Several correspondents give the low price of barley as the chief reason for the diaposaI of so muoh wheat during the fall and winter. The supply of oats is generally above the requirements,par- - ticularly in the West Midland counties.; but in the Lake Erie counties a great deal al this grain was fed during the winter, leaving small stores at the time of writing. It is a long time since so much hay was reported on hand in the spring. Ile every district an abundant saprly is reperted, and in some of the Western counties it is selling slowly at from $6 to $8 per ton. Fat cattle have nearly all been taken away by buyers, and most of the steok remaining are be- ing grazed for M:isti or June shipments. There appears to be less store cattle than usual. From some of the dairy counties in the West Midland counties com- plaints corrie of the injury to the cattle trade by the practice of killing off near- ly every calf in order that the supply of milk to cheese factories might not be in- terfered with. To such an extent is this carried on in some quarters that the dairies have to he recruited by young cows•from outside points. Molesworth. NOTES. —Our cheese factor St is in full blast again.—Seeding is nearly all done bere and farmers are preparing ' for planting their root crops. -:Misses Jennie and Ellen Stewart left here for Neepa- wee Manitoba, on We4needay on a visit to friends there.—A oliticaI meeting was held in the School House here on Mondty evening. It is needless to say we had the very -best of order and one of the most interesting Meetings ever held in Molesworth. GENERAL NOTES. —Businees in general has been very good in our village since the opening of spring.—Thenound of the hammer is heard both early and late, our blacksmiths each seeming to be doing a prosperous trade.—James Menzies, Jr., who had his foot crushed in a horse power near Ethel, came home to his father's on Sunday last. We hope Jim may soon be able to walk without a limp, though minus one of his toes.— Isaac Scott, who has been under the weather the greater part of the winter with inflammatory rheumatism, is able to be around again although very weak. Mr. Howe.is improving very slow. His speedy recovery is our worst wish. ANOTHER PIONEER. GONE. — MTS. Brown,Sr., mother of Ceuncillor Brown, of Grey, died on Friday morning, the 9th inst., at the house of her eon -in-law. having reached the ripe old age of four score years. For several years she has been failing in health, but about two months ago she slipped on the door step so injuring herself asIto be -thereafter un- able to walk. She possessed her mental facultiesto the last, having been able to. call upon the Members of the family by name a few minutes before she died. Many years ago she came with her hus- band and children from Lauder, Ber- wickshire, SOotland. Shortly after their arrival her husband - died near Caledonia. Several of her daughters married there. With the rest of the family she came here to what was then called the bush, being one of the pio- neers. For over twenty years she has lived with her youngest daughter, Mrs. Wm. Mitchell, where she died. She Was a consistent member of the i Presby- terian church, and lived respected and died regretted by all who knew her. Her funeral on Saturday was largely at- tended considering the season of the year and the very wet day. Tuckersmith. WEST END Pie-NIC.—The West End Pic-nic to be held in Mr. Landaborough's grove on Saturday next promises to be a very pleasant affair. All that is now wanting to make it a splendid success is good weather. There will be entertain- ment provided for all. The programme will consist of a few short addresses, music, swinging, games, kn., and last but not least refreshments. Those attending will please bring their baskets. Let all come and have a real pleasant, social time. The grounds will be open at 11 o'clock. CouNous MEETING. --The council met at Brucefield on the lbth of May ; the members were all present. The chief business before the council was the let- ting of the jobs advertised. Tenders were offered for all the jobs, at rates a little in advance of last year's. Five of the jobs were held over for further ex- amination. The following changes were made in the list of ps.thmasters ; Wm. Kinsman instead of D. McGregor, Alex. McKay instead i of J. McTavish, Claus Kruse instead of J. Daly, Peter Mc- Laughlin instead of G. gtory, Albert Plewes instead of Robt. T. Elgie, W. G. 13roadfoot instead of 11. Crich ; John Robb, James Swann instead of D. Mc- Tavish. After voting relief to certain needy ones, the council adjourned to meet at Kyle's hotel on the 26th day of May at 10 o'clock a. m. as a Court of Revison, and for general business at 2 ,o'clock p. m. BOARD OF HEA'ITIL —The persone- ap- pointed members of the Board of Health, viz., Messrs. Jacob McGee, of Egmond- ville P.'0.; John Shepherd, of Chisel - burst P. 0.; D. McIntosh, V. S. Bruce - field, (who was subsequently taken away on urgent professional duty), together with the reeve and clerk, met at Bruce - field on the 15th inst. for organization, when Mr. McGee was elected chairman. S. Smillie acted as secretary. The secre- tary was instructed to publish the names of the members of the board, so that the public may know to whom to report any insanitary condition which may be found to exist-, and to whom to give the statu- tory notices. After some discussion on the duties and powers of the board, the meeting adjourned to meet again at the call of the chairman. Sushine. IkkLITICAL MEETING. —The political lnting held in the township hall, ris, on Thursday evening of last week, was one of the largest and most creditable meetings of the kind ever held in this neighborhood. The meet- ing was addressed by Mr. Gibson, the Veteran Reform Stancrlard Bearer for East Iluron and Ms opponent Mr. Mus- grove. Mr. Gibson opened the meeting by a stirring speech which was given in his usual firm and calm manner. He reviewed the administration of Mr. Mowat for the past eighteen years, and showed that the affairs of the Province have been economically managed by him and that the financial standing of the .Province at the present time is very sat- fa.ctory. He also spoke on_ the lead- ing topics, viz :—The French Language; the Separate Schools; the Parliament Buildings and .the School Books. He was followed by his opponent Mr. Mus- grove who is a fluent speaker and has a particular Unack of making the beat out of a weak cause and of creating sym- pathy for his political leaders, and had it not been for his condemnation of Mr. Gibson and the Mowat Government he would have met with the approval ef all. This is the only fault that can be found with Mr. Musgrove and that is what is going to tell against him on election day. BRIEF NOTES.—Mrs. Conery has again taken up her abode here.—John Chambers has removed his wife and family to the township of Hay, and Mr. Currie has moved into the house vacated by him. --Mr. Peter Cantelon is on the sick list at present.—Mr. John Hannah had his new barn raised last week. The work was done by Mr. Newsome on the new plan by the use of ropes and pul- leys •thus saving Mr. Hannah the trouble and expense of collecting suffi- cient help to do the raising.—Mr. Mal- colm Black, teacher in section No 3, Morris, had the honor of being .chair- man at the political meeting in the township hall on Thursday evening. Chiselhurst. . (From an occasional correspondent.) DOTS. —The Rev. Mr. Martin has been visiting the members and adherents of his congregation in this vicinity on Wednesday afternoons for a couple' of weeks back.—Miss Mary McEwen, of Exeter, and Miss Kate McEwen, of Hay, were visiting friends in the neigh- berhood of Glenquaich a couple of weeks ago. A SLIGHT MISTAKE. —We learn that a farmer, living about a Sabbath day's journey from here, who is well known for his frugal and industrious habits,had lately become So absorbed in his work that on a recent Sunday he forgot what day it was. Perhaps he had kept the Jewish Sabbath and imagined it was Monday. However, he got up early and loaded his wagon with bags, and was about to start for town when he was quietly told by a neighbor that it was the Sabbath. Lest the fit should catch him again, some bright Sunday.morning, we would advise him to get a calendar and also take a dose of "spring medi- cine" once a week, say Saturday night at bed -time, to purify his blood. A Boom IN ES—We notice that two store -keepers from some neighboring town have lately put a wagon each on the road. They are seen daily in this vicinity in quest of eggs. They. are both enterprising men, have both good horses, and as each seems determined to pay the highest price for eggs in cash or trade, we think it will be a neck and neck race. So great is the boom that we have been discussing the practicability of putting an extra hen or two on the force for a few weeks. THE SINGING CLASS. —The Fringing class here is being fairly Well attended, although it is difficult to get the young people to gather early enough. There are still one or two male voices that are down in the basement, so to speak, but time and patience will work wonders, and they may yet be able to warble like the birds in June. There are a number of very good voices and we notice a de- cided improvement, not only in the class but also in the congregational singing on Sunday. The Member for South Perth. The special Parliamentary correspond- ent of the St. John, New Brunswick, Globe, has this kindly reference to Mr. James Trow, M. P. for South Perth and Liberal whip of the Commons : " What man is there like the whip of our party, Mr. James Trow ? In Parliament since 1872, in the Ontario Legislature from: Confederation up to that time, he has had nearly a quarter of a century of ex- perience, and he can anticipate every possible wish of the members whom he 'whips.' Kind as it is possible for a man to be, placid as a lake which nes- tles among the hills, forgiving to the erring, patient with the impatient, quietly loving hisejoke, yet never perpe- trating one where it inight he ilhreceiv- ed, his genial face, his modest bearing, his well-worn party honors, have firmly established him in the affections of his party, and there is not a man of them who would not do for him as Raleigh did for his Queen if the necessity arose. Manifold are the functions of a 'whip'; the overbearing have to be awed, the modest and the bashful have to be quickened, the careless have to be -aroused, the forward • have to be re- pressed and justice done to everybody. With all his reeponsibility no man sleeps more soundly or smokes his -cigar more complacently than Trow. And why not? He has travelled over the great West, he has bathed in the waters of the Banff Park, he has a good conscience a comfortable living and \troops of friends. Long may you enjoy your honors, old man; and may you yet live to whip both sides of the House." - —The annual meeting of the Listowel Dairymen's Board of Trade, and the first cheese fair of the season were both held in Listowel on Thursday of last week. —Mr. John Hart, of Fullarton, who was seriously injured recently by fall- ing off a scaffold, and who was progres- sing favorably, has had a relapse. —Two car -loads of fineithorses were shipped from Mitchell last week. One by Mr. J. T. Hicks, for Montreal, the other by Mr. Enright, for Manitoba. —James Thom. a pupil at Mitchell public school, fell while pleying foot- ball, and broke his arm. • The arm was broken in the same place a month previously.

There was a pres- sure to sell by local factories, and the outside re- ports were of such a, nature that buyers held off. The market ,here was very quiet. Sellers did not care to hold and buyers were not anxious to take cheese at any price unless in full ac- cord with their views. As a result thet market was dull and lower.

Good to best American steers are ,ruit selling for more than 41- to 01 per pound, estimated dead weight, and the lat- ter price is only for a few prime lots.
