A question .that is bothering tilt) average mate is why it it necessary to. wait for the Lad of November btforo giving thanks for bountiful harvests and other blessings that have been showered oa dutiful Canadians during the year? It appears to be a settled matter now that the las: "!'fantiecdr,Cio iii Nov ereb'c r is. 'fixed as Thanksgiving Day. This is. the Atnericau Thanksgiving, and the Canadian auther.tiits dripped into the Arnerieaii dry in order that business would not he leeemn<oded. But there are serious objections to the he`.' •zatssof the day from a Canadi- an, etaa.itdeoiut.

Sri Canada's reputation for law and order on this walla.? A London police- man and au eteltnoute night watchman were murdered in cold blood some time ago. sa 'long ago that the circumstances have alums: passed from the Weds of the public. The murderers are stilt at largo, nor have the public the least assureuce that the proper measures were taken to apprehend the murderers. That a murderer marked with a wooden 1e;; ehould have fadt:d away and left no trace is impossible. That he has not been located is no great compliment to the ability and energy of Ontario's detective force. Not only sloes the blood of the mur- dered man demand justice, but it is a tnenace to the safety of all good citi- zens that murderers should be allowed ed to escape so easily. TOBACCO GROWING IN CAN- ADA. It is estimated that the 'tobacco crop of Essex aud Kent counties will be be- tween five and six tuillion pounds this year, and the fanners who have turned their atteutiou to the: cultivation of the 'weed are unanimous in their opinion that it is the best paying crop they can grow. Add to this the fact that a tobacco factory is to be erected at Leamington and that Tuckett & Company are build- ing an es tensive addition to their works at Hamilton to be devoted exclusively to the manufacture of the Canadian growth tobacco and it will be seen that tobacco cultivation has got beyond the experimental stage. Its cultivation will doubtless extend to the Niagara peninsula, where similar soil and climate to those in Essex and Kent are found, and the output and manufacture of the weed promise to be one of the most important of Canadian inn ustries. NOTE AND COMMENT. The number of deaths from con- tagious diseases in the province of On- tario for the three months ending Aug. 31 was 675, against 658 for the same period last year. This increase in deaths taken in connection with the decreasing number of births, as shown by Rev. Mr. Williams, is good food for study. There is an alarming increase in the deaths from tuberculosis, which for the three months mentioned num- bered' 455 in 184 but only 361 in 1897. A REMARKABLE SEASON. For growth tbis season certainly eclipses anything in the history of the country. There bas been two crops of raspberries, three crops of clover. The pussy willows have shed their fall mantle and are taking on the green verdure ofspring. The wild flowers of the roadside and woods are now;in bloom a second time, and sois the wild mus- tard. The trees and shrubbery neer looked greener at this season, giving evidence that although approaching the "sere and yellow leaf," that time is somewhat distant yet, if greenness, may be taken into account; Then take the pasture on the roadside, which has never failed this summer, it is longer, greener and ranker than at any time during the season. Taken altogether we have a great country and the immigrant who passes its hos• pitable shores does not know what he has missed. et -r, The overcrowded condition of the teachsng professiou throughout the Province is being felt, and as a result the Model Schools is being poorly at- tended this year. In Simcoo county only three t ee applied for ad- mission, while Elora, Berlin, Stratford and Mitchell also shows a falling off. Similar reports came from nearly all over the Province, and it is believed that this chauge will relieve,iu a measure, toe overcrowded eoudition of the teaching profession throughout the country. The salaries now -a days are cur down so touch that feet think of taking teaching as their life work, Let us hope that the tide has pow been steamed and that hereafter no good farmers will be spoiled by being poor teachers. 0 IN A BAD Zl AI'.

According to the first story of little Harry, they had been playing for some time, when he left his companion for home, the other lad saying he was going to " stay and boom the logs, " at the slime time walking over in the direction of the logs. The nonappearance of the boy alarmed the parents, and a search was immediately instituted. Working on the above clew, the inlet in the centre of the island was dragged and search• ed all day Tuesday, the logs interfer- ing considerably in the work. Not till Tuesday night could little Armstrong be induced, to tell the real circumstan yes of the incident. The two had been throwing chips into the water from the bridge when little Buchanan fell in and, being unable to swim, was. drowned. His companion was unable to render any assistance and too frightened to tell the whole s ory. Im- mediately on learning this, search was made at the place indicated and at the third grapple the body was found by Capt. Wm Robinson, just at the stern of the schooner Craftsman. The body,. which had been in the water for over twenty-four hours, was carried to the elevator and from there conveyed home. 0 William P.
