Batledge, Proprietor. MABKDALE, AUG. 16, 1868 NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" Within a few years. Generals Hancock, Logan, Grant, McClelian and Sheridan baye passed awaj, and Gen. Sherman is now the only great .war leader -of the Union cause left alive. Quite a number cf the famous Confederate generals are still alive. Atter the war the Confederate gen- •erals became simple farmers or rail* way men, while the northern leaders had fame to support and remained in the whirl of public bfe. Manitoba. Standard Correspondence, kug 7 Haying is the order of the day on the prairie. It is a good crop this year and costs only the expense of cut- ting. The meadows are around sloughs and the eirass sometimes more than three feet high, This prairie hay resembles wild-grass and is ex- cellent feed. It is the only hay for all, attempts to grow clover and timothy have failed so far. The wheat is about two weeks later than last year, but if safely harvested will be the best crop ever grown in the west. In some places the grain is so heavy that the farmers have had to recall previous orders for twine and secure double the quantity at first ordered. Emigrants have been coming in steadily all spring and summer and yet the country does not seem to be more thickly populated than before. Visitors from the east are often heard to say "you have too much land. It can never be all settled." But we manitobans are not lacking in hope and look ever for close settlements. Faitii in the brilliant future of our pro- vince is the distinguished characteris- tic of the people. It is rarely anyone is heard to complain â€" not even a frog can be found to croak. As may be expected there are difficulties to be faced but those who are not afraid to work are sure to succeed. Many who came to the country a few years ago poor are now in good circumstances. Crop reports from all parts of the pro- vince are most favorable and when we eompare this with the state of affaars in Ontario it is wonderful that we should be contented It is hoped that the R. K. V. road will be built to help carry out the new crop, we also look forwa,rd to getting (in the near future) connection with Liverpoo) by the Hudson Bay route. Moee A.non. Flemerton. Standard Correspondence. Sorry to part.â€" The Eev. A Wilson of the Presbyterian church here after a pastorate of over nine years preach- ed his farewell sermon on Sabbath last to one of the largest con- gregations ever assembled in the I'res- byterian church here. Every pew was packed and evary available foot of standing room was occupied by eager listeners to the rev. speaker's last pul- pit utterances as pastor here. Many were moved to tears. The Presby- terian congregation here regret loos- ing their beloved pastor who has gone in and out amongst them tor so many years. Mr. Wilson's induction into his new charge takes place on Tues- dBy, Aug. 21st, in the chaicb in Charleston. The Flesherton and Priceville base ball teams played a friendly game of ball here on Saturday last. Priceville having a crack team and our boys be- ing only a few days organized the victory was oii the side of the visiting team. A short time's practice will put the team here in better irim for a return match. WiwmoN, Aug. 8.â€" rhe toum^ ment ot the 82nd Battalion Btnd held liere to-day -was a splendid sucoess.

P. for East Northumberland, died here last night after an illness of a few days. ' Diiaffe (150,000. A big smash-up occurred about 7:80 yesterday morning at Ellerby's Mills, on the Northern .three miles north of Newmarket, and about a mile south of Holland Landing. The accident was caused by two freights colhding on a single track, but the responsibility for the disaster has yet to be fixed. An investigation will be held immediately, at which all the train hands and the despatchers will have to tell what they know to Local Superintendent Wragge. The trains were in charge of Con- ductors Lewis and Haskett respective- ly, and the damage to rolling sto'ik and freight is estimated at $50,000. Both locomotives have been put past further usefulness, fifteen freight cars have been reduced to kindling wood, and about twenty others are more or less damaged. The accident blocked passenger travel until late in the afternoon, when the line was cleared and the debris removed. None of the train hands were injured, the men having time to jump before the two trains met. It is the heaviest loss the Northern has sustained for years. Bi^ Tall Wheat Crop in the West. ' London, Aug. 10. â€" The Advertiser to-day says As far as Western On- tario is concerned, the general harvest is well advanced, and a great deal of the fall wheat crop has already been threshed. In view of the gloomy fore- bodings of the spring the yield appears to be unusually abundant and the quality of the grain excellent. A turn- out of 80 or 85 bushels per acre of good marketable grain, as has been reported, means well-filled graineries and well-lined pockets for the farmers should the price stiffen up. Generally speaking the prospects indicate a lively trade for London and vicinity this fall. Orasshopers In the East. Ottawa, Aug. 12.â€" A genuine grass- hopper plague has struck several parts in tne counties of Russell and Carletoo. They are ravaging the crops to a terrible state. A farmer from Gatin- eau Point says that out of an expect- ed 700 bushels crop of wheat he will have only about 100. Drowned In a Ciatexn. Mt. Forest, Aug 11. â€" This evening Denis, the youngest child of Eugene Murphy, was drowned in a cistern be- longing to P. McCuUoch. It appears that Murphy's people had taken a board off the fence between the two yards in order to obtain water. The -T^-a.

An incident in the career of Sir. Edward Bradford, the newly appoint- j ed Political Secretary at the Indian OflSce deserves to be recorded as show- ing the character of a man â€" one of the ablest but most modest of soldiers who ever drew sword. As a young efficer, doing duty with a Madras cavahr regiment, Sir Edward was a keen sportsmen. One day when tiger shooting, he "missed his mark," and soon found himself in a tiger's clutches It was an anxious moment, few of his friends being at hand, As a sportsman of experience Su: Edward Imew well that his best course was to lie quietly and sham death.
