FRIDAY, AUG. G, 18097.
Quaon Vicroau's Jubilee has terrain.
abed and the Hage, banners, hurrahs, ad•
dreseee, dm., area thing of the past, but
Premier Laurier's celebration is still in
progress and will ollnlinate in the Old
Country by a personal interview with
Her Majesty. Wherever he has gone his
praises have been sung and Canada was
never better represented, A. telegram
from Montreal says :-Ilon. C. A. Geoff.
rion, who came to town this morning
from his Summer residence at Vaudreuil,
where he spent the first day at home after
returning from England, says that the
press stated that the Canadian premier
was the tion of the day in the capital of
the empire. Hie prestige was not limited
to official oiroles and the higher classes,
but extended to the masses, everyone
being anxious to get a glimpse at the
great colonial leader. The great popu-
larity of Sir Wilfrid in London among
the people was demonstrated especially
on two occasions -at the Aldershot naval
review and at the distribution of medals
to the colonial troops. On these oaeesi.
one Mr. Geoffrion was accompanied by
Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurier, and
whenever the carriage had to stop in the
procession, a0 s0011 and the crowds around
recognized the Canadian Premier they
cheered him lustily and waved their hats
and handkerchiefs. As regards priucs
and high dignitaries, smilingly added Mr.
Geoffrion, it may fairly be said that Mr.
Laurier had to keep therm back from
pressing too much around him. In Poria
very Boon the popularity of the Canadian
Premier became almost as great as in
Lordon, and the flattering references
made in the Paris press were surpassed
only by the honors officially bestowed by
the President of the Republic. When
Mr. Geoffrion left Paris arrangements
were being made for a dinner to bo given
Sir Wilfrid by the French piss.

last twenty years, is down in many place Wool
es 011(1 will be difficult to harvest. Spriug
wheat, oats and peas aro exceedingly
heavy, also considerably damaged, About
half of the Play Drop is seonred in good
condition, but all that was out and lying
in the fields is worthless. Potatoes and
other rout crops are looking well. Fruit,
especially apples, are about an average,
Weather unsettled and harvesting at a
standstill for a week.
Elora -Tile rain crop in this loaality is
depreciated 50 per cent. and the out Play
is largely destroyed. The fall wheat is
considerably damaged ; the barley is
beaten down badly, and the other spring
crops are more or less damaged. The
crops generally are exceediugly heavy,
and if fine weather sets 111 there will be a
good Drop.
Kincardine -The heavy rains have
done considerable damage to the hay. In
a few eases fanners have been able to save
their crops, but they are the exception.
Tho majority hail only a part out, which
had to remain in the fields, and some of
it will not be of much use. what re-
mains, if no more rains comes, will be
saved, although somewhat ripe. The
wheat has in part been broken down by
the rain, but the most of it will be saved.
The quality and yield will be good. Bar-
ley and oats promise well and have not
been affected. 11 weather proves favor-
able the returns will be good. Early peas
will suffer from mildew. Root crops
good ; fruit short, On the whole, the
outlook is good.
Listowel -Grain and hay in this section
was above the average. A great deal of
hay was cut and iu the fields when the
rain came on, and is about spoiled.
Wheat and other grain slightly damaged.
Fruit crop very light.
Mitchell -There is a great crop of hay,
but uufortnnately a very large quantity
of it is still out, and much of 1t has been
damaged with rein. There is =immense
crop of fall wheat in this district this sea-
son, all ready to cut -mora than ready in
fact, but weather has been contrary. It
is a great sight to see field after field of
the finest wheat overlooked upon waiting
for the harvester, The latter crops are
looking well, though the oats are rather
short. Roots are looking well since the
rains have ceased.
St. Marys -About 50 per emit, of the
Play crop in this section has been badly
damaged by the recent rains. Root crops
are excellent, and grain crops have not
been better for many years. On the
whole the prospects are Most encouraging.
Southampton -The general appearance
of mops ie this district would promise
more than an average yield. Wheat, fair
average. Peas, oats and barley are all
looking well, and promise an abundant
yield. Prospects are good for all kinds of
root crops.
Walkerton -The rain of the past few
days has caused considerable damage to
the crops in this neighborhood, bat not
so much as was at first feared. Most of
the hay was already saved. Standing
grain was beaten down pretty flat, but
otherwise being little hurt. Some of the
wheat in shook is sprouting a little, but if
fine weather sets in most of it will 130
saved. Other crops are uninjured.

POLITICAL.
Sir Oliver 1llowat accompanied by
Miss Mower, arrived in Toronto from
Ottawa. It is his intention to take a few
weeks' rest and he will probably take a
trip among the lakes.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has beet regal eeted•
by the Queen to give her a personal in-
terview before he starts for home. As
the Queen's request is a command, one
Premier will have pleasure in acceding to
it.
The latest and most probable candidate
for the position of fifth judge of the
Court of Appeal for Ontario is B. M.
Britton, Q. C., M. P., of Kingston. For
some time der. Beittou's name has been
mentioned.
Mr. Whitney addressed a meeting at
Madoo. The Conservatives of North
Hastings met there and nominated W. J.
Allan, only five delegates voting for Jae
Haggerty, M. P. P., the present repre-
sentative.
The Diamond Jubilee celebration has
resulted iu something like the discovery
of the colonies by Great Britain. p0rtiou-
larly in the case of Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
the Premier of Canada, who has been to
the insular Britons asurprising revelation
of capacity and dignity. At the same
time, Lady Laurier has been as great a
8000805 socially as her husband has been
politically. This has been a great year
for Canada.
Mr.Sifton, the Minister of the Interior,
and Mr. Paterson, the Controller of Ous-
toms, are at work with a view of making
arrangements necessary for the regula.
tion of the great .Tbron-Dinek gold dia.
teats and the collection of revenue.
What is to be done in the matter of secur-
ing for the Domiuiou its full share of the
wealth is a matter for grave considera-
tion, and the appointment of capable
men, oHdeials or otherwise, will have to
be carefully dealt with.
Extraordinary demonstrations of wel-
come w1i011 are being planned in Mont.
real and Toronto to honour Hon. N.
Clarke Wallace on his return in Anguet
from the Triennial Connell of Orangemen
at Glasgow will, it is said, he the active
commencement of the boom to mance the
Grand Sovereign the leader of the Con-
servative party in the Dominion.
Foster is the other candidate for the
enpremaoy. The "Cumberland war-
horse" is, figuratively speaking, to be
turned out to grass, Sir Charles Hibbert
Tupper is an impossibility, Mr. IIaggart
is net in the running, Mr. Chapleau
doesn't want it, and therefore it comes to
this, that the contest is between the
gentlemen mentioned.
The stock argument of the Ontario Op-
position in support of their claims to be
intrusted with the reins of Government,
is that "it is time for a change." Mean.
fug, as we are told, that the Mowat Gov-
erntneut was so long in power that it had
become effete and corrupt. Doubly
wrong, Tho Mowat Government is not
in power now, while the Hardy Govern -
men 113 only about a year old, and has aft
the vigor of youth, and the example of a
record of the Mowat Government for 24
years to live up to, and the start that has
been made, shows that fhe new Govern-
ment will equal, if not break, the record.
Instead of a "change" give Hardy
a chance ; and we have every faith that
the people of Outerio will d0 so. -

While Ilungo Jarck, engineer for the
Peeneylvmaia Telephone Company, and
Superintendent Lerch were mspeabing
their lines near Lititz, Pa., on Tuesday
their attention was called to the strange
antics of a big node of turkeys in a field
on a farm near that village. They saw
the turkeys in tunas fly at and peck an
object in the bushes, One big gobbler
went into the battle with beak, wings and
feet, and heat down and clawed, while the
other turkeys made a most unusual noise,
Finally two gobblers got to work, and
began beating and clawing and peeking
Then the other torkeys strutted with
lowered wings, and the battle was ended.
The two men then approached, and saw
that the turkeys had had a fight with a
foer.fo01 rattlesnake. The reptile was
nearly dead, and a few blows with a
heavy whip $niched it. The turkeys
were very proud of their victory. The
snake's body was badly lacerated with'
the peeking it received.
