Among them were some extra good choice clippers. The city markets report a good trade at high prices. Sheep in good demand, particularly .those for export. About 460 butchers' -battle, 200 calves and .350 sheep and lambs offered at the East End abattoir. Trade was active and the 'best beeve's were held at firm rates. Several lots of the best sold at 41c, with good fat cows and fair conditioned steers at 3.c to 4ic. Many of the best calves and lambs were bought up before reaching the market. Calves from 83 to 88 each. Lambs from 82 to 85 Only choice lambs bring over 84:" Fat hogs higher, about 51c.

Cables from London report a moderate supply of Canadian live stock, with a fair amount of business at steady prices. ANCIENT ENGLISH. 7'o the Editor of the Clinton New Era. DEAR SIR,—Thinking it might be in- teresting to some of your readers, I will send you a piece of composition from a book in my possession, which is given "verbatum, et literatim." William Caxton, who first introduced printing into England, in a book pub- lished in 1490, speaking of the innova- tions of the English language, says : " When I had advised me in this sayd booke, I delyberated and conclud- ed to translate it .into Englyshe, and forthwyth I toke a pen and ynk, and wrote a leaf or twyne, which I ouer-, save agayn to corrects it ; and when I saw the fayr and straunge termes there- in, I doubted that it sholde please some "gentylmen which had late blamed me, saying ,that -in my translacyons I had over curyous termes therein which coude not be understande of comyn people, and desired me to use olds and homely termes is niy trtranslueyons,• and fayn would I satisfye every man ; and. so tp do, Coke an olde boke and redde therein, 'and certaynly,-the En ;lishe was sb rude and brood, that •I coude not wele under- stande it.. And also my Lord Abbot of R'estmydster ded So shewe to me cer- tain evydences wryten in old Englysshe for to reduce it into our Englisshe now used, and certaynly it -was wreton in such wyse, that it was more lyke Dtitche than Englyshe. I coude not reduce me bryne it to be understonden. And cer- taynly our language now used varyeth ferre from that which was used and spoken when I was born. For we Eng lishmen ben borne under the domyna- c 'on of the mono, which is never stead - f ste, but ever waverynge, wexyng one s sl c and waneth and discre rsetlt an- other � ) c f t other season ; and that comyu Englisshe that. is spoken In one sliyre varyeth from another. Certainly it is hard to i layse every roan bycanse of dyversite and chaunge of langage; for in these days every man that is in ony roputa- cyon in his countree will -utter his com- nninicacyon and matters in'such man- ors and termes, that fewe men shall understonde them andisom honest and g g reate clei•kea have been wyth ole and desired cue to wryte the rnoste euryous termes that I condo fine. And thus between playn, rude and curious I stand abashed. But in my judgnnattn the corny]; termes that be dayli used ben lighter to be understot)de than the olde anneyent Englissh." The Senate of the University of To- ronto has resolved to confer the degree of LL. D. on Sir John Macdonald, Ed- 4vard Blake, Chancellor Boyd, Olider Mowat, W. R. Meredith, 1)r. W. T. Aikins, Prof. John Campbell and John Hoskins, Q. C. This is the first time the university has exercised the power conferred upon it by the Federation Act of conferring honorary degrees of LL.D. Ou Wednesday all Romo was startled by a report that the Pope was dead. His holiness was found to bo in good' health. All the men employed in the Govern. ment Printing Bureau at Ottawa have been notified that their engagements will terminate on June 30, and it is, of course, understood that none but Conservatives will have their engage- ments renewed. If you haven't bought your ticket you can't go to Europe this season be- fore midsummer. • The transportation facilities are greater than ever before, but the craze for European travel beats anything over known. Tho same story is told at all the steamship offices. A few berths will bo surrendered by per• sons whose plans pliscarry, but practi- ally all the lines are booked to their full capacity up to about the middle of July. It has been long a question without an answer, "Where do donkeys go when when they die?" But now a matter of greater mystery claims attention. "What becomes of old pianos?" They aay that the old moons are tut up into stars; can it be so that the old pianos are raised into those tinkling horrors that infest our streets? Or are they, having the works taken out, turned into mangles or made onto book- cases, or turn.,up bedsteda? Every day thousands of brand new pianos are turned loose upon the public, from makers whose names ere legion. Enough, one would think, to supply each house with a "singing table" as the Indians call it, and still the supply "flows on forever", like the river in the ballad. There is a sort of counter. enrrent, to be sure, in the old pianos, taken in exchange as part payment for new ones.
