The Small Market.

Better prices are sometimes obtain
ed in the towns and villages than in the
large cities. Tons ofpoultry and eggs
are shipped to the large markets, from
which they are distributed TO smaller
towns, and in some cases the goods re-
turned to the very place from which
they came, through without the
knowledge of the shipper or consignee.
No market is ever fully supplied with
eggs in the first months of the year,

REV, BEN THAYER, -
EVANGELIST
AND
REFORMED CONFIDENCE MAN.

Sir Charles III. Tupper states that in
his opinion Canada has got the best
of the bargain in the Bering Sea arbi-
tration. By the decision at Paris the
killing of seals with firearms or explo-
sives was prohibited during the month
of August, but for some unplained
reason the idea does not appear to
have entered into the minds of those
conducting the American case that an
equally effective means for killing the
seals was to be found in the air-guns,
such as are now used for destroying
whales, spear being driven from the
gun by compressed air. The sealers
of British Columbia are already turn
ing their attention to this means of
evading the regulations laid down by
the commission, and it is generally
conceded that they will suffer no loss
through the substitution of spears for
firearms during the month in which
they are prohibited from using the
latter weapons for killing the seals.

thrn Treasurer of The county, that he
intended abandoning his family. He

Fleming have grown to manhood,
one Of them running a barber shop at
Marion, and the other being in bust
ness at Janesville, Wis. Fleming was
forgotten by everybody until the other
day, when he suddenly appeared in
Somerset, inquiring tor the family he
had so basely deserted. Mrs. Mellon
aid positively declined to see the tru-
ant husband, who hung around the
neighborhood for a day or two and
disappeared again.

Owing to the financial trouble in
which the country is at present in
volved the attempt to complete the
fund for the erection and endowment
of Phillips Brooks House at Harvard
has been deferred, and the committee
will therefore stop soliciting subscrip-
tions for the present. Up to COM
mencement $4,000 of the 100000
needed has been subscribed, and since
then, although no systematic effort has
been made to increase the amount,
many small sums have been sent in
without solicitation. When the finan-
cial strain has relaxed, the work OF
raising the necessary amount will be
resumed. One of the interesting
facts in connection with the move
ment is that the money received has
come principally from men who have
not before contributed to the college.
No appeals have been made to them,
and the gifts have come as purely vol
untary offerings and from no exclusive
quarter. From many parts of the
world men have sent in their share,
often insignificant in amount, but sug-
gestive of the worldwide renown and
love in which the late Bishop was
held. Two contributions have come
from China, and others from Japan,
India, South America and Europe
