That is to say, in- stead of the money we have the Hospital for the Insane, the Court House at George- town, the Stock Farm buildings, and other valuable assets. But the amount no longer yields revenue from Ottawa; and it may, therefere, be subtracted from capital, as follows :— Capital yielding revenue 3lst

In respect to the statement of the Patriot that the Hon. S. Prowse accepted the position of Senator and ‘* never said thank you, gentlemen, for putting me in for Murray Harbor,” we have reliable authority tor giving the statement an em- phatic and unqualitied denial. At three public meetings held in the Murray Harbor district, Mr. Prowse publicly acknowledged the obligations he was under to the people of that district, and expressed his thanks to them. There are very few men so thank- less as the Hon. David Laird, and Senator Prowse is not one of them,

-La Grippe has evidently taken a ® ‘ong hold upvun the English people. The ti it i]

iumber of cases of influenza reported in ,ndon is constantly increasing. A_ large number of nurses in the hospitals, doctors fend clergymen are prostrated. The disease continues to spread among the _ police. Many members of the police fores at Brad- ford are incapaciated for work by influenza. A number of the employes on the pestal and telegraph service at Beltast are suffer- jing from mfluenza. The disease has also }attacked many college students and profes- | sors there.

-The crown lands department of the | Province of Quebec, advertised for public isaleon Thursday and Friday next, at (Juebec, leases of fishing rights on certain /streams of that province for a period of ten years.

|that the Federal authorities have doubts as }to the competency of provincial authori- ‘ties to dispose of fishing rights in rivers fand streams within the province, and has | suggested that the sale be postponed pend- | ing a friendly discussion of the whole ques- tion between the two governments.

Board of 1 rade.

THe reguiar quarterly and annual meet- ing of the Board of Trade was held last evening. The President, Mr. Lewis Car- vell, read his annual report which was on metion adopted.

The report shows that the Board is in a fiourishing cor?ition financially with total issets and surplus, Dec. 31st, 1889, of $951.01. This shows an increase in assets for the past year of $170.

The following resulution was unanimous- ly adopted —

Resolved, That a committee of three mem- bers be app»inted to nominate offi-ers for the ensuing year and to suggest means by which the objects of the Board may be more fuily carried ont, and to report at an adjourned meeting to be he'd on Monday evening, Feb- ruary 10th at 8 o'clock.

Messrs. George Peake, Horace Haszard and W. L. Cotton were appuinted said com- mittee.

ro A Vancouyer Romance.

An Enoch Arden story with modernized variations has Lowell, Mass., for a starting point, and far-away Vancouver, in Br:tish Columbia, as the scene of a climax with possibility of a tragic result. John McKin- ley, now inthe employ of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Vaucouver, his wife, E.iza, and Curtis L. Wing are the names of the parties concerned. The woman is mar- ried to both the men, but up to a few months ago she lived with Wing and was known as Mrs. Wing. She married McKin- ley at Moncton, N. B., many years ago, and bore him two children. McKinley went west in 1874 to find work. He wrote regularly to his wife for seven yearsand then his letters ceased. He was then in Califor- nis. ater Mrs. McKinley heard he was dead, and some years after that, believing she was a widow, she married Mr. Wing, of Lowell, Mass. In 1888 she received a letter telling her that her first husband still alive.

McKinley wrote exonerating her for marrying Wing, and offered to take her back. Last May she left Wing and went to Vancouver, where she joined her first husband. When Wing recovered from his surprise he made up his mind to get his wife back and their child, but thus far his letters to Vancouver have remained un- answered. In his despondence he drank heavily and lust bis jub. Last week, hayin raised suflicient money, he staited for Van- couver, vowing he would bring back his little one if he had to use violence. Mrs. McKinlay had three children by McKinley,

The Seed Avnual for 1890, issued by D. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, Mich., has reached our table. Its cover this year is especially artistic and attractive, and its contents, a8 usual, interesting and instruc- tive. Ferry’s seeds are thoroughly re- liable, and always come true. The direc- tions given in the annual for the cultivation of both flowers and vegetables are so full aod explicit that no one can fail of success who uses the seeds and follows the instruc- tions.

D. M. Ferry are very conservative, both in offering new sorts and in their claim for them when offered; but they take pains to inform themselves as to the true character ot all new varieties, so, if some much-laud- ed novelties are not found in the Annual, the probability is they have tested them and found them of no value.

A request sent tothe firm at Detroit, Michigan, will bring you a copy of the Seed Annual, for 1890 by return mail.
