It is not generally IstleWle that at last session of the Legislature en act was passed, which is now in force, providing that where the husband dies without a will with property Worth less than !Sum everything goes to his Widow. Where he dies with more than $1,- 000, in the administration the widow will get $1,000 anyway. Thus a Widow will no longer be made to suffer through her hus- band's carelessness in not making a will. LightningAnd Barns. In view ot the large number of barns struck by lightning daring the last few days, a correspondent asks us if there is greater danger of barns being burned by light- ning when they are filled with pro- duce than when they are empty. Mr. llicAdie, a United States Government official, after exhaus- tive inquiry, submits these facts. Last year, prior to Aug. 1, 223 persons were reported as killed by lightning in this uountry, after that date, re3; dwelliugs struck. be- fore, Aug. 1, 173; alter, 87; church- es, before, to; atter, 15; barns, be- fore, 130; after, r8o, It thus appears that while much more than half the year's damage done by lightning in other directions oc- curred prior to the date mention- ed, a trifle more than halt the in jury to barns from that cause came afterward. Mr. McAdie mentions three possible reasons for this increased peril after har- vesting the orops: 1. The stalks of grass and growing grain serve as tiny lightning rods, and relieve the electric strain between sky and earth, but when they have been cut 'down only the buildings and trees are left to serve that purpose. 2. A full barn is warmer, and hence more readily ignited than /empty one. S. The vapor in the warm air, risingfrom a barn filled with new hay, attracts the electric current and invites a discharge by that route. These figures show the necessity tor barns being insured, or for possible losses being provided for otherwise. A neighboring farm- er tells us that he does not insure his buildings or stock, take ing his chances, by the saving of insurance premiums, to con -ie out ahead in a long run. Is he prudent? The question is one worthy of earnest disoussion. We would like to hear from uur farmer readers. NOTES AND COMMENTS -- Eine trade returns for the past two months indicate a gratifying increase in the trade of the country. The exports are valued at $24,- 878,/99, as against $22,559,419, or an increase of two millions and a quarter. The duty collected for the same period shows an increase of $318,000. Imports for the two months manifest a falling off of ex- actly two million dollars. x x x Pork packers again complain that farmers in 'Western Ontario are marketing too many "thick fat" hogs, and dealers have been noti- Aed that their hogs will not be eocepta.ble in future unless there is much improvement. It is alleged that the farmers haee been feeding softfeed to their pigs,and that with such feed it is next to impossible to produce the "long lean" des cription of hogs which the packers now find meets with the demand in the foreign markets. Farmers generally should heed the advice of the packers. If they can so re- gulate the feed of their hogs as to produce good material for the ex- port bacon trade they will com- mand the highest prices, and avoid disappointment. It is well to be- gtn the season with the under - Standing that the exporters ca.nnot make a profitable market for soft fed hogs. The trier of John William, of Lamm, Lo r argot, was fixed for yesterday be forerjudge Edward Elliot, at London. Wa have not heerd the moult. x x It was generally understood since the last session of the Legis- lature that horse raciug and fakirs were to be prohibited in connect- ion with Agricultural Fairs re- ceiving government grant. And so thoroughly was it understood that all the rural fairs have expuaged horse racing from their programs this year. The South Huron Society, however, seems to be a privileged concern, as at their fair in Exeter on Tuesday, horse racing and gambling were carried on in • the usual manner. If the law in this connection has been mis- intrepreted, it:would only be doing justice to an indulgent public for the Secretary, who by the way, is a member of the Legislature making the law, to explain its real object. There seems to be a good deal of misconception in this connection. According to the annual report of the conference officer the Young People's Sedates of the Methodist church have an aggregate mernbership of 66,757. TRE EXETBIR TIME .. . ,... , 1 .

The expenditure this year shows a deficiency of $170.4t. At a wedding at Meat Cove, 'C. B., on Tuesday night, a disturbance was created by parties under theinfluence of liquor, and during the fracas tour men were seriously cut with 'a jack- knife. An agitation is being worked up amongst the Germans of the North- west Territories to have the use of the German language allowed in the schools. Mr. Peter Glassen ofRost- hern has written a strong letter in support of the movement. Mr. D. McNicoll, general passen- ger agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who has just returned to Montreal from a, trip to the Pacific Coast, is of the opinion that the splendid crops will have a good effect upon immigration. At a meeting of the City Council of Toronto the City Medical Health Officer was given the necessary au- thority to enforce the provisions of the Shops Regulations Act, and to appoint any officers,male and female, necessary to carry out the Act. The inquest on the body of Police- man Leonard, who was fono.d dead with a bullet in the head Tuesday morning on McCaul street, Toronto, was held Tuesday evening, but de- veloped no new facts. The jury re- turned a verdict of suicide after a, few minutes' deliberation. Patrick Kirvan, of Alboyne, met with a fatal accident on Saturday evening at John McGowan's mills, Alma. While he was unloading a load of flax he fell through the rack and broke his neck. He was about 45 years old, and leaves a, widow and ten children to mourn his loss. A. number of grain men met at the Boa,rd of Trade,Toronto, on Friday to strike the Ontario grain standard. Messrs. H. M. Baird, S. Flynn, J. S. Spink and John Carrick represented Toronto; B. Thompson, J. A. Magee, Montreal; R. R Morgan. Hamilton; 0. B. Hunt, London, and W. Borclie, Quebec. Very little difference exists between this year's standard as de- cided by the meeting and that of last year, save as to barley, svhichisbelow last year's in color. Delina Fitzpatrick, corn monly call- ed "Pat the Diver," died from con- sumption at the Amasa, Wood Hos- pital. St. Thomas, Sunday, aged 34 years. Although young he has for years been addicted to strong drink, and during the past twowinters slept in barns, where hedoubtless contract- ed the disease. He was brought into notoriety by the Hendershottuourder trial. Both Welter and Hendershott selected him as a victim, and made severalunsuccessful attempts to place insurance upon his life. The death occurred at Sarnia Tuesday of Wm. Vidal, second son of the late Emeric Vidal, county treas- urer. The boy was passionately fond of firearms. He anda Detroit friend, Art. Williams, went out to shoot blackbirds, Vidal taking with him a double-barreled shotgun loaded with No. 4 shot. While crossing a picket fence on theoldrefinery lot, dragging the gun after him, and holding the barrel near the muzzle, the charge exploded and the contents lodged in his right shoulder, making afrightf ul wound three or four inches in diam- eter, lacerating the upper portion of tbllsaedlie-mg- and shattering the shoulder A special prize of 8100 was given by the Exhibition Association, and the Holstein Association ($50 each), for the cow being the largest pro- ducter at the Toronto IndustrialFair. There were nine competitors in the test, which was conducted by Prof, Day of the Guelph Agricriltural Col- lege. The first prize was taken by0. J. Gilroy & Son, GIen Buell, Ont., entry 729, Holstein cow; yield of milk in 48 hours,122 pounds 10 ounces; 'high- est percentage of fat daring the test, 3; lowest percentage, 2,68; total solids 14,815 pounds. The second place was secured by R. Redford, St. Anne de Bellevues Ont., with an Ayrshire cow. Three prominent young men of Windsor, St. Thomas and Kingsville respectively are in the Central Police Station, Detroit charged with smug- gling. They were arrested Saturday with $00 worth of silks in their pos- session, which they a short thne be- fore their arrest had brought from Windsor. The identity of the trio proved startling. One is Walter C. Learoyd, aged 27, junior member of the firm of -Learoyd Bros. prominent dry goods merchants of Detroit and sonar Rev. Learoyd of St. Marys, and another, Wm. McDonagh, aged 27, son of Rev, Wm. McDonagh of Kings- ville. The third. is Harry L. Drake, of St Thomas, aged 26, and brother of the wife of A. D. Learoyd. He came to Windsor a few days ago to visit his sister. When first question- ed by the detectives the aecnsed said some unknown man had paid them a few dollars to bring the goods across a,nd leave them at the hotel where they were arrested. The police gave slight credence to this story. It has since transpired. that McDonagh, al- though at the hotel, was not in th e least implicated in the tearisaetion. Th.e Latest News. Windsor is to have another 30clays' race meeting. This will have been three months' races in that city There are a eleven murder cases set for trial at the various fall assizes in Ontario during the next few weeks. A boy named Martin, belonging to St. Pierre, Island of Orleans, died Thursday- from the effects of having swallowed a bean. Christopher Lawden,of Bloomfield, Ont was kicked by a horse Sunday, and. received such injuries that his life is despaired of. Saturday was the hottest of the year in Chicago and Omaha, several deaths resulting while on Sunday snow fell in Wyoming and Chicago. The M. C. R. station at Windsor was destroyed by fire Sunday after- noon at one o'clock; alsothe highway bridge over the track, on Sandwich street. The home of Mr. A. McLean, who resides two miles north of Dutton, was struck by lightning at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. The chimney and part of the roof was torn off. A report spread. • around Toronto Thursday afternoon that Sir Frank Smith had died suddenly in his office. It was quite untrue. Ons"inquiry it was learned that the Senator was at home and. quite well. A young man named Joseph Vogel; of Windsor, committed suicide by shooting Saturday night. His body was foundby men engagedin herding horses on MacDougall street, The revolver was by MS side. He was unmarried and about 34 years old. John Little whose neck was brok- en by a fall from a stone wagon in the Canadian Pacific Railway yards, Winnipeg, some time ago, andvvhose life was watched by the surgical fra- ternity with intense interest, has re- coverecl almost entirely, and will be around in a few days. The Brant fall assizes, without a jury, commenced on Tuesday. The most interesting case will be that of Hartley vs. Hartley, the widow and son of the lateealeb Hartley. Deceas- ed had an insurance of 81000 in the Home Circle, and the wife and son hoth claim the amount, hence the action. Mr. Robert Johnston, one of the oldest residents of Moore township, dropped dead at his residence on Wednesday ea orning, of heart disease, aged 81 years. Mr. Johnston had. taken his breakfast in bed, and was walking outside the house, when he suddenly fell dead. Deceased was born in Tyrone, Ireland, coming to this country in 1831. Miss Amanda Hudon, of Montreal, has taken an action for $5,000 dam- ages against the Sisters of Mercy. She states that she had entered the order in 1888, and tookthe vows two years later. On the 7th of this mon- th she alleges the Superioress dis- missed her penniless. She further complains that the Superioress re- fused to give her a certificate to establish that she bad not been ex- pelled for any dishonorable reason. Fifty head of cattle belonging to David Stewart, near Leroy, Ind., be- came afflicted with blindness, and after a careful investigation it was found that the cattle had been herd- ed on a pasture Which had been burned over in the spring, leaving a layer of ashes on the ground The dry weather caused an impalpable dust to arise while the cattle were feeding, which found its way into their eyes and caused inflammation and blindness. All the Ministers but one are now assembled at Ottawa, Hon. Mr. Daly being still in the North-west. The political situation is therefore taking on the enlivening aspect that is naturally the fruit -of summer spent in agreeable actiyities away from the beat and humdrum of the capital at such season. Among the topics, we understand, now freely: discussed in high quarters, are the probabilities of an early assemblage of Parliament. A Montreal Star cable from Lon- don says :-With reference to Sir Oliver 1VIowat's ill -health, I learn that the Ontario Premier left London some time ago for the North of Ens land, where it is believed he still is. At the time of leaving London he Was indisposed and Ins health con tinued somewhat unsatisfactory. Sonic friends, however, state that nothing serious is the matter.

The special attractiou, and that which drew the largest crowd, was the horse. racing, and some keenly contested beets were witnessed, both in the open and green trots, GREEN TROT. -In this race there were live entries, and each heat was keenly cantested, all being determined to win. The horse owned by W. D. Shafer, of Parkhill, which wag a prob- able winner was ruled off in the 3rd heat, on account of an accident which befel W. R, Hedging, who in turning onto the grass to passShafer,was thrown from his sulky. ECodgins' horse then ran away and was not caught until it had gone around the track three times. No injury was done, the horse being kept on the track until it had become tired. Following is the summary :- W. D. Shafer, Parkhill, Prince Victor 1 3 - W. Simpson, Parkhill, Little Maud 4 4 2 W. R.
