NOTES 41.1sTI) COMMENTS, TIM Tines desires to cell the at ten- don of its numeroue readers to the eoriee of lettere appearing in its coltimns from week to week ott the "Mining Interests of Canada," by W. H. Lynch, Esq., of Spokane Falls, Waal. Ter., formerly of Ottawa. That the subject treated in the lettere is of largo importance to the Canadian public, and nue in Which the popular interest ie steadily increasing goes without saying,. The Writer, al- though he modestly disclaims the char- acter of an expert, ha5 evidently taken the palm to thoroughly inform himself on the subjects of which he writes, and is withal possessed of a graceful arid pleasing style which renders his accounts extremely entertaining reading,. Even those who may be already m possession of the facts discussed will find profitable employment in perusing the letters, while to the great majority it is safe to assume they will convey much usebd information concerning this new indus- try and of those engaged therein. Al ready two heve appeared in these columns. These will be followed by others in succeeding numbers. ++. The fact that Canadian cheese is eag- erly sought after in England and com- mands a good price, while for Canadian butter there may be said to be no de- mand at all, suggests that greater atten- tion be paid to the manufacture f the latter article. Of thecae we exported dairy, and bow the milk and oreern are treated. Several •enhibitioua hen° al- ready been given, and judging. by the interest taken by the fanners inthe loealities visited, it is reaseeoble to .con- clude that the conception of the traveling dairy was a wise one and that the melte easmot fail to be enaktently tatisfeetory.

Now there does not seem to be any ggod reason why Canadian butter should not be in as great demand as Canadian cheese. In view of these speaking figures it will be readily con- ceded that the effort now being made by the Ontario government to stir up the farmers of :the province on the question of butter making, and to furnish Vein with hints of practical value is greatly needed and is not being put forth any ostoo soon. It will be remembered that •• at the last session of the Ontario Legisla • ture, Hon. John Dryden, 1VIinister of • Agriculture, secured a small grant for the purpose of enlightening farmers and • their wives and daughters regarding the production of good butter.

'On July 1st Mr. Ending upent the day at Grand Bend and returning home in the evening was in- formed by his neighbor Carl Brinker that his bull had strayed into his (Brinker's) Acid and requeeted to go and take him out. Mr. Ending went to tette his bull hotue and getting into a dispute over the bad condition of Brinktr's fence" it is alleged that Brinker, who is it muchyounger man than Eading, gave him a severe beating and left him in an uriconscious condition. Mr. Kadin in the course of an hour or so recovered himself eufficiently to return to his house where he bad since been confined to hie bed under the care of a doctor. It is thought that Mr. Kading's mind was somewhat disordered by the severe beating which he had. received, as he appeared to lee in continual dread of further violence at the hands of his former assailant, and this tOote of mind finally resulted in the sad occurrence ot Saturday. Oa t hursday last we understand Mr. Kading instruct - lawyer Collins, of Exeter, to take proceed- ings against Brinker, for damages for the assault, and the fact Mr. of Eading being dead it is not likely that proceedings wM be staid.
