OBEY ORDERs-The burial grounds at Al

Produce for ireland.

The accounts by the Canada 5 mail on Sat
urday, confirm the advces preyiousi y received
in regard to the suffering in many parts OF
Ireland, from scarcity OF the neccssarics OF
life In some districts the authorities had in
tcrtered, and, with the aid Of other benevolent
persons, had removed the young people OF
both sexes, giving them temporary employ
ment in England until the return OF another
crop should obviatc all danger OF famine
The Government returns give the deficiency
in the principal Irish crops for the year 1889.
ut 2IS. 900 quarters OF wheat, i65,OOO quar-
ters of oats, lOS,O0O quarters OF barley, 5G3,
900 tons of potatoes, 9O3 900 tons Of turnips,
and $4,000 tons OF hay. The current sea-
son is very backward and unpromlsing, in
some places not sing lie green blade OF grass
having appeared at the latest dates. In
view of these facts, it is not too much to eX-
pect liberal demand for our produce. The
difficulty in feeding the people OF Ireland
when their crops fail, is found In the want
of those supplies which are especially ADAPTED
to that market In the great scarcity OF lSi0-l
known as the Irish famine, there were yari-
Gus efforts made to induce the sufferers to
substitute Indian corn for their deficient po-
tato corp, but the people did not ia ke very
kindly to this article of breadStutfS, even
when it was given to them. 1t will be seen
that the great items of deficiency noticed
above, are oats potatoes, and turnips. The
last are largely fed to cattle. Oats are com
paratively plenty here, and we notice that
shipments are BOW going forward from this
country. About 100000 bushels were pur-

SUICIDE OF McDoNALD.--At2 O'Clock this
afternoon, the District Attorney received III
formation that Mcdonald, the alleged muir
derer of Virginia Stewart, had poisoned
himself. The information proved to be true.
1t is impossible to learn at present where
Mcdonald procured the poison. Ills trial,
on the charge Of murder, was set down Tor
this week in the Oyer and Tcrmlner. 1t APP
pears that shortly after II o'clock this after
noon, the attention Of Dr. Coval, Physician
to the City Prison, and his assistant, DR.. Sim
mons, was called to Mcdonald, who was re-
ported to be lying in state OF partial lnScn-
sibility in his cell The doctors at once Went
to the cell and there found Mcdonald, sure
enough. unable to speak, and evidently Ia
boring under the effects of some narcotic
poison. Tie was Immediately removed to the
hospital cell by the doctors, who showercd
him, applied the stomach-pump, and used
all other means in their power to restore him
TO consciousness, but without avail. Before
Mcdonald was taken from his CELL an emp
ty vial, labelled "McMunn's Elixir" was
found on the floor, and it is believed that
the wrctched man had swallowed the con-
tents. This elixir is said by the medical gen
tlemen to be four times stronger than lauda-
mum. According to rumors alloat, it is be-
lievel that Mcdonald for L long time past
contemplated committing suicide, as some
four weeks ago Mr.. Charles Snttin. the War
den, found two sharp knives in his posses
ion, and took them from him. How the pris-
oner obtained these weapons, or by what
means the poison was struggled into his cell,
as yet remains mystery N. !, Express.

In an article in the last number of the
Edinburg Review, on the commercial rela-
tons between England and France, and gen.
orally in favor of free trade, the policy OF
removing the duties on the light and cheap
wines of France and Spain, is strongly ad-
vocated. 1t is stated that the annual growth
of wine in Europe and the Azores is COM
puted to amount to l,S7G,990,00o gallons,
and France alone produces more than half
the quantity-that much of this wine is
good III quality--and that it could be sold II
the duties were off, at Il shilling a bottle IN
London, and then yield to the merchant more
than 100 per cent. profit. Many. OF the
wines of Spain are really excellent-and
in some parts of that noble but misgoverned
country, wine is actually more abundant than
water. The Reviewer does not speak OF the
fancy wines, the supply of which cannot
DC increased, and which must always COM
mand high prce-buto Of the common wines
of France, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Sici-
", and the countries along the Rhine, which
are cheap and good, and which ought to be
used instead of alcoholic drinks. In 100
good rlarct was common in Scotland at
eighteen pence bottle; and in the High
lands, fifty years before, the roadside inns
always kept on tap, respectable Bordeaux
Now whiskey is used in its place. 1t IS not
in countries where wine is cheapest and
most abundant, that there is most drunken
ness. The igh price Of wines in England
aud IN this country, have led to the odious
and vicious habit Of adulterating them with
brandy: for as W inc came to be Il costly article
to be drunk in very small quantities, it was
thought desirable to convey into it the greatest
amount of alcohol. We have always believed
that the encouragement Of the growth OF
the vine, and the manufacture of wine would
benefit the cause of temperance, as well as
tend to produce health and comfort among
the people generally. Tie whole subject is
worthy the attention Of all philanthroplsts
tits not LonSworth's high priced and imlta-
ton Champagne wines that we are talking
about: but such wines for the people, pure
and cheap, us will make the laboring man,
