CAI-ITAI,, Paid-up, $1,200.000 • 325,000 BRODIE Many readers of this paper will be surprised and shocked to notice chronicled elsewhere in this paper, the sudden and unexpected death of Mr David Brodie, son of our esteemed friend, Mr Andrew Brodie, and brother of Mr Thos Brodie, of this place. As sudden and unexpected as the dropping of a thunderbolt from a cloudless sky, came the news of his peculiar accident and quickly following this the sad intelli- gence of his decease, looked upon as one who had only reached the prime of life, and in possession of all the powers of a strong and vigorous manhood, and still imbued with the spirit of youth, his friends and acquaintances could hardly realize that he who was so lately with us, in the full enjoyment of life could so soon be stretched under death’s cold hand. Receiv- ing the blow’ which caused his death on ^Vednesday morning, the 27th inst, he lived in constant pain until Thursday night at 12 p.m. when the call came. All that medical aid could do was kindly rend- ered but it was of no avail. The funeral took place on Saturday to the family bury- ing ground, and was largely attended. The deceased leaves behind him his aged father, three sisters and three brothers to mourn his loss. The bereaved family have the symathy of the community at large. The many friends of Mr Chas Aaselin are glad to know that under the able treat- ment of Dr Cbolette he will soon be able to resume work again. Wo were sorry to learn of the loss our friend Thos Jamieson, sustained in losing a valuable horse. Mr Norman McRae is visiting friends at Dunvegan.

Messrs B Munroc and A StcRae, our representative Foresters, attended the regular meeting at Apple Hill on Thursday evening. On Friday evening a most enjoyable Hallowe’en social was held at the residence of Mr John JIcCrimmon, of Glen Roy. Mr and Mrs McCrimmon did all in their power to make the entertainment a success and succeeded admirably. Among the best items on the programme was the singing of the Misses M McLennan and B McCrim- mon and the violin playing of Mr Fred Hays w’ere much appreciated. About 12 o’clock cake, coffee, Ac., were then served around after which the entertainment was brought to an end by a few closing airs including “God Save the Queen.” What might have proved a serious accident occurred on Slonday morning as the milk waggons of Messrs H Ross and Jerry Lagruo were returning from the factory. Both boys who svere driving claimed to have the faster horse and in the race which ensued the waggons collided and one of them thrown into the ditch while the horse belonging toit ran off with the shafts. Neither of the occupants were injured. Remember that Sleeman’s ales are neither pasteurized or carbonated but made from the purest malt and hops.

A good deal of life has characterized some of the loading markets, but just at the moment things do not appear (juite as active as they were in the early part of the weeli. This is probably due to the pause in the wheat market. For a week or more past this cereal has been making rapid strides in the direction of the dollar mark, and the advance to a great extent stimu- lated the other markets. Wheat at one time in Chicago went within a couple of cents of the dollar lino, but in Canada it has been relatively higher. Manitoba wheat for instance is selling equivalent lo about $1.06 Toronto freights and $1.03 Goderich and Midland. The Manitoba farmers in fact have fared well this year and have been getting relatively higher prices than their neighbors across the line in North Dakota. Not so, however, with the Ontario farmers. One of the leading millers stated on change yesterday that Ontario wheat has been too low for a year past and tho records of prices show that he is right. Even at present it will be found that Ontario wheat is selling a good deal under the American markets. Why there should be a difference is diffi- cult to say. The miller in (luestion said it was partly due to the fact that buyers as a rule couldn’t succeed in getting any large lots together, but it is scarcely possible that it is accountable for all the difference. Tho export trade is still quite active though it is being somewhat hindered by the fact that there is getting to bo quite a scarcity of freight space to tho other side. Operations in grain and flour have been a good deal restricted on this account, as well as in a number of other lines. Tho general run of merchants note very fair collections during the week, and say that altogether they have no special cause for complaint at the way things are going. The stock market has been quiet active and fairly bullish in tone. Halifax Ry.was one of tiie features and on one occasion took a leap of 7 points to IIC inside of a couple of hours. Canadian Dacific was held just about steady, and Montreal Street Ry. has been moderately active and firmer. The money market is (juoted on the basis of to 4 per cent, the feeling still being quiet easy. The market started off quite active this week, but has since quieted down quiet a bit. The demand has been good enough, but shippears say that the main difficulty has been in securing sufficient space oa the steamers going to the other side. The ab- sence of space has no doubt killed quiet a lot of business that might otherwise have gone through. As to prices there has been no material change with the tone of the market keeping just about steady. Oats liave sold on pretty much the same basis as a year ago, while buckwheat has been just a shade easier owing to lack of demand and the fact that offerings are rather heavy. Business in this grade has been done as low as 37ic. Peas arc in pretty much the same position as they were last week and rye and barley arc nominal. Wheat is steady. The farmers in Win- nipeg have been getting S5c to SGc for No. 1 hard and at interior points the range for the same grade has been 7'Jc to 82c. De- cember wheat in Chicago was quoted tins afternoon at '.)6J to 06Ac. Oats 26 to 26Tc Peas 52 to 53o For years the desirability of building nn ; Buckwheat, iom" ' !! 1)7* to 38c l-;oglish church in the vicinity of Lancast- Barley in store 3? to 40c er has been discussed, there seems to be a Corn in store Nominal probability that the idea will in the y Rye, nom. 301 to 51o iture materialize. Duncan JIcLen-T near future nan. Esq., of Ridgewood, wo understand, is an advocate of the scheme and has prom- ised substantial help for the project. Rumor has it, that the church and Rectory will be built not far from Ridgewood. The regular meeting of the Liberal Club of Lancaster will be held on Thursday evening, Nov. lUh.

When the wheat boom was at its height, tho millers put their prices up a liitlo and so far, although wheat has sagged off a little, they have been pretty well maintained. Good buying orders bave been received from almost all points of tho country aud not a little business has dono on export account. Millers, however, have also experienced the want of ocean space forward from Montreal last week. liOcally the demand is also quiet, but there is a little business doing at about the following Finest creamery 18 to ISj Seconds 17J to 17;/ Dairy butter 144 to 15 Export business in eggs has been fair although at the moment it is rather quiot. No. 1 are quoted at 15c to 15.4c and pickled stock at 12c to 13c. I-IV1-: .STOCK The markets oa the other side arc in exceedingly bad shape and exporters here are said to be losing all the way from $8 to $12 a head on recent consignments. Can- adian cattle are faring bad particularly selling at a discount under Americans, owing to the inferior quality. Prices locally are about steady. Good beeves sold in the butchers market at 3^c to -Jc, fuir at 3c to 3.4c, common at 2,J to 2.^o and inferior at ifcto 2c.

The Pupils of the Lancaster Public School, Assisted by Lecal Tal- ent, Furnish an Evening of Healthful Enjoyment to Parents and Friends. McRae’s Hall, Lancaster, presented a fairy appearance on Friday evening of last week on the occasion of the hold- ing of a concert under the auspices of the pupils of the Public School of that town. The NEWS represen- tative was early on the scene and thus had ample opportunity of mentally noting the handsome wall decorations, tho tasty anaugement of Hags, bunting, etc., and the really artistic stage settings, mottoes done in evergreen, wreaths in natural maple leaves, all the work of the children, giving evidence of the strong spirit ofCan- adianism with which their sentiments are imbued. The stage was under the joint management of Messrs. Arthur Stafford and Rob. Nicholson and the long and varied programme went witliout a single hitch, which proved that they were tho- roughly competent for a position that at all times is difficult to fill. The concert was advertised to commence at 8 o’clock, but long before that hour the hall began to fill till by the time the cur- tain was rung up, every seat in the hall was taken and even standing room was at a premium. D. M. Macpliersoii, Esq., DI.P.P., as chairman, formally introduced each num- ber and when the hour arrived for the pre- sentation of certificates to the lucky w’ln* ners, delivered an effective address on the importance of education, etc.,which was in- terestingly listened to by young and old. A piano duet by the Misses J. I5ougie and G. Whyte, the opening number ou th-o programme, was artistically rendered and therefore duly appreciated. Tho choruses “The Land of the Maple” by the-’ pupils under the leadership of Mr. H. Col- lins, and that also of “The Maple Leaf,” which was given later on in thecvening,were sung with such evident dash and spirit that the large audience could not do any- thing else blit enthuse and call for encores. “Y’^ou’ve Jlissed a Line,” a recitation by blaster Allie McDonell was very good. Tlien appeared nine very small young ladies in a Lullaby song. Their costumes, the manner in which they handled their dolls, and the unision of action throughout the song, created much mirth and at the same time showed that they had been well trained. The Lancaster String Orchestra next made their appearance in the persons of Messrs. Morehouse and Bolster, and for ten minutes the audience were treated to old Negro melodies and other familiar selections, too seldom now heard, in such a pleasing way that they had to respond to a double encore. A French dialogue “Les Deux Sourdes” was tlien put on,thc characters being taken by the Misses E. and Jennie Bougie. Both young ladies acquitted themselves in a favorable manner, little Miss Jennie being particularly clever in her role. Tlie “sun flower”song was one of tho best numbers on the programme. When the curtain was rung up, a scene upon whicii sun flowers had been painted, with the faces of seven or eight charming young ladies showing among tho flowers was seen. The posing was capital and the whole scene presented a very pretty picture. Miss Katie Howard’s recitation “The I5uttered Banisters,” gave proof that, that voung lady was possessed of a most reten- tive memory as well as considerable elocu- tionary ability. At this stage of tho entertainment Rev. !\Ir. Graham, in the unavoidable absence of Dr. McDi.umid, presented the long delayed certificates to the pupils. Mr. Graham’s opening remarks, as well as his words of encouragement to the children, wore nicely chosen and very appropriate to the occasion, 'fhe following received cer- tificates : Public School Leaving—The and E.

The Wand drill by sixteen young ladies robed in white dresses decorated with rosettes rivaled the tabl-iaux in the appreci- ation of the audience.

BRODIE Many readers of this paper will be
surprised and shocked to notice chronicled elsewhere in this paper, the sudden and unexpected death of Mr David Brodie, son of our esteemed friend, Mr Andrew Brodie, and brother of Mr Thos Brodie, of this place. As sudden and unexpected as the dropping of a thunderbolt from a cloudless sky, came the news of his peculiar accident and quickly following this the sad intelli- gence of his decease, looked upon as one who had only reached the prime of life, and in possession of all the powers of a strong and vigorous manhood, and still imbued with the spirit of youth, his friends and acquaintances could hardly realize that he who was so lately with us, in the full enjoyment of life could so soon be stretched under death’s cold hand. Receiv- ing the blow’ which caused his death on ^Vednesday morning, the 27th inst, he lived in constant pain until Thursday night at 12 p.m. when the call came. All that medical aid could do was kindly rend- ered but it was of no avail. The funeral took place on Saturday to the family bury- ing ground, and was largely attended. The deceased leaves behind him his aged father, three sisters and three brothers to mourn his loss. The bereaved family have the symathy of the community at large.
The many friends of Mr Chas Aaselin are glad to know that under the able treat- ment of Dr Cbolette he will soon be able to resume work again.

On Friday evening a most enjoyable Hallowe’en social was held at the residence of Mr John JIcCrimmon, of Glen Roy. Mr and Mrs McCrimmon did all in their power to make the entertainment a success and succeeded admirably. Among the best items on the programme was the singing of the Misses M McLennan and B McCrim- mon and the violin playing of Mr Fred Hays w’ere much appreciated. About 12 o’clock cake, coffee, Ac., were then served around after which the entertainment was brought to an end by a few closing airs including “God Save the Queen.”
What might have proved a serious accident occurred on Slonday morning as the milk waggons of Messrs H Ross and Jerry Lagruo were returning from the factory.

OUR COMMERCIflL LETTER. MONTREAL, Oct. 27th.
A good deal of life has characterized some of the loading markets, but just at the moment things do not appear (juite as active as they were in the early part of the weeli. This is probably due to the pause in the wheat market. For a week or more past this cereal has been making rapid strides in the direction of the dollar mark, and the advance to a great extent stimu- lated the other markets. Wheat at one time in Chicago went within a couple of cents of the dollar lino, but in Canada it has been relatively higher. Manitoba wheat for instance is selling equivalent lo about $1.06 Toronto freights and $1.03 Goderich and Midland. The Manitoba farmers in fact have fared well this year and have been getting relatively higher prices than their neighbors across the line in North Dakota. Not so, however, with the Ontario farmers. One of the leading millers stated on change yesterday that Ontario wheat has been too low for a year past and tho records of prices show that he is right. Even at present it will be found that Ontario wheat is selling a good deal under the American markets.
Why there should be a difference is diffi- cult to say. The miller in (luestion said it was partly due to the fact that buyers as a rule couldn’t succeed in getting any large lots together, but it is scarcely possible that it is accountable for all the difference.
Tho export trade is still quite active though it is being somewhat hindered by the fact that there is getting to bo quite a scarcity of freight space to tho other side. Operations in grain and flour have been a good deal restricted on this account, as well as in a number of other lines.
Tho general run of merchants note very fair collections during the week, and say that altogether they have no special cause for complaint at the way things are going.
The stock market has been quiet active and fairly bullish in tone. Halifax Ry.was one of tiie features and on one occasion took a leap of 7 points to IIC inside of a couple of hours. Canadian Dacific was held just about steady, and Montreal Street Ry. has been moderately active and firmer. The money market is (juoted on the basis of to 4 per cent, the feeling still being quiet easy.
The market started off quite active this week, but has since quieted down quiet a bit. The demand has been good enough, but shippears say that the main difficulty has been in securing sufficient space oa the steamers going to the other side. The ab- sence of space has no doubt killed quiet a lot of business that might otherwise have gone through. As to prices there has been no material change with the tone of the market keeping just about steady. Oats liave sold on pretty much the same basis as a year ago, while buckwheat has been just a shade easier owing to lack of demand and the fact that offerings are rather heavy. Business in this grade has been done as low as 37ic. Peas arc in pretty much the same position as they were last week and rye and barley arc nominal.
Wheat is steady. The farmers in Win- nipeg have been getting S5c to SGc for No. 1 hard and at interior points the range for the same grade has been 7'Jc to 82c. De- cember wheat in Chicago was quoted tins afternoon at '.)6J to 06Ac.
Oats 26 to 26Tc Peas 52 to 53o
For years the desirability of building nn ; Buckwheat, iom" ' !! 1)7* to 38c l-;oglish church in the vicinity of Lancast- Barley in store 3? to 40c er has been discussed, there seems to be a Corn in store Nominal

The Hour market has been active and liigher. When the wheat boom was at its height, tho millers put their prices up a liitlo and so far, although wheat has sagged off a little, they have been pretty well maintained. Good buying orders bave been received from almost all points of tho country aud not a little business has
dono on export account. Millers, however, have also experienced the want of ocean space
forward from Montreal last week. liOcally the demand is also quiet, but there is a little business doing at about the following

M ENJOYABLE GONGERT. The Pupils of the Lancaster Public
School, Assisted by Lecal Tal- ent, Furnish an Evening of
Healthful Enjoyment to Parents and
Friends.
McRae’s Hall, Lancaster, presented a fairy appearance on Friday evening of last week on the occasion of the hold- ing of a concert under the auspices of the pupils of the Public School of that town. The NEWS represen- tative was early on the scene and thus had ample opportunity of mentally noting the handsome wall decorations, tho tasty anaugement of Hags, bunting, etc., and the really artistic stage settings, mottoes done in evergreen, wreaths in natural maple leaves, all the work of the children, giving evidence of the strong spirit ofCan- adianism with which their sentiments are imbued. The stage was under the joint management of Messrs. Arthur Stafford and Rob. Nicholson and the long and varied programme went witliout a single hitch, which proved that they were tho- roughly competent for a position that at all times is difficult to fill.
The concert was advertised to commence at 8 o’clock, but long before that hour the hall began to fill till by the time the cur- tain was rung up, every seat in the hall was taken and even standing room was at a premium.
D. M. Macpliersoii, Esq., DI.P.P., as chairman, formally introduced each num- ber and when the hour arrived for the pre- sentation of certificates to the lucky w’ln* ners, delivered an effective address on the importance of education, etc.,which was in- terestingly listened to by young and old.
A piano duet by the Misses J. I5ougie and G. Whyte, the opening number ou th-o programme, was artistically rendered and therefore duly appreciated. Tho choruses “The Land of the Maple” by the-’ pupils under the leadership of Mr. H. Col- lins, and that also of “The Maple Leaf,” which was given later on in thecvening,were sung with such evident dash and spirit that the large audience could not do any- thing else blit enthuse and call for encores. “Y’^ou’ve Jlissed a Line,” a recitation by blaster Allie McDonell was very good.
Tlien appeared nine very small young ladies in a Lullaby song. Their costumes, the manner in which they handled their dolls, and the unision of action throughout the song, created much mirth and at the same time showed that they had been well trained.
The Lancaster String Orchestra next made their appearance in the persons of Messrs. Morehouse and Bolster, and for ten minutes the audience were treated to old Negro melodies and other familiar selections, too seldom now heard, in such a pleasing way that they had to respond to a double encore.
A French dialogue “Les Deux Sourdes” was tlien put on,thc characters being taken by the Misses E. and Jennie Bougie. Both young ladies acquitted themselves in a favorable manner, little Miss Jennie being particularly clever in her role.
Tlie “sun flower”song was one of tho best numbers on the programme. When the curtain was rung up, a scene upon whicii sun flowers had been painted, with the faces of seven or eight charming young ladies showing among tho flowers was seen. The posing was capital and the whole scene presented a very pretty picture.
Miss Katie Howard’s recitation “The I5uttered Banisters,” gave proof that, that voung lady was possessed of a most reten- tive memory as well as considerable elocu- tionary ability.
At this stage of tho entertainment Rev. !\Ir. Graham, in the unavoidable absence of Dr. McDi.umid, presented the long delayed certificates to the pupils. Mr. Graham’s opening remarks, as well as his words of encouragement to the children, wore nicely chosen and very appropriate to the occasion, 'fhe following received cer- tificates : Public School Leaving—The

Mr. Collins being called upon thanked one and all for their generous patronage and by their presence giving encourage- ment to the pupils. He made the plcas.vnt announcement that the receipts of the evening were in the neighborhood of $85.00
now he in a position to r school. His object and that

To gain that desired end he woultl ask the hearty and generous {sym[)athy <J the parents and friends, 'i'lie loud applause when ?Ir. Collins ro Slimed his seat testified to the high ap- preciation witli which his efforts to “train the young iaea ’’ are looked upon by tlie parents.
The programme was then proceeded with Mr. W. J. Stafford being the next to appear on tho stage as a negro swell who believed there was going to be a “ Hot time in the old town.” Mr. Stafford’s make up was capital, his stage presence that of the negro swell to perf**ction aud his rendition of the song left nothing to be dosir-vd, in fact lie is one of the best amateur comic singers we have ever seen. He is a host in himself and the people knew it and testi- fied to tho fact by insisting Oii his appear- ance several times during the evening.

“ Guardian Angel,” tlie closing number, were staged with that minuteness of detail that brought out the beauties of the char- acters enacted. Tho tableaus were alone worth the price of admission.
I’art II opened with an instrumental selection by Messrs. Morehouse and Bolster after which the “ Tlie Glories of Canada ” were depicted in tho course of a well delivered recitation by Miss i\Iarion Houston. A. G. McBean, Esq., who was to have delivered an address, being detain- ed in jMontreal, the audience hod to forego the pleasure of hearing that gentleman.
The Wand drill by sixteen young ladies robed in white dresses decorated with rosettes rivaled the tabl-iaux in the appreci- ation of the audience. That they had been carefully trained was made apparent by the precision with which the many intricate movements were gone through with and won for the ladies a well meiitcd encore.
The kindergarten song “ The busy little mothers ” was ablj’ rxecuted as was tho boat song “ Tho golden boat.” Master George Robinson’s essay on the elephant was most amusing. Tho instrumental selections by Messrs. Dforchoiise, Bolster aud Thompson were of that inspiring nature that fairly brought d nvu the house. A song by Miss Mabel Maepherson was one of the treats of tho evening. The tableau “ The Guardian Angel ’• done in several scenes witli the Misses Mary Fraser, Graham and Helen St.afford as the princi- pals was a fitting closing to what from start to finish proved to be a capital enter- tainment. After singing God save the Queen the audience dispersed seemingly well satisfied with th eefforts put forth by teach- ers pupils and friends to furnish them an evening of healthful amusement. Wo con- gratulate Mr. Collins and the pupils and hope to again have the pleasure of attend- ing a concert under their immediate auspices.

Latest returns from Newfoundland in-
dicate that in the gen'.ral < ''>:n~rs held
there on Thursday la-t, the Whiteway
Government was defeated. The returns
come in very slowly in that colony.
Last week Henry George,the great single
tax advocate, passed away at his homo in
New York. Mr. George was essentially a
self made man, and his was an exceedingly
busy life. Ilis lh(;ories on the single tax
question were distasteful to many yet all
acknowledge his wonderful ability. lie
was one of the four candidates for the
mayoralty of Greater New York, and it is
said that his chances of winning wore ex-
cellent. The followirg tribute to Mr.
Georgo was paid by Rev. Father McGlynn :
“He was a pure man, of a most lovable
nature. He was a great man. His fame
will be enduring and will grow greater as
each year flies past.”
The contract for carrying the British
mails is as good as settled. It was up at
the Cabinet meeting Friday and tlic gov-
ernment was likely to accept the offer of
the Beaver Steamship Line, which is to
run a weekly service from St. John, N.B.,
to Liverpool, making Halifax a port of call.
This will comply with the terms asked for
by the government. The terminus of the
company being at a Canadian port. Mr.
Campbell, the agent of the Beaver Line,
was here yesterday, and left for Montreal
last evening. He will return on Monday
and close the negotiations with the Hon.
R. W. Scott, who is acting Minister of
Trade and Commerce. The Beaver Line
will, of course, get the full subsidy, which
the Dominion and Allan Lines lose in re-
fusing to make their terminus at a Can-
adian port.
The Cornwall “Standard” in its editorial
on the ReformConvcntiou.has made several
glaring mistatements, among others, to
use its own words :—“ It appears that
at a meeting of the executive and promi-
nent friends of the party hold a couple of
weeks ago,Mr.McRae moved that the nomi-
nation be made by a secret ballot.”
The statement is false. Mr. McRae was
not the mover of the resolution. The
editor of this paper moved it and BIr. John
Bl. BIcCallum of Martintown was the
seconder. The reason for having that
motion adopted was that it is the usual

a political opponent.
BOTH GOOD MEN.
At the lato convention of the Liberal party of this county practically only two names were submitted to the delegates from which to select tho candidate to be the standard bearer of tho party at the coming provincial election. David M. Maepherson, Esq., who is now the repre- sentativo of the county in the Provincial Legislature, and Duncan C. BIcRae, Esq., of the township of Lancaster.
No two better names could have been selected from the many good men in the Liberal ranks. They are both men with splendid records. D. M. Blacphcrson is a gentleman known throughout the provinces of Ontario and Quebec as the cheese king of Canada and is one of the most progres- sive farmers in tho province of Ontario. He is ‘recognized as an authority on the methods of farming and stock feeding now in vogue among farmers. His life, which
has been an active one, has been devoted to the building up of the interests of the farmers of the country and no man has done more to raise the standard of the science of Agriculture than has BIr. Blacpherson. It was not surprising in , view of these facts that the Patrons of Industry of the county of Glengarry select- ed him in 1893 as the candidate to repre- sent them in the then pending election. His candidature was endorsed by the Liberal party as the LiberaU believed that the principles of the Patrons of Industry were almost identical with their own and in Mr. Maepherson they believed those principles would be worthily upheld. Mr. Blacphcr- son was elected by a large majority and his whole course in parliament justified the expectation of those who sent him there. He has faithfully attended to the duties
' of bis position and has ever been eager to present the claims of the agricultural class of the country upon the government and we believe wo are giving expression to the general sentiment of the county when we say that no man stands higher in the esteem of tho electors of Glengarry than Mr. Maepherson.
We will not attempt to give the reason or reasons for his non-selection as a candidate at the coming election, as wo are not aware that any special reasons can be given or that any fault has been found with his course in parliament. There are no dictators in the Liberal ranks. Every Liberal in tho county has a voice in the selection of the standard bearer and the method adopt- ed at the convention was the ono proposed by a meeting of tho Liberals held previous to tho convention, viz : that two delegates should be chosen by tlie Liberal electors of each polling sub-division in the county who by that meeting would bo instructed to vote for tho candidate whom it considered would be the strongest. JCvery polling sub division we believe was represented. Sixty-one delegates voted, thirty voting for Mr.Maepherson and thirty-ono for Mr. BIc- Rae ; the vote being so very close is conclu- sive evidence that Mr. Blacpherson is held in very liigh esteem by tho Liberal electors of the county. Wc said there arc no dic- tators in the Liberal ranks, that the voice
of the majority must decide and the vote having resulted in tlic selection of BIr. Mc- Rae as the standard bearer of the party, we are satisfied that liie Liberals will loyally support llie choice of tho conven- tion, wlio is a gentleman well known throughout the county, lie has had wide experience in tlic municipal cuunci! of his township and in the county council and is
THE GLENGARRY NEWS, ALEXANDRIA, ONT., NOVEMBER 5- 1897. DOW county counoiDor for the township of Lancaster. His interests are identical with those of the other fanners of the county and his whole life has been spent amongst us. IJis life, both public and pri- vate, lias ever been without reproach and no man in Glengarry is better fitted to represent the interests of this county, than is BIr. McRae. No Liberal in tl'.e county bas done better service or been more loyal to the party than he has
been, no Liberal in the ranks of the party better deserves the honor of being its standard bearer, and we mistake much the Liberals of this county if they do not with hearty accord support BIr. McRae. And we firmly believe that no Liberal in the ranks will bo found to assist Mr. BIcRae in the coming contest, more than our present member, Mr. Maepherson, who at the con- vention in manly and outspoken words promised to do all he could for tho choice of the convention.
OTTAWA, Nov. 1st.
TORY FORLORN HOPE.
It is said history repeats itself, and of the truth of which, if it holds good, we are now soon to have a case in point to deter- mine. In the beginning of the winter of 1875, a Liberal government was iu power at Ottawa, when the local contest for the province of Ontario took place resulting in the triumphant return of the Provincial Liberals to power. The opening of the coming new year will again witness a similar state of things in the history of Ontario. Then, as now, Tory hopes and aspirations were all centered in capturing the province, and to intrench a Tory gov- ernment at Toronto, in order to obtain a strong position from which to attack the Federal government of tho day. As it is recorded, however, that Ontario was not then delivered over into tlic hands of the Opposition in 1875, so, to follow out the historical sequence, Toryism is not to triumph in the grand old province, in 1898. The Tory battle-cry seems only one—that it is time for a change—merely because Liberals have governed so long in the pro- vince. So it would be did such a condition of things exist in the Liberal provincial ad- ministration as distinguished tho Tory Federal Government during its concurrent term of office. But it would be singular, indeed, if there could be found in Canada, or out of it, a majority of people wearied of being governed wisely and well, and who sighed for a change which could not do otherwise than react and bring a curse in- stead of a blessing. Such a people would be about as intelligent as the foolish frogs of the fable, who, tiring of the good rule of KingLog raised aTory-like cry for a change to Jupiter who, to punish, sent to them King Stork which speedily devoured them all.
Sir Adolphe Caron at the Conservative rally in Ottawa, last week, after roundly abusing Liberal government, both Federal and I’rovincial for alleged misruleand mis- representation, predicted, with tho greatest self-assurance, a signal success for Conser- vatives in tho forthcoming provincial con- test, saying that the signs of the times were quite apparent. Thus spoke a typicalTory, It is, however, the prime Tory characteris- tic, to which I have more than once alluded, not to be able to discern any good in anything or any body beyond the pale of his own party-faith and sur- roundings. Tlie Hon. Georgo Brown once wrote :—“ Conservatives or, as they used to be called, Tories, have always claimed to be tho very “ superior class.” Accord- ing to their own account, they have per- petually enjoyed an all but exclusive monopoly of all the “ sweetness and light.” They, and only they, were and are “ gentle- men,” in the conventional sense of the term. To religion they have always laid an equally exclusive claim, being, we have been assured, orthodox, decorous, enlight- ened and non-fanatical in their adherence to the church and its decent ceremonials. Of course they have been loyal, to a proverb, and all their opponents have been rather tinged with political proclivities too offensive to be specially mentioned. In short they have served themselves sole inheritors of all the virtues, and have daily in the midst of their regular petitions, thanked heaven that they were not as other men are, not radicals, not embryo rebels, not dissenters, not disloyal, not vulgar, not vicious, not anything that is bad, but clear in judgment, pure in morals, refined in manners, sensitive to a fault, chivalrous in honor, the very typo of all that is lofty in aim, and upright and successful in execu- tion.” It is this peculiar characteristic which attracts and astonishes, and perhaps excites a fictitious sort of confidence in the minds of those who have no particular party leanings, but fails to inspire anyone with respect or admiration for their morals or their judgment, but what is curious about it all is that iu the practical obser- vance of these very virtues, the usual course of Tory conduct has shown a lam- entable difference. When any personal or party end has to be secured, all these self- arrogated, surface qualities go the right- about, and the true inwardness of the Conservative character rises to the front.
Tho opportunity will soon again present itself for a repetition of tho old-time Tory tactics, and it behooves the electorate of Ontario to be on its guard against the cunning and artifice of an unscrupulous foe to political decency and good government. Sir Adolphe said it was “ the duty of every true Conservative to work hard to defeat the Liberals,” and we have learned by past experience,what kind o£“work”every“true” Tory gets in during an election campaign. History, in this respect also, will undoubt- edly repeat itself in the desperate attempt of tho opposition to capture Ontario—the forlorn hope of the Tories.
Almost everybody has heard of, or read the story of Faust. In this tragic tale there is an evil genius controlling events, in which he does not appear, but at the last brings about a touching and terrible catastrophe, although his supreme object is not attained. A part not uniilse this will probably be played by the leader of the Opposition in the Federal Parliament, during the progress of tho provincial fight his plan seems to be to lieep quiet, at present, merely contenting himself in speculating upon the problem of how “the cat will jump,” but it is he who has map- ped out tlie plan of campaign, if any plan there be, by which he hopes to overcome the Hardy administration. His is the dark mephistopbelian figure, lurking in the background, but ever near controlling every move on the Opposition stage and inspir- ing every actor. His aim cannot be too clearly brought to the atteutiou of tho cicctoi's of Ontario. His strategy is to seize upon the government of the province so as to employ it r.s a great vantage gtouiiil from which to t>iorin the entrench- ments of the present government of Cana- da, and finally lead his demoralized forces
back again to power. But like theBtephiste of Fausc he will fail in his supreme desire. The rules of Conservative morality, and that party’s conception of honest and economic administration arc too well known in Ontario, and have made for themselves too dark a page upon Canada’s political history, to be at this time mis- understood. If for once the Tory parly could lay violent hands upon the resources of Ontario, they would be manipulated with the one object in view—that of resur- recting their defunct regime to again hold high carnival at Ottawa, perform some more of their peculiar pranks, which dis- tinguished their dying days, and lay the foundations for another batch of shameless scandals, in dealing with the public trust, such as shocked the nation and disgraced Canada in the eyes of the civilized world.

from the Fort William Journal.
i In the town of Fort William lives a ^mve widow, who for years has by dint of Jîonstant labor kept the wolf from the door
ltd her little family together. From ^norning till night she toiled to provide comforts for her loved ones until nature at last protested against such a constant drain on her strength, and so she began to lose
Iheolih. Soon the slender fi*ame became unable to bear its daily load of toil, and the poor mother was at last forced to give up the unequal contest, and become a burden where she had once been the chief support. Servons prostration, heart disease, con*
' sumption, and other names were given to h.T malady by local physicians, but months p.assed, during which she suffered untold
• agony, without finding any relief from her I sufferings. Palpitation of the heart, diz- ziness, extreme pain in the chest, loss of appetite and nervousness were some of the kyjnptoms of the disease, gatherings that caused excruciating pain formed at the Iknee joints and other parts of the body, and :it last she becanm perfectly helpless and unable to walk or even sit op. At this stage she was advised to enter the hospital, .hat she might have the benefit of skilled aurses as well as best medical treatment ; kt after spending some time there witbont Itaining any relief the poor woman gave Vail hopes of recovery and asked to t« Jen home. So emaciated and weak bad

NHLSOX, B. C., Oct. 25th. ’97. DICAU 7IU.—The many friends of Mr. J.
M. MePheo throughout the county of Gleu- .garry will be pleased to learn that tbat gentleman was acquitted of the charge of
f forgery at the sitting of the Supreme > Court of B. C., held in this city during the ^ past week. I A brief history of the c.iso ia as follows : ISeveral months ago a petition was received ^t Victoria from Kaslo, praying for the Premoval from office of Mr McKeen, the
Gold Commissioner of the Slocan district. Attached to this petition were the names of most of the prominent miners, bankers and merchants of Kaslo. Several days after the receipt of this petition at Victoria tlie authorities their replied to the resid- ents of Kaslo whose names appeared on jtlio petition, stating that the charges against the commissioner so set forth in tins petition would be investigated. Upon receipt of this information from Victoria, icing the first intimation the people of taslo had of the existence of the petition
question, a reply was sent back to the ect that the petition was not signed in
aslo and saying that it was a forged locumcnt. A quiet investigation was lade by the Attorney General's Depart-
inent with the result that Mr. MePhee i/as arrested on suspicion, r At the trial the crown was represented by Mr. W. A. McDonald, Q.C., and Mr.
■ MoPhee was defended by P. J. Davis, of the Vancouver Bar, who was at one time Attorney General of the Province, and Mr. N. Gallagher of the local Bar. A great many wittnesses wore called by the
'crown but not the slightest evidence was elicited that would point to MePhee as the guilty party. The case was given to the
&iry after a trial lasting two days and they ■wrought in a verdict for McPhec in less
than five minutes. Mr. Donald R. Morrison, formerly of
t Green Valley, and Mr. and Mrs. John Mc- Lennan, formerly of the 3rd Lancaster, attended the fruit fair at Spokane this month. At the Fair Mrs. McLennan met her brother, Mr. Mclutosh whom she bad not met in many years. V Yours and etc.,

GROWING MUSHROOMS.
Desirable Places For the Heds—Conditions Upon Which Success üependa.
Mushrooms are easy to grow, and be- ginners arc often quite .succc.ssful with them. The iini)ortant thing is to keep tho spawn alive and spreading. Mn.sh- rooms are u winter crop, coining in from September till May—that is, the
6^
Ml'SnilOOM HF.D IN COOL CELLAR.
work of preparing tho manure begins in September and ends in February, .'Uid the packing of the crop begin.s in Octo- ber or November and ends in May. Un- der extraordinary' conditions the sca.son begins earlier and lasts longer and, in fact, may continue all summer.
Mushrooms can be grown almo-st any- where oi'.t of doors and also indoors whore there i.s a dry bottom on which to set tho bed.s. where a uniform and moderate temperature can bo maintained and where tho beds can be protected from wet overhead and from winds, drought and direct sunshine. To grow mushrooms for profit they should be cultivated only under the most favora- ble circumstances. Total darkness is not imporntive, but temperature and mois- ture are more apt to be equable in dark places, and it is largely for this reason that mushroom houses are kept dark.
A cellar is an excellent place in which to grow mushrooms. If the floor is free from w’ater, it matters not whether it is made of cement or of wood. Tho win- dows and doors should bo closed up and darkened. In case only a part of tho cel- lar is devoted to the beds, this part should bo partitiou(’d off with cheap boards, or if that i.s impracticable the beds themselves may bo covered over with mats, straw, etc., or may be board- ed up. If tho cellar i.s not lieated, tho beds should be built on the floor only and should be 14 inches deep. If the cellar is lioatod, Ix-.sides the bed.s on tho floor, shelf beds eight to ten inches deep be used. In tho ca.so of a cool cellar, a warm shed or a tunnel being given up altogether to mushrooms, it is not an uncommon way to spri'ad tho beds, or bod rather, all over tho. floor, with a path one board wide raised over tho bed.
A cave or a tunnel is practically tho same a.s a cellar, except that tliese are sehloni artificially' hcati'cl. For this rea- son the beds are sf'ldoiu in raised shelves,
SHELF REDS IN V/ARM CELLAR,
but aronoarivalwav.s built on tho floor. V ith b('ds built in thus wav and a good drv bottom. I'uve.s or tunnels make ex- cellent places in which to grow tho crop. A mushroom house is generally a
wooden building built above gi’ound or partly sunk. Any house or shed that can bo kept tight, warm and moderately moist will au.swcr. Tho empty spaces under tho benches in gi'eenliouses are good places for mushroom beds.—Wil- liam Falconer in Farmers’ Bulletin.
Storlus Fotatoes.
Potato crop rejiorts from all over the eastern states agree in stating that rot or blig.ht has widely prevailed. Rural New Yorker says: While it is like.ly that potatoes will bring a high price be- fore spring, our own plan this year is to sell the crop as soon as we conven- iently can. Storage in the damp soil during hot or muggy weather or in a warm, damp and clo.«o cellar wüi bo fa- vorable for tho groAvth of tho gejrms, and rot will surely spread through the tubers. Tho.se who can keep tho pota- toes in a dry, cool and well ventilated place may po.ssibly do better by holding them for a later trade.
Yv hen dug out of fields where the vinc.s have blighted, we would dust a handful of air slalicd lime over each bushel of potatoes intended for storage. For the benefit of succeeding crops we would rake up the vines and burn them nt once. Readers might as well make up their minds now that seed potatoes vill bo high next spring. Last April wo bought excellent seed at $1 per barrel. It is now impos.^îiblo to contract for the same varieties for next spring’s delivery for less than $3.

Silago or Corn Fodder?
The actual results of the trial? made et the New Jer.sey station to determine the cost and fiu'ding value of tlie diy matter of dried rorn fixldcr and of silage may he briefly .‘tatod as follows:
The cost of harvesting, storing and preparing the dry matter (contained in corn was greater in the form of silage than in the form of drii'd foilder.
The changes that occur in tho com- position of silagLi wore m)t such as to decrease its feeding value in a greater degree than those which occur in the proee.ss of curing corn fodder and that tho lo.--ses d le to Spoiling in the silo amount“d to 4 per cent of the total amount stoi-rd.
I'or milk a:rl butt(>r production the feeding value of the dry mattiT of the silage, was greater than that of tho dried fodder corn. The yield of milk was 12.8 p*r rent greater and tho yield of fat 10.4 per cent greater.

FIELD DEnniCK. of the derricks, with diagrams, is copied from The National Stockman. The con- trivance includes a temporary field der- rick, an exfemp(^rizcd wagon raedi, also a den’iek u.'^^ed at the liuskiug machine to unload tlie fodder from tlie wagon rack.
The writer .says: “I took wheels from an old mower for tlie roar wheels and have .smaller wheels in front made the same as caster wheels. With this small derrick I pick up a whole sliock of corn at once and load on to a wagon conven- iently located. The horse that operates the derrick then draws it forward to the next shock, and so on. I have a hay' sling trip on rope and when shock is brought around over load unlatch and the rope is released ready for next shock. ’ ’
Tho writer says of tho other derrick, which i.s used at the busker: “I liavo shwwn a .single rope, but I use block on dciTick at crib, so a team will ea.sily raise a load of from 10 to 12 shocks. Tho

Ilot'ion.“e Lamb!?.
Central New York is in the vci.r hot- bed of iiothouse lamb growing. Nearly all those engaged in sheep hu.?bandry pursue this line. On Monday and Tues- day morning.? tho railroad station plat- forms are incumbered with baby mut- tons ready for shipment. Every one is 8 weeks of age or under. The price ob- tained Feb. 21 was $7 each for best,
for seconds and $3 to $5 for inferior grades. And this brings up the oft re- peated question in regard to every farm product, “Why do not all farmer.? pro- duce the best when they can just as well as not?” There is money in hot- house lambs at$3 eacli. Why not? This is as much as Jainb.s grown out of doors bring at 6 months old. Tho ewes liavc extra feed only two months. How much extra feed can they consume in that time? It is said that it i.s a great deal of trouble to care for tho ewes and lambs. What would the farmer liave to do except for that? And is it not better for him to care for lambs in a warm fold in cold weather, when none gets chilled, than to care for them later when it is time to be at spring work? As answer to tliese questions I cannot name u person who has once grown hot- hou.se lambs who ever went back to tho old py.stem. This seems to .settle tho superiority of the new metliod.
But in selling these Iambs through commi.ssion dealeis, as in selling elaughtered pigs, dressed caive.s and Kr.me other pvi.ducts, great caution should b(i cb.Hetved in the selection of dealers. Roguc.s are plentiful among tbem. Two years ago lamb men liere got bitten bi;;;iy in the same way. My attention i.s c.ilie.il particularly to tliis danger just now [>y a neighbor coming down to (he station to notify other Iamb grower.? ^vho came w'itli lambs that a certain New York firm’s check had just been reliniKnl to him protested. Their shipping tags of the coiisifruments present wore clmngcd to the addresses of other dealers.—(^aien Wilson in Country' Genil'iimai.

CHEAP GREENHOUSES.
For Forcin{j Soino of tho M*»ic Hardy Vei!:etJiI>lc« During Early Winter.
Tliero is considerable demand for cheap forcing liouses suitable for grow- ing such vegetables as lettuce, spinach and radi:*hos during the fore p:irt of winter and vegetable plants from the latter part of February on until spring.
With a view to a.*isistin.g nader.s whe do not wish to invi^jA the money needed for a more ('laliorc.te himse or one de- tached from a Imildiug is hero repro- duced an illustration from Farm and Fii'csido of a forcing hou"0 built in Maryland. It is described n.s a lean tc and is (at least partially) built again.st the south si<le of the dwelling liousc, and in such a way that the Avhole .struc- ture can be taken down in spring and sash and sides safely jiacked away until the ap})roach of cold weather in the fall.
It will be seen ihat almost the only expense of tlio structure is in the saslios, and as the wooden ijijrtious of the sash- es are homemade the outlay is 'In reality only' in the glu^s. Tlio little framt which support:; the is easily put up by any one with ov.linary im-chanical skill, and whoro wood is identy and cheap without a cent’s outlay. Tho ex-
A “ LEAN” TO THE FORCING HOUSE,
pense for the few boards that aro need- ed is hardly worth mentioning either. In regard to heating this house tho au- thority quoted say.s:
“I do not know how this greenhouse is heated or whether it is heated at all. I .suppose a flue could oa.sily be laid through tho center of the house, ending in a chimney at tho higher side, and having a furnace for wood or coal (wh:itever may bo chcape.st or most ac- cessible) at the other. For spinncli forc- ing in Maryland, and oven as far north as central New .lersoy, artificial heat may be di.sponsed with, but it Avill be foiuid .safe and more convenient to have it. ’’
In this house a number of crops are groAvn in .succession every' winter, such as radishes, lettuce, straw’berries, etc., and then arc grown a good lot of vegeta- ble plant.?, after which tho house is taken down and the ground cropped with closely planted vegetables. The airing and tillage which tho land thus receives seem to keep it free from aphis and plant di.sea.ses, so tbat tho winter crops, although grown right along on the same soil, do not suffer from these enemies.
Making an Asparagns Bed.
Asparagus roots may bo planted in spring or fall, provided the ground is moderately dry ; other'wiso it is bettor to plant in the spring. The land must be well prepared and can hardly' bo toe rich. Good strong 1-yoar-old plants arc by many* preferred to older ones. For garden ciiltnro the row’s should be not less than three feet apart and tho roots planted two feet apart in tho rows. In field culture, Avhero horse cultivation is practiced, three to four feet of space is given each way.
Tho easiest way of planting is to make furrow’s with tho plow 10 or 12 inches deep. Iiicvcl and mellow tho bot- tom of these, and if the ground is not already' very rich spado in some decom- posed manure, filling up tho trenches so that tho bottom is about six inches be- low’ the surface of tho land. Plant the roots in the.se, covering them with throe inches ef soil, and as tho shoots grow fill in tho trench gradually until it i.s level. Tho ground is to bo kept melloAV and clear of weeds throughout the sea- son. After tW’O years a few stalks may bo cut off each year, but a full crop should not bo cut before tho third year. —American Agriculturist.

A PLURALITY OF 85,000.
Tammany’s victory in the first munici- pal election in Greater New York on Tnos:-
^ day was a sweeping one, carrying as tliey did the entire ticket and electing many members of the council.
WORKING RIGHT ALONG
Davis it Sons, of Cornwall, liavu begun night work on their contract for the Car- dinal section of the I'ldwardsburg Canal, ahd steam shovels are now running night and day. Their object is to have as much work as possible accomplished before the ground freezes up.
ENJOYED THE APPLES
The small boy and girl were greatly in evidence in front of the NKWK ofiice onMon- day night, the cause being that all were awaiting in anxious expectancy the annual barrel of apples distributed at Hollowe’cn by the Nmvs. Needless to say all enjoyed the fun.
ALL SAINTS DAY
Monday bfeing All Saints Day, a feast of obligation in the Catholic church, services similar to those held on Sundays was held in the Cathedral and were very largely attended by the faithful. The streets from the fact that the majority of the shops were closed, presented a Sunday appearance.
HIS LORDSHIP’S BIRTHDAY
Monday last we understand was the G4th anniversary of the birth of His Lordship Bishop Macdonell. A number of friends took advantage of the occasion to present him with a gift befitting the occasion, others during the day called to wisli His Lordship “many happy returns of the day” a wish which the Ninvs cordially rc-echocs.
A FURTHER SUBSCRIPTION
On the receipt of furllicr information re- garding the Casselman lire and the destitu- tion that exists, the General Manager of the Union Bank of Canada advised Mr. J. R. Proctor to increase the bank’s subscrip- tion to the NKW.S fund to fifty dollars. When we realise that this corporation con- tributed largely to the Quebec relief fund, we all the more appreciate the generosity displayed.
TO THE NEW YORK MARKET
A large number of cattle are being at present purchased by drovers throughout the county. On Saturday last Mr. Jas. Burton, of Maxville. shipped to New Y’ork a fine carload of stock. He also ships every Tuesday to the Montreal markets, so that farmers in that ijorlion of the county find that stock raising is proving a profit- able source of revenue.
EVERY FARMER SHOULD GET ONE
Mr. John J. Kennedy of this placo has secured the agency for tho county of Glen- garry for a splendid milk aerator and bag holder. These are most convenient articles and are sold at a low price, so that no farmer should be without them. Parties wishing to purchase same, address J. J. Kennedy, Alexandria, Out., or they may be bad at Maepherson A Schell’s here.
PROHIBITIONISTS REQUEST
On Wednesday afternoon a deputation from the Dominion Alliance waited upon the Ontario Government and asked for two changes in the liquor license law ; that a majority of the electors in a locality shall have power to prevent the removal of an existing license in any year and that the electors of any municipality shall have power to still furtlicr limit the hours of sale of liquor. The prohibitionists con- sider these requests very moderate.
OTTAWA AND NEW YORK RAILWAY
The builders of tho Ottawa and New ^ York Railway liavc lost no time in pushing
the construction of tho road. The grading of the line is almost completed, and it is expected that trains will be running into Ottawa by the first of next month. Tho rails have been laid to within a few miles of Cornwall and are being rushed towards both ends of the line.
A CHINESE SPECIAL
A special train from New Y’ork convey- ing about ‘200 Chinese arrived at the C P.R. depot at Montreal on Tuesday morning and went on to \’ai)coiiver. These celes- tials have “ made their pile ” in tho East- i ern States, and arc now going liome to settle down, and hand over their certifi- cates to other Chinamen in order that tiiey may pass the borders of the “ Land of Freedom.” They will sail from Vancouver on Saturday on the Empress cf Japan.

y SCHOOL-HOUSE lUHîNED
The school-honsu situated near Bread- albane ch.urch in the township of Lochiel, was burned to the ground on Wednesday morning of tliis week. It is supposed that the lire was caused by a defective stove. When the firewas first noticed the roof was falling in and nothing could be done to save the buildings. Only some wood that was piled against tho wall was saved.
FROM ALASKA
Wc have to thank Mr. Geo. McIntosh, of Juneau, Alaska, for an interesting budget of papers from that far northern city. Full and interesting descriptions of life in Alaska and tho Yukon gold regions may be had by perusing the papers and names like McIntyre, McIntosh omd Lockie McKinnon, familiar to Glengarrians, are occasionally met witli. Of course we do not know that any of these are former Glengarrians, al thougli judging by the names it is not im probable that some of them are. We arc always pleased to receive these marks of friendship from absent Glengarrians.
NEARLY A BLAZE
Wliat might liavo proved a serious con- flagration were it not so promptly nipped in ihe bud, was a fire that broke out on Friday afternoon last about 3 o’clock, in a pile of lumber adjacent the extensive saw mill of A. McArthur A Son, South Lancas- ter. Tho mill hose was quickly brought to play on the blaze and tho fire extinguished in short order. Meanwhile the boll in the fireball uptown was rung and the reels despatched to the scene of the fire. The promptness with which this was done was conclusive evidence of the capital training of the local company.

Lunch was also served and after spending a most enjoyable evening all dispersed for their homes. In our next issue full particulars will be given.
CANADA ATLANTIC TERMINAL.
Tlie Swanton Courier says :—“ The work on the Canada Atlantic terminal is being pushed and great progress lias been made. The road beds from the Central connections on Dunton’s track, a mile below the depot, through to the Boston and Maine line are graded up and practically completed. Quite a large force of men with teams are still engaged in grading the big sections that will be the yard proper with a modern yard system of diagonal tracks. Most of the culverts are complet- ed and track laying would be going on now if it were not for delay in the arrival of a lot of frogs and switches.”

Mr. Brodie with two hired men was engaged in cleaning .stumps from a field on his farm and in a spirit of friendly play rushed at one of the men wiio ducked and his head caught Mr. Brodie in the stomach. The latter fell to the ground and was carried to the house suffering the greatest agony. Dr. Me- Dcrmid, of Vankleek Hill was immediately summoned but despite all that care or medicalattention could do he passed away the same evening. A Coroner’s inquest was held on Friday by Hon. Senator Mc- Millan when evidence was taken. It was however postponed until Tuesday of this week wlien it was concluded. No blame was attached to the man who struck Mr. Brodie as the blow was purely accidental. A full account of Mr. Brodie’s death will be found in the Brodie correspondence.

MRS. DONALD MACMASTER
It is with feelings of the deepest regret that wo this week announce the death, which occurred at her late residence, the Commercial Hotel here, on Wednesday evening at 11 o’clock, of Mary McDonell, relict of the late Donald Macmaster, Esq. Mrs.Macmaster’s death followed a lingering and painful illness of some months’ dura- tion,but it was only for the past threeweeks that her condition became so low that scarcely any ray of hope for her recovery was entertained. During the sufferings en- tailed byTier last illness she displayed the most remarkable fortitnte and passed away peacefully in the assurance of entering in tho blessed reward of a well spent life. She was a daughter of tlie late Donald Ranald McDonell, Esq., of Ottawa, but formerly of Dalkeith, Ont.,where Mrs.Mac- master was born -19 years ago. In 1807 she was united in marriage with the lateDonald Macmaster, formerly proprietor of the Commercial Hotel here, and afterwards of the Royal ExchangcHotel,Ottawa,where he died some four years ago. Mrs.iSIacmaster was well known and highly respected by all who knew her, and her loss will be keenly felt by a large circle of friends. She leaves one daughter, Miss C.Macmaster, also her mother, three brothers and three sisters to mourn her loss,and to all of them wc extend our deepest sympathy in the hour of their affliction. The funeral will leave lier late residence to-morrow morning at 9 a.m. for St. Finnan’s Cathedral here.whereRequiem High Mass will be celebrated after which the remains will be conveyed to St. Alexan- der’s cemetery,Lochiel,for interrment. lie- ijuiescat in pace.
DUNCAN ROY McDONELL
Our readers will learn with feelings of deep regret of the death which occurred on Monday of this week of Mr. Duncan Roy McDonell, of lot No. 32-5 Con. of Lochiel, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of the county. Mr. McDonell was taken ill on Saturday and despite all that could be done by human means he rapidly grew worse until death came on the day above mentioned. He was 83 years of age and was born on the lot on which he died. He was a son of the late Archibald McDonell and of a large family of boys and girls only one sister survives him in the person of Mary McDonell, who has always resided with the subject of this sketch. In early life Mr. McDonell mar- ried Mary, daughter of the late Alexander Fraser, Esq., of the 2nd con. of Kenyon. Mrs. McDonell predeceased her husband some years ago. A family of four sons and two daugliters are left to mourn the loss of deceased. The funeral took place on Wednesday to St. Alexander’s church, Lochiel, where Requiem High IMass was celebrated by Rev. Father Fox, after which the remains were interred in their last resting place. The funeral was one of tho largest seen for a long time in that vicinity despite the bad condition of the weather and roads. The deceased gentleman was highly esteemed for his many good quali- ties. His honesty and uprightness of character won the respect of all, and at all times his word was as good as bis bond. In politics he was a staunch Conservative and always took a deep interest in his party, but this did not lessen the warm feeling he experienced for friends who did not see eye to eye with him. We extend to the bereaved relatives our deepest sym- pathy.
MRS. DON.ALD McNAUGHTON
On Saturday, October 30th, about 8 30 a.m., the village of Lancaster learned with great surprise and sorrow of tlie sudden and unexpected death of Jane Robertson, wife of Donald McNaughton, merchant. The deceased had been ailing about two weeks ago but had to all appearances re- covered. On Friday niglit previous to lier demise she had what i.s commonly describ- ed as a weak turn, but at breakfast time on Saturday morning she was able to be around, and no danger was anticipated. While trying to keep up and do some light housework, death claimed her as a victim. The shock to Mr. McNaughton and family was very great and in their great trial inev have the sympathy of the entire uommiui- ity. The deceased was born at North Branch near Martintown 71 years ago and was a woman of many estimable (]ual: only imperfectly known or apprcciatf.'ci except to tho smaller circle of intimate friends and acquaintances, being natunuiy of a very retiring disposition her merits were not noticed at once. The funeral was a very largo one and representative. The service was conducted at the liouse bv the Rev. A. Graham. Tlie burial took ])lace in Williamstown. The ]Dall bearers were Messrs. A. McArthur, D. I\I. Mac- pherson, M.B.B., John Fraser, Hugh Mc- Lean, R. McDouga) and Neil McGillis. The deceased was the mother of live sons, throe of whom are still living, none of tlicm reside in the vicinity therefore only one was able to be present, namely Mr. Duncan McNaughton. Mr. Donald iUcNaughton is one of the best and most favorably known persons in the three united counties, j In this hour of his sore,bereavement nis ! many friends and acquaintances in wiiicn | the Glengarry Nn'.vs unites assure the uei-' | caved of very cordialsyinpatliy. —Anin’i' ! <Jurre-<i"jn‘.icul. ~
COUNCIL MEETING I
Tlie régula»- meeting of council was iielJ i in the office of Mr. A. L. Smith, clerk, on i Tuesday evening. Tiie minutes of last I
meeting were read and adopted. Ihe fol- lowing accounts were then examined and pass-d : A. i*. McDonald, sand '> 1.40 1). J. 3lacdonell 4(). Ifi Ma(q)hcrson re Schell 70.02 J . Cnartrand 3.50 Canada General Electric Co... ... 12.80 O. ^ ornier u.OO Broulx 4.00
Mr. Donald J. IMacdonclI. street commis- sioner, said that all shut off gates were pro- perly raised and that ho could locate them at any time. It was decided to order a new hydrant from Ottawa for the corner at the Registry office. A number of sleeves of water pipe were missing. Some were used as flower pots in tho town and it was suggested that they be collected. Reeve McArthur stated that in placing a ball on the staff at the lire station, tin should not be used as it would rust easily, wood also would rot, galvanized iron would be the best material. The matter of gathering up corporation ladders was then taken up. At present the ladders were scattered all over the town. Parties borrowed them without asking and there was every probability tliat they would bo lost. Mr. Schell sug gested that a brand be made and that all ladders and tools, the property of the cor- poration, be branded. As Councillors Mc- Donell and McI\Iinan were unable to be present, the meeting was adjourned until further notice.
GOOD BUSINESS DUNE AND DOING
We had asked several times for a few items regarding the works being carried out by Mr. Schell, but could get no information as Mr. Schell always objected to free ad- vertising of this kind. We, however, through our reporter’s energy, got particu- lars of good business that we dreamed little of. Besides the regular saw mill,— sash and door and planing mill,—and machine shop business steadily carried on, we find during September and October he has bought from tho farmers of this vici- nity over $12,000 worth of elm timber for piling on the Soulanges Canal, and nearly all of whiclî has been shipped out, avereging six cars a day for some weeks past. At the present time machinery is being fitted up for supplying the railway companies with quantities of track shims and on Tuesday we noticed at tho station a carload of machinery, including three engines from the ruins at Casselman to be refitted, and enquiry elicited the informa- tion that besides the refitting of these engines, a complete outfit of shafting pul- lies and new saw mill machinery is to bo constructed in quick order fer A. McLen- nan, Es<j., of Lancaster, for his new mill at Casselman. W. N. Barry, Esq., has sent hero his large engine to be rebuilt, also an engine for Mr. H. King besides machin- ery, sliafling, etc-, for Merkley Bros., all of Casselman. We are pleased to see Mr. Schell’s ability in this lino placing him a successful competitor against all comers in his various lines of business as well as that Alexandria will also be benefitted financially thereby through his enterprise and ability.
Ronsox—On Monday, tho 1st November, the wife of Mr. Jno.Robson of a son.
