He called there on his way to Bronte. He left his horse at an ho- tel in Builington, and drove north- ward in the men’s rig.

Were the value of ashes beter knnwn less would be sent out- of the country. The Shelburne Free Press says 161 tons of wood ashes were shipped fiom Fergus to the United States laSL month. The price paid was $3.50 a ton. “hat pity it is that our far- mers, one and all. are not fully post- ed in the value of wood ashes as a fertilizem and keep the article at home to restore the fertility of their farms. The land around Fergus is no doubt, as good as any to be found ole in the form of a‘conimercial fer- tilizu‘ will have to be purchased at a high price.

Fighting for some days has been actively engaged in between the Turks and Greeks. The most deter- mined courage is being diSplayed on both sides. The Greeks are ‘the bet- ter trained and claim to have a bet.- ter navy but they are far out-num- bered by the Turks who, though poorly trained are said to fight like devils. From the numerous reports it was hard to tell what the result would be yet the general opinion is that the Greeks. unaided, must yield sooner ur later to Turkish numbers. On Saturday last Larissa the Greek stronghold was forced and it is ex- pected that the war must soon end un- less there be interferenceof the pow- ers. Up to that capture the Greeks seemed to be getting the best of it. Both claim to be fighting in a religi- ous cause and the most sanguine de- termination is evinced.

But the wiping out of the Specific duties and as to England may ‘ seriously affect many people and the result of these changes in these direc- tions has yet- to be ascertained. On a side question (the Manitoba schools) the Conservatives go out, the Liberals come in, and to-day the Liberals stand before the country merely pruning a protective tarifi, pitching Uncle Sam overboard, and out-Heroding the Conservatives in making a bid for English trade. One way of stating the case is this: Here was a Liberal party in opposi- tion professing free trade, denounc- ing protection. looking for unrestrict- ed reciprocity with the United States and ignoring England. At the Owen Sound assizes last week, Miss McNevin sued Rev. Mr. Lediard for slander. The minister had told the plaintiff’s intended hus- band something that caused him to break the engagement. The young lady finallv consented to accept a complete ietiaction and apology from the minister, who will also pay the costs ~31t. Forest Rep. Here was a Crnservative party in power, committed to protection, against- a United States policy, and for a. preference toward Eng-1m: d. To our mind it comes down to this, that the Liberals, now that they are in office, have accepted the Conser- vative trade policy and are wearing the Conservative clothes before the whole country But the Conservat- ives have the record of being honest in their adhesion to these principles, while the Liberals have yet to prove themselves so. But they are in power and that is a lot towards it. And, finally, the Conservatives must now see what the punishment is for their foolish attempt to coerce Man- itoba on the school question; they a1e doomed to see for a time the Liberals ruling Canada on Conservat- ive lines.

One iof them in a confidential manner in f0] med him that a certain hand was a dangemus charactel and that he haél aheady killed three men. He was further informed that these murd- ers were committed at night some- what after the manner of Jack-the- Ripper. That night the Ripper entered his bedroom armed with a knife and a lantern and the terrified occupant of the bed made a Spring for the window. He leached the outsidel with nmhing on but a shirt and ran for three miles before calling a halt. A farmer at whose house he called, took him for a mad-man and put the dogs on him. This frightened the unfortunate man worse than ever, and he kept on running- till daylight. Finally he was apprehended as a vagrant and sent to Owen Sound jail. A' great deal of indignation 1 over the outrage exiscs in the neigh- borhood and if the facts are as stated it is to be hoped that the perpertators will be brought to justice.--â€"â€"VValker- ton Telescope. l Messrs.
