The following is part of a letter from a farmer, that appears in the Montreal Witness:—It is well worthy of perused, because it incidenatlly men- tions a fact that has been apparent to most of those who took an active part in the late campaign, viz:—that the farmers, as a class, are thoroughly sick of the opportunities presented manufacturers for combination, under the present tariff, and are desirous of .i,,haf change which will give them the best return for their labor. The ex- tract reads:– It will prove just as well, in the long run, that the protectionist party have secured a'majority in Parliament, and only right and proper that some of us farmers should suffer a while longer for the votes given, that we should have a little more biter experience in this tariff business -before it closes, for, you know, itis best to convince the people thoroughly of the trouble it is capable of making us, so that our children • shall not be annoyed by the thoughts of of the history we are nowismaking repeat- ing itself. Ilam a descendantlof United Empire Loyalist great grandparents, who suffered severely—some of them almost cruelly—for their loyalty and fidelity to the dear old land in times gone by, and let me tell you that some feeling of attachment to it, which they felt, has been well transmitted to my- self and their descendants, one and all, who have remained in the country, but all the same I think we can afford to pause and wonder a little, now that the election is past, at the nnmber of people who were fooled by the loyalty. cry. Just imagine for a moment what kiiid of disloyalty would naturally be icouraged by relieving us farmers of ane of the burdens that now oppress Why the loyalty that is not strong nugh to break through the high tariff nee that has been erected against the mother 'country they profess to love and respect so much, is too weak for me altogether. It is not of the kind my fathers believed in, and acted up to. There is this deduction to be made and I think it fairly so too, from the result; the combines will not be able to work another election again so successfully, no matter how hard they may try. The developments among the farmers have proved an eye and ear 'opener, and the impressions will neither be soon forgotten nor wiped out. Neither the loyalty cry n r their money will, save them for all time to come, and their friends had tier tell them to get their houses in or er before they have to face anothe' trial of strength. I do not like to rite such i things, but my heart sicke s and my courage almost fails me when I see the goodly acres my fathers worked so faithfully, to clear and hand down un - mortgaged to me, depreciating in value every year, an$ .my children absolutely refnsing the land and occupation of their ancestors, preferring to quit the country. The town council of Whitby has passed a resolution to petition the Do- minion Parliament for two -cent letter postage, and is asking the assistance of other municipalities to help in securing parliamentary sanction. • — u Some of the members of the Torout Ministerial Association, are down hard upon "church entertainments." It frequently happens there is plenty of room for censure in this respect, but do these ministers condemn church enter- tainments when it affects their own churches? Or is it the entertainments in some other church that is pirticul- •arly [improper? It is easier to ask "what is a proper entertainment for churches" than to answer the question, Some people go so. far as to say that they are all unscriptural. NEWS NOTES An elopement with some novel and exciting features has just occurred at Alfreton. Prettys9nnie Gough, daugh- ter of the coachman of Judge Morewood at that plane, dressed herself in her brother's clothes, stole the Judge's horse, rode to the neighboring city of Nottingham and there joined her lover. The couple would doubtless have suc- ceeded in completing the plan thus far so well carried out had not the cupidity of the prospective bridegroom proved stronger than hit honesty or his dis- cretion. Ile attempted to sell the horse, and the delay thus incurred en- abled the emissaries of the angry father to overtake the fugitives. The girl was arrested and taken back home, but her lover managed to escape. The haircutter at the workhouse met a man there who had not had his hair cut for twenty years. Alonzo Freitzinri was sent up for 30 days by Judge Leslie for abusing his wife. At the hearing he was told to take off his cap. He exhibited suprise and fear, but at last began drawing up the greasy headgear. The removal of the cap displayed a ball of hair wrapped and twisted and held together by a dozen hairpins. '""""`•4.,,sei- - WI was six inches high and he • guarded it as though it was a treasure. An interpreter explained that the pris- oner was from southern Poland, where a superstition exists that if the hair be removed after the attainment of a certain age death will occur in l0 days. The interpreter drew from the man the fact that he was 38 years old, and that his; hair had rot been cn cut. sines he was 18. The shears made Short work of the growth, and Freitiinri is now awaiting hip death.

"Despise not the day of small things," as the tiny pill (taken from a vial of Dr Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets) said to the 300 pound man, suffering from indi- gestion. As a gentle, thorough laxative, these Pellets. resemble Nature more closely in their action than anything before dis- covered. Business and professional nren, whose habits are sedentary, need something of this kind to ward off sick headache, biliousness and dyspepsia, but which will not strain and rack tho digestive organs as did the old-fashioned pills. 25 cents per vial, at all druggists.

A madman attacked his little brother. with a knife, cutting off his head and otherwise mutilating him in the most terrible manner, He then proceeded to eat por- tions of the body and had devour- ed the fingers, liver, heart and eyes when discovered. In reply to questions why he had commit- ted the horrible deed the madman declared that his brother had died and that he was making an autopsy on the boy's body. A late London despatch to the N. Y. Sun says:—It is asserted that the best class of British em- igrants show an increasing dis- position to go to Canada in prefer- ence to the United Stales. The movement is due to the persistent propaganda carried on from the IIigh Commissioner's office in London, and in connection there- with to the admirable plan of sending to Canada every year a delegation of tenant farmers to see the country and r•epof•t upon its resources and capabilities. The various reports made by last year's delegates have been embod- ied int,apamphlet of which nolfewer than 600,000 have been. printed and are being circulated through- out the United Kingdom. It is thought the full effect of this missionary work will not be felt until next season, but every o-ipo concerned seotes confident that 1892 will witness a great boom in Canadan emigration from this country.

What can be more sad than a keen realization of what " might have been ?" Physicians' now admit thateon- s'tmption is simply scrofula in the blood attacking the lung -tiss- ues. It is never safe to allow the blood to remain impure, and it is especially reckless, when such a pleasant, harmless remedy as Dr 'ierco'sGolden Medical Discovery will drive every taint of scrofula or impurity from the system, causing a current of' healthy, re- juvenating blood to leap though the veins.

Everybody has beard about the dogs and donkeys of Oriental cit- ies, how the dogs roam about with- out owners and how the donkeys bear patiently their many bur - dent and get only scanty thanks in return. But all eastern streets abound in novel and faseinatipg sights—bright gowns, tiny shops, veiled women wearing wooden sandals, gaunt camels swaying along „with • rude bolls tinkling. i' rom the first the energetic ped- dlers are conspicuous. If tho travel- ler approaches tie Levant. by way of Constantin ple ho plunges at once into their vssaii haunts. The fi-rst,night in t''19s great, his- toric city will not be forgotten, or the howling of the hungry street dogs is .hardly silenced be- fore the coming of daylight brings out a multitude of these- noisy vendors, and then sleep is out of the question. Ono would think they were trying to arouse the people in the next street, to have them all ready for making pur- chases. Some arc shouting in Tur- kish and some in Greek, advertis- ing the excellence of. the good things that they have in the high baskets on their backs or on dim- inutive mouse -colored donkeys. «e look down from the hotel win- dow and watch them as they pass along: or stop for bargaining. There aro loads of tempting whito grapes, rosy poaches, and a pro- fusion of fresh vegetables evident- ly just in from the gardens along tho Bosphorus, or those bordering the Sweet Waters beyond the Gol- den Horn. In all the towns along the Asia Minor coast these scenes are repeated, with perhaps a trifle less noise. At Smyrna, in early autumn, the mina swarms with sellers of the luscious sugar mel- ons, and a little earlier all the ports of the Greek Archipelago echo with " Sweet, fresh figs?"— Frank Stiles Woodruff, in April St. Nicholas. Farmers living along Cherry Creek, above Denver, held an indignation meeting there onSaturday and exposed a startling state of affairs. The Denver Water Storage Company has just finish- ed a reservoir, 35 miles above the city, to supply water to an immense tract of heretofore arid land, of which it has secured control. The dam is 65 feet high and drains 300 square miles of country. The capacity of the reservoir is many millions of gallons, and the trend of the Cherry Creek1asin is such that if the dam gave way the whole of the enormous body of water would be precipitated upon a large part of the City of Denver, after tearing over the homes of hundreds of ranchmen. The farmers say there is now 40 feet of water over this dam and the pressure has already forced several streams through it. They say the dam is built upon quicksand instead of a bed of rock and that the material used is 40 poor that its erection was criminal. The company deny the charges and state they expended $450,000 in doing the work well. The question will pro- bably be brought before the courts at once. The reservoir is 6,000 feet above the city. CLARK'S LIGHTNING Liniment will relieve the painful tor- ture of rheumatism in the joints or muscles. It should be well rubbed in with the hand, and the part covered with a piooe of flannel.

The ivndscepa in parts is pretty; son-te finely situated estancias are to be seen along the banks of the Uru guay; the vicinity of Rio Negro, too, is especially interesting and characteristic of the fertile parts of the territory, which present a similar combination of water, wood, and rolling prairie. But, aftor all one soon wearies of look- ing at the same kind of view hour after hour, league after league, and province after province. The fences of posts and wire are varied sometimes by fences of aloes and cactus, the eucalyptus, the poplar and other trees are also planted to form fences as in Chili; the roads, where one sees long teams of oxen toiling along with huge waggons, are as terrible as those of the I Argentine; the prairies are dotted with innumerable herds of cattle and horses; occasionally you see two or three peasants wearing brown ponchos riding and driving animals before them; at long in- tervals you see ono or two ranch os, or huts, where the peasants live. In the Argentine the ranchos enough, appeared miserable u h but o in pUr•uguay I saw many even more primitive, mere huts of black mud, with a roof of maize straw, a floor of beaten earth, a doorway, but not always a wind- ow. The cabins of the Irish peasantry give some idea of an Uruguayan rancho. It is a comfortless, unhealthy and rheumatic dwelling, less civilized than the Esquimaux, and more carelessly built than the motes ordinary bird's nest.—From"The Republic of Uruguay,"by THEOD- ORE CHILD, in Harper's Magazine for May.

She was 65 years of ago, and since her father's death, twenty years ago, had been living out as a maid of all work, for a long time having been 'employed by a family named Bennett. For years MissSchutt's relatives had been puzzled to know what shodid with her money. She liv- ed like a perverse old maid and indulged in no luxuries or frivoli- ties. Three days after her funer al two of the young women of the house concluded to clean up th room occupied by Miss Schuh Her wardrobe was not extensive but the accumulation of odd knick knacks for years was quite bulky. Several articles of wearing apparel were consigned to the fire. Sud- denly Miss Jennie Bennett unearthed a largo well. made heavy bustle of ticking. For years it had adorned the person of the departed. With the remark, "Well, hero it goes; Jennio threw it into the flames. Taking a sec- ond thought she pulled it out again "It seemed awful heavy for a bustle,"said, she. "Lets >aip it open." When turning it over to insert the scissors a piece of green paper was seen sticking out of a hole in the scam. Tho green paper was a bright $20 bill. The busilo. was ripped open. There lay tens, twenties, fifties, from the new crisp issues of the present day to those of a score of years ago. Nestling in a bed of greenbacks wore shining gold eagles and double eagles and small silver coin, mne thousand dollars is what was netted. Children Cry for. Pitcher's Castoria.

It recommends itself, for people no soon- er see it than they are able at once to appreciate it. I sod ti this season within 30days Robt Beatty, of Orangeville, writing' to the Company says:—"In summing up my waggon sales for the last six years, 1 find I have sold over 400 Chatham Waggons, and in all that number I have not heard of one break or one loose tire. I, therefore, must congratulate you on building the best waggon in Canada." It is said by some waggon makers that they have spent a long life in the business, and that, therefore theirs is the better waggon. If this be so, how is it that this company, who only commenced making waggons seven years ago, are now making and selling more waggons than the whole or them put together? Simply because the public appreciate the fact that undoubtedly they make the best waggon in the Dominion to -day ; and hereby invite anyone or all those waggon makers who make this claim for their waggons to a test of waggons for ease of running and carrying capacity against the Chatham Waggon for $100. I am also agent for the Oshawa Noiseless Gear Buggy, an article that sells at eight. Also the Daisy Hill Road Cart, claimed to be the best cart in Canada, and also carts of other well-known makers. I am still handling the°Champion Sylvester Plow, and also keep in stock the Scotch Diantond Harrow. All the above are offered to the people at prices to suit the times. HORSE SHOEING.—Last summer I inventec the II eart,TrottingShoe for increasing speed in horses and made sets for the following well-known horsemen: 1 Bossenberry, Hensel]; Livingston, Blyth; Roe, Wingham Barnes, Brantford ; Fitzsimmons, St. Marys ; Beattie Bros., Brussels, and othe;s.

Parties may rely upon finding me at the shop at any hour of the day, as I am determined to give close personal attention to all work entrusted to me. THOS TIPLING, ONTARIO ST., CLINTON.
