fiusa Iron the Dominion Govern

intereeted. Of these 120 send delegates
on the 21st inst. to ledd an intervtew
with the Government upen the subject.
The deputation will be the largest that
Lae ever interviewed, the Government.
A strong ease has been made out and the
promoters are sanguine of success.

hereabeut are interested to a large ex-
tent, and we are surprised that no (kiln-

Experience shows that for the future
Canadians must breed good road and
saddle horses if they wish to realize
handsome profits. As repeatedly shown,
the cheap prairie horse of the United
States are over -running the eastern mar-
kets, and electric power for street cars
is also driving thousands on the public;
hence there is no longer market for the
middle class horse in the United States.
In Canada the growing towns and cities
where electric light has not been yet
introduced, the settlement of prairies,
and the building of railways cause even
middle class animals to bring high prices
as compared with the Average of $03.84
in the States. But, for the future the
'plug animal will be of less value. This
district has some fine thoro'bred horses,
which, crossed with heavier animals
should bring good practical stock.
* * *
The Canadian farmer has not only the
prospect of a good crop this year, but
the strong likelihood of an excellent
market for it. Mr. John Dyke, the Do-
minion Government's endgration agent
at Liverpool, writes as follows to a
Canadian newspaper: " You will be
glad to hear of the very beneficial effects
:which are likely to follow the British
Tenant Farmers' delegations' reports,
copies of which I send you. The out-
look also for the price of wheat is ex-
ceedingly encouraging. As you are no
doubt aware, we have had in Europe one
of tbe most severe winters ever experi•
enced, the consequence being that enor-
mous damage has been done to the
French fall wheat, the crop of which, it
is now stated, will be from 25 to 35
million hectolitres less than in 1890. It
remains, of course, to he seen if the
sowing of spring wheat will in any Ivey
replace this enormous luss, but under
any circumstances France, Germany,
Belgium and other countries will have
to import considerable more than in
1890, and in proof of this it may be
mentioned that French buyers are al-
ready securing California wheat ship-
ments of August and. October at 40s. per
quarter. or about 80. per cental. This
means for delivery here from November
1891, to January 1892."
t t
• `Knoxonian" -rises to remark in the
Canada Presbyterian : "Abolish billet-
ing,' half fares,' clerioal exemptions,
`clericel discounts,' and all the other
abominations that help to degrade the
ministerial profession ; pay the servants
of the church their due •, do church
business on the principle that a church
dollar has just 100 cents in it like any
other dollar ; appeal to the hooest men
of the church for the money and the
money will „come. ' The people who
always want`spamiling for nothing, or
something for half its value, are the
only ones that will object. These peo-
ple should not be allowed to rule the
church,"

The latest returns from Algoine elec-
tions, which took place UondiaY, give a
majority of 280 for Mr. Geo. H, Mac-
donald, the Liberal Conservative candi-
date. The places to bear from are
Silver Mountain, For Francis and
Riney River. They gave altogether
about 20 majority for Burke at last

Tho Presbyterian Synod of Montreal
tl Ottawa at its recent ineeting adopt -
an important deliverance on the
question of temperance. It was pointed
out that within twenty yore the ehange
in drinking customs has been great, and
greatly for the better. Temperance
sentiment is healthier and stringer; the
temperance reformer is no longer con-
sidered a crank, but a benefactor. The
license lew is recognized as an improve-
ment on any similar law hitherto iti
'owe, bee total pm:Whitton is the goal to
le anted at. The Synod affirmed its
belief that it ia itow the duty of
neit to pass a prohibitory law.

The May bulletin of the Bureau of
Industries gives a cheering forecast of
the yield of fruits and gralits, So bright
an outlook, it says, has not been pre-
sented for many a spring for the fall
wheat crops of Ontario, The best show-
ing is made in the west, while in the
east it is reported the crop is consider-
ably on heavy land, and that lowlying i
land suffered from ice. Winter rye s
in fair condition. Of other grain crops,
little is said. In the great barley -growing
districts there is a decline, in the area
of barley sown, owing to the fear of the
McKinley Bill interfering with the price.
Some fields formerly devoted to barley,
hive been sown with spring wheat, oats
and peas. Grass is well advanced, and
clover looks well. Fruit trees and grape
vines came through the winter well, and.
will likely have a large yield. Supple-
mentary reports sent in after the late
frost, during the first week in May,show
that little harm was done, except in the
county of Perth. The most unwelcome
news as to fruit, is that blacknot has
made serious ravages in plum and cherry
orchards, in some cases affected trees
having been cut down by the owners.
Farm stock is in good. general health,
but not prime condition, horses faring
wqrst, influenza being among the dis-
orders named, All grains are reported
scarce, but hay is so plentiful and low
as to be a drug on the market. Heavy
losses, ranging from live to seventy-five
per cent., are reported among bees.
One day last week while Mr Samuel
Vanstone, of Colborne, was cutting wood in
the bush, he had a very narrow eecape from
being killed. A limb fell and struok him
on the head, making a gash abont two
inches long. He remained there unoon-
soious for some time, He is able to be
around, although he still feels the effects of
the blow,
Wm. Oke, who resides near Kinburn, has
a ewe which a few days ago presented him
with twin lambs, one of which weiehed
twenty pounds when dropped. Mr Oke
says it 18 BS large as most lambs three
weeka old, and ir it contiinnes to improve
its opportunity until two years old may
become a rival of Jumbo.
The Huron Expositor contains the fol-
lowing :-Lansh buyers are again on their
rounds, and are paying as high, if not a
higher price than ever before. This, coupl-
ed with the fact that eggs have been selling
twenty per cent higher than they were at
the same season last year, goes to prove
that Yankee restriction is not going to bring
about our ruin and overthrow us past yet."
On Friday last wbilst Mr Joseph Rose, of
Ezniondville, book-keeper for the Broadfoot
B cm Co., was riding to his work on his
bicycle, his wheel got caught in a crack,
throwing him off, skinning his knees and
otherwise using him tap generally He was
willing at that moment to sell his wheel for
anything between 31.50 and $2.
What might have been a fatal accident
occurred at Mr James Hawker's sawmill at
Corbett, tewnship of Stephen, recently.
When all hands were at work, one of the
boilers blew up, and was thrown by the
force of the explosion 240 feet from the
mill. Brickbats and boards flew in all
directions, Sidney Hawker, the engineer,
received a slight shock; fortunately no one
else WAS injured,

The city of Toronto was to have taken
over the street railway on Saturday at mid-
night; but it didn't. The Mayor,
aceompanied by the Chief of Police, attended
at the °Mee of the street railway, but Hon.
Freels Smith, on behalf of the company,
refused to surrender the concern. The
Mayor was weakened before the formal
demand was made by the advice of the
city's lawyer in the matter, Hen.
S. H. Blake, Avlio counselled the
chief magistrate against taking posses -
of the city's property forcibly. This is
good legal advice, but, What business had
the Mayor to have suelt advice before the
refusal to deliver up the goods the city gave
tithe& of nearly a million and. %half for the
day before S is the question agitating the
citizens. Had the Mayor gone without legal
advice the chances ere that the city
would now have possession, and the Hon.
Frank Smith would be on the aggressive
instead of on the defensive with possession.
There is considerable excitement in the city
over the affair, and the lesson is again point-
ed out that municipalities should be chary
about giving any franchises whatever of the
rights of the people. Some advise, among
them Mayor Clarke's opponent at last elec-
tion, ex-Ald. E. A. Macdonald, that the
people refuse to pay fares except to author-
ized city collectors; but in the meantime the
legal battle for possession has begun and for
years.

Mr. Adam Brown, honorary comm'ssion-
er for Canada to Jamaica, was interviewed
upon his arrival at the capital. He was
three months in Jamaica. The exhibits of
Canada, he said, were conspicuously
practicql, the natural products being well
represented, and the manufactures were such
in every instance articles in which business
has been done and will continue to be done.
The exhibits -were pretty well sold, and he
said he expected that in flour, cheese, butter
and bacon, in natural products of Canada,
and carriages, furniture, doors, sashes and
house materials, in manufactures of Canada,
there would be a profitable business for
firms of this country in the tropics. In
speaking of the class of goods we can ex-
change with them, Mr. Brown said Canada
ought to get ber supplies from the West In-
dies, such as oranges, pineapples, cocoanuts
and bananas. To have this trade properly
developed, however, it will be necessary to
have steamers running on that route special-
ly adapted for the fruit carrying business.
We should largely increase our trade with
them in coffee, raw sugars, ginger and pim-
ento (allspice). Mr. Brown as all enthusi-
asm over the prospects of this avenue for
profitable trade, and has already lectured on
the subject to the Board of Trade in Mon-
treal.

Alliston's business street will not have a
very prepossessing appearance this summer.
Make -shift stores are the order of the day.
The main street is being liuecl with anything
in the shape of buildings that will answer
for the storing of goods. The fire 'limit by-
law has been declared a dead letter for the
term of one year. It is safe to say that
within a year or two the town will be built
upon a superior style. The relief fund is
growing rapidly, still considerable distress
prevails notwithstanding there is plenty of
work. The telegraph and express offices
were opened for business on Friday and it
will be bet a few days till nearly all the mer.
chants are again doing business.

The late Senator Leonard was one of the
few survivors in the Upper Chamber of the
seventy-two gentlemen who were called
thither by Royal proclamation in May, 1867.
Of these only about, a dozen now hold seats
in that body, the greater number of the
others having passed away. Prior to Con-
federation Mr. Leonard had occupied a seat
in the Legislative Connell, whither he was
sent in 1862 to represent Metal:tide. His first
appearance in the political arena was in 1857,
when he ran for the city of Louden against
Hon. John Carling, who defeated him.
