THE STOCKING Titamt.—The unusually healthy
state of Use •tooking trade bas caused the old cry to be
raised of onions. Durbin the summer just passed there hes
been *slight advance upon an kinds of hose, and this has
caused delegate meetings to be held In various villages
where the trade Is carried on. On Monday :Est a deput►tion
from Lek ester attended the village of Kthworth, to endeavour
to persuade the hands there to form themselves into a union ;
but we believe the result was attended with no better wow
than it had been before, the meeting separating without
coming to any agreement at all.—Btaraford Mercury,
