Ioetead of reaping equal be‘e titi with the manufacturer from the ta- d, we tiud him barely able to make both eu- s meet, and gradually being drawn towards the prosperous city and swallowed up. That ia the tendency. Mr. Wallace adver tised for a farm recently in Western l’enu sylvAD'a, and the farmers literally tum bled over each other to aoll at almost ary price.
