The fraudulent practice of "topping” or feeing barrels of apples with good fruit in order to deceive buyers, whilst the great bulk of the fruit in elle body of the barrels is of inferior quality, con- sisting of small, gnarled, and otherwise poor rubbish, is telling heavily against the sale of Canadian fruit in Great Britain. Mrs, D. Jahns and Mrs. Crocker re- ceived the sad. intelligence from Port age la Prairie, Man,, of the death of their uncle, James Whitnster, at the ago of 86 years.

'!'here is great fear that the cherry crop in Western Ontario will be de- stroyed this season. A new sort of scale has been discovered ort many of the trees of the •yarieus districts. It ie not the San Jose scale, but something similar, say those who have examined the trees that have been attacked. Every effort will be made by the da pertinent of agriculture to prevent the spreading of the scale; and do away with it entirely. So far it has only been noticed on cherry trees. Elsewhere will be seen the Rules and Regulations in a condensed form gov- erning the Free Library, which, under the new condition of affairs will be rig- idly enforced, We understand that some boys just budding into manhood ha ve been disturbing other frequenters of the Reading Room. When an ex ample has been made of a few of them, they will understand that the tnanag- ere mean to enforce the rule6. A visit to the Library and Reading Room would repay any one, who has not al- ready done so. Extensive alterations haye been made since it has become a free library. There will soon be 3000 volumes in the library. We receive $250 from the government each year for the purchase of books and maga- zines, and in a few days nearly $200 worth of books and magazines will be added. Another change which will be acceptable to the public is that all pa pers and magazines will henceforth be left on the tables in the Reading Room, so that the casual dropper in can see the latest journals without troubling the librarian. The managers request the best support of the public and those in surrounding municipalities are not excluded. The small sum of 25 cts. for reading 28 books is less than• it was formerly. It is hoped that Step- hen and Usborne will unite with us in helping the library along. We will endeavor to obtain for next week a partial list of new books ordered. Easter Rates. The G. T.
