Mrs. Jamieson has been an invalid fora number of years. TORNRERRY. Haying operations is now in full swing, the cut will be a great deal better than people thought some time ago. Fall wheat is filling up but in some sections we hear complaints of rust; this is true of the oat crop also, which are giving promise of good crop. 5The corn fields are looking excellent, we hope no more frosts come to in- terfere with the king of crops. Peter McArthur says the "Bug is at ' the. Gate". We think he is a good deal further than that. He's pretty busy st the old stand stripping off the potato vines. They seem to have recovered from the effects of the frost. The good growing weather of last week has brought all kinds of roots on at a rapid rate. 4c110111:: El in se4 :�1'. � !�e1' u.

LIVE STOOK MARKETS Toronto, July 19, Union Stock Yards —Total receipts for to -day, 187 cars — 2,312 cattle, 269 calves, 1,011: hogs, and 1,288 sheep and lambs. The cattle trade was very slow and prices lower to -day. Choice heavy steers and a few loads of best butcher were picked up at a little easier prices than last week, but after that the trade seemed to come to a standstill, and for some time the commission men could not get a bid on the medium butcher cattle. When the latter at last began to move prices were off another 25 cents to 30 cents below last week. There were quite a lot of cattle left over at the close of the market. Stocker trade was also very quiet. Choice fat cows were steady, and good butcher bulls firm. Lambs were from $1 to $1.26 lower. Light sheep and yearlings about 50 cents lower. Heavy sheep not wanted. Hogs were quoted 35 cents lower. Good veal calves steady. Choice milk cows firm.
