Walker, Sons & Com- pany, of Walkerville, harvested ninety- six acres of tobacco this season on their lands in the county of Essex. The yield was 85 tons, and it has all been sold. The Joliet Canadian Tobacco Company again purchased the larger portion of this year's crop, we believe, at 12 cents per pound. The toba000 has been stored in the ware- houses for curing, and will be shipped sometime in January or February. Ninety- five acres of land produced 85 tons of to- bacco, or 170,000 pounds whieh at 12 cents per pound makes $20,40d. —A careful estimate places the amount of money withdrawn from Woodstock banks by World'.

My neighbor was a 11idder, an' she hod a run down farm, An' her cows an' pigs, an' ohiokens, done a mighty lot e' harm To my fields adjinin''an I stood In quite a while, Till I wouldn't be imposed On in no Bich khad o' So I losotkyeled, my very maddest es I walked up to her door, Till she looked up at me emilin' while a-washin' up the floor, An' her cheeks was rei es roses an' her hair es black es night •, I forget to scold an' sass her fer she seemed eo sweet - an' bright. But my hand was to the plow now, an' it wouldn't never do To forgit them deperdatioes jos' by lookin' at her ehoe, So I gathered up my anger an' I said, Now, Mrs. my neBrtonwn 'Put out her eyes' light and the lashee they fell down. But I ain't no man for foolin', an' I went right on to say How her pigs et all my melons an' her cows et tons of hay ; How her chickens se1retched my corn out, an' I wouldn't hey it so, Gittin' harder all the time, like a adman will, you know. Then the widder, she looked up, with a tear drop on An' a shoemr acthheienk 'in her throat that wouldn't let her speak. But she sobbed an'. cried out in a kind o' teary That sth°enhea, el no one to help her, an' was poor an' all alone. • An' my hand was off the plow then, and a-reachini out for hern, I hed learnt a suddent lesson that I never thought I'd learn. Well, my scoldins. was a failure, seen' what I thought to do, For her pigs an' cows are all here, an' the widder's with 'eni, too. -.:tohool Reports.

"You ought to know," answered Mrs. Jones : " what are you oing with it, any- way ?" -‘ I'm writing to Uncle Hiram about his bad luck with his eheep, and that's as good a word to spring en him as any other. Look in the dictionary and see if it is spelled with one m or two." " Maybe it isn't in the dictionary," sug- gested Mrs. Jones, as she reached for the volume; "you know there are 5,000 new words that ain't in it." " Well, I reckon there's as ,many there as we will want te teekle in bur life time. I wish you'd go ahead and find the word calamity. " Row does it begin—with a vot'vel or a syllable ?" asked Mrs. Jones, who is as weak In her spelling as Jones is in his. "18 begins with a k, of course—K•a-l-a- m-i-t-t-y—I am mire of the two t's, but I've kind of stuck on the m's. Uncle Hiram is away up in spelling, and I'd hate awfully to be wrong." "1 can't find any such word, and I don't believe it's' in the dictionary." "Look under the k's. You'll find it among the loa-Ps." Mrs. Jones looked and hunted, then she said, triumphantly : "I told you so. There isn't such a word here. Take some other word that means the same thing." "But I can't think of one." "I can, How would catastrophe do ?" " But this isn't anything about eats ; it's concerning sheep." " I'll look it up. Is it spelled with a o or a k, Jeptha ?" "Whoever heard of cat being spelled with a)li ? Maria, I'm ashamed of your ig- norance, I really am." But kitten is lapelled with a k, and it's alittle cat. Why, Jeptha, here's calamity among the o's," " Give it to me," roared Jeptha. "1 always told you this book was full of mis- takes.Hum ! It's there, and I s'pose it's the new-fangled way. I've spelled it with a k all my life and I ain't going to be made over now, sheep or no sheep ;" and he tore' Uncle Hiram's letter into fragments, while Maria laughed softly in her sleeve. , —Mr. Michael Ryan, of Tralee, has sold his farm of 100 acres to Mr. James O'Grady, for the sum of $3,750. 1111111MW UN -NERVED, TIRED People and invalids will flnd in CMIPBELL'S QUININE WINE A pleasant restorative and appetizer.
