Grain Inspection in Winn ipefi•—i our Do- gzees of krost in the Xrovitice. Winnipeg, Aug. 17.—The oittetal state-. meat of Mr, David Bern, grain teepee. for for Winnipeg inspeetion division, for the past .year, shows the -following figures: Total inspection at Winnipeg. 11,04,800 bushels, of which 81.50 per sent, was No, 1 )card, 18.6'6 per cent. was No. 2 hard, . No. S hard 14.45. , per cent., No, 1 frosted 7.26 per cent., and rejected. 12,05 per cent, The total itniount of oats inspected was 877,800, and of barley 120,400 bushels. These are the first re- ports of any noticeable size ever given of these two grains. The above figures will be valuable, as showing just what peroentego of No. 1 hard was inspected at Winnipeg, malty' of the farmers believ- ing that they aro cheated on the grading of the wheat. The 9,042,800 bushels does not .represent all the entire export, as a groat deal goes through Without inspec- tion at Winnipeg. This represents chiefly. grain shipped by the all -rail route. Wheat receipts at Port Arthur and Fort 'William elevators for last week were 104,000 bushels; shipments, 802,- 000; in store, 2,173,000. Reports received at the Grain Ex- change this morning state that therm were four degrees of frost in nearly all parts of the province last night. No re- ports of damage have been received, and it is not yet known how serious the re- sults are. The first sample of new wheat received at the Grain Exchange came in this morning, end is an excellent samplo,whieh should certainly grade •No, 1 hard, and be of very good weight. The yield will be from 18 to 20 bushels to the acre. A story told by a traveler from Rapid City is that on Wednesday last a boy about 14 years of age ran away from a farm where he was working near Oak river. His employer, an& some reports say, a guardian of the buy, took a horse, rode after shim, and caught him at Ham - iota, 10 miles away. He did not offer the. boy any herd usage in town, and took Mini up on his horse before hint, but some time after the lad was found about half way to Oen river dying from the effects of terrible braisesall over his stody. Before he died, lie recovered suffi- ciently to tell that his guordlan, when they get to a lonely part of the road, tied a rope round his waist, and, push- ing hint off the horse, dragged him slang the road. The boy's condition, it is said, .fully bore outthe statement, and. it appeared after he had been dragged what was supposed to be a sufldeiont dis- tance, he was left for dead on the road- side. The country is greatly excited over the affair, and it is reported the guardian has been arresteed, and will be at once sent up for trial by the local magistrate. DESTRUCTIVE STORMS. ` . Bch Little .

Waubnushene, Aug. 17. —During a terrific hail storm yesterday morning the Georgian Bay Lumber Company's mill, stere and storehouse at Port Severn were struck by lightning and completely de- stroi el. The strenuous efforts of the men prat anted. the fare from spreading into the lumberyard and many million feet of lumber were saved.

Hamilton, Aug. 17.—The Board of Governors of the hospital met this after- noon, but had very little to transact. It. is understood that the governors propose to give the cold shoulder to the staff, which has asked that an amendment be made to the by-law debarring doctors 1 other than members of the staff from attending patients. Such a change would be very unpopular, not only with the: physicians on the outside, but with a majority of the citizens, The clause opening the institution to all reputable physicians was the strong point in the McGillivray by-law, over which there was such a wrangle in the City Council. Litigation will follow between the warring ratepayers in school ' section. three. When the teachersi and scholars went to the school -house this morning they found the door locked. It is claimed that the building was deeded to trustees for a Sunday school. They are willing to have it used for a school, but want the School commissioners to pay a nominal rental and . admit' their title. W. A. °rocket, who is said to have looked the door, has been summoned :to appear at the Pnlioe Court in the morning. Mr. Bray, of Toronto, deeded the land for mission purposes.

The women of Canada many years ago selected the Diamond Dyes as the standard dyes for home dyeing, This selection has proved a wise one.
