to me either, but it w my hearing.I had attempted to drivé across country to catch a train at a sta tion which i could not have reached otherwise except by a long and tirnnomo detour over a miserable piece of road— and when a railroad in Georgia is bad it is bad with any sort of an adjective for emphasis you choose.It was 12 miles and through a mountain gap, and as it was nearly dark when I started I wound up by getting lost and going the Lord knows where till I struck a very fair two story houao that looked as if it might have been a summer hotel once upon a time.“I asked the man who responded to rny call how far it was to the railroad, and he told me ton miles, and I had better ‘light’ and stay all night.1 ‘lighted,’ and after a bite of cold bread and meat and a drink of ‘moonshine’ I went to bed, tired enoogh to have slept on a picket fence.It was then 11 o’clock, and about two hours later I was awakened from my slumbers by hearing a train whistle apparently a mile or less away and thon nimble along, coming nearer and nearer and nearer nntil suddenly it stopped, and I heard no more.I was too sleepy to give it much thought, and, rolling over, I went to sleep again wondering why my host had told me it was ton miles to the railroad, unless it was to deceive me out of the price of a night’s lodging.“In the morning at breakfast I mentioned the fact to him, and ho laughed in an uneasy kind of way and assured me that it was ten miles to the railroad, and I would think it was three times that far after I had driven over it.The noise I had hoard, ho said, was probably the wind blowing down the chimney and banging around the house, which was old and open in many places.1 hadn’t any more to say and went on my way to the railroad, reaching there in three hours and noticing all the way that an old roadbed with the ties and rails still on it in places lay near the wagon road all the way to the station.“At the station, while waiting for my train, I got to talking with the station agent, who was a bright, sharp chap, and incidentally I asked him about that railroad train.He looked at tno quick as a wink and asked mo the particulars, which I told him.“ ‘It’s a han’t,’ he said.‘Last night was the night it always comes.When the road was first built here, there was a branch that ran bank up in that country to a place about two or three miles beyond that house to a kind of a sum mor resort up there—mineral springs and a waterfall.Excursions for a day used to go up there from towns down the road from hero and up the other way.Ton years ago tonight an excursion was coming back from there, and just about the neighborhood of that house the engineer saw an obstruction on the track that was going to throw the whole shebang over Ao bank, and, whistling down brakes and cutting his engine loose, he went straight for it and knocked it off the track.Of course he and his engine went with it, and neither of them was ever any more use after that racket, but the train was saved, and that was enough for a man to die for, because there wore 200 women and children in the excursion.“ ‘It was shown that some of the people in the neighborhood had attempted to wreck the train, and it spoiled the excursion business.There was coal on the branch that kept the last nine or ten miles of it in operation for a few years longer, but there never was another passenger train to go over the place where the engineer was killed—that is to say, never another train that anybody ever saw, but there has been one go over the spot, or, rather, go to it and stop one night in every year for the past ten years.I have heard it, and so have the men in that house and you, but no more 1 hut I know of because his nearest neighbor is three miles away, and nobody ever gets in that neighborhood to stay all night.I suppose I would not have been there if he had not asked me as a friend to come up on one of the anniversary nights and hear it, so he could talk to me about it and advise with me whether to move away or stick it out, J advised him to stay and had very nearly forgotten all about it, for really the subject hasn’t come to my notice in four or five years, and you can wager money I never went back there to listen to it any more.I’ll bo blamed if c mldn’t see that engineer and his eu gine whirling to destruction the night I staid there because I know what to ex pect and sat up to wait for it with every nerve at its highest tension.Darn queer kind of a ghost, isn’t it?’ “I told him I thought it was,” con rinded the drummer, “and when I sug gested to him that I might perhaps tell toe story to some one else and it might get into the newspapers ho laughed and said that was just the same as keeping it a dead secret, for nobody in that neighborhood took a newspaper or could read ono if he did.’’—Washington Star ns e yield of wheat, sually large, and t for several years, of great advantage who will be enabled to ions and allow them a

Klondike and he is booming the project at the present time before the English public.Two PerfectColors Found Only in DiamondDyes.Perfection in color or shade is sure to captivate the hearts of the ladies, who are always unerring judges.The lovely pink produced by the Diamond Dyes is a discovery that has gladdened the hearts of thousands.This Diamond Dye Fast Pink for Wool is clear, pure, brilliant and fast as a rock.One package gives a magnificent shade of nk on two pounds of goods—silk or wool ; a medium shade on three pounds ; a light and delicate shade on four pounds.Attention is also called to the Diamond Dye Fast Light Blue for Wool.This is dye that gives a color far surpassing the light bluoe produced by European dyers.Ladies having soiled white or cream dresses made from cashmere, nun’s cloth sorgo can have them dyed in rich hades of Pink or light Blue and tilted for eyening wear.This making of new resses out of soiled, faded and cast-off garments means a great saving

gold medal of the club struck for presentation to the Canadian statesman in formal recognition of his attachment to tree trade.The Premier, thanking the delegation, said the commerc.alsu-premacy of Great Britain was assured until the United States adopted free trade.Sir Wilfrid said later, “I am glad to emphasize how I have been received every where in the most cordial manner* particularly by the Pope, who filled me with wonderment as to how so much vigorous and keen intellect could be housed in such an emancipated body.The Pope is bant double and appears to be in the frailest health, though he is not troubled with any bodily ailment, and his whole mental machinery is marvelous.I was amazed at the prefundity of his knowledge of Canadian affairs, was charmed with his exquisite gentleness and sympathy, and I was moved deeply at the supreme elevation of his Christian aims.Sis Louis H.Davies, Canadian minister of marine and fisheries, addressing the London Chamber of Commerce on Monday said everv vestige of feeling in favor oi ?nion with the United States had long disappeared.Canada, he added, had nothing to gain thereby.Sir Louis warned intending emigrants against^ the tremendous difficulties of the Klon-dyke, saying they would go there at their own risks, and that the Canadian Government had not advised it.Hundreds and thousands, he insisted, were going there ill-provided with money or supplies and they would die in the passes before reaching Klondyke.He saia that a reaction was certain to follow and that Canada would be blamed for it.Referring to the new

but the government will do what it can to aid in securing the best possible market in Great Britain for Canadian products.Objects in view are as follows : 1.To see the existing conditions of the markets there.2 To learn the newest preferences for packages, styles and qualities of goods.3 To give information to Boards of Trade and Produce Exchanges about the arrangements made by the government for getting Canadian products into the markets by these new cold storage channels to try and get rid of the lingering remains of the old prejudice against Canadian butter and to let them know that a new era has come, with the promise of the very best class of products from Can ada in the future.4.To start one or two men as promoters of trade or canvassers for customer* for Canadian products.G.A.A.A.Annual Meet.This annual event held under the aus pices of the above association last week were very successful.Visitors were present from all parts of the Eastern Townships and other places.Rain came down in torrents ;

and why ?Simply because they had kept it just long enough to cause it to lose that delicate fresh and sweet flavor which it possessed when first made.It seems that many factories have not the proper facili ties for keeping their butter after manufacture, and, therefore, it is all the mure imperative that they should market it immediately after it is packed.Had the factory men, who have lecently been offering their creameries expecting to get top figures, put their produce on the market earlier they would no doubt, have received full figures.In fact, we know of some who could have got IT^c and 17| some time ago ; but who cannot now get over ItHc or Ifijc at most.This is due partly to an easier feeling in the market ; but chiefly to the fact that the butter had depreciated in quality.Factorymen would, therefore, best study their own interests by marketing their butter every week or ten days, as quite a number make it a practice of doing, and these as a rule are better off at the end of the season than those who hold for chances on the future of the market ; for even in the event of an advance in prices, what is gained in value is offset by a depreciation in the quality of the goods held.—Montreal Trade Bulletin.ars will According to t! wheat crop in Mi pec talions.Then the Montreal Be carried by railways.The Minister of Militia discovered that railway companies were charging exorpi-tant rates for transporting troops, ami the order in question makes provisions that in the case of a body of 125 troops they w ill be carried at two-thirds ordinary rate and in case of over that number they will be carried at one-half rate.This will mean an annual saving of about $20,000.Prepare to "•tore Grain.iewlv t hr.f htd “By Their Fruits.’ Nothing more clearly shows the painstaking and careful farmer than to have fence corners between fields or along the roadsides kept free from weeds, grass or shrubs.As a rule all the old-time fence-corners were kept scrupulously clean.A good deal of valuable hay was made from what the scythe reached in ami cut there.But when the horse mower and the self-hinding reaper came into use, it every year became harder to find anybody who could be hired to clear out the fence-corners.The result was that the axe rather than the scythe was required, and the growth, instead of being restricted to fence corners, encroached each year more I on the cultivated fields.Don’t Let the Clock Run Down.siei.i Q CCKX P.O.Bo -000-0 lib.’ '.A Sr ttsn 1 ¦ ' ,\t of Watches, C’oci: - to choose from, at ;

has been found established and spreading in orchards in the most important fruit-growing districts in Ontario, where it was introduced on fruit trees purchased in the Eastern States principally New Jersey and New York.The San Jose scab occur in all the States of the Union, from which Canadian nurserymen and fruit-growers purchase nursery stock.Fruit-growers are emphatically warned against purchasing or obtaining buds, scions, or nursery stock from the United States without a written guarantee from the State entomologist or other authorized official that the stock is not and has not been infested.” Burn Early Potato Vines.There is always danger in keeping potato vines that we may thereby be furnishing the conditions for propagating potato rot.This danger far outweighs the very slight manurial value of the tops from burying them in the soil, which is just where, if potatoes are grown within a year, the germs of rot are in position to do greatest harm.It is believed by many farmers that where clover is grown in soil it helps to increase the potato rot fungus.Certainly where clover and potatoes succeed each other tho potatoes are more likely to rot.This may, however, only mean that nitrogenous clover, rotting in the soil, makes a favourable field for the germ to propagate in.Beans in Wet Seasons.The season so far has been unusually wet, and as it injures l>eans to cultivate among them, while either the soil or their leaves are wet, it is likely that there will be many weedy bean fields and a light crop.A little mud on the leaf of a bean is likely to cause rust, while if it falls on a blossom, that blossom is thereafter blighted.It is for this reason that beans in a wet season do beet on gravelly soil, though the crop is one which phosphate greatly benefits.“About five years ago,” writes Mr.Brown, “I was completely run down.I lost my appetite.1 could get nothing to lie on my stomach.Sometimes I would take dizzy spells and nearly fall down, and would see black dots before my eyes.I kept getting worse all the time.“1 tried different patent medicines ; they gave me no relief.I kept getting worse.I tried two of the liest doctors in the place ; they did me no good.I was obliged to take to my bed.“1 would take faint spells and my heart would beat and flutter, and 1 would nearly smother for breath.I felt more like dying than living.” [These fainting or sinking spells of which Mr.Brown speaks are a peculiar feature of the disease he was suffering from.Only modern physicians and not all of them, understand their gravity or have given them the study they call for.No sensation is more alarming, none more demoralizing to the patient.While they last the angel of death seems to have folded his wings over the sufferer’s pale and anxious face.The came is a poison in the blood arising from continued fermentation of food in the stomach.It acts upon the nerves of the brain, lungs and heart as a hand might impede the pendulum of a great clock.] “I l>egan to think,” adds our correspondent “that I never should get around again.My wrife wanted me to try Mother Seigel’s Syrup.I said I didn’t think it was any use.She went and got a bottle of Mother Seigel’s Syrup, and before I had taken it all I wot able to go to my toork.“I have taken several bottles since.T am now able to work as hard as ever.I would advise any one that is suffering

the approval of the committee ; and wo consider it a success in every respect.Being intended for school use it is necessarily not bulky, but on the other hand it is not too condensed.\V ithin the limits of .341 pages, the story of the country is told essentially and well.Mr.Clement has a clear and effective style and makes the narrative of events interesting as well as instructive, while the historical spirit of the author is shown in the perfect fairness with which vexed questions of the past are treated.Altogether, thy work is eminently suited for its purposemiamely the inculcati >n into the minds of the rising generations of a just knowledge of, and just pride in, the steps by which Canada has become what it is to-day.The book is now authorized for New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, North-west Territories and British Columbia.One good feature of the work is that it reaches the pupil at a fair price.This is a reform with regard to school books that the Examiner has uiged more than once.Fifty cents is a reasonable price tor a well-bound book of .341 pages printed on good paper and containing colored maps and many excellent wood-cuts.I'ho Herald defends the sudden decapitation of old servants of the Grand Trunk on the ground that the widows and orphans who have Grand Trunk stock have to bo considered.If the old servants who are being dismissed, were, as a rule, incapable of their duties, either physically or mentally, there would bo some reason in the Herald's contention, although oven then there would he no excuse for the cruel manner in which most of the dismissals are made.Ifc is not pleasant, for instance, for a man who lias been for forty years a faithful and attached servant of the Company to go to his work on a tine morning and tind a now man there with instructions to take his place.It is cruel in the extreme.Yet that is now a common occurrence on the road.Many of those who are dismissed are quite as w ell fitted, physically and mentally, for their duties as Mr.Hays is for his.The whole country wants to see our great railways earning dividends for their shareholders, but not at the expense of introducing Bashi-Bazouk methods into the labor system of the Dominion.The Ontario papers w hich are speaking out on this question deserve support, and not blame as the Herald contends.Morency Bros LEADING SHOE DEALERS.COMPTON COUNTY COUNCIL Trade prospects in Canada for the fall are decidedly bright The prices paid for agricultural products are now much higher than they have been for a long time.The effect of this on general business is hound to be felt sooner or later.It is said, too, that the trade in supplies for the new mining districts is already no small item.The prompt action of the Government in preparing to administer the Yukon cannot help hut ensure that the bulk of the trade to be done there will be from Canadian centres.A revival in business will bo certainly welcome.Cam On Exhibition.T/liE aies to

Carrière, Father Hebert and Pere Rondon of the Dominican Grder.An eloquent sermon was preached in both French and English by Rev.J.A.Lefebvre, director of the Sherbrooke Seminary and Chaplain of the Sherbrooke Court of Foresters.After the service the procession again ad journed to the City Hall.A meeting of the English speaking members of the Order was held to nominate tw o members of the Board and treasurer, the latter position being the only paid official that can fie appointed by the English section.Mr.W .P.McGofilrick of St.Gabriel Court, Montreal, was the choice for treasurer.At half past one the High Court was formally convened, High Chief Ringer X.Renaud presiding.The reports of the the Provincial Secretary and Treasurer were submitted.These showed the ( >rder to be in a most flourishing condition.On May 1st, IH'.Mi, the number of Courts in the Province were 125, while at Aug.1st of this year there were 1.31), or an increase of a little over one court per month.At the first mentioned date there were 7fi*37 members in the Order while at the latter date there were 9424 members.Since last convention there had been 77 deaths.To August 1st, 1897, the treasurer s receipt were $5,148.99, and the expenditure amounted to $2877.3, leaving a balance on hand of $2271.1)1.The Vice Chief Ringer presided over the Convention on Wednesday.The several committees handed in their reports all of which were approved of.Telegrams were received from Cardinal I'aschereau and Archbishop Bruchési in answer to the message of congratulation sent to these dignitaries on Tuesday.It was agreed to increase the salary of the Pror night or day, that the ^ociation feels that words are inadequaie to express, even in part, their deep Wnse of gratitude, and would congratulate the Government on having in its employ officers so eminently fitted for the responsible duties assigned to them.Thirdly.To the Quebec Central Railway company ; the Grand Trunk system ; the Canada Atlantic and Plant Steamship Co.; the Bras D’Or Navigation Co., and the Charlottetown Steam Navigation Co., their agent, officials and captains respec-t vely, to whose assiduous care for the comfort and pleasure of the party very much of the success of the tour is owing.In this connection the association desiie to make especial mention of C.W.Blenk-j horn, who accompanied the party and I rendered such kindly services as entitle him to the thanks, gratitude and remem brances of the entire party.They feel that in tins gentleman the Canada Atlantic and Piant Steamship Co.have an ideal efficient officer.The association and the party generally armly appreciate the extremely kind letter of 11.L.Chipman, the agent of the Canada Atlantic and Plant Steamship Co., forwarded from Halifax, accompanied by a parcel of interesting literature for the party, and greatly regret that business prevented him from being w ith the excursionists.This association will ever feel a deep interest in the success of each and all of these companies, and will not soon forget the succession of scenes, romantic and grand, they were able to enjoy throught their courtesy, and the efficiency *f their well equipped boats.The association would also return thanks to the Mayor and Board of Trade of Truro, N.S., for the kind reception received at their hands in that thriving and picturesque town, and to the Mayor »f Sydney, C.B., for courteous attention to the visiting journalists and friends ; also to the Honorable Premier Murray of Nova Scotia for his co-operation in securing to the party the enjoyments they experienced in Capo Breton ; the party also feel much indebted to their brother journalists of the three maritime provinces for innumerable kindnesses and attentions.Tlie association regret their inability to accept the invitations to the Sydney and Louisburg Railway Co., and of Manager J.H.Cassidy of the Baie des Chaleurs Railway Co., to take a trip over their respective lines, and extend thanks for the the same, with the hope that at some future time the association may avail themselves of that pleasure.n these expressions of thanks all the friends, ladies and gentlemen w ho accompanied the Eastern Townships Press Association join most heartily.The association desire also to tender Everything is now in fir*t wolome.Meeting begins at 8 o’clock.retouched for the

to look it cv.r carefully, as the programme is very complet»*, and tells exactly what is to take place each day, so that the public can judge lor themselves the best days to attend.The programme also gives information as to special railway service on all the different lines, by which it will be seen that special excursions are run from all directions to Sherorooke, in some cases on two days, and on others during the whole week of the Fair.The railways arrangements and accomodations have never been better, and with the very low rates secured, and the magnificent attractions offered, there can he no doubt that Sherbrooke will next week see a greater number of visitors than it has ever seen before.Camp Meeting at Lake View Magog.The 2.3rd annual meeting of the annual camp meeting, under the

honorable minister of Railways and Canals and securing to the party the pleasure of a tour through a part of the Dominion which to most of the tourists was a terra incognita, and thus bringing the journalists of the different provinces into a relation with each other that, but for this opportunity, would notpiave occurred in a life time.We express the hope that the circumstances may enure to the good of the country as greatly as it has to the pleasure and gratification of all the participants in the trip.A.L.Lance, President.F].J.Bedard, Acting Sec’y.Sunday Observance At The Fair

night in the Art Hall by Madame Ohrstrom-Renard and Miss Rebecca McKenzie, supported by Miss O’Reilly, of Ottawa.The attendance was very disappointing, and it is to be regretted that more people did not take advantage of the opportunity afforded them of hearing such high-class artists.The slim attendance w as very discouraging to the management and if the people of Sherbrooke do not have first-class artists come here they have only themselves to blame.Tin* programme was a success from every standpoint, as was shown by the hearty support which the artists received from the audience.The programme to-night will be changed considerably, and it is to be hoped that the music lovers will turn out and give their support to one of the best entertainment ever given in the city.The Leading

city, is one that is creating a good deal of attention from business men.It is really the business street of the city, and every et fort should be taken therefore to keep it up to the requirements of the city.Everyone w ill admit that in its present condition it is too congested.Tho Council of the Board of Trade spent considerable time interviewing the property holders on the west side of the street with a view to ascertaining w hether they would he agreeable to bring their property into one common line.All agreed to do so, and it now lies with the Council whether they will agree to the proposed change and spend the necessary amount of money for bringing this about.According to the proposed plan three feet and a half would he gained, and it was intended that two feet of this be added to the street and one foot and a half to the sidewalk.This would he a very material difference to the street.It is estimated that to bring this about would cost about $lo00.Even although it would cost

Sherbrooke FINE STATIONERY The “Yellovu Kid” direct from Hogan’s Alley has arrived and will be on Exhibition at H.Samuels.A man by the name of Kobarge was charged before Judge Mulvena on Monday with having assulted a Mr.McGee on June 4th.Both men reside in Ascot.The case lasted for several hours and a number of witnesses were examined for the defence.From the evidence it appears that on the date in question McGee came into the city and found the accused in the Canada Hotel.They had a few drinks together and after a good deal of persuasion on the part of the complainent, Robarge was induced to go borne with him in his team.On arriving at the dwelling of the accused’s brother in-law the rig was stopped and accused got out, and after a little beckoned to McGee to follow.He did so, and the next that lie was aware of was that accused had his thumb between his teeth.He was also struck in the head.Dr.Worthington gave evidence to the effect that McGee was in a very critical condition for sometime on account of the thumb and that it would always he stiff.The evidence for the defence was very contradictory and the Magistrate in passing sentence said a good deal of it was irrelevant to the case and unreliable.Mr.Broderick, who prosecuted, briefly asked that the full sentence of the Court he enforced as the present case was one < f the worst he had heard.It was a relic of cannibal ism such an act, and in the interests of society accused should be severely punished.The District Magistrate said that there was no doubt but what accused had committed the assault and ho thought it was one of the worst cases lie had heard of since his connection with law.The sentence of the Court whs that accus'd be c mfined in the jail for six months with hard labour, and that he pay the whole costs of that day’s proceedings, failing which he would be confined still further for two months.Do not fail to see the “Yellow Kid” on Exhibition in our window during Exhibition week.H.Samuel.“Dis
