Gladstone Refuses an EarIdom.

LONDON, June 1.-THE Queen has offered
Mr.. Gladstone an earldom in recognition of
his services to the Queen and the country.
Nh. Gladstone asked that he be allowed to
forego the honor. The Ne,cs in an editorial
ON this subject, rejoices at Mr.. Gladstone's
decision, and says that no title could add
to his fame or enhance the enthused devo-
tion of his countless admirers; besides, his
leadership is required in the coming strug-
gle to secure unity in the Liberal cause.
The Times editorially says Mr.. Gladstone's
refusal to accept an Earldom makes an
appeal to the imaginations of men that will
not remain unanswered.

Cattle Fair

The third of the series Of Cattle
Fairs being held in Morris will be one
week from to day, June oath. A great
deal of interest Is being manifested IN
this approaching market day and we
believe 1t will be more successful even
than the first one in the series which
is saying considerable. Posters and
circulars are being printed and circu-
lated among the people Of the county
and also in outside cities and villages
for the purpose OF attracting buyers
here for that day. Beef cattle and
COWS seem to be in great demand and
farmers will do we'll to bring in all OF
such stock they have for sale. They
should not limit themselves to this
kind of stock, however, as other kinds
of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs will
probably find ready sale and should
be brought in. 1t will also be an adj
vantageous time to sell all kinds Of
farm produce. In fine, 1t Is to be a
general market day, to be devoted to
the sale aud exchange Of all sorts OF
commodities. Remember the date
and he on hand. 1t will be to your
advantage.

There had never been great natloh

now talk with man FROM Cornwall.
The peasant of the Ii urian Appeh-

We owe it to Noah Webster's Spelling
Book and Dictionaries. He has done

books have educated three generations
They are forever multiplying his In
Vulnerable army of thinkers, who Will

death of my esteemed friend "Old

she was born, whether she was ever
married or not or anything of her an
cestory or early history, but I do
know that she was greatly esteemed
by all who knew her. During the
last "a years she has served mankind
in general in a most commendable
way. Through all these years she
has drawn the wheels which carried
your products to the marts of COM
merce. Through fair and stormy
weather, over roads both rough and
smooth she has faithfully toiled and
her death brings sadness to the many
indebted to her and she died without
the prescription of any Canadian
quack. In politics she was a jealous
Republican but she was not partizan
but in every way very tolerant of the
opinions of others. She never gave
way to any momentary excitement
and had no faults either superficial or
otherwise. She seemed to be entirely
free from all the frailties of horsekind
and had no visible short comings.
She appreciated friendship and al
though hard services were often ex-
acted from her and rations doled out
to her very sparingly she never COM
planned or resented any Sights real or
imaginary. The funeral services, l
suppose, took place amid the scenes
of her active life and should have
been largely attended. The following
lines should be incribed upon hel
tomb stone.
