FRUIT. • I. regard to the f£uit the report Pays: "The frost has done some dam- age to trait. Grape vines have suffer- ..ecl quite extensively in the west. Mid- land, lake Huron and Georgian bay counties.. Peach trees were inured to some extent by frost, and "leaf curl" is reported by many. There is promise of only a fair crop. Apples are bolting well, and on the whole promise a good prop, especially east of Toronto. Pears are in good form. Plums and cherries are reported fair•. Small fruits give prospect of extra yield. Strawberries, on the whole, are reported as turning --out fairly well. The Essex,. Keit and and Niagara districts give, on the whole, very favorable reports as to fruit." FALL WHEAT. • "This crop has stood the heavy rain and changes of weather 'much better • than the spring crops. Throughout the entire province some low lands have been flooded and the crop drowned out. On very heavy clays there has been same damage, but on light and loamy soils very ,Little injury has resulted. The reports for this tune of the year are quite up to the average. The frost of the first week of June was felt to a very slight extent. The repot is from all parts of the province are practical- ' ly the same—that after the rain the wheat soon picked up and showed less injury than had been supposed. No more than usual has been ploughed up and resown to spring grain. Heading out was in progress on the 15th. Ili some places the growth Was quite rank. With favorable weather for the next three weeks a good crcp of -fall wheat may be looked for. • At ;present the conditions promise an average yield. In the lake Erie district the crop was fair to very gond, except on low lands and very heavy clay. Damage by frost was very slight. In the lake Huron district most of the reports are for a good crop. Some attention is given by correspondents to the benefits of drain- age which were very apparent during . the present season. Irl the Georgian bay counties a small fraction of the crop has been lost, but on the whole it is quite up to the average. In the west Midland group the best reports come from Wellingtpn and the worst from Middlesex, where, however, the crop is reported fair.. Along lake On- tario the • reports are favorable for a fair crop—fully up to the average. In the eastern counties ithe amount of fall wheat is too small to affect) the :total,. but reports are favorable. To sit up, the present condition is fair, s h prospects of a crop quite up to, not a little over, the average, with favorable weather." SPRING WHEAT. "As usual, there is but little spring wheat in the western part of the pro- vince, while in the eastern half tha acreage is declining. The low-lying lands have suffered severely, but the higher lands have fair crops. The Fain was sown in fine condition, and is now recovering rapidly from the extra rain. In many places correspon- dents state that the ram did more good than harm. In the eastern counties about one-third of the spring wheat is either destroyed or is in poor condi- . tion ; two-thirds maybe said to be fair to good. Less than usual has been sown in the northern districts. On the whole, present indications are for a crop about two-thirds of the aver- age. BARLEY. "In the lake Erie district only a mod- erate quantity has been sown, and the condition is tinder the average. It has suffered frons rain and also from frost. In the lake Huron district barley is not in so good a form as spring wheat; It is backward and a little yellow in pierces, but is new improving. In the Georgian bay district rain and frost did some injury, hut an improvement has taken place since warm weather retnrued. In the west Midland district 'the crop is reported as being uneven or patchy and backward. In the lake Ola tario district the condition is a little under the average. In the St. Law- rence and Ottawa district the condi- tion is reported as more favorable, and with good weather a fair crop will be obtained." In the east Midland dis- trict the crop is fair. In the northern district nothing of any consequence is reported. On the whole it may he concluded that the barley has suffered quite extensively, is backward in growth, but at present is making very rapid progress, and with a continuance ; of favorable weather will probably `l come up to nearly the average of the last two years." OATS, "The reports from every section of the province are practically the same and to the following effect: The rains drowned out the crop on low-lying fields. On higher lands and those under -drained little or no damage was done. At the time of reporting the crop was making a very rapid growth, .end becoming somewhat rank in straw. A few fields were baked by but,on thewhole,the hotaun the prospects were most promising, the only unfavorable report being as to the low lances. The crop in, on the whule, W more backward than usual. �. `nit present condition,c point to as yield fullup to the average' RYE. "There appears to be less and less of this crop sown every year. As far as reported upon it came through the winter in good condition, was favor- able affected by the continued rains, and now is in excellent condition, hay- - ' ing made a very heavy growth." , truing of the southern ensilage varieties. Many report the young crap as not looking very thrifty. From all parts of the province came reports of replant- ing, of late planting and slow growth. Prospects are for a crop a little under the average in quantity." BUCKwaIssaT. "Two-thirds of this crop is grown in the lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence and Ottawa groups. Very little bad been sown before the rains came on. At, the time of writing, farmers were 'just putting in their crops. The only report possible itt this time is that quite an extensive acreage will be grown- this rownthis year." BEANS. "Early planted beans, especially in gardens were cut off by late frosts. Most et the crop has been put in late. The acreage will, therefore, probably be below the average. While many report that the crop is now coming on well, the general opinion is that the early frosts and the lateness of plant - in' will cause. a diiniuishecl yield for this year. • TIMSOTHY. - "A small 'amount of timothy was winter -killed, but the principal damage has resulted from the cold wet weather of spring and' early summer. The reports from all counties are in agree- ment that we shall have a short hay crop this year. Old meadows are thin and backward ; new meadows aro only in a fair condition. The rapid growth now 'being made will not be sufficient to bring the crop up to the average. The prospects are for a crop about two- thirds that of 1893. •The crop is late—a month late in some sections. In some places it is heading out on short growth. There is no, need te differenti- ate cpnnties ,or districts, as all report, the same, namely, :l light crop. The heavy crop of hast year may be respon- sible in part for the light growth of this year." CLOVER. • "This crop has suffered more than timothy. Complaints of winter -killing are universal. The old fields are very patchy and uneven ; 'the new fields are coming on iu fair condition, A few report the crop as excellent, but the majority report a short •and uneven crop of red clover. Alsike, now in bloom, is showing up well. On the whole the clover crop prornises to be be- low the average. Damage by insects is reported from a few counties." ROOTtl AND POTATOES. "Early planted potatoes were much injured by frosts, and large quantities rotted on low hands, late planted potatoes are now coming on well. rhe "bug" is not more numerous than usual. 1 he season is not far enough advanced to report upon roots, as sow- ing is later thou usual." • BEES AND. HONEY. PEAS. "The continued rains did more dam- age to this crop than to the other spring sown crops. Early sown peas • have done well on high laird, but on low lands have suffered heavily. The rains retarded sowing so that a large acreage has been put in late. As a consequence the yield will be a little "Reports regarding; the condition of bees are variable. The loss during winter appears to been about the average where hives were left on the stands, but the mortality appears to have been greater than usual whets: the bees were wintered indoors." A Genuine Romance. IN WHIICH A CANADIAN LADY OFA WELL- KNOWN IAMXLY IS A PRINCIPAL C t IARACTER. If the person svho contends that the age of romance is over and gone in this fin de siecle period and latter day materialism, • and that the affairs of life are regulated on an entirely practical utilitarian basis, ]et him observe .carefully a year's incidents, and this even within the charmed circle of the Four Hundred, and he will modi- fy, if he does not entirely alter, his opinion. The marriage in Ottawa, Ont., or Mr. Hayter .Deed, one of the officials of the Canadian Government, and Mrs. Grosvenor P. Lowrey, of New York, had all the elements of romance any novelist could desire as material for a work.Of fiction. Seven- teen years ago, in the town of Cobourg, Ontario, Mr, Reed, then a young busi- ness roan, and Miss Kate Armour, eldest daughter of Judge Armour, met loved and becarne engaged. The course of their love, for a wonder, ran smooth- ly, and the match was favored by the families of both the young man and the young woman. The date was set for the wedding, the cards were out, when the young couple quarrelled,pact- ed, the cards were recalled and the wedding was abandoned. A few years passed, and Mr. Reed married a Can- adian lady, while Miss Armour became the second wife of the late Grosvenor P. Lowrey, the well-known and able lawyer of New York. Coming to New York to reside with her husband, her handsome presence, vivacity of manner and charming hospitality, as well as her thusband's assured position, soon won for her a host of friends. The third act in the melodralna was the death of Mrs. Reed about two years ago. The fourth was the death of Mr. Lowrey in May, 1803. Mrs. Lowrey re- turned to her girlhood's home at Cobourg to pass her period of mourn- ing. Last winter, while on a visit to Ottawa, she met her old lover, he a widower, she a widow. Time had softened, if not removed, the former and the old ri r between .twecn e e them, affection returned. A second court- ship followed. Mrs. Lowrey came on to the wedding of her step -daughter Miss Virginia Lowrey, to Mr. Frank Pennington Ball, in New York, last week, and, returning to Ottawa, was married to her first love on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. heed will reside perman- ently in Ottawa. And so ends this latter day American -Canadian ro- mance. Erastus, Wiu fu's Sentence: IIIi. DUX T KINXS IT WAR NOT AT ALL TNADT,iRTIATV.

Dull, of New York, was in 11lontreal last Thursday and when ask- ed bis opinion of the five years sen- tence passed upon his old partuer, Mr. Winton, he said: "I think that if it had not been for the recommendation to mercy made by the jury the sen- tence would have been wore severe. • I our not vindictive against Mr. Wiwap, but I am sure that Judge Ingraahatni, who is known as one of the most cap- able judges on the United States bench, would have imposed a heavier sentence had it, not been for that recommenda- tion. In my opinion, the sentenc3 was not at all inadequate." Asked if he was prepared to co-oper- ate in any attempt to procure a cont mutation of the sentence, Mt. Dia, saki that he did not think that any effort would be wade in that. direction, and •there was no reason why he should interfere. Mr. Dun was shown an interview in a New York paper, in which Mr. Wi- man is reported as saying that he (Wi- man) built up the business by securing agents who did the work for nothing "That is Mr. Wiman all over," stud Mr. Dun, emphatically. "The loan is eaten up with vanity, and that is one of his exaggerated statements. As a matter of fact, we pay our agents. Men do not work for nothing. Of course our trav,:lers through the coun- try make friends, and we get sonrecor- respondence in that way, but tha.tstate- ment about 100,000 agents working for nothing is just like 111r. Wiuran." "How does sir. \Vienan's estates stand in relation to the 8rin of Dun & Co.?" "When Mr. Douglas, my nephew," answered Mr. Dun, "showed me the criminal act of which Mr. Wiman heal been guilts-, of cotn'se he had to get out. I had forgiven him so many times before that I saw it was iinpossl- ble to continue any longer. Mr. Wi- man went to Mr. Farlinger, a well- known lawyer, who told hint there were two things he must do r First, he must assign all his property to the firm ; second, he must write a letter to me. This was done. He assigned his own and his wife's property to the firm. But then we had experts investi- gating the books, and soon many other rasealities were discovered besides those I had forgiven hitn and the one that led to his dismissal, and his affairs were so involved otherwise that I could not honorably take advantage of his assignment. The property was transferred back to him, and a general assignment made for the beniefit of alt his creditors. In -this last assignment Mrs. Wiman was allowed to retain her house, upon which, I believe; she had paid some money. That, I believe, isall that is left. I have very great sym- pathy and respect for Mrs. Wiman and her daughter, and among other regrets, that upon their account is not the least. However, I had to proceed against Mr. Winton to retain any posi- tion as a respectable business man, as well as in the interests of mankind generally. • He would not have been convicted if he had not been guilty, as the foreman of the jury was a particu- lar friend of his, and stated before the trial that he would have to he thor- oughly convinced cif •Mr. SViman's g•utlt before convicting. him." Mr. Dun stated that he was on his way, with Mrs. Dun, to his fishing limits, on the Cascapediaa, where both might ob- tain a needed rest, after the strain of the past few months. Rev. B. B. Swartzen� har, a native of Moscow,and ametnher of Livingstone's exploring party in Africa was arrest- ed at Oineinatti, Ohio, Wednesday on a charge of murder committed two years ago in Chattanooga. After being locked up he cut his throat. Fifty stonecutters at Victoria B.

'l6illlaru Cain May Die. TIE WAS SHOT BY EDWARD BOWERS, OF HIDDULI'H, AND IS LYING AT BOW- ERS' HOUSE—THE LATTER Alt - RESTED. Edward Bowers was taken to jail by Constable Frank Walden on Saturday evening, about 8 o'clock, °We, charge of shooting William Cain with intent to slay 'him. The prisoner is rather a fine looking man, about 55 years of age, and has a wife and family of seven children. He is a farmer, and is said to emne of as wealthy Irish family. Ile' has been living for the last ten years on a farm on the Roman Line, a little east of the Donnelly homestead, and bears a good reputation. The • farm which Mr. Bowers rented was owned by a Mr. Hobbins up to a short time ago, when the Huron & Erie Loan Society, of London, foreclosed a mortgage on it, and when it was sold Mr. Bowers bought it. His friends say that he never had a day's peace since he bought the place, but what the trouble arose about no one seems able to tell. On Friday evening Cain, the Ivan who was • shot, was up at Bowers' )le in company with someothers. place story sways they went to turn Bowers out, and another story is that their tweeting was friendly, and it was after they had been there for some little time that a row took place between Cain and Bowers. But it seems that Cain must have angered Bowers in some way, because he ran away out on the road, and as he rain Bowers followed him, and drawing a revolver fired the bullet, taking effect in Cain's spine, just below the waist line. Cain fell to the ground, and Bowers' after finding out that his shot had inflicted a dangerous wound, help- ed to carry Cain hack to his own house, and then went for a doctor and also notified Father Connelly, and then went and surrendered himself. Roth Cain and Bowers are Roman Catholics. Constable Walden took charge of the prisoner after he surrendered, and he was taken before Squires McCosh and Casey, who, after a brief hearing, re- manded him to jail till Thursday. Three doctors were called in to con- sider Chain's case, and it is said there ie very little hope of his recovery. The bullet penetrated his spine, and he is perfectly helpless. Owing to his weak state, it was deemed inadvisable to probe for the, bullet" Cain is still lying at Bowers' house. and it was deemed impossible to move him. Mr. U. E.

I T iy IS THE LIPS OF A COMMERCIAL MAN NOT ALL SUNSHINE. ,, • CONSTANT TRAVEL AND ROUGING IT ON TRAINS WEAKENS THE MOST ROBUST—THE uxesr IE;NCE OI' A HALI- FAX MERCHANT WHILE ON TUS ROAD. Acadian Recorder, Halif,x, N. 8. Mr. Percy J. A. Lear, junior partner of the firm of Bbackadar & Lear, lei.- erat brokers, 60 Bedford Row. Halifax, N. S., comes from a family of commer- cial travellers. His father, James Lear, was on the road in Lower Can- ada with dry goods for twenty three years, and few hien were more widely known and esteemed, and the genial Percy'hiwself has just retired from the ranks Of the drummer, after a varied experience as knight of the grip, which extended over sixteen years and em- braced almost every town and village in Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He • is an extremely popular young man, a leading member of the Oddfellowa' fraternity, an officer in the 03rd regiment of militia, and a raising merchant. "How comes it that you are so fat and ruddy after such a term of hust- ling railroad life and varied diet, Mr. Lear ?" questioned the reporter. "Well", was the answer, "it is along story, hat one well worth telling. 1 weigh 190 pounds to -day, and am in better health • than I even before en- joyed in ray life. Two years ago I got down to 155 potmds. Constant travel- ling, roughing it on trains and tri country hotels broke me• all up and left me with a nasty case of kidney complaint and indigestion. My head was all wrong, my stomach bad ; I was suffering continual pains and dizziness, and my unrine was extremely thick and gravelly. I began to get scared. I consulted several physicians' in Mon- treal, Winnipeg and other cities, but their treatment did not give me a parti- cle of relief. One day 1 bought a Lox of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I made up my mind to give them a good trial. They seemed to help me, and 1 bought a second, third and fourth box, and they cured me. My stomach was all right, the dizziness left my head; no more lassitude, and all traces of my kidney disease disappeared. I was a new man, and grained flesh immediately, and have never been troubled since. I con- sider my case astonishing, because kid ney complaint, especially gall stones, is hereditary in our family. It helped to hurry my father .to an early grave, and an uncle on my mother's side, Dr. Whittle, of Sydney, Australia, had been a chronic sufferer from gall stones from boyhood. I was so impressed with the virtues of Dr..`Villianis' fink Pills that I took the trouble to send Dr. Whittle two boxes all the way to Aus- tralia. Since my discovery of the benefits of these wonderful little pink coated exterminators of disease, 1 have recommended the remedy far and wide, and 1 could enumerate dozens of cases where they have been efficacious." An analysis shows that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life to the blood and restore shattered )serves. They are an unfailing specific for all diseases arising from an impover- ished condition of the blood, or from an impairment of the nervous systema, such as loss of appetite, depression of spirits, a anrernia, chlorosis or green sickness, general muscular weakness, dizziness, loss of memory, locomotor ataxia, paraivsis, sciatica, rheumatism, St. Vitus' dance, kidney and liver troubles, the after effects of la grippe, and all diseases depending upon a vitiated condition of the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, building anew the blood and restoring the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In the case of men they effect a radical euro in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses.
