NOTES AND COMMENTS If Mr. Hobbs and his 803; majority fail to get that normal school for Lon- don now, it will be because the Ontario Government has better use for it at election times. x x x They say that Sir Oliver Mowat has a majority of one now. He had better keep a close eyeupon it. If it became thirsty or sleepy just before division time, the result would be awkward. xxx As parties in the Legislature now stand; there are 43 Liberals, 23 Conser- vatives and 18 Patrons. This gives the Government a majority of two. Instead of putting half their slender majority in the speaker's chair, the government it is said will appoint a Patron to that position. xxx There was a great outcry at Winnip eg and the west sometime ago at the ex, elssive freight rates of the C. P. RL., but when the commission of enquiry went to Winnipeg to take evidence, no one came forward to give i:t3akimrr14 Mt.

Ho,v you interpert Mr. Lough's action depends on your „own character, Some will say he should be in parlia- ment ; some, that he should be in the pulpit ; some, that he should be in a freak museum ; some, that he should be in a lunatic asylum. xxx An acre of turnips --according to the report of the Bureau of Industries— gives a greater cash return than any c t31e+' e'en -1 ed in Ontario. In 1893, so says this authority, the value of the turnip crop per acre was $41.71 The iiest in order ivas catrocg at $39.39 ; potatoes, $45.76, and corn for husking, $21.90, The return from an acre of fall wheat was only $11.50, and for Spring $3,79, The lesson is obvious. Farmers should abandon wheat, which impoverishes the land and gives but scant return, and give more attention to roots, which are alike vastly more profitable and easier on the soil. X x x The waste of corn fodder—the money value of this excellent forage which is annually lost through negligence -is al- most beyond belief. Even good farmers who are careful and saving in most mat- ters, seem to think that because the corn crop is grown mainly for:the grain it does not particularly behcove them to make the most that can be made from the product that nature so lavish- ly gives. No greater error than this obtains in our whole agricultural practice, and in these days when profit an the farm consists so largely in what is s: v:., ether than in. what is made, The imports of Canadian Apo into Great Britain for the month of October were 710,190 dozen, against 467,764 dozen, for the ecrresponding period lest year, showing an increase of 242,436 dozen ; and for the ten months ending October 31st, 1894, the imports front Canada were 1,490,660 dozen for the corresponding period last year, showing an increase of 550,000 dozen. But what does this Canadian supply amount to comparatisely Let us see. Tho im- ports into Great Britain , for the past ten mouths. ending October 21st, 169#? amounted to 98,930,430 dozen, of which Canada supplied .1,490,580 dozen, or only a one -slaty -sixth part. This simp- ly demonstrates the extent to which our export egg trade can be increased.. During the same period, says the Trade Bulletin, Russia shipped to Great Britain 10,884,170 dozen ;; Denmark, 9,966,980 dozen Germany, 27,856,270 dozen ; Bandelgium, 21760 7460dozelU n. There pis no reason why Canada should not do a much larger export trade with Great Britain. It is held, however, that Can. ada can only ship to England profitably during the fall months ea an extended scale: but admitting this, there is ample room for a big expansion of our ship- ments, for, had we shipped ten times the quantity that has gone forward during the past three or four months, it would have made no difference as regards values. xxx "The Exeter Times thinks that be- cause Essery, of London, declared himself a prohibitionist, he should have received the entire temperance Tote, and claims that the cause has received its death blow butanes he did not receive that vote. Tuts Tines should be the last paper to utter any such nonsense. It surely has not forgotten an election in South Huron last June, when the Liberal candidate Mr. McLean, wets a prohibitionist, while his opponent was not. According so Tau Tierss' reasoning, it should have supported Mr. McLean ; it should. have "forgotten party and worked on prohibition lines," but it goes without saying that it did not do so." The Rip Van Winkle of the Clinton New Era takes us to task as above 'tor. having stated that the temperance people of London deserted the cause, in not Ruppprting Mr. Essery, the temper- ance candidate. The comparison drawn between Mr. Essay and Mr. M. Y. McLean is odious. Mr. Essery is a pronounced prohibitionist and emphati- cally and boastingly declared himself as such; while Mr. McLean, on. the other hand, not only shirked the questions put by a deputation of temperance men, from Exeter, but sought to run with the hares and hunt with the hounds. The New Era is either ignorant of Mr. McLean's record as a prohibitionist or is stating falsely. The latter we would net like to impute. This matter has been thoroughly thrashed in South Huron, and to mention it even, is gall to Mr. McLean. The fact is, since a goodly portion of temperance electors in London went back on the best possible friend of the cause, temperance as an issue, has received a blow, from the effects of which it will take years to recover. - axx Ontario is fast becoming a great hog - raising Province,as"farmers are beginning to realize that there is no more profit- able industry than that of producing pork. The advantages far turning out a large quantity this year have 'peen market , owing to the now price of wheat and the tendency of farmers to feed it to stock rather than sell it at current prices. It is estimated by the Cincinn- ati Trade Current that40,000,000 bush- els of wheat have already been fed to stock in the United States and Canada, and the Prairie Farmer puts the esti- mate at 60,000,000 bushels. Thus :re- sorting to buying cheap wheat baa, no doubt, had the effect of putting every animal that could possibly be obtained into the pen for fattening purposes, and there is little wonder that at the pres- ent time there is a falling off in price. There is no doubt that four and three- quarters or five pounds of wheat for spring and summer feeding will produce a pound of pork, and this amount at present prices has a market value of about 4 cents. A well known Ontario id feeder says he has put pork w: cents a T E Pertl. County Notes Ur Jaa Waddell, of b`ullartou has bought the dray business of Mr J (li iia in St gam.

OTTAWA, Dee. 5.—The city of 1•Iull—un- fortunate Hull—which has narrowly escaped being destroyed twice or three times by fire, cattle very near being blown up by a dynamite explosion yesterday, As it is some . fifty houses are badly stmashed, four families are mourning fur thele tleasl ; two more persons are dying, and sante twelve others more •or less in- jured.

Alexander Major, aged 9, very severely and dangerously cut on face and head. The boy, Albert Beauchamp, residing near the scene on Wall street, was one of the badly injured. ,His left leg was broken and Dr. Beaudin thought it, better to re- move him to the hospital. Ile was a piti- able sight lying on the rough stretcher on his father's floor. A report was shortly after spread that he was dead, but it turn- ed out to be untrue. Should he be strong enough to bear the operation, Drs. Beau - din and .&nbry will take off the left leg as the only hope for his recovery. Just exactly how the dreadful accident occurred will never be exactly known, since the only two men who could have explained it are cold in death. It is, how- ever, known that there was between one hundred and two hundred pounds of dyna- mite in a shanty in the middle of Wall street. This dynamite was to be used blasting a dam which was for waterworks' purposes and which Was being constructed close at hand. • The dynamite was in charge of Teles- phore Seguin, foreman, who ' it is said took for the first time a stove into the shanty Monday night. It is surmised that Martin and Seguin were engagedin thaw- ing dynamite to be used on the waterworks excavations which are in progress., Wood- work close by became ignited .and while engaged in extinguishing the, &tines the unfortunates forgot About the deadly ex- plosive. xplosive. Soon it was surrounded by flames and in a moment blew up. Martin was decapitated, his head being crushed to a jelly. Seguin was terribly cut up and is frightfully disfigured. Larouche, who was passing by at the time, was disfigured almost beyond identification. Barbeau, a a school boy who was passing at the time, had a portion of his head blown off, along with one arm. The wooden shanty disappeared by the explosion altogether and nothing left to show where it was standing. There is no rent or excavation on the streets caused by the explosion. The damage consists of broken windows, which, as already stated for fifty yards on each side, are smashed to pieces, broken doors and houses badly shaken. The early hour at which the explosion took place prevented more from being in - chided in the list of killed, as there were few people on the street at the time and only some of the workmen commencing to get around. FRUIT GROWERS IN SESSION. Interesting Papers React Before the Cor,- vention by Prominent Members. OnuLIA, Ont., Dec. 5.—The fruit grow- ers' convention was inaugurated here last night by a very well attended public meet- ing in Shaftsbury Hall.

TonoNvo, Nov. 29. — The preliminary eranaintttion of Clara Ford, charged frith the murder of F't'anic Westwood, was held yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Westwood, Dr. Lynd, Stephen Leslie and Miss Ellen Wat- son, all witnesses at the inquest, testified to the shooting of Young Westwood, giv- ing practically the sante evidence its given at the inquest. The latter thot►ght she saw the prisoner on Jameson avenue the night of the tragedy Other ,witnesses testified as to Miss Ford's movements on that night. Serge. Reburn then took the stand. He said: "The prisoner was brought into the station about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of last 'Tuesday. In the detective office on the desk were the clothes and revolver, She was brought in and sat opposite me, I told iter she was suspected of a very serious offence --the shooting of Frank Westwood: I cautionedlter. Site said she was at the theatre on the night in question with Flora McKay, I told her not to say anything that was untrue. She said that after she left the theatre she went up Yonge street. It was then ten minutes past 11. She said she did not know Frank Westwood at all. "Subsequently when the Croziers had left I took her into the conunissioners' room and she remarked ; •'There's no use misleading you any longer in the nuttier.' Site was warned again not to say anything. "Then she said, tI shot Frank West wood.' "What was Your reason ?" asked Re - burn. "About Dui July he tried to knock me down at the foot of Jameson avenue and assault me, He often teased me because I was colored. • I went along liing street to Dufl ei•in anti then down into a street, where I took off this skirt and this jacket. I put them under the crossing. I had the male clothes on underneath my dress. "I could not tell what time it was. I saw Frank Westwood, and two more oh Jameson avenue. I went down to the foot of Jameson avenue and stood in the dark on the east side. I saw Frank come down and go in the house. I went through the picket fence and into Mr. Westwood's premises. I got behind a tree and stood there for fifteen or twenty minutes: Then. I went up and rang the door bell. There was a dim light in the hall. Frank West- wood came to the door and leaned out. Then I shot at him, but I never dreamed I was going to kill him. I only fired one shot, then ran down to the boat house and w ,'t back and got the clothes. Then at the foot of Dufferin street I went under- neath the wharf and along the waterfront to the foot of Bathurst street. From Bathurst street I went to King street and from there to my house on York street. When I used to live up there I was teased and tantalized by the boys. I think it was all right to wear men's clothes. I had six cartridges. • I shot Frank Westwood with one and at ducks with the other." The next morning Rebtun saw her again, when she remarked: "I guess my time's short." Reburn suggested that she should get a lawyer, but she said that she did not want any. She said she was going to plead guilty and tell the whole story to the magistrate. Then she sent for Mr. Mur- doch and lie came. While Reburn was relating this most damning evidence the prisoner sat motion- less in the dock with her gaze fixed squarely on the magistrate. Her attitude Seemed to be that of an injured woman rather than anything else. Her lawyer objected to the evidence as being irrele- vant to the inquiry. His objection was noted. Defendant was then committed for trial. Must Brand Their Cheese. LONDON, Dec. 5.—In consequence of numerous complaints from London deal- ers that their orders for September cheese from Canadian shippers are often found to have been filled with cheese of an inferior quality and earlier manufacture the Lon- don Produce Brokers' Association and the Liverpool and Glasgow dealers held con- current meetings and unanimously passed resolutions in favor of inerasably brand- ing randing the day and month of manufacture upon the cheese itself instead of upon the box in which it is enclosed, Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian High Commissioner in Great Britain, to whom the resolutions were presented, promised that they should be forwarded. The Canadian Copyright. 'r.. Loi cox, Dec. 5.—The Times publishes a long letter from Mr. Marston, of the firm of Low, Marston & Co., London, publish- ers, on the subject of Anglo -Canadian copyright. Mr. Marston expressed the opinion that if Canada requires cheap literature she can easily be supplied with- out going to the United States, and that if she cannot supply herself she can be sup- plied in abundance by Great Britain. The only Act she needs to pass, he says, is a local one, but one far more stringent than the acts of 1847 and 1875. He does not believe that if the proposed Act was sanc- tioned the Anglo-American copyright law would be endangered or rescinded. Fatal Runaway Accident. NAPANEE, Ont., Dec. 4.—A runaway ac- cident occurred here yesterday, which re- sulted in the. death of George D. Dettor, an old and respected resident of Napanee.

Most Important Testimony from the Cured Man Kidney Disease was Dragging Him to the Grave—Intense suffering borne for i5 years—All the Ordinary Medicines had failed to meet the case—A trial of Paine's Celery Compound— two bottles of ,;life-giving medicine banished every trace of disease. The world has never had a grander or nobler benefactor than Prof, Edward E. Phelps, M. P,, L. L. D, He was the discoverer of Paine's Celery Compound, that marvellous During medicine that has dragged to many victims of disease, from the brisk of the grave. Thousands of cured men and women have already contributed 'their grateful testimony to the extraordinary curing powers of the great medicine in cases of kidney and liver troubles, Bright's disease, palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia and in- digestion, nervousness, loss of sleep, depression of spirits, sick headache, loss of vital forces, rheumatism, sciatica and neuralgia; and a new testimony is coming every day from all sections:of Canada. Paine's Celery Compound is doing a work among the tick and diseased that no other medicine kiss ever done; is cures the worst cases and raises up those who have been pronounced incurable. The follow- ing testimony f,om Mr C F Kevill, of Dunsford, Ont„ is strong, convincing, cheering and comforting:— "I wish to testify in favor of the wonder. ful curative powers of Paine's Celery Com- pound for two seacoast first in justice to the prop, is' ors ;and;aecondly, for thebenefit of suffering humanity. ',For the past fifteen years I have been troubled with deceased kidneys. I am engaged in the manufacture of cheese, and am obliged to work mere or less in a stooping posture. At times I found it almost impossible to work'owing to severe pains across my kidneys. • Often, after working in a stooping position for a time, I would find it very difficult to straighten up at once, and could only do so after repeated efforts. • ' •Of late years, while laboring udder' these revere attacks, I became very nervous, and continually hal tired,worn out feelings My rest at night seemed to dome no good, and I always felt tiled in the morning. "Qad been taking various medicines and was gettfag worse all the time. At last I decided to give Paine's Celery; Compound a trial. I procured a bottle, and took it according to directions, and found its effects wonderful. Before 1 had used the first bottle I began to improve; after I had used the second bottle I felt as well as ever did in my life. Iliad banished all aches and pains, my nervousness was all gone, and the tired and worn-out feelings were bani- shed. I can go to bed now and sleep well, and rise in the morning rested and re- freshed "I have recommended Paine's Celery Compound to my friends who were suffer- ing from the same troubles as I bad, and all have been greatly benefitted, Knowing what it has done, I can cheerfully recom- mend it to anyfpersonsufferingfrom kidney disease."
