The Oxford Tribut e, with this number, enters upon it* fourth year of publication. For the prosperity which wo have enjoyed we ore extremely thankful to our numerous phtrons. We ask them for a continuance of their favors a renewal of their efforts to increase opr circulation, which is now larger than that of any other paper publish­ ed in the South Riding of Oxford. Hon. George Brown appeared before the Court of Queen's Bench on Friday and Saturday to justify the publication of an article that appeared in the Toronto Globe, of July Sth, and to show cause why ho should not be punished for contempt of Court in accordance with tho application of Mr. Wilkinson. Tho great length of Mr. BrowriT1fp{lavit and speech makes it im­ possible to give them in oar column?. At the s.loio the chief justice desired to consul his colleague and judgment was reserved till December 29th. Education Act, and if tho same objects are to bo accomplished we wjll give him our credentials as beiug the best fitted man to accomplish tho object. In tho halting ad. dress which he delivered bore there could be detected by those who won not hie po­ litical worshippers an insidious and under­ lying current of argument in favor of doing away with tho present school section sys­ tem and substituting in its stead the estab­ lishment of township boards, and had the resolution favoring thia move carried, (but wo are glad to say it did not) he would have gone hon^e vzith Ids hands strength­ ened, and prepared his new Education Bill which if passed would have provided for the appointment of ono at least if not five additional government officials for each township—the License Act give them tonr for each county, why should they not im­ prove en that. These an* litttle things on which (ha doctors of this Riding should study and ponder before the next election even if they are propounded by one whose “ ability to judge of the talents and quali­ fications necessary for the discharge of such duties must bo very near if not below zero.” Perhaps if our opponents were to deal with the matter at issue muro,and make less ado about the capabilities of the writer, they would be more worthy of attention. A CoRJiESFOXnEXT of the Halifax Chron­ icle says: I hereby in all sincerity afid good faith .and in orger to test the truth of my views of Sunday labor, offer tho sum of one hundred dollars fur Scripture proof sufficient to convict the Dominion Government of tbo sin of Sabbath breaking because they run Sunday trains; in other words I will pay one hundred dollars for Scripture proof that Sunday labor is contrary to any Divine command, provide the law of tho land al­ lows it. A sad calamity hos befallen Brooklyn in tho loss of upwards of 870 lives by a fire in tho Brooklyn theatre. Similar calami­ ties occur a( intervals, each appearing to outstrip the past ones in the wanton des­ truction of human lives. Year after year wo hear the hackneyed term repeated, “ Surely this ought to bo a lesson," and year after year bereaved families know to to their cost that the lesson has not been learned. One bright spec, however, glim- mere in the horizon, this time a lesson really has been taught; the telegraph brings ns news from Scotland that Glasgow, ow­ ing to tho Brooklyn calamity, has already taken the initiative and her theatres arc all to be so altered as to precluded the pos­ sibility of a similar calamity occurring in that city, tho question that comes most vividly io our mind is why should not every city, (own and village that possess buildings where assemblies meet, no matter for whs t purpose, do likewise. Take our Town Hall for instance, supposing a fire to emanate from tho most likely part of the Hall, the main eu trance, could tbo Hall, if crowded, be cleared in tinn to save all at Use only other exit, a door barely large enough to pass twe at a time I No it could not, even granted that the occupants wet® as cool and collected os if there wero noth­ ing to fear ; wo doubt very much even if tho stronger half of the audience would be saved. Now then it the limo for our guar- dians to provide another suitable exit from the Hall, and let not tho severe warning just received be lost, the responsibility is great, tho cost would In little (even if this wore necessary to bo taken into considera­ tion) and the alteration is absolutely ueces- ._____________- dooed from 90 oente to 7b cants. ixony Flannel for 25 cento, worthy tbu attention of all, as they are offered at very bll, examine and eoanpore prices, I. COYNE A QQ. IM HEAVER REAPER! CHEAPER! Thk “ Bad Grach with which we have been accused for our remarks *nent the Minister of Educatipn’a lecture recently delivered in tl;o Town HaU^^fngersoll, is participated in by so'many^*^ were uu- fortunata enough to b® prcBeuffthat wo feel coDstrajrftifl, more for thoir sakes than for our own, to taka up the cudgel in rebuttal of the accusation. We acknowledge that “ common courtesy ” is due to a Minister, but it requires very uncommon courtesy to show even • wmhlMce of appreciation of the labored efforts of the Minister of Edu­ cation on thte occasion. Even many of his most earnest political supporters were go much disappointed that they did not remain to hear the lecture out, and whan we know for a positive fact, that some of “ those un­ der whose invitation he kindly consented to visit the town," were os much disappoint­ ed as we wm, we think we should be der­ elict iu our duty as public joornalista were we not to give our own impressions of the “ talents aai qualifications" of * public functionary as exemplified iu a public ad- drew, repicialty when those impressions are borne out by foffiy tworthirdv of tlioso *lto ware present, we know bow to res. poet tbo office (A a Minister of the Crown, but whes tbo individual who fills that office »»)*« such U show of himself M our mem­ ber did on that oenason we do not feol that U is abralutely necessary to bestow the ’• comtata coa^eey " to ths person which Ute sSec should c. minamb "fro all to- Tub Dunkis} Act will be Bubmited to (ho vote of th® people of tbo County of Ox­ ford on the 17th of February. While we might wish to see the evils of intemperance abated and tho sale of liquor restricted or abolished, yet wo cannot consistently favor the passage of this law. It was never placed on the statute book except as a sub­ terfuge, and from its incompleteness it has remained there as a dead letter since its passage in 1861. Mr. Crooks' Bill of last year did not bestow ths advantages which were expected of it, and now to[go back to this most unjust and incomplete abortion of a bill as a dernier rettori looks as if its ad­ vocates were willing to put up with any­ thing having the appearance of prohibition regardless of its real utility or advisability. The provisions of this bill do not prohibit the sale of liquor, except in small quanti­ ties, and although it may in a measure pre­ vent tippling habits in bar-rooms, yet it will not pt event the same vice which may bo indulged in privately to an unlimited ex­ tent—people can buy liquor by tbo dozen bottles or in five gallon lota if they choose, and while this is the case w® cannot under­ stand how the ovils thftt axis® from the uso of liquor are to ba ameliorated. There is one thing very certain, and that is that while we are restricting tho traffic iu liquor in this particular county by prohibiting the sale of it by retail wo shall bo damaging other bronchos of business very materially. W« have no guarantee that tbo counties which currouud Oxford will pass the Bill, and as long as they remain without it a portion of tho trade which finds its way in­ to the business centres of tho County will be diverted to othor towns and cities. This drawing off of business, even in a small de­ gree, will make a marked difference In our trade.and tho remaining porlipn will be very apt to follow, ns it is an axiom in busi­ ness matters that tho people will follow the crowd. As we in Ingersoll are situated, in this respect tl^o passage of tho Bill will bo very disastrous to us. Again, as on a pre­ vious occasion we have shown, a groat portion onr taxes goes to pay interest on debentures. These taxes will ’have to bo collected still—they will not bo lessoned by tho passago of this ^ct—but its passage will materially lessen tho resources from which we collect these (axes. Oqr share of tho licenses this year amounts to 81,800, On our present assessment wo should re­ quire an additional ta\ of nearly two mills on tbo dollar to raise Hint sum, if the hotels did not pay it. But,if this Dunkin Bill passes, bote] properly would be materially dopteiated in value, and as this property rates very high at the present time, it may easily bo supposed that it, would require fully five mills on the dollar to moke up tho deficiency which we should loose if this source of revenue were cut off. Wo ac­ knowledge this to bo a mercenary view of tho question, and it wili no doubt be object­ ed to by tho moralist on that ground, but m wo have failed to discover where the ad­ vantages, in a moral puii;t of view pre to accrue, we feel that as no such advance­ ment is to bo gained by the passage of tho Bill we should be foolish to throw up ilia pecuniary advantage which we have for the sake of testing a vague and shadowy some­ thing which promises nothing. We shall now, no doubt, ha set down ae tho cham­ pions of the liquor traffic. If wo are to be considered ouch because of our opposition to the Dunkin Act, a measure which in our opinion will do little or nothing in the way of curtailing the, evils of intemperance, but which must have a very disastrous ef­ fect upon every one in budnoea as well qs inoreasing our taxation, then wo are willing to bear whatever stigma which may attach to us for such advocacy. When the rp0*2*- ure was first prqpcwed iu this county and ft was promised that Oxford was to form me of a group ot tfoe Counties adj^utng each other in which the Bill was to be pass­ ed, we gave onr rilent consent to ft, but now that we are to be isolated in the mat­ ter, ft Msnme* a very different aspect and wo cannot remain t-ttoul whlla our opfatona iws so diametrically opposed to Ite passage under the present rinraresUmoss. •adily understand why th* witej-mcn who manipulated tho affair, engratiated them­ selves into his favor, because he was Seen, tary of the Dairymen’s Association, aa his name would cany weight where theirs would not. Mr. Hcgler, no doubt ia the honesty of his heart and with a trust worilti- neu for which we admin him,looked only at the motive of the meeting which was made most prominent, and fell in with it at once,. little thinking that behind it w « a t . laid scheme in Wrlch he would be the last man to be a participant. With this con­ viction we can, in a measure, excuse him when he calls our artiole a “despicable and contemptible attack," although it is lan­ guage somewhat more ungentlemanly than we should have expected from such a source, but we can hardly excuse him when he says that “ we would have been as wel­ come a participant as any ^present, and had he seen us iu timejwe should hkve been in­ vited to attend.” In the first place, be­ cause we can hardly understand bow it was that we could not be seen in time to be invited, and secondly, os Mr. Hcgler was not appointed Secretary till after the meeting was held what authority would he have had to extend the (nvitation ? How much bettor would it have been if this had been constituted a preliminary meeting and proper invitations sent'out for a second and more general meeting, at which all Inter­ ested could have been invited ? But, no, that would not suit “ the firm.” They wanted it to be blazoned forth that they were the great movers in this most worthy object. They—who are tl;ey ? Throe out ol the five movers of the resolutions are qot oven members of tbo Dairymen’s As? sociation. (Vide last report.) Wo deny being ruilty of mixing politics in this mat­ ter, and had it not been already mixed into it in such an underhand way we should not have had tho trouble of bringing it to tho surface. Had we not taken upon ourselves this duty, the object would, in a great mea­ sure, have been frustrated os not more than ono-.half of the dairyman in the county and others p(eroste.l, would hqvq contributed to it in the manner in which it has been laid before them. But now, however, we believe that it is nut yet too late, notwith­ standing tho unwarrantable interference of tlioso men who should haVo had better souse, to carry out the object originally in­ tended, to a successful issue. Wo would suggest, that those who have received cir- culirs from lliis mooting, and all others interested in bestowing upon Mr. Casswell, for his prisowortby efforts ;n the interests of tbo dairying industries of tho county, a suitable testimonial, should proceed at once to get up contributions for the pur-' poso, and within u reasonable time, and at somo central point cull' a meeting of tho contributors to appoint their own executive and decide what the testimonial shall be, amongst therusolvo.'. This plan would* wo think, moot the exigencies of the case as they at present unfortunately stand and would in a measure frustrate tho machin­ ations of those designing men who are at the present time using every means in thoir power, under tho guise of patriotism', to gain popularity. It is about time this kind of thing was put a clap to. Dairy­ men, as a rule, are possessed oi sufficient intelligence to conduct thoir own business and manipulate their owa bounties without tho interference of this ring of politicians, tho options of sorno of whom require so often to be explained that they even seem in the eyes of soma men to bo vary suspi­ cious, tert.

In the gal- leriea and lobbies there waa the usual over­ flow. Members w(iq have climbed or been " booeted ” into National reputation were the centres of groups of udminug friends on the floor, or of a plunging fire of eyes and Iprgn- ettes from th* gallery.

Idota to Dairymen, hope that era this reaches the read­ ers of the Pamtera' Advoca t every eo* that has been filling lhe dairymon’s pail so bountiful and without stint tho past summer, Im^ceiM^ttodacamfoitably in her stall in tbo atabtaTbr Ufa winter. For what dairy­ men could be so ungrateful as to allow his cows to roam about the yard and take shelter in an open shed during tho winter montiiaF -Jft certainly would bo very poor nco<tapehsd''after Abr summer’s good ser­ vice, to say nothing of tho poor economy aud bad management of such treatmen^. Another thing is, that sho should not bo al - lowtd to go dry so soon. A great many dairymen complain of their cows going dry in tho fall as soon as the c&ld weather comos; they do not know how it is; where­ as if they,considered tbo matter fully tHcywould find it wts tiieir fault and not tbo cows. If they had been fed more liberally, and well and comfortably stabled, this would not boat all likely to occur. Another thing which dairymen should bear in mind is, that when a cow once gets into habit of going day early she will invariably have that tendency, no matters how you. may aura for and feed her. Hence the impor­ tunco of keeping young cows and heifers milking veil into the winter if you wish to make good cows of them. The Hen. IL Lewis, of Herkimer Co., N. Y.,in hisaddrets before the Ontario Dairy- men’i Convention last winter, made the fcHonSing remark among a number ofFathers:—“That a smallionled, stingy, eloee-fisted man has no right to own and feed a cow. He had better be shaving notos, whgre po contrience is required.” There is a great deal of.truth in these remarks, for he who will stint himself and all around him will be very apt to stint bis cows. The dairyman who is afraid of wasting his feed by feedings hia cows liberally has no right to be keeping cows; he'had better go out Mated before the convention that Herki- nwr Cd. was “celebrated tho world ol-er for it* oh*eee, and which has liberal fc ad­ ore in it no doubt; still the whole profit is arceivad- from one-third of the cows kept. (tae-Ufird fail to pay for their keep from some aonatitationaf weakneu. another third fsfl'because they are illiberally fed, and thw the whole profit of all (he dairire in I La country is roeairod from ono-thinl of the eows kept" There are rather .urpris- iiag stalemauts, and yet when we come to oonsider the matter, bo* many farmer* iu Ontario. taking both those in the dairying ■Bdrftattm. bo* many are really payingawAfit 9 Take lhe best rented farms in |K * co-ntey, and bo* many of them are sinfully, mid make up bi* mind to make Some improvement the coming year, either iu liia stock, hi* f»rtn work, or mode of culture. Do no t stand still; this is an age 5 of progreM. It has been affimed with a great deal of truth, “ that w* cannot stand uili; wo are either advancing or receding.” There are two things that cannot be too strongly placed before dairymen, and these are liberal feeding and kindness to his cows and in fact to his .whole stock. Batea, the great English Short-horn breeder, “ instead of leaving hie stock to the exclusive care of tho herdsman, looked carefully after them himself personally saw to all their wonts, aud knew every particular relating to them. He loved his cattle so much that he almost made companions of them; they would follow him about the fields and yards and he would lovingly fondle them and caress them, while they in turn would rub against aim, lick his hands &c. Se tractable did they become in his presence that tho herds­ men could scarcely drive theifl when Bates was present." Some one will perhaps think well, this is very nice, but I can never get my cows to treat me in that way. This cannot be accomplished in a month or oven in a year. Tho fact is, that timidity aud wildness has bean bred in them, and has become a partof their nature, and will have to be bred out again. To accomplish this you would have to begin with the calf and follow it up till she is a cow, and even then she will show some of the old disposi- tion. I would impress it npon all that these qualities ora vary important in making a really good milch cow, and can bo develop­ ed as well as any other point ef excellence. The Hon. H. Lewis says, " that all be knows about the cow with regard to her feed and care he learned from herself, aud that he has a good deal more to learn yet A dairyman to be suooessful must bo fa. miliar with the wants and habits of his cows She is a machine for the production of milk, and he should know all about tho parts of that “machine," and how to get the most out of it. He should know when it. is doing its work properly, and when i is not he should know what is the matter, and how to apply tho remedy. ADVICE TO YOVNO MEN. There is no doubt many young men who have keen working at homo all their days on their fathers’ farm who sometimes have serious thoughts about leaving it and trying something else. To those I would say, consider well tho step you aro about to take. There seems to bo among those beginning life for themselves a desjro to es­ cape from bard work. The idea seems to prevail that farming is the reverse of light. Hard work' is the price which success in­ variably demands. I care not what tho oo cupation or profession is; it may bo physi­ cal or it may bo mental, but hard work there is in store for all those who would win promotion or wealth by their own exer­ tions. Tho farmer’s son has very little idea of the long hdurs of toil and brain work day after day and year after year that many, very many go through before they reach the goal of ease and comfort. When tho farmer comes in at night his work is done; -not so with tho busines or the pro- fcssional man. Ho has to take the evening or night for his hardest work, it, in all pro­ bability being tho only time that he can have an opportunity to collect his thoughts. Success is tho object which should bo aim­ ed at in choosing a profession. The ques­ tion should then bo very carefully consid- od: Can I succeed better at some other bus? nesss, and what aro tho ohanooa that I will so succeed ? What is tho business or occu­ pation in which I will succcd best 7 You have boon raised on a farm, you know all tho in’s and out’s about farming, any other business you know nothing about. You will have to begin and learn again, and it will be a number of years before you will be fully master of any other occupation. It will therefore bo better for you to stick to tho farm; you are, or ought to bo pretty well master of it. But sot to work and make yourself thoroughly master of it, and aim to excel in it. Every farmer who does not try to excel and keep pace with tho times and improvements of the age, and make his farm a credit to himself and his neighbor­ hood, is not doing his duty 'either to him­ self or his neighbor. lu Great Britiafi the farmer ranks next to the nobility, so will it be in this country when a first-class education becomes more general among fanners. Tho day is not far distant when the more snob will sink and the other classes, especially the farmer will raise in the social scale. But then ho must remember that if he hopes to rise he must fit himself for it by study, reading Ac. and by intercourse with other men of edu­ cation, and thorough gentlemen in every sense of tho word. There is nothing to preveut a farmer from taking positions and his place iu the best society when oc­ casion calls for it There things are only acquired by patient study, reading and ob­ servation. Cultivate good manners and a gentlemanly deportment at all times, es­ pecially at home, and it will then be easy and natural when out Be respectful and obliging to all whom you come in contact with, and you will regain tbo ost*«m and good-will of your fellow-men. A composite treed they may bo called, if such a luiacbllaneoiu admixture can be called a breed nt all. They nro all odors, and all sizes, from 141 to 101 hands high* and weigh 900 to 1,200 or 1,800 pounds in fair condition of flesh. They are bred and reared by all good farmers, who ruakv horeo-reaiing a branch* of their industry, and are bought at:d distributed all over the country, in village, town and city, where, aailo from mere fancy uso, tbo horao is needed. Good stallions are kept for service in almost every neighborhood of the land, and of these tho torso breeder takes his choice for ear vic* to his mares and succeeds in their production as his skill and care may determine. There is another example of the value of our horse of all work in Great Brittan, which can boast of as good horses of their kind as in any part of Europe. Since the street rail car has beou introduce d into Great Britain, within the past year or two, it has boon found that they had HP class of horses especially fitted for that work. It required the sinewy, elastic movement, coupled with the medium size and endnr* ance in our all wsrk horse. As a conse­ quence, many hundreds of American horses have been purchased in the Northern States and Canada for export to Britian, for other purposes as well as for street-railways and the trade is still continued to the mutual ad­ vantage of both countries. Another class demanded for exclusive purposes is the heavy draught horse, prop­ er, needed for heavy farm labors, and drawing the weighty loads in our commer­ cial and manufacturing cities and towns, for which tho ordinary Iorio of our far­ mers is incompetent. Of this class, if wo have any which may bo called “ancient” among us—say a hundred years or morn— first in order stands tho Conestoga, of Pennsylvania. The name fa a local one, taken from a river of tho central part of tho State. He is supposed to bo a native of Flanders, and to have been introduced by the German immigrants soon after they settled in Pennsylvania some time in the lost century. This horse is still reared in Pennsylvania, but in smaller numbers than formerly, and in several oilier States and is a decided favorite with those who breed and use them. ttwwfata Pi tiriat Hitt or j >.f As Time.^Ths Harper’s Weekly. il l ust r a t e d , HaSfar't Weelly ahou.d be In every family throughout the laud, m a purer, more Into real Ing, higtar-tonod,better illustrated paper la hot pubU-hed In thia or anyother Sb’unlry.—Commercial Bulletin, Uoatun.The Weekly la tho only Illustrated paper of tta daythat InlU MOMiUall chxractertetla* is roftsulied as anational paper.—Brooklyn EagleThe leading article* In HarpePs WeAly on politicaltopta* ar* modal* ot high-toned dlscusalon, and It* pic­torial llluotratlon* are often corroborative argument ofno naall force.—Examiner and Chronicle, N.

Brit kb Patent Office. The “ Conitnissionen of Patents " of Queen Victoria, have just made public their annual report, which will be in the Iionds of Parlia­ ment In a few days. It is a document differ­ ing widely from the similar publication issued, not long ago, by the United Statue Patent (•flicc ; but is, notwithstanding, full of inter­ esting information. Messrs. Louis, BaggerA Co., Patent Attorneys, Washington, D. C.,bare compiled some tables from this report, of which the following is an extract:—The total unmlier of patents granted inl.’reat Britain (esdurive of tho colonics) last year was '4,561, orrery few more than,duringthe same puivd of time, were granted ia theUnited Stoti*. to residents in the State ofNew York dene. The revenue of the office was 110,9JVmmnds sterling, or more than sixtimes that of the United States Patent office. Of the number of applications filed, 1,173were forfeited and became public property,•’Mug to Ae nqp.paytnent of tho requiredfees. Within the past eighteen month*, theL,ndon Patent Oihcc has had added to it theoffice for registering designs, and also that forreg stering trade-marks; thia latter office being a new <r ntion entirely,while the fonn«r officewas merely transferred from the London Board Of Trade. The Sale of letter la Sweden, We find a synopsis of Hon.

The roll having boon called, tho Warden ' briefly addressed the Council. At last meeting, be said, it bad boon decided tocall tba Council together at this time, on account of the courts interfering later on. In July last a communication had been re-cieved from Mr. Langmuir, Inspector of Prisons reques'ing a Committee of the Coun­cil to be appointed to arrange with him in regard to certain changes neooessary to be made in the gaol. In order to appoint such acommittee it would have been necessary to call a meeting of the Council for the pur­pose, but an arrangement was entered intoby which it was deferred till now. Ho ex­ pected Mr. Langmuir to have been presentat this session of tbo Council, but notion liod been recieved stating that it was im­ possible for him to carry out his intentionsin that respect. Ths new Registry Office was completed and has been accepted bythe government Inspector. The bank ac­ commodation this your has been much larger than was anticipated. They hadbeen authorized to get aocomodation to the amount of 98,000, but it had been found necessary to draw 917,000. Nothing hadbeen drawn but what was actually neces­ sary, and tho Treasurer’s account would show how tho money had been expended.A communication had also been recieved from tho chairman of a committee of the Toronto Council, appointed to take intoconsideration tho question of doing nway with taxation exemptions. This had beenfound to ba a serious grievance in townsand dtios, but, of course, was not felt so much in rural municipalities. He trusted the Council would take some action in thomatter. Communications were read—from Mr. Langmuir Inspector of Prisons and asy­ lums, in reference to T. F, Williams aperson of idiotic tende» ocs, who was for a time confined in Woodstock gaol, but who has sinQi been removed to tho asylum at Qrillia. Also from tho samo party askingfor a special committee to bo appointed to confer with him aud arrange for alterations required to be mado in tbo gaol. FromSidney Smith enclosing copy of his report to tbo government, stating that he bad visited the new Registry office and foundit ready for occupation. From the County Council of Waterloo, asking tbo co-oper­ ation of the Council of Oxford in memo­rializing tbo Legislature to so rnnmond tbo Medical Act as to allow females to prac­ tise midwifery without being licensed orregistered under tho Act.

Townships, wards imperative and ward elections simply. 3rd. election of reeves, mayors, etc., by council. FromJohn Lindsay and others asking that tbo road south of Woodstock, being within tbo corporation be put in repair. A statementwas presented showing that 11 pedlar’s licenses and 12 auctioneer’s licenses hodbeen granted, mid a total amount of 9112 collected therefrom. Several recounts were presented, which, with tho commni- cations, were referred to their appropriatecommittees. On motion of Mr. Cowan seconded byMr. Pinkham, F. R. Bull Esq., was request­ ed to attend tho Council and give such in­ formation as ho is in possession of respect­ing tiw bond sgrnnted by tbo County of Ox­ ford to the Credit Valley Railway Com­pany ; of how much of said bonus has been paid over to tho said oomnany; who has tho charge of unapropriated moneys ; and ifChe sameis deposited and drawing interest. On motion of Mr. Mooro, seconded by Mr. Peers, a by-law was introduced tochange tho time of making the assessment lolls, which was read a first and second time, but was laid over for six. months in' a cammitteo of tho whole. Mr. Bull entered tho Council Chamber“ 'nod addressed tbo Council on tho Credit Valley Railway, as requested ia the reso­ lution previously passed. Mr. Ball ex­pressed himself us strongly of tho opinion that tho road would bo built through to Ingersoll in a year form now. Ho had rtodoubt but what tbo bonus asked for from Toronto would be submitted to the people. Mr..Laidlaw while in England Inst summerLhad made arrangement for a supply of rails, provided the threatened war in Eur­ ope did not alter circumstances. Therehad boon expended of the money voted by Oxford 9148,000, leaving an unexpondail balance of $52,000, which was drawing 5per cent interest. The money wae in tho hands of trustees, and could bo exponded only os specified in tho By-law underwhich it was granted. Tho trustees liningthemselves responsible. Ho had expressed ever}'confidence that the road would be completed through to Ingersoll next year. It was then moved by Mr. Cowan, scc- unL'd by Mr. Peers, that tho expls nation given by Mr. 2“'l in reference to the pos­ ition of tho 0. V. R- is satisfactory to theCouncil, aud that the xLauks of this Coun­cil are duo to Mr. Bill for his attention to the interests of this county. Carried. On motion by Mr. Moore, seconded byMr. John Peers, a By-law was introduced to amend By-law 183, to license, regulate, and govern auctioneers, pedlars etc., in the CAHuty of Oxford. After the first and sec-ond readings tho Council went into a com­ mittee of the whole on the By-law, Mr,Scofield in the chair. Auctioneers licenses were fixed as fol­ lows For 12 months from Jan. 1st, 1129 months from April 1, 110; 6 months from July 1, 18 ; 8 months from Oct. 1,96. Pedlars licenses are ns follows 1 year from Jan. 1, 95; 9 months from April 1, *4 ; 6 months from July 1, 93 ;8 months from Oct. 1, 92.

The lust proposition was carried. There w m a large number of personspresent interested iu the passage of the By­ law. Mr. Wm.

She would bo glad when they hadleft her to hsrsolf. * You will both shako hands with Mabel,*said Angelo, almost peremptorily, to hia parents. ‘There must bo a complete recon­ ciliation between you beforo w.o go.*Mr. Salmon seemed afraid of opposing bis will lo his son's, nnd Mrs. Salmon wasonly too ready to shake hands.v Good-by, dear,’ she whispered, as she stooped down and kissed our heroiue.‘Don’t think unjustly of poor Angelo.’* Good-by,* said Mabel; ‘and for all past kindness, thank you.* ‘ Good-by, Miss Westbrook,’ said Mr.Salmon, taking his wife’s place. ‘If this Christian-like example soothes my son'sfeelings, I am only too proud to show it inmy humblo way. And—ahem!—I hopo you did not moon what you said aboutAngelo a little while ago.

There might bo blood up­on it for all that sho know. It might have struck down tho man sho loved only a little wlrilo ago. Who could tell ?

It hnd been the first intimation of their departure, aud Mabel was surprised and hurt at the announcement^ for theyhad thought a great deal of her ef late days, she had been inclined to consider. Bhe didnot expect to bo asked to accompany themto St Lasarus; eha would not have gone with them bad they made her the offer oftheir home's shelter for a while, but tbe suddeunesaof the anuouaocment of their departure was depressing. There weiethree tbe less in her little world drifting away from her for good; three who bad begun as her friends, and were disposed toconsider themselves aggrieved now. Well, well! they might have just cause of com­plaint, for she had acted with precipitationat the last, and out of love for Brian ; she did not know—she had not had tho timo or patience to consider. There was only one, grave thought and miseiy for her in these . hitter days, and inlier sorrow sho was moro, selfish than she had aver been. She was . unsettled nnd variable, nnd strange herself. L Mabel heard tbe news with composure,des-., pits her surprise at the scant notice of the event.I ‘ I shall miss you all.' she said calmly. k 11 am sorry yon are going.' ‘ Thsre is nothing to stop for,' said Mrs.Salmon, with a heavy sigh ; 1 tho place is : doing Angelo more harm than good, and ’ tbo sooner he i» ent of it tho bolter.'‘ Is he anxious to loava this piece also ?’ Mnbel inquired. ' ' Hs is quite a child in onr hands—henever says a word, or too ns to care—ho— ' ho—oh I Mabel,' and thou Mrs. Salmonbroke down in hor weak way, and buriedher fate in her handkerchief, and began sobbing violently.Mr. Gregory Salmon hnd left all tho ex­ planation to his wife, for a wonder, aud this was the result, as ho might have guessed,after so many years’ knowledge of her char-, acter., ‘ Mis. Salmon,' bo said sharply, • yinare making yourself exceedingly ridicu­lous.’• I—I know I am Greg—Gregory,’ re­plied liis weeping wife ; ‘ but how am I to help it ? Oh my poor boy, that I thought was getting on so well—before this blowcamo I’ Malcl approached Mrs. Salmon, put onearm afound her neck, nnd bent her fairyoung bead down till it touched tho gray . hairs of tho older woman.‘ Do you blame me for all that has Imp­ elled then ? Have I acted so very badlyAngelo?’ said Mabel.• Yon told him all at onoo you wouldn't have anything moro to do with him, am) that—that crushed him down completely,’said tlio mother; ‘ and it was—I can’t help saying it—very cruel of you.' ‘ He bad discovered for himself and be­fore I was prepared to tell him,' replied Malcl, ‘ what you nnd Mr. Salmon have knovn from tho commencement, that I didnot consider him aa my future husband.' • Miss Westbrook, if you had set your .mind to it,’ said Mr, Salmon, breaking in ;upon tbo conference for the first timo, ‘ it ' would have been an easy ta»l< to regard myson with affection, and that is what, des- 'nite tho disparity of tho match in a world- 1 ly point of view, we had Loped would occur 'in course of timo. It has uot been pleas­ ant for mo to see my son desirous of an al- * iianco with you.

It has been a great trouble to me. Miss Westbrooka blow to my prido in my family and my son, but I was resigned lo tbo match for his sake.

It was at your reqiest, and I knew and saw the danger of it iry quicklv af­terward. I was foolish,I nnd thought torestore to health by d egrtas the one man who had beou kind to me, although I knew thcro must follow a day hko this to casthim down. I know I could never love him aud yet I undertook the rein taskof saving him by a seinblaucotaf affection which noone regrets moro than I d->.' ■ You would have saved him if yon had kept on for a mouth or two longer, if thatconceited man from the museum had notinterfered out of spile and jealousy,and you had natfl^couragad him to make lovo toyou from the very first moment he camo into the hotel,’ said Mr. Gregory Salmonpassionately. ' Mabel drew horaelf up vsry proudly, and tbo enter mounted to herface at the tauntshurled at her. ‘ lie did not come too Boon,’ sho said, 1 for he was the only true friend I over had. The rest wore not worthy of my trust inthorn.’ ' A pretty friend to run away in fear of tho ohnstisement ho wae likely to receivefor blaring false witness against bis neigh­ bor,'laid Hr. Gregory Salmon, vindictively; • a uho man to prefer to my boy P• Ho has uot run away, and only a cow­ard vonld imply to mo that he has,’ cried Mate! very wann’y aleo. ‘ If he hue dis­appeared forever I shall believe that this falsoCnptain Seymour or your son—God knot's which—has killed him. There,thatis the thought which is preying upon me, and which I can hold back no longer.— Tbt*e has been foul plsy and heaven give me strength to denounce the promoter of it.I will have ns mercy on his guilt.’ Neither Mr. nor Mrs, Salmon w m pre­pared for this passionate outcry from onewho had always been calm and equable and amiable, and both were completely silenced sne confounded by her indignation, Theterrible suipicfcn which she had avowed w m on hermifrl came upon them also with an effect that vas remarkable, for bothturned very white and stared at Mabel as at a ghost, afternervously glancing at eachother. Mabel Westbrook w m singularly quick to observe^ for she cried eagerly. ‘ Ha I you knew something more of this—Angelo bM bcfrxyed himself to you. It is be, then ?' ‘No, no,*cried Hrs.Salmon; ‘formercy’ssake, don't think ffiatl It u not likely hs would barm any sue even in hie strange condition.

'After all this while, y->u should have had a kinder thought of me.*‘ Well said, Angelo; well said,' oriel theMaster of St, Loxarea, enoouragingly ; ‘I am glad you are here to answer for your­self.’ • My own dear injured child 1* exclaimedMrs. Salmon, with a fresh buret of tears.'

He was a clever actor, but ho had not dociovcdhcr by bis imperson­ ation. She was sure that Brian had undono mistake, and that it was this man’s policy to keep to tho character ho, had as­ sumed.

Mabel Westbrook waited patiently fnr tho return of Angelo Salmon, but tho weary hours went by without a sign of him.She was alone in tha world now, and know not which way to turn. If ho camo notback—if it had all been a subterfuge to throw her off her guard, what should she do ? His manner had implied that ho was at tha bottom of tho mystery which hadshut Brian Halfday from her; but was she positive of this, or had he a second and dif­ferent meaning nt which there was no guessing? Every thought and every inci­ dent she connected with Brian’s absence ; was it possible that Angelo would confesstho truth lo her if he bad been the cause of it ? Was it probable even that this incom­ prehensible being would return to own hisbaseness to tho woman ho had loved? Would ho tench her by his own confessionto halo him for his treachery ? Mabel wandered like a restless spirit knowing no rest about tho rooms nnd cor­ridors of the hotel. There was a depres­sion about tho place that suited with her mood, and when tho night had eet in thewind howled dismally from the sea, and camo in angry guste against the windowsof tho edifice. It hod been almost a complete migrationfrom tho "Mastodon"—the breaking out of the palguo could have scarcely effected amore general clearance of tbe visitors thanthis sudden outburst of rough weather up­ on the Yorkshire coast. Fashion packedup its best clothes, spread its wings, and flew away, aud its imitators followed in hot haste. Tbe “Mastodon" was nearlyempty; the dinner was served in a smallroom to the few visitors remaining; only a few burners here and there iu the greatcaudelabras in the drawing-room and hall were lighted; and tho waiters crept about like funeral mutes who had sot their stavesaside and were looking for tho body in the corridors. Mabel did not dine that night; she was sick at heart, and anxious. She seemedwaiting for the terrible truth that waa to Wholly strike her down. Still, it wax difficult to wait, and impos-sible to rest. She took up her position in the gallery whore she had sat with Brianlate on tho first night of his arrival; tho vinos waa in shadow now, bnt she could look dawn into the hall and see who camoand went through the great entrance doors, and she was away from the Utile coterie remaining, and from tho tattle, which shevu glad u> be free. Presently there came down ths hall-lighted stairs Michael Sowellend Isabel Disney, the former in a thickjreut coat, the skirts of which touched his bools, Uie latter in the semi-evening dressehe had adopted for that night's dinnerYear. ■You. will be back to-morrow, then?'add Isabel. ‘Yes, to-morrow.’• Late to-morrow, < f coutw,' naij laalx'l, with a sigh. ‘What shall I do iu this irony place till yi<n return ?''
