- rere Editorial Notes.

Mr. Lynch’s second letter, in another coluimn, is well worth the careful study of our thoughtful and progressive farmers. industries of the United States are in fall swing, and the country, as a whole, is very prosperous, there has been a partial decline of business in New York. fhe fact is troubling the sage minds of careful observers in the Empire City.

The St. John’Sun remarks:

“ Sir John set himself a good exampie when

he appointed John Macdonald, ot Toronto, to ie senate. Senator Macdonald is one of the leading business men of Canada. and one of 3t authorities on commercial matters.

While the

the be

Mr. Drummond, of Montreal, is another strong man. If the Premier vontinues to make ap pointments to the Senate from among the

leading merchants and manufacturers instead of choosing men whuse only claim is that they ave elderly politiciaas of his own party, he will free the Senate from one reproach.”

~A petition for the repeal of the Scott Act in Oolchesicr is said to be supported by sume of the powerfal temperance advo- cates in the County, on the ground that the Provincial License Law is preferable as “& means of restraining the sellers and drinkers of strong hguor. We agree with the St. Johu Sun that the form of the law wakes little difference. ‘* Whatever may be the form of law its successful enforce- ment will require the sympathy and he!p of the most influential citizens, and the patient, careful, determined work of a con- siderable portion of the community.”

A Very Mysterious Death.

HOW 4 MONTREAL MERCHANT LOST HIS LIFE IN HIS OWN HOUSE,

The utmost consternation prevailed among the business men of Montreal, on Thursday, when it became known that &lr. Samuel ‘Greenschields, of {the firm of Greenschields Bros., wholesale dry goods merchants, had died the previous night under very mysterious circumstances. The facts, as brought out at the coroner’s in- quest, were as follows: On Wednesday night Mr. Greenschields and his wife were sitting in their drawing-rodm,, when. the former got up and said hé would go and do

a man about 5 feet 5 inches in height, and weighing 200 pounds, had turned out the light, and while leaving the room, had struck his head against the beam, and fall-’ ing in a swoon, had caught his neck in the noose. The front and left side of his neck were discolored, as if he had struggled for a second or two, but the face wore a natural healthy appearance. Mr. Greense’.i lds had been troubled with severe palpitation of the heart. The jury returned a verdict of ac- cidental asphyxiation. Mr. Greenschield’s life was insured, it is said, for $50,000. ee +
