Reports from all sources indicate the dawn of better times. The agricultur- al and commercial depression which has existed for several years past is gradually lifting and the bright hor- izon of a new era is yisable. Viewed, from almost any standpoint taken, the n it has outlook is more cheerful than been for some time. The hard times have evidently touched the bottom and a period of prosperity has already begun. Every avenue of trade is be gianing to feel the impulse of renewed energyand vigor. In the field of a rieulture the life pulse is beating stronger. Good crops and better prices have stiffened the backbone of the h.usbandmen- Both in grain, dairy products, live stock and almost every• thing farmers have to sell, values have increased, and one of the surest signs of improvement is present in the en. haaced value of land, The good prices obtained for stock and implements at auction sales is another unmistakable evidence of a change, But the indi. cations of returning prosperity are not ,confined to the farmers, The great business artery which draws inspirat- ion and life blood fr7em the fountain kead—the agricultural industry—is beating in sympathy with the new vigor acquired in that department` The first evidence of it was noticeable in the increased business done by the railways and steam boats plying on the lakes, the carrying service of the eountry being .practically taxed to its utmost capacity to handle the products en route to market. Following this very desirable condition of affairs is the increased activity in wholesale commercial circles, and next in turn comes the long -looked -for revival of trade among the Y'etail dealers. For- tunately, the benefits of the change will ultimately reach all classes. The artizau, the mechanic and even the eommou laborer must share in the general prosperity. Only the other day a prominent eastern manufacturer who had reduced the wages of bis employes to tide over the hard times, announced an increase of ten per cent., and thus the boom has taken practical shape and with due prudence will undoubtedly make itself felt throughout the length and breadth of the land. Canada has not suffered from the receding wave of depression to the same extent that many less favored countries have, but the new era will be none the less welcome. May no drawback intervene to mar the pleasing prospect of better times at hand. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Three or four applications for di- vorce bills to be dealt with by the Sen- ate next session. • The Liberal Association of North Middlesex will hold a convention at Ailsa Craig on Tuesday Nov. 16th, at one o'clock, p.m., for the purpose of choosing a candidate to contest the riding at the next provincial election. The Hon, G. W. Ross is expected to be present, The bye -elections for the Commons in Quebec resulted in the return of Mr. Charles A. Gauvreau for Temiscouata and Rose for Rimouski, both Liberals by acclamation. In Drummond and Arthabaska, Mr. L. Laverge (Liberal) and VIr, A. Noel (Conservative) were nominated. SUPPORT HOMl3 INSTITUTION. —The Seaforth Expositor hits the nail on the head in the following; " We have often urged our citizens to support their own home business houses instead of sE;ndw„ their money away to the large cities hu payment for goods they purchase from departmental stores and other similar establishments, In the long run people will be mouey in pock- et by patronizing their own local busi- nessmen. It is equally to the advant- age of farmers and others in the vicin- ity to patronize the business men of their own town, as, by building up the towns in their own district, they are en- hancing the value of their own property, while every dollar they send abroad for purchases they could get as well at home, is a dollar spent to depreciate the value of their own property. Iu a town like this whose busiuess houses are filled with up to -date goods in every line, there is no reasonable ex- cuse for its citizens speuding the money earned iu the town, and which ought to go to maintain its industries and businesses, in purchases outside the town. The business houses of a town are the visible evidences of the com• munity`s standing. Fine stores, doiug a flourishing business, indicate a thrifty, prosperous and progressive people; and the Liner and busier they are, the great sr impressiou they make upon straugers, and the higher the estimate strangers are likely to place upon the advantages the town possesses as a place of resi- dence or as a business and industrial centre. To build up a town's business every citizen can contribute by loyally patronizing its stores and industries. The more generous their patronage, the better service they will get. There is nothing we can think of, in the way of staple purchases, that cannot be bought in town, of as good quality, and at as reasonable price as in the cities; and in the matter of the higher grades of goods, our business houses stand equally well. All they need is the encouragement of purchasers and the goods and the prices to suit will follow. There is a tendency to go or send to the larger cities for certain classes of goods, under the impression that they cannot be procured of as good quality and style or as reasonable in price in your own town: and a great deal of money that ought to be spent at hothe in building up the town goes abroad in this way to add to the im- portance of larger places. This is a mistake. In most cases the goods and prices are equally as favorable at home, and in special instances they can be obtained through you local dealer with out added cost. If citizens would think over these matters and consider that every dollar spent in the town goes di rectly to maintain its business and help to support its population, there would, we feel sure, be less purchasing abroad thau now prevails. Business men, in turn, should feel under the same obli- gation to refrain from sending their work to outside places, and give it to local industries, thereby giving em- ployment to mechanics, whose wages are almost invariably spent at home and from a large proportion of the cash receipts of merchants and business men. It is false economy to deny your own town's capabilities, or starve its indus- tries. If you feel weak, dull and discour- aged you will find a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla will do you wonderful good. The Grand Trunk Railway Cnmpan y have sent checks to Brantford amount- ing to $33,500, returning the car works bonus with interest. The Minister of Marine and Fisheries has decided that whitefish fishing shall be permitted from the mouth of the Thames River along the south shore of Lake. St, Clair, through the Detroit River and around the shore of Lake Erie to the boundary between Kent and Essex, including Pelee Island, un- til November 20. This will give Can- adians more equal rights with Atneri- ean fisherman. In 1883 when the Ontario govern- ment began to collect statistics on the subject there were 653 cheese factories in operation, and the value of the cheese was $5,589,000. By 1890 the industry had grown until there were 817 factories producing cheese valued at $7,189,957. In 1896 there were 1,250 factories and notwithstanding the low prices the output brought ten millions. 1897 will bring upwards of 15 millions of dollars into Ontario from the sale of cheese, so that the period between 1883 and 1897 has witnessed an increase in cheese productions from five to fifteen millions. In regard to the future possibilities of acetylene, inc1ud including its assumed capacitvsfor driving out every other kttowu form of illumination, the astute oeiter of the Progressive Age,•emphati- cally r'pudiates the idea that it will over saccessfull,v displace coal gas, water g,is, natural gas, or electricity, though it will Find a place for itself first perhaps, in isolatee lighting, to rhe illuminattnn of factories and the like now using individual electric lighting plants or oil gas machines. Extensive A Boasted Advantage Proses to be a Source of Weakness and Worthlessness. A BROTHER'S DEED. TOM NULTY MURDERS HIS THREE SISTERS AND BROTHER. ;1• Shoclei» g Confession—Thinning Out the Family—loo Wanted to Got Married and the douse 'Was Crowdocl. Montreal, Nov, 5.—A series of mur- ders, revolting in aim and atrocious in execution. were committed near the Vill- age of Bawdon, in the County of Mont - calm, about 50 miles from here yesterday morning. The details are rather meagre, and owing to the bad roads and the dis- tance from railway and telegraph offices it is impossible to obtain more to -night, but it is known that the victims are: Elizabeth Nulty, aged 18; Annie Nulty, aged 10; Ellen Nulty, aged 14; Patrick Nulty, aged 9. They are the children of Michael Nulty, one of the most respected farmers of Rawdon Parish, living about nine.milles north of the village of the same name. The district was settled years ago by Scotch and Irish, and has always been of the most peaceful char- acter It was probably for this reason that the parents were accustomed to leav- ing the children alone when they went to any of the neighboring villages. . On Thursday lir. and Mrs. Nulty started for Ste. Julienne, about ten miles away, leaving the family happy and cheerful. The house stands some distance back from the road, and the other farm- ers in the district, all at soma distance, heard nothing unusual during the day around the Nulty homestead, and worn ignorant of the tragedy enacted there. During the afternoon Mr. Morin, a merchant of Chesley, another village in the district, had ocoasion to call at the house in the afternoon, and, not being aware of the absence of the parents at Ste. Julienne, he was somewhat startled as he approached to And that the door of the Nulty house was broken in. He en- tered the place, and a most horrible sight greeted his vision Lying on the door were the headless bodies of the youngest girl and the boy. Their clothing was saturated with blood, and all about were traces of the struggle in which their lives bad been taken. The heads of the children lay un the floor near the trunks. This sight was such that Mr. Morin could not endure it. He rushed from the house in hot haste, panic-stieken and horror`strieken. But outside the traces of the crime and murder were almost as horrible as within. Here lay the body of the second eldest girl midway between the house and the barn. She also bad been stricken down, and the life was pounded out of her, evidently with an axe. She rested on the damp roadway, and already her blood had oozed all around on the ground beside her. But even this was not all." Mr. Morin saw a dark object further along on the same road, but nearer to the barn, and sup- posed that it was the body of the fourth girl, but when he reached it it proved to be only an article of female clothing, which had evidently been torn off the body of one of the victims. It was then for the first time that the terrible nature of the crime dawned upon him. Con- scious that in the barn to which the road ran lay still another victim of someone's lust and dassion, Mr. Morin tremblingly entered. '.Chore he found his worst fears confirmed. There lay the body of the fourth victim, that of the eldest girl, lifeless, bruised and showing traces that she had been violently assaulted before death had taken place. The accumulation of horrors was too much for Mr. Morin, and he no longer had the heart to further pursue his in- vestigations alone The neighbors were summoned and the bodies were oared for in the best manner possible. It was, however, recognized at once that they should not be removed until the proper authorities arrived to investigate the case. Drs. Lafontaine and Berthier and High Constable Levesque of the same place are now on the scene of the mur- der. As soon as the neighbors arrived it was decided to send immediately for the parents at Ste. Julienne, and Mr. and Mrs. Nulty reached their home last evening, heartbroken at the horrible fate which had overtaken their family dur- ing their absence. It would seem that whoever committed the dreadful crime had first entered the house and provoked the children to resistance. It is deemed probable that the murderer's inclinations were directed towards the older girl, who avoided him probably, and, along with her next younger sister, fled toward the barn. It is thought that the murderer worked his purpose on the eldest daugh- ter and then killed her, afterwards going outside of the barn and slaying the other girl on the roadway, and then re-enter- ing the house and finishing up his slaughter in the manner described. A Youthful Mend. Makers of crude and imitation dyes must of necessity claim some advan tages for their common productions in order to attract consumers. Amongst the deceptive and sweeping claims put before the public by a certain maker of dye, one in particular must attract the attention of even those who are novices in the heart of home dye- ing; we refer to the statement, " Will not soil the hands This claim is a direct acknowledge- ment of weakness and worthless as far as coloring power is concerned. Any wise woman will readily see that a dye that will not stain the hands is of little use in the work of dying. Such dyes may give to light and flimsy fab- rics a show of tint or color, but it soon vanishes from the materials when they see the light of heaven. The Diamond Dyes, r.o matter how much water is added, have coloring power to stain the hands. A bath pre- pared from one ten cent package for dyeing six pounds of goods a light col- or will give as durable a shade as if thad beeu prepared for e_n the bath a p y g P two podnds of goods a dark color. It is coloring power that home dyers look *for and most have, colors that will stand suhlight and washing with soap. As two sticks can be used for tnovttng the goods about in the bath, there is no necessity to have the hands or arms in the dye. Diamond. Dyes are true and powerful agents, always do ing the best work, and never make false and misleading claims. Fire at Goderich. Goderich, Nov. 6.—Fire broke out last night in the Grand Trunk elevator, completely destroying it, along with a large quantity of grain, The fire cam municated with the lumber yard of N. Dyment, of Barrie, and burned along the water front, consuming Dy - talent's yard and the lumber belonging to the yard of Win, Rutson, of God erich. A gale was blowing at the ' time, and but for a chauge 1n the wiud the probabilities aro the building and lumber belonging to the Goderich Lumber Co., the dredge Arnoldi, with tug and scows, belonging to Allan & Fleming of Ottawa; the schooner Tod` man, belonging to Capt. Wilson and a fleet of eight tugs, belonging to the 13ultala fish Co., would have been taon.- sumed, as they were hemmed in a cor- ner of the harbor and could not make their way out through the burning lumber which was floating in the har- bor. As it was, the schoouer Todman was badly scorched. The tug Evelyn made her way out with difficulty, and is safe, Some damage is done to the tugs in moving them about, and two are scuttled and sunk. The steam barge St. Andrew's was -unloading wheat at the elevator, and moved away when work was stopped the preceding evening and is unharmed, The fire extended for S00 yards along the wharf, The cause of the fire is un known, and the loss is heavy. The fol- lowing is a summary of the losses so far as can be obtained:—G-. T. R. ele- vator and four freight cars, loss and in- surance unknown; 65,000 bushels of wheat, valued at $53,000, insurance unknown; M, Dyinent, Barrie, 3,500,000 feet of lumber, valued at $35,000; no ii'snranee• W. Rutsen, Goderich, 1,- 500,00 feet of lumber, valued at $15. 000. Schooner Todman, Capt, Lawson Goderich, damaged to the extent of $800.. Torn Nulty, who deliberately, yet ap- parently without forethought, lifted Ms axe and cut down his three sisters and younger brother early on Thursday after- noon, is only in his 21st year, and he will reach his majority on Christmas day. He will never see another birthday atter that. He is about five feet five in- ches in height, very black hair, a becom- ing moustache, and a deeply tanned com- plexion. His story is as follows, as dic- tated to the newspaper men by himself— A. Confession. "I left home on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, having no intention of re- turning home until Thursday night. I slept that night at my sister's, Mrs. Poudrier, and left her house about ton o'clock on Thursday morning, intending to hire myself out to go to work in the shanties. After going north about two miles I suddenly took it into my head to go towards home. I went to our house, took off my goat, and started to cut some wood. I suddenly took another notion to go to the barn, but I do not remem- ber taking the ase. In the barn was my eldest sister, Elizabeth. feeding the pigs. I do not know what came over me, but I was possessed of a notion to strike her with the axe. I had no cause for doing it. I struck her in the neck, but I do not know whether she was killed or not. .After leaving the barn I met my seeoxd sister, Annie, who was coming off the gallery towards me. I.tnust have struck her, I'don t recollect doing g so: I suppose I must have killed the others, but'I don't remember anything until I found myself in the street with my hands. in my pockets. This was about 2 p ni. I saw my sister lying on the ground, and I again lost my memory, and did' not recover until I was two miles away to the woods, I then went to Jules Grein- ier's and afterwards to my `tales,' re- turning home at midnight. I had no motive for committing the crime; and had ,no provocation." Huron County Christain En- deavor Budget. Huron County was highly pleased by the Provincial Convention at St. Thomas, we lead the province in mem- bership, and contribution to missions. Our idea of having a union gathering for the S. S. and C. E. Conventions was favorably reported and recommended by the President, Mr. Hardy. It is expected that other Counties will follow our example. By correspondence the executive committee have decided that the '98 convention will be held in Wingham, June 14th and 15th The preveous conventions have been held in the fall but owing to the wish of our friends in the country societies and Sunday schools the date has been changed to June, our friends from the rural district will therefore show their loyalty to the executives by booming \\Ingham '98' Samples of twenty different leaflets on the Temperance question has been sent to every society in the county. and it is expected that many of the Societies will order a quantity for distribution, if any secretary has been overlooked kindly let us hear from you. Amos R. Wells gave a very forcible address at the St. Thomas Convention on the Tenth Legion, a movement that is receiving special prominence among all classes. Tho County Union would like to see a large number en- rolled during the coming year. Notwithstanding the mitny rquests from time to time some societies change their corresponding secretary at every annual meeting, and neglect to notify the county, provincial, dis- trict, and general secretaries. Kindly note then it is in the inter- ests of all concerned to have a perman- ent corresponding secretary for each society and that person should be a business -like officer who will attend to correspondence promptly. • READING GOOD BOORS. It's not the privilege of every one to listen to the great christian thinkers and speakers of our time when they visit this continent. Yet we are not entirely shut out from sitting at their feet and learning their lessons. The press with its nimble teeth, catches up their news and makes them our per manent possession We have a few precious little books 'just issued from the press of Revell & Co., Toronto, which are specially suitable for en- deavorers• One is F. B. Meyer "Cat- tawav " a book on the• higher life, most excellently put and as attractive as a story. Another is A. J. Gordon's " Yet speaketh " which is as sweet as a nut aced as luscious as grapes, and delight- some to muse upon. Another is " Christ Reflected in Credation " by D. C. MacMillian a suggestive little book for young people to read. The mind needs food just as the body does, sup- ply it with what is good. Do you read the Endeavor Herald ?
