NOTES AND COMMENTS Production of firat-dass stock pays eyen in these days of keen competia on among agriculturists. At the sale of Shropshire sheep at Harriugton Hall, Eng., the other day, a shearling t up sold for $1,150, and an average of $209 for 45 rams was obtained. x x x Labor Day comes within a few weeks after the oivio holiday.For seven weeks -from July 1 to August 19-- there is now no publio holiday. The Coun- cil of 1896 must equalize matters. The civic holiday right very fairly be ob- served in connection with Labor Day. x x The price of wheat and oats is steadi- ly declining. The latter will reach twenty cents before long, The price of wheat fell nine cents and that of oats, six cents, in the past few vveelcad It is not likely that grams and seeds will everreach the high prices of a few years ago. The acreage under culti- Tation Is so large, that the supply is • constantly on the inerease, and low prices must rule for some years until • Odle induatrytakes the place of grain growing. The price of hay on the other hand will gradually increase. • X X X A significant thing in HomtMr. Lau: ma's address at Chicoutimi on Satur: day was that he praised Hon. Mr. An; gem for his pluckiness in resigning from the Howell Ministry when the Govern: anent refused to pass a remedial act. This is a gory clear indication of the course that would be followed if ever Mr. Laurier held the reins of Govern: merit. It, is patent to everyone who has watched the Liberal leader's course that the cause of national echools will not be advanced by his efforts. x x Among the virtues amassed by •the bicycle is that of sobriety. Under no circumstances will it countenance in- temperance, and it steadily realties to support any man or WOM1111 who is guilty of undue indulgence in the intoxicating cup. The machine is a confirmed Sabbath breaker and carries many a young man and woman away from chureh; it has broken off many a carefully planned engagement of marri- egeabIe couples,by alienating the affect- ions of the swain; it has created divis- ions between husband and wife, and even divided women's skirtin indirectly ib has made a breach between school trustees and the teachers; and nob in- frequently does it tumble its owner in the dusb and batter him, while prostrate with mud -soaked pneumatic tires. All these vices can be trustfully charged a.gainat the wheel, and many more, no doubt, but the one thing that it stands out against with both wheels is exces- sive indulgence in male or apirituous liquors. The temperance societies ought to canonize the bacycle. x The Manitoba farmer has appareetly , ..had a sueeessful season, and harvested • an enormous yield of wheat, Yet there ie a fly, end a great big one in his °int- • ment, Great Britain, France, and Germany are the great consuming coun- tries of the world.

Thia is the largest estimate for blighted affeetions made in a long time. It bas not been explained so far whether the damages are estiniated on the sweetness of the loye letters and verbal protestations, with acoompanying oscu- lation, or on the size of his purse,. It is an interesting problem. x Pontiac, Mich., is goiag, a little fur- ther in the enforcement of Sunday ler than any other piece yet heard froril. Reataurants, saloons, candy stores and tobacco stands are closed on Sunday, and ice cream dealers may not deliver their goods to customers on tbat day. Now, over a hundred citizens have signed a petition asking that the livery stables be dosed. and yet another pet- ition has been circulatedand extensively signed asking that milkmen and ice men be prohibited from plying their business en Sunday. There is a notion among the Sabbatarians that the latter petitioa is a device of the enemy andiet mworking it very seriously and energet- ically, andwith a good show of success, •x X x An American paper says that so much fruit has been raised in California this season that the local markets haye been glutted,and in San Francisco tons of melons, pears and plums have been thrown into the eea. One day recently canteloapes were selling in ban Fran- cisco for ten cents a crate, and water- melons could aob be sold at even two to five cents each. That same afternoon 500 crates of eanteloupes, 200 crates of watermelons and a great amount of plumbs and pears were „dimmed iato the bay. How must Sir Richard and his great leader, Mr. Laurier, lament the opportunity which the Californians thus deliberately threw away, when they failed to secure the Canadian mar' kets for the troublesome fruits. .-E=t -Many Canadians have ruined theca- .. X X X selves paying reasonable intereston borrowea money. Bittet experience is thinning the ranks of the borrowers. Men may be slower to lend than they were years ago, huh 18 18 also true that men are slower to borrow. There is a good deal of uncertainty as to what rate of interest a raan can pay in this country and use borrowed money at a profit. Unless in exceptional cases, the man whe pays six, seven and eighb per cent., uses his borrowings at a lose. The days of bigh interest and good security are about done in Canada. Money has been too dear, ia ton dear yet, and, unless there is some unexpect- ed development in co ranierce or indus- try, the rates of interest will be lower before they are higher. x x The Dominion Statisahane who is a man of figures and acquainted with books, has been investigating the cost of education in the several provinces of the Doininioi. and has disco.vered that Manitoba spends more money proport- ionately than any of the other pro- vinces. People of the Prairie Province pay at the rate of $2.02 per head. of population, while British Columbiana end residents of Ontario expend $1.87 per capita. Since 1888 Nova Scotia's expenditure has decreased from $1..51 per head to $1.45. Ontario remained stationary while all the others increased their allowances. Quebec is ab the bobtom of the list, but in the interval between '88 and '95 she has increased 5 cents or from 81 to 87 cents per head. The averages of all the provinces show that the people of Canada are uove pay- ing at the rate of $1.06 per head of population for the purpose of .pubito schools, which is an increase in per capita expenditure since 1888 of 6 cents, xzx Mr. Laurier has declared again and again that his position on the school question its the same in Quebec and in Ontario, from the Atlantic to the Paci- fic. Mr. Laurier seated in this city that he did not believe irt acting blindly; that his policy was a polieyof investigat in into the alleged grievances of the minority in Maritoba. Then if upon investigation he found that the alleged grievances were real, he would have a remedy to propose. That in brief is the position he took in Ontario. Now comes a despatch from 'Grand River, Quebec, purporting to represent certain remarks of Mr. Laurier whieh are wide- ly different in tone He was address- ing a Liberal gathering and waa asked by one Dr Enna; it he, fdr. Laurier, would support Sir Mackenzie Sowell in nettling the school question favorably to the Oatholin minority of Manitoba. Ple' retired Oa he would support the Gov - mamma in suelf a policy. Further, he deelared that he epoke not for him. eelf alone but as leader of the Liberal parry. Now if that dispatch be true, it shows that Mr. Letter is net a states- man but an office seeker.

One of the oldest residents of Westminster Township died on Thursday on lot 19, con. 3, in the person of Mrs. James Bla,kie. She was born in March, 1800, in Selkirk - shire, Scotland.

Mrs Blakie, with their six children, came to Canada, and settled on the 'sixth line of con. 5,Westminster township, which was then a forest. Another shoobing accident, evhich will in all probability terminate fat- ally, took place at Mr. Wilmot's, East Oxford, the other day.. A boy about 14 years of age named Daniel's, who is working for Mr. Wilmot, had an old revolver, which he handed to a young friend, Miller, who lives on the adjoining farm. The boys did not know that one chamber was loaded, and Miller was playing with it when it went off and lodged its contents in Daniel's forehead. The bullet has not been located and the boy lies in a critical condition. A horrible discovery was made 'on the farm of the Rathburn Company at Napanee Mills on Wednesday. A gang of men were digging for terra cotta day when they discovered, under only one foot of earth, a skeleton of a man or woman with a large knife stickbeg iii the breast. Thebody was not enclosed in a coffin or any kind of a box. The knife is dagger shaped, about fourteme inches long, and much eaten by -rust. The diseovery has caused intense excite- ment, and is generally connected with the disappearance of a man a few years ago. The skeleton and knife ware rereiented to a place of safety for the purpose of investiga- tion, but mysteriously disappeared Wednesday night. Henry Gibson, of Listowel, appear- ed before Judge Woods ab Stratford on a charge of perjury Wednesday.. It appears that Gibson obtained a, maeriagelicense from. Thos.

He made affid- avit that he was a resident of the township, and that the girl was 18 years of age, whereas she is not yet 16 and is unwilling to marry. It is also alleged that his anxiety to marry her was because he had transgressed the law which leaves him amenable to the workings of the Charlton Ace. The mother svas a party to Gibson's scheme to get the marriage cousumate ed, and Rev. Mr. Gunner, of Listowel, was approached to perform the ceremony, but considering the affitin suspicious, he declined. Gibson plead- ed tot gulity and elected to be taled by dai ge Woode.

Investigation shows that Mr. Charles Hatt, who was reported as having hanged himself in a a of des- pondency at Sorel, Q., did not come to his death by his own hand, but was found dead in his chair at his resid- ence at Sorel, having died of syncope of the heara as was brought out at the coroner's inquest. A terrible accident befell Joseph Robinson, an employe of the Stewart Man. Co., Woodstock, the other afternoon, the results of which may be disfigurement for life.

Three distinct eartliquelte shocks were felt by the residents of Brook- lyn about, 6 o'clock Monday morning, They were not see -ere, as no damage to life or property is reported. The districts of East New York and South Brooklyn received the greatest shock, but it was also distinctly- feltin other directious. From telegra,phic re- ports lb appears that the earthquake was felt an Staten Island. and throughout New jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania, AS far south as Phil- adelphia. Under the power of a Mortgage held by the McLead estate, the Agri- cultural Pair Grounds, located at the northern limits ef Woodstock, were ,offered for sale by public auction on Saturday.

L)euth of Mr. Isaac) Carling, ar At 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, el ter an illness of Many years, it highly respected resident of Exeter iu the person of In= Carling, . passed quietly away at" his hitherto happy and beautiful home on Huron street. With the death of Mr. Carling, an- other of the familiar lencluneries anteing the older inhabitants of these parts passes away. Mr. Carling had been noted far and wide as an active and enterprising man of hnsieess, in both public and private capacity, and equally so as a genial and hospitable gentleman, well spoken off by all who had ever known hire. Several yearsetgo he had a stroke of paraly- sis, and front then until the last lie was quite incapacitated, and: all but entirely helpless. Through all the years that he was in this condition Mr. Carling received an affectionate care from the members of his family that was unique in its sleepless and unselfish devotion.. His sorrowing wife and. sons and daughters may draw some share of consolation fox. the loss of akincl husband and father, from the consciousness of having clone all that lay in human hands for the invalid, wbo bore his dreadful affliction with exemplary meekness and patience, year in and year out unc omplainingly. Mr. Isaac Carling was boxo ia the township of London, in April, 1825, when this eection was a wilderness. He was one of wham it could be truly said, that, a true native of the soil, he "grew up with the country" from its earliest beginnings as it sea Cement. He served an apprentice- ship as a tanner With the late Mr. E. W. -Hyman, of London, and on cora- leting his term started a tannery ill Exeter, which has since grown from the smallest hamlet into a large an d floudishing centre of business. In addition to his business ireEstet- er he established the tannery now on Richmond street, London, which he afterwards sold to Mr. E.W.Hym an, and then came to Exeter to reside. Deceased was for some years a •member of the County Council of Huron, when reeve of Stephen town- ship, was the founder and first reeve of Exeter, at -ad represented the South Riding in the Local Legislat- ure from 1868 to 187118 the Sandfield- Macdonald Government, and he was a supporter of that administration. Throughout his career, very few men stood higher in this section of count- ry. From the time of starting the town of Exeter, which he had the privilegeofnaming-, until his life's end, he was held in the highest respect and regard by the whole community.
