Torrance' farm, a few weeks ago, was prema- ture. C. Walper, the purchaser, had made a sale of his property in Stephen, but on some technicality, the deal fell through. Mr. Wolper is anxious to get the Torrance farm and if he can dispose of his own property, the deal with Mr. Tor- rance will be promptly closed. An agitation is being commenced. for doing away with or greatly cur- tailing funeral services at the grave during inclement 'Weather. Sev- eral years age some olergsmon made a practice of requesting those at the grave -side to keep on their hats, and this is a general rule. It is a common sense one, Many a cold resulting in death has been contracted by standing uncovered at the grave while the service was being read. Due respect for the dead does not demand sueh a sac rifice for AP 13viui . • H. S. Faust of Cairo Mich.., is visiting friends here, this week, D.

Senator Almon of Halifax died at 12 o'clock midnight. The cause f death was old age, hastened by an accident sustained three weeks ago.

Wag- ner to Miss Annie Brenner which event took place about two weeks ago. We are unable to give full particulars of the happy event, we understand, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner are spending their honeymoon at Guelph and other Eastern points. The HERALD extends congratula- tions and wishes the young couple happiness and prosperity through life, A letter recently received from Mexico gives the following account of the manner in which the death of the late Queen was received at Mexico City :—''The flags on all the Legations and on the Executive, the municipal buildings, and also on all the clubs were placed at half- mast. The American Club draped all the windows in black, and the Bag remained at half-mast contin- uously since the account of the death. At the time of the death of the French President the board refused to put the flag at half-mast even on the day of the funeral. The press of every shade has been most eulogistic." Hon Dr. Macdonald, the able representative for East Huron, who is well known in the vicinity of Clinton, is the possessor of a bear- tiful fur eap and fur -lined coat, which virtually cost him only his experience and labor. While at- tending a session of the house in Ottawa, he was called in to attend a lady friend who was seriously. ill. Under his care she was restored to health, and when. 'she asked the doctor what the charges wore, he said. "Oh, that's all right; I'll not charge you anything"- ..- and the doctor positively refttsed to accept any remuneration. She showed her gratitude and appreciation of his services by presenting him with the articles named. They are worth about $200, so that the doc- tor considers himself amply repaid for his services, • Bachelors' Ball, The ball under the auspices of the bachelors of Hensall was held at Miller's hall, Monday evening, The London Harpers furnished the music.

We are sorry to have this week to chronicle the death of Mrs. Robt Walker, who has for years resided on the Bronson line, a mile and a quarter north of Blake. She leaves two sons and four daughters to mourn her loss, of -which just one lives in this country, Mrs. Edward Boyce, with whom she was staying at the time of her death. -• 410. .— Canada and the Yukon Trade. It being realized that Canadian houses have not, in the past, secur- ed a fair share of the Yukon trade, arrangements are being made by eastern and western firms to get a large share of it the present season. It is estimated that in the next three months $10,000,000 worth of goods will have to be started for the Klondike, Nome City and other Alaskan points, and Canadians feel .that with proper freight facilities taere should be no difficulty in in- creasing their sales for those im- portantnorthern fields. Advance in the price of Hogs. There has been another advance in the price of hogs at Toronto, and it is expected that its -will stimulate the deliveries of that important staple now so keenly in demand by shippers of the product to Great Britain. The stocks of product in Canada are limited and packers are more inclining to the view that the hog crop will be much smaller than was anticipated at the opening of the season, and are holding meats very strongly. It is impossible to secure concessions even on large orders, and packers are indifferent sellers except at full prices. J. Snell, banker of Dashwood, could not get through the snow on Thursday. Lon—Between Zurich and the Parr line on Zurich road, a robe, imitation buffalo; (Saskatchewan.) Finder will please return same to R. Lorimer, stage driver. Zurich.

It is pointed out in their letter to the Premier that the late Hart A. Massey was a farmer in early life, and that he always kept in close touch with the farming community, There is, therefore, something peculiarly appropriate in this gift, the intention of which is to improve the facilities for the education of Ontario farmers, and thus eventually to better the con- ditions of agriculture in the Province. The hope is expressed that if this gift is accepted the Government will erect a suitable museum and laboratories. The college and farm have done ad- mirable work for the leading industry of the Province, and it is to be hoped. that the field of its usefulness will be enlarged by the proposed additions and improve- ments. The trustees have shown both public spirit and good judg- ment in making this offer, MARKETS Revised every Thursday afternoon.
