Twenty-flee cents a bushel is the price the Niagara Falls Can- ning Co. offered the farmers of the vicinity for tomatoes, but the farmers almost to a man refused to accept less than 30c. In conse- quence, the company has rented 50 acres of land and intend to grow what tomatoes they require. As they‘ are. already overstocked, their intention is to can not oyer 15.000 cases this season. This may result in a shortage of the can- ned goods next year, coupled with higher prices. To offset this, let the Durhamites grow thGâ€"lr own. A card from Lieut. C. E. Wolfp, dated at Aldershot, England, on Monday, the 15th of March, stated he was leaving for Egypt on Wednesday.

Cairo, in Egypt, is about 30 de- grees north latitude and 30 de- grees east longitude: over 20 de- grees farther south than the south of England and so degrees-farther east than Greenwich.

To'us untravelled mortals it seems like a long distance Last week, We learned with- re- gret of‘the death of Rev. T. D Pink, of Gait, son-in-law of M1 {ohm Fallaise, to whose daughter he was married about a vear and a half ago. Mr. Pink’s ability as a preacher was Well known here in his work before ordination at 1 couple of series of eavmgelisti" services in the Baptist church, in which he took an active and prominent part. The following from the Gait Reporter of Fridav last tells of the sad occurrence: Rev. Thomas Dayton Pink, pas- tor of the North Water street Baptist Mission, passed away at the hospital at midnight, after 'a severe illness of only four days’ duration. The news of the demise of the young pastor. who has won so many friends from every de- nomination during his brief min- istry in town, was heard with the deepest regret this morning Rev. Mr. Pink was in his f33rd year, and lacked but one day of his 34th birthday. He was married seven- teen months ago and mmh sym- pathy is felt for the young widow. who is left with an infant daugh- ter. Mr. Pink was born in Wales and came to Canada ten years ago. He resided in Paris for some vears be- fore entering college for training for the ministry. During his course at McMaster Unsversitj, Toronto, he came to Galt as,sup- ply preacher for the Mission, and so won the hearts of the congre- gation that later when he was ready for a charge the neOple of the mission secured him. His work there needs little comment. He was an untirinxg pastor, a breach- er of promise, and a minister deeply loved by his people, in, turn giving them his affections as well as his time. The oarsonage on the Macadamized road was the scene of many little social gather- ings, as his congregation sought him out for friendly intercourse. PASSING OF mum; PASTOR MUCH REGRETTED , Through his untiring work the congregation increased, espeically the Bible school, and in the little mission that, served before the new one was built the children gathered in such numbers that it quite outgrew its quarters, and the new edifice was erected. The work on building the mission was a great delight to Mr. Pink, and he personally supervised the var- ious stages of construction. Presid- ing .at the opening exercises in December, when the building was crowded to its capacity, Mr. Pink gratefully felt that his efforts were crowned with success. Since that time he has preached excel- lent sermons to his ever growing congregation, and the members of the Mission deep-1y feel the re- moval of their. popular young pas- tor. He was msiried ' seventeen months ago to Miss Jean Fallaise of Durham, (Mart, and she' with an infant child survives him. His father, Mr. Thomas Pink, West Main'stréet, also survives him. The funeral took place on Sun- dav to Mount View cemetery servicqbeimg held in the Mission at 3 o’clock. CL’UWUCU LU 1L5 Cd‘P-GCLLy, ill]:- gratefully felt that his efforts were crowned with success.

We regret to announce the death from apOplexy of Mrs. W'lliam Grierson, of Bentinck, who died on Monday last at the age of 57 years. She was a daughter of the, late Joseph Carwardine, and was married 35 years ago. Of four children resulting from the union one is dead, and the, remaining three, John, Nathan, and Bessie, are still at home. The deceased lady was ailing for some time, and death was not wholly unexpected. Interment was made yesterday in Durham cemetery. {bun Those antiquated articles of dress bring back the thoughts of other days. In the midst of giddy scenes and cheerful merriment we find food for reflection. Who wore that ancient dress? Who wore that antiquated hat? They are the preserved habitations of a pioneer people who passed through life perhaps amid strugâ€" gles and trials we can scarcely conceive 'of‘, much less appreciate in all their fullness. These hair- looms, and we say it seriously, are relics of antiquity, and should be carefully preserved. They con- n-ect the dead past with the living present, and had they eyes to see and tongues to tell the interven- ing history, they would .951"? us many interesting tales that will forever remain untold. 'The dress and cap Miss Hunter were are the property of Miss Gun. up town, and originally be longed to her mother, mother of the late Dr. Gun. They were first worn by her in Scotland, and in this country afterwards. They were made to last, and competent ludges .say the work is beautiful and all hand done.

[ms §§§§§§§§§§§OQOOQOOOOOOOO#0 The young people of the Presby- terian. church had a very enjoy- able social on Tuesday night. It was advertised as a Hard Times social, and fines were to be im- posed on all who were not in keeping with- the announcement. To avoid the penalty the knowing ones were prepared for the occa- sion, and in many cases the'gen- eral toggery was an ything but upâ€" to date. Miss Margaret Hunter had the most antiquated outfit, and appeared in a dress made 70 years ago. It was fashionable then, no doubt, and the highest pro- duction of the dressmaker's art. It seems odd to us oftto-day, but not more so, perhaps, than some. of our modern creations would ' ap- near in days when it was the stvle. §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§¢§+§O Miss McCormick wore a hat that she tells 'us was made 105 years ago. It too, was not exact- IV in keeping with the headwear of ~.to-day. 'We don’t know who made it, but it is quite a safe guess that none of our present millisners were on the iob then. It was a night of real enjoy- ment, and everybody seemed to take on a spirit of happiness. Even the pastor, who occunied the chair most efficiently, was forced at times to allow a- faint smile to invade his demure countenance, and on one or two occasions he was noticed to laugh right out in meetin.’ The program consisted of a number of :good vocal and instru- mental selectimis, and a recitation by Miss Ramage, and the meeting was closed with the National An- them, but not till a liberal supply of coffee and the most tempting edibles had been rgpidly'disposed of by the delighted and cheer inspired audience. We regret to learn of the very unexpected death in Mt. Forest, of Mrs. Pickering, mother of Dr. Pickering of this town.
