condemn the NON partisan policy Of Mayor Ely III tho

Scotland at Hawick, st. Boswelps, and
Perth. The Messrs. Swan alone disposed of
10000 at St. BoswelPs on Friday, which is
possibly the largest number that has yet been
sold in one day by one firm. On those two
days, and at the three different places, about
100000 we're paid for lambs. almost all for
hogglng. AT Lockerble, on Monday, between
6,O0O and 1000 lambs were sold. The sales
were well attended, and if last years prices
were not IN every case made, it was not the
times but The quality of the animals that was
to blame. On the whole, however, the
prices of 1876 have been fairly well sustained
which is all that breeders could have expected.
While the quality compared favorably with
that of last year, so also did the prices. The
lamb markets must be regarded as good,

Once more the year its fulness pours
10 cheer the heart of toll;
Once more we take with gratitude
The blessing of the soil.
hear the children laugh and sing
They pull the grapes together;
And gladness breathes from everything
In this October weather.
The wintry days were long and dark.
The spring was slow to come:
And summer storms brought fear and doubt
To many a humble home,
But ram and sunshine had their will
And wrought their work together
And seel we heap our baskets still,
In this October weather.
My heart has had its winter. too,
And lain full bare and gray;
! did not think spring would come,
Much less a summer day.
How little did dream that life
Would bring us Two together,
And I should be happy wife
In this October weather.
Doubtless the frosts will come again,
And some sweet hopes must die;
But we shall bear the passing pain,
And smile as well as sigh; -
Nor let us cloud with fears fill
This golden hour together;
For God is in His garden still
In this October weather.
