Settling Up. â€" The season of the year when all accounts should be set- tled, and how desirable it is that each and all make a determined effort to that end, true there are very many who are unable to pay all their ac- counts in full, yet there are none who may not have their affairs put m a shape so they will know how tbey stand and thus save the unpleasant duty, wben pay day does arrive, of going over many years accounts with a view to a final settlement.

He got a friend from Port Elgin to purchase some harness, previously marking the money. Afterwards missing some of it, he had May arrested, and fifty I cents of the marked money was found I on him. He was brought before the Police Magistrate on Wednesday, but as Mr. Griffith did not care to push matters, was admitted to bail to appear for sentence if called on. â€" O. t!. Timt*. All of our readers who arcinterested m farm rQatter#of any kind are asked to read on another pa^e the announce- ment of ihe leading American country journal, the Bubal New-Yorker. It is the first to have established an Experi ment Farm the first to originate and distribute rare and new kinds of seeds and plants free among its subscribers. It has probably done more to create tbe present interest in experiment stations and an improved agriculture than all the rent put together. It is original from beginning to end. It presented over 600 original illustra- tions yearly of fruits, cattle, grains, house plans, etc., and combines in practice the true interests of tbe farm, garden, and household with tne editor- ial labor of a rural journal. Its pres- ent Free Seed Distribution comprises eight kinds of seeds, most of which are not offered for sale. These, according to the prices which seedsmen charge for novelties, are worth more than tiie yearly subscription price of the paper. It IS a weekly of sixteen pages, ptint- ed on fine paper. It has over 600 contributors, among them, the must distinguished agricultural writers of America, Canada, an 1 England. Our readers can lose nothing by sending for free specimens to the Rural New Yorker, 34 Park Row, New York. They will be cheerfully and promptly forwarded. LIGHT! LIGHT!!
