They were as £ollowe ;- 1889.90 8,809 1890.01 8,648 1891-92 ...., 8,464 A reduction of 145 in the last year over that of 18611.00.

The fines collected during the post year for violation of the license not amounted to 923,316,30 as compared with $22,570,07 in 1800.91. The report coutaine a statement of the number of licenses issued under the heads of tavern, shop, wholesale and vessel, from the year 1874 until the present time, exclusive of those issued for short terms. In 1874 thein were, is- sued 4,793 tavern, 1,307 shop, 52 whole- sale and 38 vessel licenses ; while for 1891.2 there were issued 2,990 tavern, 193 shop, 21 wholesale and no vessel licenses, these having been abolished in 1889. In Toronto in 1874 there were 530 licensee. In 1880, the year of the passage of the Fleming by-law, the number fell to 300, or 224 less, although the popula- tion had increased threefold. Last year the number, including wholesale licenses, was 211. In Hamilton, in the some period, the licenses were reduced from 223 to 131 ; in London from 118 to 52 ; in Kingston from 123 to 55. In Ottawa there were 203 in 1674, 200 iu 3875, and only 147 loot year. In 1875 there were 8,80S commitments for drunkenness in the Province and in 1892 2,730, or 1,132 less. The commit- ments for this offence in 1892 were the lowest in number in the history of the Paovince. In 1889 the number was 4,- 797, in 1890 4,573 and in 1891 8,014. The oities of the Provisos show a Targe reduction of commitments from year to year. The following is the record of the leading cibies :— . 1890. 1891. 1802.

Finland has just been celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anuiversory of printing in that country. Gen.

The Arkansas State Lsgisloture has passed a bill conferring on the women of Arkansas the right of suffrage and me/f- ine them eligible to membership on school boards. The U. S.

If he does not like her he leaves her and lives elsewhere until she deports his home. The receipts of the Monte Carlo Casino during the year which ended last week, were nearly $5,000,000, or larger titan in any other year in its existence and per- mitted of the largest dividend yet de- clared. It is said the principal feature of the year's gambling, and it might be added the worst, was the increase of the number of petty players; and a feature sot to the credit of this country was that the number of American gamblers- in• creased considerably. Owing to the general failure of the po- tato crop of 1892 in the United States, that country is now importing large quan. tities of this vegetable from all parts of Europe. We note almost daily imports from Loudon, Bristol, Liverpool, Wake gow or Leitb,in the United Kingdom ; sad from Bremen, Havre, Antwerp, Hamburg or Rotterdam on the continent. The heavy duty of 25o. per bushel impos. ed by the McKinley tariff on this article of prime daily necessity forme a heavy tax upon the industrial classes in the United States. In a report to the Board of Control of the World's Fair last weep, Director. General Davis said that 1,827 carloads of exhibits had been received at the Park. The large proportion of these are for the foreign sections. American exhibits are just beginning to arrive in large quanti• ties. Col. Davis reported that the in• stallatiou of the exhibits wan delayed by the leaking roofs, but added that the roofs are now believed to be tight. With favorable weather during the present month he believes that the installation in all the departments, except possibly the department of ethnology, will be practi- cally ready for the opening on May let. Bonded warehouse, No. 308, ab the distillery of the Allon•Bradley Distillery Co., in East Louisville, together with 12,- 000 barrels of whiskey, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday evening of last week. At 5:45 o'clock, while four mot were placing a barrel of whiskey in one of the biers of the wnrebouse the bend of the barrel broke, and the °entente mu along the floor to a lighted lantern and took fire. In an instant the warehouse was in a blaze, and the men were foroed to flee for their lives, Three alarms were turn- ed in, and when the fireman arrived the big brick warehouse was a roaring furnace. Barrel after barrel of whiskey would explode, sending flames seventy five feet up in the air. The names from the burning whiskey were so strong that the firemen coald hardly got close enough with the hose to throw streams on the fire. The whiskey was valued at about $600,000, and was owned by over 200 different persons, and is thought to hove been all covered by insuronoe. The Warehouse was valued at $80;000 ; fully lettered.

The 1lobier Produce Company, of Ex. eter, have handled since January twenty- five loos of butter, and ore now handling 14,000 dozen eggs per week, A romance of nationally unfortunate and pathetic detail was discovered at Ilotnestead, Po„ on Thursday of last week, when two detectives from 'Toronto, Canada, discovered in Mr, and Mrs, ,Asa Barr the relationship of brother and sister and the heirs to a fortune left by a relative of Mrs. Barr's dsoeased mother by adoption. Twenty-five years ago two waifs, brother and sister, were abandoned by German immigrants at Castle Garden. They were legally adopted, ono by it man named Asa Barr, the other by a Mrs. Evans. The latter moved soon afterward to Philadelphia, where she brought up her adopted daughter, giving her a good eduontiou. Twenty years later the boy, grown to manhood, moved also to Phila- delphia, where he followed the trade of a painter. Chance drew the brother and sister together. Barr was captivated with the girl, and wooed, won and mar- ried her. During the lots strike they moved to Homestead, where Barr found employment. The adopted daughter of Mrs. Evans recently became heiress to considerable property in Canada. De• tsotivss ware sent to trace the heiress, and in their investigation disoovered the true relationship of Mr. and Mrs. Burr to be that of brother and sister. The terrible knowledge prostrated Mrs. Boor, and her husband is grief-stricken, No issue his resulted from their marriage. Legal proceedings will be instituted to sever the marriage bond, and the couple will leave for Loudon, Canada, to claitn the fortune, Reduced. :.Prises —FOR -- Ayer's fair\Vague Makes the hair soft and glosey, "I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for nearly five yours, and my hair is moist, glossy, and in an excellent state of pees• creation. 1 ant forty years old, and have ridden the pleios for twenty five years," ---\Vm. limt'v Ott, relies"Afustnng hill," Newcastle, \1'yo, Ayer's liairVigor I'reveutt hair from falling out, "A number of years age, by tecom- mendatiau of a friend, 1 beg:ut to use Ayer's lidlr Vigor to stop tine hair front fatting out and prevent its turning gray.

'apreJ taea n&osiug iy cn- C CD C/7 It has no equal for pulverizing hard slay lumps. 1182 Ib is beyond question the bees machine for making a seed bad or inverted sod. For preparing fall plowing for spring seeding, especially in heavy olay soil, when the land is baked or become hard and difficult to move. For cutting up and pulverizing any kind of stubble land, either for the purpose of starting foul seeds or fitting for seeding, It is unquestionably for superior to anything iu the market for cultivating any kind of land that is vary difficult to subdue. Where every other tool has failed the Spada Harrow will be found to be just the machine needed. As will be seen by the sub, it is constructed: with two revolving sylindete, emu - posed of 50 spades, 6 inches wide and 8 inches long, set 2 inohee apart, and when in motion turn the ground up as completely as can be done by hand. The machine has 108 sharp cutting edges, and in working the ground it does not drag or trail, but turns the soil up and lets it drop loose behind the machine, leaving the subsoil on top and level surface, It works in any kind of land ; and in mucky, clammy Soil, where the Disc and Spring Tooth Hermes clog up and become unitise, the Spada Harrows dose first-class work, ALSO AGENT t FOB THE o. !
