The new C130tot118 tariff is now through the Committee of Ways and Means, and therefore we are able to present our read- ers with some of the changes that have been made. We give below some of its more important features. Seventyone artioles are free that were dutiable in the old tariff. Ten articles conditionally free in old are unoondition; ally free now. Among articles made free are the fol• lowing :—Bibles, prayer books, hymn books, psalm books, coke [of great Im• portant* in oheapening manufactures] ; fertilizers [oncompounded] ; smelting machinery ; lumber [dressed on one side or undressed] ; hubs for wheels, etc. ; Lathe, pickets, shingles ; salts of quinine : olive oil for making soap, oanning fish, etc. ; globes for schools, sugar of lead ; flax fibre ; marble in the rough ; hooka for Mechanics' Institute libraries. A number of raw materials also in ord- er to cheapen the cost of producing goods. The gain here is to the consumer. The Government became convinced that in the Northwest and Manitoba there was a combine in lumber, they there- fore put rough lumber on the free list, They were afterwards after d convinced that this would not completely break the combine ; lumber dressed on one side was therefore made free also. Sugar in old tariff up to and including No.14 was free ; new tariff makes up to and including No. 16, free. Thus most of the bright sugars are madefree. Duty on granulated sugar is reduced from 8.10th of a Dent to 64.100 per lb. The protection on grains, meats, etc., is left practically where it was. An offer is made of reciprocity in ripe apples, beans, buckwheat, peas, potatoes, rye, rye flour, bay and vegetables. The Act also Bays to the people of the U. States, "You take our barley free,and we will take your corn free." The duty on live hogs was at first made an ad valorem duty of 25 per oent. The farmers celled that it be returned to speci- fic, whioh was done. It is now 11. vents per lb. The duty an pork bas been rais- ed. Agricultural implements, mowero,.reap- ere, binders, and all sorbs of such imple- ments used by the farmer, have been re• duced from 35 per cont. to 20 per cent.

J. Milne, to one of Blyth's most estimable young ladies, Miss Ella, only daughter of D. B. McKinnon, The large edifice was prettily decorated and filled to the doors with en expectant throng, in whioh the sterner element was not by any mune lacking.

A peculiarly sad death 000urred during Wednesday night of last week, at Wood- stock, when James D. McLeod passed away, as a result, it is supposed, of a violent attack of hemorrhage of the lunge. For some Iwo years past Mr. McLeod has been in failing health, but his condition was notuneasy nth as to arouse e any mea y suspicions in the mind* of his wife and family. He bad evidently been attacked with a fit of coughing during the night, and in his restlessness fell out of bed, as the body was laying on the floor face downwards, with only the feet resting on the side of the bed under the coverlets. The deceased was 39 years of age, and a cooper by trade. He was born in Wood- stock, but bas also for some years re- sided in Seaforth, Strathroy, Ailsa Craig and Tilsonburg.

George Chesney has sold his farm, lot 81, Con. 1, in this township, to Mrs. Jas. Jamieson, who owns fifty acres a short distance away on the same line. The farm is a most excellent one, containing 100 acres, with brick house and bank barn and the price, 56,425, is one not often ob- tained for a farm in these days. Mr. Chesney has not yet decided what be will do, but we hope be will remain in the neighborhood, as he is too good a citizen to lose. We take the following from the Ari- zona Gazette, of 18th inst., which refers to the marrige of Miss Maggie Holmes, daughter of Wm.
