AN ODD VISITOR. — This section was lately visited by aspeddler of 'small wares whois somewhat remarkable from the fact that he was born and brought up in the ancient and historical city of Jerusalem,near which he lived until about a year ago. He informed your correspondent with whom he spent a- night, that he was .often in Bethelem and very frequently walked on Calvary's sacred mountain, besides a good deal of other interesting information in regard to that country. He is of Arabian pa,reotage and a zealous Roman Catholic, but can as yet speak very litCe English, doing a good -deal of his couversation by gestures. BRIEF23.--Another resident of the Lead - bury line has been honored by being elected councillor by a large majority. We refer to Mr. William McGavin.

One writer in THE EXPOSI- TOR intimate! that the jail is the proper place for those who have apent tha prime of their Iife in idleness, riotous living and dis- sipetion. I will not argue this point, e'en &emitting it to be correet Is the jail a proper place for the poor wife who may have been opposed to his actions from the very start, or is the jail a fitting place for those others who naturally look to him °for a living and who have beets made to suffer through circumstances over which they have not the !slightest control. Wit g THE Ex- stosseee's permission I will make a few re- marks in regar4 to the question at issue, sometime in the near future. tTHE ExPosi- TOR Will be very glad to hear from you and so will its readers.] Exeter.

OUR VILLuss.—A correspondent sends the folldwing description of this progressive village :e Henfryn is a small villi age n the township of Grey, east riding qf Huron, 10 miles from Listowel, 9 from the stirring vil- lage of Bruasels, 4 from Attwood, and 3a from Ethel, on the line of the south exten- d= of the Wellington, Grey .3E13rue* branch of the Grand Trunk railway. The places of bueiness are: Station, store, post office ex- press office, blacksmith shop, hotel, brick yard and cider Mill. The store, post office, express office and blacksmith shop are under the management of Mr. J. EL, Tlsompson, J, P. Fraser havingnhargeforthe smithy. There is 'an English churoh, Rev. Edwin Lee being pastor alsolib kethodisb church., in which 1 Ray, Mr. Watts expounda scriptural truths. Close to the village is the farm of Mr. • W. Bawteinhimer, an enterprisiag farmer and ()tittle dealer, who occupies over 400 aeres,of land, has large etabling acoommodation and feedsicattle and how quite extensively. The land is rather low and of a sandy loam, be- ing well adapted for greet and root growing, :and the day is not fir distant when this lad Of Her Majesty's dominion will hold its own with 'atiy , of Her much older settled comirlunities. One of the chief drawbacks is tbn inconvenience of schoohprivilegel, the school -being three miles away, thus cutting off thn smaller children from school oppor- tunities in the winter season. The ever winding Maitland river flows through the centrop of the village, not only affordinggood drainage but considerable boating and fish- ing amusement. There is also considerable bush land in close proximity, which affords a hunting ground for the local sports from adjoining towing and villages. esseammeemesses SEAFORTEI ROLLER MILLS. —All flour pro- duoed it these mills for local and exchange trade con- tains a proportion of one-third hard Manitoba wheat.

MONTREAL, January 10.—Trade in cattle was rather slow and prices had a downward tendency, the bestet animals selling at about 41stor lb, while some ofth more dry lean cows would not bring over 2c per lb. There were a large number of bulls offered here to- day and they sold at 2ec to 40 per lb, the latter price having been paid for a very fine young Shorthorn bull which weighed 1,700 lbs. There is an active do - mend for good calves and Mr. Bourasse bought the best one for $18 and he gave $10 for another; com- mon calvee sold et about $5 each. Mutton critters are not very plentiful and prices are firm, or about aec per lb for sheep and 410 for lambs. Fat hogs are scarce and pretty high priced, or about 010 per lb.

TORONTO, January 11.—Cattle—Best loads ' of butchers' cattle sold at Bic to 31c per lb ; common to good, at 3e to 31c and rough abn, thin cows, etc., at from 21c per lb up. A few small picked lots of from three to six fine heifers and steers changed hande at Roper lb, but this price was by no means a repre- sentative one. Only a few stockees and feeders were offered, but it did not require. many to fill the de- mand, as trade in this line is at present very quiet. The principal' transactions in cattle to -da,, jwere: One load of 24 butchers' Cattle, averaging 1,075 lbs, at 838 per head, and 85 luck on the deal ; one load, 23, averaging 1,125 lbe, at 838 per head, and $5 luck on the deal ; one load of 13 heifers, averaging 1,000 lbe1at $30 per head ; 9 steers, averaging 1,200 lbs, at 540per head ; 21 mixed heifers and steers, averag- ing 1,000 lbs, at 310 per lb ; 20, 1,025 lbs, at 3ec per Ib. Sheep and Lambs—Only a few over a hundred were offered, most of which were lambs. The de- mand was good and the tone of the market firm. Sheep and lambs were generally bunched in together; and sold at from $3,50 to $5 per head. Hogs—For the best straight fat hogs, weighed off car, .$6.40 per head was paid readily, and a good many more would hive found buyers at this figure had they been here. Store hogs sold at es to $6.20 and roughs at $6.25 to se: All kinds wanted and should the offerings con- tinue light higher prices still will probably result. • • British Cattle Markets. Messrs. John Swan & Son's weekly report says.: There were:about the same number of fat cattle in Edinburgh and Glasgow this as last week. The Eng- lish markets throughout are exceptionally bad, while the tneat markets here are glutted. Trade, therefore, has been worse at lower prices, with a dif- ficult finish. About 600 States cattle are reported to have made troll+ 68 3d to 66 6d per stone. The num- ber of sheep on offer has been rather smaller. In Edinburgh trade was as nearly as possible similar to the previous week, while in Glasgow, owing't_o_ghort- er supplies, prices were slightly better. There have been fairly large numbers of calves shown, but these were generally of inferior quality ; everything short of best made considerably less money. Pigs met a good, trade at previous prices. Small supplies of store stook, and generally of indifferent descriptions; these met a slow trade. Milela cows were more numerous, and 'sold at prices in favor of buyers. Best beef, 88 to 8s 3d; second- ary, 78 3d to 78 fed per stone. Beet mutton, 7ed to, Ved ; secondary, 7d ; inferior, 6ed to eld'per lb. • British Grain Trade. The Mark Lane Express, of January llth, in its weekly review of the British grain trade says English wheat has risen 5d in London, and le in several of the country markets. The sales have been even smaller than usual in midwinter.' For the first time in along period the demand has exceeded the supply. The stocks have thereby been reduced by 115,000 tire. A decrease in the shipments from America and an increase in the Continental demand for Indian wheat has helped the market, since New Year's day. The chief feature of the stocks ia the enormous increase in the supply of foreign flour. In January, 1892, the stock of such flour was 595,000 qrs. ,It is now 1,530,000 quarters. a Births.'
