In general terms, il is recommended in all

SICK OF THEIR BARGAIN.

Royal Exchange, London fe6. 8, 1910.
Aspcca general meeting Of the pro-
prietors in the British American Land
Company, was held at the London Tay-
srn, this afternoon, G. r. Robinson, Esq.
the Governor, in the chair. A very voiu-
minons correspondence between the CON-
pany and the colonial Office, was read 10
the meeting, from which it appears that
unless the Government grants the con-
eessions the company required, the Di-
.eciors are ready TO offer the land they
have acquired in The Eastern Townships
OF Lower Canada 10 the crown on such
terms as might mutually be agreed upon.
The proposition OF the company on this
subject was read, but Lord John Russell
wishes TO refer the matter 10 Mr.. p. Thorn
son, --and the whole matter, therefore,
stands over for the present. The proprie-
tors, not without Just cause, complained
of the delay that has already taken place,
in bringing this negotiation to close.
The Chairman said the delay was entirely
occasioned by the frequent changes that
had taken place in the Colonial Depart
nent.-Noi less than six Ministers hav-
ing occupied the Port folio Of the Colo
MES, since the negotiation was commea-
ced. The Report of the Court OF Direc-
tors was agreed to, and the proprietors
arc to be convened when the Government
communicate their determination on the
suhjeet.-LoIdon Paper.

a sound state Of health through the efficacy of DR..
Hunts's Botanic Pills, thinks it an indispensable
duty TO state certain facts relative to the disease
under which he had SO long suffered The SYM
toms were--a painful obstruction, with a constant
rejection of food, headache, palpitaton of the
heart, lowness Of spirits, troublesome dry cough,
dizziness, tightness at the chest and difficulty OF
breathing, almost constant pain In the side, Ions,
and shoulders, accompanied with much anguor &
debility. These Affections, together with an I'M
usual degree of hatuIence, brought on such state
ofextreme weakness, as to prevent HIM from at
tending to his business, and his health appeared
lost beyond recovery His friends and relatives
became alarmed at the melancholy prospect, and
strongly recommended Hunts Botanic PiIls-they
were administered, and in few days produced
astonishing relief, and finally realized. perfect
storation to sound health,

FILES OF NEWSPAPERS.

Read the following on this matter, from
the Troy Mail -
"There are few who deem il worth
while to keep lie Of their newspapers.
These who subscribe for them most liber-
ally, rarely preserve them. This is wrong.
If a newspaper is worth taking. it is GER
tainly worth preserving. A complete file
Of newspaper is far more valuable at the
end OF the year than the money it costs.
Newspapers are transcripts Of the times /;
not always entirely faithful or accurate in
allfrespects, yet even in their fictitious COL
orings and party attributes, they furnish
matter of interest for future speculation
and reference. As years pass away, these
files will continually enhance in value.
What would the Oldest inhabitants of our
city now give for file Of newspapers pub
lished 60 or 10 years ago? What more in
terestiDg legacy can those now living be-
queaih to their children, or grandchildren,
than file Of newspapers at the present
time Admit that much contained in
newspapers is trash still that trash is a
part OF human life Deduct from existence
its triiies and frvolity-how little, how
very little is left. Every Family ought
TO Keep file Of their newspapers. As
children grow up they will become inter-
ested in examining them ;--and the fund
of general information thus acquired,
will be by no means uncomfortable The
pains necessary TO preserve them, if atten-
ded to weekly, would be trifling."
