The local grain market was not so active toâ€"day but there were more numerous en- quirzes for coarse grains and rye on export account; rye and buckwheat, which have sold at irregular prices for SOme time, were higher and firm; oats also firmer. Cables were firmer with a more active demand. In the States Wheat advanced about a cent and a half. closing about the highest point of the day; corn and oats unchanged. Flourâ€"No business, excepting in mill brands, was reported. Feeling was steadier, millers showing less anxiety to sell. Millfeedâ€"Quiet and unchanged. Wheatâ€"Was not so active but values were firmer. Millers were bidding 85c for standard and 87c for straight Oneario spling and winter. There were some sales at 87c, but: sellers generally asked more. Manitoba wheat sold by sample at ormer_ prices, lint at the close sellers anted 'higber figures.

OTTAWA, Feb. l3.â€"In all 15,028 acres were disposed of at auction during the recent series of sales of Government lands in Manitoba, realizing the sum of $421,- 476, or an average price of $7.95 per acre. "this was, therefore, the most pro- fitable sale of school lands ever held in the province, as in the sale of 1888, when 20,000 acres were disposed of, the average price obtained wusa little under seven dollars per acre. In many instances this year’s school lands brought as high as ten dollars per acre, which was fixed by the experts who valued the lands before they were advertised fcr sale. The highest average was $9.32 per acre, realized by Glenboro sale. In all cases the lands were sold to actual settlers for the purpose of cultivation, not an acre having fallen into the hands of land speculators. No doubt the average price paid for the whole sale would have been more than $57 .95 had it not been that there were “squatters" on several of the school sections against whom settlers would not bid and who were consequently able to hold on to their ;places by paying simply the upset price of $5 per acre. At the meeting of the council on Monday last, a comniitte was appointed to act in conjunction with committee appointed by the club to make arrangements for a fitt- int,r reception for the “ boys.” Lindsay has been spoken of throughout the entire conti- nent, in connection with the Winnipeg bonspiel, and the anxiety to hear news of the playing during the past week shows very plainly the interest taken in the game by our citizens. The thanks of the club and our townspeople are due to the C.P.R. Telegraph Co., and particularly Mr. T. C. Matchett, the obliging' Agent for the inter- est taken in keeping Lindsay posted‘ in the progress of the games free of cost.

The councils are to have control of the local police. excepting the appointment of chief constables ; the con- trol of licensing. the administration of the poor law, asylums, industrial schools and prisons, exceptirg stated government prisons, and roads and public works. The mperial police are to be maintained in lessened force.

Irish landlords recently sent to Mr. Bal- four, through the Duke 0t Abercorn, a demand that clergymen be excluded from the county boards, the aim being to deprive the priests of influence. Mr. Balfour de- clined to comply with the wishes of the landlords. Astonishing Pigeon Shooting of the Good Old Times Recalled. The “ Infant Hunter” a. manâ€"“Yes,” he said. in answer to my question. “I remember one shooting exploxt of your husband’s, although he never took up hunting for the love of sport, as I did when I was young. It happened when he was 8 years old. lie shot: fairly well ‘ then, but was aIWuys timid like it girl, I used to’say. Dense flocks of pigeons used to pass over our estate every spring, and I would bring down nmny of them. On one occnssion I killed 49 at one shot, and picked them up myself, never less than 30, so thickly did they fly together. Thomas one morning fired several times, but killed none; now it always annoyed “Tollllih, fire once more, and if you kill none of all those birds you’ll get a flogging. ” ’l‘rem‘olingly, the poor child tock aim, fired, and brought down four! You know he now gains prizes and medals at the Canada Rifle Association. Well, I shot so many of these pigeons that I began to think of taking them over to Buffalo for sale. Frst I took a waggon loud, and 300, a dozen for them. As this was en- couraging, I watched for the next flight and brought down enough to fill three waggons. I forget howxnany dozens, for kept no account, but I sold them all in the town. Some people thought I had trapped them, but on examinination soon showed that each one was shot. I con- tinued my pigeon-shooting for many springs in succession, and always found a. market for my birds. Latterly none are to be seen; no flights pass over this part of Ontario. Game, indeed. of all kinds have become very scarce; deer, black and grey squirrels, mink, etc... are quite ex- tinct here. In British Columbia, on the Pacific coast, they tell me there i8-au contrarieâ€"hunting to your heart’s me beyond anythinu to see ammunition wasted, so I called him: ‘contcnt. Should it please C(d to spare my life yet a. few years I iment going there with my beloved younger son and showing my four grandsons the noble art of hunting, “tu live my childhoud o’er again” in the pleasure and ecstasy of their keen enjoyment.

SACRAMENT.â€"-Last Sabbath the com- munion was held in the Presbyterian Church here. The attendance was good, and about 12 new members were added to the roll. It was gratifying to find so many young people joining for the first time. The christian endeavor society was chiefly instrumental in ac- complishing this good work.
