INDUSTRIAL EXTENSION. — The \\'illiams, Greene & (tome Corn- * pally of Berlin have decided to locate their Dery branch shirt and collar manufactory at Guelph. The city gives them a building free of rent end taxes, put in shape suitable for the business, and free water for ten years. The Company promises to employ not less than 50 hands for the first year ; 10'0 hands the second year ; 300 lianas the- third year ; and not less than 200 hands every year during the period of exemption. CROP YIELDS.—The Ontario crop bulletin of July 20th is to hand. It estimates the yield of fall wheat this season in Ontario at 19,132,007 liushels,'and spring 'wheat, 7,679,- 642 h'labels respectively 23.3 bush- els, and 19.3 bushels to the acre. Last year of the two, Ontario pro- duced 20,284,346 bushels, so that this year the crop is 6,527,303 bushels larger ; barley is given et 26,539,517 bushels, or 3,162,948 bushels larger than last year; oats are given as 73,663,061 bushels, or 8,100,150 larger ; peas are given as 15,439'132 bushels, or 1,169,269 bushels larger. The report promises a revised issue early in September, based oh the threshing results, which may disturb these figures somewhat. i+• INSPECTOR Mat.t.00li had quits a novelty last week to the flowering of a night blooming torous phut.IE` blooms only at night.

RURAL DEAN CRAIG returned home last week from his trip up the lakes, Duluth, Proctor Knott's zeuith city of the great unsalted seas, Mr. Craig describes as a won- drous effort of man in the face of flinty nafure. A few years ago the present town site was chiefly a mass of bold rock rising sheer up from the water to a height of 400 feat. Now by blasting etc it. is it town plot locating some 25,000 inhabit- ants and fast becoming a big railway terminus, The ]Lev. gentleman looks very much the better of his tiip. • CHIVALRY Nu'1' DEAD.—All the G. 7'. 1u. conductors ate accommo- dating. There is nu room for argu- ment ou that point. There are solve of them that exceed Chester- field in politeness when a lady is concerned, and an example of this was given on the Goderich div- ision. Just as the train was palling out of one of the stations telt uorth a lady passenger was heard to ex- plain ” I forgot to kiss them 1" and wildly rushing after the train could be seen two ladies who had accom; !rallied her to the station, The agony of the ladies was too much fur the local hearted conductor-, the descrijetionof whour givdn by our in- formant corresponding closely with the obliging Crawford. IIe pulled the string and stopped the train. Tho ladies came up and kissed the departing one, and while the sweet- ness of' the osculations and the con- ductor's kind action still lingered about, the train resumed its jour- ney southward. This action calls to mind the days of the cavaliers, when a woman's lightest wish was law THE WOMEN Wes,—The largeet crowd which has assembled in At- lantic Park for a long time attended what may, by au awful stretch of courtesy, be called a baseball snatch betweou the Atlautics and a team of seven sun -burned, clock -stocking young women and a pitcher and catcher, The pitcher and catcher were of such a masculine appear- ance as to lead to the conclusion that nature had made a terrible mistake in their construction. The visitors were dressed in short skirts reaching to the knee, blouse waists, jockeys caps and black combination stock- ings and tights. It would be a statement wider of the truth than anyone would care to slake, to say that the girls can play ball, or that there is the remotest possibility of their ever being 'able to play the game. Outside pitcher and catcher they cannot throw, and none of then can field. They, however, seem to try to play as well and as earnestly as they eau and they run fairly well, One of the team, regardless of consequences, actually slid to the base on several occasions. The Allanties realized, after the first ball or two had been pitched, that it would be folly to attempt to play ball, for if they did, none of the girls would evot' reach first base and, being too gallant to beat the girls, manage 1 to keep behind by throwing the ball over the third baseman's head when it should have been thrown' to first base. This, no doubt, was fun for the Atlantics and pie for the girls, but it was not very pleasant to those who had hoped to see some excuse for a ball game at the worst. Hub McColl was the umpire, and did much to assist„the girls in winning. There we're fully 3,500 persons pre- sent, a large percentage of whom were ladies, and a larger percentage small boys. It might not be out of place to ,remark that is it understood that tho women won the game by a score of 98 to 12,—St. Thomas Journal. • seatoor.1r( raml..7F`-'..`.cFl47r."eesa wireir~h}.I,Ipertiets/pT!:1srperre eerz FSR :avie werie 4, watte4.Ri . •, WE HAVE NOW ON HAND TIIE LARGEST AND ZIOST COMPL'.ITE STOCK OF shoal Books & School Supplies WEST OF TORONTO. 0 OVER 100 KINDS O1+' - §LEAD PENO1LS- 1N STOCK.

BRYSON'S LAST Wonns.—Three weeks ago THE NEWS -RECORD re- lated a few interesting facts con- cerning George Bryson, at ono time a station agent in the township of Howick, county of Iluron, hut who was recently executed at Boulder, Montana, for the murder of his mistress, Annie Lindstrum. It should be stated that when Bryson went west from the county of Huron, he loft behind him a young wire and a little girl of tender years, The day before the wretch- ed man met his doom on the scaly fold he penned a letter to his child, which has just been received by the deceased's parents in Howick. The letter exhorts his daughter as to her conduct in life, and protests his innocence. Bryson, died pro- testing his innocence, and these were his last words, spoken from the gallowa: " In conclusion, I meet state that the Territory of Montana in hanging George D. Bryson "con -units a judicial murder, breaks the hearts of the most noble father and mother in the world, and dishonors the most honorable name in Canadian history." - COIJNCiLLttR JOHNSTON ABROAD. Ma. EDITOR.—Kinds) allow me 'space in your tory paper for a few words about my recent trip through Ontario and Manitoba. I left Goder• ich Wednesday 31st of July, on the Campana, stopping at Kincardine, thence to.Richard's landing. Lovely scenery through the Devil's Gap to the "Soo." Boats were also passed by the score on our way to Port Arthur. We stopped at Silver Islet, went ashore, viewed the deserted town and the ponderous mill used for crushing the silver ore. Arrived at Port Arthur on Friday. This is a flourishing town. The Captain and officers of the boat tried to make the voyage as pleasarjt-as possible. No profanity heard during the trip. Leaving PortArthur for Winnipeg by the C. P. R. the bare rocks and stunted shrubbery 'on the hills was all that was to be seen for hundreds of miles. Saw one cow a few miles out from Port Arthur, after 15 hours run saw another cow, and she ap- peared to be on her knees praying for grass. A few utiles from Winni- peg the prairie country came in view. Arrived in Winnipeg Satur day noon, making close connections with trains for west and southwest. Had just time to take a glass of ale before taking train for Pilot Mound, a flourishing town 125 miles west of Winnipeg. Got there at 7 p. m„ pass- ing on the way some very fine coun- try, but owing to the drouth the crops looked very poor. At Pilot Mound was stet by dr. and Mrs, ale - Cool and drove home with them and fulfilled the scriptural injunction by resting on the Sabbath. Monday en- joyed myself immensely shooting gophers but after slaying them by the dozen with shotgun and rifle, 1 was forced to beat a retreat. '1.'hey were so numeroua'that it was common to see them in half-dozen lots jeering me because I could not shoot them all at once. f hoisted the flag of truce and allowed them to remain masters of the , battle ground. On Friday I hired a broncho and•buclz- board anis started-overlruld with Mr. McCool for Plumb Creek, 125 miles distant, crossing the Pembina valley bordered with hills and fringed with shrubbery, intermingled with sturdy oaks, and hay stacks on the open patches of plain, the 'whole going to make up a picture that would de- light the heart of an easteru artist, Further across the prairie we reach Otenaw, on our way camping for dinner and to feed the broncho. Then through the Tiger hills and past a small lake that swarmed with (lucks and a few wild geese. 0, how I wished for gun and dog! but alas, both had been left behind, so the game bad to remain unmolested. Proceeding we reached Glenboro, a stirring town where we enjoyed a good square meal. This is the ter. minus of the Manitoba South West. ern Ry., and has a good farming country about it: About ten miles from Glenboro we struck the Assina, bola river which we forded at Mc Combs ferry. On the north side of the river we strike the Sand hills, rightly named. Tiring of the sand we crossed back to the south side near Glen Souris and reached Bram don noon Saturday, where we met Messrs. D. Jackson and W. Whitely of Mullett. Mr. J. Churchill from Goderich 'fp., and Mr Townsend from Clinton. Then we went westward to Mr. 'Phos. Stephenson's, making the trip of 125Miles in less than two days, it would bother most of the Clinton speeders to do better. Mr. and Mrs.Stephenson were more than pleased to see us. Sunday we went to see Mr. A. Morrison and were heartily welcomed by ,himself and family, all being glad to hear of old friends in and around Clinton. Re- turning to Mr. Stephenson's we met with an Englishman who was going to church and he invited us to a meeting after church, providing he could borrow aa bulldog. His meet- ing opened, by his taking his text from a box. The text was a living badger. Singing was commenced by the bulldog and was joined in the chorus by six collies. After a roues ing sermon for three quarters of an hour the Englishman's proceedings were close) by his claiming the care case of the badger. Had dinner next day with T. A. Tamblyn of the Central hotel, Brandon. We con• tinued our return journey to Mr. McCools, having dinner again on the old camp ground. Mr. Stephenson has 110 acres of wheat that will aver- age 20 bushels, Mr. J. Morrison about the same. Mrs. Cooke, form- erly "of Clinton, has a good erop, also Mr. Morrison Sr. Here I saw the biggest ox team I ever came across, they beat Mr. .Jas. Fair's. Hay is very plentiful there. Around Bran- don crops are abort, considerably below the average. Around Glen- * r *:- A Great Line!

In the !guides. boro settlement they would have been considerably above the average bad it not b.een that the gophers destroyed about one third of them, patches of 25 acres' in many places being completely ,destroyed. The average wheat crop' here ! should say would be -about ten bushels per acre. •Here I helped to fire a steam engine feeding it with. straw for fuel while we crushed 260 bags of wheat, oats and barley. Mrs. McCool and I drove to Thos. 'laggards who runs an extensive farm. While Mr. II. and 1 were viewing the crops and the work - Ing of three binders we came across a covey of prairie chickens. 'Though I had a. rifle I preferred a shot gun brought by Mr. Ilaggard's son "laughing Fred", and I succeeded in bagging three birds, taking two on the wing and the third sitting. I was highly delighted with this coun- try and working men can make money here easier than iu Ontario. On my return trip left Pilot Mound on 19th August and reached Winni• peg same evening. It is not unusual to see a yoke of oxen and a span of bronchos hitched to a binder. It rained that night in Winnipeg, and in walking the streets next morning 1 thought I had a homestead farm on one foot and a preemption claim on the other, with such wholesouled tenacity does the soil stick to ones boots. Went to the bay market, half breeds were asking $8 a ton for hay. It they,don't sell they lay down under their waggons and stay all night quite contented. Near the junction of the Assinaboia and Red rivers there arta some fine bridges and residences. 1 stayed at the Woodbine hotel where I saw Rance, Newmarch, iI. Steep, Shaw and others from Clinton. Took train for Portage La Prairie where 1 got a hearty reception from Captain W. Sheppard. Drove 6 miles out with him to his farm and saw the best crop of wheat in my travels. As far as the eyes could reach were broad acres of golden wheat which I think will yield close to 40 bushels an acre. It is no rarity to see three or four binders in the field each But- ting from 18 to 20 acres per day. There are good crops also about High Bluff and Poplar Point end all about harvested on the 24th August. Captain Sheppard was busy with the raoe track, races to come off on 27th August. The Portage is a nice place but too many half breeds to suit me. Mr. Sheppard is doing a good busi- ness in his hotel. Saw teacher Mc-. Lean, Mr. Swinbank and Mr. Henry from Clinton here. Returning to Winnipeg started for Port Arthur. We were delayed by a defective bridge. A heavy freight train pass- ed over it previous to our coming along, but in the meantime it had sunk 3 or 4 feet in the centre, so that we had to walk across it, some of the bridge men carrying the lady passenger's. Our train had to be hauled across by an engine on the farther side, then we speeded toward Port Arthur again, often not going more than 20 miles a honr. This is a terrible section for mountain and rock. Not much farming land about Port Arthur, but 1 saw very good potatoes, cabbages and other vege- tables raised iu the vicinity. ,Took' passage on the Campana at 6.P. m. Monday August 26. She had 20,000 bushels of wheat, 50 car loads of flour and 50 passengers. Got to the Sault at 7"next evening. While the boat was going through the locks went to the American side and saw street cars run by electricity. Now we are gliding along the bluo waters of Lake ' Huron bound for Sarnia. Early in the morning whens near- ing there the passengers were starts. ed by the uuearthly tooting of boat whistles. They jumped out of their berths pretty lively and found a ter- rible fog prevailing and some wrong signals given -so ;that a large boat bore right down for ours and struck usalaunching a good sized hole in the Capana but away up above the water line. The timbers of the bow of the other beat seemed to have suffered from the collision more, and she had to go back to Sarnia for re- pairs. The force of the collision would have been greater but that the engines of our boat were reversed in time. We landed safe at Sarnia thence by train to London and home to Clinton again, much pleased with my trip and the prospects of Mani•. toba. Yours, JOHN .JOHNSTON. Clinton, Sept 1st 1889, —Mr. .J D.
