Only two British sovoreigns.have exceeded her age, viz., oba George II., who lived for 77 years, and ugh George III., who attained 82 years. It is estimated that the amount of Man - ate land under cereal crop this yeat in Man- itoba is one million three hundred and bly eleven thousand acres, of which nine hundred and sixteen thousand are in ell wheat. HePremier Greenway, of Manitoba, who SS j9 0n a visit to Montreal, states that when be left home orops were in splen- did condition and that the people of the as West were looking forward to a very Ps fine harvest. ge he At a meeting of the Detroit presby- tery on Monday Rev W. W. Carson, st the new pastor of the Jefferson avenue Presbyterian church. was received and il_ a committee appointed to arrange for m his installation at an early date. en During its recent session the Synod of Niagara offered prayer for rain twice every day. The ooantry needs moisture of badly enough. According to the officers as of the observatory at Toronto we bad le- almost an average fall of rain in April, i` but in May the fall amounted to only. he 6.49 inches, whereas the average for 50 years in that month has been 2.98. Up e_ to the evening of the 15th inst., the fall is for June was 1.28 inches, whereas the h average for the first fifteen days in June during the past 50 years was 1.50. In this district the repent rainfall has been less than around Toronto. The total fall since April 1 has been 2.72 inches below the average. Last Thursday a fatal accident hap- . pened David McCannel, marble dealer, ✓ of Walkerton. He left Kincardine about 11 o'clock to drive to his home in w Walkerton. Next morning his dead ✓ body was found lying in the Penetan- gore river. His horse was standing over h -in, while the buggy was smash- es ed. It appears that he dropped asleep and the horse wandered off the road. • The animal wandered a considerable distance along the bank of the river to the north-east corner of the high school • premises, when the buggy fell over the precipice, dragging the horse after it, a fall of over 50 ft. MoCannell must have been killed instantaneously, hav- ing fallen on,the stones , on the river side. The horse was uninjured. Mr IYIcCannell was highly respected, and his tragic death is lamented by all who knew him: A Chinamen named Ti at Bridgeford Cal., killed Poker Tom, an Indian, cut • the body up and piokled it in the most 'approved manner. Then he invited some Indians to a feast and served np . the remains of Tom, which the red men greatly relished. When the facts got abroad the Indians went in search of Ti's scalp, but the Chinaman pave him- self up to the authorities, and was ac- quitted on the . plea of self-defence. When Ti left the court the Indians got held of him and calved him in pieces, beginning with an ' arm and finishing with his head. There is great suffering from la grippe in, various parts of Nova Scotia, and the epidemic is very virulent in New. twfoundland. At Burin a small village on Placentia bay, 60 deaths are reported which is nearly 25 per cent of the pop - illation. Business has been at a standstill for three weeks. Doctors and clergy- men are being worked to death in their efforts to alleviate the sufferings of the victims. Whole crews of fishing ves- sels are prostrated and the fleet is idle. The Loss of the fishing season will ne- cessarily entail great sufferings on the people next winter. At Spanish Har - bor, in Con option Bay, there have been a great many oases, and the sailing of the Labrador fleet has been delayed because of the epidemic. Many deaths are reported from North River and other points along the coast. In St. John's 50 per cent. of the police force were incapacitated by the disease. A highly gratifying crop bulletin -has been issued by the agricultural depart- ment of the Manitoba Local Govern- ment, giving the condition of the crops and live stock up to June 1. The total acreage under crop this season, assum- ing that the area of flax is the same as last year, is 1,350,201, being an increase of 267,407 over last year. The average is as follows : wheat, 916„664 ; oats, 305, 644 ; barley, 84, 828 ; peas, 555 ; potato- es, 12,705 ; roots,e9201. There is'an in- crease of 170,707 acres in wheat alone, and oats and barley show a heavy in- crease, peas being the only produce in which there 'is a decrease. Potatoes show 9 large increase. The condition of live stook generally to Jane 1 was better than for some time past, owing largely to the very mild winter and to the abundanceof fodder, as well as the early date at which the grass became -sufficient for feeding. There are oom - paratively small quantities of wheat in the farmers' hands. The number of m hands employed is considerably er than last year, and there are places for several hundred more. Alto- gether'the Bulletin is encouraging, and the prospects of the harvest are very bright. The clergy of the Toronto Meth- odist Conference Tuesday morn— ing held another private session, to consider the ease of Rev James Thompson, charged with heresy. '1"hoti:psan was suspended for one year from active work,but retains bis rank as a minister. During the year financial provision will be made for him. ReV W. J. Ai'- kt ahead somewhat surprised the Conference by handing in his re- signation. He had been assigned td Port Carling, and refused to go there. • BORN. — HALSTED—In Lower Wingham, on the 4th inst., the wife of Mr David Halsted; a daughter.

TORONTO LIVE STOCK MARKET The market was a little easier, gener- ally, at the Western live stook exchange on Wednesday, receipts all round were lower but sufficient for the demaiad,and prices were well maintained,Thirty-five carloads came in,inclnding 90 ebeep and lanabe, 80 hogs and 75 calves. The re. oeipts for the week ending Saturday, June 18, were 2,061 cattle, 305 sheep and 967 bogs; weigh freight, $84 52. Cattle.—Business was slightly easier, and the offerings were rather more than wanted. Quotations were well held for good cattle, but second rate stock was off a little. Stallfed cattle for export bought good prices and found a fairly good demand. Grassers offered moder- ately at fair figures. There is some speculation that the market will im- prove in a few weeks. The general price range for good butchers cattle was from 4o to 5c per lb : poorer stook going at from 4}c to 4eo per lb. Shippers and stockers, both grassers and stall fed, averaged from 4fo to 59c per lb, about ec off from the highest of last Friday's figures. MONTREAL LIVE STOCK MARKET The live stock trade has been quiet during the week, the shipments running light, and no trade of importance in ex- port on spot is reported. The east end market to -day was considerably larger than Thursday's and the demand bet- ter. There were about 500 cattle and a large number of them were purchased for exportation. The next grade was in demand for butchers. There were 450.oalves on the market and over 500 sheep and lambs. The best cattle sold at from 5i to 5Ic. and what might be termed good cattle for butchers use brought from 5 to 5ec. The lower grades varied in price from 3 to 4}c per Ib. The best calves were in demand at from $8 to $12 each and the inferior ones, which are always slow of sale, were offered at $2 to $6 each. Sheep for exportation were bought at from $5 to $6 each and those for local consump- tion at from s'4 to $4.75. Good lambs are always in demand and sell well. Some sold as high as $5 each, and oth- ers at from $2.50 to $4.50. There were no hogs on the market, but there are about 500 fat ones stored in the abattoir adjoining it ready to be slaughtered to order. The price is from 5i; to 5 } c live weight, and when slaughtered for mar- ket use 7}c per ib. $745.00 FOR Al AXE.
