An insokency bill has been intro-
duced in the Houss of Commons,. nr.
Fortin, the member who introduc-
ed the bill, said-; that it had been,
prepared under the ouperyisiait of the
Moqtreal Board of Trade:assisted ,by
Meors. A. S. Kent and 'Mr. Steven-
s( n, who are authorities on the sub
.
ject The measure embodied many of
1
the . provisions- • of . Sir McKenzie
Llowell's Bill passei by tbe seniti in
1804 and reintroduced in OW , It is
limited in its application AO traders.
An important point of difference) Le.
tween this and the Boewell bill is that
it does not apply to.joint *Wei com-
pahies, which comm under the 'winding
up Act of 1S89-. Voluntary assign-
ments must be compulsory. The pro-
ceedure is this: Application is made
by a petition to the court for a receiv-
ing order. That order, .when issued,
is addressed to the sheriff, who im-
mediately takes possession olthe pro
perty of the insolvent. "Mr. Fontin's
bill seems to meet the most pressing
demands, namely, no preferences, and
protecting' the rights of British credi-
tors. The bill has been favorably
received by both parties in the Com-
mons.
AGAINSR FODDER CHEESE
The following circular has oeen sent
to dairymen by the Ingorsoll Packing
Co., and may be of interest to those
engaged in dairying, as proving the
wisdom of establishing creamMes :
.
"We believe the factorymen in the
Ingersoll section will he studying their
own interests if they do not make any
fodder cheese this seoson, especially as
they are at best an undesiraLle article
and reflect discaedit on all the cheese
•manufactured throughout tam season.
We are all well aware that the con-
ditions are not favorable in the early
spring months for making cheese. If
they are made they will naturally find
their way to the other side and are an
important factor in depressing the
market when the heavier month's
Make is being marketed. Moreover,
fodder cheese get out of condition as
soon as the weather turns warm and
cast a reflection on Canadian cheese
generally.
By not commencing to make before
the first or middle of May it will give
the importers on the other side an op-
portunity to clear out their old stocx,
and thus we will be able to commence
the new season on a better bailie.
The importers have lost heavily on
last Leason's purchases for which they
paid very remunerative prices, (aud
many of them now have large etocks),
and the money thus lost was received
by Canadian factorymen. Now it will
undoubtedly be to the advantage of
all who areaconscientiously interested
in lanadian cheese to do their utmost
to see there are no fodder,cheese made'
Iii discussing this matter with several
of our most prominent factorymen
they are very emphatic in denouncing
the making of any fodder cheese.
••:The price both el eatuery and
dairy, butter is hinher than for .years.
past' in the spring, partially owing to
the drought In Ablitrailia,. and, the
milk can be utilizediti the waking of
butter, much :more prOtitOly them in
the making.Of tsdder .cheese. •
- Patrons, cheesemakera, . salesmen
and buyers as svell.should lay asidednY
personal interest and all act in har-
mony in serving the beat interest,' of
the trade."

Got Lett
There are economical people, and
there are others: A lady went into a
stsre recently and inspected some dress
.goods. A remnant that contained -
only 41 yds suited. her taste pretty
well, but she did not by it. She
wont home and shortly after her hus-
band entered the store to porches°
4i yards of said goods. Theinerchant
did not feel like giving or throwing'
away the quarter of a yard and 'die
piece was not sold. Business people
do right in refusing. to be a party. to
the little schemes of that class who
are eveilastingly trying to get some-
thing for nothing.

able hour. they held a short meeting in
the Council Chamber on their arrival.
They then adjourned to allow a visit
and inspection being mad., of the sites
offered in the neighborhood of Walker-
ton. 'This they did on Saturday after-
noon, when they again convened and
discussed the pros and cons of the
various claimants. After -a' vote of
thanks had oeen passed to Mayor
Donohoe and others of Stratford for
the kind reception the council met
with at their hands, and the faculties
they were afforded for viewing the
House of Refuge there, it was moved

ton, and made some excellent points in
favor of the County town. Messrs.

mings also expressed their views, after
which the Warden appointed the
clerk and treasurer as scrutineers.
Voting then commenced, and after
sixteen ballots had been taken, the
matter was still undecided.
In order to get a rest and have a
consultation an adjournment was
