Three daughters and six sons are living: Mrs. Andrew Mc- Bride, in Hamilton; Mrs. Kenneth Mc- Donald, at the Soo; Mrs. Wm. Nicholson Bayfield; Peter and David in Warsaw N. Y.; William in California; Alexander in Michigan; John in Stanley, James at home.—James Pollard, proprietor of the Queen's Hotel, died on Monday, week, at the age of 42 years. He had been ailing with consumption for some time, and his death was not •unexpect- ed. He was a member of the Orange Order and Masonic Society, being bur- ied under their auspicee; he was highly esteemed, this being shown by the large number who attended his funeral on Wednesday.

Woodhain: A man who awns a There is one point that evens- farraer who keeps sheep ehould bear in mind, and that is, that a really first-class eheep will make as good a renovator of the sail as a poor, mieerable artimal that is neither a goad wool producer nor a breeder ot ti 'and of lambs that will command the , ,hest prices on the market. As much :are should ne exere eised in selecting sheep for the farm as any other animal. Quality counts in this as well as in any other line. The farmer who intends to keep sheep should select the breed that will give the greatest return in meal and lamb proIdnurcetgiOail. rd to the wool produced in this country, it may be well to point out just here that Canadian wool has the reputation of being of that coarse va- riety which seems to be a drug upon the markets of the world at the present time. A reaction may take pine soon- er or later, and this class of wools may be in greater demand, but it was some- what doubtful, if the present tendency of the market be taken as a guide. The demand for the finer wools is in- creasing the world over. The market for these is not subject to the variations in price that obtain in the market for the coarser wools, for the reason that the finer wools go to form materials that are bought by the rich, who do not quibble so much about the price. It may be well, therefore, for the farm- er, when procuring a flock of sheep, to select those breeds which are producers of the finer wools.
