SIR WILFRID LAURIER’S RETURN TO ms NATIVE VILLAGE.

The following account of the reception tendered tho Canadian Premier on his re- turn to his native village, after being hon- ored at tho Courts of England and France was kindly sent us by one of our fair read- ers resident in Arthabaskaville :

“Alid the waving of banners Sir Wilfrid’s train glides into the station while the bands take up the sweet refrain of "Home Sweet Home.” Sir Wilfrid acoompaniea by Lady Laurier, comes forth from the bright and comfortable coach and returns many a warm clasp of the out stretched hand. They greet the glowing faces sur- rounding them with smiles of recognition. Then thej' are escorted to the Town Hall where they are met by ladies and gentle- men of the town and vicinity and where standing underneath a huge motto which reads, "Welcome to our greatest Canad- ian,” an address of welcome is read by the Alayor, Mr. Tourigny. Air. Laurier replies in a feeling manner, after which accom- panied by a number of clistiuguishej gentle- men of both political parties, followed by a (company of young men on horse the Pre- mier and Jjady Laurier are escorted to their residence in tho pretty village of Arthabaskaville.”

"Alid pleasures and palaces Though wo may roam Be it over so humble There’s no place like home.”

PUBLIC SCHOOL LEAVING.

A serious difficulty we have always had to encounter in our High School, has i juUtd from those scholars wlio

me to us only after passing the Public School Leaving Examination. Wo do not wish to deny the utility of this examination, for It serves the useful pur- pose of nffoidtng additional training to those scholars in the Public School work. If, however,the intention is to immediately

ter the Tliird Class Certificate Form of tho High Hchool with a view either to ob- taining a scholarly ediicatiou or to passing ono of the departmental examinations, then the case wears a somewhat different aspect. If wc jmt these scholars in tiio First Form, th.ey naturally resent such a proceeding, as th<' Public School Leaving is of the same value as the l)epartmenlal First Form examination, and Publicydiool Ijoaving scholars object to being associated with those who have just passed the En- trance. If, again, we ])ut them in the Tliird Class Certificate Form, we find tiu-y are not suffi’'ii-uily advanced for the class either in j;higlish or Alathematics, not to mention languages of whicli they arc in total ignorumio.

Wc believe that if parents realised liic- fact that the study of languages >hoiiM begin at the ago of thirteen at least, and were aware of tlie embarrasment that re- sults butii to teachers and pupils at High ISchool from PubliobohoolLuaving scholars.

lUisrcpvesentatiûn is stîH liin poli-.y of

the Tory opposiuon in Ontario.

Canada’s exports for July, §17,121,•

78(), an increase of §-','11:5,000 over the cor-

responding month of 1806. Wlio can doubt

that a season of prosperity is here ?

Five hundred new freight <;ars will in a

few days bo completed fur tlie C. P. It-

They were compelled to liavo these owing

to the large amount of traftic that awaits

them. More signs of approaching pros-

perity.

“ If I have more letters at the beginning

and end of my name than I had before, rny

name itself is unchanged ; if I have more

decorations on my breast, it is the same

heart as of old that beats within.”—Sir

Wilfrid Laurier at Quebec.

The political pot is boiling in the Con-

servative camp in Glengarry. There arc

no fewer than seven names mentioned as

likely to conic before the convention on the

14th and ono or two who arc considered

the (lark horses in the list are already

doing considerable canvassing.

Crop reports from Manitoba state tliat the

wheat crop is now safely garnered and the

estimates of the yield arc even higher in

some districts than was expected. The

largo crop, with high prices will mean

millions of dollars to the farmers of the

prairie province.

In their criticisms of the Hardy Govern-

ment, the Opposition leaders have not as

yet pointed out any of the improvements

they would bring into effect, should the

electors foolishly give them a lease of

power. Thus, while finding fault with the

present administration they practically

admit their inability to do better.

Whitney, Willougliby, Miscampbell and

Matheson are simply the tools of the Tory

leaders, who arc keeping a watchful eye on

Ottawa. A Tory government at Toronto

would be a decided advantage to them in

attaining this object. Patronage,Ac., would

bo made the price of dirty work on the part

of officials. The,people of Ontario, how-

ever, only await an opportunity of destroy-

ing these Tory “Castles in the air.”

Tlio British Government has sanctioned

tlio sending of a large punitive expedition

against Mad Mullah and his tribes on the

Indian frontier. The expedition will be

commanded by Gen. Lockhart,commander-

in-chief in the Punjab, who is now on his

way east after being on forlough in Eng-

land. He is a man of wonderful determi-

nation and great military skill, and there

is no douljt that he will stamp out all

troubles within the shortest possible time.

The Ontario Opposition in their efforts

to discredit the Ontario Government dis-

play the most glaring inconsistency. It is

a wel) known fact that the object of the

Conservative party is to capture the pro-

vincial strongholds and thus pave their

way to pow’er at Ottawa. To be sure the

Ontario Opposition wish to attain power

at Toronto, but the real aim of the whole

party is to bring back to the treasury

benches at Ottawa the very men who for

18 years carried on tlie worst regime of

boodling and misgovernment ever known

in this country. What do they care for

Ontario’s interests if they can only benefit

the party, of which they are the servile

followers ?

In 1M94 a piggery was established by the

Provincial Government in West York. It

was established in order to have the refuse

from various large institutions, under the

government’s care disposed of. Mr. St.

John one of the leaders of the Opposition

said the piggery cost the province Ç:J-7,ÜOO.

As a matter of fact the cost was only ;

for the piggery §1,52'.). For an acre of

land §1000 ; caretakers dwelling §1200 ;

sewerage and water supply §500. Total

§4,227. Mr. St. John said he had visited

the place and found only one hog there.

He did not state, however, that the reason

for this was because the drove had been

infected with hog cholera and liad

to be slaughtered. The place had

also to be burned down and rebuilt, at a

cost of §270y making a tatal expenditure of

§7020. The total for hogs, feed, salaries

and all would not come near §35,000. But

these are samples of Tory argument.

rnOVlNCIAL ISSUES.

One would think to read Tory news- papers in Ontario nowadays that we were cursed with the moat corrupt provincial government ever known. This is of course a repetition of the tactics used on former occasions, but having dispensed with their religious nags which they have attempted to use on former occasions, they concen- trate their attentions on the various de-

partments of the go\ernmcnt and to read their articles one would almost imagine they really believed themselves that cor- ruption and extravagance reigned supremo at the seat of government in Toronto. How unfounded are their assertions may be learned only by studying the facts of the case. The past record of tlio Tory governments in the Dominion and in the different provinces, certainly shows nothing to warrant our expecting anything but extravagance should that party attain power at Toronto, and even if the accusa- tions against the Ontario Government were anywhere near the truth, there would be little to gain by turning out the present government and replacing ii by one whose mornbers would be composed of men wlio have at all times connived at every wrong thing of which Toryism has been guilty in

Canada for the past twenty years. Blit, what is Mu re to support the statc-

inc'ius ihat the present Ontario Govern- ment ho.s been an incompetent or an extfivvagant ono ? Let u.s take tlie manage- ment of the public institutions of the pro-

vince, .and SCO v.’liether our best interests have i-i this connection been forgotten. 'J’liis sliould offer to a government at least as favorable a field, for crookedness as any other. But what do wo fnd ? On com- paring the cost of management with that of similar institutions, anywhere else in the civili/ied world, witli scarcely an e.x- ception, Ontario stands the lowest. The per capita cost per inmate of the Central Prison, Toronto, under the management of the Provincial Government is only §J05.20 per annum while the cost per capita at the Kingston penitentiary under a U’ory Government at that was §215.30. The coat per capita for similar in- stitutions was in all of the states from which we have statistics before us, larger than in Ontario, that of the state prison in New Jersy with 1000 inmates being the nearest to the Central Prison, Toronto, §170-00. Similar results are shown in the management of a!l our other public institutions. The salaries paid to officials are in all cases reasonable, and those who would look for a reduction in those, should a change of government take place, would be doomed to disappointment. Tory Governments liave not by any means achieved a reputation for cutting the salaries of civil servants who would do their dirty work, and it is not to bo expect- ed that \Vhitney would depart from the time-honored customs of his party.

Ill every sense the management of Ontario’s Public Institutions ever since the advent to power in 1872 of a Liberal Gov- ernment has been the best possible at the lowest possible cost. In other departments the affairs liavo been conducted in an exactly similar manner, a fact which will before the arrival of the general elections, bo proven to the satisfaction of the electors who, as tliey have done on every occasion that has been offered for the past twenty- five yeors, will return to power, the present able and capable administration.

OTT.VWA, Sept. 0.

The Premier lias once more resumed the helm of state, taking over the conduct of government affairs from the hands of the ablest lieutenant who lias ever supported a leader in Canadian political history. The contrast between the present administration and the combination of disorganized poli- tical adventurers that preceded it, stands out boldly and clearly in this respect. In Sir lUchard Cartwright the Liberal min- istry possesses a tower of strength and a terror to the enemy, and against whom the storms of(.)pposition rage in vain. One may look long and searchinglyinto thcTory ranks of to-day for a statesman embodying, in a measure, qualification such as those which characterize this eminent liiboral states- man, and yet all that would be found to re- ward the searcher is the same old familiar spectacle, so often seen in the past—the ‘nest of traitors,’ where each man’s hand is ever ready to turn against liis follow in the eager endeavor to exalt himself above his colleagues. It is a sorry and deplorable sight indeed, that meets the backward gaze, yet the fact revealed in ever a plain one and it will require many years of salutary experience of disappointments in opposition to purge the Tory party of its present affiiction and place it upon a healthy and more honest basis. Doubtless there are some who would think that these are merely strong words for a partizan, yet, even if they were, the fact nevertheless re- mains that the men who betrajed Bowell, are to-day prepared to play Judas with Tupper, and now only await a favorable opportunity to send him to his political oblivion. This fact is an open secret, and it seems to show the wretched state of the Tory party politic, diseased in every joint, which now drags out its bitter existence in the parliament of the present time. It is a divided house still and under its present conditions and loaders, bids fair to remain so for a long time yet to come.

The Premier has returned homo amid tlie acclaim of multitudes of both political parties, wearing the laurel of a bloodless victory. He has achieved a triumph for the whole people irrespective of party and has ushered in a new epoch in the relations of Canada to Motherland, giving us commercial freedom, and raising our country into the sphere of national entity in the world’s history. He has seized the opportune time and by a bold but wisely forseen step aided Great Britain -in her emancipation from tbe shackles of those treaties which impeded her liberty of action and which were liable to estrange her from the tried loyalty of her colonial offspring. Did he rest con- tent with the accomplishment of his great master piece of statesmanship, which exalts him above all of his predecessors and which places liim among the foremost statesmen in the Britisli Empire, he would hand down to posterity a fadeless fame as the author of another free nation among those of carlli. But there are other great issues to be worked out for the future of the Dominion, and, in spite of the false reports of the Montreal Liar to the contrary, the hand of Sir Wilfrid Laurier will still be the guiding hand to tiiis young nation, and his genius abide with it, let us hope, for many years to come. The silly report re- ferred to, sent out by tlie M. L. recently, concerning an alleged interview said to have been had with Mr. Sutherland, M.P., in which the latter is made to say that Sir Wilfrid proposed to retire from parliament- ary life and don tlie ermine of the Supreme Court of Canada, because, the report says, he is unpopular in Ontario, has been de- nounced by Mr. Sutherland as being a pure fabrication. Mr. Sutherland states further that Sir Wilfrid was never more popular in Canada than he stands to-day and his government was never stronger. This canard is on a par with many other false- hoods sent out from the same quarter and published from time to time in the columns of the Tory press in Ontario. They are issued for the purpose of deluding the faithful, who are ever ready to accept any- thing tlieir organs choose to print provided it is levelled against the Liberal Govern- ment, and who greedily swallow all the abominations tlie M. L. chooses to concoct for their special delectation. Nor does he stop at sending his fables to the Tory press of Canada only, but ho also furnishes another and traitorous class of fabrications to American papers particularly to such as are notoriously hostile to Great Britain, or to Canadian interests. For the sake of pecmiiary profit tliis creature betrays his country, anil peddles out his base fabrica- tiuns against Canada, or ihe master coun- try, for the edification and delight of the tail-twisters in Yankceland. Tliis is about the average type of Tory loyalty inCanada.

It is pleasing to note that this average type, liowever, has its limits, for there were limidreds of good Conservatives who, last wcck,xo5c above party bigotry and, in tlie spirit of true C.anadianisni, welcomed back tbe Canadian Premier as heartily as the Liberal thousands did. They testified to the Premier’s success in their country’s canso in equal enthusiasm with their Lib-. eral opponents, while on the other hand a certain Tory faction of the ‘average type,’ sat in solemn conclave, at Toronto, and voted to censure ono whom England de- lighted to honor and the acknowledged first among colonial statesmen. A wide sweep from sublime to ridiculous. On an occas- ion when party should sink from sight and country stand pre-eminent, and the Dom- inion as a unit, accord to its representative the tribute due to Canadian triuinpb, the action of the Toronto faction looms a re- pulsive smirch upon the fair picture of Canada’s welcome home to her returning representative. How marked the differ- once between the pretentions loyalty of Tories and that of Liberals as exemplified in Sir Wilfrid Laurier. It is a waving of the old flag by a howling election mob to serve the party exigencies in an election campaign when in Tory hands ; but it is an uplifting of the Empire’s standard for the high and noble purpose of national unity and advancement, far above parly strife and political creed, when in the strong grasp of the Liberal party. By the

hands of the Liberal party ft new nation

arises on this continent and shapes its

course ; and through that party’s true

fidelity to Crown and country,'the dignity

and progress of our national existence will

be conserved and promoted, until Canada

shall stand forth mighty in her own

strength and as a new power among the

nations.

THE CLALM JS ABSURD.

Washington, D.C., Sept. 4.—General l)uffield,Suiiorintend':it of the Co:ist an.l Gcodetie Survey, who has been promin- ently identified in determining the line between Alaska and the British North- west Territory, is not impressed with the probability of trouble lietvveen this Gov- ernment and Groat Britain over the Inca tion of tho Klondike gold fiefil.=. “It is true,” ho said, when shown tlio despatch from J’ort Townsend, quoting a Deimty United .States Marshal as saying, in effect, that the United States would assert control over that section, ‘‘that the location of tho lim» between the tw’o countries has not yet been formally ac- ceptccl, but the location has been very definitely determined. 'L’ho Mlstmeridan was de.signatod as tho boundary between Russia and (ircat Britain, and nothing remained after our neceptanco of tliat understanding but to locate the merid- ian. Tho location was made on the north at Porcupine river hy onr survey- ors, and in the vicinity of tho Yukon by the Canadians under Mr. Ogilvie, and their work there checked by our men. We found tliat where the Ugilvie lino crossed Forty-Mile crook it was 15-100 of a second, or six feet nine Indies too far cast, amt where it crossed the Y’uknn it was 14 seconds, or GIS feet, too far w’est. Thus it may be see» that the. lino located by Mr. Ogllvio is substantially correct. There Is no possibility of an error the correction of w’hich could place the new gold region in American territory. At the nearest point, .Daw.son City is fifty miles on tho Canadian side of the Ogilvie line.”

If the treaty now before the Senate providing for fixing tlio boundary is ratified, a commission will be aiipointod to perform thi.s duty. It is considered more than probable that the Ogilvie sur- vey will bo accepted.

Windsor, Ont., Sejit. -1.—A liorrible story comes here to-night from Whc.atley, a small town on toe I.ake Eric and Detroit River railway, about twenty miles from Windsor. On Wednesday Mrs. Enoch McLean went out in .search of a hog which had strayed away from tho premises, and while passing through the woods the animal suddenly rushed out, and, without warning, ferociously at- tacked her. Mrs. McLean w’as knock<‘d down, and when her screams had brought her daughter to the rescue the latter was horrified to discover that the briu-e had chewed up her morher’s left arm in a terrible manner, the flesh hang- ing from it in strips. Tho plucky girl, unarmed as she was, attemiited to drive the infuriated animal off, hut was, in turn, knocked down and trampled upon. She, however, managed at last to get rid of the brute, and then carried Jicr mo- ther to a place of safety. It wa.s discov- ered that Mrs. Mcij«*an’s arm w’as frac- tured at the wrist, and w’as badly lacer- ated from tho hand to the shoulder.

is doubtful if there is any other occup* Kion more trying to the constitution than mat of the thresher. Exposed to the rains jiii storms of the autumn season, and at I" 0 saiTTO time choked with the dust conse- lent upon threshing, he easily falls a prey disease. Sir. Jos. H. Davis, a resident tlie township of Wicklow, Hastings

iountv. follows the threshing machine for waac months every fall. For eight or nine fl^rs he was subject to attacks of inâam- tnalory rheumatism. The disease usually made its appearance in the fall, and con* <H;iued throughout the winter, causing not linly much suffering but great inconve- liience. Mr. Davis’ most serious attack bccurred during the winter of 1893. It first made itself manifest by the swelling

his right hand, and before 21 hours m\d passed the disease appeared to have wne through the whole system, and the ^s were swollen to an abnormal size, so luch so that the joints were not visible Kough the swellings. For ten months the Alible continued and during that period *. Davis was unable to put on his own 'otlics, and the pain he endured almost assctl comprehension. One doctor after •Hier was tried but without any bench* ml results. Then advertised medicines Ire tried but with no better success. " I in hardly say,” said Mr. Davis, “how inch money I spent on doctors and medi- ine.but it amounted to a considerable sum, ind yet I would most willingly have giyen Jiy farm to bo rid of the terrible pain I was

^rced to endure. But all my expenditures fc^ied of no avail, and I began to despair • a cure. At this juncture, acting on the advice of a friend, I began using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The first six boxes I us3d seemed from outward appearances to liave had no effect, and I felt almost like giving up in despair. I thought, how- ever, tliat possibly that was uot a fair trial for one in my condition and I procured a fmTher supply. By the time I had used three boxes more tliere was a considerable improvement noticeable, and from that out each day found mo growing better. I con- tinued using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills until I had taken eighteen boxes by wliich time every vestige of the pain had left me, and I

•as feeling in every respect a new man. j|Heve, too, that the cure is permanent I^Wiave not known what it is to suffer ^^rrhemnatisni since.” Tlwiil thus be seen that Dr. Williams’ -ok Pills released Mr. Davis from the

ainful thraldom of rheumatism at a com* nralivcly small expense after doctors and Ahcr medicines had utterly failea to give

oven a fair measure of relief. It is Ivious therefore that if Dr. Williams' ink Pills are given a fair trial they are j^’e to bring redief and a cure. Every box Lthc genuine Pink Pills has the trade nrk on the wrapper around the box, and Bpurcliaser can protect himself from im- pition by refusing all others.

W C T U MAXVILLE

The annual meeting of the W. C. T. U. of this place took place last Friday,Sept. 3. The attendance was good. After the de* votional exercises, the secretary gave the yearly report which was unanimously adopted. It showed that during the year a nice amount of work had been accom- plished, and of one thing wo are certain there never has been a year when the work has been so amicably and unitedly done.

During the year fourteen different de- partments of work have been taken up; IBG cans of fruit have been destributed to needy ones, beef, potatoes, shoes and flour has also been purchased to help those in need ; 235 hoquets of flowers have been sent to Ottawa to different hospitals there. Prizes have been given in three different schools for the study of physiology and temperance. Sixty-nine reports and papers have been sent to the press. During the year money has been sent to assist in lumberman’s work, journal, World’s Convention, Arme- nians and the Indian Relief Fund. After paying all departmental expenses we have a balance on hand of about $1G.

The election of officers then took place for offices for the coming year. The result was as follows :

President, Mrs A II Robertson ; IstVice- Pres, Mrs D Robertson ; 2nd Vice-Pres, Mrs W Barnhart ; Secretary, Mrs J W Weegar ; Treasurer, MrsC McNaughton.

The supt’s of departments are Lum- berman’s, Mrs Davidson ; Flower andFruit, Mrs Weegar ; Press, Mrs A H Robertson ; Fairs, Mrs F McEwen ; Hygiene, Ileridity and Social Purity, BIrs (Dr) Blnnro ; Narcotics, Mrs Barnhart ; Journal, Mrs J Davidson ; Literature, Blrs D McDougall ; Sabbath Observance, Mrs C McNaughton ; Franchise, BIrs J McDougall ; Parlor So- cials, Scientific Temperance, Unfermented Wine have also been taken up.

A delegate has been appointed to attend the Provincial Convention in Brantford in October.

We enter this new year fully expecting to accomplish in His name great things. In looking back over the past year, we must say this has been one in which all work has been amicably and unitedly done.

Men who ford iibernîly but jutiicio'us- ly ami give their animal.' prop.r cai-. may lai.so l.irg-.-r horses from medium eizod sire.s than other.s who u.sc larg< sires and «lanv', but do not fend lihoral* ly, arc carele.s.s about watering regular- ly (luring the winter or when the ani- mals are kept in the .stable and fail to provide them with comfortable quar- ters, including a good bed to lie upon nights. Size is a desirable attribute, but it must l;o combined witli quality in order to bring a good price.

A largo, coar.se, big headed, lopeaied, loose jointed horse, with a long back, lack loin and weak coupling is one of

tne narde.’^t selling animals tliat a man can bring to niniket, especially if faulty in the liinb.s, a.s such animals are liable to be. It sometimes happens that marcs of tlie above description, mated with compactly built, smoothly turned, round barreled and strong blooded stallions will produce foals that at maturity prove far superior to themselves in con- formation and other desirable qualities. When animals so bred, and which arc themselves of good conformation, are put to breeding, they are very apt to produce offspring which throw’ back and have tho .same undesirable charac- teristics which their ungainly ancestors posses.«ed. For this reason farmer.s should be very careful in selecting their breeding stock to secure animals whoso ancestors, both uour and far, were of tho right type.

Another point should also be borne in mind. It i.s ihi.s—a marc or stallion which has plenty of si'zo, but which comes fr-om small sized anco.stors, is more liable to produce foal.? that will be small at maturity than those from medium .sized animals. Tho produce in most cases is more liable to follow the type of tho family than tho individual. Good brood mares arc now so plenty and cheap thatcoar.se, ungainly animals should be discarded cuiireJy for brood purposes. Well bred stallions, that are good individual.s, are so plenty îiud standing at fee.s so low that there i.s no excuse for any farmer to breed to an inferior one. The poorest kind of econ- omy that any brec'der can practice is to buy a coaise rnaro cheap and breed her to a common kind of stallion bt^cause his servicft fee is low. Men who follow this practice will surely come to grief and eventually quit the business iu dis- gust, w itli empty pockets. Good sized, compactly built, hand.-:ome, stylish ani- mals that cun road along from seven to ten milen an hour will sell quickly now at fair prices. Tliere is a ready market for then), both at home and abroad.

Other countries have sent to America for (aivulry horse.s (luring tlie past few months. Of cour.s(i such animals as are suited for cavalry service do uot com-

mand fancy prices. But a small propor- tion of tli(^ animals raised in I'lng- land would riairc good cnvalry liorsc.s. They are delicimt in si;'.eai;(l substance.

A strong dash of tlie right sort of thorouglibred is a vaiimble factor in a cavalry liorso, and there is much less of that in tlie horses cf the north than those of Kentucky and some other lo- calitic.s. A good back, strong loin, stout limbs, the best of hocks and good fact are important requisites iu lior.scs which carry cavalry soldiers and their equip- ments.—Southern Stock Farm.

Prim V.’iniiine Cow aiul lînllof tho Famous Hornless HIHCU Breed.

A reporter who undertook to (vrite concerning cattle should have known enough at a glance to discover that tho one ladonged to a beef breed, tlie other to a dairy family.

Certainly no one with half an eye could fail to perceive tho great beef qualifie.? of the line, cow iu tho illustra- tion. Ghe is the old Abbess of Turling- ton, in lier day tiie most faniou.s Aber- deeu-Angus dam of the American branch. Hlu5 attained a size remarkable for tlii.s breed. Her weight at her best was 2,100 pounds, showing tliat, though tiiey.muturi' quickly, tlio Mack honiles.? cattle are. capable of growing as heavy a.s any other beef hrc'od.

Tho WorU Ilorso In Summer,

The hot weather wo have at this time, witli tho work they are expected to (io, makes it rather hard on llic teams, and they require good treatment if they arc kept in thrifty condition.

A saf(> rule is to feed a hor.=-;) in pro- portion to Jiis size and the labor he is expected to perform. A horse that is kept liard at work .steadily every day rcLiiiires more feed daily than one that is idle, iïome hor.sea seem naturally to rocpiiro more feed than others, and for this reason their condition must, to seme extent at leu.sf, determine the quantity of food given.

But it should bo remembered that good condition is not fat. A horse that is kept at liarcl work in snmm(T should not be fat. Such a condition is detri- inental to hi.s capacity for work. What is wanted is hard, tough, cla.stic mus- cle, which may bo actively worked without tiring the horse and w’ithont exhaustion of the. vital forces. A hor.se that is well fed, not overfed, can bo kept at st(‘:i(ly work nearly everyday in the year without detriment. He should have what ho will eat up clean of sound, wholesome, nnfritiens muscle forming and lionc making material. Ho should l:avo phmfy of ccol, fresh water. He fliGuld have comfortable quarters and be groomed regulariy.

It will help in making the horses comfortable if tho liarnes.? and collar.? fit properly, if care is taken to pull the collar.? away from their shoulder.? when they are given a little rest in the field and to have them washed at noon and at night. After tla y are cooled off at night they will enjoy their nigh.f’s rest much belter if tliey are carefully groomed. No matt<'r liow* well fed a lior.''-e may be, if cave is uot taken iu grooming and in making him comfort- able he will not bo kept in the best con- dition when at hard daily work.

Harvr.st work is usuaily h-.ird on tho teams as well as on the men, and it •\vill be a good plan tjail.r.v them a few day.?’ re.st a=:so'.!n ai^ the I; •.rvesf work is finished. Turn th< ;n ’Mto a jia.sture and let them i< t, /-iving a light f'-cd cf grain night and as it i.s rarely a good ]i!an to make loo ladical a cliaiigv: of feed. A lause kept in gc.od condiuon will do mev'» a.ml bettor w<;rk at less cost to the owner riian an ill con- ditioned animal.-—L:. Louis Republic.

THOSE LUNG WORMS.

Symptom» of Tills Ailment In Sherp nnd X,Ambs and Its Cure.

A writer in The Breeder’s Gazette describes a trouble among his sheep, ns follows:

“I would like to consult yon about a flock of Shropshircs tliat I have. They are in miserable condition, .say a fourth of the flooki They are troubled with a cough, fall off, tlieir bellies seem to try to rca-h their backbones, but they hang on and do not die. Tho disca.se seems to attack lambs worse than older sheep. Tlicro is some evidence of catarrh and a litrlc running at the nose. I am inclined to think that it is worms in the lungs. The .sheep eat •well but get no good from what they cat. They have some ticks. -Wonld you advise that this flock be .sheared at onc(*, dipped and treated with powder.s? There is some slimo in their dung.”

Professor John A. Craig of the Wi.s- con.siu experiment .station replies:

‘Tt is altogether likely that the trou- ble witji these lamb.s is due to the rav- age.? of tho lung worm. The time to kill this worm—and it is about the only time that it can be effectively killed— is when it first makes it.s presence known in tlie early fall mouths—Augu.st or September. At that time and just after weaning a few lambs in the bunch that has been weaned will become thin, andwlK'u driven a little cough slightly. That is tlie time to get right after the worm with turpentine, and it is advisa- ble to treat all the lambs at the same time. That has been our practice and we have been succe.ssful in bringing the lambs back to a thrifty condition. But if they are left go until they reach tho condition described by onr corre- spondent I do not think that any pow- der or other remedy will ho of any use iu restoring their normal growth. Bly advice to our correspondent would be to sell t'nesc lamb.s, for they t\’ill always be small and an eyesore, and about Au- gust watch for the recurrence of tliis trouble and as soon as the first symp- toms are noticed treat all the lambs to throe or four doses of turpentine, if that number of doses is fouud nece.ssary to stop the coughing. In my experience with .sheep I have never known a fall that I have not had some caso.s of this kind to treat, and yet our lamb.s have always turned out thrifty after the tur- pentine troatin(!Ut. The whole point iu its use is to u.so it before the trouble ha.s advanced too far. As a dose I aim to give each lamb a tcaspoonfnl iu three or four times a.s much milk. U.sually three doses given in one week cures the most obstinate cases. At the time I have mentioned sheep are very .shy in tho matter of eating powder.s, and be- cause of this and the effectiveness of the turpentine I have always relied on tho latter.

“In r(*gard to tho treatment of the 8WCS for ticks I wonld advise .«hearing them as soon as the weather and the lambing permits. Then, aft(*r the ewes and tho lamb.s have run together for about two week.s, dip all the lambs thoroughly. It v.’ill be found that the ticks liave passed from the owes to the lambs, in wliich case it is only neces- sary to dip the lambs. Tlic latter are also mucli f'asier handled than the ewes thoroughly, and for that puvpo.se every breeding and feeding farm should have a dipping vat. ”

The hog comes a.s near being useful to man in every part of him as an ani- mal can be. An extensive industry is curried on in making pepsin from tho lining of hi.s stomach. The man who has tho digestion cf a hog is supposed to be thoroughly well, and some people believe that if they sw’allow the (extract of tho hog’s stomach lining they will have ,«uch digestion.

Th(3 quarantine law against Texas fevLT i.s a serious drawback to cattle buyers and shippers in the. .southwest. Tliere are now as many as 2,500,000 I'ceves south of the danger lino waiting to go north, while north of the lino bocvc.s are scarce. Borne of our scientific farmers have discovered that the Texas fevrr i.s due to the cattle lick which in- ft'sfs beef animals in the .soutli and .southwest. It has been found that dip- ping them in a preparation devised at one of the soutiiern experiment station? will effectually destroy the fever tick.

C. L. CONVENTION

The annual convention of theC.L. Union was opened yesterday at ^'anklGck Hill and continues until this evening. A largo number of endcavorers from various points in this county passed through here yester- day morning en their way to \ ankicek Hill. The programme is a dcciiledly in- teresting oue and much good will be sure to follow ns a result of the convention. A full report will appear in our next issue.

A FINE MONUrdENT

This week Messrs. McIiOan, Kennedy A' Robertson, of the Slaxvilio .Marble Works, erected a magnificent monument of red granite to the memory of tlm lato A. J. Grant, Esq., in the Presbyterian cemetery at Williarastown. The monument is one of the finest to be seen in tlie county. It is about fourteen feet in height and is finish- ed on top with a bcniitifid draped urn. The stone for excellent workmanship and artistic design, reflects the greatest credit of the firm who placed the monument in position.

DUNCAN McKERCHEU

It is with deep regret that we this week announce the death which occurred on Wednesday of this week of Mr. Duncan McKercher, of Athol, Ont. Although I^Ir. McKercher who was but ‘2i) years of age had not been in the best of health for some time his death was most une.xpected. The funeral took place yesterday to the Max- ville cemetery and was largely attended, a fact which showed the high esteem in which the young man was held. We ex- tend to the bereaved friends our deepest sympathy.

THE MAXVILLIO FAIR

The fine weather of the past few days gives promise that during the îiext few weeks all the local fairs which arc to be held will liave the most desirable weather. The ûlaxville fair on tlie ‘29th and ilOth days of September will this year eclipse those of former years and should the weather prove favorable nothing will pre- vent a lai’ge attendance from being present. The management of the îlaxvillo Fair at least deserve every success for the up-to- date manner in which their annual exhibi- tions are conducted.

GRIST MILL SIT]-: FOR BALE

We would call our readers attention to the advertisement appearing iu another column announcing the fact that the grist mill site and privileges in this village are for sale. It is unnecessary for us to point out the advantages of the site as a field for investment. They are self evident. We have a farming country hereabouts whose custom grinding alone would be a Klondike for any one operating a mill in the town, while the grinding of outside wheat in addition would make the investment a most profitable one.

WM. McNAUGHTON

As wo go to press we learn of the death on Wednesday evening of I\Ir. Wm. Me- Naughton, of the 4th con. of Cliarlottcn- burgh, at the ago of 78 years. Pdr. Mc- Naughton was one of the most highly re- spected residents of that townsliip. He leaves to mourn his loss a family of four sous and three daughters, one of the sons being Mr. Allan F. McNaughton, of this place. The funeral takes places to-day to the cemetery in the 3rd concession of Char- lottenburgh. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Mr. IMathoson, of Mar- tintown. Wo extend our deepest sympa- thy to the bereaved family.

THE OTTAWA FAIR

One reason why the Ottawa exhibition each year proves an unqualified success is because of the amount of printer’s ink they use. This, of course, would be of no benefit if the attractions advertised weren’t given, but neither would the attractions cut much ice if they weront’t so extensively adver- tised. We are this week in receipt of a tasty little programme got up in pamphlet shape announcing the various attractions Ac. given. They will this year surpass those of all former years ami from every present indication there is no doubt that the attendance will exceed that of all form- er years.

THE VANKLEEK HILL EXHIBITION

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week will be held at Yankleek Hill the annual exhibition of the county of Prescott Agricultural society. TJie fair is always one of the best county exliibitions in the province and this year will be no exception to the rule. Special attractions are offered, the prijio list is a liberal one and with fine weather we have no hésita- in predicting for the Vanklooii Hill Fair a a large umnbcr of people. Tliat it will be from every other point of view a decided success 18 a foregone conclusion.

SEATS TO BE RESERVED

' The Grand Stand at the Ottawa Exhibi- tion Grounds is being enlarged to a seating capacity of ten thousand. On some occa- sions in the past many were mmble to get seats, and it is with a view of providing ac- commodation for all, that the stand is now being extended. The directors have also decided to reserve seats this year on the same system as is followed in Opcrallouses, and the seats, which are two feet wide and numbered, can now be secured for any afternoon or evening during the exhibition. Visitors to the fair from outside places will no doubt appreciate this move on the part of the directors.

CROSS-ANDERSON

At the MethodisL^urch, Yarker, Ont., on Monday, September 1st, Dr. Milton F. Cross, of Oshawa, Ont., was united in mar- riage with Miss Bertha Currie, second daughter of Rev.James Anderson,of Yarker. After partaking of a delicious lunch at the parsonage the happy couple left amid showers of rice and the good wishes of their friends for Buffalo, Rochester and the Eastern States, whore the honeymoon will be spent. Mr. Cross is well and favor- ably known in Glengarry, having taught school for some years in H.S. No. 1 Locluel and S.S. No. IS Glen Roy. He attended Yankleek Hill High School and is a native of the township of Caledonia. The NKWS joins with bis many fricjids in extending hearty congratulations.

BURGLARY-AT KINGSTON

On the night of Sunday, August 29th, 1897, after Rev. John Boyd, pastor of Eion Presbyterian church, Kingston, liad retired he was awakened by a noise outside. lie immediately arose and looking out of the window discovered a man prowling around, who immediately made his escape, lie re- turned to bed and lay awake for some time. Mi s. Boyd was also awake for some time and both thought they heard a shrill whistle some ten minutes after Mr. Boyd had been first awakened. Both, however, slept and later on in the night, the house was entered, every room was visited and many articles were taken, without awaken- ing either of the sleepers who believe they were drugged by the burglars. Although considerable stuff was taken, many articles which might Iiave beeii taken were left, among them a watch belonging to Mrs. Boyd. Rev. Mr. Boyd is a native of the township of Lochiel.and is a brother of ûlr. Arch’d Boyd, of this place.

McGiLLivRAY—MCLENNAN

On Wednesday of this week a pleasing event took place at the residence of Mr. Duncan McLennan, of Laggan, wlion his sister. Miss Christy xVnn, was united in marriage with Mr. Thos. D. I^IcGillivray, of lot No. 24-Gth Con, Lochicl. The bride was assisted by MissClivisty-'.-VÎ^IcGillivray of Kirk Hill while a like service was ren- dered the groom by Mr. I^Ialcolin McRae of lot No. IG-.'jth Con. Lcicliiel. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Mr. Mcl'iCau of "Kirk Hill, and at'the conclusiou of the ■ hanpy ceremony all sat down to a sumiHu- ous dinner provided for the occasion. After doing ample justice to the good tilings the afternoon was plea.santly spent. Early iu the evening the happy couple, accom- pamed by a unmber of friends, drove to

GRIST MILL MEETING 'Die meeting which was called for last

Tiiursday evening for the purpose of con- sidering "the taking of steps to have the grist mill rebuilt was held in Mr. A. L. SinUli’s office and was attended by a large number of onr citizens. The chair was occupied by Reeve BIcArthnr who stated the object of tlie meeting and pointed out the advantages that must accrue to the town, throngli the starting up again of this industry. The matter was pretty fully discussed and on some points all had to agree. No one can fail to notice wliat a draw back to business the absence of a grist mill is, while there was not the slightest doubt as to the advantage of having one. The question to be considered by an inves- tor would be, whether the investment would prove a profitable one. As to this there could be no doubt. An efficiently managed mill, even of a very limited capacity, could not fail to pay well. In considering the advantages to be offered any one desirous of rebuilding and operat- ing tlic mill it was thought that the pres- ent standing offer of the council to grant ten 3'Cars exemption from taxation should be sufficient encouragment for any one to go ahead with the mill.

COUNCIL MEETING

The Beptomber meeting of the village council was held in the office of Mr. A. L. Smith, clerk, on Tuesday evening of this week. The minutes of the meeting of the Court ol Revision and of the regular meet- ing for August were read and confirmed. The following aocounts were then consider- ed and passed : P. A. lluot 8-0.5 J.B. Sauve J.OO Tlios Lawson 74.28 P. Leslie 30.09 Pilon Bros 1.8-Ô D. J. Macdonell 55.7o S. C. Macdonell 70 D. Robertson 3.75 I \Vilson 15.11

The matter of making changes in the construction of hosetower from what was called for by contract was discussed, and it was decided that a few minor changes bo made. The amount of work done since last meeting on hosetower was estimated at glOO, and it was decided to allow the con- tractor at present the sum of $300, being 10 per cent, less than the estimate. The question of deciding the levy for this j'ear’s taxes was postponed until next meeting. The selling of the old lock-up was also con- sidered. but nothing was done in the mat- ter. Q‘'he members of the council also pro- mised to look up suitable limber for a foun- dation for the dynamo at power house. The meeting then adjourned.

HUOT—CriAKLEBOIS ^ One of the most interesting events that has occurred in Alexandria for some time took place on Monday morning of this week when Mr. Jos. Iluot. one of xVlexandria’s most popular young men, took unto him- self a life partner, in the person of Miss Josie Charlebois, youngest daughter of the late Auguste Charlebois, Esq.,of this place. The ceremoaywas performed inSt.Finnan’s Cathedral, the mass being celebrated by Rev. l’xVbbé Poitras. Precisely at half past eight the bride accompanied by her brotlier, Mr. Paul Charlebois, who gave her away, marched up the aisle to the strains of “ The Handicap March.” Im- mediately preceding the ceremony two beautiful hoquets presented by Mrs. J. A. Macdonell, (Greenfield), were sent in to the liappy bride and groom. The former who was most becomingly attired in a tailor made costume of bluish grey amazon cloth was assisted by Miss Naomi Huot as bridesmaid, while Mr. A. Matte ably ful tilled the duties of groomsman. The bridesmaid looked charming in a costume of navy blue velvet. During the ceremony the choir, with Miss Emma Charlebois presiding at the organ, rendered a number of pleasing selections. “ Ave Maria ” was sung by Mrs. J. A. Macdonell (Greenfield) and “ 0 Cor Amoris ” by Mrs. J. A. Mac- donell and Mfss May Burton in their usual happy manner. At the conclusion of the ceremony the happy couple marched down the aisle while the organ pealed forth “ The Honeymoon March.” Mr. and Mrs. Huot accompanied by a number of their friends then drove to the Green Valley station where they took the west bound train for Smith Falls, from whence they went to Ogdensburgh, Toronto and Niagara Falls, these points having been selected at which to spend the honey moon. The happy couple carry with them the best wishes for futuro happiness and pros- perity of their many friends, none of whom are more sincere in their wishes than the Glengarry NEWS.

4 MCARTHUR—MACPHERSON

A fashionable wedding was held at the residence of the bride’s father, Lancaster, Ont., on Wednesday, the 8th inst., when Mr, John D. McArthur, lumber merchant, of South Lancaster, Ont., was united in marriage with Miss Lillian, second daught- er of D. M. Blacphersou, Esq., ÛI.P.P. The groom was assisted by Mr. J. S. Kay- side, while the Misses ilarkiuss and Louise Maephersou made charming bridesmaid.^. Tlie ceremony was performed by Rev. A. Graham, of Lancaster, in the library of Mr. Maepherson’s residence, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Among the decorations was a handsome fioral bell beneath which the nuptial knot knot was tied. There were present up- wards of thirty of the nearest relatives of the bride and groom, all of whom at the conclusion of the ceremony sat down to a recherché wedding breakfast. The presents which were costly and numerous included two generous cheques from Mr. Archibald McArthur, father of the groom, and Mr. D. M. Maepherson, father of the bride. The latterwas most becomingly attired in a costume of white duchess satin, with court train and trimmed with chou bows and orange blossoms. The skirt and bodice were trimmed with brussels point lace, pearls and festoons of orange blossoms. The vest was of muslin de soie, with veil and a wreath of orange blossoms, bold in place by a star of pearls, the gift of the groom. She also carried a boinjuet of white roses. The bridesmaids presented a lovely picture, dressed in organdie muslin over yellow, trimmed with white chiffon and plaid ribbon, with pearl pins, the gift of the groom. They too carried beautiful hoquets of wliite and yellow roses. Among the relatives from a distance who were present were I\Ir. and Mrs. P. McArthur, of Que.; i\Irs, J. Y. Cameron, of Toronto lUr. D. McArthur and Mrs. Campbell, Chi cago ; J\Ir. A. G. McBean and Miss Me Bean, of Montreal ; Mrs. D. McBean and Mrs. ^'eith, Montreal. The happy couple left tliat evening for an extensive tour through the western states, carrying with them the best wishes of their many friends. Congratulations.

A PLEASANT GATHERING

On Friday afternoon of last week a num- ber of the young men, and for that matter some of the older men of oar town, liaving learned that it was the intention of Mr. Jos Huot, one of Alexandria’s most popular young men, to join the army of benedicts, on the following Monday, put their heads togelher with the object of doing something in the way of showing the high esteem in which • Joe” was held by bis many friends. What they did, was done quietly and al- though many understood the knowing looks and secretive movements of those most deeply interested, little was said until even- ing, when upwards of forty of “Joe’s” friends took quiet possession of the resi- dence of I\Ir. P. A. Huot. Shortly after entering Mr. Geo. Campeau, on behalf of those present, stepped forward and read an address iu French to Mr. Jos. Huot, to wliieh that gentleman made a feeling reply. He was pleased to see so many of his friends present, particularly so as all had come to extend to himself their best wishes on tlie step ho was about take. The ad- dress was also accompanied by a well filled parse,to which the friends had contributed. iMr. Huot also stated that he would long rcmenibcr his Alexandria friends, and in- vited all to malce themselves at home in his faliier’s house.

OUR COMMERCIAL LETTER. MoNTitKAi., Bept. 8lh.

The pause in the grain and produce mar- kets noted last week has not been broken into. It is true that the speculative grain interests are constantly on the move and with a shortage of something like (10,000,000 bushels in Europe’s wheat supply there is still the feeling that the excitement is not over by any means. But iu other lines there is no stir to speak of and the bulls appear tube taking a short breatliing spell.

The teudoucy of the Chicago wheat mar-

ket of late has been generally upward and the price still keeps within a few cents of the dollar mark. Local wheat prices have been correspondingly firm, the features be ing the lirmess of holders and the good foreign demand. Up west Manitoba wheat is now being harvested quite freely and millers at the different country points are paying the farmers all the way from 80c to 83c a bushel for No. 1 hard. At Fort William the same grade of wheat, but only that of the old crops is held at $1.04, Fort William. The highest price asked for wheat in Canada is probably at Goderich $1.09 being the figure. Estimates of the Manitoba crop are now ranging all the way from 18,000,000 bushels to 2.5,000,000 bushels. One miller says 14,000,000 bushels, but being a chronic bull that is understood. The feeling is certain, how ever, that counting the crop of the Terri- tories the Northwest ought to yield 25,000,* 000 bushels at the inside.

Produce matters have been rather tame this week, and it has on the whole been somewhat disappointing to factorymen During the last couple of days, though the feeling has been a little firmer and buyers at the leading boards were bidding more money than some timo ago. Some despatches say that factorymen arc holding at 10c. It is just pos sible that the figure may be paid and in the near futuro at that, but certainly present cable prices do not warrant any such a figure. At the same time this fact is not liable to always count as half the season prices here have been relatively higher tlian those in tlie consuming market.

The offerings of new crops peas and oats this week have tended to create a little easier feeling in the market, but on the wholo no great change has transpired, The demand keeps very fair anej. the volume of actual business js not bad. Wheat, however, is probably the most active grad© in the market being in fine demand for exr port, yesterday and to-day especially wljen probably 200,000 bushels changed hands. The following gives a fair idea of values ; Oats, old 28| to 28^C Oats, new ,..,....00 to 2,8c Peas, old, No. 1 00 to ôOe Peas, old, No. 2 58 to 58c Peas, new. No. 2 50 to 57o Rye 53 to 53|c Barley feed 32.4 to 33c

There has been a big export demand for Iffanitoba flour this week as well as for Ontario which, however, is not sold in Montreal but direct with the mills. The Manitoba people have reported numerous sales for Glasgow, but also for London and Liverpool. In a local way trade has not been very active. People both west and east are evidently stocked ' up pretty well and it will be some time probably before they buy to any extent again. Values are as follows :—Winter wheat patents at $.5 to $5.25 ; straight rollers, $4 75 to $1.90 and in bags, $2.25 to $2.35 ; best Manitoba strong bakers’, $5.50 ; second do., $5. and and low grades, $3.15 ; Hungarian patents, $5.90.

The market is quiet. No.l hay is quoted at $11 to $12.-50 and No.2 at $9.50 to $10.50 per ton in car lots on track.

Rolled oats are quoted in barrels at $3.30 and in bags at $1.00. Market very <juiet.

There is a fair trade doing at $11 to $11.50 for Manitoba bran and $1C for On- tario bran in bulk. Shorts from Manitoba are quoted at $12 to $12.50.

As far as actual spot business is concern- ed there is very little doing. Finest On- tarios might be bought on the basis of 9^c and finest (^uebecs 94c, but even at these figures there are not many purchasers to be found. Bhipments of cheese, however, are still very large and away ahead of a year ago. The public cable is unchanged at -15 shillings.

There is not a great deal doing in the market just at present and buyers are pay- ing the following prices for good sized lots : Finest creamery 194 to 00 Boconds 184 to 00 Dairy butter 12| to 13

The receipts of eggs have been larger tills week and with no special improvement ill tlie demand the feeling has been a little easier, Cboico candled eggs are quoted at 124c to 13c, No. 1 at 114o to 12c and No. 2 at 94c to 10c.

Liv]-; STOCA

There was a little easier feeling in the market this week, in fact prices are off about }c a pound. Choice cattle are now selling at 4c, good at 34c to 3',*c, fair at 2]c to3|car.il common 2c to 2.4c. Prices of sheep are aboutstcady at ife to 3 ;[c ami lambs arc quoted at 3c to Ic.
