condition of the spring wheat crop
throughout the Province, though
somewhat inferior to that of the fall

a fair average yield. In the Western
Penineula, wheat is =posed to rust,

with the exeeptton of a few localities,

Tan revelations of the Pall Malt
(Jazette, of old London, does not
say very much for the morals of
some of the "high tones" of Old
England. Mrs. Booth, of the Sal-
vation Axmy, is pushing a scheme
to raise a fund to send the women
and girls who have fallen to Can-
ada and the 'United States. We
don't think a great deal of this
idea, however, as we receive enough
"scruff" from the old sod without
a wholesale emigration of the class
of individuals mentioned above.

LIST June the County Council
of Huron decided by vote to ask
for the appointment of a Police
Magistrate, in ease the wine and
beer amendment to the Scott Act
was not passed. The Warden,
who by the way is the redoubtable
Pat. Kelly, of Blytb, and the Clerk
were instructed to forward the me-
morial to the Lieutenant-aover-
nor, immediately after the ques-
tion was dealt with. Mr. Kelly
has neglected to do his duty so fax
and now has the assurance to send
a circular to each Reeve and Dep-
uty asking if the matter had not
better be deferred until the Decem-
ber session of Council. In the
circular he says
"I have grave doubts about my auth-
ority to forward the memorial to the
Government, under the resolution of
the Council. lt instructs me to a
'Mat the action of the House of Com-
mons upon the Senate's amendment
to tho Scott Act. Tho House has
prorogued without taking any action
ou the proproeed amendments, &c."
We feel sorry fax a man who is
so terribly conscientious after a
resolution as explicit as the follow-
ing :-
'That the Warden and Olerk await
the action of the House of Commons
en the Senates amendments to the
Scott Act, permitting the eel° of wine
and beer, before taking any action.
Should the Commons adopt the 5.•
mendmente to the Scott Act, permit-
ting the sale of ale, Wine and beer, the
"Warden and Clerk shall not forward
the memorial to the Lieutenant -Gov-
ernor, but should the Commons itta
ruse to adopt tante amendments,
then the Warden and Clerk mat,
forward the memorial to the Lieuten-
ant -Governor istsilunaerase thereafter."
The Commons refused to pass the
amendments and the Scott Act re-
InainS alit was and no one posses-
sed of common sense can read the
resolution and take any other
meaning out of it than that Mr.
Kelly's duty is to act straightfor.,
Ward in the matter and forward
the memorial. A man's private
opinions should never get the bet-
ter of his acting squarely in his
official capacity and we mistake
the character of the County Coun-
cillors if they do not sit down on
this piece of impertinence -

In an interview Sir Charles Tupper
said :-The Canadian exhibit at Ant-
werp wag un unqualified suceess. In
fact, the King of Belgium was so thor-
oughly pleased with it that lie has in-
timeted his intention of conferring( on

Thcjury representing tho national ex-
hibits havejuet completed their labors,

Fiance, Germany, Italy, Austria,
Belgium, Russia, Spain, Brazil, Hot.
laud and the United States. It was
the only one recommended for a di-
ploma of honor."
"This exhibit will form the basis of
the exhibit for the Colonial Exhibition
to be held in London next year and
will give Canada an opportunity to
show what she can do that may not
occur again in twenty years. This
is the first Royal Commission issued
for an exhibition since 1862. Others
have had a patronage of the Govern-
ment but not the Royal Commission.
The Prince of Wales is president, and
the entire exhibition specie has been

I have secured 5,400 square feet for

1st of October, 1886, I am extrerctoly
anxious that every effort be made to
place Canada in the position she
should occupy as the premier colony
of the Empire. It is important that
our varied resources should bo made
as attractive as possible. The object
of my visit to this country is to mina.
elate all parties interested to the
greatest exertion. I attach the great-
est possible importance to a sueocies-
ful representation at the exhibition
with proper exertion, Great promin-
mos will be given Canada as a field
for capital, and it will have the effect
of extending trade relations between
the mother country all ourselves.

Considering the meanitudo of the
Expontion'in which works of art
were renged in competition from all
parts of the world, Mies Airbh'e suc-
cess is highly oreditable, not alone to
herself, but to Canadian art as web.
The Detroit Free Press says: -
"The latest fish story hereabout:, is
that a party of anglers from this city
were flailing a few days ago off Bois

ber caught a black base whose hide

the phenomeaca by stating that a

The St. Catharines News says :-
In England tbo telephone is soriotiely
interfering with the telegraph. In
1881 the not revenue from. the tele-
graph -which is controlled by the
Government -was $1,625,000, but
lanyear there was a deficit of $180,-
000. This feet should be a warning
to existing telegraph companies not
to bo too independent with tho
nor continuo is the belief that the
telegraph is an indisponsible neeeesity.
The telephone lute, withiu a few years,
made great headway and it is more
than probable that telephoniug at
long di:Aeneas will, in the near fut-
ure, be as easy of accomplishment as
short lines of conavaunication. It
would be prudent, however, ou the
part of the public, to t$00 that the
