Mrs. Campbell’s death seemed to be painless, but was preceeded by frequent vomitings coming on while at breakfast. Her previous health had been fair, with the exception of occasional attacks of neu- ‘ ralgia. Some of the friends asked for an inquest, which was held accordingly by Dr. Poole on Tuesday afternoon, at about the time appointed for the funeral. From the evidence,chiefly of Mr. Campbell, the children being all young, it appeared that he suggested sending for a doctor but his wife said no. Flnally he sent for Dr. Ray of Cambray,but she was dead before the doctor arrived. A post-mortem ex- amination was made by Dr. McAlpine, and the stomach removed for analysis. The inquest was adjourned till Saturday J unc 15th at Lindsay to await the result. Remember the Home For the Aged, This Institution has now been in exist- ence for a. year and the committee feel grateful for the interest taken in it by the public in general, but there are many thin s lacking which might add to the com ort of the aged inmates. It has been conducted on principles of the closest economy. the limited means at the disposal of the committee allowing no other course. For anything beyond bare necessiaries the inmates have been indebted to the kind- ness of friends. They would be very grate- ful to ladies who at this season of the year are renewing their own supplies if they would remember the Home when they have things to give away.

The occasion was a reception tend- ered the members and their friends. The large audience room was arranged as one immense parlor and was most beautifully and attractively arranged, the walls being hung with beautiful pictures. The room was dotted here and there with pretty little tables on which sat some flower or other decoration. By 8 o’clock the guests began to come and by 8.30 the room was filled. A few minutes after this the Pre- sident called the gathering to order and after singing a. hymn a short but interest- ing programme, consisting of songs and addresses, was enjoyed, at the close of which Mr. R. M. Anderson was called forward and presented with a. beautiful address printed on satin. Mr. Anderson, after recovering himself made an appro- priate reply.

Mr. Carson left his pony in a pasture field, the animal was taken sick, in consequence of which they had to get a horse from Mr. R. Ballagh, and started for home about 7 o‘clock last evening. In coming downa steep hill near Mr. Ballagh’s residence, the animal commenced to kick and run away. Mr. Cleland was thrown out and badly cut on the forehead in the fall, and when he went to look for Mr. Carson he .was laid in the centre of the road appar-‘ ently dead, but after lifting him he was able to speak and was taken to Mr. Ballagh's. That gentleman immediately hitched up and drove the clergyman home, when a surgeon dressed his wounds. Mr. Ballagh at once returned with Mrs. Carson and a doctor who, when he got there found Mr. Carson not nearly as bad as was ex- pected. He will be all right again in a few days.

The Butter market has been in bad shape all through the week. Receipts have been liberal, the quality not of a character to stand up under warm weather, and holders therefore have been inclined to urge sales at every opportunity but notwithstanding a steady reduction in pnces it has been impossible to prevent more or less of an accumulation, and the market at the close of the week is in a badly demoralized condition, and little hope of any improvement until we shall , have grass butter of body enough to hold. lCreamery butter is in even worse condi- tion, if anything, than State dairy, as lat- ter is wording out on more out-of-town orders. In Western packed there has been some export demand at 8 to 100. but j stock held above that is greatly neglected. Old butter has had some sale at very low prices. We heard of one good-sized lot : of June creamery cleaned up at 9c. for which 24c was refused at one time. Cheese has found pretty quick sale all ' the week, with a steady upward turn on values, and taking into account the season of the year, the buoyancy was a little sur- prising. Sellers, however, were in no way disconcerted, but on the contrary, worked their advantages well, and it does not look as though a fraction was lost by poor management thus far, about the only doubtful phase of the situation being found in some of the rates of late paid in the country. So far a strictly fine, or » such as passes for fancy at this season of the year is concerned, there has been no 1 great difficulty in carrying forward nego- ’ tiations, as nearly every exporter stood waiting for the supply and some of it was engaged before arrival: indeed the receipts during fore part of week were so thoroughly preâ€"empted that for 1 a couple of days values remained 'more i. or less nominal in the absence of available stock with which to test matters. Where quality was equal, coloured and white have sold at the same price, the proportion e of the latter gradually becoming smaller. l- Monday’s arrivals, the combination fac: r1 tories, and latterly a considerable portion 'L ._- VVAa-Vw w---_ _~----__, J of the Central New York stocks have shown up good, but within a couple of days 00mp1aints over condition have pro~ ven quite frequent, green shipped stock and warm weather resulting in deteriora- tion and bringing the usual trouble about fixing a. price. Receivers naturally en- deavoured to make the shading as light 1 as possible and shippers magnifying every lfault, though occasionally the concession, if only a very small fraction, would induce them to forget some of'the worst features of the parcel over which negotiations were pending and close the transaction. . Some stock, however, will have to remaln un- sold an account of its condition, and that is particularly the case on light skims. As a rule fine skims have sold i to 4.}c higher where condition was all right, but hard State skims very dull, and even at 2 ‘to 3c did not find an outlet suflzicient to prevent accumulation. About 500 boxes Pennsylvania skims sold at 10 to exporters. There has been further buying of old cheese by eiporters, which in conjunction with additional direct shipments, will make an export of at least 7,000 boxes, Runaway Accicent.

Very interesting resultszin regard to La- ‘doga and Fife wheats have been obtained by the Central Experimental Farm at Otâ€" tawa. Ladoga wheat, as its name implies comes from the region of Lake Ladoga, in the north of Russia, latitude 60°â€"â€"a district where the season of growth is short: and hence cereals have to adapt themselves to the climatic conditions sur-‘ rounding them or else succumb. Ladoga wheat has been experimented with for several seasons in Canada, and has justi- fied the expectations entertained in regard to it by its importers. It ripens early, maintains a high degree of hardness and a heavy weight, and is generally highly _ adapted for growth in Canada, especially in the North-west. - n l“ VOIV â€"- ~â€" In regard to the time required for 1 the growth of any cereal, much depends (‘ upon several elements, such as warmth of 1 soil, length of period between killing frosts average temperature of the growing period 1 and total amount of sunshine. Where any ' of these elements is comparatively defi- i ned, it may be compesated for by an ex- ices of one or more of the elements. A ‘ comparison between lenth of time between sowing and ripening shows the mean re- sults of all the elements combined, though it fails to indicate the difi'erences of difâ€" ferent localities in the quality of grain. Manitoba and the North-west Territories show that alonger period is required for the growth of wheat than in the other provinces, yet the quality of the grain in the North-west is superior to that where a shorter period of growth is necessary. Red Fife, which is the celebrated hardj wheat of the North-west, is on an aver- ‘ age, about 10 days later in ripening than ‘ Ladoga. In 1888 the time from sowing ‘ to harvesting of Ladoga, and the number of days than this wheat was earlier in ripening than Red Fife, were as follows? Time from Days ear- Sowing to lier than Harvesting. Red Fife. ’, Manitoba ........ 123 days. 1 N. W. Territories 122 “ lgi l British Columbia. 113 “ ._ fl . u nfnt'ln ........ . 99 9 N. W.

Island ..... 115 “ 9% Of course these figures would be modi- fied if a period of years were taken into 1 ‘account in the comparison, for it is rarely if ever, that the temperature in all the provinces, in any single year, shows“ any approach to an equal difference in mean temperature from the normal. Generally one part of the Dominion has a season warmer than usual. The New Brunswick and British Columbia tests were evidently made inland, where the summer heat is greater than on the coasts. At Ottawa the Ladoga wheat ripened in eighty-on " “-1! UltA :“ days aftéi‘ sowing ninety-two days. 111.11ou ’ I. vv v vu-J w- The average yield from each three pounds of Ladoga sown was as follows: Manitoba, 381bs.f N. W. Territories, 63 lbs.; British Columbia, 126 lbs.; Ontario, 44 lbs.; Quebec, 50 lbs.; Nova Scotia, 26 lbs; New Brunswick, 59 lbs.; Prince Edward Island. 46 lbs. The comparisons which the returns might suggest are not to be depended upon as a guide to com- parative prolificness in the different sec- tions named. _ -â€" .. 1 ,.L ULULID Luann-v“. In weight per bushel Ladoga was lowest at Tatamagouche, N. S.â€"60 lbsâ€"and highest, 65 lbs.â€"in Manitoba, but a sample grown at St. Mary’s, N. B., almost equalled the Manitoba. weight, and showed 64 lbs. to the bushel. " ,,,L_ As to quality, the majority of experts place the original Ladoga seed in the next grade below No. 1 hard, and esti- mate its value at from four to five cents per bushel less than the best quality of Red Fife, but some of the samples grown from the original seed have improved so much as to entitle them to grade with grain of high quality. Chemical analyses and tests of flaVUr show an appreciable difference in favor of Ladoga. over Red Fife. Evidently Ladoga is the best wheat that can be grown in many parts of the N orth- west. A bulletin of the Ottawa. farm says: The Ladoga Wheat has been sub- jected to a searching criticism,.- table of the entire results of its growth ,have been given , the public have been advised of such defects as have been noted during the progress of the two years’ tests, and making the most liberal allowance for these defects, it seems not too much to say that the evidence thus far obtained is sufficient to show : That the Ladoga is a productive a valuable variety of hard wheat, which has thus far ripened over the whole Dominion ten days earlier on; the average than the Red Fife; that the better samples obtained are fully as rich in gluten as the best Red Fife, and while the best cultivation of the Red Fife should be recommended in every section of the North-west where it is likely, with early sowing, to escape the autumn frosts, the growth of the Ladoga may be safely enâ€" couraged wherever the ripening. of the Red Fife is uncertain, without incurring , the risk of materially lowering the reputa- tion or the general quality of Canadian : , hard wheatâ€"Empire. ' A Young Desperado. A recent despatch from Wabash, Ind., has the following: “Last evening Jordan Rhodes, the most desperate criminal for his age (11 years) ever imprisoned here, escaped from the deputy sheriff and boarded an eastbound Wabash train. He was heard from at Roanoke this morning, going through 3â€"513 the Red VFi'fe in LINDSAY, THURSDAY, MAY where he had burglarized a house last night, securing a number of valuables. Rhodes was to have been taken to the State Reform Schoollto-day for larceny. The lad was captured this noon at Union Station by Sheriff Squires.” Prince Rudolph. PARIS, May 13.â€"â€"Pahaps the most re- markable story of all concerning the death of Prince Rudolph is that which has just reached this city. A few days ago it was announced quietly in the Austrian news- papers that the uncle of the Baroness Vet- sera had died at Meyerling. Until that‘ time it was known that the count had dis- appeared, but nobody knew where he was. After his death he was buried with- , out ceremony. The cause of his death Was variously given, but there was nothing in the newspapers, and the Count was buried before even the newspapers knew of his death. The accepted story is far more horrible than the climax of “Othello.” Bet‘ carriage. He did not attempt to enter the house where the lovers were until very late at. night, when he got into the Princess’ bed- room and found the couple together. There was a sharp alteration. The Count, in a. fit of jealous fury, attempted to shoot the Crown Prince, but the first bullet killed the Baroness. In the struggle for the weapon which followed, a portion of the Count's hands were blown off, and it ‘ was from the effects of this wound that he ‘ subsequently died of blood-poisoning. The Crown Prince was of slight build and totally unarmed. The Count shot him just as the attendants ran into the room Every effort was made, of course, to hush the matter up, and the murderer was taken to a room upstairs and put under guard, pending instructions from the Em- peror. He went into a delirium in the course of the night, and never left the room alive. The story is worth telling, because it is the one which is now believ- ed, but no man’s ingenuity can forecast the next history of the mystery of Meyer- THE MEYERLING MYSTERY. ling. A Good Old French Priest Goes to Rest After Years of Labor. At 9 o’clock yesterday morning there died one of the best priests of the Arch- diocese of Toronto, in the person of Rev. J. Michel, parish priest of Lafontaine, 8 miles from Penetanguishene. Father Michel was born in France 58 years ago and was the only son of wealthy parents. He received his early training in Europe and took his final theological course in Baltimore, where he was ordained at an early date. . u ,. .1 1-_2_-‘I 1:1- A: DEATH OF REV, FATHER MICHEL. Father Michel was spent in the Toronto Archdiocese, in which he did good work, much of it in the way of erecting churches, schools, presbyteries and convents, to a large extent from his own means, having inherited a large fortune, of which little1 or nothing is left. His first work ‘ in this archdiocese was as curate at St. Mary’s, Ont. Then he was stationed for different periods at Toronto, Gore, Mara, a parish near Orillia, where he built a fine presbytery; then in the parish of Adjala after the death of Rev. Father Sinnot. From Adjala he was sent to Niagara Falls ‘ where he was arish priest and chaplain to i the Loretta onvent for several years. Seventeen years ago Farther Michel was removed to Lafontaine, which parish he held till his death; there he built a grand church as imposing as St. Patrick’s in this city; a commodious presbytery and a con- vent for the Sisters of the Holy Cross. "it; was a good and holy inan,” said the Rev. Administrator Laurent yesterday “and the late Archbishop regarded him him almost as a saint.” The funeral will take place on Thurs- day morning at 9 o’clock, the interment taking place at Lafontaine.
