The Dunkin Act is not a prohibitory law, and even if it were, if it is not passed in tho wLolo country, and not hero and there in isolated counties, its effect in suppressing tiro evils which the traffic entails will bo so slight that they will ba imperceptible. Our reason for opposing this law is bccauso of tho loss of trade and revenue which we shall in all probability sustain without ac* compliebin’ t!:o good desired, and which the friends of the Bill claim for it. Wo bo- liovo tm> forcing of this Bill npm tho elec tors in tho presont ghapo will injure and set back tiro causo of huo prohibition for many years to come, for this reason : Many prohibitionist, feeling tho Bill to bo an in complete one, will vote against it, and the vote taken upon it will not bo a t> no test of tho readiness of tho county fi>r tho adop tion of such a measure. Should the Bill bo defeated it will bo a verdict against prohi bition, and must so bo considered. Thus, instead of doing good it will do harm to the cause of prohibition, aud will virtually close all discussion on tho subject for some lime to come.

Mr. Stuart we know liltlo about, but we hear him well rpoken of and wo trnst will make a good councillor. Messrs. Walsh and Choate como to the Board with promise and with the others wo must await developments before pronouncing farther upon them. Tho now Council will be Composed of six re-c-loctod members and seven now mom- bers. Tiru year 1876 is now of the past; it opened gloomily, and it cannot be said to Lave closed less so, and yet wo have had numberless blessing? to bo thankful for; distress hasyhot beet} by any means ns wide spread as might have been anticipated when the dullness in nil branches of indus tries and trades, and tho short crops, nre taken into account. Wide spread poverty and distress might reasonably have been expecto?, Lui through the merciful good- uesa of our Almighty Father wo have been permitted to enter on a new year with a ifopo of a brighter future. Failures havo, during the past year, boc:; numerous and wide spread, itjd by no means confined to any pnlllcular locality or lino of busings, and in many instances these failure’s will prove a blessing by wip ing out of existence such firms ns ought never to have had n commencement, leaving those who have the menus and nptitudo to carry on successfully. Overtrading was being universally indulged in during previ ous years, and Canada was not backward in this respect. It is. however, a relief to find, by tho official returns for somo time past, that tho imports into Canada have l*cea steadily decreasing, a sure sign of futuro improvement. The short crops of the past season, prin cipally in wheat, have not proved so dis astrous to tho farmer and the country, owing to the bountiful 'crops of the previous season, and tho accumulated wealth now in the possession of tho agriculturalist. The products of tho Dairy have not, during the pa.t scason,suffcr«d much, either in quanti ty or quality, although, until towards the cud of tho year, prices realized were much below those of previous years. This was pot to be wondered at, looking at the uni- vcreJ tlxgJK2L.it. Our Dominion appears to be more tiddly cemented tbau ever; its settled area is be ing rapidly extended, and tracts of country which were previously thought to be unin habitable, are bring steadily settled by an industrious population.

The river St. Lawrence, some were san guine enough to beiieve, was thia winter to be navigated by a steamer specially built for the purpose, but so far success has not crowned the attempt. The Canadian mails are now landed nt aud despatched from Halifax,instead of Portland as former ly, resulting in sovtral hours being saved both ways, and by the opening of the In tercolonial Railway nil points in eastorn counties arc reached through Canadian ter ritory. Th# death of Lieut.-Gov. Caron, of Que bec, caused tho loss of a good citizen, and well-beloved Governor. His successor, tho Hon. LctollicrSi. Just is well liked and tiro appointment is a suitable one. Ho.en ters ou hid now duties under tho best of auspices. The Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition engrossed our attention for a great portion of the past year, drawing crowds from the Dominion. Canada ought to be proul of her display there, and of the cncen'.nrai ox- ' pressed, and deservedly so, bf her tnUr- priso and wonderful progress as shown l>y her exhibits. Not only were strangers fr.mi Europe surprised to see so young a nation competing so’successfully with all comers, but our very next door neighbors never dreamt that tho sources of tiro Dominion were so great or so varied. Proud of her success in the States, Canada is about to display her wares in a more remote coun try nt the coming Sydney, Australia, Ex hibition. Let us hope that this may be a means of iqTftriing out a now trade, and finding a new field for our manufacture*. Tho peace of Europe is not yet guaran teed ; at any moment tiro horrors of war may have to be encountered. Every means, however, aro being adopted to prevent tiro occurrence of such a catas trophe. Turkey-feels that she has no right to be dictated to by others ns to the inter nal policy of her own country, and Russia only wants some plausible excuse for seizing Turkey; this is about tho true state of af fairs when tho varnish is removed. There is no doubt but that the Christians in Tur key have been made to sailer unnecessarily but where one religion predominates iu numbers so vastly, as tho Mussnlmars do over the Christians in Turkey, the weaker must be at a disadvantage, nnd, to a cer tain extent be imposed upon ; civilization and education will, is a mcaauro eradicate this. The Presidential election in the United States has been tho ruling topic there ; such a close election is sure to embitter the tool ings of the two parties as against each oth- 1 wr.ii!..dr.-jri t'.ica as y >u .?r I, Mr. t/ul-i have no cone.pt>>>n of unlee* we iug nearer aud’nearer an accomplished fact, * *r unlil tho lnattcr be 5oUled 115 t0 The Niiw Council for Ingorsoll for 1377 1 as will bo seen by tho rcturna in another 1 part ef this i«*«uo will bo composed of the following gentlemen 1 Mayor—Mr. John McDonald. Reeve—Mr. Thomas Brown. 1 First Deputy Itoeve—Mr. James Noxon. 1 Second Deputy Reave — Mr. Edwin Casswoll. 1 Councillors—Messrs. D. Choate, M. 1 Walsh and Geo. Foster for the First Ward. Messrs. Jas. McIntyre, J. W. Partlow and R. Siuort for tho Second Ward. Messrs. > R. Y. Ellis, Robt. Vance and A. Daly [fr tho Third Ward. Mr. Sorlcy, having accepted a '.'r-ry lucra tive appointment in Mont>&al subsequent io tho nomination felt compelled in justice to his friej’.us to relinquish tho con test which Ip did by public announcement ou Friday last, and Mr. McDonald virtual ly vrulkcd tho course. Tiro greatest interest in the election was centered in tho contest for the office of First Deputy Itcevc, botween Mcssr?. Noxon nnd Oliver, and which was won by tho former gentleman, notwithstanding tiro boast of Mr. Oliver that ho bad beaten Mr. Noxon before and could do it again. Mr. Noxon has frequently; within tho pail fow years held a seat in our Municipal Council and ho has proved bimsolf an efficient, at tentive nmfeareful official, and tho town is to be congratulated upon his success. We hav® nothing to regret in tho defeat of Mr. Oliver, fooling as wo do that he merely sought Hie position as a stepping stone to higher honor*. He will no doubt feel now less confident in bis prowess nn*l in tho hold which lie was supposed to have upon the electors of the municipality. It should teach him that an intelligent community is not to be led by the nose to suit the whim and capriceoi a man who seeks office mire- ly as a means of self-aggrandizmcnt. It should teach him that they have lost frith In his boasted wollwisbes for the prosperity and interest of the town. It should teach him that they appreciate other essential requisites in preference to pompous pride ■nd empty boastings, and finally it should teach him that they would much rather he would attend to his own business hero and at Thunder Bay and elsewhere while they found men of their own choosing to attend to theirs. There aro oome of the lessons which it should tench him and it is to bo hoped he will profit by thanf. It may also teach him and Iff* organ grinder that "our little eontoraporary across the way” has some iflfiaonoe. * Mr. Casawell will make a first-clam Deputy Reeve. He waa elected, as he should be, without opposition, Mr. Walsh baring declined ths nomination. Tho new councillors will be Messrs. D. Choate, and M. Walsh in tho First Ward, Mr. R. Stewart in tho Second Ward, and Messrs. R.Y. Ellis and A Daly in the Third ■ Ward. Tina is rather a larger infoaion oj now blood than i» usual. They are all goodmen for khe positions and if any improve ment can ba made in our municipal affairs we believe there men mi] he safely iatmit- •d with the work. Mr. Daly has occupied tbs portion of.Chairman of tha Finance , Commlttre for twwyw«, and ta thoroughly is bound to develops tiro, at present, unia- ' habited district* between east and west; 1 prairies and the buffalo aro gradually dis- 1 appearing, to bo replaced by hoiirostcads c and cp'pi. > The Newfoundlanders show a disposition ' to enter.tiro Dominion at no remote period. ’ They aro beginning to realize the fact that ’ union is strength, and conducive to pros- * perily. The Governor-Gcirojal’s visit to ' British Columbia neerns to have worked 1 marvels in reconciling the Queen's subjects j in that quarter. * Agitation has been brought to beir to in- trodueo tho Duakiu Act iut^p many counties of Ontario, but, so far, without the success anticipated. A few dayo now will decide whether or nut the people of Oxford will adopt tho Act. A large bulk of the property of tiro cities aud towns of the Dominion, aggregating, perhaps, a twelfth of tho wuole, is at pres ent free from taxation, aud iu Ontario,stren uous efforts are almost universally being made to abolish these exemptions. Fires in Canada have been prolific during tho past twelve months, the largest of whieb were akQuebec, St. John’s nnd Kingston. Ingersoll, too, had her Town Hall and Market destroyed by fire. Tho indirect loss occasioned thereby, such ns tho aboli tion of market fees, rant of temporary council chamber,' ic., proving oven more of a loss than that caused by tho actual tiro itself, the building being pretty well in sured. This, coupled with extravagance, has raised our taxes to the utmost limit al lowed by law. The new council comprises many good men, and it Will bo a wonder to us if they cannot devise means bf reducing the burden. The Credit Valley Railway, which we had ovary reason to believe would be running long ere this past our doors, seems to bo as for off as before it was started. Tiro Company has got our mouey(and much blame is to bo attached to those whoso duty it was to see that sufikiant guarantees were given before any portion of the debentures wore made over. What sane man, we wonld hsfe, would part with bis private means iu the manner that Ox ford’s quarter of a million dollars were scattered to the winds. Tiro mania for speculating in flocks with other people’s money has been the ruin ol several promising young men of late. The marvellous success of ena of the late man age! s of the Bank of Montreal, in specula tions was an example and a bait whieh yonnger am) lets experienced heads could not resist. The number of murders and other atrocious erimes have been so numer ous as to make them appear almost epi- demic in tbeir nature.

Tiro election, unfortunately, has been productive of great injury to tho trade of tho States; the ex citement h ns been so intense ns in mfiny cases to result iu bloodshed and rowdyism on a grand scale, heaping disgrace on a na tion which calls itself the homo of tho free. Tiro result of the election is still uncertain but it is to be hoped nnd prayed for that tho worst may now bo over. England nnd the United Stiles have again shown their good common souse by amicably settling Hie Extradition laws with out in any way fulling out over them. It yet remains to be seen whnt the States pur pose doing with tho surplus, somo eleven millions of dollars of the Geneva award ; if this matter were l*fl to be settled by anoth er arbitration it could scarcely go so far astray as the one that necessitated it. Tho recent fire iu Uro Brooklyn Theatre, which resulted in so many lives being sac- rificed, has been productive of good, in so far as it has been tho means of causing a wide spread feeling of distrust iu tho suffi ciency of exit of openings from theatres in all quarters of the globe ; already alter ations have been extensively made to sc- onre extra exit accommodations, and steps aro almost universally being taken to pre vent the reoccurrence of so dire a catastro phe* The recent accident on the Ohio Railway, by which 100 lives are supposed to have been lost will, wo trust, result in a rigid inquiry being instituted into tho cause of the failure of tho iron bridge ; it is not sufficient to sny that it was caused by frost, but means should be promptly adopt ed to remove the cause in other similar structure*; every road possessing such bridges is more or less deeply interested in the cause of the accident, and should watch the enquiry closely. Not the smallest blcning we have to be thankful for is the continued reign of our beloved Sovereign, Queen Victoria, the hap piest, most contented and prosperous period of England's history.

It may prove interesting to some of our coun try fneuds: •• Cut the rennet in small pieces, nnd.fill a jar half full; throw in two handfuls of salt and fill up with water. Strain the night's milk in a tub and add two spoonfuls of rennet to each pail of milk, as sufficient (to form a firm curd in half an hour. As rojn as the curd will break square across the finger it should bo out in pieces an inch square. Lot it stand until morning, thou ■ dip the enrd to drain. Scald the tub, strain the morning’s milk, and proceed as before. When the whey covers the surface of the ciird dip iU When the curds are drained sufficieutly they should be scalded by pour, ingon hot water to ruse temperature1 to nlrety-cigbt deg. or one hundred deg., stir ring constantly. Let the curd remain iu the hot water until thoroughly done, then drain and hong in a eool place. Proceed w th the next day’s milk in the same way. When the curd is cold chop both together; add one spoonful of salt to each pail of milk. Press lightly at first, steadily following up the pressure until the whole is firmly set together. The cheese must be turned every day, kept well buttered, rubbed often to keep off the flies. If inclined to spread, a Landage will be needed. Crott*Zreeding Fowls. For ordinary fowl breeding mongrel, or cross-bred fowls, are as good and some times better than the pure breed. Take, for instance, the Brahmas and cross them on native or other breeds, and they make a fowl iu most cases that are large enough fur the table and excellent layers. Such Brahmas as we see at fairs, pullets weigh ing 9 or 10 pounds are not of much value, except to be eaten. They are raised ex pressly to be exhibited and looked st, and if brought to breed from their progeny would be much inferior in most cases to the stuffed and pampered parents. A pub et eight months old, which weighs dressed about fire pounds, is largo cnongh, and the Brahma’s and Cochin crossed on any of the stnalfor breeds of fowls will produce pullets when full grown of that weight. Takes light Brahms cock and put him with pullets of any native fowl, abd the cross will result in a splendid verity—not n breed—became tin progeny of such .fowls.will not produce their like, but they Freed in-oud-in for five years to advantage when b cock from “koma other strain of Llood, but otlho original breed would bo d - sirable. A cross of pdre Brahma cock on Leghorn Hamburg pullets would also pro duce fins fowls. Indeed, no small breed of fowls can be seleeb d for such a cross with out producing good fowls. UK for Fattcttlaj Swine. Some years ago a friend experimented in giving salt to swine which ho was fatten ing.—He Selected two pairs of barrow hogs, weighing 200 lbs. apiece. Of e pair receiv ed with tfieir daily allowance of food two ounces of salt—the other pair, similarly fed none. In the course uf a week, it was eas ily seen the salted pair hod a much strong er appetite than the others, and after a fortnight it was increased to two ounces Hpkce. After four months the weight of the salted bogs was HuO pounds each, while that of the nnealted, five weeks later, roach- <d only 800 ihs. Tito experiment was re- twated with almost precis Jy the same ro mite. Fie Depatment. Carxr of DatatoB—Wm. L. Hearn. AAU8TAXT Cnirr—K. O. Bickerton.Co.

It was a composition under ditficul- ■ ties, though tho vessel was toei>ed no lon-, ’ger violently by the sea. aud thero were op- i portunities of bearing so weak a voica a* Brian's. It wastbn last will and testimonyof Brian nifday which Dorcas had boon called upon to write ; and as she wrote■be marveled nt her brother's coolness, andmethod and forethought. He left nil the money ho possessed in the world, with theexception of one legacy to Mabel WjsI- brook ; ho called attention to tho fortune which the las’ will or Adam Halfday wouldplace hie e.a uton and ouigns in pcs os.sion of and which in due coun-o was io bc- c imbibe prop< rty.of M ;b IWosthrookjif r-‘-said;|Uo b qno*t’;e<l|ilogccyof fivcl.n idred pounds to his sister Dorcas Sewell; ind he left a valuable bnt small collection ol forri!s and mineral! to tho kuriJW of tho PjuIq- Museum.* There, that will do, I think,* he said conly, * Let mo see the copy Dorcas.’ Dorcas placed the will in his hand, andho held it in his short-sighted fashion, close to his eyes, and examined it critically. * I ikm't want that five hundred pounds,’Doriras safe moodily. * Wbat good will it do mo 7* . .

Oh, Brian,’ she cried flinging herself close to his side, and clasping her thin hands, • can nothingbo dona Io help him ?** Very little,Jl'm afriid/ ' ‘ If he could escape—if you could onlyhear the etoty of bis sudden temptation— , ilf you know how sorry ho was tho instant afterward—'* Ah 1 tho instant afterward, that’s it,' (said Brian ironically. * If it were on ythe instant before that people were eorry 1 or repentant, what a happy world this would be I’ , * Yon blame ms for thinking of him ;bnt I can't help it Brian, even now. I J try bnt I can’t,’ she cried. * Forgive me ; I will do my duty to you at least.’‘ Forgiven Dorcas readily,’ ho said, lay ing bis hand on her raven hair- * It is a woman’s error with a touch of heaven in jit—to love the undeserving so well.* >‘ Yon are worse T she cried, as be spoke witbins old difficulty and weakness. '’ A little faint—for an khstiurt. That is 'all.’’I Dorcas ran up the steps nt once, forget- ’ ting herself and her husband, and tile cap- <tain and mate of the vessel CTitSo down stairs again at her appeal. Brian had re- 1 covered from his faintness or was strong Jenough to repress any exhibition of it when they were close to his berth. Ha looked atthem very steadily. '* I want yon two gentleman to witness 1 my signature,* he said, * and to affix your < own afterward, with your addresser, on the 1 lefthand corner of the document.

Brian rallied again, but it was not onchipboard. AH that happened el Bridlington as the ship sailed into the harbor ho learned «Hhour loiter, when he hal been carried on ’a Eller to a private apartment in ths townwhere it had boon tho«r;lit a man might die in a (wnreuiont and comfortable fashion without troubling loo usaoy poopb with lusnromat uro * My dear Mabel, how glad I am I’ He took ths soft whit* luuida in his nnd kimed them, and Mabel turned away her■ head to hide the tsars in her eyes. * * I havo been waiting for you—oh, so1 long I’ be murmured. ’ You will uot go• away again ?’ 1 4 Nover again/ ' I shall not keep you a great wlule,* liesaid, with a foiut sigh. 4 What is thotime ?' 4 Nine o’clock/* Miue is a slow poiton. nnd not much behind its time yet,* said Brian. ‘ Has thedoctor been ?

' Hollas made many inquiries of your sister, eud of Michael Sewell, and—and—oh, don’t ask mo !' she cried, burying her face in thn pillo.vt beside him. His hand rested on her fair young headawhile. 4 Courage, Mabel,’ he said ; ‘ I nm not much to lose. J have known you such alittlo time ; I have always been irritable, harsh and exacting with you. Always a disagreeable fellow.’4 No, no/ she said ;4 it is not true.’4 It is for mo to give way ; for happiness has only seemed a possibility of late days. y<'t,* he added, * I nm strong.* • And remgned---say resigned, BrianT Brian knitted liis brows ns if in opposi.lion still. * I am not certain,’ ho said.

He has blighted iny whole life. 1 have never for given him; I never, never can.’The door opened softly and cautiously as she spoke, and Angelo Halmon stood upon the threshold and beard all tint Mabetoaid.lie came forward with clasped hands and head bowed down—a peeitent who tookhis senteuce meekly, and accepted it asjutt ‘ Pardon mo both of yon,’ he sold in aiiol'ow voice, * bnt I could not stay any longer ; Lam compelled to leave you.* * What do you mean ?* asked Brian.Angelo Salmon looked behind him al the door, where two men were standingmule, bnt observant. * Who aro tbey ?' was Mabel’s quick inquiry.• The police,’ was Angelo's reply, * I am arrested for the attempted murder of this poor sufferer.

CHAPTER xxnr. i briftfatnm and 1«N of the Grcntiy to tho astonishment of Mabel W*stbrook, of Angelo Salmon, and even ofthe r. p -esentativisof the constabulary fore* of Yorkshire, Brim Halfday sat up in bed in his surprise and vexation at the nows,‘ What’s this ?’ bo cried. 4 Who arrested you ? Wlint for ?’Ho lookdl toward the police ns if for bisanswer, and one man stopped forward, cap in hand, and pulled at bis front lock of hair by way of salutation to the invalid.‘ 1 beg your pardon, Sir. Yon’ro th* murdered gentleman, I s'pose.’ ' Go on. My namo is Brian Halfday,’said our hero, impatiently. • Who hasdared to arrest this gentleman? who pre- ftrS !h any WAy a complaint against him ?’ ‘ There’s been a tremeuj.'ous deal of stir about this affair already, Sir,' s.eid tho po liceman, ‘and wo're bound to arrest everyone mixed up in it. The crew of the Grey have told us all that’s happened ; nn<l as this is likely to be a serious matter, all tho parties implicated have been taken upnt once.' Brian lay down in his bed ngnin. His head was disposed to swim, and the resultof tbeso farther complications was beyond his weak analysis. If ho were only a littlo stronger; if tho minutes of hi* life werenot drifting away so quickly ; if ho could do something to savo his rival from tbe con sequences of his old rash act I• W’ho are arrested ?* he inquired.• Michael Sowell, for the poisoning busi ness, his wife, tho captain of tin MaryGray, and this gentleman. • What has this gentleman to do with tho poison I havo taken ?’ arked Brian. ‘ We don’t know anj' thing at present,Sir,’ said the policeman, apologetically, but precisely; wo’re only acting under orders.Wo sha’n't know, you sec, Sir, how yondied, whether from tbe blow or tho poison, until tho inquest is hold on your remains— if you'll cxcuso my mentioning them ntpiesont.’‘Toll these dreadful men to go,’ cried Mabe), very white. ‘ By what right arethey hefo at all ?’• Business, Mabel, business,' said Brian in a half-reproving tone. ‘ I am very glad they have come.’ 'Thankee, sir, 'and there’ll bo a nngis- trato hero in a few minutes to take down your depositions, I was told to say.' • I don’t know that I have nnj'thing t*say,' replied Brian thoughtfully, ‘ but I shall bo prepared for him. But before you take away my friend, understand that tmake no charge against and that I s 1 nnnly declare my doath dots net lie al his door, ns bo bos foolishly stated.’• Why do you say this, Brian 7‘ asked Angelo. * Is i.t worth whilo for such a wretch as I am ?’*' It is tho truth,’ Brian replied, 'and I am anxious to say it for trnth** sake.’‘ I struck you dawn.'' We had a little quarrel, certainly,’ said Brian; * but I was more to blame than you for yon were weak and not yourself, and Isaid bitter things when you grow nngry, *nd so wo camo to blows. I was getting better when Michael Sewell poisoned mt—I was much better; and yon aro blameless in this matter I protest with my 'a it breath.’ Angelo Salmon wont swiftly to tho b*d-si’lo, stooped, and kissed Brian's hand, and then stood up again, erect and firm.’ • You arc very good to me, but I ean notac:ept the goodness,' he said ; • grant your forgiveness instead to the madman thnt I was. It is the only comfort I can receivein this world.’‘Accept Mabel’s forgiveness also,’ said Brian.• Ah 1 that is mv hopes ho replied. • I havo blighted l.er life.’ ‘ Mabel,' said Brian,' will yon say for-givaness with mo to this poor friend of oura?’‘ Yes, I fill, Brian, now,’ she answered.They held t’arir bauds to Angelo, whotook thorn in his own. and bowed over them utijil tears welled from him, which were ■gied for him and his old malady.' I tbauk you both,* he matured, then heturned away aud wont oat of the room, followed by the police. Brian was silent, and Mabel sat and watched him in silenceabo. Il seemed a lout time before bis voice broke the silliness of the room, and once more it sounded strong and clear and withtho ring of the old sharpness in it. • We must get to bnsmess,’ he said; we have a lot to do still.' ■ If you would nit talk n much of business,’ urged Mabel. • Tut, tut,' said Brian ; ‘look at tbe confusion on the top shelf atil<, when busyhands might ■». the matter right.* ‘ Is ho wandering ?* iboogbl Mabel, re garding him askance.' In the first place—always m tha first place—a certain Mabel Westbrock, late ofBoston, Massachusetts,' said Brian. ‘Shewill act upon that will, and she will go to Penton Museum in good time, tell the n*wcurator who tbe is, and ask for the last will of Adam Halfday, of St- Lazarus, andtbe name of the solicitor who is stirring in this matter, and whom she may trust implicity.’ Mabel did not anrwer, antllie half roseand leaned on hia elbow in Itfrpriso. ‘ Are you listening ?' ‘ Yes,' she said, lirtlesaly *, 'but suehbpai-uess a* this concerns mo very little.' • You should consumer my instraetions, Mabel. Fancy my dying with the ttiongh tthat you don’t understand them,' be said, half peevishly and half reproachfully. • Forgive me, Brian ; I will be more attentive,’ she hastened to ny. 'I under stand every thing, but I cannot think of my self.'• Ah 1 that's very wrong,’ ha replied, ly ing down again *for m long as 1 live I have to tbink of yout A» long as yon lived, Isaid onea. 1 would de that; trnh' with a sigh, *1 was over-confident, and looked too far ahead.’ • Pray, say no more,' said Mabel. • We arc losrag tinea/ he answered, ‘and it’s v*ry remnrirobte we ean not ke«jr tobusiaeas tbit morning.

There will bo another very cold snap iu January, as well as a pretty general thaw, and another severe ono in February. The Christmas just past was in striking contrast to that of last year, when slush and even mud predominated, and afterwards dust. The New Year’s contrast will bo even more striking, both of these days thus support, ing the forecast given in my almanac, and written on the 21st. November.

L Hearn had died suddenly. On inquiry it appears that Mr. Hearn had just risen from his bed and sat on the end of tho lounge to pull on his boots when he was attacked with a fit of coughing, and laying back on tbs lounge ex pired within ten minutes. Mrs. Hearn at once alarmed some of the neighbors and a doctor was sent for but before his arrival he had breathed his last, Mr. Hearn was a P, G. of the Order of Odd-Fellows of Samaritau Lodge and also a member of Unity Encamp ment. He was also an active member of the Fire Department, having Riled every position from the ranks up to Chief of the Brigade, which office ho held up to the time of his death. Ho wss a young man in the prime of his life, being only 33 years of age and pos sessed the esteem and confidence of his as sociates, neighbors and tho community at largo. He was a machinest by trade and has been employed in the Noxon Brothers* Man ufactory for tho past fourteen years during the last three of which he held the poaition of foreman of ths Works. He leaves > widow and three dasgliter*, the eldest of which is not twelve yean of age, to mourn hia sudden and melancholy death. The Community at large feel ths toes of so worthy a townsman,and !?ie bereaved family have their undivided sympathy. Tho deceased was subject to Ljrt disease, and it is thought that he re- ceivea internal injury at the time of the baroing ot Jbe lock up in tho Town Hall, nearly two yeti? a3° when he fell through the flooring from .ti»« nPP«r «tory »»« tho burning cell below, knowing theee <*«*• the Having, during tho last five year* scut out from the Ingersoll High School about thirty teachers, of whom many are still engaged in teaching in tbo County, I take tho liberty of calling tbo attention of second class caudi- datea*to matters of tho greatest interest, to themselves, and to the cause of educaion in this county. The fact that so many candidates have failed to take second class certificates at the expiration of third class, reveals the necessity of finding a remedy for these discouraging features, if the experience gained during two or three years teaching is to be retained to the profession, and if a higher stand is to be taken by those who have become teachers. To prepare for second class during the ac tive duties of the school has been found very discouraging, unless a thorough foundation were laid before entering into tho work. ‘The want of scholarship manifests itself morn par ticularly in such subjects os English and history,algebra and natural philosophy, where the aid of a practical and cxporidacxl teacher is indispensable. Another discouraging feature to third class teacher* is the failure, that iu a large majority of cases has attended the efforts of those who have attended the Normal School. This has arisen from the too low scholarship obtained before entering.and not understanding that tbo Normal School is an institution not so much designed to bo educative as it is a school for training and inculcating tho principles of teaching. The only institutions in the country design ed to supply thia want aro our high schools. The last revision of tho High School pro gramme has had this one object in view, the means by which second class candidates can make thorough preparation for their examination*. Every candidate who intend* presenting him self or herself for second class certificate next July, should take advantage of the coarse of study to be pursued tbis year for tho intermediate examination in June. In connection with thi* work, wo pur pose, during tho year, to use the public school, so efficiently conducted, m a model school so far as practicable, in order to give teachers some experience before en tering upon their profession. There are or ganized classes preparing for the work of matriculation, which will give every oppor tunity to students taking that course. The record of the High School in the past, the success of our teachers, the attention given to the work and tho interest token in the students, are ths inducements wo offer to the many teachers and patrons in the County of Oxford, For any information apply to T.

C level and, Ohio, Dec. 20.—A terribleaccident occurred at Ashtabula, Ohio.Train number five, Henn conductor, on the Lake Shore, bound west, wentthrough theiron bridge, wevenly-five foot to the ziver.. It is reported that seven emebu and all the express cars were bnrtied, and about,ono out of every five persons killed. Ton p. m.—The aceno of the railroad ac ident at Ashtabu’w creek seventy-fivefeet above the water. Ou both sides are high banks. Snow had been falling almost constantly for the last forty-eighthours, and rfov a driving storm was raging making it very dffioult to get mows fromthe wrecked and burning train. The cit-1 izens of Ashtabula with a competent corps of physicians, are doing everything possible,for the sufferers. 10.26 p. m.—Tho storm at Asktbnla lias somewhat abated, and the weather is fastgrowing colder. It seams Chat the falling- train and bridge broke tho ice in thecreek, and those not killed by ’-the fall, orburned by tho burning oars, wer$ held down by the wreck and drdwnad before they could ba extricated. It is impossible,at present to learn the name of one of the killed, except the baby «f Mrs Bradley.It is known there were a largo number of Eastern people on tho train. It is said the seven coaches were all well filled. The express messenger for tho Atmrican ExpressCo. is missing. Eleven p. m.—A special train with phy sicians, nurses and everything necessary for tho comfort of tbo wounded hft UnionDepot nt 10 p. m. Tho weather is still growing colder at Ashtabula, and onlyfour bodies so far have been taken from thedebris. Mary Frame, Rochester N. Y. was fatally injured. It is estimated that there were 175 pasoanzers on tho train. Atleast one-third of Utoso were killed, burned or frozen to death The train was drawn by two engines, one engine remained onthe bridge evorythiag cho went down. Tho engineer and firdban on the engine that went down, wore badly, but not seriously injured. Tho work of removing tlio dead bodiesstill goes on vory s’owly. 12.29 a. m.—The weather at Ashtabula is growing colder. The wreck is stillburning. No more has boon recovered. It is impossible to tell tho names of the killed. Tholist ot Wounded will be swelled considerably. The public and privatehouses-aro thrown open to the wounded and desolate. 12:45 a. m.—As near as can bo ascertained, fifty-two persons .were winndsd; how many escaped unhurt it is impossible to find ont. At this hour it is reportedthat the firo is still burning, but going down fust. An express car was smashedto splinters and is now burning. Tho trainis known as the Pacific Express. Th»re There were six coaches, and one or two drawing-room cars. A special train withsurgeons, stretchers, blankets etc., which left hero at 10:30, was drawn by two on- gines, but owing to tho deep snow on thetrack it was two hour* getting to Paines ville, thirty miles from hero, and exactly ha’f way between Cleveland and Ashta bula.1:20 a. m.—The wreck hap now burneddown, but it will bo daylight before m^rli . can be done towards getting ont tbo dead.ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. A special from Ashtabula, Ohio says thewrecked train had eleven cars, includingone drawing-room car, three sleepers ono smoking car, two first-class coaches, and t fonr bazgngo and express cars. It was drawn by two engines. Tho sevon passen- |ger coaches ultozother contained about 1651 adults, besides d number ot children. In 1 tbo drawing-room xor, bound for Clove- * land, wore nine persons, all of whom aro I supposed to have perished by drowning orfire. In tho two sleepers bound for Cbica- , go, there wore thirty-fivo passengers, and those in the forward car aro saved, with injuries more or !• ss severe. Within avery fow moments after the crash tbo 1 flames burst oat simultaneously from al- i most evny car. Daniel McGuire engineer of the forwardengine, relates that the train was running r at a slow rate, and just as they had fairly crossed the high bridge, which is not more1 than forty rod* distant from tho depot they i felt a violent jar, and in an instant ihe■ coupling between the two engines hadbroken, and the whole train was thrown with the bridge into tho river, some sixty feet bolow. McGuire says that his engine’ was pulled back nearly to the edge of the broken span before the coupling severed, ana i» refined its motion bar??.’ in time to save itself. Tho bridge over Ashtabula river wak an iron truss bridge, and had■ been in use about eleven years. A crowd soon made their way to tbe burning debris and with the aid of axos and ropes manywere extricated, placed on stretchers n.id taken to lite top of tho hill were tho best of assistance awaited them. The hotelsat the depot wore soon filled, and private , houses were thrown open throughout tho town.
