CARTER hadnixty bu~hels of fall wheat to the acre. but it was a phenomenal crop that was talked of far and near. and in these degenerate days Mr. Walker's yield of forty bushels is something to be proud of, and shows that the fertility of the land must have been pretty well kept up. OPKTIIAIAMA.â€"A few days ago the city papers contained a paragraph to the effect that. the disease known as nphthaltuia had broken out amongst the cattle in different parts of the province. It is a disease of the eyes, which become violently inflamed, and some members of an afflicted herd generally become blind. Dr. Macon informs us that there have been a number of cases on Long Point, in thotownship of Fenelon 81 REWARDâ€"M r. Jack ett has posted bills in and around his hydrants offering a reward of 81 for such information as shall load tothe conviction of any per. son guilty of damaging any of the locks or taps, and giving notice that persons found taking water: without having paid for it will be prosecuted according to law. The drinking water with which Mr. Jacket supplies the lower part of the village is a. great charges are very reasonable ;-but some low individuals appear so determined to evade payment that he has at last determined to proceed against them. IJUCERNEtâ€"“One day last week Dr. Mason was at Burnt River on a. busi- ness trip, and Mr. Albert Atoheson of that place gave him a root of luccrne clover that he pulled on Mr. Ralph Road’s farm about a mile and half north of the village. The root measured 2 leet 7 inches in length, and the stalks â€"â€"-of which there were. no fewer than fifty-six from the one seedâ€"were 3 feet ti inches in length. The clover grew on sandy land, and was cut on the lst of June. The plant Mr. Atoheson pulled was not an exceptional‘oue, as the growth overthe whole of the large field Was almost uniform. S. A.

ALARM or Franâ€"There was a lively time for about a quarter of an hour last Saturday afternoon in consequence of a spark from the smokestack on Mr. Pugslcy’s saw-mill falling upon and ig- niting some shingle sawdust lying be- tween thut building and the pulp mill. The instant the alarm was given a num- ber of villagers rushed to the danger point, and .\l r. Fred. Jockett, who was on his return trip from deliveriuga load of stones in the, grove, whirled his horses around, drove full speed to the engine house, forced the syaple from the door-post, hitched the engine behind his waggon, and in a very short time hauled it down Francis street to where it was needed. As the buildings are close to Cameron lake, there was an limited supply of water and the fire was ox'inguished inn few minutes; but none too soon, as it had not perilously near a big pilo ofdry shingle bolts about twenty feet from the wooden outbuilding at the rear of the pulp-mill. Encouraging, It is pleasant to find that Mr. Lau- rier has found Cabinet tnuking so easy a task. For once, we are told, a Fed- eral Cabinet has been formed without a single suggestion having been offered by an eeclesinstic of any sort. though in the past not culy the chief religions factor had much to say, and the other I been and his , When Daisy Rides the Wheel. With head erect and downcast eyes She glides along the street; There is no girl in all the town Who seems to flll‘ so sweet. Oh! if I did but know her well, I at her shrine would kneel ; I look above and think of love When Daisy rides the wheel. I've almost reached my threescore years, And signs of age reveal ; ' But all the same I’m young again, When Daisy rides the wheel. â€"JOE. __~__‘_________.___â€"-â€"â€"- Through the Binder. A South Perth farmer who is volubly eloquent on may subjects besides the weather, yesterday related to the Ben.- con’s agricultural editor the story of an adventure that belcl his dog. The canine had anose for game and had accompanied his master to the field where he was engaged in cutting short. The dog was following behind the binder when, by some unaccountable procedure, a field mouse become located on the framework of the binder. When snapped at by the dog the mouse ran onto the rapidly travelling canvas ele- vator. The dog followed suit. There was more than the sound of the reaper heard throughout the land during the next few seconds. There were audible evidences of a dog in distress. Before the farmer could stop his team the dog had been carried up the elevator, trans- ferred to the binding attachment and thrown out on the ground with a stout Mnnilla cord bound tightly around his body. Part of a sheaf of grain was also enclosed in the struggling bundle. “What about the mouse ?" asked the news sitter. “ Well, it didn’t get away. It went down to the ground with the dog and nsvsoon as poor Collie could stop howling there was a dead mouse. He couldn't eat it, though, until I had cut. the band. Thought he hadn’t room for it I guess.” -â€"Strufjord Beacon“ 0-. At Sutton, in Nottinghamshire, two twelve-year-old school boys were'the other day caught getting candy out of an automatic machine without inserting the penny in the slot, upon which they went off to a pond, tied themSelvcs with handkerchicfs, and drowned themselves. A most extraordinary suicide is re- ported from Cheltenham. A woman still in service at 97 years of age to a mistress of 93 years of age, hanged herself in a wardrobe, because arrange- ments were being made for her to give up her place and to provide for: her comfortably. A remarkable family-in point of numbers is that of William Hurt, sail maker, of Tollenham, near London. Hart is now ninety-six years old, has ten children, sixty-one grand-children, ninety-five great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildrenâ€"a total of one hundred and sixty-eight; descen- dants. Bass & 00., the famous brewers o Burton-on-'l‘rent, got up an excursion for ten thousand of their employes the other day. taking them to Blackpool in seventeen trains. They had hired every show in the place and opened them free to the excursionists, besides providing steamers for a sea trip, free railroad tickets, and enough money to pay for the incidentels. It is easier to imagine than to de- scribe the feelings and situation of the captain and crew of the ill-fated White Star steamer Narcnic, when over three years ago they sent afloat in a sealed .bottle a message which has just come I l ,to be to land not far from Liverpool. The messnec states that after striking an iceberg the vessel was sinking fast, and as she was never afterwards heard of she no doubt lies deep in the Atlantic. One of the boats, pickedup six months later, is corroborative evidence of the fate of the steamer.

Another feature, which, it is to be hoped. will not be uh‘l‘iuuh‘e-l by the new l’renticr, is the pomibiiiu of creating a new party, in- tensely and unitedly Canadian in its impulse while thoroughly loyal to the Empire.
