Ing the retail price. A case in point
On a contract which the Agent had
with a Northern house, a brother
bought a pair of boots at a cost of 81 25
Ii go happened that a merchant in the
brothers community was selling shoes
of the same make, and this pair of
boots he sold for 81 90. The brother
chlded the merchant somewhat for his
high prices, whereupon the merchant
Immediately demanded of the manu-
facturer that the Alliance contract be
Cancelled, and 1t WdS done. Our State
Agent met with frequent rebuffs of
this kind.
Now the prices: Sewing machines
for which you formerly paid $45 to $55,
are now delivered at your nearest rail
road station at from $14 SO to $40 so;
buggies, formerly $50 t. SIS, now $33
to SIS; cook stoves, SIS to $50, now
80 so to $12 so; all the standard plows
at least % per cent. cheaper than for
merly; one horse farm wagons now
$24; standard high grade fertilizer, for
which you formerly paid $40 per ton,
now $21 so, etc.
The second consideration of this last
element, patronage, Is deserving of
more space than is permitted in this
letter. If the business feature of the
Alliance Is so important as to make it
the great power for good, a fortress of
protection, the right arm of the ALI
ance," is it then no worthy of all the
support you ear give it? And if the
interest you take in the Alliance, as is
assumed above, Is indicated by the
amount of patronage you give to the
Agency, what say you about your ar
dor for the cause2 To be sure it has
received enough of your consideration
to render 1t fairly successful, for with
out your patronage the business would
eas instantly. But the volume of
business instead of being a half million
dollars a year might just rs easily be
five millions for the same time and the
patrons of the Age ICY be correspond
ingly benefited. TIE greater the vol
uma of business, the more desirable Is
the Alliance trade, and hence the more
advantageOuSly is the Agent able to
contract. Besides, is not a failure to
patrOnize the Agency to your full
ability just a little suicidal? Suppose
you should withdraw your patronage
altogether, what would become of
prices you pay for goods9 Is it not
reasonable to suppose that they would
Immediately tend upward? Two forces,
the lively competition in trade which
the Alliance has Occasioned, and the
present financial depression, would
perhaps restrain them for awhile. But
the former would be lost sight of when
iT was discovered that the great regu
latOr had ceased to operate, and the
latter, we trust. will soon be overcome
by wise legislation. When the legisla
ton comes. farmers should be in a po-
sition to reap their share of ITS advan-
tages. To the extent that you fail to
pa ronize the Agency to that extent
will you pay for your neglect in high
prices.
Beside all this, the Agency is a crea-
ture of the Alliance. is YOUR CHILD, and
demands your SUI ppOrt. T. IvEY.

About 7.30 o'clock last night the inhabi.
tants Of the popular district known as
Bellevllle, IN St MIchael's parish, about one
mile from the City, were startled by the
cry of fire and a few minutes after the
whole neighbourhood was ablaze with light.
and people were running in all directions to
the scene of the conhagration An untenanted
house called Ne0ington, the property of one
MIS- Ashby. Being a wooden tenement, the
hre took complete possession Of it in a very
snort time, and before the Fire Brigade could
arrive It was almost destroyed. All they sue
ceeded IN saving was part Of one Of the side
galleries. A smart shower had fallen about
halt-hour before; and to- that circumstance
as Weil as to the fact that little or no wind was
blowing, the escape of other houses in the
vicinity Is to be attributed. As it was. how.
ever the residence of Mr. Watkins, which
was nearest to the burning building, was in
imminent danger; and but for the e|xertion Of
himself and some of his neighbours, notably
Mr.J. w. Croney Of the firm of Citizens and
Cfoney, IN pouring water on the roof, it would
IN all probability have been also destroyed.
NeUington was insured for 94O0 in the
Lancashire Fire Insurance Co.. the policy
having been taken out only nineteen days
before; and but one opinion prevails IA
to the origin of the fire. That opinion
IS that it was deliberately set. Iadeed.
II the reports which have reached us be-
correct. for some time past the idea had
heeh pretty generally entertained in the
nelghbourhood that an attempt would be made
70 burn the place. Consequently, few persons
were surprised when the fire broke out. Never
theiess, as may be imagined, it gave rise to
considerable alarm, which.the somewhat tardv
arrival of the Fire Brigade did not tend to
lessen. Looking to all the circumstances I'M
der which the fire occurred, it is to be hoped
that a mot rigid and searching inquiry
will be instituted by the authorities before

That troublesome question about ~

would increase; if duties of SO per cent.

The Funeral Was po.tuoncn.

AS an example of unrcwarded &C.
centric thrift an anecdote told to
the Journal OF Saturday is worth re-
cording, though it does touch upon
funereal joking. Some forty years
ago a Massachusetts good wife Law i'm
her bed apparently dying with con-
sumption. AS the family lived four
miles from the undertaken and
pastor, and as the roads were badly
blocked with snow, the husband,
when called to the village on business
ON Tuesday, decided ~ thoughtful
man!-to save a journey in that Bit
ter weather by engaging the minister
and undertaken at once, and appoint
ing the funeral for Friday. In some
way Wednesday the sick woman heard
OF this. and, arousing herself from
her. supposed dying condition, de-
clared: @Therell be no funeral in this
house this week." The funeral was
postponed. Friday it took place
forty years after it was originally set.

is of the widest and grandest de-
scription. Lofty peaks, laden with
snow, rising abruptly, n seen, and
again chains of glacier lakes, streams
dashing down from beetling bluffs,
made the picture. Glorious views
suddenly open over masses of rock
like a sea frozen magically into stone
or gray and ashy plains.
The glaciers, which move irresist-
ibly down the mountain, are the
makers Of the passes. Grinding their
curse on, they yea away a path
which man uses for his own needs.
All who have occasion to cross the
mountains, even the animals, have
to use these passes, since on account
of the height any other way would be
impracticable. Bears and wild sheep
in their Journeys employ the same
passes az do men. Here and there,
in the midst Of the passes, vegetation
flourishes l%uxuriantly, with the wild
rose, aster and poppy. Delicate ferns
bloom about the rocks and, with
groups of most fragrant flowers, COM
bine somewhat to relieve the too
great severity of the mountains.
