Bossauah Shep- herd ab^ut one year ago which caused her death. The parties liyed near Fiesherton, aud an inquest was held by Dr. Chnstoe, and the prisoner com- mitted for trial. The stomach of the deceased was sent to Dr. Ellis, of Toronto, when it was found that it contained strychnine. The prisoner on being arraigned, and in reply to the question "are you Guilty or not Guilty," answered in a firm voice "Not Guilty." The Crown Council, A. Frost, Esq., addressed the Jury, briefly giving a history of the murder. The evidence was circumstantial and went to show that the prisoner had strychnine in hts trunk, which he had brought from the United States, and that ne was heard to say, while8ta.nd- lug by the bead- side oi his dead wife "Poor Bossy, it was me caused this," etc. The prisone^ had also insured the deceased's life some time previous for $4,000. After heariug thp evi- dence the council for the defence, Mr. MassoD, addressed the Jury at length, and was followed by Mr. Frost for the crown, who clearly presented the facts in a short aud concise speech^ The Judge in summing up the case eharg- ed strongly against the prisoner, aft6r which the Jury retired and were absent about half an hoar when they return- ed into court, rendering a yerdiot of "Guilty" with recommendation to mercy. The Judge then addressed the prisoner asking him if he had any thing to say why tiie sentenee of the the Court should not be pronounced upon him. The prisoner ^owly arose to his feet, and addressed the court at considerable length, protesting his in- nocence. He S£ad that one of the witnesses Aron Teeter swore falsly. He also denied the Btatenxent of Mrs. Leppard, her daughter and daughter- in-law. He said that he l^ad been wrongly dealt with by th^ people and the press. Bob Lordship before passing sent- enoe said he entirely agreed with the verdict of the Jury. He said the pri- soner had but a short time to prepare to meet his Maker ,^ and advised him to m^e the best of his time, as he could not hold o«t any hope of a re- prieve. His Lprdship then ptooeeded to pass the sentence as tollows â€" The sentence of this Court is that you CookTeet, be taken from the placs from whence you caine. and that you there remain until the 6tb ' day of Deoember next, when yon are to be taken to the plaoe of execution, and there lumged by the neck till you are dead, and may the Lord have mercy on your soul.

Washington, Nov. 12.â€" The Nov- ember returns to the Department of Agricultural state that owing to the long continued drought, the indicated yield of cotton per acre is lower in nearly every State than the average.. The lowest yield are in Florida, Geor- gia, Albama. and Texas. Indications however, point to a crop somewhat larger than that of 1888, gathered in unusually fine condition. The corn yield exceeds 1,800,000,000 bushels, an average rate of 26 bushels per acre. The best yield is in what has been des- ignated the "G reat American Desert."" The eleven arid region in the vicinity at the one hundredth meridian hava- produced heavy crops of maize of higli. quality. That line of longitude has ceased to be an absolute barrier to corn production or general farming. The New England State averages neatly 33 bushels. New York, 30 Pennsylvania, 31 per acre. The- quality of (iora is belter than in 1888, nearly everywhere, and in the north- ern belt it is worth 25 to 75 per cent, more. Th© potato crop is nearlv an average yield or ninety bushels per acre, and exceeds 190,000,000 bushels The value of domestic breadstuff ex- ported during October is $11,541,000. Hanlan and Beacii. Mrs, Hanlan has just received a letter from Ned giving an account of his race witli Bfach and the way which it wa lost. He states that the wonder was not that he lost the race phut that ho was not killed. Beach I cut fairly across his boat, aud Hanlan ;says that only a tremondns pull with the right oar,, which partially strained hin wrist, savod him from being run down» As it was his boat became fairly water loggedv aud it was only' ScooNs.. â€" The pris- ' with great difficulty that he could keep afloat long enough to cross the line. Even then, he say»v he believes he would have won had he not been for- ced about a quarter of a mile out o£' his course from one cause and auotli- Bnddick of Boston has just shipped two new boatb to Hanlan. They were packed in waddiug and then enclosed in wooden cases aud shipped to Lon^ don. Mr. Whit«foot of the Sports- man will there tranship them to the- AustralioD^liue of steamers, and they will reach ^o autipotes aboutJanuary 1. Hanlan will pot probably row another race until the new boats reach him. The sheila are of the same pat- tern as Lhose he has been using lately and cost $125 eadi. â€" Neias^ lOLontUy Fairs.

The great majority of those who came to us for farms want them in 8cott Act counties. The demand is especially great for farms in Oxford, Haltou, Huron "{and Norfolk. There is ono man wh3 came from the States antv purchased a farm in Haltou because the act was in force there. Another man bought a tarm there, and was so pleased he induced a relative to do likewise. £ven anti-temperance men prefer to locate in these counties. The farftters in Haltou say that busi- ness is much better now. As a proof of this there are three new Btores ui the town of Milton. The store keep- ers say that they are n^^w doing a fitio cash business.
