—Mr. O'Dwyer Grey, proprietor of the Freeman's Journal, announces his rejec- tion of Me. Parnell’s leadership. Mr. Grey was one of the few men in the Nat- ionalist ranks who were strong of them. selves and who remained friendly t» the Irish chief. His withdrawal will leave Mr. Parnell with a Parliamentary follow- ing made up almost entirely of individuals without means or strength outside of what the'r master gave them when he picked them out for election in the constituencies he once controlled, and a gvod many of them stick to their colors because the enemy will not take them over.

—The Quebec Mercury says rumors are afl>at about grave charges being made as to the management of the provincial depart- ments at Quebec, and hints that investiga- tion may show a worse state of aifsirs there than prevails among the employes at O.tawa. The Montreal Gazette says that the Mercury is talking foolishness. The facts found out about the Lockwood swindle, the Pacaud blackmailing of con- tractors, the Table Rock j>b, the Polette library steal, and the other minor scand- als, indicate that there is connected with the Government at a gang of thieves, besides whom the O-tawa boodlers are as apprentices to master workmen.

-The speech of Lord Salisbury at the banque* of the Lord Mayor of London is r:n ark «ble for its tone of confidence, which is in strong contrast with the utterances of the Conservative press on the recent bye- election. The references to the condition of Ireland, te the educa ion bil!, and to the foreign powers were all characteristic of

the Premier. He has given the plainest denial to the charge which the HRadicals have lately been endeavoring t> make

against the Government of political sym pathy with Germany and the Triple Alliance. The peaceful ideas of the ere t powers was the keynote of this part of the speech, while the statement that he hoped in a few weeks to welcome to England the fleet of the French republic, is a merci'ess retort to the ravings of the sensationalists who would have the world believe that the relations of Russia and France are a menace to the peace of Enrope.

Prof.

Pror. Joun Rosertson of the Dominion Dairy Experimental Farm, Ottawa, delivered a very practical and instructive lecture before the Chree Rivers Dairymen’s Asscciation in the public school hall, on Friday even- the Sist ult. The President eccupied the chair and introduced the lecturer. Among those of the adjoining districts, we noticed Messrs. O.Gordon, P.J.D. Edmunds, G. F. Mellish, and many others whose names we did not secure.

The Professor began his lecture by asking he farwers to think more, and they would uave | ss aecessity for work. He thought hard hand indicated a soft head. He wished to know which would be the mofs ,dvantageous way of wintering a cow? by feeding her the product of three acres ia hay or of one acre in fodder corn, parti- cularly when the latter was less exhaustive to the soil,

The Professor also impressed upon the farmers the absolute necessity of concen- trating their products in the form of butter, cheese, meat, ete., thereby retaining and idding to the fertility of the soil. This system had been adopted in Ontario anc with the best results. There about 700 cheese factories are in daily operation and yiving the utmost satisfaction to all con- serned. The corner store keeper did not escape notice. Hethought that in the majority of cases they were the vultures and the good wife’s baskets of ill-prepared butter their natural prey. In regard to a cheese factory, he thought the milk of between 250 te 300 cows, owned by say 60 to 30 farmers, could be easily manufactured by twocompetent men, This factory could be kept running nearly six months, and would distribute among its patrons the tidy little sam of $12,000.

John Hamilton, Eoq., then gave a brief account of the cheese movement in P. E. Island considered the failure of this important industry, was owing more to ab- sentee ownership and control than to any other reason. He asked the farmers to take hold of this question and avail them- selves of the liberal offer of the Dominion Goverument, They could easily afford to dw this.

P. J. D. Edmunds, Esq., entirely agreed with what had been said, and cffsr- ed to take shares in the company to be formed after August 20, if the report of the committee, appointed to ascertain the milk supply is favorable, After the usual vote of thanks to Professor Robertson and the chairman, the meeting closed.

An Islander Killed.

JOSEPH MOONEY—WAS HE MURDERED /

Sad FATE OF

A rew days ago, Mr. H. R. Mooney, of Peake’s Station, received word that his son Joseph had been killed at Florens, near Sacramento, Cal., on the morning of the 5th July.

It appears, from what we cay learn of the affair, that Mooney and a ranchman named Kayes or Casey, went to a party on the night of the 4th July, The party was kept up all night. There was some drinking going on. Mooney, however, was not taking anytiims, and declined several offers to drink. About three o’clock in the morning, Mooney and the ranchman left for home, passing in the ueighborhvod of the line of railway.

About four o’cluck in the morning, as the train was co ning slong at a good speed, tle drive n ticed tw» objects prustrated on the track, Le at once whistled ‘down brakes,’ but before the train could be brought to a stand-still half the cars had , assed over the objects oa the track. The objects proved tu be Mooney and the ranchman. The ranchman, who was lying accoss the trick was literally cut to pieces. Mooney, who was lying lengthwise, was not badly mutilated, and lived a few minutes after being picked up.

How the menc2me to be lying on the track is a mystery. Mooney was not drunk, and it is not likely a sober man, and a man used to rai/roading as he was, would delib- erately lie down there and go to sleep. The supposition is that the men were first at- tacked and almost killed, and then placed upon the track in crder that the train might finish the work and thus ward off suspicion. There wasa bad wound on the back of Mooney’s head, and another on the head of hiscompanion. These wounds, it is said, were not such as would be ufde by the train passing over them.

In the ranchman’s pocket was found a revolver with several chambers empty. Several hard-looking characters

were observed looking in through the win- ‘low at Mooney and his companion during the progress of the party. Perhaps these men foliowed the two from the house and attacked them. A desperate fight may have taken place, which ended in the kill- ing of Mooney and his companion. This would account for the empty chambers in the rauchman’s revolver.

Mooney, the only one who could explain matters, although alive when picked up, was not able to talk. Hence the sad affair must remain a mystery.

Joseph Mooney was by profession a tele- graph operator, and was for atime in charge of a station out west. He was about. twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, and is highly spoken of by those who knew him.

The information received is very meagre aud Mooney’s father has written for fur. ther particulars.

Canapa’s InTexNaTionaL Exuisitiox — Arrangements have been completed with neatly all the railway and steamship com- panies for very low rates and special excursions during the time of the exhibi- tion, to be held at St. Johan, N.B, Sept. 23rd to Oct. 3rd. The musical society of St Joho are making their arrangements for repeating the mammoth concert, which was “iven last year, on a much larger scale, and to be held in a separate building in order to avoid the crowding and noise which was a draw back of last year. Some of the lead- ing soloists of the United States have been engaged for this concert. The exhibition association have just completed their ar- ravgements for a series of baloon ascen-
