Rochester, New York, says : Special
reports from over 5,000 crop correspon-
dents state that in general winter wheat
has Rot had a set back, and the crop has
fairly commenced to grow. The season
is a little more forward than 1885. Some
spring wheat is sown in Nebraska and

Sr. PATRICK'S DAY Aneoss -TILE ATi
IANTIG.-Numerous meetings in honor of
St Patrick's Day were held throughoutp
• Great Britain and Ireland. The gather
ings were mostly. quiet. Mr. O'Connor
speaking at Liverpool, said the positioil
of the English parties were such as to
excite surprise and disgust. The Par-
nrellites had been abundantly justified in
hoping that the Conservatives would be
willing to grant Home Rule. Lord Ran-
dolph Churchill's speech at Belfast was
evidence that the integrity of the -Em-
pire was more endangered by lack of in-
tegrity ad honor among the Conserva-
tive statesmen than by the,:-.dmaginary
designs of the Irish. O'Connor express-
• ed confidence in Mr. Gladstone, and said
he hoped Mr. Chamberlain would not
resign from the Ministry. Mr. O'Brien
presided, Over a meeting in Bradford.
He made'a Speech, in whieh he said that
Ireland's prospects were never brigh
than now. At Londonderry the INT
tionalists, with bands of music, parad&fI

ber of stonewere thrown and an inspec-
tor and a .consteble were injured.

Hume.' ASSIZES. -The Huron Spring
Assizes opened at Goderich Monday
afternoon, Hon. Mr. Justice Hese pre-
siding. There are nine civil cases for
trial. The- only- criminal charge is that
or forgery. Wm. Lount, Q. C., of Bar-
rie, will conduct the Crown business.
His Lordship, in charging ,the grand
jury, congratulated them upon the ap-
parent absence of crime in the county.
• He reminded them of their right t� pre-
sent to the court their views in regard
to any matters that in their judgment
required legislative • attention. • One
matter that was beginning to affeet the
interest of the public was the labor pro-
blem, and he thought before ending
their session they might perhaps. think
it wise -to give the country the benefit of
the result of their mature deliberations
on the subject. It was a question that
this country with other countries must .
face very soon, and -it was to be hoped it
would' meet with a peaceful solution. It
was not ()elite right to say that labor and
capital were • in conflict, or that they
should be. In the tature of things they
should not be. , They must Work hand
in hand if the true interests of the coun-
try are to he considered. 'While it
WOuld not do to have those Who have
• been placed by the public in possession
of large franchises and great power
through wealth to handle it to the detri-
ment of the wintry, on the 'other hand
it would never do that those who have
the power to make money, the power to
labor,' should be able to combine and
subvert the peace and order and the
prOsperity of the country in order to
accomplish that which they think is in
their interest. If those who command
labor and those who command capital
caneot harmonize and work quietly and
peaceably in theeolution of this problem,
then legislating] backed by public opin-
ion, must be brought to bear and the
administration of justice be enforced.
The 'first case • tried was •that of
Graham vs. Vanstone. Grahain, who is.
a grain ,dealer of -Brussels, -claims that -
he sold the Messrs. •Vanstone, millers,
of the . same place, 3,500 bushels of
whet;. that the Vanstones refused to
carry, out the bargain after receiving 600
bushels of the wheat. Graham claims
$446 es his loss by reason of VanStones'
alleged non performance of the coritract.
'Verdict for plaintiff for $446. •
The grand jury returned the following
true bills : Against G. Donavan, (me of
forgery ,in uttering a forged document
knowing it to be forged, and one of' olh
taining goods by false pretences. The
prisener was arraigned, pleaded guilty,

time he studied hard to fit -himself for a
higher calling. .In due time he became
echool teacher, at which- employment
he reinained for ten years, four of:which
he was principal of the Exeter sehool.
Daring these years he saved sufficient
means to put him `through college,where

Mr. VanEgmond, who is nearly 74 years
of age, ancl very few of its •members are
as active as he, netwithstancling his age:
• In conversation the other day, he stated
that it was no unusual thing for him to
walk from Clinton to London in a day
when there was no track but a survey-

age over stumps and logs. He was the
fikt mail carrier in this section, and his
route was only froin Galt to Goderich

necessary, were carried on his book, and
he "hoofed it" every step of the way,

eight horses. It was carried to a speci-

• Seed Barley.
The following, which is of interest to
farmers at this time of year, is taken
from the commercial columns of the
Toronto Globe of- Monday last: There
has been an increase of Mensury and
Russian •barley sown in this Province
the past few- years and the result has
been very unsatisfactory. The yields of
these species are large, and the prices
low; but it is almost unfit for malting.
Dealers have had considerable trouble
thisseason in making sales owing to the
large proportion of Russian and Men-
sury mixed in with finer quelities of
malting barley. If Canada is to main-
tain her reputation for the best barley,
our farmers must stop seeding with these
inferior qualities. They will not bring
within 2.0 cents a bushel of what our
best barley sells at, and they are as un-
profitab e to the farmer as to the con-
sumer.

the court at Toronto on Wednes-
day the petition against the return of
Mr. W. II. Howland, mayor of that
city, was sustained, his election voided,
and anew election ordered. The grounds
of the petition was that Mr. Howland's
property qualification was insufficient
He will again be a candidate, and will
likely be re-elected.

• Our Cause.
At the opening of one of his lectures,
J. B. Gough once said: " Tbe lessons I
have learned are the bitter- lessons of ex-
perience, hard to learn and difficult to
forget. I care but little for the unity of
what -I shall say, and I would as soon
obtain the reputation a man gave his
clock as any other." He said, I have
a very reliable clock, for wheh it paints
at two, it always strikes twelve, and
then I knew it's half -past seven o'clock."
I care but little in what direction 1 point
or'hoiv I strike, if I can accomplish my
purpose of enlisting sympathy.for our
cause, stimulating investigation of our
stateinents, or exciting interest in our
behalf. I may be so discursive as to re-
mind you of a man who was constantly
a,stonishing his employer, a farmer, by
doing strange and unexpected things.
One day the farmer went into the barn,
and found his man had hung himself.
Looking at the dangling bodya few
minutes, he exclaimed, " What on earth
will 'that fellow do next?"
