A.1 day's journey' was a serious matter. We were still a nation of handwork- ers. The highways were dusty and popu- lous. No house contained a sewing ma- chine. The canvas -covered waggon was the ark of trade. The turnpike was still the great artery of trade. ,There was not a mower or harvester in existence. The land was lighted with candles after nightfall. Butter was unmarketable 100 miles from the dairy. The steam saw -mill had just begun to devout' the forest. The lord of 1,000 acres sat with his harvesters at dinner. The day began with the.dawn and not withithe train's arrival. The spinning -wheel and shuttle sounded in every farmer's house. He who counted bis possessions by the square mile kept open house for the wayfarer.

Mr Chas. Stark, of Stark & Jewell, Mitchell, left for pasta unknown on Monday. Mr Jewell has since made an assignment. The liabilities 'are about $1,700, and the assets in the neighborhood of $1,000. On Monday:Mr Aaron Buck,bostler at the Collison hotel, Mitchell, fell from the, stable loft to the floor. He was putting down hay for the horses, when he backed up too far and fell through the open hatch. He sustained a broken nose and a sprained wrist. Last week Mr John Balfour, of Hibbert, met with a heavy lose. His cattle were let out of the pasture field and driven along the road to water. When at the railway crossing the morning express from Goderich came along and killed four of his best steers. On Friday afternoon, Mir Bart Mitchell, of St. Marys, had the mis- fortune to fall from tbe roof of a build- ing on which he was working, and sustained some severe injuries,includ- ing the 'breaking of his collar bone and several ribs. He will be disabled for some time. On Saturday last, Mr O'Loane, P. M., of Stratford, received a telegram from the warden of Se penitentiary at Kingston, stating that Alexander Dougherty had committed suicide that day by hanging. Dougherty was, sentenced at the Stratford police'court some four months ago, to six years , for larceny His temper was most. irascible, and it appears he was in close confiement when he'committed the rash act, He was considered in police circles to be a dangerous character. A case of considerable interest to farmers and others came before St. Marys magistrates last week. Mr watson.of that town worked for, Mr tennett, of Blanshard, for several onths hist -spring without any agree- ent as to wages. He was tendered ev.enty-five cents per day,but refused o accept that amount, and subse- quently sued for one dollar..

'SLIPS OF THE TONGUE, Ministers of the Gospel sometimes, say things that they would give any- thing not to.have said, said,a city clergymen. I remember well hearing a„brother minister put'his.foot in it badly at a funeral several years ago. The widow of the'man who was being buried had lost three husbands, before, and the minister in the last few words spoken over the coffin,referritigratber unwisely to this facts said, 0 Lord, comfort and support this afflicted wo- man, who has been. bereaved so often before and who—here the divine paused, but did not collect his thoughts sufficiently to avoid conclud- ing his remarks with—may be be-, reeved so often again. 1 know a worse blunder than that being made by a layman, said a grey-haired deacon. This time it was at a wed- ding in a fashionable suburb of this city. 'The groom had. been married twice before, but managed to make an awful mems of matters when it came to !slitting the ring an. the bride's Band, as tile He Episcopal Church ser- vice requires shall be done. e dropped the ring and be, his nerve at the same time. At the bride's house afterwards some of the groom's friends chaffed him about his awk- waida•,ss and, within hearing of his newly -Houde wife, he replied, Oh, you have the laugh on me now, but I'll promise you P1l do better next time. —Pittsburg Dispatch. TWO RICH CATTLE QUEENS. The richest widow in Colorado was the wife of the late John W. Ilife,who was known some years ago as the cattle king of Colorado. Ilifr left about 100,000 bead of cattle, and it is said that his widow manages his es- tate as well 08 any business man could. She went to Colorado as a sewing machine agent, though slie came of a wealthy family, and could have remained home doing nothing, She there met rlifTand married him, and I doubt not the experience she obtained in connection with the sew- ing machine aids her in the manage- ment of her fortune. Speaking of cattle, there is a cattle queen in Texas, near Corpus Christi — Mrs Rogers—said to be worth $1,000,000, and who has many times as much, stock as Job had in his most prosper- ous days. Her husband is a preacher-, but Mrs Rogers manages the business. She sells the stock herself, buys all the supplies, and can ride a horse as well as any of the many cowboys sof appetite, procure at once a bottlo whom she leas in her employ.

In J864, the time of the Both" well oil excitement, Nelson Ross was invited by his brother to go to the village o.t Bothwell to assiet Mm in the boot' and shoe business. Excite- ment beim high prospects for busi- ness were good, and he- went. SO00, however, itis`1soo [-illediapf✓tiy,`itnd many a man watt left high "and dry with only a sand hill to realize upon. Napoleon Ross, Nelson's brother,was one of those who felt the change, but he did not despair. The frame build- ing, in which his stock was, and pro- bably his stock too, was inaltred. One day his brother said to him, pointing significantly to a pile of rubbish under the stairway, 'something might hap- pen shortly. You see that my wife and family are saved.' Nothing more was said, but Non guessed that arson was mean . night or two after the building wa burned down. He looked after the women and the children, and got $188 as his share of the insurance money. He knew nothing of the whole transac- tion, as his brother was manager and owner of the business. They all left; subsequently his brother died, and now, after twenty-three years, Nelson comes to Chatham.. to-,unbur-den-•hia- +. ind of itis sham-ih- the crime by con fessing. lie tells his story to a friend in Chatham, who tells the Chief of Police. He is arrested and on Sat- urday morning in the Police Court. pleads guilty before the Magistrate, making his statement as above. Not the least strange part of the story,saya the Planet, is the reason for his peculiar confession. He had been converted recently and joined the M. E. church. He had a brother an atheist, and he felt it is duty to con- fess his crime and show to the world the genuiness of his faith. It is his intention, after suffering the penalty of his china*, to return to New York State. Efforts have been made to dis- cover ulterior testimony of the facts -related by Ross. But evidence of the 'fire, or insurance company issuing the policy and paying the loss, is not _forthcoming. The Magistrate is of the opinion tl'iat he cannot convict on the simple confession of tbe pris- oner, who is now in jail. The pro• bability is that be will go jree,and his conscience will be satisfied at the same time. A SAD JOKE. She was the wife of a laboring man —a good woman whostruggled hard to keep her house neat and her child- ren well dreesed,but shelled a violent temper. It was Saturday, and the two little children, Ben and Alice, were ready for an excursion. Ben wore a white suit, which his mamma had made for him, and of which he was very proud. Just as Ben was leaving home the mother discovered a black spot ou the dazzling white suit. —' ' li'hat's that ' she asked sharply. ' Only a little dease spot, mamma— only a little dease spot.' 'I'll make grease spot ;gJltof you,', she exclaimed angrily,trying to strike him. Little Ben dedged,but ran his head against the sharp edge of the bureau. When she pickedslhim up he was un- conscious. The physician found the child delirious, and pronounced the case brain fever• It was quick in its work, and Ben was soon still and cold. In the earkened room sat the mother by the side of the litlte coffin. Alice stole in quietly, and tugged at her dress. ' Mamma,darling,is Bennie a dease spot now ?' ..obs, choking sobs, answered her. —The Epoch.'

The brutal drieer began whipping up his horses, giving the animals a fearful beating. People in the neighborhood congregated about the place and remonstrated with the driver, He paid no attentiou,but went on whipping his horses. Among the spectators was a young lady whose name. could not be ascertained. She threatened the man with arrest, and ended her stinging remarks with the words: •' You -are a brutal"man, and I wish you would fall and break your neck.' The lady bad no sooner uttered these words when the waggon upset and the driver was taken from under the lumber seriously and possibly fatally injured. He sustained a fracture of the shoulder blade and several internal injuries. The macs name is Harding and he is now being cared for at his home in the city. G1IVE THEM A CHANCE! That is to say, your lungs. Also your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machinery it is, Not only the larger air -passages but the thous- ands of little tubes and Cavities lead- ing from them. Wheu these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they do they cannot do well. Call it cough, 'croup, pneumonia, catarrh, consumption or any of the -family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of them. That is to take Boschee'a German Syrup, which any druggist will sell you et 75 cents a bottle. Even if everything else ht.s failed you, you may depend upon this for certain. The most powerful engine in the world is in the zinc mines at Frieden- avill Pr. It is fed by 113 boilera,and it is of 5,000 horse, power, while by doubling the number of•boilers double that force can be obtained. Each re- volution of its wheels throws. up enough water to fill agoodsized pond and it raises 17,500 gallons of water. For seven years it remained idle, but in March last it was again set in motion and has since been going day- and ayand night. It consumes 28 tons of coal a day and its ordinary speed is seven revolutions per minute though that number can be doublet. The fly whee's are 37 feet in diameter and weigh 40 tons each.
