Ensign Wakefield, who has leen in command of the Salvation army corps here these five months past, has receiv- ed marching orders and will >1.ecording- ly Farewell next Sunday. The S. A. system is itinerancy out and otit, each officer being allowed to remain only from three to seven months upon any field of Jabot', so that the Ensign has just about reached the limit. His stay was made the more lengthy here, no doubt, become° of the success which has crowned his labors is consequence of his devoted labor. He has also brought the Brase halal up to a high point of perfection, notwithstanding the many disadvantages under which he hero had to labor. Much as the come will miss him, the loss to the hand will he still greater, especially rf the incoming officer ie not an equally skilful musician. Ensign Wakefield has been in the active S. A. work for five years and it Says much for his un- selfish zeta that he continues in the ice which provides so poorly for he temporal wants end allows of no provision whatever for >t rainy day, Boom in the Cattle Trade.. Cattle dealers are realizing a tee- m>cndous bourn in Comedian cattle. The removal. of the three months' t{uoitatttine by the Ani(110an Govern- ment has opened up the American u>>trket to Canadian stock. In addi- tion >a vast market for grazer's is open- ing up in the North-West >18 a 1'e51111 of the reduced rates of the transporta- tion. By virtue of this the North-West ranCh>n('n find it more profitable to hely yearlings in Ontario instead of breeding their own cattle. A beast can be fattened at it very small cost in the Territories, seed for this reason the business is growing more and more profitable. Death of Thos. Farquhar. Many of the pioneers have this win- ter passed away from the scene of their struggle with and victory over the forest primeval. The latest to re- spond to the great Roll Call wits Mr. Thos. Farquhar, a veteran of seventy- eight year's, who died at the residence of his Son -in -flaw, Mr. Wes. Moore, Mondry noontime.

The deceased was a )member of the Church of England and a Conservative. The funeral obse• (totes, the interment took place in Clinton cemetery, were conducted by Rev, J. F. Parke. Parker's Profitable Poultry. Dir. John Parker, of Goderich town- ship, [makes good money out of poul- try, though not what alight be called at blowier, inasmuch 11s he has not as yet paid any particular attention to any particular breed, having an assort- ment of Plymronths, Leghorns and 1-Iatnhurgs.' Probably the reason for not paying more care to breeding is the fruitfulness of his Co>nmon hone which grille as often as not deposit eggs six inches roundabout and eight inches the either' way. Mr, Parker thinks this is doing quite as well as could tacklers with a pedigree.' Tit ducks Me. Parker is partial to Ayles- bm•ys nncl having >t good roaming ground is enabled to raise them to per- fection. Those ducks are great layers, 1� oz. egg not being >t rarity. Slaughter of Robins In the South. A "Travelling Salesman" writes as follows :—Who has not noted with re- gret the growing scnr'city of our beau- tiful robins each year? How• many have enquired as to the reason for this great decrease in the eanl(s of our feathered songsters? To these the fol- lowing facts may prove of interest : Robins we know, hatch their young in these parts, As fall approaches they rnigr>ite to the Soul h. There they are found in colonies, rind are hunted and slaughtered indiScrinlinately. You will fine) them offered 00 scores of market stands for sale; you will find them served at restaurants and way stations on the arrival of trains. I have seen titers picked by the dczens from under tete China trees, after hav- ing become intdecicared by the insipid and overripe juices of the fruit. Here are a fete facts that go to show the reasons for the scarcity of robins and answer the question annually asked on the arrival of spring: "Where are the robins 1" Shall they become ex- tinct? 1 pray Hots Salvation Arany Notes.

The Junior work has also made good progress and the Band of Love has been organized in connec- tion with (he Junior work. The Brass lettt(1 is also in a ;101better condition, and promises to he one of the best Army bands in this Peovin'e• The Officers' Quarters have been replenished with Nome needs, art kilos of furniture, etc., to the ('xtent. of $15.00 and, despite the h>l.r(lnese of the winter months, the local corps has done remarkably well. Nmlday next the Ensign and Mrs, Wakefield will hold their farewell meetings. Quite a number will be en- rolled as sr ldierM at the afternoon meeting. It is not known n. yet who the new officers will he, but it is hoped that the Christian sympathy arid prac- tical help of the general public will be extended to the offlcers and local corns. of the Salvation Army....( tom.

They were not of the heavy draught class, but rather a medium sized lot. and intended for "Bussers" and "Tram niers" in the world's )metropolis which makes haste slowly in the adoption of electricity as a motive power.
