ing the year, was read, and a message
of condolence ordered to be forwarded
to Mrs. Tirner. The only change in the
circuits recommended, was that Zion

when shown, and took a prize as a calf
before leaving Scotland.
-A writ was issued at Osgoode hall,
Toronto, on Monday, at the instance of
Mr. John Browne Toronto, against the
proprietors of the Huron Signal, Goder-
ieh, for $10,000 damages for alleged
libel arising out of the recent contest in
West Huron. Brown was "stumping" in
the interests of Mr. Porter., Should the
case go to trial no doubt some interest-
ing developments will be brought to
light.
-Last Sanday afternoon the resi-
dence ef Mr. C. II. Wilson, near
Greenway, in the township of Stephen,
was struck by lightning. It hit the
chimney, passed down a stove pipe, and
forced open the door ot the dining -room
stove, just as Mrs, Wilson was entering
the room. She saw the electric fluid
dart from the stove across the room and
out of the window, breaking the casings
but not a single pane of glass, and doing
no other damage.
-Mr. J. C. Stevenson, of Clinton,
has been appointed by the Ontario Gov-
ernment to the position, of Inspector of
Anatomy for the town of Clinton and
the townships of Goderich,
Tuskerianith and Stanley. This appoint-
ment is made under the statute entitled
"an Act respecting the study of anat-
omy." To this inspector must be re-
ported the finding of the body of any
person in the territory named who has
died without relatives or friend, or
that remains unclaimed by apy person
entitled to the same. The Inspector
takes possession of such a body and
deals with it as directed by the Act. a
-Mr. Jacob Ryan, of Dungannon,
met with a very serious accident last
Friday morning. He was preparing to
go on a journey and had hitched his
horse to the buggy, but by mistake had
hitched only. one tug and one holdback
strap. As he stepped into the rig the
spirited animal dashed off, and when
Mr, Ryan tightened the lines the buggy
ran up on the horse. The animal be-
came frightened and ran away, throwing
Mr. Ryan out on a pile bf stones and
breaking his _arm and three Of his ribs.
Medical aid was soon summoned and. the
arm set. We are pleased to learn that
Mr. Ryan is progressbag favorably.
-Mrs. Joseph Walker, of Londes-
boro, in the township of laullett, died
very suddenly on Tuesday night of last
week, at the age of 30 years. For -some
time past she has been in a very delicate
state of health, and has suffered con-
siderably from heart trouble. On sev-
eral occasions the spasms were so severe
that it was feared she would not survive
them. Her blood had become very thin
and she was proportionately weak.
On Tuesday she appeared to be even
better than usual, but about 8 o'clock
she took a severe ,suffocating spasm of
the heart, and before an hour she had
passed away. Her husband, believing
her to be much better, had left home on
Monday, and did not return until after
her death, and was overpowered with
grief on finding her dead. She leaves
behind her two little girls too young to
realize their loss.
-A fame:- in Ashfield township nam-
ed Wm,. Phillips, owns a mare two years
old which has been suffering since last
August. Mr. Phillips has had all the
vetsin the neighborhood and qua.eks
that come along trea.tbag the colt, but
none of them could do anything for it.
They all seemed to think what ailed it
was a running sore. The seat of the
trouble was in the upper part of the
nigh hind leg on the inside. At last
Mr. Philips heard of Mr. James Wil-
son, V. S., of Wingham, and on Satur-
day last brought the colt into town, to'
try ance mare to have it cured. Mr.
in company with Dr. Gunn; M. D.
performed au operation on it, and ab-
stracted from the sere a hemlock knot
about three inches long and one inch in
diameter. The animal is now getting
better.
-Last Sabbath morning Mr. John
Gilbert, of Corbett in the township of
Stephen noticed on going to his barn
thae the cloor had been opened. On exam-
ination he found a large quantity of oats
was stolen. He traced tracks to the
road where a team had steed, and fol-
lowed the wagon track north to Mr.
Daniel Young's place. He laid °�m -
plaint before W. S. Wilson, J: P., who
issued a search warrant and sent•county
constables, R. L. and C. W. Wilson, to
search the place. A quantity of peas
and oats was founcl in the loft of the
dwelling house. They arrested Daniel
Young and a man that had been work-
ing for him by the name of George Roe.
The magistrate said it was the first
offence and would charge him $7 and
costs, and return the oats to Mr. Gil-
bert, or, in default, 301 days in Goderich
jail with hard labor.

village of Ethel had a Inc programme

DESCRIPTION OF THE COUNTRY, 'CLIMATE,
AND INDUSTRIES.!
; I ._,, ,
DEAR EXPOSITOR. -Leaving W ingnam
on the 4th May,I came west via Detroit, ,
Chicago, &c. It i is admitted , that%
'Chicago has the greatest push of any
-city in the union. For se large.a city it
has a comperatively low mortality. The
nlorth breezes from the lake are very cold
'during autumn, wieter, and spring. I
visited the Presbyterian ' and county
.hospitals, and city infirmaries. The
.numbhi• and variety of sick and dying
is simply appalling. I must speak in
'high terms of the modern facilities for
ministering to the lingeringand the
dying. The means for whirling patients
afflicted with acute infectioup diseases to
the top of the buiMing, is worthy of
!note. I was pleased w,ith the ingenious
'inventions for laborsaving be the Ameri-
can cities, such as steam scoops for un-
' loading coal, sand; etc., steam elevators
' for carrying, brick :and mortar up. high
buildings„ cable street cars drawn by
stationary engines, &c. 1Upon ' looking
dowil. the streets and avenues from the
railWay depots of Chicago, one can dis-
, tieguish through the dense smoke noth-
,ing hut buildings towering skyward, and
a continuous ' bustle of Vehicles, street
cars, and multitudes of people passing to
and fro. - The whirligig of businee that
is carried on in thisoity knows no rest,
no intermission day or night. The
wickedness is frightful. Hundreds of
laborers and inechenics who have lived
herall their livesareroaming about in
1
que t of employmeet,yet a stranger may
strike h, job right away, because a coni -
once discharging a person will not
again engage the same individual.
Proceeding west -Ward theeye beholds
nothing but , vast trairie, With its ever-
changing beauty and encircling vastness.
It is to my mirecl an excellent farming
country, and is pretty thoroughly set-
tled as such. Fruit trees blossom and
leaf out about the first of May. After
passing through Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
and on entering Kansas, I concluded
that I had been transported six or seven
weeks farther on in the `season. All
vegetation has put her glory on; balmy
spring is arrayed in all her
• delightful and refreshing verd.ency,
with her garlands of roses and, bright
green leaves -her 1 udding beauty and ,
youthful vigor charm the lovers' of rural
landscape. How dtlightful to get, away
from the crowded city, with its cesspools
of filth, out into the pure country air,
where the cry of 1the boot -black and ,
newsboy is heard by the traveller no
1
more. ,
1 I have conimenced busineas in the city
of Concordia, whichfis a county seat and
railway centre. The eoil i of Kansas
State is sandy loam, having a depth of 3
to 20 feet. It produces in abundance
all kinds of grain, except peas, which
grow too rankly. Prairie grass was the
chief fodder till the last few years, when
the raising of timothy, clover and alfalfa
was begun. These are now grown with
success. The aveeage per acre is the
• following: Wheat, 20 bushels; oats, 50
to 70 bushels; corn, 50 bushels; pota-
toes, half as prodective as in Ontario.
This State has a gradual slope to the,
outheast, therefore it has no swamps.
It is ' rapidlY becoming qhite a fruit
country. It is -not uncomMon for far-
ers to have 400 to 1,500 hogs. Someimes the chhlera nearly deseroys them
11. The climate is pretty warm in sum-
[
er and never very cold in winter. The
1 and storm % are an inconvenience to the
°entry. There is no great' labor in
etting farms cultivated or in making
oads-just survey the land, lay out the
Toads, and build bridges across the
rivers and ereeks. Lumber and fire -
Wood are twice to four times as costly as
in Ontario. Good coal is $11 a ton.;
*teak 10 cents 'a pound; eggs 6 cents a
dozen • butter. 10 cents a pound, and
flour $2.5O per 100 pounds. The law
here prohibits the manufacture, impor-
tation and sale of alcoholic liquors, and
is carried ottt very strictly. The jail
here is nearly half full of persons who
thoughtlessly violated thit the most
tringent and rigidly enforc d liquor law
n the continent. The lidjuor here is
ept by the druggists. An person who
ets liquor must be over 21 years of age
nd not in the habit of drinking, and
i,ust swear that it is for cmitain MIAs;
ou cannot even !treat your friend with
t. I have heard a great noise in the
ast about the wickedness and drinking
i;
f the west, but in my opinion Kansas
en 'teach Onterio and the east some
norals and how to carry out a prohi-
itory liquor law.

Live Stock Ma kets.
MoN+RNAL, May 31. -There wh a fair supply
of buthhers' cattle on the matkets to -day, but
owing to the active demand, th high prices. of
last Thursday were pretty well maintained.. A

from 3c to 4c per lb. Calves are in good supply

Toeusao, June L -The run of cattle this week
so far has been light; among the offerings are 4
few partly grass-fed. The :deunuid for export
though quite active on Friday, was dull yesteri•
day, and only a few loads changed hands t
values are abaut the same as a week ago, but are
lower than on Friday; the falling offin the de-
mo.nd seems to be due to a scarcity of space at
Montreal and a conseqbent advance in freights.;
yesterday's sales ran from $4.25; to 84.75 per cwt.
for steers and heifers, and $3.50 to 84.25 for bulls
Feedingateers are in good dehiand but only
i
few are ria, prices are firmer nt 3 to •Ps per la

vance in the price of cattle at these points. At

; at laic per lb. Demand is cabled good, and feel-
- ing steady. Calves continue. to offer freely -1;
most of theni are common to medium quality,
weighing 85 to 140 lbs., and sell at 82 to 86 per
head. Spring lambs are in good demand, bat
i.re those ready
there hive been heavy receipts during the past
ew days, and prices are about 60 to 750 per
