Holmes has already shipped from .fluoknow station over 4,000 barrels of apples to the old county markets this fall. John Elliott, of 'Wilton Grove, has just gathered 520 bushels of Long Red mangle and sugar beets, from one quarter aore of land. A, large number of 50.cent pieces and forged $2 Dominion bills, issue 1878, payable at Toronto, are in cir- culation at Chatham. The Canadian Niagara Falls Park Commlaeion met Thursday at the Falls, and finally settled upon the rear boundary line of the Park. While Mr. Meinze, of Perry, Ont., was chopping wood in a bush Friday morning, 11e felled a tree on his little girl, aged about 7 years, killing her instantly. The Dominion Government will shortly establish a life saving station at Pigeon Bay, Lake Erle, and it is rumoured will also discontinue the light on Point Pelee. A. deputation of brewers waited on the Government last week to urge the passage of an order•in council per. milting the sale of blue ribbon beer in Scott Act counties. The Montreal Lacrosse Olab play- ed 18 matches during the season, 17 of whioh were won and one lost. These comprised 87 games, of whioh 66 were won and 21 lost. An Ottawa telegram say : At the Ottawa Assize Oourt, Mr. McKenna sues F, B. MoNameo for $125,000 for breech of contract in connection with the Esquimault graving dock. Messrs. McMillan & Cameron, of London, gave notice of application to the Dominion Government for a charter for the Colonial Bank of Can- ada, with headquarters at Montreal. J. B. King, of Oakville, was fined $50 and $18.20 costs, for violation of the Scott Aot, at Oakville last week. This is the first case of contravention, convicted, outside the hotels in Oak- ville, A 'Yorkville gentleman is reported to be on the look•out for two of the biggest turkeys the country can pro- duce to send to England, one for Mr. Gladstone and the other for the Prince of Wales. • A large number of the volunteers of the 65th Battalion are accepting land grants in preference to scrip. They propose to settle, and have se- lected a location in the vicinity of Brandon. Bishop McLean, of the Saskatche- wan diocese, has collected on behalf of his mission enterprise $518 in To- ronto and $259 io Hamilton. The funds will be devoted chiefly in aid of Emmanuel College. The total sum received Sunday at St. Peter's Cathedral, London, by contributions at the door in the morn- ing and a silver collection in the ev- ening vening was $1,800, all of wench will be applied to the organ fund. the organ. Rev, Mr, Broley will repeat his lecture on "Enoch" nosh" before long. Several young men from `i oirnberry townobip have gone to the Michigan lumber woods. The Essex Centre Argus says :-J, W. Hsndrie, of Dutton, who formerly carried on a herberillg businese ill this town, attended the annual con- vention of the 13aptist denomination at Guelph two weeks ago, after which he purposed attending McMaster Hall, Toronto to prepare himself for the work of the ministry. While in Guelph he was examined by the fat- ulty of the college on points of script- ure and doctrine, which decided that it woald be a waste of time for him to attend college, as they wanted more men to work. So he is to go to Tees• water at a salary of $800 per year. On Wednesday night last an in• fermi machine, consisting of two dynamite cartridges, with a clock- work arrangem ent for exploding the same, enclosed in a small box, was placed on the doorstep of John Esson Reeve of the village of Bayfield. The apparatus was discovered by a milkboy, who notified Mr. Eason, and the arrangement was romovei just as the hammer was about to drop on the cartridge. Mr, Esson knows no reason for this dastardly attempt to injure him. Certain per. eons in the village have been heard to make threats of personal injury against Mr. Esson, but he had no idea that a political opponent, or anyone, would stoop to the perform- ance of an act of this kind. Co.na,dia.n N ores. SIR TWRIG itbrought some important facts before the electors of Lucknow, and thay are still worth the serious considera- tion of the peoplo in every part of the Dominion. He pointed out how much more rapidly our bur- dens were being increased than our ability to bear them. During the eighteen years of the union our population had increased scarcely 1,000,000 ; Mir annual expenses had increased $22,000,- 000, and the necessary taxation by $16,000,000, to which $8,000 may be added for incidental protection, The debt at Confederation was $92,000,000. It is now $800.000,- 000. The population has during the last eighteen years increased 80 per cent ; the debt has increas- ed 100 per cent. The expenditure has been increased 160 per cent., and the taxation 150 per cent. ssamoStanailosSEMISOStssaMMa "IT is understood at Ottawa that George Stephen, the president of the Canadian Paoific Railway Oompany,• will be knighted in consideration of the unprecedented rapidity with which the road has been constructed." Knigthood business is getting a little too common. Years ago people had to perform something really worthy of commendation be- fore special honors or distinction was conferred upon them, but now- adays knighthood and other such titles aro about as common as cheap jewelry, and are given more from a point of favoritism than any- thing else. What did the gentle- man, mentioned a above, honor ?do to deserve any sp pocketed?He got a good fat contract, thousands of dollars and conse- quently did nothing more than hundreds of men are doing to -day in pushing the work through to completion. Then Bir A. Caron conies in for distinction on account of his management of the North- west military operations, and so it goes until honors are becoming as cheap as dirt d are more l thanonesensibleman. by It is not often assessment appeals for increase of taxation are from the person interested. Ministers are al- lowed exemption from taxation on $1,000 income. Bev. Mr, Fuller, of Brantford, however, did not desire to take the benefit of the exemption and appealed to be placed on the assess- ment roll for $800 income. A grain elevator at the Great West- ern Railway depot at Norwich collaps- ed on Saturday morning, and is now a total wreak. About 15,000 bushels of grain were stored in the building, not Leif its capacity. The .founda- tion had become unsound. The loss will be heavy. Rose & Scott, of Til• sonburg, are the losers of the grain. The building was owned by Wm. Merrill, of Norwich. Talk about big stories of a big yield. Here is one that completely discounts and lays in the shade all that has yet been told or dreamed of. James Hammill, of Oustic, Ermines, plant• ed one pound of a new variety of p0• tato seed last spring. He cut each eye in the potatoes separately and planted one in each hill. An extens- ive plot for such a small amount of seed was therefore covered. The yield was enormous. From the one pound planted, Hammill dug up ex- actly 141 pounds. This was certain- ly a marvellous yield, and all potato growers are invited to beat it. toric, .S. O„ died at a hospital et letter place Wednesday, having1 ally sto,rved himself. He was insane, and ie believed escaped from some lunatic asylum. The Loudon Free Press says: - George Stlnsou, of Bathurst street, is said to have made thirty-seven floor barrels between 8 and 12 o'aloeli Friday, and he expreseee his willing• floss to make a ton hour match, to make flour or apple barrels, with any cooper in Oanade, for $75 or $100 a side. A epecial meeting of the finance committee of the Stratford Oouoail was held Thursday night to receive tendora for the new city 5 per cent, debentures. The issue was $29,000. Twenty tenders were received, only three of which wore under 100, the highest was 108, with several here. ly a fraction below. About 150 of the journeymen of John McPherson & Oo., wholesale boot and shoe manufaoturers, Haw• ilton, wont out on strike Monday morning. They objected to the om- ploylneut of two non-union men who cane from Montreal a few days ago and were given work• The non-un- ion men w08e given union pay, and were desirous of becoming members of the union. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the strikers all retnrnod to wont on Mr. McPherson discharging the non-union men. The other night an unknown mss •cut a window pane from the bed -room window of an old lady, 65 years of age, by the name of Ferris, who re- sides alone in Brantford Township, Mrs. Ferris was awakened by feeling the grasp of the man upon her arm. Beside the bed was a stand upon which lay a number of household articles. Mrs. Ferris quickly reach• ed to the stand. and seizing a spoon or some similar article, presented it and threatened to shoot the intruder if he did not make himself scarce. The frightened man made a bolt for the window, andjust as be was making hie hurried exit, Mrs. Ferris reach- ed beneath the bed clothing, and seizing a Retiree, which she used as a heating iron, hurled it at him, striking him fairly between the shoul- ders, and causing him to give utter - once to some very un•Sunday School expressions. Mrs. Ferris deserves great credit for her pluck and pros encu of mind. After so warm a re- ception it would be impossible to draw that burglar within a mile of her res- idence with a yoke of oxen. PEOPLE'S COLUMN. j In,ron County IN otos. The Parkhill Gazette is now in the bands of J. G. Green, formerly of the Gerrie Enterprise. Thos.

The 66 acre farm on the river road purchased by a company fox cemetery purposes at St, Marys was offered for sale by auction on Saturday last on the market square. It was knocked down to Jas. Clarke, the highest bidder, for $8,525. Galt Reporter : Owing to the de- lay in seeding this year, it was fear- ed many that the fall wheat would make but a poor show when the snow fell. These fears have not been re- alized, however, the fine open season having brought it on wonderfully, It could not look better than it doea. Robert Duffield, of Dorchester town- ship, exhibited at this office a maple of walnuts grown upon a tree whioh he raised from seed. While walking about the grounds of the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1875, Mr, D. pinked up a couple of walnuts from the ground and brought them home. He planted one the same fall and it is now five inches in diameter at the butt and about 16 feet high. The nuts shown were from this tree. Mr. Duffield's object ie not 8o muoh to show what care and attention can bring about, as to impress upon the farmers, now that walnut timber ie so scarce in Western Ontario, the desir- ability of fostering the planting of walnut trees, which form . the very best shade in summer, and provide for a constant demand for this kind of lumber, to say nothing of the local consumption of the nuts. The matter is well worth the attention of farm - egg industry, must have imposed an ere. 'London Free Press.
