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- jections plight be taken t0 his public 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. Perth County.

During the recent storm the barn of James Hyde, Blanshard, was set on fire by lightning and totally destroyed. For- tunately there was not a great deal of stock of any kind in it, so that the lose is on the building only. It was insured in the Perth Mutual. A three•year•old child, daughter of George Leak, of the township of Logan, was accidentally killed on Sater3ay last while running around with a sharp etiok in her month. She fell, the stick pene- trating to the baee of the brain, and death resulted in a few hours. At Godericb, in doubles, Clinton, re. presented by F. G. Peto and F. T. Boelle, defeated the home team, consist. ing of Geo. Drummond and 11, S. Wil. Ifams, by two straight setts. Games :-- 6.8 and 6.9. On Saturday last the same team also won from Blyth, on their own ground at Blyth, by two Bets to one! Gurnee :-6-4, 2.6, 6.5. Blyth was re. presented by Fred Tanner and Dr. W. Milne. 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. The Palmerston Telegraph deeoribes a singular character that resides in a 10x12 shanty in the township of Wallace. HIS etovo 10 made of as many pieces as there aro days in a month. Two members of the township council visited him the other day and found a state of affairs that almost beggars description.

Among others the following gentlemen were present AMoD. ;plan, Godo - rich ; P. E. Bucke, Ottawa ; A. Morton, Wintham ; P. C. Dempsey, Trenton ; T. H. Race, Mitchell ; M. Pettit, Wi- nona ; A. II. Pettit and L. Woolverton, 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.
