Noncx. â€" ^W« wish it distmetly nnderstood that we do not hold oanelTes reepoiiBible for thA opinions expressed by oar correspondents Mr. Standard Editor Dkab Sib,â€" WhUe I think that farmers o^nnot mind their own busi- ness too much, I think also that we show too mucn indifference to the in- teresta of others. We hold our tongue on qaestions of general import- ance, when a few lines in the local paper, (where every farmer should â- see it^ giving oar experience, or in- formation we possess, would greatly assist in the selection of implements, seeds, trees, sto^k. etc., and the man- agement of them when we have them. At the present there is no question before the farmer affecting his inter- ests more, both in the present and future, than the seleetion of a sire horse, and with so many fine animals in the field it is difficult to come to a decision. While horse owners and their friends give us plenty of advice, there are many of their statements that' lack one important point, name- ly, being founded on fact, and I am sorry to say that some farmers are oiot much better. Tnere is one as- sertion in partiealar that I know is wrong and would like to correct, that is, that Lord Derby's stock in the past has been very isferiori and is made by men who know no more about Lord Derby's «tock than the stock knows about them. Not being satis- fied on this point myself, and being well acquainted in Peel county, I wrote early in the season to an old friend, J. F. Quinn, V. S., of Bramp- ton, for Derby's record. He replied, "I have knovm Lord Derby since Jackson got him. We have never had â- a horse here tJifit has done as much to improve Hie stock as Derby, (will no- tice hare that that is high praise for any borse, as they had a fine class of heavy horses there before Derby was Joaled, and have had many first-rate stallions to breed to.) "I think I handle more colts than any other man in this county and ike Derby ore second to none they all come, good color, with plenty of bone and hair. You may rely on what 1 say, if you have a good mare don't hei^tate to breed to Derby," Now, brother farmers, onderitand this is no adver- ting puff, has net been asked for by any horse buyer and ' is reliable. Concerning Derby's stock, it is the opinion of a pfaotical, successful vet- erinary surteon, the letter from which these facts are is the candid advice of friend to friend and is worth more to ma as evidence of Derby's stock-getting powers than all the owners of Derby could tell me in a month. I give it to you to throw some light on a vexed question just take it at its value. Yours respectfully, James Hansox, Artemesia. MWtfee first game of the season hero, being a lacrosse match between, the Tictoriaa of Me^ord, and the Ptm- eeis of Flesherton.

Your correspondent has just re- ceived information of a death by drowning to another of the unfortun- ate citizens of our sister village, Priceville. Mr. Walker, a tailor by trade, an old gentleman living by himseli, was first missed on Sunday morning. The evening of the same day it was discovered he had com- mitted suicide, by tying his own tailor's "goose" and throwing himself into the mill pond. The body was found in about three feet of water. 9BnM^yrtfi^^f!^^i^J^^±^ â- jt... I Our brass band was out on Monday evening in good style, and serenaded three of our respected citizens â€" A.

The new uniforms forms for the band- are now under way and are expected to be ready and in good trim for Dominion Day here, which, with the various games and amusements through the day and the grand procession and the grand ora- torio ot "Queen Esther" in the after- noon and evening, it is looked forward to as bemg the most interesting holi- day ever spent in this X'lftce.
