Both parties have had an !opportunity of placing their case before the public, and let the pub- lic judge between them. In se Ler as Mr. Watson is concerned his constitu- ents have justified -and endorsed his course by. re-electing him, and passing unanimous- resolutions of justification and approval. These resolutions have been published. That „should be suf- ficient.

He was father of Mrs. Samuel Cartiochan, of Egmondville; His aged partner in life survives him, and the sympathy of all will be extended her, in this the greatest bereaverae-nt of her life.

Beer de Harris, was employed by Jasper Pridham, the elder, who is owner of lot No. 24, in the 9th coucession of Fuller- ton, and unluckily the engine occupied. a position on the windward side of the barn. A perfect gale was blowing, and evidently a. spark dr coal naust have been blown from the fire -box or smoke -stack and. -which ignited, as woeld appear, either outside the barn where a stack stood near the barn, or otherwise was blown -under the sill. When discovered the fire had taken such _hold ins* the sill, where the mow was full, that !no ef- fort could subdue the flames; thesemere- ly succeeded in getting out the thiesher and some twenty-five bushels of *heat. The barns, sheds and driving-houdie with all other out buildings and the entire Crop of the season fell a prey to the de- vouring element. The loss is estimated -at over 63,000, while the compiny in 1 which he was insured are not r mon.- sible as their risk does not tolerate steam threshing machines. Farmers would do well to note this fact, and t issad disaster which befel Mr. Pridham , hould be e, warning to others as well as! farm - hi 'body.

European Crops. The Austrian International Annual Grain Fair was held on the 26th of August. At this fair the leading grain factories and brokers meet to compare notes relative to the supplies to be de- :pended on from the several countries, so far as the conditions of crops are known at the time. The reports made 'at this annual meeting are regarded as of great importance and. as semiofficial. The sum-mary is what has been received on this side of the Atlantic, and it reads as foll.ows - The result of the harvest for Austria and Hungary must be called ver Y good indeed'. The harvest would. have rank- ed in the first class had it not been for the continued rainfalls during the reap- ing months which not only retarded the harvest for several weeks, but also spoiled the quality, as the corn could not be brought in from the fields for some time after it had. been cat. the wheat harvest in Hungary amount- ed to 2,000,000 hectoliters, and. Austria to 750,000.hectoliters over a good. aver- age, after 10.15 per cent. and in some parts 25 per cent.- have been deducted on account of the quantity blighted. The quantity of wheat and flour ready for export from the monarchy is valued at 12,000,000 or 13,000,000 cwt; that of rye, 2,150,000 cwt. (rye bad but a medi- um harvest); that of barley, 4;000,000 to 5,000,000 cwt ; and oats 2,500,000 to 3,- 000,000 cwt.
