We have before us Vick’a Floral Guide for 1888. kindly presented by Mr. Jarnea Vick, the well known seedsmun. of Rochester, N. Y. The volume has 140 pages and contains some beautiful Illustrations of their flowurs and plants. Those who plant their seeds year after year can best speak of their qual- ity. It is of the utmost importance that every farmer or aardner who buys seeds should know that tney come from a. reliable firm, as disappointment is often met with by purchasing inferior stock. \v'e havl handled Vick's goods for the past three years and can testify that they haVe giVeu excellent satis- faction. We believe the firm handles noth- ing but the highest grades. Never buy a lot of seeds because they are said to be cheap. It is better to have success with a few than failure with many. We will be glad to lend our Guide to any person interested. TO LET. PERSONALS. Vick's Floral uuidc Fatal Stabbing Mass Meeting.

Everywhere throughout the Dominion the increased rate f0 discount and the scarcity of money are causing the over-gorged and plethoric manufac- turers to “clamor aloud for clemency.” Great firms are to- day almost tottering into bankruptcy. Wealthy mill-owners and manufacturers are now, for the first time since 1857, “on their knees,” and unless confidence can be restored to the business community and the present apprehension of danger averted, who can tell what dire calamity may befall the country ? While this state of things continues the tremen- dous efficacy of “hard cash,” like the philosopher’s stone of old, is working marvels and prodigies indeed.
