Thompson, Minister of Jostioe, has been made a £. C. M. G. â€" ^Mr. Waldie, Liberal, was elected in Halton last week by a majority of 27. â€" The G. P. B. bridge across the i6redit, near Meadowyale, collapsed on 'Saturday under a freight tram, bat iortnnately no lives were lost. â€" A North Dakota grain dealer says that thoosands of acres of wheat have been left ancat on account of damage done by frost. â€" A freight train on the Manitoba road 'ran into a herd of cattle near Fort Buford, injuring five trainmen and killing a hundred cattle. â€" The Manitoba Government expect â- a majority of 30 in the Legislature in support of the contract with the North- em Pacific. The Legislature meets this week. â€" Mr. James, gram inspector for the state ef Minnesota, and Mr. Shelly inspector at Duluth, report that the greater part of the Minnesota and Dakota wheat crop has been injured by the frost. â€" Mr. E. S. Oox, the broker and bucketshop man, who fled from con- sequences of the Central Bank wreck, committed two very serious blunders. One was having anything to do with bucket shop thieving and bank wreck* -ing the other was patronizing Sun- day excursions. The first error caused him to run away from Toronto. The second caused bis arrest at Niagara, and his return to Toronto this week. Perhaps he may now make restitution, or tell where the money went. â€" Pamell's great libel suit agamst the "London Times" is at present the great subject of interest, not merely to people in Britain, but to the whole civilized world. After Parnell had de- clared that he would not prosecute, his suit is entered, and entered not in the English courts but in the Scotch. The Commission of enquiry will sit all the same, and it is said that Parnell will refuse to appear before it as a witness on the plea that his testimony might aflfect his suit unfavorably. The whole thing is very comlpioated and uncertain. This, however, is certain that if the 'Times' makes good its case Parnell will be entirely dis- credited, and may go out of public life, when ever he likes. If on tiie other band it fails, Parnell will be stronger than ever and a change of ministry ' will be within a measnrable distance. In the meantime it is evident that the white heat at which politics have been for some timepast, as Britain has fair- ly welded into one solid and campaot body, the Conservatives and Liberal Unionists on the otbor side, and the Gladstoniani and PameUites on the other. There are no longer tour par- ties bat two and as aaoh will go to the polls at the next election, onlees, to be sore, tba Tories ahoold in the mean- time offer PameU better terms when the likelihoods woold all be that they woold lie Moepted and Qladstooe be UA onitui the eold, as he baa been be- fore, by the T«7 saiiie.^|Mrt7. StuMdardCorretpondenee. We fear we owe an apology, Mr. Editor, for allowmg so much time to elapse since our last letter, bnt owing to scarcity of time and plenty of work during harvest we have been a Uttle backward. However we will toy to make up for lost time. Miss Queenie Hall is spending her vacation here. Miss Hattie Cole is visiting her numerans friends around here. Miss Kennedy, of the Sauble. is visiting Mrs. Delaney. Mr. Thos. Moor has returned from his vacation and has again resumed his duties as professor of "Webster's Academy." The storm of a week ago did con- siderable damage around here. Many fields of grain are completely threshed out by the hail-stones wbioh were very large and left a mark every time they struck. The lall of rain was tremendous, ditches beiug cut in some fields to tne depth of five feet and up- wards. Editor Standard Sib, â€" Mr. Wright would like to make "bort work of this Derby ccntroversy indeed by getting it fixed bis own way. He is actually offering to pay money if I will let him have two men and me one. Although I mentioned expenses, the principal object was to have it decided here where a disinterested third man could be got whose character is well known. I fancied Mr. W, intended a one-sided game, now he blabs it right out himself. I not only accepted Mr. Wade's decision last spring but it was me proposed that special prize would be left for him to decide that was a matter of counting crosses, and thwe are very few here who would like to undertake it this is simply a matter of comparing certificates with entries in S.B's.and any sane man who can read is just as competent as Mr. Wade, and Mr. W. is one of the last men who should have aoy say in this affair he would be act- ing as judge of his own work. Mr. W. pots a very simple question to me when he says where is the change and why The answer is above. Oive me a harder one next time, Mr. Wright. When he pretends to quote what! said in a former letter he is getting down on the same level with his B. M. I said the S. B's published by Mr. Wade were the highest authority. I will venture to say hat if I was to give the same challenge to Mr. H. King or Mr. Wmw Bhepheid- son in reference to their horses. Dandy Boy or Gkdloway Laird, and propose the same way of deciding it they would plank down their certificates at once and say biing on your books right here where our horses are owned is where we want to prove them I dare not do it, they would have my money before I knew where I was. Or why don't they take me up on Just in Time, I leave the offer open to both Mr. W. and his B. M., because they don't deny that one is as much interested in their horee as the other. Come now, Mr. W.. if there is any man about you I will give you a chance, I will not ask you to run the risk of loosing your »60, yon Jift that and put it safe in your pocket, pas in your certificates at once bring Mr. Bennie to Markdale (there is only one vol. of Scotch and one of Canadian needed), Mr. B, has both and I am sure he will not think it any trouble to bring them with him let them choose a third if requir- ed, prove your horse a properly registered USTEN TO US A MOMENT, Time is precious Life is short And short is our story It is also interesting Do yon "want to be be- nefited Of conrse yon answer .--'•-•yes Then if yonr ^wrants Are in the grocery line BUY YOUR TEA, '" SUGAR, COFFEE, COCOA, MUSTABD, GINGER, PEPPER, CINNAMON, CLOVES, ALLSMCE, NUTMEG, SODA, CR.
