James Farewell, the notorinus con- vict who recently made so me',y escap- es from custody, was recal•t ured at Port Perry Monday night by constable McKnight of that town. During the nignt he broke jail again. His escape was not noticed until he had a good start, hut the officers immediately went in pursuit, ran down their man at Sea- grave. He has been shackled and is guarded by two constables so that it is impossible for him to get away. t, What is !Ionic v " In answer to a question, " What is home without a newspaper ?" an ex- change says: " Well, 13ro , after scratch- ing the thin spot on our head several bions, we hare come to the conclusion that: it is the place where old hats are staffed into broken windows; where the wife looks like a bag of wool with a string around the centre; where the husband has a tobacco panorama paint- ed on his shirt front and the neglected children wipe their noses ou their jae ket sleeves." Remove the Affected Parts. It is now seasonable to advise gard- eners to examine their plum and cherry trees, and cut off every sprig and branch on which black knot appears. It is the best method to remove a por- tion cf the limb several inches below the excreseuce, and paint the part with turpentine or linceed oil. Burn the pruning so that the disease may net spread to other trees, as black knot is infectious. Every gardener who al- lows black knot to remain on his trees, leaves himself Liable to a fine of not less that $5 or not more than $20 for every case of neglect. Every infor- mation laid against a person for neglect in this way, may be treated the same as any other offence. A.

We understand he has been figuring the relative and proportion- ate cost of married versus single life and has concluded that it will not cost much more to keep house than to pay for board and lodging and trimmings. Consequently a hum in the matrimonial market may be legitimately anticipated. Sell Your Wool, The wool market has opened and it is now selling at 17 cents per pound. We would advise those who have wool to sell to dispose of it early. The price is low but in all probability as soon as the Dingley tariff hill goes into effsct the price will still go lower The' Lon- don Free Press, whieh is generallf can. ceded to be reliable, has the following, viz:—"A few lots of washed wool sold at 14 to 15 cents a pound, and lower prices may be expected, as the Dingley tariff places about 12 cents a pound against our stock wools. Where the hitch comes in is this:—Very few of the States of the American Union raiselu.s•. Fre wool, for if Lincolns, Leicesters or Cotswolds are imported the t:limate is such that the thread or fibre of the wool deteriorates: So Canada was the main of good long wool. Now about the En- glish t' supply, y, the manufactures there for•delaines have'sufiicient long wools in their own markets." J. A. Gregory, who has so succes fully taught in S. S.

After service the delegates retired to the school hall where an address of wel- come was delivered by Rev. Bray, of this parish. Among other things Mr. Bray said he felt honored that the As- sociation met in his parish this year— it being jubilee year, he also made patriotic mention of our Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria. The reports of the various Sunday Schools were read by the Secretary, Miss M. Sweet, all of which showed that some good S, S, work was being done throughout the dean- ery. D. Dyer was appointed Secretary pro tem in place of 11, Dennis, who has retnoyed from this deanery. Rural Dean Hodgins, of Seaforth, took the chair and in his address advocated that at each annual convention the papers and from what parish to be furnished, should be decided on at each preced- ing convention; he also suggested that the annual meetings take place two weeks before or after the annual meet ing of Synod. He was pleased to notice that such a number of Sunday -Schools throughout the Deanery had adopted the Iirstituted Leaflet scheme fn teach- ing, and suggested that comparison be made out from year to year.

Much profit resulted from the paper read by John Itansford and the discussion which followed. Miss Smallacombe, of Hensalt, read a very interesting. paper which also caused much profitable discussion. Owing to the absence of Miss Holmes, of Clinton, her paper on " Missionary Work" was not read, but the subject was thoroughly discussed by several. delegates.
