Sir Richard warned the people to be prepared for any change that might occur in the times, to lay up in prosperity for the want of adversity. At the same time he predicted that in ten years, as things now went, the vol- ume of trade will have swelled from $400,000,000 to $1,400,000,000; the reven- ue from $60,000,000 to $160,000,000; the surplus from $15,000,000 to $30,000,000. "It is," said he, "well within the the possibilities; it is a thing°that has been done again,and again in the country to the south of us." TO ADVERTISERS.

There is a law regulating the spraying of trees,which is not generally observed, viz: That no spraying of trees is to be done until the blossom is gone. The too early spraying of trees is the cause of great mortality among bees, and we feel sure that all that is necessary is to have attention called to the matter and the thoughtless or ignorant will do their spraying at the proper time.

This week we are Balled upon to re- cord the death of another old and highly respected pioneer of the township of Turnberry in the person of Mr. John Powell, who died on Suuday last in his 87th. year, Deceased was one of the earliest pioneers of Turnberry and was very widely known audhtghly respected.

In October 1859 he moved to Turnberry, where he resided continuously up to the time of his death. Six more children were ad- ded to the family after his :arrival in Canada. Deceased was very active among the early settlers as a clearer of land. Ho cleared three farms of his own. He was a man with a strong con- stitution and enjoyed good health until about one week prior to his death. His last illness was of bronchitis and only lasted about seven days, and he died with hes family at his bedside.

KERR I PEOPLE'S POPULAR STORE A Drain Award Case. Judge Klein of Walkerton held Divis- ion Court in the town hall here on Thurs- day of last week. The first case entered was by Mr. Dawson against the Town- ship of Culross over a drain. , Mr. D. Holmes of Wingham appeared for Mr. Dawson and won the case, the award being thrown out. This case held con- siderable interest for the farmers in the south-western part of the township who were present in large numbers. -Tees - water News. Sir Richard Cartwright emphasized a few parts in his budget address. He is still the keen fivancial critic, the one who punctures many a fallacious argu- ittent with his incisive speech. The dif- ference between a' revenue and protec- tive tariff is thus explained. The one added to the treasury of the country and enabled the government to carry on 1. necessary public works, and the other added coffers to the manufaoturers and ,I swelled their dividends. Which would { the average elector prefer? The oppo- sition's contention, that the debt of the country had been enormously increased per capita, was erroneous, because it was figured on a population of nearly a milli- on less than it actually was. Protection, S` )Richard pointed out, would not make the people rich. They had one experience with it, under Conservative rule, and it was most disheartening. One experiment was enough.

Toronto, May 5 -There was a fair run of cattle at the market this morning,but business is still checked so far as the ex- port trade is concerned, owing to the continuance of the strike among 'the 'longshoremen at Montreal. "We cannot move our cattle yet. As soon as the strike is settled there will be a movement of cattle east and the prospects are that there will be a pretty good demand for export cattle," said a prominent buyer. There was a pretty active butchers' market, and prices were, if anything, a little higher than last week for choice pinked butchers' cattle. Iso several cases $4.75 was paid for picked cattle.. All the local wholesale seem to bp wanting cattle and there was very little left un- sold. A few rough, heavy cattle were not wanted, but generally the market was pretty well cleaned up. Loads of good butchers' cattle sold at $4.25 to $4.40; choice lots, $4.50 to $4.60; picked, extra choice, not too heavy, at $4.75; rough, heavy cattle were slow at $3 to $3.50. There is a fair demand for light stock- ers at steady prices,$3.50 to $3.75, Short keep feeders,about 1,200 pounds at $4.66. There is a fair demand for milch and prices to -day were firm. Good veal calves are wanted. There was a light run ot sheep and lambs and everything was sold out early. Prospects are good for grain -fed ewes and lambs. Hogs have taken a drop, and were quoted to -day 15e to 20c lower. Best selects were $6.25 and lights and fats $6, The total run for the day was 74 cars with 1,t69 head of cattle, 222 sheep and iambs, 907 hogs and 175 calves.
