Canada. consumes nearly twenty seven miflion bushels of wheat and about two •million bushels .required for seed. Last year we only produced 27,600,000 bushels; ee it was necessary to import into this Agricultural coun- try 1,500,000 bushels. This year the conditions are more favorable. It is estimated that we have grown 40,300,- 000 bushels and that as a consequence we shall have 10,325,000 bushels to ex- port. The wisdom of the Council in ex- pending moneyupon the open sewer. that formerly ran from the Commerial Hotel to the railway, is shown by the absence of the annual outbreak of fev- er fromthat portion of the town this year. The drainage was carried out under the system proposed by the Pre- vincial Inspector last year. The pres- ent council in this certainly deserve public thanks and it should be a strong factor in their favor next January when re election is sought. Amongst the number of different changes that have taken place here lately, we make mention this week of one in the person of Mr. John Sweet, of the Township of Stephen hav- ing S p who , ing rented his farm to his son Robert, is about to become a resident of this place. He has purchased a house and lot on Huron st, now occupied by Mr. W. J. Clarke, paying the sum of $700.00 therefore. Mr. Clarke intends locating in London, and will remove there shortly. We sorry to part with good citizens, such as Mr. Clarke, and his many friends will regret his departure. "If the Lord intended that man should smoke tobacco," said a truly good roan at the Methodist conference "He would have put a chimney on his head."That is the customary brand of anti•tobacco "argument". If th Lord intended man to wear short hair He would have caused it to grow that way. If the Lord intended that man should wear clothes He would have furnished natural buttons at various handy points of his anatomy. If the Lord intended man to eat onions H would have furnished his mouth with a patent deodorizer. That sofa of ar gument works every way. The• fall Assize court opened in the Court House at 3 p. m. on Monday Judge McMahon presiding.

Mr. L. Hardy expressed the opinion the other clay that the Pickard resid Gibbons, encs purchased bya Mr. ,P When 1 exempted from taxes. \'Y e would be cramp e f na asked on what ground, he replied that our council never refuses exemption when proper application is made. ®The Usborne adjourned cases of as- sault, malicious injury to property, etc., were continued on Friday last. After the examination of two witnesses a settlement was arrived at between the parties, whereby the complainant was paid 85 for the property destroyed and dropped the other charges. In default of paying• a fine of $4.55 for the tres- pass John Hicks was committed to gaol for fifteen days. • We hope the parties will now live in peace, harmony and good will, We understand, howeyer, that Wm. Hicks contemplates an ex- tensive law -suit. The balance of the insolvent Pickard estate, consisting mainly of real estate, was offered for sale by auction, on Tuesday the 7th inst. There were many likely buyers present but offers were not as numerous nor as extensive as it was hinted they would be. The stores were sold to Mr. John P. Ross, who purchased for some party or part- ies unknown. The price paid was $5,000. The residence only brought $1,450, scarcely the price of the brick: It was knocked down to Lawyer Gib- bons, of London, and it is supposed. he bought it in for the estate. Tho farm was bid in by Mr. Gibbons for $5,500. The salt well stock went at 40 ets on. the dollar. On the whole the sale was a failure. We understand that Mr. Pickard purchased some portion of the village property. Rambler in the Week thus speaks of the great organist whom it was our privilege to hear a few weeks ago on'. the organ of the Triyitt Memorial church: "A very remarkable personal- ity is that of Frederic Archer. He is, in addition to his unrivalled musical powers, a capital raconteur and a geed mimic. He will give you Max. o'Rell. for a quarter. of an hour, then a. Chicago or Milwalkee dame "trying" to be. musical, then John Stetson for twenty' minutes. He has an unerring memory,, for books as well as people, and manages to put away a good deal of current trash on his tours. Residence in Amer- ica seems only to strengthen his British born prejudices, His reminiscences of the Morman colony to which he has recently _played are full of quiet hnunpr and appreciation of character. Mr. Archer declares that the finest cathed- ral service on this continent is to,be found in Denver, Col, where both' organist and choirmaster are old friends of his. -A South American and Australian tour are in his programme for next year and the, year following. His playing last Saturday night was masterly at all points, and the MS. selection was an arrangement . of a Moskowski orchestral suite." ` Boarders wanted.

This is mushroom season, and lover of this delicacy cannot be too careful to. s be sure that it is mushrooms' and not toodstools that they are'eatipg•. ltyery e year a number of people meet their death by the easily made and fatal nits take. The first case of this season is reported from Essex Centre, in which a whole family was poisoned by eating toadstools, though the prompt applica- tion of remedies saved their lives. The He old and infallible test is as follows: Eat the plant. If it kills you it is a toad st000l; if it does not, it ib a mushroom. However, this` test is not agreeable to some people, and such should _learn' to unmistakably distinguish them or else let them alone. ' 1 iterary ?Vete. t The New York Ledger for October 4th is a mine of interesting fact and fiction regarding the` South, both the New South and; the Old. It leads off with a brilliant character sketch of Henry W. Grady, journalist, orator, And C patriot, written by Oliver Dyer, in which the effect on the New South of 's luminously ex- Grads slife-wort: is num y plained. A crisp editorial on - "The ;Marvelous 1teZ'ival of Prosperity in. the , South" tells its own tale. The Old South is pictured in the opening in- staljment of a.
