KocB, > Mr. Havemeyer, a recently deceased millionaire New Yorker, has spent a fortune on his farm of 2,700 acres in New Jersey. It is of special interest to sanitarians that his registered herd of Jersey.cows, about five hundred in number, contracted tuberculosis, and many of them had to be slaughtered: They were so foreed by feeding, toâ€" gether ~with confinement in stables, that their average yield of milk was 6,450 pounds per year. The average of ordinary dairies is about 3,000 pounds. His cows wore simply machâ€" jnes for making milk, When the disâ€" ease broke out he built a hospital, a nursery, a silage storehouse, and did a bundred other things that made farâ€" mers wonder. Ia order to prevent & recurrence of the tuberculosis scare he also began crossing his delicate, sensiâ€" tive Jerseys with some hardy Norman cattle. Stock bresders all over the country laughed at him, but the experâ€" iment so far points to success in restorâ€" ing health to his herd.. The farm is to be zold and the experiment discontinâ€" ued. This is jast as well, for the sys tem carried on there is, in our opinion, contrary to the natural laws of sgriculâ€" ture which would produce healthy eattle and healthy vegetables rathor than diseased ones. â€" ‘Journal of Hygiene. § o â€" The annual meeting of the above Company was held in the village Hail, Haysville, on Monday, at 2 o‘clock p.m. Mr. Josiah Hallman was appointed chairman and Mr. C.

No doubt many of the aged pioneers will remembeor the firsb hotel in Preston, a log house near the business corner known as "Ocean House." It was conâ€" ducted by Wui. Anclemeyer, with Moses Weaver as bar clerk, who later on opened the Red Lion at Dundas. From 1800 to 1810 most of the busiâ€" ness was conducted by barter, Dundas being the nearest feeding post. After the money that the pioneers brought with them was spent, it was so scarce that a blind man, it was said, would receive his sight on getting a silver coin. Brass buttons passed for copper coin. & ‘‘ My attention has been drawn to certain printed note books called ‘‘New School Helps," advertised for use in the Public Schools of the Province. The injurious effec‘s of such ‘"Helps" in the proper study and teaching of the school curriculum must be apparent to every wellâ€"trained teacher. It has been the settled policy of the Educaâ€" tional Department to insist that no books, except those on the authorized list, can be used as text books in the school, and the use of the ‘"New School Helps" or other "Summaries," instead of the authorized text books, is a clear violation of the proâ€" visions of the Statute and the Regulations. You are hereby instructed to make immediâ€" ate enquiry, regarding the use of the *‘Helps" above referred to, or other "‘Notes" or "Summaries" which may be substituted for the text books, and to withhold the Grants in all cases where the law is vioâ€" lated. e Earmers teamed their surplus proâ€" ducts to Dundas and took a receipt for ib until navigation opened, then a part of ib had to be traded out in store goods. The teaming had to be done in winter as the Beverly swamp was imâ€" paseable in summer. In summeor it was one mudhole five miles long. Few can realize the hardships those old settlers had to endure in these days. There was one consolationâ€"deer were plentiful. Wolves were so numerous that the Government offered a bonus for their destruction. We remember the monster wolf trap and the dead fall on the old homestead. These early pioncers endured untold hardships but they were always in good cheer, and a characteristic of backâ€" woods life was a readiness to help their fellows at barn raisings and the merry ‘"Heeoâ€"hee, noch a mol, ihr Deutsher, hee oâ€"hee," I can still hear ringing in my ears. |___ The followingâ€"circulars speak for themselves : s Circular to Public School Inspectors We have heard it related time and again that about 1808 a man undertooak to pass through the Beverly swamp in summer on horseback.

Toronto, Jan. 31. â€"Recent heavy ‘ghipments of Canadian pork to Britain have had their effect, and Old Country firms are beginning to withdraw their orders from the United States. The representative of a big Livorpool imâ€" porting house has been in Toronto durâ€" ‘ing the past week endeavoring to make arrangements with the local packers to supply them with smoked meats, etc. This firm imports about a thousand boxes of over four hundred pounds, cr about two hundred tons, of theso mea‘s weekly from United States firms, but they are anxious to place the order with Canadian packers. § _ The following board of directors were elected for 1898, viz. : J.

I have the honâ€"r to be, Yours truly, Gro. W. Ross, Minister of Education, On the Wing. D. B. McKay. Sec‘y.â€"Treas. Yours truly, Tromas PEARCE, County Inspector. The ending of this grave affair, was in one particular sense a great relief to the people, who have be: n almost daily from the moment the terrible crime was committed until the last aco, furâ€" nished with about every trifling incidâ€" ent in the prison career of the conâ€" demued young man. Frequently inâ€" telligent remarks put forth in public print as coming from the lips of ths prisoner seemed almost incredible to people of ordinary common sense when they were confronted with the stern fact that ho was a person intellectually incapable of such productions, being a youth of a depraved mind and entirely devoid of the simplest rudiments of a common school education. I am inâ€" clined to think that the kird and accommodating officials of the jail somewhat overstepped the bounds of propricty in permitting energetic reâ€" porters to have too free access to the murderer‘s cell. However, these desâ€" crepancies can be everlooked in this case as it was the first instance in the history of the Waterloo County jiil that a murderer awaiting execution was confined therein. They are also to a certain extent to be exonerated for any oversight tor the extraordinarily humane manner in which the execution was conducted.. My long newspaper career on the other side of the border, and as a reporter on leading dailies, has frequently brought me in contact with such gruesome events, but I must candidly admit that not in all my exâ€" perience have I witnessed an execution in which such great cire was exercised in robbing the affair of its ghastliness as that which occurred last Eriday morning. It seemed that every detail was looked afterâ€" by the officials to bring this about, and that they sucâ€" ceeded most admirably will be admitâ€" ted by every newspaper man present. HIS LAST NIGHT, . â€" According to all asccounts Allison passed bis last night upon earth with calm indifference as to the morning when bis soul would be launched into eternity. During the lonely hours of the death watch he slept soundly, after bis spiritual adviser, Rev. Atkinâ€" son, had left him, which was about 10 o‘clock. Some time about midnight he awoke and remarked to Otbto Sastâ€" meier, the deathâ€"watch, "I am hungry; can you get me something to eat ?" His request was granted, and after partaking heartily of the food given bim he again retired and slepb until six o‘clock without any apparent signs of restlessness. , He thin partook heartily of a breakfast consisting of epgs, toast and coffee. _ Before seven o‘clock most of those who had permits to witness the execuâ€" tion were on hand, eager to get inside. The piercing cold atmosphere of the early morning, was somewhat over:â€" looked by those present on account of the gravity of the occasion. High constable Klippert, who represented Sheriff M. Springer, (the latter being indisposed by a severe cold) and deputy Cytus Moyer guarded the doors of the jail kitchen through which the priviâ€" leged spectators would first bo permitâ€" ted to enter in gaining access to the jail yard. Mr. Klippert showed conâ€" sideration for the newspaper men by announcing that they would be allowed to enter first, & The Boy Murderer, Allison, Atones for tho Death of Mrs. Orr Paid the Penalty Friday, Feb. 4th, 1898, was a red letter day in the anzrals of Waterloo county‘s criminal history. I6 was the final winding up of the last chapter in the celebrated Orr murder case, in which James Alfred A!lison, the boy murderer, rendered up his own life that the law of the land might be vindicatâ€" ed and to atone for the life of Mrs. Emma Orr, which he so deliberate‘y wiped outb on the morning of August 9th, 1897. aterlioo Count The latter room was a small apartâ€" ment in which the spectators were rather uncomfortably crowded . for about ten or fifteen minutes, awaiting admission to the jail yard and the viâ€" cinity of the small stone woodshed in which the grim death apparatus had been #~ostructed a day or two previous. Osce in the jul yard the crowd had room for expansion, and, despite the wierd and solemn aspect of the occaâ€" sion an occasional joke would be inâ€" dulged in by members of the newspaper fraternity, â€" At about four or five minutes to eight o‘clock, Radeliffe,the executioner, entered the cell of the condemned man and with a strap bound the prisoner‘s arms to his sides. During this ordeal the latter did not utter a word but calmly followed his executioner into the corridor, where the solemn death march to the scaffold was formed. Mr. Alfred Boomer, J. P., of Linwood, and jailer Cook headed the solemn procesâ€" sion, followed by Dr. Webb, coroner, Dr. Bowlby, the ja l mu geon, Rev. Atkinson and Otbto GaÂ¥)meier, the death watch. < As they entered the jail yard, the sp ctators formed a lane, a d with unâ€" covered heads watched the approach of the doomed youth. _ While it appeared to some who were evidently worked up to a pitch of excitement over the sad spectacle, that Allison did not show symptoms of faltering, to the more coolâ€"headed and experienced he gave evidence of nervousness and deep conâ€" cerp. â€" As to the smile on his countenâ€" ance, referred to by some, the writer failed to notice anything of the kind. When the procession was marching to the seaffold, Rev. Atkinson slowly and solemnly uttered the following words : "Have mercy upon me, 0 God, acâ€" cording to thy loving kindness, wccordâ€" ing to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions," The last minute of Allison‘slife was With His Life. while he stcod upco the deadly trap‘ and Rideliffe drew the b‘ack cap over h‘s head and placed tke fatal njo<e around his neck, the knot being under the lefo ear. Just before the bolt was drawn thab ushered his soul into eternâ€" ity, Rev, Atkirsn began to pray : °O, Almighty God, we bumbly pray thee to receive the soul of this, uns of thy children, for whom thy Sonm â€"". It wes but a second after the last syllable was uttered and the head of Allison, which could only be seen by a fow who were fortunate enough to have a plice mnear the wood shed door, shot out of sight,and save a heavyâ€"like thud, rothâ€" ing further occurred to indicate that the executioner had not made a clean and successful job. > § The church of the Holy Saviour, Waterloo, was, on the Second Sunday after the Epiphany, opened for Diving service by the Lord Bishop of Huron, His Lordihip was celebrant at the midâ€"day celebration and preached both morning and evening, his subj>ct being the Epiphanies of our Lord, and "Beâ€" hold, I stand at the door and knock." At the children‘s service at 3.30 he spoke on David‘s victory over Goliatb, as a typs ofChrist‘s victory over Satan. The Rov. Carl S. Smith, M. A., rector of St; John‘s. Berlin, and St. Siviour‘s, whose efforts have so largely contributâ€" ed to the building of the church, was celebrant at 8 a. m., and assisted at the other ‘services. The attendance was exceedingly good, particularly at evenâ€"song, when great numbers were unable to secure even standing. room. A pleasing feature was the goodâ€"will shown by other \Christian people ia town, Lutherans, ltoman Uatholics, Methodists, etc., attending in goodly numbers, and the Rev. Mr. McNair, (Presbyterian), giving up his evening service in order to be present. The collections exceeded $125. _ The choir, augmented by members of the St. John‘s choir, sang well under the leadâ€" ership of Mr. Webbe, Miss Crasett beâ€" ing organist, The church is built of white brick, and has a total length of T2 feeb, the nave being 26, and the choir being 20 feet wide ; i6 will easily seat two hundred. The furniture and heating, and electric lighting are exâ€" cellent. The altar is the gift of the Rev. Prof, Steen, who three years ago commenced regular services here, the communion plate that of a lady in the congregation, the pulpit of J. B. Snjder, Waterloo. ‘The architect is Mr. Eden Smith, the contractor, Mr. Goodman, koth of Toronto ; and the whole cost, including site, is about $3,300. The interior of the church, with the floral decorations of the choir and fanctuary, presented a striking and beautiful appearance. ‘The Bishop expressed the hope that he may soon have the satisfaction of coensecrating St, Siviour‘s, and the congregation, though small, is very united, will work zealously to that end. Tho women‘ of the congregation have already contriâ€" buted largely, to the huildicg fund, and have undertaken to pay the interâ€" est on the debt, So zeslous have all been that it would be invidious to mention any specially.

Pigs wore there in plenty, between two and three hundred being offered, but there was a very noticeâ€" able dearth of buyers, and many farmers were compelled to take their pigs home aga‘n at the close of the market. _ Owing to the expected drop in pork, buyers seemed very indifferent, and consequently most of the pigs sold went at low figures. A few of the pigs were sold as follows :â€"a lob of 6 pigs, five months old for $30.00 ; 2 pig , three months old for $7.25; 6 pigs, three months old, for $18.00 ; 7 pigs, 5 weeks old for $11.00; 13 pigs, two. months old, for $27.00 ; 10 pigs, (fine stock) four weeks old, at $2.00 a piece.

A man who suffers from a weak stomach and an impaited digestion will sit and grumble through the best meal ever prepared. A bilious man who is fiot a bore, is deserving of a place in a museum. A netrvous man who is not petulent and faultâ€"finding is a curiosity. All these conâ€" ditions leag to grave diseases, when the victim becomes not only disagreeable, but dependent as well. A wise wife will realâ€" ize that while the old saying that a "man‘s heart is in his stomach," is not literally true, it is a fact that his stomach sweetens or sours his character according as it is healthy or unhealthy. . Dr. Pierce‘s Golden Medical Discovery is the best of medicines for the conditions described.. It makes the weak stomach strong, the impaired digestion perfect, invigorates the liver, purifies and enriches the blood and tomes the nerves. It tears down halfâ€"dead, inert tissues and replaces them with the firm muscular tissues of health. It builds new and healthy nerve fibres and brain cells. It dissipates nervousuess and melancholy and‘imparts mental elasticity and courage. It is the best of all known medicines for nervous disorders.

It isn‘t much trouble "_ 4s for a really healthy man to be good. humored. Jollity and exhuberant health are a proâ€" verbial combination.
