Fortunately per- fect calm prevailed, The Marrs valued their stock at $12,000, and had insurance of $7,000 on stock and $2,500 on the building. A good part of the stock was saved in a damaged con- lition and the building can be rebuilt, so that the loss is fully covered. chindillifitimeall A Cur is Waors.—-With the advent of November an unwelcome change was made in the pay of the freight conductors and brakes- men who run between St. Thomas and Toron- to on the Credit Valley Division of the Cana- da Pacific Railway, Hitherto they have been illowed a day and o half for the trip.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Farmer and the Merchant.

Sir,—I have frequently listened to the store keepers complaining Of farmers not marketing their produce ez#rlier in the season, and paying their sture keepers, and in a style not complimentary to the farming customers. Now, sir, has not every question two sides to it? Tn the first place, ! would ask, do merchants give twelve months credit to farmers’ ont of pure philanthropy, or do they not rather do so to increase the volume o! their business and make more money, and do not farmers have to pay an increased price for the accommodation ?

Is there a merchant in P. E. Island who will say that if he received cash he could not sell cheaper ; and, then, as to prompt payment? Certainly that is most desirable. But in times of extreme low prices, are not farmers justified fn holding their produce for at least a small rise? Is it not in .the interest of the store keepers themselves that farmers should obtain the ~ highest obtainable price for their produce, that they may be enabled to pay theie aceounts in full! And I claim for farmers that, having been charged a credit price for their goods they are entitled to use their own judgment in marketing their produce, and if I had been a customer of one of these croakers | should transfer my custom to where it was better appreciated. The farmer has a right to market his produce when it suits his convenience and drive the hardest possible bargain with his storekeeper. If the storekeepers do not like the farmers system of doing business, let him turn farmer. If the farmer does not pay his bills when ‘they are due this is a differ- ent question. The farmer is morally and legally bound to fulfill his promises. If he does not do so the store keeper has his remedy, like all business men, The trouble here is that the store keeper would lose reputation and custom by sueing, while the farmer’s credit is little affected by being sued. n

In truth, the farmer is master of the situation, and if the merchant chooses to become his servant the farmer is not to be blamed. The store keeper, like the farmer, can manifest his independence by selling for cash; — If he cannot insist upon a cash basis, he is at liberty to engage in a less competitive business,

In my next communication I will show that shipping potatoes early in the fall (in bulk) before they are seasoned is a loss to all parties concerned (middle men and agents excepted).

CeLery.—Very few are aware of the medi cinal properties contained in Celery. Asa nerve quietor—it has not its equal. If you are ner- vous, irritable or indisposed, dw not rush off to the apothecary and swill yourself with

uack medicine. Go quietly and calmly to Gay's Stall,Market, House and procure a sup- ly of celery for winter use, and you will faed food and medicine combined. It nour- ishes and stimulates the brain, strengthens and quiets the nerves, and has a_beneticial effect upon the whole system. | Any honest physician, not too fond of his fees, will tell you the same. For the benefit of. those who {are not partial to celery raw, we give ® recipe | below for stewing it, which tends to make it even more agreeable than any oyster stew,and | similar as follows. —Cut in small pieces two lor three stalks of celery, (the unblanched | green parts are as good as the white for this | purpose) boil in water until tender, then add | milk, butter, pepper and salt to suit the taste, as for oyster stew. servt bot with oyster crackers, nov 23 2:
