Saturday, Sept’r 22nd, 188i. Death of-the President. The long' agony is: at length over and President. Garfield is numbered with the dend. At 9 o'clock on Monday night he was as quii-t and in as good condition as he had been at any time during the day. and there was then so little apparent danger of any immedintn change for the worse that a despatch was sent to the President's sons at Wil- liams College, conntermanding a pre- vious dcspatch which summondcd them to their father's bedside. At a quarter past 10 the patient awoke from sleep. and, placing his build upon his heart, said to General Swaim: “ Oh. Swaim, what a pain I Can't you do something for me, oh, Swaim? " Dr. Bliss was instantly sent for. and upon enterng the room saw at once thnt the end was approaching. The other physicians and the President's wife and daughter were then called. and at 10:35 the sufi‘ererdied. A post mortem examination was held on Tuesday in the presence. of a num- ber of physicians. the operation being performed by Dr. Lamb, of the Army Medical Museum, Washington, and it. Was found that the bull. after fracturing the right eleventh rib, had passed through the spinal column in front of the spinal canal, fracturing the body oi the first. lumbar vertebra). driving a number of small fragments of bone into the udjnccnt. soft parts and lodging be- low the pancreas. about two inches and a hall to the left of the spine and be- hind the peritoneum. where it had be- come completer encystetl. The imme- diate cause of death was secondary hmmorragc from one of the mcsenteric arteries adjoining the truck of tho ball, the blond rupturing the peritoneum and ncurly a pint escaping into the abdomi- nal cavity. The remains of the deceas- ed were conveyed from Long Branch to Washington on Wednesday and will be carried on Friday to Cleveland, where they will lie in state until Monday, and then be interred in Luke-view cemetery. The lute Pl‘Cnldtrnt was shot on the 2nd of July, since which dateâ€"a period of over eleven weeksâ€"his condition has been daily discussed with the most. in- tense solicitude throughout the civilized world. and the news of his death will be received with a burst of sorrow as genuine in other countries as it is in the United States.

An Effective Letter. The London fling.) correspondent of the Toronto Globe is in great glee over s brief and pithy letter sent by Colonel Moberlv, an Irish landlord, to [recalci- trant.Tipperary tenant, whom it quick- ly brought to terms. The tenant, a Mr. Patrick Doug, had held the farm a for years at. s very low rent. and was on the beat of terms with his landlord ; but at Int allowed himself to be persuaded by evil councillors that he was the vio- tim of oppression, and declined to pay more than Grifiith's valuation. Where- upon the Colonel wrote to him as fol- lows :â€" “ Of course I cannot make you hon- est, but. I can punish you for being disâ€" honest. This I intend to do. If, there- fore, you do not pay a full year's rent, I shnll file a petition against you in the Bankruptcy Court. If you do not pay. as you will be ordered to do, you will be declared a bankrupt and your prop- erty will be given over to be disposed of for the benefit of your creditors, of whom I shall be One. You need not flatter you‘rself that there will be no sale and no bidders, for I shall have people there to bid for me, and shall get, if there are no bidders in this time. all the property you have. your lease inluded, sold to me for a few shillings. The cattle and goods I shall give to the mob, whom you will find just as willing to plunder you as you are to plunder me. The buildings I shall burn down and let the land run to waste to recover the fertility of which, owing to your style of farming, you have pretty well deprived it. As 1 have few wants, no duties, no family, and a good English income, the loss will be a more nothing to me, and I shall have the satisfaction of punishing you I trust. rendering you for life an inmate of the Nenngh Union.” A day or two after receiving his landlord’s persuasive epistle, Mr. Dagg wrote to say that. he would remit his rent. without further delay.

Tim- (Sun'an EXIIIBITION.â€"The managers of the Central Exhibition. which this year is to be held in Lind- say, have acted wisely. Instead of lol- lowing a mieerly precedent and trying to cut. down their printing expenses to the lowest point possible. they have di- vided the bulk of the work; between the two Lindsay offices at fair prices and have sent a small advertisement to each of the twenty-five or thirty papers in the district embraced. The montigcrs. have evidently determined to neglect nothing likely to aid in making the errâ€" ; hibition a success, and, knowing the value of printer's ink, they are using it as fret-iv as the state of tho funds jn ti- tics. We. hope, and do not doubt. that, their enterprise will be well rewarded. for the exhibition is in good hands and every effort is beingr made to eclipse all the “ Ccntrals " that have yet been held. "" are in good spirits, nnd no wnndor, for not. only is this year's hnyvcst an ('Xcop- lionully good one. but grain ofnll kiudv fetches tip-top prices. On 'l'uosdny 81 30 was paid for good wheat in this village, and the market is gradually ox- tending from the railway ~t:ttion to the school-house ; for competition among the buyers is so keen that they are cw. ry dny going a little further up strut-I to meet the farmers. who evidently co- joy the fun of thus being Wziylnicl, and lounge lazily upon their loads until the highest price has been offered and ac- cepted. and then drive to the pnrchnser'.~ storehouse. In Lindsay, on Monday, a regular procession of waggons laden with full bags was passing through the street all day, and one or two of the merchants told us that. though business was not yet very brisk, money for old accouan was coming in quite freely. We hope it. is the some in t. is village A NICE Jonâ€"Wu have hitherto ne glected the obvious duty of favourably noticing the North Victoria Agricultur- al Society's show bill, which was print- ed at the ofice of the Woodville Advo- wtc. If we possessed more human na- ture than we are afliictcd with we should. while pretending to prni-e the bill, covertly insinuate that it. wasn't much after all, as we always did the Society's printing before the existence of the Advocate. whose geographical po- sition secures for it the preference. But we say uureservedly that the job is an excellent one and highly creditable tn the establishment in which it. was elnb’ orsted. It. is printed in three colours red. blue and yellow, which makes it very impressive. and it owes part at its attractiveness to the use of material nor generally found in a village printing of- fice. The only thing about it we can find to object to is that it. probably did not pay as well as it. ought to bare done. A RUNAWAY.-A lively runaway, by which, fortunately, nobody was hurt, took place in this village last Saturday morning. Mr. Wm. Junkin, of Vern- lsm. left s span of nice grey horses, at- uchod to a double buggy, standing be- hind the railway storehouse with s little boy at their heads; but. he wss too young to be of any use. and when the animals, alarmed by an spproachiug train, made a forward movement. he wisely consulted his own safety and stepped from in front of them. For it short distance they only walked. and might hsve been essin stopped; but as there was no one st hand to do it. they soon began to trot. and then to gallop. After crming the common they reached the road close to Jordan's storehouse. where, turning suddenly. the buggy was upset with such violence that the body was smashed. torn from its fasten. lugs and left behind. From some sense the wheels then fighud, and ti!!! tho roughly frightened horses set of at s furious gallop towards the village. Whoa about s third of the way moss eat the structure, and twenty more were on board' tbe'spccial truin ‘thut run to {.md‘ filo bean-cu the bridgc‘and the ‘utill'pand it was only by keeping right on under high prcs>urc from daylight until dark on Saturday, Sunday and [Monday that the job was finished by {the end‘ of the third day.

The 11mm. Dublin cablc of the 18th says :â€"-The Land League Cou- vvntioo occupied the bc~t part. of the last. day's sitting in an ndroit attempt to secure the adhesion of the labouring classes to the policy of the League. For some months growing dissatisfaction has been manifested by laborers through Out. Ireland at the neglect of their in- terests by the advocates ol the land re- form, snd there seemed to be danger that a rival agitation. directed chiefly against the farming class, would grow nlnngside the tenant movement in Ire- lsnd. Alarmed by the mutinous stti- tude of the live hundred thousand In. bourers who within s few years will re- ceive the l'rsochiw, Parnell and his Cabinet. prepared to add it new plank. to their ptatform. and by a resolution a lopted today they called upon the furiners to allot half so acre of land for every twenty-five scres in their Wes- uion to the use of thelr labourers, or, as so alternative, give them grass for one now. This will he s bitter pill for the tenant. farmers, but they will probably swallow it to prevrnt the labourers from going aver m the landlord interest. It was an sdroit tunvemcut on the part of Parnell, sud will probably have the ef- fect of rallying to his party the most dangerous elements in the Irish popula- tion. and supply him with supporters equally ready to coerce farmers or land- lords.
