Our Beer.
The u, s. Consul at Port Sarnia, In a
report to the Department o! State, says
that the farmers OF the great barley
producing district Of Canada are much
disappointed at the color of the grain Of
the present years barley crop, which is
very dark. This color Is accounted for
by the wetness OF the season. AS beer
Invariably partakes OF the color OF the
malt from which it is made, bright
amber color adds much to the value OF
the grain.
1t is expected, therefore, that the dark
color will materially interfere with the
sales of the present crops. In other re.
spects the crop Is considered satlstac'
tory, tor, although the average was not
80 large as that of the previous year, the
yield Is excellent, and an average har-
vest is anticipated.
The total exports OF barley and rye to
the United States during the year end
ing June &c. 1875 was 5,4l3,844 bushels Of
barley and $3.50, ,34I bushels of rye. For
he year 1876 these exports amounted 80
10, 164 DOL bushels Of barley and I. 426, o27
bushels OF rye, an increase Of twice the
amount in quantity, but a great falling
IF in the price per bushel. Almost the
entire exports OF barley and rye are to
the United States, only q 603 bushels
going to all other countries during The
year 1875.
Fears are entertained that the tenn.
perance movement In the United States
will have depressing effect on The
brewers ana through these, to whom all
the Canadian exports OF barley and rye
ests OF Canada.
| The Border Troubles.
In the Cabinet meeting yesterday the
greater portion OF the time was dev otod
to discussion Of the Mexican border
troubles. The Secretary of State pre-
santed a lengthy communication from
Gov. Hubbard, of Texas, in which the
events connected with the border for a
long time past were reviewed, including
the raid made by parties from Mexico
on the Jail at Rio Grande City, and the
efforts of the State authorities to have
the perpetrators OF this outrage extra
ldited.
The Governor takes the ground
that on account OF the hostility or the
Mexican population bordering on the
Rio Grande TO any specific measures to
stop the troubles, that the Government
OF President Dlaz is incapable Of pre-
serving peace on the border, and urges
that more efficient measures on the par
of our Government be taken to protect
the lives and property of the citizens o
Texas. The question was thorough.
discussed by The Cabinet, but no decls
ion was reached as to the future actiol
Of this Government in the premises
The subject will be again brought up a
the Cabinet meeting on Friday.

The English Mission.
1t seems that there has been a secre
the appointment OF Ex-senator Cameron
Of Pennsylvania, to the English Mission
1t is understood, however, that thi
effort has failed, and that, in conse
quence OF the failure OF the R9publica
leaders of Pennsylvania to agree upon
suitable candidate, the position vii
livery likely be given to the state OF NeS
York.
