Tota arrivals from commencement of the season to date 50,760 barrels: during the same period last year, 1,931 barrels; increase We season 49,420 barrels. The first returns on commission net Mr. W. J. Biggins $1.25 per barrel; Wm. McAI1ie- ter, Stanley,$1.52 per barrel, while others—the earlier varieties—have netted 60c. to 90c. per barrel. BIRTHDAY PARTY AND ANNiVER sARY.--The ladies of the Ontario Methodist Church haveetruck a happy idea in arranging to celebrate the 19th anniversary of the dedication of the church. The dates have been set for Sunday and Monday of neat week, Special sermons will be preached on Sunday, in the morning by Rev. A. Stewart, and in the evening by Rev. R. Millyard.

A birthday cake, of superior quality, will be cut in small pieces and sold. The admission will be one cent for each year of the church's history -10 years. STILL A BRITISH SUBJECT.—During the Venezuelan embroglio Mr. Wm. Laing, of Chicago, wrote to hie trusted Commander, Lord Wolesley, depre- cating American jingoism. In 1870 Mr. Laing came from the United States, enlisted at London and went to the front to check the murderer of Thomas Scott and his blood -thirsty followers, so that he knows something of the British flag and freedom and reveres the old Union Jack. In answer to Mr. Laing's letter of recent date Lord Wolseley says among other things that he is glad to have tidings of his old comrade and to learn that he continues to revere the old flag, and adds :—"Wherever it flies it, denotes human progress and love of justice, pluck and fair play." D. CANTELON'SAPPLES.—One return from Glasgow of '700 barrels made an average of 85c. free on hoard cars, in- cluding apples, barrels and packing. Another lot of 7;! barrels sold in Liver- pool brought an average of 95c. The latest cable reports from Hamilton & Pritchard quote green apples one shil- ling lower. This applies to Colverts and other pale -colored fruit, and means that they will only net from 40 to 75c. hack in the West. During the week of Sept. 18th there were about 28,000 barrels in Liverpool, and 40,000 this week. The firm again repeat that green apples must not be shipped. est week the exports from all parts to Liverpool was about 75,000 barrels. Thos. Russel cables from Glasgow that fair prices are being paid for hard fruit. Considering the enormous quan- tity going forward, the outlook for good prices is discouraging. MUBHROOMs. —This year there seems to be a. great crop of tawshroorns. Alinost every morning citizens may be seen at an early hour wending their way to various points. Last Thurs- day Mr. I. Rattenbury was on the hunt down the London Road and re- turned with a good load. James Fair, Jr.. Chief Wheatley and Town Clerk Coats know a good thing once it touch- es their palates and have in consequ- ence been rewarded with many good fids. This year the sample is not so easy as formerly todistinguishfrom the toadstool, haying less pink on the under side and being lighter in color. A mushroom, according to Webster, is an edible fungus (Agaricus carnpestria,) having a white stock which bears a convex or even flattish expanded port - tion called the pilaus. This is whitish and silky or somewhat scaly above, and bears on the under side radiating gills which are at first flesh -colored, but gradually become brown. The plant grows in rich pastures and is poverbial for rapidity of growth and shortness of duration. It has a pleas- ant smell, and is largely used as food. It is also cultivated from spawn. The poisonous toadstool is very deceptive and should bescrupuloutly avoided. A Cr.(NTONI.AN's Su esss. —As announced in THE Naws-Racoau a few days since, Mr John Irwin, a native of Clinton, had been installed Train Master on the Grand Trunk Railway at Belleville, his onerous duties covering the territory between Brockville oriel Toronto. Mr. Irwin, a son of our highly esteemed townsman (Richard Irwin, Esq.,) was born in Clinton over the editorial chair of nig NFws-Rio osn and this gives us even greater pleasure if at all possible in referring to the prosperity and progress of one of our former citizens. He received his initial rail way training in Clinton and has made good use of the school, his intellect of course lead- ing him nn to greater achievements. The iielleville Daily Intelligencer of recent date says of the Clintonian :---"A reporter met Mr. Cotter this morning at the station where he was introducing Mr. Irwin into his new duties. He said the position of Train Master was a new office on the grand Trunk, hut all the American roads had similar officials. Under the new system being adopted by Mr. (lays Train Masters were a necessity, as it was impossible tor a Superintendent to ho in touch with the sten on his division. ' The reporter was introduced to Mr. Irwin, who would immediately sti ike any one as a man of business. Even while conversing with the scribe he kept his eyes open as to the manner in which prising trains were being handled, and once he called the atten tion of one of the yard men, in a friendly way, to a mistake that had been made in coupling. Mr. Irwin is a Canadian by birth, his former home being near Clinton, Ont." (This ahonld be at Clinton, Ont.—Ed.) "He began railroading on the 0. T. R. about fif- teen iFteen years ago and after two years he went to the Wabash. He will, as Train Master, have charge of transportation between Toronto and Brockville. All the Despatchera Agents and Operators and those connected with the running of trains will be under his direction, and he will be responsible for the district over which be has jurisdiction. Mr. Irwin is a young man of unassuming demeanor, but it is gnite evident he thoroughly understands his business." TAR News-Raoono wishes Mr. Irwin, a native Clintonian, every posaible Arturo promotion and abundant success. "troll Street Furniture Yarorooms, Clinton.
