To us stthe worst she will hide over Orleans, seross the Mississippi, Alabaâ€" ma, Georgia, South Carolina, North Cnrolina and part of Virginia, to Cape Henry oA the Atlantic Coast, and have a length 1500 miles and a breadth varyâ€" ing from 40 miles at New Orleans to 60 at Cape Henry. At Toronto which will be about 500 miles distant from the eclipse track, the phenomenon will be a very notable one, more than fourâ€"fifths of the sun‘s face being hbhidden by the moon. In this part of Canada the eclipse will begin about 8 o‘clock in the morning and end a little after 10 o‘clock, the phase of greatest obscuration ocâ€" cutring atout 9 o‘clock. #3 n 11 Th Th nc D 0. 4 Co., 31st Regiment (not Batt now) is called out by Captain Sn practice on the two Saturday ev : previous to June 12, when | ment leaves for Niagara Camp. _ W H nteen tD M H th W r Spt XI M me NoTrIcER. â€"Al Laidlaw will Uurl t the wor old sol‘s the U once valuable biographical matter« )«s, the wellâ€"known literateur s a clever revolutionary story, dv of Bess Doane." â€" Among Are Ix â€" MicmiGax.â€" The "St. erprise" of April 26th, has ng notice of the marriage .ean, son of Mr, Neil McLean ntinck. who has been there the Dunh Nection DL falt back on smoked glass, arations are being made to eclipse, which will be total a path extending from New lle it AVI sol‘s I N W us wh H Th being m LN( LPLS On ant it M h Sc tl Reporter last we i {t PA he H iming countenance want to watch the haye no telescope c on smoked glass, are being made to (Green M im Ho parties indel»te(ll please call and ish or note, as view € h M T‘l \V()l lusti LC i1 it 1C6 ains ten pot iphical matter U irnishin k factory to l is interferâ€" the students institution.

Surely . the time has come for: farmers after impeutod warnings for imany yeare to fight shy of all strangers who require } them to put pen to paper. ilt The business of the clothâ€"peddlar or as he is familiarly known the *Shoddy Peddlar" seems still to be attractive enough to induce men to engage in it, They have a bankrupt stock, or a stock slightly damaged by water or by fire, or in some other way are mysteriously able to offer unheard of bargains. to honest and unsuspecting furmers and others,. â€" A feature of the transaction is that no one can pick what they want,. They imust take a bundle, always of some value, say of $45 as it was 25 years ago, but now a presentâ€"day operator has it down to $29, and one persistent "pmigger" has the laugh on his neighâ€" bors, we hear, because he succeeded in getting his down to $25. A sign that the business is getting more difficult is seen in the plan now adopted to make tempting offers to buy as well as to sell ancd it is this feature which has tempted many to stock themâ€" selves with shoddy, because forsooth they were to get a price and a half for eggs, for cattle, for tailoring of their goods etc. Tailor Robertson has informed us he was asked for a wholesale price to make up clothing _ Mr. John A. Black was engaged to butcher cattle when the reâ€" frigerator came to town on the 15th of May. â€" The car did not come but no doubt is to come soon, the cattle have yet to be held by the farmer, the eggs are still undelivered (except we believe Mr. Jas, Baxter, who wishing to test the golden offer followed the agent to town, and was paid 18¢ for them.) The tailor and the butcher are not yet to work, but no doubt precious bundles are being sold bigger than ever, and an extra piece throwa in to clese the barâ€" gain with the best still to come in the shape of splendid value for farm proâ€" duce ete,â€"when the refrigerator car comes. All this has a show of genuineâ€"« ness which is toc cateh the un wary Not all farmers were as wide awake as Mr. Robt.
