They had been drinking canal water until it palled upon them and their appetite craved beer. An obliging foreman, pained to see his hands harrassed with a great thirst, ordered a keg of beer from a neighboring ealoot-keeper, and in return generously put the saleon.keeper's name oa the pay -sheet for one day's pay. This accounts for the report which was cir- eulated some time ago that there was a beer allowance on Government work in Canada.- Toronto News. Tut: report of the Vancouver board of trade kr 1889 gives some statistics show. ing the woudeiful growth of that city during the Peet tin years. In l 8811 the population of Vauccucer was :about 1100. In January last it was estimated at 11,- •8,0. The assessed value of property in- creased from 83,4 1,245 in 1888 to $6,- Ii0.1,faQ in 1882 ; the city has now thirty- eight miles of graded streets and forty- six miles of sidewalks, twelve churches, a well.equippetl Are ,department, electric lights and two splendid parks. Vancou- ver seems destined to bacop}e trig great eippiug port aril ilietrikiltin,s CcotoQ Of the Pacific province. Tim -Government Printing Office Bureau at Ottawa established by the Dominion Government, appears to be a vete Qlfllcuit affair to handle, and will certainly be nothing but a bill of ex. pense to the country. Even the Govern- ment organs are not blind to the in- iquities of such a system and the Mont- real Gazette urges that the demand of the Government printers to be placed upon the list of public employees en- titled to superannuation should be stern. ly refused, and that the aspiration of the bureau printers for higher wages than thoee paid in abet' printing offices should be nipped in the bud. "If the printing bureau til enei1t°' a refuge for in. competent workmen who may have ren- dered some party political service" says the Gazette, "or of it falls under the domination of political thugs, its useful- ness is at an end. The Experiment of establishing the bureau was hazardous enough, and speedy and complete failure can only be avoided by managing the office strictly upon business prin. elides." Tns change in the tone of the German official press toward England is very re. markable. Prince Bismarck's "reptiles" have bean completely charmed by some means, and Germany seems inclined to really curb the aggressive spirit of her colonizers, which was directed largely against Great Britain. All the English papers remark upon the extraordinarily pleasant and kindly manners of the Emperor. His air of filial deference to the Queen, his kindly banter with his cousins, the princes and princessess of Wales, and his display of his appreci- ation of kindly attentions from the people are commented upon as so differ. ent from what English people generally expected. England and Germany should be friends, but after all Great Britain's future is bound up with that of the United States and Canada, Australia and South Afrioa, and not with that of any of the continental powers of Europe. If Prince Albert Victor fell in love with a good American girl and were allowed to marry her it would be the best alliance possible so far as alliance of nations can be concerned in alliances of their rule re.

Mark Lindsay, a young man who re. sides with his parents on their farm, about seven miles west of St, Marys, met with a painful accident on Wednes- day afternoon as he was driving a load of grain into the barn.

Samuel Kerslake, of the tenth line, Hibbert, met with a serious misfortune lately in losing cue of his eyes. While busy with the hay Mr. Kerslake rubbed some of the sweat off his hands into his eyoe, and it is supposed that the poison of smart weed or fire weed bad been rubbed iu at bbe same time. His eye wee examined by a special oculist and found to be damaged beyond repair. The damaged organ was at onto removed and an artificial ono inserted' in its place. The horse and buggy stolen from Jas. teen, a Nissouri farmer, on Sunday night last, have since been recovered. As some gentlemen from that locality were driving to London before daybreak on Monday they overtook two men in ,a buggy beading in the same riireotlon ao themselves, who seemed to be very anxious to keep out of their reach +and urged their steeu to the utmost. Failing in this they tired upon those behind, which seemed to have little effect, and at last, when nearing a deep wood, they de. camped, leaving horse and buggy behind. Upon examination, the property was found to belong to Mr. MT.", The St. Mary's Argus Bays:—Owing to the manner in which the fixing of our Civic Holiday was conducted this season Gonne. H. A. L. White and Jas Clyde have placed their resignations in the hands of the Mayor. The council fixed the 20th. A petition was passed round and signed by many of the business men asking the mayor to fix the 20th as the day. The unnecessarily harsh wording of the petition gave offence to the eounoil and at a special meeting they reaffirmed their first deoision. A majority of the merchants declared they would not close on the 20th, and the two councillors sent in their resignation. The 20th however, was finally fixed ata public meeting held on Thursday evening last.
