Mr. McKenzie stopped the teatn and walked out between the horses on the tongue and removed the rein, and was returning again to the wagon, when he slipped, but recovered himself. A party on the sidewalk remarked that he was in a dangerous position. In reply he said he guessed he would get back all right, but at that instant one of the horse made a bound, and he fell between them, and they ran up town. The wheel of the wagon striking him on the side of the head, broke the ekull in for about three inches. Several parties ran to him'but he only breathed about five minutes. He leaves a wife and six small children to mourn his untimely end.

Rich Man's Estimate of Wealth. The London Tidbits lately offered a prize for the best definition of money. The prize was awarded to Henry E. Bane, of Sheffield, who defined it thus: "An arti- ole which may be need as a universal pass- port to everywhere except heaven, and as a universal provider of everything except • happiness. The wisdom of this definition is apparent to every thoughtful mind. Jacob Ridgway, a wealthy citizen of Philadelphia, who died some years ego, leaving a fortune of six millions, once had the following conversation with a young man who regarded riches as the most de- sirable thing to be obtained in this life. The young man said to him: "Mr. Ridgway, you are more to be envied than any gentleman, I know." " Why eo ?" re- sponded Mr. Ridgway. '1 am not aware of any cause for which I should be particu- larly envied." "What, sir !" exclaimed the young man, in astonishment. "Why, are you not a millionaire? Think of the thousands your iricome brings you every month?" " Welle what of that?" replied Mr. Ridgway. "Alt I get out of it is my victuals and clothes, and I can't eat more than one man's allowance or wear more than one suit at a time. Pray, can't you do as much ?" "Ah ! but," said the youth, "think of the hundreds of fine houses you own and the rental they bring you !" "What better off I am I for that?" replied the rich man. 'I can only live in one house. at a time; as for the money I re- ceive for rents, why, I can't eat it, or wear it; I can only use it to buy other houses for other people to live in; they are bene- ficiaries, not I." "But you can buy sph3n- did furniture and costly pictures and car- riages and horses ; in fact, what you de- sire." "And after I have bought them," responded Mr. Ridgway, "what then? I can only look at the furniture and pictures, and the poorest man who is not blind can do the same. I can ride no easier in a fine car- riage than you in an omnibus for five cents, with the trouble and attention to drivers, footmen, and hostlere ; and as to anything I desire. I can tell you, young man, that, the less we deoire in this world the happier we shall be. All my wealth cannot buy back my youth, ceunot purchase exemption from sickness and pain, cannot procure me •power to keep afar off the hour of death ; and then, what will all avail when, in a few short years at most, I lie down in the grave, and leave it all forever. Young man, you have no cause to envy me." The fountain of • consent must spring up in the mind, and he who has so little knowledge of human na- ture as to seek happiness by changing any- thinging but his disposition, will waste his life in fruitlese •efforts, and multiply the griefs which he proposes to remove. Mr. Amos Lawrence, also a. very wealthy man, held his estates subject to the calls of God. Hie motto; through life was "charac- ter before wealth," and had inscribed on his pocket book: "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul ? He was e, man of large success. But hie fortune was only incidental to the great purpose of life. . Once he sent tro his partners for six hun- dred dollars in email bilis, for charitable purposes. A few days afterward he sent foe more, quoting in his note the following froth - some quaint writer "The good there is in riches lieth all together in their use. Like the woman's bok of ointment, if it be not broken and the contents poured out for the refreshment of Jesus Christ in his distressed members, they lose their worth. I will, therefore, be the richer by charitably laying out, while the world long will be the poorer by his covetous hoarding up." Wroxeter. MASONIC. -Messrs, Elliott, Knutson Fox, Green and other prominent Free Masons were at Listowel on Tuesday getting put a step higher in the order.

FRO31 elaserromnaaAnother batch of news has been received from the boys. who went to the vicinity of Crystal City, Manitoba, Test spring. They report matters and things quite brisk. The wevatier is now very hot,grain is growing rapidly and seems to be making up for the backwardness of the spring. The threshing of last year's crop is still in progress, but it is expected that it will be all finished by the first of July. This newly -threshed grain, which has been in stacks all winter, brings a very low price: Wheat from 25 to 35 cents per bushel ; barley, 13 cents; oats, 10 cents; but then when a farmer has from five to seven days' threshing there is money in it even at that. A large acreage of wheat has been sown in that section this year, each farmer sowing from 100 to 300 acres. One fellow wrote: " Thunderation,the mosquitos are bad; we have to wear a veil all day," they are told that the " mosquito season is a very short one. Matters are getting lively in political circles, as the Provincial elections are to be held there soon. • The boys are in Premier Greenway's constituency ; his op- ponent is Robert Rogers, a well informed, gentlemanly young man, who "stands in well with the boys, and it is said that the contest will be a very close one. Canvass- ing has been in full swing for some time, Londesboro. NOTES. -Mr. A. Woodman represented the Foresters' lodge, of this plaee, at the Grand Lodge meeting, at Stratford, last week. -Rev.

' YOUNG MEN'S LIBERAL CLUB. -On Mon- day evening last, a well -attended and en- thusiastic meeting of the Liberals of Mit- chell and surrounding townehips, was held in Campbell's Hall, in this town, for the purpose of organizing a Young Men's Liberal Club. Dr. Wood occupied the chair, and, calling the meeting to order, explained in a few well-chosen remarks the object in view. He then called upon Mr. James Watson, President of the Young Men's Liberal Club of Sea.forth, to address the meeting, which he did in a short but practical manner. Mr. J. Darwin, Secretary of the Y. M. L. C. of Seaforth, followed, explaining at length the objects and aims of the Young Liberal Clubs,. at the close of which all those in the room came forward and entered their names on the roll. The election of officers was then proceeded with, and resulted as fol - tows: Honorary President, Hon. Thomas Ballantyne til.P.P.; President, Dr. Wood; first Vice!President, Mr. William Ryan; second Vice -President, Mr. John Hagerty; of Logan; Mr. W. Martyn, Secretary - Treasurer; Executive Committee -Messrs. S. A. Hodge, Fred. Dufton and W. 1'. Kerr, of Mitchell, with th-e addition of three re- presentatives each from Logan, Hibbert and Fullerton. The club stoats out under the most auspicious circumstances, having a large membership, an energetic staff of officers, and imbued with an enthusiasm that betokens great results in the future. We are pleased to see this evidence of strength amoeg the Liberals of South Perth, and trust that; with their new organization, they will be able to give a good account of themselves when the next opportunity presents itself. This club and • the old Reform Association, have amalgamated forces, and, with these young and energetic men leading in the fray, the old warriors of South Perth need have no fear of repeating the mistake of a few months ago. We wish the new club every success, and hope to see its usefulness atill further increased, until its membership embraces every part of the riding. Varna. GOOD FARMER.% -The Varna correspond- ent of the Clinton New Ers has the follow- ing: " One of your Clinton business men being in leer village the other day, expressed his pleasure with the general appearance of the farms around here, especially those own- ed by Mr. Thomas Ward, who has over 300 acres right close to the village. The ac- cumulation of such a fine property and the way it is kept, reflects credit on the owner, who justly takes pride in his fine crops, alas his large vegetable garden, which would be a credit to any of the progressive gardeners of Clinton." Now, this is very good so far as it goes, but it does not go far enough. Mention should also have been made of Mrs. Ward and her daughter, who have the beet flower garden around these parts, and it contains many rare specimens and is a credit to the industry and taste of these ladies. It is all very well to praise Tom because he deserves it, but the female members of the firm are even more deserving of praise than he is. -Com.

A BIG FAILURE Our May Sale has been a Big Failure. We made the greatest pte- parations we ever made for any sale, and expected the greatest rush. But the rush did not come, and the goods are left on our hands. Rain, rain, rain, and cold weather nearly all the month, was the cause. There was no need for Nice Fine Shoes in such weather. People could not wear them if they had them. So our immense stocks of FINE SHOES still on our shelves. We have got to make up for it in June. We have got to not only do the ordinary ju'ne trade, but to make up the shortage on our May sales. We were the losers, but you can now be the winners. The nature of our business requires a certain turn- over every month. During the month of June, it will be a matter of getting money, not making money. Please to take notice, therefore, that we will continue the sale through June, and that the goods have got to go. We make it a rule to avoid carrying goods over from one season to another. It will take special efforts • to carry this out this season. But if the greatest bargains ever given will accomplish it, we will succeed. Do you want fine BOOTS AND SHOES, HATS OR CAPS, GRO- CERIES, CHINA OR GLASS- WARE, TRUNKS OR VALISES. Come and see us. We promise you the best variety and lowest prices we have ever given you.

British Grain Trade. The Mark Lane Express of the 21st inst., in its vieekly review of the British grain trade, says: The recent showers have not been sufficient to counteract the effects of the drought that prevailed in May. It is expected that the British wheat crop this year will be 1,000,000 quarters under that of 1891. Barley promises well. A good j yield of oats depends upon the raia fall, The continued decline in the pric s of English wheats vvill, unless checked, make the average price under 303. Foreign has fallen is on unexpected crop prospects in America. Californian sold at 35s 6d, Bar- ley has declined 6d. American oats are 3d cheaper. Rye has fallen 23 since June 1. Beans and peas are cheaper. At torday's market English wheats fell 6d. American spring and winter and Californian eaula de- clined is. Flour fell 6d. Barley was dull. NECKW EAR SALE.
