London, February 21.—A special despatch from Pretoria, dated February 20, says 800 Boers nassed Pien&art River, moving in the direction of Nylstrom, a point about 75 miles north of Pretoria, on the railroad between Pretoria and Pietersburg, It is supposed they purposed discussing the question of desertion and surrender.They were in a deplorable state.Their clothing was in rags, many were riding donkeys, while others trudged afoot.All ap|>eared to be in the greatest distress.A Johannesburg despatch says Commandant-General Botha is suing for peace.Ten persons were killed yesterday in a train wreck about eight miles from Trenton, N.J., by an ex tress train crashing into fast local on Pennsylvania railroad.The wreckage caught fire and many not killed outright were burner! to death.pondent of the Morning Post, wiring yesterday, “the foreign envoys « agreed to a compromise.They propose to permit the imperial court « to commute the sentences of the decapitation in the cases of Prince Tuan, Duke Lan, and General Tung Fuh Hsiang to life imprison- • ment, and will agree to the follow- ! ing punishment : Yu Hsiang to be decapitated.I Chao Shu Chiao and Y ing Nien 1 to be permitted to strangle them- i selves, and Chi Hsin and Hsu 1 Cheng Wu to be beheaded in Pekin.If the court advances no new obstacle, the negotiations on the first point of the demands may be considered closed.” Dr.Morrison, writing to the Times from Pekin yesterday, says ; “The court has yielded and consented to the infliction of the punishment demanded, petitioning, however, that the sentences on Chao Shu Chino and Y ing Nien may be strangulation instead of decapitation.“To this the foreign envoys have agreed.The question, therefore, is virtually settled, and a raison d'etre for the Tai Yuen Fu expedition ceases to exist.” $ TYPICAL OF ITS CLASS.The head of one of Queen \ ictor-ia’s prize Hereford steers has been bought by the British museum as the most typical of its class ever produced.GRANT FOR LORD ROBERTS.London, Feb.21.-It is reported that the British parliament will be invited to vote £100,000 to Lord Roberts.A question on this subject will be asked in the House of Commons this afternoon.BLACK MONTH OF TH AL FAMILY.ROY- January might almost be called the black month of the royal family.George III.died on January 20, 1820;

RESTORED HIM TO HEALTH AND STRENGTH.For upwards of a quarter of a century, Mr.Ueo.McLean has been a resident of the town of Thorold.He is foreman in the lumber yards of McCleary & McLean, and is known not only to the citizens of the town, but by most of the inhabitants of tin* adjoining region as well.Many of Mr.McLean’s friends know that he was afflicted with a severe type of sciatica, and know also that lie has been released from thepangs of that excruciating trouble.Believing that his story would b • of public interest, a reporter called upon him and ask-nim to what agency he attributed liis unfortunate release |from pain.Mr.McLean’s unhesitating reply was “Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills, and 1 neverhesitate to say so either.” Mr.McLean continued “I was afflicted with sciatica for a number of years.The most severe attack occurred several years ago, when I was confined to my bed for several months.I suffered horribly with the trouble, and the only relief I could get was from morphine, either in tablets or hypodermically injected.I could not put my foot on the ground without undergoing intense agony.I was treated by physicians, and at the hospital in St.Catherines, to which institution I had to be taken on a stretcher.I was in the hospital nearly three months, but without being cured.Then I returned home very much discouraged.I next tried electricity, but it had no perceptible effect.I also tried a number lof advertised medicines, but with no better results.Finally I was urged to try Dr.Williams Pink Pills, and as I was willing to try anything that seemed to offer hope of a cure, I £ot several boxes.I had been using the pills nearly a month before I found much relief, but from that on my recovery was rapidly and in the course of a few months: I was as well as ever I had been.I am now a strong, healthy man, and although I have since endured much exposure, I have had uo return of the trouble, and feel that my cure is permanent.Dr.Williams' Pink Pills certainly proved a blessing in try case, and I shall praise them when opportunity offers.Rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, partial paralysis,locomotor ataxia, nervous headache, nervous pros tration, and diseases depending upon humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc., all disappear before a fair treatment with Dr.Williams' Pink Pills They give a healthy glow to pale an; a*

must first exist.The means of attaining that end will readily present themselves If honestly sought.It is all well enough, for example, to ship In feeding cattle from a distance, but why may not the farmers of the corn and blue grass belt carry good herds of cows and rear a still better grade of calves than con usually be bought on the range or In central markets?Buyers are scouring the country for good young steers and cannot find them.Why do not farmers breed to fill this steady demand?It will commonly pay any careful farmer to buy a few registered cows or heifers and breed them to pedigreed bulls of the same type.One does not need to wait until able to purchase a large lot.One or two good pure bred heifers properly handled will soon grow into money.And so with sheep or any other variety of the domestic animals.Few farmers are rich enough to afford the luxury of “scrubs.” They should not be tolerated on any land that grows good crops.Un profit a l»le Stock.It Is one thing to keep an old animal that has been the pride and pet of the family for years after it has ceased to be profitable nivd another to keep one that is not and never was able to earn it* keeping.Yet while not many farmers feel able to do the former for senti nient’s sake there are hundreds who are doing the latter from no other rea son than an unpardonable ignorance as to the cost of keeping and the actual results received from the animal.The Babcock tost is doing much to weed out some of the unprofitable cows when used In connection with the regular weighing of the milk, but other animals

as much as the circumvented rodents.Iu exposed localities, where winds were severe, we have seen many trees ruined by this sort of protection.In the western states cornstalks and newspapers arc often tied about the trunks of young trees and are generally satisfactory.Smearing the trees with blood, tar, dendrolene, raupenlelm and other mixtures is apt to prove a disappointment in various ways.In our own experience we have found quite as much success In merely banking up about the trees with earth, says Country Gentleman.niKKlftff Sweet Pot«toe«.Sweet potatoes should not be dug before the middle of October.Before frost the vines should be cut off and the tops of the ridges covered with earth.After digging keep them In a dry, airy room for a month in order to dry them out thoroughly.Then sort them, rejecting every bruised, broken or rotten tuber.Wrap the perfect ones separately in paper, put In boxes and keep in dry room as for squashes.Remember they must not chill or get damp.—Ohio Farmer.AS*.Tfood’l FhOiphodlM, Th* Grtnt Ençlüh Krmrty Sold and recommended by all druggist* In Canada Only rail able medicine discovered.Six Sexual *pa*kmom (juarcmUrd to cure all

the nerviest shootings that ever came off iu the west occurred some years ago in Arizona,” said a Denver aian at the Hotel Victoria.“I ihiuk it was at Tombstone that it happened, hut 3f that I am not certain.It seemed that a certain road agent and all around d< s perate character had turned up in the town.Of course he xvas travt ling strict ly incog, but he was recognized, and the news of his arrival aoon reached tin* ear* of the sheriff, win» straightway stinted out to land him.The had men of tin* west travel with their lives in their hands and know it.They are always prepared for the possibility of capture or an al tempt which may he made to do so, and they try to take every precaution to render such action abortive.Then, too, as a a rule these men prefer deatli to capture.In most cases capture means that '.hey will ultimately dance the jig of deatli at the end of the hempen thread after having been duly tried and sentenced.But even when they have nothing worse to face than a term of years in tin* pen they will put up as stubborn a resistance as if they were wanted for murder, for their love of freedom causes them to prefer death in a fight to being imprisoned for a term of years.The desperado 1 am telling you of, however, had committed every crime known to the criminal dar, and there were a dozen fered for him, dead or alive.Capture with him meant cert ni* and Ignominious death, and it was a surely that he would fight to the bitter end and sell his life as dearly as possible.Th# sheriff knew this, but, himself a desperately courageous man, nevertheless resolved on his capture.But he was as careful as possible about it and placed his man by carefully guarded inquiries in order that the quarry might not take fright and escape him.Finally the sheriff found out that the road agent was in a gambling joint and went there after him.Tbe robber in the meantime had sized the room up carefully, and while not expecting trouble he took what pre coutious be could to avoid ll should it arise.“The sheriff’s most intimate friend, man named Driscoll, was playing faro, and the desperado took the seat beside him, which faced tlie door.Suddenly that door was filing open with a crash, and the sheriff, a revolver in either hand, appeared in tlie portal.Men dived for places of safety, tallies and chairs were upset, and in the confusion the road agent jumped on Driscoll’s back aud swung him between him and the sheriff.The robber was the stronger man, hut Driscoll put up n good fight, and while he could not shake him off or turn him toward the sheriff he nevertheless could prevent him from drawing Ids gun, which the rood agent was desperately trying to do.Around and around they swung, the sheriff excitedly dancing around tbe men, afraid to shoot on account of the fear of Injuring his friend.“ ‘For the land’s sake, Danny, bold still,’ he cried, ‘till I get a shot at fbe divil/ “‘How cnn I?’ gasped Driscoll.‘The spalpeen’s stronger than I am.’ “For a few’ seconds longer the struggle went on, and then Driscoll spread ins legs apart in an effort to acquire sufficient purchase with his feet to hold the road agent still.The sheriff saw his chance and without a second’s delay dove baseball fashion through Driscoll’s legs.Turning then, he shot upward, and with the ring of the shot the road agent’s soul took flight.A more extraordinary killing navel took place in the west.” une.ATENTS IN AU.COUNTIIIC1 GUARANTEED BEAUDRY du BROWN C»vil EwoiNf brs and Land SusvrviffW 107 Or.jamb* ST.MONT*m~M.YOU’RE Pretty Apt to get exactly what you

and C.VV.Cate composed the delegation, and they were accompanied by I )r.Pelletier of Sherbrooke county, Mr.Lovell, of Stanstead, Mr.Chi-coy ne, Wolfe, and Mr.(dard, Compton.The members of the Government who received the deputation were the Premier (Hon.Mr.Parent)!Ion.Mr.Archambault, Hon Mr.Duffy, and Mr Clouin.The proposition as laid down bj' the deputation was that the city was about to erect a new city hall and that they must come to an immediate decision about building.Before locating the site for the new city hall the City Council wanted to, know from the Government whether they could not be induced to place the court house in proximity to the city hall.It* this arrangement could be come to with the Government, the city hall, court house and the widening of the street in line with the Sun Life building towards a point below the present old city hall, would at once be proceeded with.In an interview with Councillor McManamy yesterday morning, he staled that he thought everything looked favorable towards the Government entering into,this proposition.The Hon.Messrs.Dully and Gouin promised to come to Sherbrooke at an early date and give a decided answer on the question.The members representingComp-ton.Stanstead, Wolfe and Sher-hroo’re, spoke in favor of the court house being placed in a more central spot than it at present occu pies.Liberals Elect Officers

ening.Subject, “The Attitude of — the Church Towards Card Playing banquet in ht.gkokgk’s uluh.and Dancing.” On Wednesday afternoon the head office of the Eastern Townships Bank engaged the representative* of the branch office in a game of hockey.This is now looked upon as an annual event and creates a good deal of talk among the various employees of the bank.The receipts were in aid of the Nurses* Cottage.There was a very good attendance.The game was rather an exciting one and resulted in a win for the head office by 12 goals to 5.At halftime the game stood 5 to2 in favor of the head office.The teams were: Head office, goal, M.A.Macfarlane; point, A.J.Lomas; cover point, F.White: forwards, A.Ikmualie (capt.), —.Scarth, R.Griffith and A.Simpson.Branch office- Baxter, Richmond, goal; Robinson, Granby, point; Hawley, Cowansville, cover point ; forwards, C.Moe (capt.), Cowansville; Messrs.Ball, Rich mond : Aust in, Coaticook.At the conclusion of the game ihe members of the branch team and otliju representatives of the branch (mices, who had come in to witness the game were entertained to a banquet in St.George’s Club by their confrers of the head office.Mr.James McKinnon, assistant general manager, presided, and the managers of the branch banks oresent were Mr.Robinson, Granby, and Mr.Ball, Richmond.When covers had been removed, the following toasts were proposed : “Our King,” and “Our Guests, ’ were given by the chairman.Messrs.Robinson, Ball and C.Moe replied to the latter toast.“Our General Manager” and “Our Inspector” was given by Mr.Dinning and responded to by Mr.E.Farwell.Mr.Dinning in proposing the toast referred to the absence of the general manager, Mr.w.Farwell.and Mr.8.F.Morey, inspector, the former in Italy and the latter in Florida, in search of health, and expressed the hope that t hey would soon return fully restored to health, a sentiment which was concurred in by all those present.“The Ladies” was given by Mr.Austin, and responded to by Messrs.Simpson and Bonnallie.The last toast was that of ‘ The Cha;rman,” Mr.Maekinnon, proposed by Mr.E.W.Farwell.who took the opportunity to congratulate him on his recent appointment and assured him of the loyal support of the head office staff.Mr.Dinning acted as vice-chairman, and Mr.Macfarlan * as sécréta rv.The hope was expressed that this meeting of the branch and head office staffs would become a yearly event.BARNSTON.Rehearsing for the coming dramatic entertainment is now the chief matter of interest.The Club met at Mrs.George Hall’s on Monday evening ana report satisfactory progress.Doubtless the date will soon be fixed.Miss Eva Marsh, daughter of Dennis Marsh.Esq., of Harford, was here over Sunday, the guest of vliss Lizzie Thornton.The parties most in evidence during last week of storm and blow, was Mr.Meade, the intrepid mail carrier and stage driver, and those who manned the snow roller.None but nerves would brave the blinding drifts and severe

have the shape favoring w hat we call oblong.The Cochin shaped, heavy plumed Brahma, the short bodied IMyrnoutli Bock, the pigeon breasted excessively bloeky Wyandotte, ail lay smaller eggs and fewer of them thaï their larger framed, oblong sisters ni the same breeding.Thus do we se« that shape sadly affects fecundity, just ns the different shaped ceils of the Ik produce the queens or tin* workers.And one of the breeds that have sut fered most in this respect lias been tlu Wyandotte, both at the hands of judges who force the winners into tills squatty, wide bodied shape which is ni variance witli egg prod net iou and he cause of ancestral influences of the Sebright Bantam, White Hamburg, Bose Comb Leghorn, Buff Cochin, Dark Brahma and Albino Plymouth Bock.A multiplicity of short bodied, small egg races, coupled with the insane demand of the judges for short bodies, has made it a hard matter for ordinary breeders to satisfy patrons that fowls of tliis race are producers of first class eggs, while if they would breed the males only with geneyously furnished pendent ear lobes and wattles and fe mules with long formation of body and set only eggs that weigh a pound and a half or more to the dozen they would have no trouble to raise Wyandotte» to weigh in excess of present standard demand.These birds can be a reasonable exponent of the standard.All the judge lias to do to make them so is to throw himself upon the side of nature in its most productive form ami punish extra shortness the same as be would excessive length of body, thus giving the medium shaped birds the prizes.Then after three generations of tills course the breeder would no longer have to make apologies for their egg production, either for size, shape or color.—I.K.Felch in Farm-Poultry.Oftentimes the fir* warnings of kidum vi/ disease nre neglected J think it will Ik* all ri)',!’ iu a day or two—bu ¦iek kidnsys won’t get w ell without help.DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS Are the be*t frier I of kidneys needinp assistance.Bead the proof from a tuiloi Who lias tried them.Mr.John Robertson, merchant tailor Durham* Out., gives his experience a follows: MI had been ailing with my kidneys f« mere thnn a year xvin ii 1 commenced taki• Doan's Kidney Puis, which 1 got at M« Farlane's drug store, and uni sincerely glu that 1 did so.Tho wrong action of no l.idneya m ule me sick all over and can c.me much inconvenience and pain.That i i i\v a thing of tho past, because Doani Kidnoy Pills cured mo.I have had n< (rouble or inconvenience with my kidmn or hack since 1 took tiiese remarkable pills and yon may be nuro that 1 gladly recoin mend them tooth».iers."
