Turner's head after the alleged assault by
McCin, was called, and testified more fully
as to the character of the injuries. He
operated upon the man, but nothing could

homicide was a bOarder in the Crown
household testified that he arrived soon af-
ter the tragedy and helped carry Turner

Climate and Crop Report.
DIES MONIES, MAY I, 10

OES IIOlNES, NA1 I, lSUU.
The average temperature for the
past week was about normal, al
though considerably cooler than
the preceding week. Frosts were
observed on the mornings of the
Sd, 4th and 9Th, at various localities
in the northern and central districts;
and on the morning of the Sd the
minimum temperature at numerous
stations was below 32o, causing the
formation of ice on shallow water in
many places. Though too early to
note all them furious effects of freez-
ing temperature, the general opin-
ion seems to indicate that apples,
plums and cherries suffered but lit
tie damage. Tender vegetation and
small fruit on low ground were
somewhat injured, but the aeore-
gate of damage by freezing will be
quite small.
The week was very favorable for
blowing and other farm work. and
nearly all ground is now in readi-
ness for planting. a fair start has
been made in corn planting, out the
weather was not sufficiently warm
to incite much activity in that line.
Most of the reports mailed on the
9th noted the fact that the soil was
becoming quite dry, and that rain
was needed for the grass and grain
crops, and to facilitate blowing.
The needed moisture was generally
supplied by the copious showers of
Saturday night and Sunday, and
the crop outlook at present is quite
tlatterinG.

TO believe business impossible
is to make it SO. The current coin
of life is plain common sense. He
who depends upon another dimes
Ill and sups worse. A pilot is not
chosen for his riches but his knowl-
edge. If man deceives you once,
shame on him; if he deceives you
twice, shame on you. If you take
the devil into your boat, you must
carry him over the sound. The dog
ways his tail, not for you but for
bread. If you pay beforehand for
anything but your home paper your
work will be poorly done. He is
your friend who speaks well of you
behind your back. The fish is soon
caught that nibbleth at each bait.
The end of fishing is not angling
but catching. If you want your
business done go do it, if you don't
want it done send someone else.
Don't forget to be gentleman
everywhere. Don't complain of the
world; all such complaints are I'M
just. A man of merit is never neg
lected. 1t is your own fault if YOU
fail to succeed.-Exchange.

A CATHEDRAL.

The minister's mystic walls uprear
In times rich hues against the sky;
Fair sentinels that year by year
Have watched slow centuries go by.
Within such perfect calm doth reign
AS by no word may be exprest;
For, though without men war with pain,
Here weary souls awhile may rest;
And, resting, gather strength anew
Mid dim memorials OF the past;
The faith our fathers held holds true
Der diverse ways loves light to cast.
