Tee death of Hon. John Norquay, ex.
premier of Manitoba, removes one who
was an unique figure in Canadian public
life. A. native of Manitoba, of Scotch
and Indian parentage, and with limited
opportunities of obtaicing a knowledge
of public attain: John Norquay at au
early age displayed remarkable ability and
took the lead among the public men of
his province. No matter what ob-

policy, his geniality, good nature and
generous disposition wan for hint eon.
tinned personal popularity. Mr. or.
quay's first entrance into public life was
as a member of Louis 'tiers "rebel coun-
cil," when the ill-fated half-breed leader
undertook to form a •'provisional govern-
ment" at Fort Garry in 1809, Mr. Nor -
quay filled the position of premier of
Manitoba from 1878 until the winter of
last year, when he suffered defeat through
identifying himself too closely with the
disallowance and railway monopoly policy
of the present Dominion government, He
leaves a family of four sous aid three
daughters. Mr. Norquay's death creates
a vacancy in the Manitoba assembly, and
in the leadership of the Conservative op-
position in that body.

During the recent storm the barn of

by lightning and totally destroyed. For-

James Roberteon, the well-known
reeve of Wallace, met with a serious ae•
cident the other day that will keep him
in hie house for a time. On the day
named one of his sons was telling what
a chase ho had with some cattle on the
farm that lies about a mile from the
homestead, ann how he Dame out victor,
Mr, Robertson, in a jocular manner, told
his son that in the matter of running or
inmping he thought he could beat him,
The son then challenged hie father to a
jumping bout, which was accepted. Mr,
R„ eenlot, went to the barn and got a
couple of weights to assist him fn the
Match, and Dame swinging them one in
each hand as he walked along. Unbar.
tunately he struck ono of them against
his knee, injuring the sinews around that
joint so badly that it was at firer feared
he had broken his leg. His medical al.
riser has ordered perfect rust for the
patient as the only chance of preventing
the injury resulting in a stiff joint.

otion was held last week in this town.
Among others the following gentlemen
were present AMoD. ;plan, Godo -

T. H. Race, Mitchell ; M. Pettit, Wi-

Grimsby ; Thos. Beall, Lindsay, and 2.
Little, Granton. The meeting was held
in Cardno's Hall, and an address was
delivered by D. D. Wilson, of beaforth.
Among the subjects discussed were the
following :—"Grapes for Market," "Cul-
tivation of the Currant for Home use
and for Market," "Strawberry Culture,"
and the "Culture and Propagation of
Gooseberries." One very important
subject was that concerning the "Judg-
ing of Fruits at Fairs," introduced by
Thos. Beall, of Lindsay, director of the
Association for Agricultural Division
No. 5. lie claims that, in order to secure
uniformity and fairness in the awarding
of prizes, it was absolutely neeessarythat
a scale of points should be carefully pre-
pared, and that instead of three judges,
as at present employed, the one judge
system should be introduced. Iu this
way the best talent conld be employed
and suitably remunerated. It was also
recommended that a card, with the
scale of points marked mately on it,
should be filled out by the judge and at-
tached to the prize fruit. The following
list of points was suggested, viz.:—(1)
Commercial Value ; (2) Productiveness ;
(8) Ilardiness : (1) Quality ; (5) Perfect
Growth, each of these to count five
points, esoept the last, which was to
count ten. The whole question of ar-
ranging a scale of points, however, ryas
passed over to a committee -ehioh will
report at the next meeting, which will be
held at the City of Windsor, in Decem-
ber. A very practical address was also
given by the President, A. McD. Allan,
of Goderioh, upon the best methods of
culling, packing and grading apples for
market. He said that buyers should ar-
range a scale of prices for perfeot fruit
in proportion to its commercial value in
the British markets, and thus encourage
the growing of only the most profitable
varieties. Re recommended some such
scale of prices as the following ; —When
the Baldwin is worth 61 the other
varieties should range somewhat this
way, viz, : Ribeton Pippin and Blenheim
Pippin, $1.50 ; Ring, $1.50 ; Spy, 61.30 ;
American Golden Russet, $1,25, and
Greening 51. In speaking of strawberries
John Little, Canada's Strawberry Ring,
said that he was satisfied that the Haver.
land was four times as large as the Cres-
cent and just as early ; that the War.
field was a valuable berry and would
yield more and larger berries than the
Crescent. The aim of the Aseoeiation is
to advance the fruit•growing intereeta of
Ontario, and thus increase the wealth of
the country, and to accomplish thie end
the better it has beet determined by the
Government to Bond the most skilled
specialists in fruit culture, whether di-
rectors or members of the Association,
to address the meetings of Farmers' In-
stitutes upon the best methods of con-
ducting with profit this industry.
