tend to lower prices. On the whole it is thought by business men in Toronto that the present U. S. tariff will tend to a largely inereassd trade in certain exports. EDITORIAL •NOTES. If Mrs. Wm. K. Vanderbilt, who is sueing in the csurts for a divource, gets $10,000,000 and the custody of her children, she can afford to let her wand -1 ering Willie wander. Mr. Laurier shouts for "free trad.e and reciprocity." He is a very voluble gentleman, but he would have to talk a long time to explain how he could get reciprocity by means of free trade, JJ' or free trade by means of reciprocity k or both together. Reciprocity meaus ! an exchange of equivalent advantages; but by the adoption of free trade Mr, Laurier would deprive himself of the means of offering any advantage in exchange for another. Germany heads the list of beer drink- ing nations. The people of Bavaria drank sixty-two gallons of beer per head last year, and Germany constim ed more beer than the whole of the western hemisplier. Yet there is less drunkenness in Germany, in proportion to population, than in almost any other civilized country. There is good reas- on for the opinion, which is held by many enlightened investigators, that the most reasonable way to promote temperance in Anglo-Saxon countries is to discourage the use of spirituous liquors by encouraging the use of light beers and wines. A new invention in the threshing line bas been tested at. Elma, which consists in an attachment for drawing the dust and depositing it any place from twenty to twenty-five feet from the machine. If successful, this will tend to make threshing agreeable, as the dust will no longer hold sway and annoy threshers. The Farmers Advocate is out with a timely warning to growers of apples for sale. It seems that a combine has been formed by a number of gentle- men in Western Ontario who deal in apples and certain rules and regula tions agreed to in which the sellers' interests are not giyen very much con sideration. These gentlemen will buy under a form of contract that requires to be closely scrutinized by farmers be- fore being signed. Seyeral advantag- es for the buyers are incorporated in the "Contract" such as requiring the seller to furnish the barrels, to board the men while they aro engaged in picking, etc. Simultaneously wiA the formation of the society reports are given out that apples are an abundant crop, that there is an over supply and that prices will rule very low, These reports are not warrauted by the fasts and farmers wire grow good hardy va• rieties of apples need not fool any dread provided they pick the fruit carefully and put it away. Prices will not fall, that is a certainty, and our readers should not allow themselves to be 'misled by inspired repo.rtsahout big crops and $2 a barrel because the pres- ent prospects' are that realty good mar- ketable apples this fall and winter will Comrnt d higher prices in Britain u than for some years hack, Around About U. Clinton A young son of Mr, Ben Webb was standing on a fence on Sat- urday, when he fell backwards, frac- turt,ng his collar bone. The earliest symptoms of dyspepsia, heartburn ai.d occasional headaches, should not be neglected. Take hood's Sarsaparilla to be cured, Tuckersinith; On Monday last a son of Mr Win. J. Allen, got his arm brok- en, and on the same day Miss Lizzie Lannon, of McKillop, happened with the sante Misfortune.. 'Puckersmith: The lightning on Wednesday struck Edward Popple's barn on Mill road and did considerable damage, shattering sheeting and raft- ers and splitting the stone wall. Mitchell: A young man named Clarke who fractured his leg a few weeks ago has sitice had it amputated below the knee, It is doubtful wheth er he will recover from the shock of amputation Stephen: Fred Green of Stephen, Lake Road, while assisting a veteri nary to throw a horse ou Tuesday, the animal kicked him ou the side of the head fra :turfing the base of the skull, Mr. Green was insensible for three hours. ' Lucan: J. H. Ireland, representing himself from Wingham, was charged before Squire McCosh on Tuesday, with stealing a watch and a small sum of money from McIntyre, hotel keeper, Lucan. The prisoner was sent down to London to stand his trial, Seaforth: During a thunder stores at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning light- ning struck the house of Edward Pap ple: Mill road, near Seaforth, entering through a chimney, demolishing it, with several panes of glass, the fluid making its escape to the cellar. The family were in the house at the time, but no one injured. Godorich township: On Thursday afternoon last, while Thos, H. Cook, who manages Jas. Steep's farm, on the Bayfield road, was hauling mauure,the line got caught over the end of the tongue, Climbing along the tongue to remove it, the horses became un- manageable and ran away, injuring hint severely, through not breaking any bones. It was a wonder he was not killed. Blanchard: Tuesday afternoon,) the residence of Wm. Ridley, iota concess- ion, took fire and notwithstanding, the efforts put forth by neighbors, was burned to the ground. The clanging of the bell Dinsrnore's school house brought willing hands from near and far, who saved the barn and outbuild- ings from destruction. The house which was of frame was nearly new. Most of the contents were saved. In- sured in the Blanchard Mutual—$600 on house; 8;200 on contents. Goderich: Master Hayden Williams, of town, while spending his vacation at one of the Muskoka retorts, had a narrow escape from a broken neck. in a playful scuffle with some boys on a balcony 13 feet high he fell head first over the railing, but strange to say, struck the shoulder of a lady who was standing below in such a way as to break his fall whithout hurting her in the least, and his only injury from landing so suddenly on terra firma was a slight lump on the forehead. Cromarty: While Albert Vipond and mother were driving along the road south of Cromarty the other day, their horse took fright at a log at the side of the road and ran into the ditch, up. settiug the rig and throwing the occu- pants to the ground, with the result that Mrs. Vipond received a fracture of the collar bone and Mr. Vipond got his arm run over. Dr. Nesmith was called and the fracture attended to,. and we are pleased to state that they are doing as well as could be expected. The buggy was considerably damaged. Egmondville: After an illness of several months, caused by a fall, which resulted in a fracture of the hip hone Mr. John Delay, sr., passed quitely away on. Friday last. He was one of the first settlers of this village, and had reached the good old age of 80 years. For a long time he kept hotel atethe south end of the bridge, but dur- ing the past few years bad resided with his eldest son, at whose residence he died, and who tenderly ministered to his wants during his declining years years and late protracted illness. McKillop: A terribly sudden death took place here on Wednesday fore- noon last. Miss Elizabeth McDowell; who lived on the old homestead with her brother, Mr, John McDowell, of the 2ud concession, was doing some chores outside, fixing up a flower bed, etc., during the forenoon. When she had completed her work, she went into the house and told her mother that if it did not get too warm she thought she would go to visit a neighbor after din ner. While speaking to her mother, she fell over and expired almost in stantly. Tuekersmith: During the present dry spell people can not be to careful how they handle fire. The people of second line of huckersmith had a lige• iy time on Monday afternoon. In some way or other a spark got into a stubble field on the farm of Mr. John Hannah, a mi'e and a half west of Eg- mondville, and in an unprecedentedly short time spread over the whole field, gaining strength as it went, coria» nately the wind was from the south east, driving the fire from the farm buiidings and towards the bush. By the help of neighbors it was kept from the bush and within bounds, and did not do much harm further than burn- ing a good deal of grass, acid some fencers and fence posts. Had the wind hen from the eontrery direction to what it was, it is very doubtful if Mr. 1-Iantiah's buildings toufd haye been g savt,d. 1 hs fire is supposrd to have orginated from a spark from at sntoker''s pipe, a�a.

Wingham: A little son of Joseph Laird, fell froth a swing onto a brick, the result being a fearful gash in ' his forehead three inches long clear to the bone. The wound was sewed up. St Marys: During the past week Mr. E. Hanham has sustained a heavy loss in the death of bis valuable stallion, Gov. Powell. He had been ill for some time! Gov. Powell was a well bred stallion and cost Mr Hanham a thou- sand dollars. St. Marys. On Wednesday afternoon of last week while Mr, J. 0. Mitchel}, 18th con,, St. Marys, was taking a young horse from the stable it stumb• led and fell ou him, breaking his arm in two places between the shoulder and elbow, and otherwise bruising him. Brussels: Coinplaints aro being made - of the ill treatment which a young man lathe village has given his aged mother. Not content with not giving her the necessaries of life, though he gets good wages, he has beou abusing leer as well. The old lady stated to a citizen,'who called to see her about the mater, that if she only had a dol- lar for every time he had struck her she would not be iu want for anything Such conduct is shameful, and the authorities should look into the matter Hallett: Residents along the 8th and Jth concessions of this township, experienced a pretty bad fright on Monday, and not iti ithout reason. A bush fire, which is supposed to ht.vs started in the Canada Company swamp - spread to adjoining property; a lot of foneing on the Athens ,and Carter farms and a haystack belouging to Mrs. Carter, were burned, and for a time several barns were iu great dan- ger. A ditch combined with the her- culean efforts of the neighbors, alone prevented the destruction of much property. • Blyth: Andy Ballantyne, Jno. Drum- mond and Charlie Magee took to the woods on Monday of last week to practice a little before the hunting season opens. and in James Dick's bush their hound traced a wild cat. Charlie let fly as the cat went up, wounding it slightly in one hind leg, and the brute immediately jumped fair on the dog's back, and then the fun commenced. The dog and cat fought for life or death, but the dog had the best of the battle. Atidy ad- vanced and the cat made for him, but when the animal was fifteen or twenty feet from hint, Andy let him have the contents of a heavily loaded shotgun blowing the brute's head nearly off. Goderich Township: On Sunday last a young man, while walking along the road in front of Mr. Wm. Wises fartn, attempted to light his pipe, arid thoughtlessly threw the match down on the ground, which in a moment was all ablaze. His efforts to extinguish it being useless, he alarmed Mr. Wise, who, with the help of about twenty other men that gathered around, work- ed at it the greater part of the day, and at last succeeded in extinguishing it, but not before it had burned three or four acres of meadow. Had the fire not been taken in time it might have resulted in a serious affair. A few minutes longer and it would have swept Mr. Wise's barns and everything before it. Clinton: William T., eldest sin of Mr. Joseph Izzard, of the 13n,yfield Foci met with the most deplorable accidents yet recorded in 1894. He was draw ing a load of wood from the bush to the house with a double team, The young man sat on the outer edge of the front tier. Exactly where he stop- ped to unload at the house the front wheels of the wagon dropped into a cavity,in the earth, A portion of the front tier of wood, along with the boy', was forced off onto the whifiletret s and startled the horses. They ran)] away and continued for probably twenty rids, overturning the wagon. The noble young gentleman was taken from the rear of the front wheels life - los Hts body was bruised, face dis- figured and the back of,hishead deep- ly eeply cut, His age was but'113 year at,d seven months. The deceased was very highly esteemed and a, good livitrg bob' popular at school and with every one who knew him, The funeral took place to Clinton cemetery Tuesday and was largely attended, among those present being deceased collegiate class- mates. To the sorrowing Arid affliieted parents an o pen -hearten p and s prm a• p tbetic community will go out to the greatest possibre extent. Bayfield: Six; ()arena's Covsxx — About July 12th it will be remembered Coroner Dr. Stanbury was called upon to hold an inquest on the body of Jas. Dunbar, an old gentleman who was found dead in his bed at Blake. At that time very little could be learned about deceased farther than that he had a niece living in Malta, married to au army surgeon and that he bac) at one time lived In St Mary's. Informa tion was solicited from any who might have known him, and his niece was apprised of the death of her Uncle Since then communications have been received from; the St. Mary,s Argus, from a private party in St Mary's and from Dr. Geo. Cousin, of Malta, Med'- terranean Sea. From these Sources it is learned that deceased was a native of to D' ra u ` she •ra ,Scotland where he was born :i years ab some70 . n• o. For some years he lived in Aberdeen and when he finally came to this country he re- sided in St. Marys for about 36 years, His wife was Margaret ;Noway, a cous- in of Ontario's premier, but she died about 30 years ago. The only surviy ing relative of deceased is a sister's 'daughter, who is married to a Dr, Cousin, of Marta. As far as is known Mr. Dunbar left very little property though he apparently was fairly well off at one time. Ilderton: Fire bugs, known as coon hunters or greets corn stealers, through pure wickedness, started fire in a rough slashing' on Mr. A. 0, Att. wood's stuck fermata Brooke, on Satur- day night, August 21th. Everything Being dry as tinder, the fire, under at fresh wind, raged beyond control all last week, and at date of writing it has ruts over 40 acres, burning every- thing• iu its course, fences, logs and grass, not missing hardly a square. yard of ground. The tire is now in a block of 80 acres of very valuable bush, most of which has never been Allied, taking down everything in its course that is small and '1estroyiug the rest. Monday it had gone over 25 acres, ane was still burping and will do so nutil a heavy rain or snow or want of material to burn There was a large stock of cattle a. d horses ou the ranch, all of which Mr. Attwood has had tc take home or send out through loss of pasture or fear of falling tim- ber, Sortie ninety rods of fence was burnt. The loss cannot be estimated until the fire is out, but it will be heavy. Four oil wells are now down within half a mile of the farm. An American company, with half a million dollars' capital, is now operating in this new territory, to whom Mr. Attwood expects to lease his farm before a month to work ou royalty. ook'sCottonRoot COMPOUND.
