A newspaper man inquires, " What do you know?" But the law- yer hits you on the back and ejaculates, " What have you got? " The preacher asks, " Where are you going ?

If you want to get acquainted with human nature, edit a paper awhile. You know nothing of the ups and downs of life until you have served in that capacity. You may have swapped horses, conducted a bank,. sold goods, practised law, sawed wood, put up stove pipes and hunted potato bugs, but you need a few months experience as an editor to complete your know• ledge of the eccentricities of life.—Ex.

H Perseus, of this tows, have been placed on the director ate of a Company recently formed in Denver, Colorado, through the influence of Mr. Joseph Ruse, brother of Mr. Frank Ruse, and also President of the Company. This Company believes that fortune will come out of that country in the next few years. The men at the head are men of large ex- perience in the line they have mapped out, and success no doubt will follow. The Directors here have a limited amount of stock to dispose of and wilt gladly furnish prospectus and any in- formation concerning objects of the company, price of stock, etc. to those will call or send. A work of great value to the agri- cultural community and the owners of live stock generally is "The Vet- erinary Science." It treater eompre hensively and in plain, eyery-day lan- guage on the anatomy, diseases and treatment of domestic animals and poultry, besides containing a complete description of medicine, recipes, etc, en- abling the farmer to be his own veter- inary. Competent authorities regard "The Veterinary Science" as a stand- ard work, and one which no owner of animals can afford to be without. The book is sold at $2, but the London Free Press Company has made arrange• ments whereby they will supply their mammoth 16 page edition (the Weekly Free Press and Farm and Home) for one year, together with a copy of the book, at the extremely lacy price of $2.

Percy, treasurer of the Grand Trunk, has issued a circular countersigned by Mr. Chas.

Judgement in action tried at Gode- rich. Action by .1 A. Stewart, on be- half of himself and all other creditors of William Southcott, an insolveut, against James Millar, assignee of the estate of William Southcott, under R S. 0., ch. 124, praying that defendant. may be ordered to carry out the trusts of the deed of assigument and that the estate may be wound up under the ad• vtee and direction of the court. Held, as to the compensation of the assignee, the amount received being only $46, that if plaintiff was dissatisfied with this, his course, as pointed out in section 11 (2) of R. S. 0 ch. 124, was to apply in a summary way to the Judge of the County Court to have it reviewed and readjusted; but it is not to be made the subject of litigations in the High Court. As to the amount paid to the three in- spectors, $60, that appeared to be an unauthorized payment. There were no travelling expenses incurred, and under section 11 (3) no other allowance is to be made to the inspectors except upon a resolution of the creditors, There is no resolution, and though steps may be taken to legalize what has been done, at present defendant has not properly accounted for this disburse- ment. Unless the body of creditors at the proper meeting satisfy what bas been done or in so far as they fail to do so, the assigness must account for this item, As to the solicitors will, there was no need to bring an action, as the solicitor was subject to summary jur isdiction of the court of which ho is an officer in order that his will might bi taxed, and this was the proper coilfst , Judgement accordingly without costs. Counterclaim for penalttes dismissed with costs. 1 Clumsy •ahnilier, The junior editor across the street, assisted evidently by the printer's devil, has a choice item in his last issue in answer to our paragraph calling at- tention to his advertising falsehoods intended to delude business men. Tho article in ours was carelessly printed, because we were dealing with an in- significant subject and more insignifi- cant rnan. We ask pardon of our readers for spelling so badly that the scribbler in question could detect it; but remember the gift of that diction• ary at which we gave a shrewd guess. We apologise to the public, but not to the editor. Any spelling is good enough for him. But our assertion about THE ADVOCATE'S subscription list is true and our advertising patrons are too clever to be deluded by stuffed columns, which on inspection might be found to contain the names of men long dead, or like the .petition of the Chartists such good residents of Us - borne, as Julius Caesar, Pontius Pilate, or Oliver Cromwell. What business man has time to verify any newspaper list ? The attempt would show his business incapacity. Therefore we do not so insult our patrons. But in the meantime we have learned something about grammar and more about the editor of this paper, The grammar we shall not parse or analyze. Pride won't let us. The editor of the Times tells us that we own something, which hitherto we never knew existed, some- thing we are afraid to value, or a burglar might rush our office and get it. "Our conscience possesses a caustic brain of unlimited capacity." Think of that! We have slept with that thing and never knew it. We have spoken to common men and they were not paralized. But we shall try to be humble. Try to walk with our old friends, hoping they will not allude to "our great possession. Don't de so gentlemen if you value our humility. And we are afraid to ask whether we found the thing in a pasture field, or learned it in the second form at school. But it is ours and we won't sell out. We are also told this in our opponent's item :—" The circulation of TEE Tiiaxs is nearly double that of the same paper (the Times)." If the, composition in our neighbor's article means anything it certainly tells us this, and no doubt it tells the truth, tells it clumsily, yet still tells it. His reported circulation is double his true one, no doubt. The names of scores of men long dead can be found there, numbers of men who years ago kickedthe thing out, have their names on that padded list, and news- paper men know well this is an ad- vantage possessed by an old, long dying sheet over a young and healthy rival. And this man stupid enough generally to tire a gate post knows how to use it. When this warped - brained individual is consulting his friends on the odd specimens of"`litera- ture for that errtic sheet, the Times, he alight at the eame time get some thig'to dispel that " tired feeling," Dried Apples. Merchants all over the country have lately received a circular from a large house in Toronto on the subject of dried apples. The circular contains, the following caution. "Farmers and merchants must give the strictest at- tention to cut, color and condition. Requirements are large, quarter -cut fruit, bright color and dry. Discour- age all small and sliced and chunky stock. Positively reject dark, wet or fly blown " Fly -blown must be care- fully watched for. In many sections farmers " held on," and tests made from numerous district show stocks carried o'er badly affected. Fly- blown, if not riddled. and otherwise sound, can be used for certain purposes at about half value, but are unship- pable for export for ordinary use and liable to seizure. • Real Estate Boom.
