Ir would be well for vendors of butter in the market to hereafter comply with the regulations contained in the city by-laws re- lating to the sale of butter. Of late there has been considerable dissatisfaction expressed by purchasers regarding weight, etc. Vendors, therefore, should be careful, and have, accord- ing to law, the prints in quarters, halves, and pounds, If not we predict there will be trouble in the butter market.

Tur platform at the approach to Ferry Wharf is in a disgraceful condition. Serious accidents are reported to have occurred on it owing to the many rotten and displaced plank now lying over the gutter. One country woman fell into the trap, which now exists there, and had a basket of eggs destroyed by the fall, but she would not commence an action for damages against the City, because it would cost her more than the loss of the eggs. Would it not be well for the city to have repairs made there before gteater damage 1s done.

Through Fire and Smoke. EXPERIENCE OF A TORONTONIAN ON THE PRAIRIES.

THRILLING

A Toronto gentleman at present travel- ling in the{Northwest, sends to the Toronto Mail the following thrilling experience of a prairie fire through which he passed : Severe prairie fires are raging between the North and South Saskatchewan, and ex- tending east and west for hundreds of miles burning up everything throughout this part of the country. I left Battleford last Fri- day on a buckboard, accompanied by Dr. Dyke Parker, who is collecting specimens of the flora and fauna of the Battleford district for the British Museum. For sev- eral days Battleford had been enshrouded in smoke, and as we advanced southward the smoke became denser, until eighteen miles south of Battleford a heavy column of dense smoke and flame was seen ad- vancing towards us, with a strong wind blowing directly in our teeth. For some little time we drove towards it, and then halted, with the intention of burning a patch in which to stand as the fire swept past. We were advised by some Indians, however, who were going before the fire, to make fora butte or hill, where the grass was short, and torun through the fire there, asthe smoke was becoming unbearable. This we accordingly did, reaching it just before the flames lapped up the long grass in the bottom below, and roared through the popular bluffs on the other side. Then, as it rushed up the hill side, we put the horse at it, and shutting our eyes and wrap- ping ourselves in blankets, we dashed through where the fire was lowest and EMERGED INTO A BLACKENED WASTE

beyond, half-suffocated, but none the worse. We travelled ouward through burnt and smoking country all the next day, and the following morning again met the fire on its southern course. Taking our foregoing ex- perience, we waited until it reached the short herbage on some rising ground, and again cleared it safely, but had a sharp run before it, as it swept rapidly after us, and reached the high grass in the low land be- yond. All day the smoke was almost un- bearable, but we pushed on, and towards evening had again to dash through the fire three several times, which we safe- ly accomplished with a slight singeing. We were now nearing a long stretch of flat prairie where the grass had attained a considerable height, through which the fire was dashing with lightning speed, and the flames rising ten feet high and more. As weadvanced, in its rear, a team attached to a wagon was seen madly dash- ing through the flame and_ smoke towards us. They slackened speed as they breasted the hill on which we stood, and on driving up wefound the rig badly smashed, the horses with manes and tails burnt com- pletely off, and their hides burnt and torn off in large patches, leaving the Taw and bleeding flesh. They were terribiy burnt, and cannot live. Mr. Prince, of Battle- ford, and a boy were with them, and they were also much burnt, especially Mr. Prince whose face and hands. WERE MASSES OF BLISTERS,

and with beard and hair burnt off. He told us he had been caught in the high grass, that the wind suddenly changed, and that before they could burn a patch the flames rushed down upon them. He, how- ever, might have outstripped them with his fast team had it not been that he had gone to the help of some incoming settlers, con- sisting of two men and some women and ghildren, who had an ox-wagon heavily laden. We gave him what assistance lay in our power, and travelled on, He will jeave his horses with the boy and walk into

warls we met the ox-wagon. The ,;men showed terrible evidence of the severe ordeal through which they had

'pacsed, and were severely burnt about | the face and hands, The oxen were also jYery badly burnt, and their hides were cracked and peeling off. The women and children were placed on the top of the | wagon, which was piled high with furniture | blankets were wrapped round th They | got off with burnt hands. They will camp | until some teams that are coming up behind will arrive, These teams we hurried on to meet, and sent them forward at their best speed to help the others on. Till we reached the South Saskatchewan the coun- try was adreary, blackened waste. But on the side of the river, southward to Swift Current station on the Canada Pacific railway, the prairie grass waved in full vigor, —_ Te 2 = -

A terrible surprise and shock were given to the large congregation drawn to the Church of St. John the Evangelist last Snnday morning by the Rev. Dr. Ewar, the celebrated ritualist of St. Ignatius, in New York, being prostrated by a stroke of paralysis. He was conveyed to St. Law- rence hall insensible, where his wife is stopping also. At a late hour the most eminent physicians here declare it im- possible for the distinguished preacher to survive.

Senor Minez has been accepting M. Ferry's courtesy at the theatre, and it is taken that the French and Spanish governments in spite of all that has passed are still on friendly terms.
