DEAR EXPOSITOR, -I see by one of your late papers that Mr. Tarte has been clearing out the corruptionists at Ottawa, and with that I fully agree, and hope, Sir, that when you go to Toronto you will endeavor to do likewise in the Ontario House, and when you get through there, 1/4turn your attention to Algoma and purge b of these Govern- ment blood -suckers. I hope you will par- don me for giving you such a large under- taking, but it seems to me to be necessary. • Mr. Editor, I understood when the Hon. Mr. Laurier go e into power that the land - was to Bow with milk and honey, but so far we have had neither the milk nor honey, and have came to the conclusion that they must have consumed it all at Ottawa. Now Sir, I will give you a short account of our municipal election. Mr. Robert Murray, late of Tuckersmith, was elected reeve, and Mr. Peter Moore put up his sail, and sailed right into harbor as a councillor, also Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Stewart. Mr. Grainger followed suit so closely that we were nearly having five councillors, the lat- ter being only one vote behind. It was a very closely contested election, it being hard to decide which candidate should be elected, as they are all good men. Times have been verydlull here, but the prospect seems to be brighter, as the -iron mines, within three miles of hers, have been bought up, and work .will be commenced immedi- ately to =develop them. We had. a tea. meeting in the Methodist church here on New Year's eve, and it was a success. We have had a very remarkable winter. The ground is bare, and some are talking of plowing. We have not had any sleighing Worth speaking of so far this winter. There was a very heavy rain fall, lasting about three dat s, causing a great flood. It start- ed to rain on Friday evening, and rained steadily till Monday noon. The water rose in Bar -River two feet above high water mark, causing several washouts. One was on the Soo branch of theCa,nadianPacifie Railway at the railway bridge, four miles from here, which caused an accident to a freight train. The approach to the bridge gave way, derailing nine or ten cars loaded with flour and grain, and piling them up in a promiscuous heap. Some of them are in the Heel'. Most of the cars are a complete wreck, but we are happy to say there were no lives lost, nor any one injured. I will not try your patience any further at the present time. Hoping you. will give this space, I am yours, etc., CHARLES GRAINCER. • The Forests of Siberia. From an important work on the forests of Russia, recently treoslated into English, the following interesting facts are reproduced. The composition of the Siberian Forest is, interesting, as bearing on the futtiie timber supply of the world, and as showing for eortain classes of timber, like oak, ah and the best building material, The vast forest resources of Siberia are unequally distributed over its enormous territory. The great forests are situated in the north, while the south is nearly treeless. The whole region may be divided into three zones, each distinguished by charac- teristic features and situated in a direction from east to west. The zone of what is here called "north- ern tall -stemmed woodlands," stretches un- interriiptedly from the Ural Mountains to the eastern shores of Kamschatka ; on tke north it borders on the trundas, the limit of the growth of the larger vegetation, and on the south it extends to the region suitable for agdculture. It is interrupted by large masses of impassable bogs, and is composed of pines, larches and firs. The deciduous trees are few and insignificant, although willows and aspens border the swamps end birtches occur in places. This northern forest oceupies all that part of Siberia, where agriculture is impossible from the de- ficient quantity of heat during the months of vegetable activity. The fixed population is insignificant, and the raising of graih sporadic in small spots on its southern border. There are locali- ties, we -are told, in this great forest belt, "where for tens and hundreds of versts in every direction stand clean plantations of pipe, which, with their interlaced summits, hide the sky. The absolutely naked trunks, rising perfectly straight to an enormous height, and so monotonous that a man who once chances into such it part of the Siberian tia,ga, or even a wild beast, cannot find his way out again. Access to such places is difficult and the thnber contained in them is so far without value, hut with the growth of the papula - tin, the improvement of roads and the de- struction of the forests in the inhabited parts, means will be found to make use of the now remote forest resources. The scourge of the forests of this zone at the present time is the forest fires, °not infrequently devastating hundreds of versts. The burned timber is, however, rapidly re- placed by young underwood growing up under the influence of natural selection. mountain forests, guarding aa -hey do -the sources of swift • flowing streams, are ex- tremely important in the economies of the country. During the last thirty years the Govern- ment of Russia has been paying some an tention to the care of the forests of Western Siberia. In 1863, *in the Governments of Tomsk and Tobelsk, temporary regulations were introduled, establishing a tax eer stump for the use of wood. Preservation of the forest was imposed mien the rural population, who, in return were allowed to make a free nee for their own needs, but not for sale. 1,n 1869 a law was promulgated granting to a corporation the unlimited right ofi making use of Siberian timber for industrial purposes. Since 1884 the forests of West- ern Siberia have been pleced upon the same - footing as that by which' the crown forests of European Russia are managed, that is,by a paid forest guard. In Eaetern Siberia the inhabitants are still allowed free use of the forests for their needs, and there is as yet no forest control. In the Amur country, where the forests are believed • to be extraordinarily varied and valuable, steps have recently been taken to- ward ascertaming the extent of the crown forests and for bringing them under State control, Wooden Spoons. In the district,of Semenovsk, in Russia, where wooden Spoons chiefly come from, about 7,000 men make a living at the trade. The spoons are generally made from bireh wood, and a skilful workman can turn out several hundred a day. No fewer than 12,000,000 epoons are manufactured in the course Of the year, which are sold at six to eight rubles per thousand. • Gaieties. -Old Gent-" Don't you know me, Willie? I am your father's uncle." Willie-" Are you the man pa goes to,when he's short of money ?" -The Wife-" John, you're intoxicated. How did you find your way home?" The Husband-" Darling, your bright eyes would light me home 'f I were twish 's full's a,m now." Hush -a -bye, baby, lie still with thy daddy: Thy mammy has gone to the club; play herself broke, and call it a joke, While daddy must stay home and scrub. -Lady (in a crowded car)-" Thank you, sir; but I don't like to deprive you of your comfortable seat. Irishman (who had risen to offer a seat)-" Be the powers, ma'am, it was comfortable no longer when Oi saw. you standin" -"Do you believe that we oan telegraph to the spirit land?" "Yes, indeed, I had a despatch 3...from Bob Badger yesterday." "How did you know it was from Bob ?" "I had to pay the charges." "1 presume you carry a Memento of some sort in that loeket of yours ?" "Precisely. It is ii. lock of my husband's hair." " But your husband is still alive ?" "Yes, sir ; but his:hair is ell gone." . -During the war old-Rastus was asked by a Federal soldier why he was not out -fighting for his rights. After pondering for a mornent,.he replied --"Did you ebber see two dogs a, fightin' over a Irene, sah ?" "Yes, oh yes r' "Did you ever see de bone fight?" -Harbormaster, to an old salt-" Do you belong to the smack ?" " Na, na, sir." "Eh, what's that you say? If I am not mistaken you are Duncan M'Tavishi master and own- er ?" "Hoch, ay, sir." d And you don't belong to the smack ?" "Py no means What- effer, sir; ta smack pelongs to me." Dun- can goes off hooeh-hooching to regale himself with his well-earned dram. -An aged New York clergyman was go- ing to Brooklyn one Sunday morning to preach. When he reached the pier the ferry boat was four or five feet away. In his anxiety he flung his umbrella aboard, then hie satchel, and finally made a tremen- dous leap himself. But the man who caught him surprised him by shouting-" You old idiot, this boat isn't going out -it's coming in!" • News Notes. -During the past year 18,393 volumes. were -taken from the Ingersoll library. -Mr. Thomas A. Rodgers,. of Toronto, the Y. M. C.

Mr. Gundy, of Windsor, is con- ducting a crusade against dancing and card playing, as exemplified in Windsor's social circles. -The other day a stack of straw belong- ing to Mr. Lewis Bond, of Burford, fell, and several of his cattle were buried. One cow was suffocated, and a heifer was some hours before being extricated, yet When found ran off into the field uninjured. -Mr. Messner, the bankrupt Formosa merchant, has been in Toronto, interviewing, his creditors, and making an effort to have the assignee of his estate chaeged with a view to being allowed to continue the busi- ness. Some of- these ,are said not to be averse to the idea, believing the estate can be made to yield more in that way than in any other. -A week ago Saturday, Austin the little 19:months' old son of Mr. and Austin, J. W. Boyd of Ridgeway, climbed up and got a common leadpencil to play with. He fell on it in such a way that it pierced the flesh just below the eye. It did not at first seem to be anything serious, as he played about the house all the afternoon. At night it com- menced swelling so that both eyes were closed for several days, finally erysipelas and blood poisoning set in, terminating fatally. The zone of birch forest covers the whole. of the low-lying.or so-called steppe portion of Siberia. This zone is occupied by a ,set- tled population, and practically coincides with the cultivated or agricultural part of Siberia. The principal and only valuable tree in this region is the birch, with a slight admixture of aspens and willows along the banks of rivers. Coniferous trees are en- tirely absent. The birch thrives on a cher- nozion soil, and therefore this zone is the most populated and particularly character- istic of Western Siberia, between the mid- dle course of the Tobol and theupper waters of the Obi. This region embraces the so - celled steppes of Ishimsk, Barabinsk and. Kurudzhinsk. The forests of the south are confined to the mountain ,slopes of the ranges which ex- tend in an almost uninterrupted chain, un- der various names'from one end of Siberia to the other.

All the family remedies suggested, such as Milk-- Net:ea Tea, Pumpkin Seed Tea, Mullein Leaf Tea-, Spanish Onion Tea, SWeet Nitre and Buchu, etc., were faithfully tried but gave not the slightest relief, so thet I had lost all hope, when I was per- suaded to try Doan's Kidney -Pills, to- gether with -Laxa Liver Pills. Tomy surprise I received almost immediate re- lief. 0 At this time" I was unable to lie down and for three and. a hidf months previously was forced to sleep in a chair. Mydwaist measure was then 49 inches; it is now 33 iriches since the wonderful cure made by these pills. I consider myself perfectly ured and feel strong and well. My weight When I was 'attacked was 108 pounds. After the operations I was rechiceil to 130. weiglenow NO. By carefullY watching the action of Doan's Pills snd Laxa Liver Pills I am positive that to them alone is due the wonderful cUre .which has taken place in my case. I ern a printer by trade and have held positions in the offices of The G obe, Mail, Methodist Book Boom, etc., as* well as in Ohio and Detroit, Mich., and have been an empleiying printer sin4e 3877. Although may seem increflible, every' wurd I have stated is the truth, and I am prepared to back it by the evidence of hundreds of citizens and friends who knew me before I was sick and afterwards, while I was near death's door, and who now, to their surprise, see me restored to complete health by the use of Doan's Kid- ney Pills, assisted by Laxa Liver Pills, I shall be glad to answer inqUirie's from sufferers from kidney or liver troubles at any time, and refer to the following gen- tlemen who have knowledge of the facts, and can verify every word I say. Many of these gentlemen kneW ma before my sickness, during my terrible! sufferings, and since I. was restored to health.
