Transient adTertUoment obarged at the rata «>t 8 tenta per line (or flrat insertion and 3 centu each subsequent innertioo. Sir CLarles and Lady Tapper •cclcbr&ted their golden vredding on Tuesday of last week, The presents received were very numerous and •costly. One, representing the gift of the Senate, was valued at consider- «bly over $1000. The Liberal Con- servative members of the House of -Commons also presented an equally valuable gift in gold. Wo invito farmers to test the Flesbertoo Rraiii market this year. If keen competition and all modern facilities for handling grain can create • good market, then we ought to have one here seccnd to none in western Ontario. Urain has not yet begun to move lively, and probably will not oiutil the prices Lave advanced soine- whate,and fall work is completed. Laat week oatH, peas and wheat took an upward jump of condiderablo propor tioiis and still liavo an upward iendeucy. Peas and oats are the staple product) in grain in this section, -and are now felclung 40 to 42 cents and 17 to 18 cents respcc^vely. Hon. J. Idrael Tarte has been, perhaps, the best applauded man in the Liberal parly for the past few months. Uc was the white robed angel of purity which has been specially designed by hearcn to cleanse tlio Augean (Conservative) stables of their lilth. He was a "knight of the nineteenth century" sent us to champion the cause of poli'ital purity ; the bwoiu enemy of eveiytliiiig savoring of iniquity in politics ; the great organizer of (juebcc, the man to whom the eountiy looked for great work of re- form iu the civil service. He "Jired" men right anil lift because they did not attuin to lii»8taiidard of righteous iicss ni administeiiug the work of tUeii departments. Ho had a great pose for scentiiiig out cori'upl and festering spots in the ConFCivative parly, and has been their terror for yo.irs. Tho Globe lately publishod a glowing ciilugium upon this gifted, good and great man, and raised him inmiiaEurably in our estimation. IJiit tho horror of it now when wo road Lis own adniission that ho re- ceived from \ic9 President Shaugli- liessyoftho C. 1". K. $;)00O for expenses in his own election iu L'Islet !

County Jail Figures Governor Jliller ot the jail has been engaged this week in the preparation of his annual report for the year ending Sept. 30th, and an interesting docuc- aient it is. Some of the figures given are very sufgestive. The total nuinhor of prisoners in custody during the year was 165- - made up of 14 in cu.-»tody on Oct, 1st, 18U6, and 151 committed since that time. Of the number committed during tho years, 138 were males and 13 females. Tho number commitlea under sixteen yeara of age was 16, tho number committed of sixteen years of age or over, 135. The nunilier comniitte- ed for the fir.-t time was C3, for the seo«nd time 44, for the third time 23, and for more than the third time 21. Twenty-two of the 15l were acquitted 'ni being brought to trial. Of those who were senle'ced C were sent to the Central, 8 Lo the Penitentiary, 2 to the Mercer Reformatory for women and 7 to the Reformatory for bojs, Eiaht wera- of unsound initid, 37 were illiterate, 73 wore temperate, 78 intemperate. Sixty- one were married and 00 unmarried .^s regards nationality, Canadians led with 80, tlie Eni-lish came next with .'i(, then the Irish with 17, wliilo there wore 11 â- Scotchman, 5 Aniericnns and 3 from other countptsH. The record of rctiKious denomination showx 43 Episcopalians, 30 PresbyteiiMis, 28 Roman Cuthulics, 22 MethiKlists and 18 of other denuniina- lions. The daily cost of each pris mor for rations was 9 cents 8i mdls. The cost of 66 of the piiaoiiers coiniuitted was dcfiayud by the t'overnnisnt and' the cost of Ofiwfuideffayi'lJby the mnnicipalit- ies. The g)sl expenditure for the vear, viz .- fur food, cluthing and ad' other items of niniutennnce, except salaries aid repairs, was f3023,48, while salaries amounted to J1800 and repairs to ^3(i-- mskiiig the total cost $4850,48, The greatest nuniksB confined at any one timo was S-i, the lenat 12, Though the iiutii5sr of prisoners this year was 27 less than b.st, the nggrci;»te wf days served was 506 grenler, sliowini; thtt tho •entuiicos must have been heavier this year than lott. â€" Times, On Munday Ciowa Attorney McKay went tu MaEkdulo t.u attend to the prose- cution oP an obi niOM named Win, Allen, charged with having carnally known a fourteen year old girl, Mary .lane 0»er- field.
