Experience has taught us that many persons have been driven away in disgust from houses who are continually advertizing goods at extra- ordinary prices, which they are unable to produce when called for, and to meet this difficulty we ask intending purchasers to cal] and examine our stock and we are confident that one inspection will satisfy the most skeptical that we never advertize a humbug.

A MARVELOUS STORY

TOLD IN TWO LETTERS.

FROM THE SON: “Yous'Gs.2s;tss2"

** Gentlemen: My father resides at Glover, Vt. He has been a great sufferer from Scrof- ula, and the inclosed letter will tell you what a@ warvelous effect

Ayer's Sarsaparilla

has had in his case. I think his blood must have contained the tumor for at least ten years; but it did not show, except in the form of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about five years ago, From @ few spots which ap peared at that time, it gradualiy spread so as to cover his entire body. [ assure you he was terribly afficted, and an object of pity, when he began using your medicine, Now, there are few men of his age who enjoy as good health as he has. I could sasily name fifty persons who would teetify to the facts in his case. Yours truly, W. M. PHILLIPS.”

FROM THE FATHER: jesse tna

a duty for me to state to you the benefit [ have derived from the use of

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Six months ago 1 was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofnlous sores. The humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked 80 as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a barden. I commenced the use of the SARSAPARILLA In April last, and have used it regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect — being now able to do @ good day’s work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AYER’S SARSAPARILLA. Glover, Vt., Oct 21, 1882. - Yours gratefuily, HIRAM PHILLIPS.”

AYER’S SARSAPARILLA cures Scrofula and all Scrofulous Complaints, Erysip- elas, Eczema, Ringworm, Bloitches, Sores, Boils, Tumors, and Eruptions of the Skin. It clears the blood of all impu- rities, aids digestion, stimulates the action of the bowels, and thus restores vitality and strengthens the whole system.

‘A Frovince Without a Grievance. (Winnipeg Manitoban )

Excellency the Gevernor-General, on his arrival in that city upon the fact that he has passed through the Province by a new and hitherto untravelled route, and has reached the end of his journey without having met a man with a grievance. This is a very different state of things from that once prevailing in the Pacific Provirce, and Lord Lansdowne meets with a diff rent re- ception from that accorded te his predeces- sore. Lord Dufferin had a hard time of it. | He found, as the Colonist states, the Pro- vince on the verge of insurrection. The people’s petitions for a fulfilment of the terms under which British Columbia enter- ed the Union had been disregarded; a solemn treaty known as the ‘Carnarvon Terms’ had been ignored, and popular) sentiment was excited to a decree that*im- perilled the existencaof the Confederation. A rebel arch, under which Lord Dufferin’ declined to pass, bore the legend; ‘Carnarvon Terms or Separation,’ and’ deputations that waited upou the dis- tinguished visitor wentthere in a sullen | condition of mind and came away unsatis- | fied and disloyal. Five years Jater Lord Lorne visited the province, but notwith- stonding that the Canadian Pacific was! then well under way, there were still grievances arising partly from the Island! railway matcer and the dispute respecting | the railway lands. Now British Columbians | as a people are without a grievance, and the Colonist is able to exclaim what a wonderful thing to see planted on the shores of the Pacific a people so contented, happy and prosperous that they have no com- plaint to make ora wrong they want re- dressed.

Lord Lansdowne’s visit has certainly been under most favorable auspices. He is the first Governor-General whose privilege it has been to witness the practical completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, to make the journey from Ottawa to Victoria entirely on Canadian soil, and to receive the cordial welcome of a people who now, for the first time, feel that in spirit, as well as in name, they form part of the great Canadian confederation.

A Schoolmaster Fined.

Mail.)

The ‘‘ codgers’’ who have infested the neighborhood of the Hayes schooi were immensely pleased to-day when Justice White fined Principal H. Alden Merriman for striking Eddie Daveney, one of his pupils, a 9-year old lad.

Willie Paterson, 14 years of aye, said that he was io the room when Mr, Merri- man struck Eddie. He had been sweeping out with George Daveney. He and George were in one window and Eddie in another. He saw Eddie falidown on the platform. He heard Mr. Merriman ask Eddie after he struck him if he had not called bim some names. The witness had heard a boy on the other side of the street call names after Mr. Merriman, but not Eddie. George Daveney, a brother 15 years of age, gave similar testimony, and said he ran home to his father and told him. Daveney also testified.

Mr. Merriman, in defence, acknowledged slapping the boy, but claimed he had done nothing more than he was justified in duing to maintain discipline in the school. He had witnesses to prove that Eddie Daveney was the boy who called him names, and both the boy who called him names and both Eddie and his brother were trouble- some boys. He had had to suspend the elder brother, and the father had given him a written permission to chastise him.

Justice White said that the regu‘ations of the school board did not permit corporal punishment, and even though the names

(Chicago

had been called, which he did not think it 'was proven they had been, by the boy |Eddie, suspension would have been the ,proper thing. He thought an assault had been committed, and would fine Mr. Merri- ; man, $3.

New DEPARTURE IN FISHING.—A Glou: cester, Mass., despatch of the 26th, says - |The British schooner A. B. Parker, of Tasket, Nova Scotia, arrived to-day from Georges Bank with 30,000 pounds of cod- fish. This is a new departure in pro- vincial fishing, and the first provincial vessel ever to arrive at this port with ficeh from Georges or to engage in that branch of the fisheries. Although they have to pay a

tariff of a half cent per pend it does not appear to put an embarge on the British vessels coming here to market their fish,

Praying for Clemency A PETITION TO THE GOVERNMEN! LOUIS RIEL AND HIS COMRADES

FROM

An Ottawa despatch of the 29th inat., ways: “The Government has received a petition signed by Louis Riel and twenty- four half-breed prisoners. The petition sets forth that the Metis were early cc'»- nizers of the courtry; that in time their lands were invaded by specalators and

office-seekers who traced upon them ; that they ca'led on their miseion- aries to sil them, and sent them

to Ottawa with petition after petition

to the government, but that the only

answer was an increase of garrisons; that, arouscd by threats and the action of Crozier,

they rose in arms, preferring death to dis- hover; they were beaten in fight and then their bomes were pillaged and consumed

and terrible outrages committed on them.

|‘However,’ continues the petition, ‘the

Government has given us one consclation by consenting to grant to the reat of our

compatriots that which they had up till then

persistently refused. Our blood,our liberty,

paid for the acknowledgement of our rights.

In the midst of our trouble we learn with happiness that the Government has settled 2,500 claims, representing a value of nearly

$400,000.” The petition then pro- ceeds to pray for clemeney, saying that the settlement of their claims

shows that the rebellion was justifiable. The petition coveludes: ‘‘ We are poor children of the prairie, obscure, unknown, without influence, without education; but our conscience persuades us that it is not justice to crush the fallen and to tolerate with impunity criminals who have tortured us, ended our sufferings with the blows of their guns, pillaged our farms, demolished our houses, and despoiled and outraged our women and children. This spectacle should revolt all just minds in Canada.”

The Grand Trunk Company.

THR RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURE. At the general annual meeting of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, the ac- counts submitted for the half year ending June 30, 1885, showed the grors receipis to be £1,423,857, against £1,612,348 in 1884. The working expenses were 76.60 per cent. of the total receipis, against 73.06 in 1884, leaving the net rece'pts of £333,120 against £454,318, last year. The total net revenne balanc» is £357,991, which is £48, 307 short of the sum necessary for pay- ing the preference interest and charges, including the interest on debentures stock, the renis of leased liner, interest on bonds and interest on sub- sidiary lines. The working expenses showed a decrease of £87,293 as compared with 1884, notwithstanding that in the last men- tioned year there was also a decrease of £144,188 as compared with 1882. Jn his address on moving the adoption of the report, Sir Henry Tyler attributed the decrease in the net receipts to the extremely low rates, brought about by suicidal and unneccessary competition. Arrangements had already, he said, been made and orders issued with a view to raising rates, and affecting an amicable division of the traflic. He spoke also of the probability of friendly arrangemeats with the Canadian Pacific Railway being scon consummated. The report was adopted by a unanimous vote.”

The Voyage of the Alert.

Rev. Moses Harvey, writing to the Montreal Gazette on the voyage of the Alert and the results of her observations says: ‘*Last winter had been mildin the straits and bay, and last summer unusually cold. Last year was an unexceptionally bad ycar for ice, being the third bad season of the kind. The summer of 1874, and also of 1885, were very cold. A curious fact was brought to light regarding the variation of the seasons, in reference to ice. Captain Nipkip, an agent for a New England firm, who spent the last eeven years near North Bluff, informed the observer at that station that in two of those years the ice had cleared out of the straits permanently by the 10th of April, and was not seen again. The observers found that the ice in siraite was always moving— rarely statiopary—and that in February there was much open water, A most singular and unexpected result was established by their observations namely that at at Resolution Island the ice comes into the straits and moves westward along the north shore, not out of the straits as was formerly supposed; but it is not known where it goesto. There is acurrent of comparatively warm water running east, out of the straits, on the south side. Thus a problem presenis itself as to the movements of the ice which has yet to be solved. The observations taken at the different stations—tidal, magnetic and meteorological— will prove to be of great value.

An Old Vessel.

There is now loading at Quebec a vessel called the Eliza, which has seen a century and a half of active sercice. She might have been one of the fieet of 100 ships which bore the Massachueetts soldiers to the siege of Lowsbureg, and tradition has it that in the lawless days of the long ocean warfare between France and England, she scoured seas as a privatcer. She was stoutly built, and is still a staunch and handsome craft.
