There is an old red leather diary which was found in Booth's pocket, and which has been preserved. There are but two entries In it. They are made 'with pencil, and are rapidly becoming itdistinct. The first entry in the diary is dated Friday, April 14. - Under this date Booth says : "Until today nothing was ever thought of sacrificing to our country's wrongs. For six months we have worked to capture. Our cause being afsnoat lost, something decisive must be done. * * * I struck boldly, and not ,as thepapers say. 1 walked with a firm step through &thousand of his friends—was stopped, but pushed on.

Intelligencer, in . -which I freely set forth our reasons for our proceedings. He or the So-uth." The second entry in the trary, under date ofs April 21, . says: "Ater being Minted like a dog through sw -nips and woods, and being chased by 4rnvoys, was forced to retura, wet, old and starving, every man's hand against kee. 1 am here in despair-.

One of the most important matters dealt with by the Legislature was the question ofthe !`Herd Law," an urgent demand for which came from the south of the Province, where there exists large tracts of rich prairie land, very in- sufficiently provided with timber for fencing. Under the. common law of England, a settler had already the right to sue for damages the owner of stock which trespassed upon his lauds and injured his unfenced crops • still, the expense of the procedure, an'd the uncertainty, often. impossibility, of proving ownership, was found practi- cally to leave the asriculturist without protection. Capt. '119. H. ,Nash, the menabei for Etherson, accogdingly in- troduced a bill, based upon a statute which is the law of Minnesota, permit- ting the settler whose crops are injured by the trespass of cattle to seize and impound such stock, a cheap and sum- mary process being provided by which they can be sold if the damages assessed by the appraisers to be sworn in for the puipose by any magistrate, warden, or councillor, be not promptly liquidated. Some opposition was manifested to the passage of this apparently very neces- sary law by the representatives of the older settled districts and by the half - 'breed population, all of whom are less agriculturists than stock raisers, and who are more or less provided with wood for such little fencing as they re- . , that ev was uwl itohi y • be future stricts with pro- "blos- assed bitual y an ensed e ne- per- de be- e act arik- th niited er of ouncl seen. Mr. rried a ro- e of ✓ of Sion t of ske quire. It being shown, however the adoption of the proposed la made optional with the several m panties, it was permitted to carry out a division. This result ne deemed highly important to the of the Province, as Many di hitherto left totally uncultivated now that farmers who dispense fencing have secured the required tection, very shortly be made $o som like the rose." An experimental act was also o provide means for preventing ha runkards from obtaining liquor, ib nterdict to be served upon all lie ostlers by a proper official after th essary proof of the habits of the on to be interdicted has been ma ore the proper authorities.

Senator Girard, as Pro- tom vincial Secretary, and the Hon. Maxims) ken Goulat, as Minister of Agriculture,- a, beon step that should be deemed satisfactory rant in a Gauntry having a considerable pop- esPe illation of both luen nationalities. In glancing over the list of forty fert it be measures passed during the first session of the fourth Parliament of the Pro- respe vin ces we observe a fair proportion of clrain acts of general public importance. A Paul law has been passed dividing the Pro- strue vince into twenty-six municipalities for way, the more efficient management of local up to affairs and the making of public im- provements-, which last can be better determined by authorities having full .eognizauce of the needs of the localities in which they reside. Then there is an act to provide for a system of drainage for the Province, mader which, it is fully expected; that much valuable land at present unavailable will be re- claimed for settlement and cultivation. There is also an- act empowering cor- poratione and other institutionsince]: porated without the Proving° of Mani tuba, to lend an d invest monev there' inking would not prevail, and clai at in a sense it might be regarded - from ernperauce measure. The "strai t" tempera.,nce men, however, vie th entirely- oppesite feelings, asser at spirits will inevitably be sold r the- cover of such a license, at, in a prohibition senise, • the w is decidedly retrogressive. A h e agitation is consequently threa with a view to its repeal. One- of the most important acts Session, was that to authorize hdra.wal of $100,000 from the° s v lying to the capital account of vino° in the hands of the Domin horities, ainounting to about $4 . The delegation of the Provinc vernment, which visited Otte, spring, was unable to induce Minion Government to Consent h withdrawal, as the Ministers b ived no authority from the Legis to make such application.

The money value of • all this rough meat we ca not estimate, 1 yet wae consider that it aid Lig well for all our trouble and expe se of killing, g, and curing. We should add that we retained a four gallonjar of lard for our osVn use. _ , Now let us Bee how the transaction stands. We were offered 24 cents a, pound, or $46, for four yearling pigs, weighing 1,840 pounds on foot. We sold eight hams at 10 cents, eight shoul- ders at 7 cents, lard at 9 cents, amount- ing to $63.50. We kept 32 pounds of lard worth $2.88, and a barrel of pickle pork. sold for $16. We thus received in money $72.38 for the products of four pigs, or P6.38 more than the -butchers would pay for them. • If the sausage, - tenderloins, spare ribs, do., were worth $8, and we think they were, we made $34.38 by killing' and curing. Now, if we had a market for the sausage meat, it seems to us the farmer who has but a few well fatted hogs, can do better to cure them than to sell them on foot. . What to do with the rough meat is the trouble, since in the country there is no market for it at the time when all farmers and village folks have pigs of their oivn to pack. Where one has not more than a dozen pigs to sell, they Can be killed at two or three different times. Let the first be killed early in the season, say the last of November. In five weeks this lot of meat will be ready for the smoke -house, and then the second lot may be killed. Thus the _family may have a variety of meat 'furnished through the winter, and in such. small lots as that it can be used befornil becomes a drug or depreciates.. fairmers will hang up spare ribs, back bones, and so, each piece by itself, so as not to touch one another, in some cool place, they will find that the meat will keep sweet until used, unless the weath• er is singularly unfavorable. A little care in curing hams and breakfast bacon pays well. Country hams and bacon do not usually bring as much as fancy city brands. The city ,packer has spent money, thought and labor in his effort to put on the market the best. The average farmer is un- willing to take the care requisite to se- cure the best results, and if he has to sell his produce at a less price, the fault is in part, his own, and in part because his consumers buy their hams and bacon, as they do their flour, more because it bears a fancy brand than because it is really as superior article. The remedy for this is not to be gain- ed at once, but it can surely be done. Let the farmer select his stock with care, and feed so as to produce a first- class healthy pig, and hill only strictly prime animals, and' learn how to cut and cure the meat so as to produce a first-class sugar -cured ham, and it is med 1 absurd to sa,y_such meat is not superior as to the average which can be made ght- the class of pigs sent to the stock yards. 1 w it The farmer who will intelligently push b tine this matter can soon have a city trade I un- lin a, fancy article, to fancy customers, and I at fancy prices. Ile must first produce new i such an article, and then introduce it os- 1 among the class who know the differ- ten- ence between a strictly good article and that which has only a fanpy brand to cover up its many -defects. There is now among many lavers of good -ham or breakfast bacon a strong prejudice against pork in general, because of the multitude of disgusting beasts and sick- ly things sent to the ' stock yards, and -thence find their way to packing houses. While scientific men May prove- that. cholera pork, when . well cured and cooked, is as wholesome and palatable food as that made from the healthiest pigs, still the imagination of the con- .surner.is set agadnstit, and he will not buy it nor eat it unless he is so straiten- ed by necessity or poverty that he can- not humor his taste. Now this is an element in the matter of securing a trade for the naeat neatly. aud: hand- somely cured on the farm which is en- tirely in the farmer's favor. The prin- ciple is the Saone which makes pure country milk, all fragrant with clover blossoms, shady groves and sparkling brooks more salable than that from city stables, suggestive of still slops, filth and offensive odors. of the um the ion 00, - jai wa the to ad la- ey est pl- an on m- er. at- a- ot r - re t - ns If he t. 0 • a measure which. removes a.- technical obstacle that operatedto prevent capi- tal being introdueed front abroad.

At the 'close of the expiring session of the previous Par- liament, a in -ember proposed a reduc- tion of the annualindemnity' of the Manitoba 'M. *from $300 per ses- sion to $100, whereupon a member op- posite moved •in . amendment that the indemnity Should be. .abolished alto- gether. No opposition being offered, this sweeping amendment was carried amid au exhibitionof qUestionable.en- thusiasna that led many an observer to :wonder whether it could be -possible that the sitting Members generally had abandoned all trust in the fidelity of their constituents. One • of the first • •••-nieastires, hoWever, Ian (laced. 'during - the first ,session of the new House, jaist concluded, was proposed. by the Premier, re-establishing the indemnity to inetnbersa and increasing it to $400 per session:. This welcome preposition was adopted non con., even by the mem- ber who had formerly proposed the. re- dtiction of th,e indemnity to $100. The 'member whose suggestion for total &bo- n' guarantee should have been insisted o be expended with more care and dis cretion: But of the same fund (capita account) the sum of $20,000 has bee 'appropriated in aid of the new-hor municipalities. - The private bills passed, and also th ' various acts aniendatory of existin 'statutes, do not demand extended no tice.
