LAST spring two plausible sharpers, representing themselves as the Super- intendent and Secretary of a grain and seed company of Rochester. New York. made their appearance in the northern part of that. state. They told the farmers that they had a very rare species ofoats. which they would sell to the farmers at fifteen dollars a bushel. giving them bonds that they would buy a quantity of this precious grain from them for seed purposes at the same high price in the autumn. Several farmers in the vicinity of Macedon fell into the trap. Thev bought the oats giving their notes of hand in payment. The schemers before they left that part of the country sold the farmer's notes for what they could get {or them. After harvest the confiding farmers shipped the stipulated quantity of cats to the address given their: by the sharpers, expecting to get the very handsome price set down for it in the bond. The expected remittances of course never came, and the farmers have been obliged to pay their notes of hand as they became due. It is said that these scoundrels are now in Canada trying probably to guii the farmers of these northern parts in the same way. Butl that trick has been tried once too often | in Canada. and these grain sharpens can hardly hope to succeed in any part of” the Dominion. The New York farmâ€". era who fell into the trap so clumsily set for them are described as “ promin-- cut and intelligent man,” In regard to the franking privilege,the usual complaints are made. There are always complaints of this at the beginâ€" ning of the session, everybody being de~ sirous of making the most of free postage. One instance has just been made known ofa collector of accounts who had his donning letters mailed to his debtors through the Common post oflioe. A debtor who receives a letter clothed in all the importance ofa House of Commons envelope, with the member's initials in the corner, is apt to be sadly deceived and disappointed when he discovers that it is only a bill from his tailor or shoe- maker or some other party to whom he is indebted. This is something like the members who used to frank their washâ€" ing home and have it rejuvenated and returned at. the expense of the nation. We have read carefully over the terms of the treaty on the Fishery question and have also read the opinions of some of the most prominent gentlemen of the Maritime Provinces, and have arrived at the conclusion that the best has been done that could, and it is a satisfaction that this vexed question has been settled for a term of‘years. We own, however, to a disappointment that the Pacific part of the question has not apparently been touched upon by the Commissioners, which will and does cause dissatisfaction in British Columâ€" bia. No doubt, Sir Charles Tupper can show good cause for this. Certainly, however, the right to fish in the Behring Sea must come to an issue sooner or later, and the sooner the better for all parties concerned. may be round on file at Geo P.

They pull down in their ruin foolish depositors who were lured by promises of high interest to entrust their savings to these institutions. Financial gain cannot result from usurers who offer higher interest for money than profits in honest business justify. People adâ€" vancing money on insufiicient security to private bankers who are disguised‘ loan agents will not admit that risks and high rates‘go together. They are learn- ing this truth from the failures that are bringing disaster to those who sacrificed security for two per cent. more on their deposits.
