PREsc6TT, June 5, 1875.

DEAR SIR You letter of June 4th, containing statement of a collection made by Mrs. C. A. Luke and Miss Kate Kerr (now Mrs. J. N. Nc. Candess), by subscription, somtime more than Q year past, of moneys received, disbursed and the amount on hand, is before me and has been duly considered.
 Being myself conversaut with the object and intention of the subscription, and now, since re. ceiving your letter, have consulted with other parties that did interest themselves iu the matter referred to in your letter. 1 believe you have done right in refusing the money-the balance on hand-to Mr. Colquette at this day, as it can safe. Iy be said the children of Mrs. Brown (uow Mrs. CoQuettc), not so destitute as to be unable to attend school for the want of proper clothing. The children of Mrs. Brown were, at the time, fully relieved, and it would not be in accordance with the spirit of benevolence to ask and far less to give to any one not in need. It would have been proper and perhaps best for the treasurer of the school dirtrict to receive the money so rendered by you, as the trustees would then be able to distribute the same among children in actual need.
 To relieve you of any further responsibility, and care of the money on hand, you are hereby directed and and authorized 10 pay the amount over to the village treasurer who will reseipt to you for the same.
 Enclosed please find order for treasurer to re- ceceive and how to place the same.
 1 am, sir, respectfully yours,
 c. A. LUXE, Mayor.

Advices received in London from the
country districts OF England to this date rep
resent that Notwithstanding the favorable
prospects during he season for sowing and
The encoumgem MT given by the early
growth, the late incessant rains have caused
almost iIreparable damage to the crops
throughout the kingdom.
SHARP ADVANCE IN TIE PRICE OF WHEAT
The entire advance in wheat has been
eight shillings per quarter since the recent
excitement respecting the cror movement
from America and elsewhere set in.
WILL IT 60 HIGHER?
In respect TO any further advance much
will depend upon the steadiness and sound
Judgment OF the operators.
NOT LIKTLY TO FALL.
1t is regarded, however, as improbable that
oven favorable weather will operate to pro-
iuce any considerable decline.
che AGRICULTURAL REPORT FROM HUNGARY.
Advices from Hungary report considerable
damage in the fields without advance in
price there until the London market becomes
improved
LOSSES IN SOUTH RUSSIA.
In South Russia there has been more dam
age from drought than from wet which will,
however, limit the Odessa shipments.
THE PROSPECT IN FRANCE.
In France, besides the floods, the harvest
Is later than last year and not so good.
AMERICAN CEREALS IN ACTIVE DEMAND.
There is sharp demand for and large
trade in all classes of American wheat, -four,
maize and barley at higher figures, with
large orders already waiting communication,
only small proportion having yet gone for
ward, principally now on French account.
LARGE ORDERS STILL LIKELY TO 60 OUT.
Large orders will go out if, upon inquiry
from France, business is animated, but the
weather being better operators are in many
cases, desirous to secure profits
