Tell him there is a poor widow down the road who would be very thankful if he would donate a few provisions. Finally say to him that money will be scarce next season, and would lie mind trusting you for a few dollars worth of goods.

MeD Allan, of Goderich, gives the following as his views regarding prospective prices for the apple crop. Fruit growers should„ hesitate before selling thier apple crop, especially the hard varieties, The British crop is not only a poor one in quality but will' be poorer than usual Among the con- tinental countries growing for the British markets, France is practically out of it, as the quality is, inferior. Holland has little over half a crop, and with unfavorable weather even that is likely to be lessened, In all these old neglected orchards in European coun tries (and most of them are of this class) it is the experience that wind- storms do immense damage, the fruit having so weals a hold of the tree is blown off, and all, such becomes cull stock. Altogether the outlook that our Winter stock will all be wanted in Britain. Later reports will be given, so that our growers will know what to look for, At present the lowest price should be $1 per barrel for winter.

Carlini, The following, taken from the Clinton News Record, has reference to a former well-known resident of Exeter.—The people of Clinton were greatly surprised last Thursday evening :o learn of the death of Thomas M. Carting. 'On the Friday evening, previous he was taken ill, but no serious results were so soon anticipated. For several years he had not been in the best of health,'.lthough apparently robust. At the examina- tion after death by Drs. Freeborn and .Gunn it was found that the fatal re- sults were caused from gangrene of the upper bowel owing to the acute inflam- mation.
