CANADIAN BACON IN ENGLAND Says the London correspondent of the Montreal Trade Bulletin:—There is not enough Canadian bacon on the Market. I don't wish to blow too much about this, but will quotes lead- ing authority to show that others be- gin to share my views; ---"Canada is in ))risk demand, and so popular is the brand beebrriingthat this week's arriv- al cannot 11021111 the demand, and all orders bave to be cutdown." Yes, Can- adian bacon has come to stay: 58s to CIOs 55s t0 58s and 52e to 50s shows its con3Vileteo gradient. The finest bacon ever cured in this country cannot get more than Os higher than the top for Canadian, nor can the boasted Danish do any bettor. Let it be sent along and it can be sold. • , _ The Orr Murder. Both preseri>,tion and defence are working hard, getting ready for the Allison murder trial next month. As everyone knows, the fight will be about the hour the boy took the cows to Barrie's. The Crown will endeavor to prove that Allison and Roddy were not these at the same time, and it is said they have found a witness wlao SOW Roddy a mile or more from Barrie's long before Dryden saw Allison. On the other hand. the defence will try to prove that Mrs. Orr could not do the milking in less than hour, and was therefore alive at eight o'clock, the time at wlaiebAllison was seen driving the cows down the lane. The defence are confident of an acquittal. Don't Leave 'Yourself Liable. The Ontatio Gazette on Saturday whip contain an announcement, the pur- port of which is given here, andthe Tans readers should note care- fully the following, or they may be liable to the loss of sundry scores of dollars :--- At the last session of the Legislature an act respecting joint stock companies was passed. In clause 101 of this act it is provided that every company not incorporated by or under the authority of an act of the Legislature of Ontario, which now or prior to the 1st day of November, 1897, carries on business in ' r DAtar 10 11' ar' OSB Or ,L n given for its la object, 'for the carrying on of which a company mightbe incorporated under this act, shall, on or before the lst day of November, 1897, make out and transmit to the Provincial Secretary a statement under oath, showing :-- "The — "The corporate name of the com- pany. w "How and under what special or e ral thewasincorpor- ated, n or or - g general act company c p ated, and the act amending such special or general act.

Win. 'McCullough has been appoint- ed assistant sanitary inspector for Berlin. There is a great demand for railway cars in Manitoba, wheat is being sent east with s0 much vigor. The C.P. R. one day recently sent out 137 carloads of grain from 'Winnipeg, 80 cents a a bun hd being paid. g Thr greatest crowd ever carried on the London street railway heretofore numbered about 00000)eo le. This WAS set in the shade en Wed- nesday last, when over 75,000 people were carried to and from dif- ferent parts of the city. Over 5,000 fares were collected on the Potters - burg line. Min. rludwan, a prominent farmer. ar Camden, Ark., and his two sons e kilIecl by gas while cleaning out a ve , le of the boys went clown first and netsoS'ercome by thepoisonous gas. When the other went down to get hind out, he met a like fate. The father then went down to see what was the matter, and was likewise killed. Splendid rains have fallen in Russia • during the last few days . over a wide :area, especially in the Pnniaub. This a,s,snres a bounteous harvest. The rain is worth millions of rupees to the country, and a fall of prices must shortly occur. India should have a surplus of wheat for export in a few rnontlns hence, the crops' being exceed- ingly good, • f,; he, +all -term of the High Court, Justice hick opened a,t aodorich on Monday t le following criminal cases Went befor the Grand Jury.

The civil list for this conrt i- sort one, SOUTH HURON FAIR, The fall fair r of the South Huron Agricultural Society was held in Exe ter on Monday and Tuesday, in con- junction with the Stephen & Usborne branch. The weather was perfect, and a large crowd came oat on Tues- day, nearly $600 being taken • at the gate. There was a large falling off in exhibitors compared with other years, and the indoor departments were next to failures. Ladies' work was short, fruit sinal], . grain poor, roots worse, While manufactures were meagre in- deed. The ent-door show was better ; horses, up to the standard, cattle good, sheep and hogs fair, poultry about as usual. Altogether, however, the fair was not nearly equal to last year, and many were the complaints heard on all sides. Following is the prize list :- HORSES. — HELVVY DRAUGW . — Brood mare, A.

SPECIA ATTRACTIOxS.—There were elaborate special attractions advertis- ed, but for some reason the whole thing resulted in a fizzle,disgustingthe crowd, and which did more to injure the fair than the $40 saved in prize money. There were some fast horses present, and their entrance money was taken without question, but when the race was called, several were ruled out, and the 2:30 race, the event of the day, was declared off Finally the horsemen all agreed to enter the con- test, but the managers said no, "the race has been declared off, and we can save $40." There were four entries in the Farmers' Trot., which was won by R. Brock's (Winchelsea) Fern Leaf," R. Frost's, "Rutledge"; J. Dnnkin's "Black Bird." The bicycle race was won by A.

He suffered greatly from Kidney Trouble and Indigestion—He Doc-, tored for aLong Time Without Getting Any Relief. From the Standard, Cornwall. The march of the World's progress is forced, protracted and continuous, the competition for supremacy is keen. The man of business must keep rank if he would secure any convetable mea- sure of success. The watchfulness, vigilance and thought involved in modern superintendency produces a severe strain on the physicaland men- tal powers of modern business men, and exposes them to the attacks of certain diseases. Considering that much depends on health in this strug- gle, it behooves those who wonld be victorious, to guard against the first approach of disease. Neglect of early adjustment of digestive and kidney disorders is often fraught with dire results, added to this is the unpar- douahle trifling with health by experi- menting with all manner of worthless decoctions. It is simply invaluable to make the acquaintances of a safe and effective remedy such as Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. James Macpherson, hotel keeper in the village of Lancaster, Glengarry county, a^s done business for a number of years in Lancaster, aud having successfnlly catered for the patronage of the travelling public therefore is favorably known not only at home but also abroad. In conver- sation with a newspaper reporter he enumerated some of his ailments and how he was cured. About two years ago be said," my whole digestive ap- paraatus seemed to become disordered. Soave clays I could move around, then again I would be obliged to go to bed. I tried several things but with indiffer- ent success- Occasionally 'felt relieved but in a day or two the old symptoms would return with a more depressing effect. This kiud of thing went on until I became troubled with my kid. neys, which was a very annoying ad- dition to my .sufferings. 1 was rest- less.with a sensation of sickness at the stomach, with intermittent pain in the small of my back. I was miserable enough when 1 consulted the doctor who probably diel me some good, be- muse I felt relieved. The doctor's medicine was taken and bis directions obeyed, but I did not improve.' I had heard of the fame. of Dr. William's Pink Pills. My wife believed in them and nrged me to take them :1 am glad I did so for after taking one box I felt better and I continued taking the pills until I Was completely cured. This sutnmer I had an attack of the same. complain tsand I found Dr. Williams Pink Pills as effective as before., :I had this advantage my knowledge and belief in the pills saved me from costly and tedious experimenting such as.I had underone previously. limey fur- ther acid that both myself and Mrs. MacPherson have derived much benefit from the useO f Dr. Williams' .Pink Pills, and I can cordially recommend them to those who are suffering simi- larly." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerve, thus driving disease from the system.

Tb the Editor of the TIMES. The'undersigned has jest returned from a week's fishing and shooting at the small hamlet, of Port Frank, and as an account may interest so me sportmen I give it to you. I left Exe- ter on Saturday_ morning and was met at Brewester's Dam by Capt. Burley, who conveyed myself and companion by boat, some twelve Hailes down the river to his residence. Now the scenery is very good ou the old bed of the river Sauble, and the pike fishing is excellent. Having arrived at the Captain's home, where we stay, we found his genial wife ready to meet us, and while remaining there found a hostess who did everything to please, On Sunday we rowed down to the mouth of the river, some two miles below, and visited some campers and got our first taste of sand hill cherries. This fruit grows on a small bush like a cranberry bush, and I assure you, makes a splendid fruit for pies. They much resemble both in size and taste the famous mazzard or black cherry grown in Devonshire, and as we had the luck to get our hostess some, of which she made a pie, and added some cream, we both found thein splendid. The Indians in the vicinity and the villagers gather them in great num= bers. Captain Burley informed me that the black knot had lade great ravages amongst the bushes lately and they are becoming rarer every year. I got some fine specimens of silver orr, which was washed up off the reef a little south of the mouth of the river. While taking our meals I had the luck to have some ham from a pig which bad a history attached. It appears that whine Captain Burley, and has wife and another person were working in their garden early last year their attention was attracted to a large eagle which cane sailing toward them, and they were astonished to here the squeaks or squeal from an object in its talons. They all shouted and the dog barked loudly, and this seemed to frighten the king of birds, and he dropped a small pig close to Mrs. Burley's feet. This she took and reared and when killed in December last weighed one hundred and ninety five pounds. And now Mr. Editor I must close this with a word about the scenery. it is beautiful both above and below the place we rusticated at. One sand bill rears itself to the height of two hundred and fifty feet and from its summit on a clear clay by glass can be seen seven towns. If any sports- man requires good attention at a low cost and with perfect cleanliness I can recommend hum to write Captain Burley, who will do all in his power to please him both fishing or shooting.
