E. Whitman. From the reports read, there is abundant evidence that this Association is rapidly increasing in usefulness. The workers are | indefatigable, and set a worthy example of zeal and energy in a good cause. There was one suggestion in the report which we should like to see laid hold of. The growing necessity for a home for women, who have been offend- ers, and who on coming out of jail wish to lead a different life. These are often obliged to go back to their former evil habits, as no helping hand is stretched out to them, and no one will take them in. The report will shortly be published and will speak for itself. _ > Tie proposed new fish Market is to be situated on the foct of Pownal Street, be- tween Pownal and Lord’s Wharves. The building is to be set on piles and will be al- together above water. It will be one story high, with pitched roof. The ventilation will be through the roof. There will be two large eatrances‘and two small ones, Inside there will be about thirty-five tables or com- partments, arranged along the sides and down the centre. These are to be zinced over 80 as to be watertight, and there will bea tube evding from each for the supplying of water cleansing purposes. This water will be lied from an elevated tank. The build- shted and provided with the , ing will be well necessary outhouses, and in winter can be | as a storehouse for city propeity. As mm as the contract has been let the work i be commenced. will be seen on reference to our adver- columns the Cornwall Cheese Factory s offered for sale. It would bea great pity if an enterprise of tuis kind, an enter prise whi is specially adapted to the interests of the untry, should be allowed to collapse for want of support from farmers. In Ontarlo and Quebec, most of the factorios are owned and operated by farmers so that they all parti- cipate in the profits which would otherwise be divided with the factorymen. The factories are managed by a committee with a secretary, who keeps the acceunts and sells the cheese under the lirection of the committee; the proceeds being divided among the patrons ac- cording to the quantity of milk supplied. What is there to prevent our farmers adopting the same plan? It is not the want of means, because the majority of them are well-to-do. All it wants is enterprise and co-operation. ! vuld not be said that the farmers in this [sland cannot keep pace with the times. On- tario farmers are growing rich manufacturing cheese under the factory system ; Quebec is following suit as fast as possible, aided by the local government, and this , Province should not be behind her sister provinces in this in- Grits at Loggerheads. Orrawa, March 23. The local Grits here are in arms against each other, because Mr. Coffey has been appointed by the Mowat government Regis- trar for Carlecon County, instead of Mr. Walier. ; The Pictou Strike. Hactrax, March 24. The strike of the Pictou coal miners still continues, and is proving as disastrous to the miners as to the owners and consuming public. Dropped Dead. Havirax, March 23.

We understand that there will be an enter- tainment, consisting of readings and music, in St. Peter’s Schoolroom, on Easter Tuesday, April 12th. The King of the Tonga Islands has closed the Wesleyan college at Tongo, and in con- sequence of his hostility the Wesleyans are leaving his dominions and going to the Fiji Islands.

Mr. bowsers friends consider that he has been unfairly dealt with and are indulging in some ta!! talk. Sein Moruers shouldn't be too exacting toward their unmarried daughters. When a girl is 29 years old and wants to move the piano in another corner of the room it 1s very exasper- ating to answer her: *‘When you have a house of your own you can do as - please. It makes her too willing to take up with any kind of a match. —_——.. Povurey need lime with their food. The common food alone will not furnish lime enough for a full supply of eggs. — In a state of natare a hen would lay a single litter of eggs, hatch them, rear the chicks, and then give up business for the season. The ordinary food would supply this small demand, But when a hen lays 120 eggs she will want as much lime in a month as she would naturally get in} a year. This excess must be supplied. Crushed bone and oyster shells are the best, and should always be kept with the reach ot the hens. [tis not advisable to give egg- shells unless they are broken up very fine, otherwise the hens may learn to break and eat eggs. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.| EXAMINER, - - - is Trade Reviving ? gives a summary of interviews with pro- minent business and railway men in Great Britain, The conclusion reached is that there are signs of a distinct revival. ‘‘No boom is expected, but prices will rise and profits increase.” The railway manager give me most favorable reports. ‘The ship owners are gloomy. The Board of Trade returns indicate thus far a larger volume of trade done in 1886. The only unfavorable feature in this direction is the decrease in the re-export trade, showing that Great Britain does not handle as much transit freight as formerly and that varivus coun- tries interchange direct more than formerly.
