tho Burning Boat.
NORTH BAY, Ont, Nov. 9.-1he steamer
John Frazer, which burned on Lake Nipis
sing, was on the way from Calender &c
Davidson & Hays lumber yard, at tht
west end of Lake Mir sing. Beside the
crew, which consiste Of Captain Doug
lass and crew of six men, there were Oh
board the steamer some twenty lumber

only seven men escaped.
Following is partial list of those known

A few years ago the Delaware Hedge
Company was formed, and we believed
Mt that time it was good thing. But
for some reason the construction OF
hedges on the plan proposed has not
been widely adopted, and even the
stockholders appear to take little in
terest in the system of planting and
trimming laid down for their guidance.
1t is certain that the old rail fence
must give way In very few years to
some other material for dividing and
enclosing farms in our State. and the
Usage hedge seemed to be admirably
adapted for that purpose. In England
the hedge is used in many counties,
and it appears to have given general
satisfaction.
In our country, however the farm.
ers seem to be less enterprislnR thar
they were years ago, and are trying
to get along by making the cid worn
or post and rail fence answer. II
some instances wire is used, but 1t
does not seem to be popular. In the
lower part OF New Jersey there are
hundreds OF farms without fences aut
few cattle run at large. A great dea
of expense Ia thus avoided, but The
system has its drawbacks. and thu
farmers In this section will be slow t.
adopt 1t. We like the hedges, but |
takes some time for them to grow
costs considerable to keep them in or
der and we suppose these are the rea
sons that more of them are not used
II they grew and ilourished Xix
Jonah's gourd, sprlnglng up and at
taining their size in a night, the,
might come into more general use
We should like to hear the Vows Of
some OF tho farmers in regard to tn
matter. as 1t is very difficult to form q
correct conclusion OF what we kno'
but little about. In concluding we wi
say that parties indebted to tho Della
ware Hedge Company are requisite
to make payment at once to the treas
urer, Geo. W. Bright, No. 7lTh Marke
street. and persons whose hedges hay
not been attended to will please Il
form him Of the same.

1. is really surprising how greatly
which led to the depression OF bust
ness which Is now prevailing in our
country from its centre to its remotest
bounds. According to the opinions
and views of the Democrats. the coin
age of silver dollars and half dollars,
and the paying out OF the same, led &c
the revulsion Of trade. which has been
followed by 80 much idleness and suf'
fering on the part OF so many thou
sand operatives. There are millions
of persons. however. who cannot com
iprehend how the purchase of an ounce
Of silver for 10 cents by the govern
ment. and tho Turning OF the same
into S1.25. could lead to such serious
embarrassment.
If private parties were allowed to Dc
business In that way they would Ger
tainly get rich. 1t must be admitted
however, that this purchase OF silver
enabled a SGT OF croakers to alarm the
people to such an extent as to cause
run on the banks that came
near involving the whole of them il
financial ruin. The depression OF
business antedated this catastrophe.
and 1t will continue for months Il
come, although the purchase OF silver
has been abandoned.
The great mass of Republicans hold
!. that the purchase OF silver did mo-
lead to the depression, but the fear o

1t is through Irritation, which has ad-
vanced to something like a fine art, that
many manageable young folks lose their
chance in life. Filtration destroys conf
dence between the persons who indulge in
it; it prevents the natural growth of mutual
esteem; it is not thing of good faith. 1t
is an error to suppose that lovemaking
and Irritation are identical; they are, in
truth. antithetical. Lovemaking is ten
der and ennobling, while filtration is cruel,
foolish and demeaning The one is the
prelude to welded happiness the other is
inimical to it. Young men and women
