The Price Bigamy Case.
A @) abec de pat th of W ednesday anys ° In the Court of Queen’s Bench in session in this city. Mr. Dunbar, Q. C., Counsel for Thomas Cairns Price, accused of bigamy, announced that his client desired to with- draw his pleas of ‘* not guilty.”
Price was placed at the bar and, in reply to the «ne he desired to change his plea, answered in a firm voice, *' 1 de;

land sinee the fall, would jiave to accept ruinously for their cattle this apring if they had only had the Provincial markets todepend upon. The lecal demands of St. John and Halifax for beef would have come far shert of ex- hausting the supply which was in the ~ ‘his trans-Atlantic trede in beef cattle sheuld be carefully cultivated and, in every practicable way, encouraged ‘The kind ©! stock best suited tu meet the re- qairemonts of the English consumer should be raised; ‘and that system of feeding adopted which is found to produce the best quality of beef. If the farmers of these Lewer Provinces can be induced to careful- ly attend to these matters, there is no question but their products will be seught after, and will secure the highest prices in any market to which they may bo sent. Geographical position gives us a great advantage, in this business, over a)! other parts of the Continent. We are saved a long and wasteful transporta- tien by rail and, when we reach the port of shipment, a shorter voyage carries our cat- tle to market, And the peculiarities of our climate are not against us. Roets can be more successfully raised here then in.the West. Barley is a comparatively sure crop ; and for summer feeding our pastures suffer much less from drouths than those farther from the sea board. —~ 2+ ——- ++ oe The Boston Commonwealth has discevered among the Japanese the following wise behaviour as to art objeets : ‘* The Japanese are fond of pictures and ornamentation in their dwellings, but they do not, as we do, have a great many things exposed at once. One or two pitures, a fungus,a hang- ing basket or a bracket, serve for a time, and when these are laid away, the pictures being rolled up, their places are supplied by other things. But if a visitor expresses a liking fer such things, they will bring out quantities for his inspection. They enjoin the following good rules for looking at a picture : You mnst not look at it on a dark day, nor a cloudy day, nor when it is so cold that your breath will form a nioist before you ; nor must you look at it when you are iller cross or unhappy, lest these circumstances influence your opinion. You must not unroll it so as to see the artists name at first, but study it at leisure, so as to judge impartially of its meriis, and whe the artist may be.

Dise ussing the refusal of the British Gov- | ernment te recognize the validity of the claim of the United States Government for damages to American fishermen by what is termed the Fortune Bay outrage, the New York Post gives this sensible advice :— ‘‘Binster on either side is meanwhile totally uncalled for and ont of place, and
ous levislation against Canadian railroads or other Dominion interests is distinctly untimely and indisereet. Whether we deal with Lord Salisbury or Lord Hartington, the ’ortune Bay affair is one that can best be adjusted by temperate handling frem first to last, The United States are now far too strong a nation to quarrel over straw, or refuse to Go justice to a sister power when unforseen differences arise that maay conilict with the latter, buat are un- likely in the sequel to contliet with- the spirit of an established treaty.”
There is no place like San Francisco for enterprise after all. Last week the wife of a well-known business man eloped. The departure was discovered about ten o’cleck in the evening, and it the same hour the next morning the husband had the goods gold at auction, and delivered the key ef the heuse to the landlerd the afternoon of he s:meday. He was terribly afraid she woul change her mind and return.

There is a pretty little story from Shrews- bury, England. As a farmers daughter was fetching a loaf of bread from the pantry the other day, she was startied by' first one mense and then another leaping out of ttand making off frightened. On cutting up the loaf a cosy nest was found in the contre containing fourteen little mice. The bread had been baked eight days.

The shee) were sent through by the Messrs, Henry, of Halifax. The horses, which were remarkably fine animals, came from Prince Edward Island, having been pur- chased there by the agents of American firms.

P ERSONS who cultivate the so on find
ent that it pays them to get the best Seeds, Trees and Plants. Now, many who sellarnd some whe buy know nothing about the cenditions upon which they grow. Some seed are nearly useless after the first year; others, again, whose vitalityis strong, are good, if properly kept, for many years. As we have been in the Nursery Seed and Market Garden business
FOR ELEVEN YEARS,
we ‘think we, know something about the nature of Seeds, and would not knowingly sell to another what we would not use in our own Garden. Our increasingly large yearly sales seem to point to the fact that our Seeds, &¢,, are giving satisfaction. Our mailing ac- commodations are so geod that we can send 4 lbs. or less of seeds in one parcel te any Post Office for one cent per four oz, thus bringing our Seeds to your ewn Pest Office.
