The Mitchell Recorder says :—Mr, M, Mortson returned this week to Dakota, He intends selling his pro- perty there and going to the Canadian North West. It is just possible that Mr M. was induced to first locate in Dakota, by reading the Recorder's laudatory remarks of that state. An old and respected citizen of St. Marys, in the person of Mr. Henry Morrill, died very suddenly at his resi- dence in the West Ward on the 26th ult. Deceased was one of the early pioneers of Blanchard, having come to thia country from Scotland and settled on the Base line in the year 1846. A very courageous lady is Diss Violet Field ot Wingham..

DZany a brave soldier would have paled at such an operation as the above, it is now quite fashionable to address envelopes on the back and to place the stamp on the right hand corner and over the flap, thus preventing the contents being mastered without de- tection. The idea was introduced by some New York ladies whose maids were in the habit ()freaking themselves acquainted with "their ladyships:, appointments without (ler ladyship's" knowledge. A TRIP TO MANITOBA. Last year I went to Mauitoba on the 0.P. R. At Rat Portage I got sick, and at Win- nipeg I was so weak I had to be assisted off the train. I got a bottle of Burdock Blood Bitters, and atter the first ,lose felt better. When I got to Boissevain I was as well as ever. The Bitters mire the bad effects of of the surface water of the prairies. DaNALD MuNRo, Bolsover, Ont. Bid weather has greatly injured the wheat Drop of Missouri, which will not ex- ceed 85 per cent.

They throve well until a month old, when their throats swelled, and spite of all remedies they all died except one, which was nearly dead. Laughingly I said I would try Yellow Oil, and gave it a thorough application. He ini proved at once, and soon was all right. WxLLx, i Wxi psoa, , , The Horaeo Greely homestead at Chappa- BrfnsleyOnt qua, N, Y., was earned down on Thursday, many historical relies being destroyed.

The Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries at Washington has reported ad. versely to the House the hill establishing a local lino for vessels in the great lidos. The death last Thursday of Mrs. Wikse, sr., at the residence of her son on the London road, Tnckeramith, re- moves one who has "watched the current of events" for many years. Deceased came of old U. E. Loyalist stock, and was born in the county of Leede, where she resided until she carne west with her son a few years ago. For 44 years she has been a widow. A Montreal paper noting the arrival of a heavy Clydesdale horse in that city speaks of its shoes weighing 5 poi nda each and measuring 9 inches across, and regards that as someting very un- usual. We are informed that there are horses in this vicinity that wear con- stantly 4 pound shoes, and frequently shoes measuring 10 inches across have been made for horses here ao that those of the newly -imported horse is really nothing to boast of. A terrible drowning accident ocour red near Dresdon Tuesday night about eight o'clock, by which two young ladies losttheir lives.

Stockmen will be gratified to learn, that outlook for stall fed beef is favor- able for an increased demand et a better price. Choice shippers are quoted at 5o. to 53c for May and June delivery, and it would not be aurpris- ing to see prices advance during the ensuing season. Cows, for dairy pur- poses are selling readily this spring at almost fabulous prices. Horses sell in Buffalo as follows:—Good drivers bring from $165 to $200; common to fair, $115 to $140; heavy draught horses, 1,400 to 1,600 lbs, $175 to $225, with a few fancy at $230 to $245; medium weight worker ot 1,200 to 1,300 lbs., $100 to'$125; good streeters, $115 to $135; plugs and ponies, 60 to $90.

Come over to Exeter and see roads worthy of any town. Messrs. Nash of McKillop, had a great sale the other day, which must have netted nearly $2 000. Pigs sold from $30 down.

Burrett and Michael Murray of Mitchell, passed their final examinations at McGill College, Mon- treal, last week, and both young gentlemen are now fully entitled to practice medicine in any part of Can- ada. Mrs. Antoine Laverdure, of North , Ely, Que., gave birth• the other day to triplets, all boys, and each weighing within a small fraction of six pounds. They bave been christened and are all as healthy and vigorous as possible. The happy father had six children be- fore the advent of the triplets. The annual meeting of the Corbett cheese factory, was held last Monday, every thing went off' peaceably and sat- isfactorily. Messrs. John Corbett, A. Nichol, J. Laughian, .1. Breen, and A. Hotson, were appointed directors for the coming year. John Corbett was re elected salesman. There never was so poor a prospect for building in this section since we • knew it, as there is this season. There is no building in the town and little or none in the country—Mitchell Record- er. IVIitehell seems to be entirely out of joint. 'The many friends of Mr John Keogh formerly of the 3rd concession of Hib- bert township, will' be sorry to hear ot his death, which took place at his old home at Tecumseh, the home of bis early days in Canada. lie left Dakota about the middle of January, to attend to some business concerning his former plane in Hibbert. Before going there he went to see his friends in Adjala and Tecumseh, where he took sink -with inflammation of the bowels and died on the 24th of February. Mr. It. McQuade of Seaforth, writes —: '•Farmers, at East Middlesex Farmers' bl- eb ute, n.eti:ute, disagreed on the use of the tester in the pm chase of wheat and in fixing its milling value ; some maintaining that the standard bu'hd should be used to measure the grain and its weight be the weight of a bushel of the grain submitted. This is the only true test, for following reaeons :— In a vessel holding a bushel we have only one circumference, or outside wall as well as in a small measure like the testor now in use and every one knows that there is always a space between the grain and the wall and that the larger the en-face of this wall, the g eater will be tl e spaoe. Suppose the tes- ter to be four inches across, the length of wall mill be about thirteen inches, if sixteen measures of it will fill a bnehet, the length of wall measurement will be thirteen times sixteen, ur two hundred and eight inches. Now, let the ha hel measure be thirteen inches across and we have forty-three inches of wall, or one hnudred and fifty nine inches more wall space in a bushel by the tester than the standard bushel measure, and since spaoe does not add to the weight of wheat, the tester works in favor of the buyer and miller and against the farmer and the party that sells the grain by moll a test. When a bushel is made the standard a bushel meas- ure should b i used, and the weight of a measured busbi 1 be the teat weight of the grain. This appears to be common sense and its application common justice. Prof. Dawson says : If the indications of oil near Athabasca are correct Canada has the largest oil -beating district in the world, comprising nearly 150,000 senate miles, and as the indications extend down the McKen- zie River below Athabaaoa the above area may only be a part of the oil bearing coun- try. Some of the lakes and rivers in the north are cove'e 1 to a depth of several inches with oil. A San 'Francisco paper which has been investigating the matter of Chinese lm mi: gration from Mexico, states, one or two small crafts are almost constantly engaged in hringiug Chinese from Lower California t i San Diego and landing them at night, whence they make their way to Los Angel a and other penis tleve,al huudree 'nen and and a number of Chinese women aro believed to have foun 1 their way into California by this method daring the past year. ]lTA.1t .T REPORTS.
