Pollard, of Ottawa, was robbed of about $300 Worth of jewelry. —A man named Binckley, from Flamboro, was fined in Hamilton the ether evening for not having sleigh bells. —A. man named Danforor Swack- hammer, residing near Acton was in- stantly killed on Monday while raising a log barn on his farm, by a log falling on Idahead. He leaves ttewife and three children. —There are said to be over a hundred applications for the office of shipping master at Halifax, rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Cummins. The apt ppintment is in the hands of the Do- minion Government. —Miss Rosina Heikel, the first lady doctor in Finland, has been given an encouraging start in her profession. The women of Wa.sta where she settled for practice, gave a grand concert in her honor and are making preparations for a public dinner. —A petition is in circulation at Mon- treal to the Hon. the Minister of Marine said Fisheries for the better enforcement of the laws for the protection of black. bass, dare and maskinonge, the supply of which in the Ottawa and St. Law- rence is decreasing at a rapid rate. —Last Monday Dr. Schultz M. P., and Hon. Dr. Bowen presented an ad- dress to his Excellency the Governor- General, on behalf Of their Manitoba constituents. The address was accom- panied by. a basket of buffalo tongued and tit -bits. --Manitoba bon -bons. —A new industry is being started in London East. A number of capitalists are about to establish a grist mill, and. .in connection therewith to go into the business of fattening pattle for the Eng- lish market. Several•kcar loads of grain have already arrived from Toledo for this purpose. —John Hunter, a. respectable farmer residing about five miles from Campbell - ford, was found dead in his sleigh Mon- day afternoon about a mile from his home. He was in Campbellford during the afternoon and appeared in his usual health. The cause of death is not yet known. —The colored people f Essex have been holding a convention'and havepro- tested against their exclusion from the magistracy, the jury, the militia and the public schools. They resolved to vote for no municipal candidate who was not favorable to colored men being chosen on juries. —The other day in Ottawa, a man driving a wagon on the street, discover- ed that one of the wheels had become disarranged. The man was unable to place it on again, and a couple of gen- tlemen happening to come along, he ask- ed them to give him a hand.. They re- sponded, and when the wheel was right the driver returned thanks. One of the gentlemen observed, " And so you ought to, seeing that you had the Governor- General to help you." The other was the Marquis of Lorne; and the man who was under obligations stared at His Excellency unable to say anything, .as the two moved off, enjoying the little episode. —Captain G. J. Melville, the well- known author of " Katerfelto,'" Sarch- edon," " Satanella;" and a dozen other novels, died in England a few days ago from the results of an accident in the hunting field, having fallen from his horse and broken his neck. The de- ceased was born near St. Andrew's, Fifeshire, in 1829, and entered. the army in 1839 with a captain's commission in the Coldstream Guards. He sold out in 18.19, but upon the outbreak of the Crimean war he joined the cavalry of the Turkish contingent, again retiring upon the close of the war, in 1856. —Elihn. Burritt, the greatest living linguist, has presented. to the library of the Burritt School, in New Britain, Conn., all the books in various languages which he has collected and used at home and in foreign-cotw.tries for the last twenty years. The collec- tion also includes in manuscript ready for the press his Arabic, Turkish, Per- sian, Hindustani and Hebrew handbooks -containing similar lessons and forms of instruction to those in his '" Sanscrit Handbook for the Fireside," recently published in England and this country. Mr. Burritt has also added a copy of every work published by him in Eng- land. and. America. —There are rumors in Buffalo that the old Fenian organizations, which were formerly very strong in, Buffalo and Rochester, are about to be put again in active operation. Leading men of the Society do not hesitate to say that strong hopes of freeing Ireland by force are entertained, in view of a prospective collision between England. and Russia, which they believe to be inevitable. They claim to have established. a strong al- liance with secret societies bearing other names in Canada, and. expect, in the event of a war' to raise the flag of annexation in Canada, in the hope that thee/majority of the people will rally round it. It is also said that all the arms seized by the American Govern- ment in 1866 were quietly resold. to Fenian agents, in whose possession they now are. They are thoroughly in ear- nest in asserting the alleged strength of their allies in, Canada, and quite sincere in the delusion that Canada is ripe for annexation. —Mr. Ballard, rector of Trinity. Church, St. Thomas, at the close of his sermon last Sabbath, after referring to the death of the Princess Alice, made allusion to the unrivalled. virtues of our. noble Queen, in the following well ahosen words: " Not only have we a Queen who is a model mother to the women of this great nation, but that Queen -mother has reared. daughters who are model daughters to the daugh- ters of the world. Many courts has England witnessed, and many, courts have led the fashions and. made their impress on the world.; but as pure • and real an influence for good has never pro- ceeded from any court as from that of our gracious Queen. It teaches lessons on one subject at least which the world needs light upon, namely wherein true womanhood consists. We /earn from it that a true woman must be adorned. wi.th gold of intellect as well as outward tinsel—must be sincere in heart while apparently anxious to please—must de- rive her truest beauty and grace from a Weil-baa,nced, character rather than from the fortuitous features of thel face —must be a, large receptacle forsym- pathies instead of a masculine leader of the people. Then she can mingle amid different phases of social life and en- joyments, and carry with her • every- where a pure simplicity and transparent modesty. Let us, therefore,' be grateful while we mourn, and as we mourn re- member that for sovereign and subject there is in .this world a common longing, namely, for Rest, and a common rest- ing place, namely the Rock of Ages.'"

THE GOLDEN LION, SEAFORTH. P">•4" tziLtttit 0000ip - TO FARMERS. " HEREAS, certain parties have been endeav- oring to injure the sale of the Arnaukta Wheat, for which I have been taking orders, I think it only right in self-defence, and also in justice to the persons who have favored me with their orders, to make public my reply to theab misrepresentations. It has been stat :a that the Arnaukta Wheat is merely the lold Rice Wheat, (or wild goose wheat, as it is sometimes called), pat on the seed market under a new name for a money -making speculation. Another misrepre- sentation is that the Arnankts Wheat will not make flour,and as a consequence will not make good bread. Another is that it is weak in the straw. In reply, I would just call attention to the subjoined letters, one from Mr, Brown Professor of Agriculture at the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph, and one from John Dry- den, Esq., ex -Warden of the County of Ontario. Many others could be given, but I would think thesenamessufficient authority,—but any not satisfied with these might -write to I. Davidson & bons, Pickering, H. H. Spencer, Whitby, Gibbs Brothers, Osluteva, the largest -millers in Ontario, mot many others whose addresses I will be happy to aye if applied to. Reference is also direct- ed to the following letters: Ontario School of Agriculture, Guelph, Sept. 5, 1378 j DEAR SIR: With reference to the Amanita and Goose 'Wheats, I beg to inform yoU that we have grown both here in our experimental plots, (samples of - which I send for your inspection) they were or ginated in the United States, and the Arnankta now takes a -very im- portant place in many parts of that country sa an excellent cropper and. miller. ' There is great resemblance both in beard and grain, but the A_rnankta is bolder, heavier bearded, and more chaffy than what is called the Goose or Rice Wheat, and also bears stronger straw.. The Goose is larger in the individual berry, but equally plenty in character. I have had no experience as yet in its milling properties, though I trust to be able to say something in our next annual report, meantimeSbe assured that the varieties are distinct enough. Yours faithfully, Wels BROWN. With regard to the milling qualities refer- ence is permitted to A. 131eir, or Bell's Mills, Kippen ; John Kitchen and John Gibson, Stan- ley. I am selling this wheat at the low price of $1 50 per bushel, delivered at Clinton station. Par- ties desiring to purchase this wheat, but re- quiring further reterences, can gain all informa- tion by addressing D. M. RADCLIFFE. 576x2 Brueefield P. 0. 1\TOTIO THE Nomination 6!
