NOTES AND COMMENTS Many of our readers will be glad to hear that the Canadian bacon holds the highest position in the British markets. That is the statement made by W. H. Perry, representing an in- fluential Liverpool importing firm, now on a tour in this country. With our farmers working to the views of packers, and producing the des- cription of hog that they find most pro- fitable to export, we may expect acon- stantly increasing British demand for our bacon, and at prices remunerative to all parties concerned. x The Montreal Witness says :—"The Hardy Government will find it neces- sa'ty, in order to retain public confi- dence and carry the elections, to take far more advanced and open ground in favor of social and moral reforms than it. bas yet stone in the present campaign. It has apparently aban- doned what was supposed to be the Mowat Government's policy in regard to prohibition, and has allowed the Government temperance legislative proposals inthe Assemblytobe de- feated. ss m P Pe by member' of its own party a w p y thus treating them as open questions on wlnicli the Government has no longer any policy by which it is pre- pared to stand. Unless the Goyern- ment declares some decided policy on this and other questions of a like character, it will find that it has for- feited confidence and support, which seem necessary to its existence, in view of the growing strength of the Opposition campaign." CROWING OVER OL'R LUMBER- MEN. lumbermen are as much Michigan delighted as our own lumbermen are disgusted. with Mr. Hardy's timber limit jugglery. They perceive that it will not incom- mode Melilla the least, and that it will clinch the $2 duty on Canadian lumber, When the order -in -Council appeared several of the big operators of Bay City, Michigan, including Benjamin Boatel, E. 1. Carrington, and Joseph Turner, stated in newspaper interviews that it was a political dodge and would make no trouble. Walter S. Eddy, one of the leading lumbermen of Saginaw, Mich.,said the order world not have the slightest ef- fect on the business of bringing logs from Ontario. Another lumberman, the owner of Large mills in Michigan and extensive limits in Ontario, writing to a public man in Toronto, says:— "This ays:"This action of the Ontario Govern- ment fastens the $2 duty on Canadian lumber, for the Americans who have been in favour of not over $1 duty, thinking that was all you people would standwithoutakick, now, finding that you will stand a $2 duty, want it, hav- ing been at heart in favour of it all the time." Thus the Michigan lunnher,men having got theear of the Ontario Goyernment are crowing over the Georgian bay lumbermen, who have not. The Latest News.

Involving the Death of seven Persona neer Winnipeg.. Winnipeg, Oct. 4. The great prairie fire Saturday did a tremendous am- ount of damage. The fire extended from Morris to the west side of Port- ae La Prairie. The Northern Pacific did not suffer much, owing to their foresight in keeping the right of way guarded, but the 0. P. R. suffered a great deal. The fire burned down the station at Baggot, and several tele- graph poles, two elevators and a num- ber ofother lanilchngs. Details cannot be secured, owing to telegraphic com- munication west being cut off at Bag - got, but the track is torn up at that place and west. In the city there were four serious fires. In Fort Rouge a large house on the outskirts was burned, haying caught fire from the prairie fire, while at night the Bank Hotel, and Scott's stables were burned to theground. The amount of insurance is unknown. A message from the Presbyterian missionary at Beausejoir to a mission- ary in the city, said seven fatalities. had occurred there, and asked for con- tributions of food and clothing for fam- ilies who have lost their all. The peo- ple who were burned were two women and five children, all Germans. Fire came on their homes so quickly that they could not escape. The fire struck the big marsh to the west of \Vinnipeg on Saturday after- noon, the grass burning like tinder, and to -day the prairie is dotted with dead cattle, Fire came up to the out- skirts of the city and burned one house and outbuildings in Fort Rouge, but fortunately it died out before doing further damage. In the district north of the city a farmer named Markham was burned badly while trying to save his property, and he has been brought to the hospital. At Whitewater the elevator was burned. At Oakville a. lot of wood put up for shipment was burned, as was also a tremendous quantity of hay. Particulars are meager yet, as the wires are down. A. disasterous fire occurredlast night at the farm of Joseph Scott, con. 3, Delaware. Mr. Scott had just finished threshing 1,000 bushels of grain, and the full year's crops, as well as the barn in which they were stored were destroyed. The loss is partially cover- ed by insurance. Mr. Scott's father- in-law, Mr. Bell, owned the build- ing. A conflagration early Monday morn- ing destroyed Pipe's icehouseandNew- man's cottages, six dwellings, in King- ston. The wind was blowing a gale. An infant, 7 months old, the son of Joseph Newman, was burned to death. His father was carrying him out when smoke overcome him and he Iost the child. Choked, dazed and burned, the father was rescued and is now in the hospital. The jury in the Tarte-Grenier libel case at Montreal, after being out only a few minutes, returned a verdict of guilty against the accused Grenier. An arrest of judgament was at once moved for by his counsel and granted, and the case will now he carried to ap- peal on the rulings of Judge Wurtele, who overruled as considerable portion of the evidence which the defence pro- posed to offer to the jury The village of Casselman, 30 miles southeast of Ottawa, on the Canadian Atlantic Railway, is burning. Fire is raging in the bush around the village and no trains can pass either way. Application was made to the Ottawa fire brigade for assistance, but none could be sent. Further information from Oassehnan is to the effect that the village is almost destroyed, and that the villages of South Indian and Cheney have also been burned. At the assize Court in Toronto, Monday morning before Justice Mc- Mahon, Miss .Ethel Snaith, daughter of Geo Smith, barrister, sued Jack Eaton son of Timothy Eaton, the big Yonge street departmental store. man for $30, 000 for alleged breach of promise to marry. The parties are both members of Trinity Methodist Church choir, and plaintiff claims that in 189.3 defendant promised to marry her. The defen- dant replied to this that, at the time this promise was alleged to have been given, he was an infant legally, and his promise could not hold. To this plaintiff says the promise was renewed after defendant became of age. The case was settled without going into the evidence, plaintiff accepting $2,200 and costs of action. A correspondent sends the following particulars of the death of the late Alex Langford, which has already been referred;to in these columns. The sub- ject of this sketch was instantly killed by a kick from a horse, on Monday evening, Sept. 27. It appears that on the evening referred to Alexander Langford took a lantern and went a- long the road to find his horses whit had broken out of their pasture field Wheu about a quarter of a mile fro home he found them.

The people of Newbury and the sur- rounding country wereplunged into the greatest excitment• and indignation Monday over an attempted outrage by a tramp upon Maude Blaine, the amiable 17 -year-old daughter of Joseph Blaine, a well-to-do and nighlyrespect- eel farmer living about a mile and a half southeast of Newbury. It occurred about 8 : 30 a. m., as Mande was on:her way to the Wards- ville high school She was walking on the Hagerty road,a much frequent- ed highway, from Newbury to \Vards- ville, and when opposite athicket was accosted by an unknown tramp. "I've been looking for you for three days," leered the villain, as he seized her, and began dragging her to the thicket. Maude screamed and fought with all her energy, but was utterly powerless in the grasp of the tramp, who was as burly brute. Her strength was ex- hausted, and she vas sinking into un- consciousness when a rig driven by Mr. Frank Davis, of Wardsville, appeared on the highway. It was a providential approach. Mr. Davis had been too far distant to hear the girl's screams, but as lie drove up he saw the tramp at- tempting the assault, and dashed to the rescue. The wretch, who was very light-footed, took to his heels, and es- caped over the fields. A general alarm was at once given, and in a very short time from 150 to 200 determined men. 50 of whom were sworn in as special constables, were on his tracks. About 2:30 p. in. some of them caught a glimpse of the fugitive, but he again eluded pursuit, and was seen no more. It is believed that he reached Glencoe, and there took a train. The tramp is described as about 25 years old, clean shaven, short, and stout. He wore a light gray suit. He attended the Methodist Church at Newbury in the morning and the Episcopal Church in the eyening, and had no doubt been watching for a victim. The temper of the community is at boiling point. The man was captured'nearAlvinston. He gave his name as John .Glossford. He admitted his guilt and is now in bustody. On him was found a gold ring which the prisoner had taken from Miss Blaine's finer, during the scuffle with her. The ring has been identified by an uncle of the young lady who gave it as a present to her. The girl's finger was broken in his endeavor to remove the ring. Miss Blaine is seriously ill. The president has appointed August- us G. Seyfert, of Pennsylvania., consul at Saratford, Ont. Sam. Livingstone, the oldest settler of Calgary, N. W. T. district, dropped dead there yesterday, aged 80. The regular annual meetingof the g Deanery of I3uron was held in St. Paul's church S. S. room Clinton, on Monday at 10 a.m. The principal bus- iness transacted was the election of the Missions Committee, which con- sists of Rev.

YEARS OF SUFFERING FROM RHEUMATISM RELIEVED•BY ONE DOSE OF MEDICINE. "For many years," writes Mrs. N. Ferris, wife of the well known birch manufacturer, of Highgate, Ont., "I was sorely afflicted with rheunnatic pains in my amkles, and at times was almost. disabled. I_ tried everything. as I thought,, and doctored for years without much benefit. Though I had lost confidence in medicines, I was in- duced to try South Ameriean Men - matte Cure. To my delight the first dose gave me more relief than I have had m years, and two bottles have completely cured me. You can publish this letter.' 851d by 0. LUxz. Table centre piece, .

Among the Thousand Islands is one called Grindstone, It is seven miles long and three wide. The inhabitants of this island are a well-informed class of people who devote their energies to farming and quarrying for a livelihood. In the home of one of these islands resides Florence J. Sturdivaut, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Sturdivant, In Feb- ruary, 1800, she was taken with scarlet fever, and after the usual run of the fever she was left with a weak back and gradually began to lose strength. until finally despite the best efforts of physicians her life hung in thebalance- It was at this crisis, when all seemed darkest, that an angel of health ap- peared on the scene and released little Florence from pain and suffering and metered her to strength and health. This remarkable occurrence is best told iu the words of the father. George Lawrence, of Guelph, com- mitted suicide by shooting himself with a revolver. Friday up to 4 o clocksixteen suicide and sudden deaths had been chronicled. in New York as havinghappened since early morning. Adelbert Wycott, a wealthy citizen of Picton, attempted suicide by cut- ting his throat in a Kingston hotel while temporarily insane. For any case of nervousness, sleep- lessness, weak stomach, indigestion, dyspepsia, try Carter's Little Nerve Pills. Relief is sure. The only nerve medicine for the price in market.

YOUNG LAMON'1;'S OASM, Neighbors much Interested in the Story—Everyone thought the Youngster would Die but He's Very Much Alive Now, DUNDALK, Oct. 4—Hugh Lamont, of McIntyre, has •a young son who is an object of interest throughout this whole section of country. From in. fancy the boy had dropsy, and was bloated and swollen all over. It seem. ed to the parents that death could be the only release to one attacked se young by this disease. They heard of Dodds Kidney Pills and began giving them to the child. With the first box the bloating and swelling began to dis- appear. Six boxes effected 0. perfect cure and the boy is now just as hear- ty a youngster as stirs up the dust on the high roads of Western Ontario, FLORENCE J. Swains -am Mr. Sturdivant „t d• "Florenee was taken sick with saarlct fever and we inunediately called a 1hvsician He or In • and � e followed his prescribed f ex � directions closely, giving our little patient the best of care. After two weeks the fever subsided,but Florence was left with a very weak back. Severe pains were constantly in the back and stomach. We slid all that possibly could be done to relieve our little sufferer, but to no avail. The diffi- culty seemed to bniliethe efforts of the physicians. "Finally at the end of four months of treatment, we found rnu' patient completely prostrated. At this time we called another physician, who agreed with the ditagnosis of our own doctor, and said that the trouble re- sulted from the scarlet fever. He pre- scribed a. course of treatment and we followed it faith fully for three months, but instead of improving, Florence failed. "Mrs. Sturdivant and myself were completely discouraged. A. brother of my wife, who was visiting us, advised us to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I purchased a box of the pills • nd began to give thein to Florence. This was in October, 1890. After using the pills it short time we could see an improvement. Her strength began to return and she would sit op in bed. Her appetite was restored and she ate heartily.
