At the last election 88 votes were polled for coun- cilman. and the correspondent from Wood- ville to the FVarder stated that two-thirds of rate-payers despised the Reeve and still 83 signed the above statement. Unless a. horse has brams, you teach him. See thgxt tall by, a fine VA- Lcuuu nun. My... ------ r ing animal, fifteen hands high. You can’t teach that horse anything. Why? Well, I‘ll show you a difierence in heads, but, have acare of his heels. Look at the brute’s head, that rounding nose, that ta- pering forehead, that broad, full place be- tween the eyes. You can’t trust him. That’s an awful 000d mare; as true as the sun. You can see breadth and fulness not...“ .n $110 mm and eves. You couldn’t between the ears and eyes. You couldn't hire that mare to act mean or to hurt any- body. The eye should be full, and hazel is a good color. I like a. small, thin ear, and want a horse to throw his ears well a; for-Ward. Look out for the brute that t‘ \‘Iilll-ts to listen to all the conversation go- 6 ing on behind him. The horse that turns back his ears until they almost meet at the paints. take my word for it, is sure to do sometmng wrong. See that straight, elegant face. A horse with :1 dishing face is cowardly, and a cow- ardly brute is usually vicious. Then I like a square muzzle, with large nostrils, to let in plenty of air to the lungs. -For 1 the under side of the head, a. good horse . should be out well under the jowl, with jaw-bones broad and wide apart at the throttle. The next thing to consider is the build of the animal. Never buy a long-legged, stilty horse. Let him have a. short. straight back and a. straight rump, and you have got a. gentleman’s horse. The withers should be high, and the shoul- ders well set back and broad, but don’t get them too deep in the ehest. The fore~ leg should be short. Give me a. pretty straight hindleg, with the hock low down, short pastem joints, and a round, mulish. foot. There are all kinds of horses. but the animalthat has these ints is almost sure to be sightly, ' . ,V g matured nd servicable. m p W S a C J , l l 1 Verulam Council. How to ,.

BRANDON, Mam, June 10..â€"Our district has escaped the late frosts Whlch have been reported far to the east and south of us. ‘ ndent visited the experi- mental farm, which has much of its land in the valley of the Assinbome river, where the frost would have as much effect. as in any part of our district. In no case was any serious damage done. All the hardy varieties of wheat, such as Red Fife, White Fife, Saronkai‘ Eureka, Rus- hrninmr “7110+, rue, "111w L'uv, ”wk", . s1an, etc., show no signs of injury what- haw ever, while the softer varieties, some of pm which have been sent from India, only ' have the outer blades tinged yellow with- out seriously affecting the plant. The for many varieties of oats are not injured in th: the slightest. The barley even escaped, pa except a small plot iu the centre cf the go field where the land was low. All the ' ell advanced, the barley nea- ° inches, and the wheat suring fourteen twelve inches. Out of ten varieties of peas all escaped but one, “ McLean’s Little Jim,” 3. garden variety which was sown on account of the shortness of its straw, the manager thinking it suitable U for our rich soils. The above is a very 13 good index of the crop in the Province of p. Manitoba, and from all sides of Brandon ti ‘ the most cheering reports are coming in of cf , warm showers and rapid growth. Possibly . never in the history of Brandon were the a ' he growth and ad- , vancement of our city. We have the Northern Pacific building in from the south-east, and the Canadian Pacific pre- paring tu build south-west to the rich coal deposits on the banks of the Souris river.

Now that there is a prospect of very cheap fuel, our citizens are looking for manufacturers from eastern cities to establish branches of their work ‘ here. A manufacturers’ excursion is pro- posed from the east in order that manu- facturers may have an opportunity to study the advantages of our cheap fuel, cheap living for their mechanics and a good market for their manufactured articles.

By establishing a branch of their works here they would have a great ‘ advantage in being near their customers, ‘ and farmers would more readily deal with a firm which could provide repairs on short notice in case of accident. This week a special excursion party of 1,200 farmers visit us. Our Manitoba. farmers welcome them all and are ready to drive them through the provmce and satisfy them of i the great riches of our soil, the extent of our meadows and the beauties of our coun- try generally.

We under- stand he turns out an average of about 40 thousand feet weekly which he delivers on the track at Haliburton, about two- thirds of it being hardwood lumber of ex- cellent quality. MAGISTRATES Commâ€"An interesting case came before W. Fielding, Esq., J. P. on Thursday the 6th inst., when Mr. W. Eastman appeared to answer the charge by Mr. A. McIntosh of blaspheny and and using ofi'ensive and insulting language contrary to the law of the land, two wit- nesses were called in support of the charge the result was a fine of $5 and costs, ‘ amounting to $4.45. The magistrate took occasion to remark that he was determin- ed to put down the too prevelant abomin- ation of blasphemy and insulting and de- moralizing language on our streets, and in this he will have the fullest support of the press and citizens of Minden.

A Pointer to Advertisers. “To discontinue an advertisement,” says John Wanamaker. Philadelphia’s great merchant, “is like taking down your sign. If you want to do business‘ you must let the public know it. Stand- ing advertisements when changed fre- 3 quently are better and cheaper than read- ins.r notices. They look more substantial and business-like and inspire confidence. I would as soon think of doing business without clerks as Without advertising.” Two Bad Habits Ruin a Promising Young San Francisco Politician. SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.â€"â€"A sensation has been created here by the announce- ment that Morris C. Baum, secretary of the Republican county committee, is a fu- gitive in Europe, having left here 810,- 000 in notes bearing forged indorsements. Baum was a sharp young lawyer and had a large business but gambling and women ‘ ruined him. To pay his poker losses he drew notes and endorsed them with the name of his brother-in-law, Simon An- s acher. Besides the forged notes Baum left fully $10,000 in small debts to a score of friends.

About 2.30 this afternoon the two unfortunate men started in their boat to cross the . river to Chippawa from Point Day, above . the Falls on the American side. Both of them were under the influence of liquor, ‘it is said, when starting. Nothing more was seen of them until the cry that two men were going over the falls was raised by some visitors on Goat Island, who saw them going down to destruction and death clinging to their boat, which was being tossed about like a cork on the rapids. Down flew the frail craft with the rushing torrent when reaching the brink of the falls it shot over the centre of the Horseâ€" shoe Falls. The men were clinginq to it then, at three o’clock, and no more was seen of either men or boat. Part of the latter was picked up in the river at the . foot of the falls half an hour afterwards, - but nothing as yet has been seen of the ' bodies of the men. Walker lost a brother . in exactly the same manner about six 1 years ago. Both men were expert with the oars and fully understood the river.
