Dodds, Wolseley, and found it a veritable '-Noah's Ark" of things iuauimate. He has a large and well aHsorted stock of all sorts of fall goods, hardware of every description, grocer les, pd libitum, boots shoes and'overalls and his stock ot dry goods comprises some of the very finest articles that can be had in any store of our large cities. We were quite surprised at seeing such quality of gloves, silks and all sorts of wearing apparel. '"It is a dangerous place for a young man to go to with "Ms girl," the tempt- atians in the ladies department arc quite iil'esistable. Mr. Dodds buys his stock moBtely from Montreal, and, as he does a business of about $40, 000 a. year," he can offord to buy in Itirge quantities at such a rate as enables him to r^ail at reasonable prices. Mv. Hiram Parker, section ioreman at Wolseley, was unit-ed in the happy bonds of wedlock on Wednesday the 6th November, to Miss Mary Jane Kenny, also of Wolseley. The wed- ding was celebrated on Wednesday evening by the bride, bridegroom and their numerous friends, bj' a "grand hop ' iu the public hall, Wolseley, which was kept up with great glee till well on in the sma' liours, when the company dispei'sed, all hi^jhly pleased with their night's enjoyment, and with emphatic wishes tor the future hap- piness of Mr, and Mrs. Parker. Another wedding iu Wolseley is expected in the course of a few dajs, and it is i umored that there are more to follow. Mr. Q. L. Dodds keeps a large supply of marriage licenses on hand which he is ready to supply at all hours. He expects to have quite a, "boom" iu marriage licenses bofore the advent of tlie new year. The country round Wolseley is not only of a fine character with batiful rich mould capable ofprodnoing any- thing, but tlie district is one of the best settled in the North West. The four townships round Wolseley are almost all taken up and under culti- vation by a very superior class of settlers. The hotel in Wolseley is not only lai^e aud commodious but is run by Mr. W. D. Parley in a very superior style. That Mr. Purley has a large patrouage from the numerous settlers in the district and from visitors' is only to be expected in a house which is so well conducted, which possesses such a genial hospitable obliging laud- lord a£ Mr. P. Tbere were tiiree steam threshers wovkiiig on Friday in the vicinity of Wolseley, each employing about 15 hands. It is a busy place. Sir John^s New Honor.

We would prefer r however, to see no imperial honors accepted by Canadians. â€" World. LoNDon, Nov. 17. â€" The queen has, at Mr. Gladstone's request, conferred upon Sir John Macdonald the grand cross of the order of the bath, iu re- cognition othiseminent|public services. He goes to Sandrmgham to visit the prince of Wales next Saturday. The most %onorable Order of the Bath is said to be originated in the time of the crusades. The ribbon is of crimson, the motto, Tria juncta inun.o, (three joined in one). It is made up of military knights and ciyii knights grand cross, E. G. i3.'s; a second class military kziights and civil knights commanders, K. C.B.'s a third class mihtary and civil com- panions, 0. B.'s. Sir John Mac- donald was in the second class, and he has been raised to the first rank, he is now a K. C. B. Of the civil knights grand cross there are tw^ty- four, the Earl of Dnfferin being the one last created. Of these, eighteen, inclnding Sir John, are membei^ of the privy council and are, mostof tbem, eminent for service to the state. There is no doubt the eonservittive par^ in this county "will be dehghted a£ ^e honor wliich they claim.' is thus «bme their leader, aud the 'Mail, in its eyening edition ofyest^a^, had a double-leaded ariidle full of rqfl^cing. The World's (pinion u okap^^tbis: Wonderful Progress in Horse breeding. IMPOBTAZVT. When you visit or leave New York City, save Baggage Express and Carriage hire and stop at the Grand Union Hotel, oppositi; the Grand Central Depot. Elegant rooms fitted up at a cost of one million dollars, re- duced at $1.00 and upwards per day. European plan, iSlevator, Resturant supplied with the best. Horse cars, stages and clevat ed railroad to all depots. Families can livo better for less money at the Grand Union Hotel than at any other first class hotel iu the city. Thh great demand for large work horses has led to extreme experiments in breeding the small mares of Western rangss to large Percheron stallions. The results contrary to public belief, have proven remarkably successful. From these mares, weighing f rom 700 to 900 ponnds, when bred to im- ported Percheron stallions, are produced horses that possess aboat one-half the nnited weight of sire and dam, and while partaking of the characteristics of the sire, they lose none of the endurance and hardihood of the dam, selling readily for from 9100 to $200. As the vast herds of the long-homed.-gasnt Texas cattle, worth from 2 to 3 cents a pound, that appeared on 4)iir market a few years since, have been improved by the nse of Short-horn aud Hereford mills nntQ we scarcely recognize the bloodlike looking steers, worth from 5 to 6 cents a pound, now coming from the range as their descendants so may we expect that the useless horses that are being brought from the West and Southwest and- sold through the States at from$2.5 to $50 a head, wiU soon be displaced in our markets by their descendants of triple their value being of sufficient size to work, and showing the character and docility of their sires. One of the best evidences of the success of this method of bleeding is deduced from the fact that M." W. Dunham, of Wayne, 111., the greatest importer of Draft horses in Ameiica, and from whose stables have gone out nearly all the pure bred Percheron stallions now in breedinj,' upon Western ranges, and who has had the benefit of the e3s.perience of aH thoso who have been breedmg from stallions bought .of him during the past ten years, has engaged in the business with the Messrs. Studebaker, Of South Bend, Ind and JoJin A. Witter, of Denxer, Col., and invested hali a million dollars in ranges and stock, The present year they are breeding about j 2,000 mares to 32 of the finest imported Percheron stalUons. The uniformity beauty j and s'ze of the colts prodmed from tlie range j mares and imported sires, has attracted the ' attention ol many of the progressive breeders of the Wesl notably the Hon. M. E. Post. Members of Congress, frdm Wyoming, who has one of the finest bands horses, and prob- ably one of the largest and best ranges in that territory, consisting of 100,000 acres under fence, recently purchased. During the past Ml-. Post has bought from Mr. Dunham 15 imported Percheron stallions and two im- ported Percheron mares also, the Oregon Horse and Land Co., located on Snake River and owning 8.000 horses, have boaght of him a large mumber of Percheron stallions, and are introducing them exclusively for breeding on their herd. Many other promi nent stock breeders, recognizing the superior- ity oi the Percheron cross, have been liberal purchasers of Mr. Dunham. Among them Poindesler Orr, Conrad Eohrs, Mr. Clark, Mr. Maulden, Mi. Murphy and others of Montana Shimpman Bros., of Northwest Ty., Mr. Latimer and 2!'McNntt, of Idaho Mr. Dean, of Navada Mr. Cory, Mr. Clark and Mr. Boundy, of Utah Mr. Lot Smith, Mr. Mortison of Arizona Mr. Starkweather and numerous others of Texas which shows what a powerful hold this system of breeding is taken on the minds of range breeders. To snpply his vast trade which penetrates every portion of the country from ttie Atlantic to the Pacific, aud from Manitoba to the Gulf $3,000,000 worth of horses have been im- ported from France since 1872 by M, W. Dunham, of Oaklawn, Farm, Wayne, DuPage Co., m., who now has on hand 500 head of pedigreed stallions and mares. 120 Sodden Death. â€" On Friday last Mr. W. J. Symington received a tek- gram informing him of the sudden death of Mrs. Symington's father, Mr. Archibald. Mr. and Mrs. Symington left on Saturday morning for Fergus to attfnd the funeral. Mr. Archibai'l was station master at Stony Point, and while attending to his duties on Friday morning staggered aud fell to the ground. Friends at once ran to his assistance btit life was extinct. â€" Dundald Herald.
