FARMERS THANKFUL FoE THE RAIN. -
The rainfall Of the past two weeks has had
much desired effect throughout the sur
rounding country, and the springs and
creeks that had almost entirely dried up
during tho long. continued drought have
been revived. The rain came too late, how.
ever, TO save the crops and, consequently,
to have any effect upon the prices Of vege-
tables. The potato and turnip crops were

In the prospect Of fall in prices, but
while housckeepers may set their minds TO

will at least have the comforting assurance
that there is no probability of further
increase. Although the rains did not come

Death or Thos, Carlyle.

London, Feb. 6.-Thomas Carlyle
died at haif-past eight O'Clock this
morning. From Eve O'Clock last even
ing until death. Carlyle was uneon.
~scious, respiring oxtremly feeble, and
the hearts action barely peTceptible.
He suffered none in the last thirty-six
hours. His niece was with him to the
last. 1t is understood that Carlyle will
be buried in the church yard Of his
birth place, Ecclefechan, Drumfrier-
shire.
Thomas Carlyle was born in 1895, in
the parish of Middlebie. Scotland. He
was the eldest son of a small farmer.
and his parents gave him that richest
OF all endowments, a liberal education.
At school and in college he was eontin-
ually searching the libraries for the
highest thoughts, and dwelt upon the
results OF the scholarship Of his age
rather than delay to study the steps by
which the learned who proceeded him
had reached their conclusions. He
early entered the walks Of literature, al
a book writer and a contributor TO the
leading periodicals. His style was alb
rupt and fragmentary; inconsecutiys
and elusive; but his mind dealt in The
grandest ideas, and his terse and cpl
grammatic style forced his teaching
upon the attention of mankind. HI
was always fresh-never feeble. HI
turned the thoughts of men out Of old
channels into new; and If not always {
safe leader, was at least a brilliant ant
courageous one.
