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 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.

in addition to his unrivalled musical
powers, a capital raconteur and a geed

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.

masterly at all points, and the MS.
