The Postoffice Department continues to expand in order to keep pace with the growing requirements of the Doiniuioo. The list for July makes provision for the distribution of the mails to 37 new offices, scattered throughout every pro- vince. A new postoffice has been open- ed in Huron County, uauted Lothian. Mr, J. B. Laing, Provincial Auditor of nannicipal accounts, states that 100 inspections have been made already this year. He does not think that this re- cord indicates any increase in dishouesty among municipal treasurers or even an increase of suspioion against them, but merely indicates that the Councillors • are getting more careful. The monthly statement of the Post - office Savings Bank account shows that the balance to the credit of depositors on the 80th of June was $45,419,70fi 25. The withdrawals during June slightly exceeded the deposits, but the addition of interest accrued on June 130th in- creased the balance by 81.215,000 over that reported at the end of the previous month. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is somewhat au- noyed at the statements sent out to t, country, alleging that he is ill. Sir Wilfrid. was at his office as usual. E11, is feeling tired as a result of the loug session, and is also worried at its drag. ging on, but otherwise is in good shape. When the session is over he will go to the Lower St. Lawrence and rest for e few days. Hon. Geo. W. Ross, Premier of Ont- ario, returned to Toronto on Satnrday after a five weeks' holiday speut at Hot Springs, Virginia. He looks remark- ably well and says he has been greatly benefitted by the holiday, which is the only one he has had in two years. He says the weather was simply delightful, and for five weeks he had no thought of politics, but just rested and carried out his doctor's orders. The Montreal Herald says:—"If a man were to walk along one of the main thoroughfares, stopping at every corner to shout 'Men of Canada, keep both hands on the Union Jack,' it is fairly certain he would be taken in charge until an expert opinion could be had as to his state of mind. Lord Dundonal•l, who twice shouted this expression at the people of Ottawa as he went to the train. and who kept on shouting it after the traiii had arrived at Montroal, is perhaps entitled to whatever benefit flows from the charitable view that his grotesque language is due to the hot weather and to much pondering ou his own hard lot." CHURCH NOTES. The Sacrament of the Lord's Slipper will be dispensed in the Methodist Church on Sunday morning next. A reception service will also be held. Rev. Wm, Lowe preached in the Church of England at Lucknow crit Sun- day last. Mr. McGowan, who has charge of the church at Lucknow the services in St. Panl's church. Rev. John Campbell, L. L.

Lave Stock Markets. Toronto, Aug. 2 —Receipts at the city ca mit- market to -day were 78 loads, with 1.135 head of cattle, 1.021 sheep and lambs, 600 bogs and 69 calves. The market was dull, especially for export cattle. The slump 10 prices iu the Bri- tish mar ets, noted last weak, has had its inevitable effect in prices here, and, as was expected, there is very little life in the trade juet at present. At the same time dealers do not look for a con- tinuance of the present condttions. which has been brought about in part s a resultof the meat packers' strike. Should the strike continue the exp• rt market will be dull owing to the extra rush of live cattle from the States. Some of the dealers, however, are in. eluted to look upon the brighter side, and see an early recovery in the British market from the present low level The reeovery at. the best eau be but slight, as prices are usually down from now out for the rest of the season. In the mean- time shippers who have not space to fill are awaiting developments. Several loads of export cattle were offering to- day, but it was diffieult to geta bid at all. and no sales were reported during the morning.
