8150,000 from tbe Dominion as back debt on

the Province.The Toronto Presbytery 
has denounced secret societies.The 
fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of 
the city of Toronto was celebrated last Thurs¬ 
day.In the New York Legislature 
powerful opposition was developed Thursday 
against the bill to protect the Adirondack 
forests from further destruction. The lum¬ 
bermen are well organized, and the Assem¬ 
bly seemed to be in complete subjection to 
them. All the excellent suggestions of the 
New York Chamber of Commerce Committee 
in regard to this matter were contemptuously 
thrown aside.Monopolies in brass and 
tacks are reported to be forming by syndi¬ 
cates of capitalists purchasing all the big 
brass and tack works, and thus controlling 
the markets.The Prohibitionists of 
Connecticut have nominated a full State

has been going about the country vaunting 
his brute strength against law and decency, 
has at last been soundly- thrashed at San Fran- 
ciso in a bar-rorm row with his old prize¬ 
fighting partner, Slade, the Maori. It is a 
pity somebody cannot be found now to thrash 
Slade and a few other like ruffians who are 
posing for popular admiration .The

lican State Convention will be held at Cleve¬

ed in extra session for the purpose of taxing 
and governing tbe railroads throughout the 
State.General Grant and wife and 
General Beale have gone to Old Point Com¬ 
fort, Va. The General has been suffering 
somewhat of late with rheumatism as much as 
from the results of his late injury. The weak¬ 
ness in the injured limb compels him to keep 
on crutches, and to avoid all possibility of a 
relapse, he requires considerable assistance in 
his movements.The Legislature of 
Ontario, Canada, has passed a bill declaring 
in favor of co-education of the sexes.......... 
In San Francisco, the manufacturers locked 
out 8.500 Chinese eigarmakers Monday. They 
propose to substitute 2,500 whites from New 
York. The Chinese packers struck on learn¬ 
ing that their countrymen were looked out... 
.The main exhibition building for the 
New Orleans World’s Fair next year is the 
largest buildiug in this country, and next to 
the largest exposition building ever construct¬ 
ed. It is 1,500 feet long by' 800 feet deep. 
The Horticultural Hall, which is next to the 
largest structure ever built for the purpose, is 
600 feet in length and 100 feet deep. The 
Mexican Government, which has shown keen 
interest in the exposition, will exhibit a 
garden of tropical plants covering 220,000 
square feet. The fair opens in December, 
and will close in May, 1885.,.

the sum of 510,871.*.The Kennedy Pro¬ 
hibition Bill has become a law in Iowa. 
Before retiring from the bench. Judge Mc¬ 
Crary has rendered his decision in the barbed 
wire fence case, deciding that the Kelley and 
Glidden patents, on which Washburn and 
Moen chiefly rely, in their claims for royalty, 
are invalid. Judges McCrary, Treat and Love 
have now decided against the monopoly, as re¬ 
lated in full in the Rurals of June 16 and 
and July 14,1883.Prentiss Teller, money 
clerk of the Pacific Express Company at St. 
Louis, disappeared Sunday with nearly *75,- 
000 .City Treasurer T. J. Smith of Bay¬ 
onne, N. J,, is a defaulter lor 840,000. 
The other day the chemical works of Powers 
& Weightmanin Philadelphia—the most ex¬ 
tensive in the country—were burned. The loss 
is from 51,000,000 to 51,500,000: insurance 
over *500,000. It is feared that the destruction 
of their establishment will affect both the qui¬ 
nine and moi-pbine markets by' causing a 
scarcity of those drugs. The price of quinine 
went up from 25 to 50 cents an ounce in New 
York last week .The most disastrous 
fire that ever- visited Utica, N. Y., destroyed 
about 5800.000 worth of property last week, 
the insurance being $450,000,. ., The “Triple 
Themeter Motor’’ is a new motive power l’or 
driving machinery. The discoverer is W. S. 
Caldwell, “formerly of Pittsburg.” It is 
claimed that it is much more powerful than 
steam, and a syndicate, with a capital of $25,- 
000,000, $8,000,000 of which have been paid up, 
is said to bare been formed to control the in¬ 
vention and all patents connected with it.

United States Supreme Court has affirmed 
the validity of the legal tender act of 1802, 
by which money was furnished to carry on 
the war. This is the third time a decision by 
that court has been rendered on the subject: 
first, it was adverse to the constitutionality- of 
the act, then favorable to it. and the last 
decision coincides with its immediate prede¬ 
cessor, though only three of the judges that 
sat in the coui't then, still remain . 
. Hou. Kenneth Raynor, of North Caro¬ 
lina, Solicitor of the Treasury, died Wednes¬ 
day at Washington, aged 76 years_ - The

AGRICULTURAL. 
- • 
Saturday, March 8, 1884. 
Thei*e is a movemnt on foot to change the 
name of the Ohio Agricultural College from 
that of the “Ohio State University” to the 
more intllligible one of the “Ohio Agricul¬ 
tural and Mechanical College.”.The 
annual rainfall in this country, according to 
the Weather Signal, is lowest in New Mexioo 
(13 inches) and California (18 inches), and 
highest in Oregon (48) and Alabama (56). The 
annual rainfall in the British Islands among 
the mountains is 41 inches; ou the plains. 25 
inches; 45 inches of rain falls on the west side 
of England, 27 on the east side.The 
Massachusetts State Grange protests vigor¬ 
ously agaiust the sale of liquors at fairs, and 
urges that the law granting State bounties to 
agricultural fairs should be so amended as to 
withhold bounties from societies that allow 
liquor to be sold on their grounds ....... As 
mentioned in the Rural after the annual 
meeting of the breeder? of red swine held at 
Chicago on November 15, 1“S3, the name se¬ 
lected for the Durocs and Jersey Reds was 
Duroe-Jarsey, Since the above date about 100 
members have been added to the Association 
from 18 States, and over 600 names have been 
claimed for registry. The membership fee is 
$2, and annual assessments, if any, will not 
exceed the fee. Dividends equal among all the 
members. C. H. Homes, Secretary, Grinnell, 
la.The annual meeting of the Hol¬ 
stein Breeders' Association will be held ou 
Wednesday, March 18, at 10 A. M„ at the 
Globe Hotel, Syracuse, N. Y.Applica¬ 
tions for information, premium lists and 
space for the Horticultural Department of the 
great New Qrleaus World's Fair, should be 
made to Parker Earle, Cobden, III. 
Upward of 50,000 bushels of No. 2 Red Wheat 
was found out of condition in Dow's stores, 
Thursday, at New York, being warm in 
spots and weevil-cut. It was posted on the 
Produce Exchange.The Senate Com¬ 
mittee on Public Lands has ordered a favor¬ 
able report on tbe House bill declaring u for¬ 
feiture of the lands granted to the Texas Pa¬ 
cific Railroad Company in New Mexico, 
Arizona and California, aud restoring them 
to the public domain.The tenth annual 
meeting of the Dominion Grange opened at 
Ottawa last Tuesday evening, Jabel Robin¬ 
son, Master, in the chair. The organization 
is gettiug along pi-osperousiy .Tbe recent 
cold snap has, it is feared, seriously affected 
grape-vines in Ontax-io, Canada. A wine 
competition was opened at Rome on February 
16, in which L34 growers took part. The 
competitor who is decided to have produced 
the best sparkling white wine capable of be¬ 
ing substituted for champagne, will receive a 
gold medal pi'esented by the King... r .... Last 
Monday tbe House virtually defeated the 
Converse bill to raise the tariff on wool. 
When it came to the consideration of the bill 
a motion was made to adjourn, and this was 
canned by 148 votes against 126, the latter be¬ 
ing Republicans with a few “protectionist” 
Democrats. As this showed the House was 
Opposed to the discussion of the measure, it is 
thought it will not come up again dui iug the 
session....Best American cattle are 
quoted at 15%c. dressed weight in Liverpool; 
best sheep, 18c.A great many sheBp 
have been driven from California to the North¬ 
west, within the last year or two, the entire 
journey being made ou foot, and consuming 
several months....The New York Legis¬ 
lature has made an appropriation of $20,000 
for the purpose of extirpating pleux-o-pneu¬ 
monia, which is reported from Putnam and 
Columbia Counties.The expoi’ts of live 
stock and dressed meats from Boston were 
light the past week, there having been taken 
per steamer for the foreign markets, 918 cat¬ 
tle, 306 sheep, 2,003 quarters of beef, 77 car¬ 
casses of mutton.Among the exports 
from New York last week were 800 live cat¬ 
tle, 8,-865 quarters of beef aud 1,850 carcasses 
of mutton.....The Australian Govern¬ 
ment has prohibited the importation of Amer¬ 
ican sheep, and a large consignment, of Ver¬ 
mont sheep has therefore been stopped 
at San Francisco. The late reduction in 
our tariff on wool has greatly benefited 
Austi’alia—hence this generous return! 
Sterling Worth.— If Thatcher's OraDge 
Butter Color is not superior to any known sub¬ 
stance for the work it is calculated to per¬ 
form, experiment and huraau testimony are 
misleading. Write for that testimony to H. 
D. Thatcher & Co., Potsdam, N. Y.— Adv. 
“Brown’s Bronchial Troches" are widely 
known as an admirable l'emedy for Bronchi¬ 
tis, Hoarseness, Coughs aud Throat troubles. 
Sold only in boxes. — Adv. 
Uieh-Prtccd Butter. 
Dairymen often wonder how their more 
favored competitors get such high prices for 
their butter the year round. It is by always 
having a uniform gilt-edged article. To put 
the “gilt edge” on. when the pastures do not 
do it, they use Wells, Richardson & Co.’s Im¬ 
proved Butter Color. Every butter maker 
can do the same. Sold everywhere and war¬ 
ranted as harmless as salt, und perfect in ope¬ 
ration.— Adv.
