.Wilson's Cash Grocery.
Some haVe the idea that Sugars, Syrups tied Flour
are about the only articles / arn cutting the prioea
of, and selling other goods at old credit larices. Thie
is a great mistake, as I am not cutting the price of a
few lines to draw trade, but have lowered the prioe
of ali goods in -stock. to what I think they can be sold
at for cash or trade. I am not offering a bait on one
thing and trying to make it up on another but make
all goods stand their own share of profit. To find
out just what the difference it between credit and
cash pricer. call at the store and see goods and prices
or ask genie of your neighbors who are dealing with
us. You eau save money sure, The higheat price in
mat or trade paid for good butter, eggs, apples, tal-
low, lard, etc. Plenty of the same grade of flour in
stock and Obtl get all I want, price C.70 per 10) lbs.,
choice maple syrup SI per gallon, 25 cents per quart.

eard the death of Mre. John McNamara, of
Harpurhey, who- left here for Hamilton, a
few months ago, with the hope of herself
and family, that the change would prove
beneficial to her, whieh it finally did., but
unfortunately she met *with a painful aced -
dent about three weeks ago, by falling, and
breaking her hip horse, , from the effects of
which erre never rallied. The best medical
ekilleivas procured foe her, together with the
kind and loving care of her husband. and

by all the rites of the Catholic Church, of

Dakota, he says : " limes are pretty cluil
owing to the low price oi\ wheat, but I like
the country well. I hate had very good
ceops ever since I carhe here. I like the
winters here better than in Ontario ; they
are so dry, there is no fear of a person get-
ting his feet wet from November till March.
This has been a very fine winter ; there have
not been any storms yet. Our children go
to school every day, and they have to, go
three miles and a half and have not inieSed.

est is only eight years of age. There has,
been very little grip here this winter, and.

FROM Assfiernoie.-aMr. J. Diemin, an
old Huronitee now located near Abernethy,
Northwest Territory., writes on the Mid
uit„ as follows : I saw a letter in your
paper last summer, stating that the crops
were ruined along the Northwestern Rail-
wey, especially at Indian Head. Now, In-
dian Read is on the main line of the Can-
adian Pacific Railway, and the crops have
been , exceptionally good the past three
years. I threshed this year three thousand
bushels of wheat from one hundred and
twenty acres, forty acres being the second
crop and thirty acres the third crop since
plowing, and all grading No. I hard, and
brifiging 43 cents per bushel. I had the
pleasure of listenin,g to the Hon. Joseph
Martin, M. P., of Nh innipeg, on Tariff Re-
form. There was an audience of about 400,
and he was given an attentive hearing, and
had the sympathy of the meeting. Three
or four years ago, nothing but a Conserva-
tive orator tould draw a crowd in Assini-
boia. We have had a very fine winter and
good sleighing."

IYIemearchoee &TIMM—Our citizens were
deeply shocked, on Tuesday morning , last,
on hearing that Mr. Thomas Coventry, of
this town, had committed suicide by shoot-
ing himself with a revolver in his own store,
Mr. Coventry left his residence, as usual,
about half -past six, and went to his ehop.
When his man got to the shop shortly after
seven he found his employer dead on the
floor, with a revolver in his hand and a bule
let wound in his head. From the nature of
the wound and the position of the body, it
was evident the shot had been immediately
fatal. Prior to committing the rash act, he
wrote an affectionate farewell note each to
his wifee daughter and brother. For a year
or more Mr. Coventry had been a severe
sufferer from a nervous complaint, which
was supposed to be incurable. This was
greatly intensified by the accidental death
of his only son a few months ago. It is sup-
posed that his mental and physical suffering
had so unhinged his mind as to cause him to
commit the rash act, which resulted in his
death. Mr. Coventryewas one of the old-
est residents of the town, having been en-
gaged in the boot and shoe trade here for a
quarter of a century, By industry and
good management he succeded in amassing
a competency, and some years ago disposed
of his business with the view of enjoying the
rest of Isis days in the ease , that retirement
affords, but he was tempted to invest
largely in property in Winnipeg and Bran-
don during boom times, and although he
made some garid investments, he got most
of his money locked up in real estate there.
He again entered businees here and has
since been doing a. prosperous trade. He
always possessed the fullest confidence of
his customers, being honest and upright in
all his dealings. As a citizen he was much
and deservedly respected and his death
causes universal regret. He leaves a widow,
one daughter, and a brother who resided.
with him. To them, the sincerest sym-
athy that human hearts can bestow, will
extended by all, in this the dark hour of
their seyere bereavement. The remains
were laid to rest in Egmondville cemetery
on Thursday. He was 67 years of age.
A CORREGTION.—In oar report of the -
County Council, published last week, a
wrong inference might be drawn, in refer-
ence to the settlement arrived at between
the county and the Collegiate Institutes, for
the proportion due the latter by the former
for county ptipirs. The following are the
clauses of the Executive Committee's report
referring to the matter : "(9.) That no ac-
tion be tai'en on the application of Seaforth
and Clinton Collegiate Institutes for pay-
ment of alleged arrears due them. (10.) In
reference to applications from Goderich,
Clinton and Seaforth Collegiate Institute
Boards, for a proportionate cost of the
maintenance of county pupils attending the
respective Collegiate Institutes, Vic. 54.
cap. 57, sec. 31, and sub -secs., your commit-
tee, after a careful calculation,, have agreed
on the amounts that they are to be paid,
viz.: Goderich,$2,373 72 ; Clinton,$2,317 95;
Seaforth, $2,710 39, (less the fees received
by them from county pupils) provided the -
county auditors find that the respective
statements put in by the said T_ustitutes are
correct ; this settlement to hold good for
three years ; and that the said Institutes be
requested to agree te this, otherwise that
the matter be considered at the June ses-
sion." Clause 9 of this report was amended
by the following : " Moved by Holt and
Bissett, that clause 9 of the Executive Re-
port be struck out and the following substi-
tuted And that the claims of the Collegi-
ate Institutes of the &minty be referred to a
sub -committee consisting of Messrs. Proud -
foot, Eilber and MeEwen, to report at the
June session of this council—Carried."
Clause 10 of the report was adopted by the
council without amend.ment. Our report
makes it appear as if Mr. Holt's motion re-
ferred to both subjects, whereas it only re-
fers to the first, or the question of arrears.

THE HALL DIFFICULTY.—Mr. Thomas

the matter of the hall difficulty, as *ill be

to give the various societies interested the
use of the building providing they give him
simply a nominal rent so as to acknowledge
his ownership, as the hall is situated on his
land. It is a pity the matter could not be
