Taylor died at her home on the 9th Conces- sion of Howick. She had been afflioteel with a tumor Which caused a complication of troubles that defied medical skill, and her demise Was not nnlooked `for. Deoeased was a resident of the neighborhood for a long time and had formed many warm friendships which strengthened into love as the years peeled on so that her death has caused a wide-spreall feeling of sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved ones, in the community. -On Saturday last, as Henry Morris, of the township of Colborne, was driving home from the grist mill at Dungannon, and when passing down the street on his way home his spirited horses by some 1116111111 or other took fright, and becoming unmanageable, ran off the street and over the fence to Mr. T. Smiley', property. Ther horses jumped the fence, leaving the wagon and Mr. Morris an the other side of it. No damage was done save a few scratches received by the horses and the harness being broken in a few places. -On Wednesday forenoon, last week, Dr. R. W. Kneohtel, the popular medico, of Ripley, and formerly of Brussels, and Miss Bella, eldest daughter of Mr. David Moore, of the 8th concession of Morris, were united in the bonds of wedlock, at the residence of the bride's parents by Rev. David Perrie,of Chesley, assisted by Rev. David Forrest. of Welton. The bride was attended by Miss ary MeGavin, of Grey, the two young ladies being neatly attired in cream cashmere with white roses, lilies of the valley and white emanation,. The groomsman was Mr. Wm. Moore, of Torotto, brother of the bride. -Mr. W. H. Ransforcl, formerly of Clin- ton, has been appointed agent of the Fitch- burg Railroad Noethern Fast Freight lines,t which include the National Despateh,Canada, Atlantic, the Soo, Rome, Waterdowa and Ogdensburg, and Ogdentbrirg Transit Com- pany, with head office in 250 Washington street, Boston. Mr. Ransford always had an upward tendency, and it is not at all aur - prising that he succeeds. The unpleasant fa,ot for us to face is, that all the smart, clever ones in our midst are forming them- selves part and parcel of the United State, which country is annexing se rapidly as pos- sible just what they moat desire, viz,, the. cream of our population, leaving us the re- mainder. The Religions of the People. The Department of Agriculture for the Dominion has issued a bulletin giving the religions of the people. We append below the figures for the counties of Huron and Perth as divided into Dominion electoral districts: their frailty. The same mai ba.said of .11n - num life. The fairest forms are generally, the frailest. It is Vali then for as to pride ourselves in any outward belety of form. or face that we may think we possess, for beauty is fleeting. Though we had the beauty of a Lady Hamilton, or a Mary Queen of Scots, or a Byron, yet it would perish in a few years at the most. The lower. are healthy and vigorous to -day, to- morrow they may wither and be destroyed. It is the lame with human life. To -day we may be in the prime and flush of manhood or womanhood. to -morrow we may be cold and silent in death. Life is a constant war- fare against death,* for desth reigns since Adam. We are surrounded by foroes that tend to crush us. Even in our own bodies the elements of decay and death are found. Him vain and foolish then it is for us to glory in our possessions or beanty,or health, or strength, for these erowne, beautiful though they be, will fade. The victor in the Olympian games was the envy of all as he returned crowned with a beautiful wreath of laurel, but how soon the emblem faded. It is -tbe same with all earthly crowns and expectation.; they fade and pass from us,and if they do not pass from us we peas away from them. This is the dark side, but there is a bright side to this pic- ture of human life. The soul, the jewel of our being does not die, but will live a life parallel with its Maker. Earthly crowns may and will fade,but Christi says, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." . Lastly, we may learn from the flower the goodness and benevolence of God in clothing, even this lower world with • snob beauty and fragranoe. The flowers are of all shapes, oolors and perfumes. We would soon tire of one kind, no matter how beautiful. God has, therefore, given us great variety in nature. We might also surmise in connection with the lesson what a place Heaven will be. If this earth which is hurtled by sin is so beautiful, what muit Heaven be? When a great artist with un- limited means at his disposal, builds his own house we would expect it to be magnifi- cent. Heaven ieGod's throne, it is His own house; it is the home of all His redeemed people; it is the home of angels; it is the onei-home of the universe. Infinite Jove and skill has designed it; Wilke power and re- sources have built and furnished it. I do not know that there will be flowers in Heaven., Our ideas of Heaven are always associated with what we see on earth. But whatever Heaven may be like; whatever the employ- ments and joys of its inhabitants, this we know, that it will be a place where sin and death can never enter; where every longing of the soul will be satisfied, and where we shall ever live in the bloom and vigor of eternal youth.

'READ BEFORE THE SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR, IlEatSALL, MAY 15, 18921 Matt. vi. 2444. Christ took his illustrations chiefly from nature and generally from his inunediate surroundings. Thus ttaz trees, the spar- rows, the vine, the floviers and many other natural objects, all furnished the Great Teacher with object lessons with which to enforce spiritual truths. Christ's aim in thee teaohing may have boon: First, to ar- rest attention. His own disciples as well as the multitudes, were dull in their compre- hension of apiritual truths, and consequent- ly listless and indifferent in their attention. Second, to provoke inquiry in the minds and hearts of the listeners. Third, to illuminate the truth and bring it home with greater force. In the lesson subject before us we have Christ using the flowers as , an object lesson. There are many lessons we might learn from the flowers, and I will try to in- dicate a few of them. First,then,the primary lesson is, that our Heavenly Father who clothes the flowers with such beauty, and fills them, with such fragrance, without any toil on their part, is perfectly able and will- ing to provide necessary clothing for his • children, without nesclless anxiety on their part. Second, we may learn from the flowers the frailty of hutnat life, and the perishable nature of all earthly things. The flowers are among the most beautiful things in all creation, but in their beauty consists country.

LONDON, May 23. -The Mark Lave Ex- press, to -day says: There is a short yield of English wheat and oats. There is en in- creasing probability that the sales of Eng- lish wheat will be larger than ever remem- bered in the same week. The value, how- ever, has reverted to the moderate level of 1890. Foreign wheat has lately been pressed upon the market, coinciden with heavy offerings, hence it has been impossible to maintain the value. The declin , how- ever, does not exceed a; shilling on white wheat and sixpence on red, indicating a decided substratum of firmness. The mar- ket, neverthelese'is remarkable. South Russian wheatwhich in May, 1891, brought forty-two shillings is now thirty-five shil- lings, despite the prohibition on !export which has been in force since lett Xovem- her. - . British Live Stock Trad. John Swan & Sone' weekly reportsays: 3 The supplies of fat cattle in Edinburgh have been rather larger, while in Glasgow they have been about an average. Owing to the milder weather,and worse trade in the meat markets, trade all over has been quietersand prices would fall about 10s each frem last week. Fat sheep have been shown in fair numbers. Notwithstanding the wqrse re- ports from the south and the unfavorable weather for slaughtering, trade in Edipburgh was as nearly as possible similar to last week, but in Glasgow it wa# decidedly worse at a considerable reduction in values. Fat lambs are being ehown in large numbers, and these met an exceedingly dearer trade. -Fat calves in good demand at advanced rates, while fat pigs made about lastiweek's prices. About 1,400 States cattle hare been shown in Glasgow this week, which are re- ported to have met a fair trade. Store sheep, if of good quality, make satisfactory. prices. There have been large numbers of store cattle shown at the various sales throughout the week. For the best classes quite last year's prices were realized, but secondary were slow to sell. Best beef, 8e to 8s 3d; secondary, 7s 6d to 78 9d per stone; best mutton, 8d ; secondary, 74d to 8d per pound. • Fall Wheat per iushel.

MONTREAL, May 24th. -Cable adyices re- ceived here from Liverpool to -day stake that the English market for Canadian cag,16 is still depressed. Sales were made to -day in the Liverpool market at 50 and sixpence, which may be called the ruling price for prime. Cattlemen here say that there will be nothing in the market for Canadian ship- pers until the price reaches did, The ,ex- ports from this port last week, as .shown by a statement published below, and furnished bytter. Bickerdike & Co., were 5,638 head of cattle. Western live stock exporters will be in- terested to hear that an advance hes taken place in the price of Glasgow freight, and that next month a pretty general advance is expected on the part of those line e which have not already let their space. The steam- ship Colina was the first boat to be taken at the advance. She went out for Glesgow on Saturday at 65s 6d, being chartered by some Manitoba exporters. It is learned, that to- day 701 was asked for space to Glasgow, and that this figure will probably be accepted. The Celina was not let by the agents. She had been chartered previously by gr. John Crowe who sublet this space at the ad- vanced figure. Cattle space at She present time is none too plentiful at this point, and • there are three reasons for the scarcity. In the first place, the new Government regula- tions have reduced the cattle -carrying capao- ity of the boats about 10 per eept., then more horses than usual have beim going forward to the Old Country, and it is stated that the Aliens have let a number 9f spaces for horses on each of their boats. There is likely to be a large number of horses go for- ward to the Old Country this year, probably more than ever before. In addition to these reasons some exporters have been sending hay to the Old Country instead of cattle, using the cattle space between decks. The three big lines have not yet named any rates for June, some indeed having space let at 60s, but in a number of the other outside lines the highest rates Will be asked, and 708 obtained if possible. Most of this space is in the hands of a few persona who chart- ered the outside boats for the season some time ago, and, of course, by subletting their space they will reap the benefit of the ad- vance in freights. The advance will affect the Western shippers most, as they have the cattle purchased and must ship them. Out of the 8,000 distillers in the country only a few thousand head have gone forward, and June is the prineipal month for shipping them. The men who have the space here claim also to be in a position to more or less command' the Canadian market, and they claim that cattle are going to be loWer in the West.
