Hon. D. Wallace and D. Graham
accompanied the remains of N. II. Muir
ney from Drayton to toilette in behalf OF
the Masonic Lodge and came on to this
city and remained between trains. This
office acknowledges pleasant call from
both the gentlemen and learned good
deal of interest pertaining to the late
session of the legislature. Mr.. Wallace
states that his son Lewis who is soldier
ing at Manila is getting better slowly, but
by reason of rupture will not be fit for
duty again, and Mr.. Wallace expects that
he will be discharged and sent home
soon, if not already on the way. The
other son Charles is in good health.
AS an illustration of one OF the many
ways in which the farmer may increase
the value of his product, the following
may be cited: Alexander Smith had a
thousand bushels of wheat, for which he
was offered forty cents, with five pounds
dockage. He thought he could do better
than that, SO he ran the whole thousand
bushels through tanning mill. He took
out little over two hundred bushels of
oats, for which the dockage was charged
and sold the oats for more money per
pound than the wheat was worth, and got
for the wheat when screened over fifty
cents per bushel. The incident contains
its own application.-Park River Gazette.
St. Patrick's day this morning, and no
country has more reason to observe the
day of its patron saint with pride and
pleasure than the Green Isle of Erin.
Notwithstanding the limited area of the
island, and its comparative small popula-
ton, the Irish race has made itself his
tory of which any Irishman may be
proud. Its influence, its heroes, its men
of genius, are common to many nations
and perhaps more than to Ireland itself,
but still distinctively Irish. England and
America both have reason to be proud
of the Irishmen who in battle under the
Union Jack and Old Glory have proved
themselves heroes, and in craftsmanship
been men of brains and genius
