THE HURON EXPOSITOR, 5 with uss—Mr. Fred Dunsford left on Tumidity last for &wales—The grounds at the market have been feneed in and gates have been put up. Upon examination we find that the grounds are far too small for cattle to be kept in the yard, end we would suggest that the council should buy the property of Mr. Joseph 13swden as soon as possible, as the village will be called upon for damages frorn shippers, as the grounds are too narrow for horned cattle to be pen- ned up in. Unless the council pass a by- law for the fanners, who intend shipping cattle from here, to raise mnley cattle or have them deborned, as they will, under the present state of the grounds, hook them- selves and probably kill each other, thereby leaving a loss on the shipper, who can com- pel the ratepayers to foot the bill. The re- modelling of the grounds and fencing has cost the ratepayers nearly two hundred dollars, already, and now we have not suffi- cient room for cattle.—Professor W4 IL ideeke, humorist, will hold forth in Draws's Opera House on Tuesday evening next. He is iiighiy spoken of by the press.—Division Court was held here on Monday last, with no cases on the docket. Zurich. Bair.—Mr. Charles Hey, public school teacher at Johnston's Mills, and Miss F. Karcher, of the Itth concession, were last week joined in the holy bonds of matrimony. We wish them much joy in the wedded life. —Mr. Alfred Faust, assistant post -master -here, left on Monday for Michigan, where he will probably stay for some time, if he likes the country. We wieh him much suc- cess in Uncle Sam's land.—Miss Willis is the guest of her uncle, Mr. II. C. Doan— Miss Hoffman left for Stratford a few days ago to attetid the funeral of one of her friends.—Mr. Louis Weber and wife, of Rochester, left here on Tuesday for their home in Rochester, after having. spent about four weeks here visiting friends.—Mies Annie Brenner left for St. Thomas this week, where she will stay during the eummer.—Mr. John Dummert has engaged with Mr 11 Nagel in the livery stable for the summer.—Mr. Ed. Bossenbery is mak- ing sweeping sales and doing a large busi- ness in the farm implement line.—Rev. S.N. Moyer and Rev. G. F. Heist have gone to Compton to attend conference, consequently there will be no service in the Evangelical church next Sunday.—Last Monday the Lutheran congregation prepared and leveled the ground around the parsonage for a lawn, which makes a great improvement,—Farm- ers are proceeding rapidly with their seed- ing. Some are done and most of them are nearly so. They had fine cool weather for seeding and the ground worked well.—Mr. John Kibler, who has been in Hamilton for the past seven months attending oommercial college returned last Saturday, having ob- taiteed a diploma.—Horace Hardy and Geo. Bnchanan are home from Goderioh high sellout at preeent. applications being received in onaweek, and numerous peakages being sent ww well ma tree seeds. He alluded to experiments in plowing and seeding at Brandon. Oats and tares grown together and cut green had given five tons of hay an acre at Brandon. Live Stock and Produce. (By Our Special Correspondent.) MONTREAL, April 19.—There is not nfuch 'change in the live stook market. The pros- pects are somewhat brighter as it is now pretty well understood that the foot and mouth disease, which has been playing havoc in England and Scotland for some months past, has been got under control. Should any of the markets be under restric- tions when the Canadian season opens it is not likely that our cattle will be dented the priailege heretofore enjoyed of going into the country on the hoof. The American shipments continue very heavy and prices are higher at Chicago owing to a temporary -shoirtage in the receipts; but heavy supplies ire expected- before the week closes and prices will go back to their former level. The Montreal syndicate are still buying at Chioago to fill the space engaged by them out of American ports, about 500 head being shipped by them from Chicago on Friday. A cable from Liverpool to -day read al followtt: "Outlook for Canadians more promising. States selling at . 50. sinking effete." The local market was very quiet to -day. Only about five loads were re- ceived and fully two of these were left un- sold, the butchers laying in their supplies for the Easter trade last week. Hogs were ID good supply and firm at $5.70 per cwt. FLOUR AND GRAIN. The flour market is dull and without material change. Villiers are shading prices, and still find business slow. They are anxiously awaiting some settlement of the Newfoundland difficulty, as a failure to patch matters up would leave no outlet for - Ontario flour. Straight reline are selling at $4.40 to $4.50, and Manitoba baker's et $4.50. It is impossible to give quotations, as no two houses are getting the same figure. The market is still over supplied with oat meal, and continues very dull. Rolled twits are selling at $3.85. The wheat market is quiet. No trans- actions are reported on epot ; but business is reported in the west, one lot of 17,000 bushels of Ontario winter changing hands at 85o f. o. b, vessel for May shipment. No. 2, Manitoba has been sold at 96c, North Bay. . Peas are being offered mord freely in the Stratford district at 60o per 60 pounds, f. o. b.; but shippers are not taking hold very freely. Quotations here are 78o per 66 pounds afloat May, and 730 to 750 in store. Sales of Manitoba feed barley are reported at 42o, and a small business is being done in malting at 55c to 63c. Oatsrule steady under a fair export demand, quotations for car lots being 33o to 340 for No. 2s and 31e to 82c for NO. 3s. A con- siderable quentity of mixed and white oats have been taken in the country during the past few days for export at 28 to 30c f. o. b. A sale of 1,500 bushels of buckwheat is reported at 53e on spot, 53 to 540 being about the idea. The principal change in the seed market is the advance of 50c in red clover.at Chicago. The market is in con= sequence firmer here, quotations are red clover $7.50 to $8 per bushel. Alsike, $7 to $9, Cansdian Timothy $2 to $2.15 and American $1.85 to $1.90. 'PRODUCE. The butter market is easier, and while holders are making big concessions to effect a clearance, they report the movement very slow. Heavy stocks of old creamery con- tinue to have a weakening effect, one lot of 100 packages being sold at 18c, or 5c under cost price last fall. New creamery has sold up to 230-; but 22c is ;.parer the mark to-. day. New townships is being placed at 20c to 21c and western at 16 to 18c. There is evidently an over supply of butter in Mani- toba, some small lots selling here recently' at 14 to 18c. The cheese season has opened up on about - the same basis as it did last year. The first Iota which have been received cost about 11c, and show very good quality for ,fodder stock. The April make of several factories bas been contracted for at 10o. The Ingersoll people evidentleenut,de a mis- take in holding their old stock so long. The English market is easier, the public cable being not 558, and they will not make with- in half a cent per pound what they would have a short time ago. About 7,500 boxes of thin cheese went forward last week via New York, and further shipments are ex- pected this week. The egg market is weak, owing to the very liberal supplies; and slow demand and no sales are reported above 12o. Maple products are stronger; but the quality of the syrup is falling off. Sugar is selling at 7c to 8o, and syrup at 5c to 5-io per pound from the wool. Grey. BRIEFS. —Mrs. Wm. Mitchell, of Logan and Elma boundary, is very seriously ill.— The Misses Duke have moved into Ethel. The girls will be greatly missed on the 12th concession, but cheer up, boys, they're not SO very far away yet. Seeding will not last forever and the roads are drying nicely.— Mr. John Harris, of the 16th concession, is going to put up a fine barn 50x70 on thh stone foundation built for it last fall. Thos.

He and his men are busy now at Mr. Harris' and the frame -work will be raised next week.—The trustees of School Section No. I have en- gaged Mr, James Moore, of Trowbridge, as Mr. Bowerman's successor in their school.

NOTES.—Mr. George Hood, of Sunshine, continues in poor health. His many friends hope to see him going around again before 1„ long.—Farmers are very busy at present putting in their spring crops. The1eather oontinues very cold, and some grain that Was sown a week ago won't be any further ahead than what was sown -this week. On account of the frosty nights the grad& will make no headway until warm weather.—The fell wheat has gone back a good deal lately. Some fields are getting quite brown and thin.—A number of folks on the 6th line are making molasses yet. That industry is nearly out of sesson.—A good many agree with what Mr, Hays says in his letter in the EXPOSITOR, last week, concerning the Colorado wheat. As farmers had no better kind to take its place, and the notice given was too short to make any change, there will be a lot of Colorado wheat sown all over the country, and in a few years more it may prove all right for making good flour.—Mr. Wm. Russell, of the 6th line, is ill at present. Births. CHESNEY.—In Egnsondville, on the' 4th inst., the wife of Mr. H. M. Chesney, of a. daughter.

He produced samples of wheat obtained by crossing Ladogaand red Fyfe (two sampler° and Ladoga. and white Fyfe named " Abundance ' and " Alpha,' which promise to be most success- ful, and will shertIy be distributed to farmers. Touching on peas, he advocated the culti- vation of the largest varieties, eapecielly the black-eyed rnarrowfat and running peas, as these produced over 39 bushels to the acre, and sold well for export. Sugar beets had produced about 39 tons an acre, and proved of value as articles of nutriment or for manufacture, while carrots made an excellent crop and possessed feed- ing qualities ahead of mangolds. The largeat yield of potatoes obtained was from the Daisy," which yielded 534 bush- els to the acre, while the "Beauty of Hebron" gave 347 bushels to the acre. He advocated selecting seed potatoes of large eize. There had been a large demand for forest treee from the Northwest territories, 2,500 IM ORT,ANT NOTICES.

A 3Orrespondent of the London Lancet maintains the scientific correctness of Shakespeare's assertion that the toad "sweats venom." He says that this venom is of a tolerably powerful nature and that instead of being secreted by the salivary glands, as in snakes it -is actually secreted by the skin so that the word " sweated " is most accurately descriptive. This secretion, Dr. Guthrie states, also occurs in the toad through the parotid gland, the venom being a thick, milky, fluid like the juice of dandelion stalks in taste and appearance. When injected under the skin, it kills small birds in mix minutes, and dogs and guinea pigs in half an hour to an hour and a half. The symptoms in birds are loss of co-ordination, followed by death; in guinea pigs convulsions, and in the dog depression, vomiting and in- toxication. Dr. Guthrie kept a small toad in a cage with some Hoards'and one of them, having bitten the toad, became convulsed and died ID less than two minutes. Hie dog having eeized a toad, was attacked by instantaneous and profuse salivation, violent vomiting,and collapse. He states also that his hand was poisoned from handling a toad. Marriages.
