—The colored people f Essex have

—The other day in Ottawa, a man

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

ceased was born near St. Andrew's,

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.'"

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.
