Though the McKinley bill, which prac- tically excludes Canadian farm products l'rom the States, has become law, very t. little consternation is felt this side of the lines. The new tariff goes to such extremes, and is so unpopular even in the States, that no one believes it will last long. and, if it. should, the prob- ability is that Canadian farmers will find a market in the old country for everything they have to dispose of. Their live stock and cheese already cross the Atlantic in great number and quantity, and successful experiments have been made in shippingr eggs, which reach the old country in pcrfthly good condition and sell at prices satisfactory , to all interested. The McKinley tariff" will undoubtedly disturb existing trade relations, but that will be its worst result, and, in the end, it may prove a blessing in disguise. The Ontario Cabinet.

Victims of Misplaced Uo-nfidenco- A peripatcttic trader in human gulli- bility struck the village last Friday, and when he left by the early train next morning' he was a- good many dollars richer than when he came. lie called himself Dr. liedwlngs and claimed to be a regularly qualified practitioner from a medical college in Texas; and his mission was to dispense " a lid West " remedies to suffering humanity. Dres- sed up in what is popularly supposed to be cowboy costume, with an enormous revolver and. two rows of cartridges in his belt. he mounted a brilliantly illu- minated waggon in front of the McAr- drew a crowd around him by the strains of his banjo and the singing of himself and his cou- tedcratc, who by means of lampblack or something else had Converted himself into an artificial Ethiopian for the oc- casion.

Next came packages of catarrh snuff at half a dollar. and wine of those who bought it got 72') cents. By this time the cupidity and crcdulity of the ; crowd were pretty thorouzhly cxcited,l and when the " doctor " offered other} uostrutua at a dollar. after stating that ' rold watches would be presented to the l » t'rst thirty-six purchasers, and that. all i would get a valuable present. he found , a host of eager to invest.

I We are rcqpested. to mention that on the 15th of Nov. next the Rev. Wm. Logan. Rector of St. James" Church, will have completed his fortieth year in the ministry, and is now entitled to full retiring allowance. He will be ready to retire as soon after that date as pro‘ vision can be made for. his successor. The value of tlte‘endbwmcnt is, after 537- l nod assessments are deducted, $4395.20. with Rectory valued at $100 per annum. Mr. Logan takes one half of" this n- monnt as part of his retiring allowance, until such time as the Superannuatitm l Fund, just in its infancy, is ablc to as some its payment. Mr. Logan would thercf’cre take 8291, andleavc $197 and the. house to his successor... ' The min- imum. stipend fixed by the Synod is 5800- and. a. house. The sum of $603 . will have- to. be made up and guaranteed l by men ofi property. Mr. L :gan gives l this early. notice in: order that. this work may be gone-about at. once. The formation of the St. J‘amcs‘ con- gregation da-tes from 1.8391 Mr. Logan is the sixth. incumbent, and his incum- : bcncy has been something over three years more than the incumbencies-of the ‘ last siar incumbents combined. During the thirty (Ill-cc years that elapsed before . Mr. Loean came to the parish it was for ten years without an. incumbent, occa- sioned by vacancies between the several appointments. During on:I of the en- cumbencies the congregation dwindled down to the incumbent’s own family, without any one trying to destroy it. Mr. Logan has had during his time in the parish 24.2 baptisms, 5'0: marriages and. 97 burials. Another Fire in the Village. Early last Sunday morning a frame dwelling house on Lindsay street, owned by Mr. Edwin Wood and occupied by Mia. John. Craig, was destroyed by fire, which appears to. have. been causcdeith- or by a: defect in the building, or by the Stovepipe passing too near the wood- work in an upper room. The house was quite new and. Mr. Craig, who is a. bachelor, moved into it about a month ago, and has since been working at the model of a reaper he'has invented. A cookstove in the kitchen was the only one used until Saturday, but on that; day a box stove Was put up in one of! the rooms of the main house; and at night the first fire was lighted in it, as the weather was chilly and Mr; Craig, l who had been to: the Salvation Army" meeting, wished to polish up a model of one of his inventioais that he intended to take to Toronto with. him on. Mon-(hiya About midnight he and his cousin. 1 Charles McFadden, a ladzabout 11 years ’ old. who Was visiting him, went to-bcd in the front room on the ground floor; and when. they awoke four or five hours later they heard the fire burning, over- head, and the- hall‘ was so full ofdensc smoke that. they could not get to the front door, and had. to escape though one of the-windows of‘ the room in which i they Slept. The house was soon entirely destroyed, together with almost all its‘ contents, which Consisted of Mr. Craig's furniture, clothing and tools, and the i models of the different inventions at which he has been working during the past five or six years. There was an - insurance of $300 on the house, which f Mr. Wood says cost him about $4.30, 3 and. Mr; Craig had 81,501) on his effects. . ..._, ,,.__ , _---_ l Powles’s Corners. , l l Corn-spatulencor rgl'lluz Gazelle.
