At the meeting on Saturday last some of tho speakers to< k particular pains to impress upon the assem­ blage of factorymcn and buyers present that it was not the intention to anyway in­ terfere with tho Ingersoll cheese market, while others, not such adept* in dissimula­ tion, were more oulspoken and in giving vent to their animosity, characterized the Ingersoll market as a hole-and-corner af­ fair and hoped they wonld not have a repe- tion of it in London. These speakers cer­ tainly displayed anything but a knowledge of the manner in which the Ingersoll mar­ ket is conducted or they wonld not have so forgotten th*mselves to mako such un­ seemly expressions. If, in their occasional visits they have not been able to find out ovary transaction that has taken place on the market, and every factoryman who has mode a rule and every buyer who has made a purchase has not come out and blalently announced it, they must not bo Birprised. Business men, ns a rule, are reticent iu matterc of business and where there is as much competition ns there hns been in the cheese business it is naturally to be expected. Factirymen who come to the market can post themselves ns to the true market value of their go' ds nnd if they are prepared to sell at such figures they will generally find purchasers. The business of tbc market is not carried on ns a public auction, bnt ss nil other markets aro — it is n gathering of buyers did tellers, and there is no compul­ sion to mako their transactions public. If Londoners can show us any better system of management wo should like to eno it, but from past experionc* in that city wo have very little faith that any improvement will bo made, nnd wo have our doubt if it does not prove, as a London man publicly termed it nt tho Ingersoll market, on the 15tb, “ a fizzle." It may do very well in London to berate tho Ingersoll market, nnd they have a perfect right, nnd our con­ sent, to establish one ; but, when it comes to saying that it is not established in jeal­ ousy, an<l that it is not intended to injure tlio Ingersoll market, then wo doubt the sincerity of such assertions. Whether tho Ingerscdl market is a hole-and-corner affair or not, one thing is certain, the Ingersoll market is tlio only one. past or present, which issues a printed Bnllj'.iu of its trail- sactious and proceedings.

This Secretary is very much annoyed over tho exposure of certain circulars, issued to tho Reform Associations of tho Province, which were intended to be kept strictly private. This so agitates this gentleman that ho publishes a circular (not private.) issued by tho Conservative Association in South Oxford, iu February last, calling upon its members to be on tho alert to wa tab the voters' lists, and in fact a general plan of operation preparatory lo an election. Mr. Sentinel attempts to criticise this circular. From tbo fact that each member of the as­ sociation is called upon to contribute 50c., Mr. Sentinel thinks that tbo funds are ex­ panded to keep up a “ dictatorship." Let bim remember that tho Conservative Asso- THE CZAB TO THK FRONT. New York, May 20, 4 a. m.—ThoHerald Ims the following from Loudon "A deep <*cb from St. Petersburg states thatthe Czar will start for the headquarters of tbo army on the 21st inst., arriving on the 25th or 28th. He will be accompanied bythe Czaro witch. It is believed Iris arrival will coincide with tho commencement of operations on the Danube by the Russians,whose concentration is nearly completed. Prince Charles, of Roumaniu has been no­tified of the advent of the Czar CROSSING THE DANUBE. Tho Herald's Vienna correspondent states that during the Czar's visit to Bu­charest tho Russians will attempt crossing Che Danube at four points ou the sameday. THE WHOLE ARMY TO BE READY. The Grand Duke Nidiolss has ordered the whole anny to bo ready for action nextweek. All strategic points have been ta­ ken up. RESERVES TO THS FRONT. Fcnrteen trains bringing reserves to thefront leave Kiew daily. GRAND DUKE NICHOL VS TO TAKE THE FIELD. A Bncharest dispatch slates that the Grand Duke Nicholas will transfer Iris headquarters to Bucharest on Sunday mor­ning. The princo has offered him his sum­ mer palace, hut ho will probably stay nttho Russian mission, while Iris immediate suit and staff will bo lodged nt Cotroceni. He is expected to remain there about fiveweeks, by which time three army corps will probably bo formally established iu Bulgaria, when bo will definitely take tho field. THE CZAROWITCn A SPECTATOR. The Czarowitch is also announced to ar­ rive in Bucharest shortly, when she will witness tbo crossing of the Danube. THE RUSSIAN NAVY. The Herald correspondent at Vienna tolegranlis that tho Ministerial paper, thePolitical Currespondenz publishes n»ws from Mesopotamia, stating that a Russian man-of-war has been taking a mndings intho Persian Gulf. Heneo it is concluded that tho Russian Pacific squadron may cmiso in that direction, instead of np tboMediterranean. A correspondent nt Rome telegraphs ns foiloas :—Fifty Russian naval officers andsailor* passed through Rome to-day, on their way to join tho Russian ships at Spezzia in consequence of an accident totheir vessels nt Naples. MASSACRES BY THE RUSSIANS. Telegrams from Constantinople state that the Russians are committing frightful massacres in Caucasus. RUSSIANS REPULSED. An Erzoroum spacial of Saturday, iu de­ scribing the first attacks of Ardnhan, says the efforts of the Russians commenced withheavy artillery fire, followed by impetuous infantry attacks, which were repulsod withgreat slaughter. , The tmops were led back to the assault, after each failure until night stopped thecarnage.

The abuse and vituperation which tl Q ; Ministerial organs hurl nt Sir John Mnc- i donnld and Iris followers mixed up with tbc s wasbey twaddle with which they beilavi r 1 tho placemen who at preyent hold scats I on the Treasury benches is looked upon i by the intelligent reader with contempt and 1 ridicule. It is about time this sort of tiring i wax stopped, and if the country is to be itn- < proved through th* influence of respectable i journalism wo think no better opportunity < than the present could bo had for a refer- < mution iu Uris respect. Whatever faults ' the Reform party m.ly have fettml in Sir i John sal Iris Government, it is quite evident, notwithstanding the promises they made on going into power, they have neither attempted to redeem those promises nor to improve on the state of things which existed prior to th«ir accession to office. They have been found truculent and sub­ servient solely to their own interests, ignoring tho necessities of the times and the exigencies of the country. When they have been brought to book tbeir only reply has been—“Well, you did the same"— What sort of a reply is that fer a party who rode into power on the nobly-horse of morality and purity? and what is the record ot this party of moral idea* ? Dur­ ing the four short years iu wbiob they have held the reips of Government, they have besmirched .our historical record with gross infractions of tho Independence of Parliament by awarding fat printing con­ tracts to Mr. Anglin speaker of the House, who above all others should have been kept i free from ouch polutiou. Without authority tho Premier has bought largo quantities of |steel rails, at a high price, and they were purchased through a firm of which bis brother, Charlo* Mackenzie, v m a . partner. Tho country loose* a large earn of money by the transaction and another , blot i* placed on our fair escutcheon. , Norris ha* to go to bi* oonstitaent* to b* white-washed because hi* firm received co □ Intel* to carry those rail*. Then there ia lha Foster and Georgian Bxy job, ibe Fort Fmncujob, and Senator Simpeon and hi* Big-Posh business, all blackening our character m a country and making us bold our head ia ahamo among the nation* of the world. To th*** we are compelled to add the iner**** of taxation, tho increase of d*bt, the inevrsM* in civil service expen­ diture, and a eonaeqnent deerMoe in our general and national prosperity. Was it for thi* the Government was taken fcom th* band* of Sir John Macdonald and the able sUtocnMu who aamnnd him ? No I False men made false promise* and the people were gulled into voting fer them, and now that they have shown their hand* ■o plainly they mwt give way for truer and pay the expense. He ottcinpU to show ] that Mr. Well*, the Secretary of the Asso- j ?ia tiin (l|0 Siuth Ridin**, is closely con- » nected with tho Government, because be 1 says in tlft “ circular ’’ that " tho voters’ ‘ list next finally passed will undoubtedly ( be the oue from which ths voters will be selected to vote at the next general election." ' Mr. Wells and any other clear-sighted man, whether Reformer or Conservative, can’t help but see that tho Government is almost through squandering tho (hard- earned) money of thi* Dominion, and it don't follow that bociuso Mr. Wells called upou the association to be vigilent, that bo is in any way couneclo d with tbo Govern­ ment. We will tell you, Mr. Sentinel, just huw close Mr. Wells and the Conservative Darty are connected with tbo affairs of state. They aro so closely after them that the Grit* don't have time to cover up their track*, and they intend to pursue until they drive thou* from power. Ho brings another insinuation forward to try and saow that Mr. W«U* ia in league with tho Reformers, tamely, the Kuministiquia laud job. Mr. Wulls is too well knou^in thi* county for matter* of tbia kind to effect him. Hi* connections in the land job was purely a business transaction, and that, before be was elected Secretary of the As­ sociation in this Biding. He, with other*, owned land in that *ee.ion, and be, with others, sold to tho Government. If the Government paid the same price nil through Mr. Well* was jmtifisd in sharing with tho rest, for bi* land wm worth ** muob as hi* neighbors*. Mr. StniinMl *alls upon , Mr. McKenzie to explain why he allow* a Conservative Secretary to reap each bene- r fits. While he is calling, let him also ask i Mr. McKenzie why he allowed woman and i children to own land* up there—for they i did. It is plain to be seen that lbs Reform i Secretary baa not been a* highly appro, r elated by the Grit* a* be anticipated, eon- . Mqucntiy be can't help but show bis jo*], i ousy. Bight hero, Mr. Sentinel, let us advi»* you not to M slop over," for if the Grit* don't feed you, you ne*d not look to the CouMrvaiiv** to give you anything to do—they aro looking for a different class of men. Mr. Sentinel eoneludea Li* ramark* by saying that th* Conservative* in th* South Biding d***rv* erodit tor their oourag*,— and *o they do, and wo firmly believ* that in Canada, when anything deserves esadii, it will get it. Russians brought up columns of infantry. ‘ The Ottoman commnndnr drow together 1 large bodies of troops behind the rampart* ‘and launched a tremendous sortie upon ’ tho Russian flank and rear, under tlio shock of which tho enemy retreated Into adisadvantazeous position.

Pbeliminaby meetings have been held in Loudon for the establiahmmt ofn ch’cse niork-t in that city. At the meeting on Saturday last some of the speakers tor k particular pains to impress upon the assem­ blage of fuctorymcn and buyers present that it was not the intention to anyway in- terforo with the Ingersoll cheese market, while others, not such ndeptn in dissimula­ tion, were more outspoken and in siting vent to their animositj*. characterized the Ingersoll market ns a hole-and-corner af­ fair and hoped they would not have a repe­ tion of it in London. These speakers cer­ tainly displayed anything but a knowledge of the manner in which the Ingersoll mar­ ket is conducted or they would not have so forgotten themselves to make such un­ seemly expressions. If, in their occnsianal visits they have not baen able to find out every transaction that has taken place an the market, and every factoryman who has made a sale and every buyer who lias made a purchase has not come out and blatentiy announced it, they must not be s trprised. Business men, as a rule, are reticent iu matterc of business and where there is ns much competition ns there has been in tho cheese business it is naturally to be expected. Factorymen who come to the market can post themselves ns to the true market vnlno of their go^ds and if they are prepared to sell at such figures they will generally find purchasers. Tbe busintss of tbe market is not carried on ns a public auction, but as all other markets aro — it is a gathcrins of buyers ahd sellers, and there is no compul­ sion to mako their transactions public. If Londoners can show us any better system of management wo should like to see it, but from pnst experience in that city wo have very little faith that any improvement will be made, and wo havo our doubt if it does not prove, as a London man publicly termed it nt tho Ingersoll market, on tbe 15tb, “ a fizzle.” It may do very well in London to berate the Ingersoll market, and they have a perfect right, and our con­ sent, to establish one ; bnt, when it comes to saying that it is not established in jeal­ ousy, ami that it is not intendel to injure the Ingersoll market, then wo doubt lhe sincerity of such assertions. Whether tho Ingersoll market is a hole-and-corner affair or not, one thing is certain, the Ingersoll market is tho only one. past or present, which issues a printed Bulhtiu of its tran­ sactions and proceedings.

G flakin; Heady.” THE CZAR TO TUB FRONT. New York, May 20,4 a. m.—ThoHerald 1ms the following from London :—”A deep >»ch from St. Petersburg states thatthe Czar will start for the headquarters of tbe army on the 21st inst., arriving on tbe25th or 26th. Ho will be accompanied by th* Czarevitch. It ia believed his arrival will coincide with tho commencement ofoperations on the Danube by tbo Russians,whose concentration is nearly completed. Prince Charles, of Itoumanin, has been no­tified of the advent of the Czar CROSSING THE DANUBE. Tho Herald's Vienna correspondentstates that during the Czar’s visit to Bu­ charest the Russians will attempt crossing the Danube at four points ou the sameday. THE WHOLE ARMY TO DE READY. The Grand Duke Nicholas has orderedthe whole army to bo ready for action next week. All strategic points havo been ta­ken up. RESERVES TO THE FRONT. Fourteen trains bringing reserves to the front leivo Kiew daily. GRAND DUKE NICHOL \3 TO TAKE THE FIELD. A Bucharest dispatch slates that the Grand Duke Nicholas will transfer hisheadquarters to Bucharest on Sunday mor­ ning. Tho princo has offered him his sum­ mer palace, but ho will probably stay attho Russian mission, while his immediate suit and staff will be lodged nt Cotroceni. He is expected to remain there abont fiveweeks, by which time three army corps will probably bo formally established iu Bulgaria, when bo will definitely take thofield. THE CZAROWITCH A SPECTATOR. The Czarowitch is also announced to ar­ rive in Bucharest shortly, when she will witness tho crossing of tbe Danube. THE RUSSIAN NAVY. The Herald correspondent nt Vienna tolegrauhs that tho Ministerial paper, thoPolitical Correspotxlenz publishes news from Mesopotamia, stating that a Russian man-of-war has been taking soundings intho Persian Gulf. Heneo it is concluded that tho Russian Pacific squadron may ertiiso in that direction, instead of np theMediterranean. A correspondent nt Rome telegraphs ns follows :—Fifty Russian naval officers andsailors passed through Romo to-day, on their way to join tho Russian ships nt Spezzia in consequence of an accident totheir vessels at Naples. MASSACRES BY THE RUSSIANS. Telegrams from Constantinople state that tbe Russians are committing frightfulmassacres in Caucasus. RUSSIANS EEPULSED. An Erzeroum special of Saturday, iu da- scribing tbo first attacks of Arduhan, saysthe efforts of tbe Russians commenced with heavy artillery fire, followed by impetuous infantry attacks, which were repulsed withgreat slaughter. Tho troops wore led back to tbe assault, after each failure until night stopped thocirnago. RETREAT OF THE RUSSI ANS I ROM AN AT­ TACK ON KARS.

The abuse and vituperation which ll q ; Ministerial organs hurl nt Sir John Mac- i donahl and bis followers mixed up with tbo * wasbey twaddle with which they beslav<r 1 the placemen who at prerent hold neats I on the Treasury benches ia looked upon i by the intelligent reader with contempt and ridicule. It is about time this rort of thing i was stopped, ami if the country is to be im- < proved through th* influence of respectable i journalism wo think no better opportunity < than the present could bo had for a refor- i mation iu this respect. Whatever faults the Reform part}’ m.ly have found in Sir John and hit Government, it is quite evident, notwithstanding the promises they made on going into power, they have neither attempted to redeem those promises nor to improve on tno state of things which existed prior to th«ir accession to office. They bare been found truculent and sub* servient solely to their own interest*, ignoring the necessities of the times and the exigencies of the country. When they have been brought to book their only reply has been—“Well, you did the same”— What sort of a reply is that for a party who rode into power on th* nobly-horse of morality and purity? and what is the record of this party of moral ideas ? Dur- ing the four short yea's iu whieh they have held tho reins of Government, they have besmirched ,our historical record with gross infractions of the Independence of Parliament by awarding fat printing con­ tracts to Mr. Anglin tpcaker of the House, who above all others should have boon kept i tree from such polutiou. Without authority the Premier has bought large quantities of steel rails, at a high price, and they were purchased through a firm of which bis brother, Charles Mackeniie, was a . partner. The country loows a large sum of mousy by tho transaction and auothar B blot is placed on our fair escutcheon. >, Norris has to go to his constituents to ba white*washed bee oom his firm received contracts io carry those rails. Then there is the Foster and Georgian B%y job, the Fort Francis job, and Senator Simpson and his Big-Posh btrnnoM, all blackening our character as a country and making ue hold our head in shams among the nations of the world. To those wo are compelled to add the inersass of taxation, the inerease of debt, the increase in civil serrice expen­ diture, and a aoneeqnoni decrease in our genera) and national prosperity. Was it for thia the Government was taken from the bands Sir John Macdonald and the able statosmon who oamnnd him ? No 1 False men mode foies protuisee and the people wen gulled into voting for them, end now that they have shown thoir bands eo plainly U»y must give way for truer and A short distance east of tbo Bcacbvillo limo kilns there is edited a paper called tbe Sentinel, owned by tho Secretary of tho Reform Association of Ontario. This Secretary is very much annoyed over the exposure of certain circulars, issued to tho Reform Associations of tho Province, which were intended to be kept strictly private. This so agitates tbi* gentleman that he publishes a circular (not private.) issued by tho Conservative Association in South Oxford, in February last, calling upon its members to bo on tbo alert to wa tch the voters’ lists, and in fad a general plan of operation preparatory to an election. Mr. Sentinel attempts to criticise this circular. From tbe fact that each mombei of tho as­ sociation is called upon to contribute 50c., Mr. Sentinel thinks that tbo funds are ex­ panded to keep up a “ dictatorship.’’ Let him remember that tho Conservative Asso­ ciation has no Grit Government behind it. UI.UI^UUB ,u kUD illrRlsll uauenes repneu. saying whatever you do is all right, wo will I Tho fine! was vigorous!}’ maintained till th- pay the oxpons*, He attempts to show T ‘ c L‘ ' ' that Mr. Wells, tbo Secretary of tho Asso- | ;iati;n in tho Smth Ridiny, is closely con- i neded with tho Government, because bo 1 says in lift ” circular " that " tho voters’ ’ list next finally p.-isscd will undoubtedly , bo the ouo from which ths voters will bo selected to vote at tbe next general election.” ' Mr. Wells aud any other clear-sighted 1 man, whether Roiormor or Conservative, can't help but see that tho Government is almost through squandering tho (hard- earned) money of this Dominion, and it don't follow that bociusa Mr. Wells called upou the association to be vigilent, that be is in any way counocto d with tho Govern­ ment. Wo will tell you, Mr. Sentinel, just how close Mr. Wells and tho Conservative , party are connected with the affairs of i state. They are so closely after them that i the Grits don't have limo to cover up their , tracks, and they inteud to pursue until . they drive thorn from power. He brings , another insinuation forward to try and 1 s-row that Mr. Wells is in league with tho r Reformers, ramely, tho Knmiuisliqnia ! land job. Mr. Weils is too well knoi^kin thia county for matters of this kind to effect him. His oonneotions iu tha laud job was purely a business trauSMtion, aud that, before he was elected Secretary of the As­ sociation in this Riding. He, with others, owned land in that seo.ion, and be, with others, sold to the Government. If the Government paid the same price nil through Mr. Wells wm justified in sharing with the reel, for hie laud was worth as much as hi* ueighbor*'. Mr. Sentinel tails upon Mr. McKenzie to explain why he allows a Conservative Secretary to reap such bene­ fits. While he i* calling, let him also ask Mr. McKeusia why he allowed women and children to own lands up there—for they did. It ia plain to be seen that the Reform Secretary has not been as highly appre­ ciated by tbe Gnts a* he anticipated, oon- eoquontly he can't help but show his jeal­ ousy. Right here, Mr. Sentinel, let us advise yon not to “ elop over," for if tho Grite don't feed yon, you need not look to the Conservative* to give you anything to do—they are looking for a different class of men. Mr. Sentinel conclude* hi* remark* by ' saying that tbe Conservative* in th* South Riding deserve credit tor their courage,— i and so they do, and we firmly believe that in Canada, when anything deserves credit, • it will get it. Cptnrty of Oxford IhLki* [continued.] The following is a continuation of thocases disposed of at the Assize* closed at Woodstock, on Wednesday last, haringbeen twelve davs in session : Queen vs. Manly,—On Friday morning Wm. Manly, who had previously beentried and acquitted on a charge of setting fire to Slight’s mill, was brought np for trial on n second charge of setting fire tothe pattern shop at the Woodstock Iron Works, which was destroyed by fire on tbemorning of tho 27th of February. F. R. Ball, Q. C., conducted tin case for the Crown, aud II. B. Beard Q. C., for the de­fense.

Rapwn in tho sum of 9'250, that ho appears at the next Assize*, to answer to the Bill of indicluaeut foundagainst him in this matter. Tbo Grand Jurors mido their present­ ment as follows and were discharged : We have visited tbo gaol and found the prisoners well satisfied with their treat­ ment, and everything negt and clean, audin tbo best order. It was suggested how­ ever, by a prisoner, that it would be bet­ ter if tho buckets iu connection with thewater closets were emptied twice a day in­ stead of every morning ns at present. Wo tender your Lordship and tho CrownCounsel our tbnuks for tho kind and obli­ ging manner iu which you have afforded us the information and assistance necessaryto the performance of our duties.

Some successful experiments in blowing up the roots of trees with dynamite have recently J>een made on the Darlington Sewage Farm, where 200 trees had been felled, many of which were of great size, and would, under the ordinary methode of dealing with them—by burying or removal —havo proved very trduBleeomo and ex­ pensive. Before firing the chargee, ex­ planations were given of the character of dynamite, and a cartridge was thrown down, broken, and then burned to show tUt it could be safely handled unless ex­ posed to a heat of 440 °, which is impos­ sible to obtain by ordinary moans. The dynamite charge was placed iu bored holes, a specially prepared detonating cartridge with a fuse attached was then inserted, and the bole closed np with earth. In about throe minutes after lighting the explosion took place, and the air was immediately filled with pieces ot wood of various sizes, which showed how effectually tbo stump bad been removed. Another experiment was the blowing up of a small ash tree. Two charges were inserted under the roots, and the tree rose in the air.

Dorsey, Gillespie, 1 III.,) set out a mile and a quarter of hedge plants, eight inches apart, consequently using nearly 10,000 plants. I ploughed the ground the fall before and again in the spring, as I wanted to set out my plants as soon as tho ground would permit plough­ ing. The sooner tho plants arc set out tbo better growth they will make tho first sea­ son, as tho ground settles around them, RDd they get a good start during tho wet season. I only manured my hedge-rows wlmrs there were “ scalds ” in them.

So long m the Notwithstanding the low price of butter , and the prospects of no better rates for cheese than last year, the price for milch cows hrs ruled high and npt in proportion to the pros- , pcctivc value of dairy products. Milch cows in Herkimer County have been selling from $45 to $60 and extra animal* at even higher rates, and drovers claim in many instances, to t have lost money by selling at these figures. c Dairymen, at first, refused to buy, knowing (that nothing could be made on cows purchas- J ed at these prices ; but as tho season advanced the necessity for filling up herds induced many to yield to tho situation, buying spar- , ingly, and perhaps not more than half the ] number needed. I The reason for tho high prices is plain ' enough when one goes abroad and attempts j to pick up a lot of desirable milch cows ; for ; he will then discover that are by no i means abundant ; and that those who have good cows will not part with them except at good round prices. Aud we are not likely to see any change from this condition of affa rs for some time to come, because the demand for milch stock is increasing annually in a ra­ tio greater than the supply. That ia to say, a i our population increases, tho increase of milch stock is not sufficient to keep up the ratio between the two. This, naturally must have a tendency to keep up prices ; but the addition of another element will still further point its influence in this direction. The recent exportation of American meats and liv« stock has demonstrated that wc a: c to have a new outlet for these products which mast, in the future, draw materially upon the Ct tic resources of tho country, and Western cows will be needed to supply home wants rather than bo shipped East at low prices. As the difficulty of obtaining first-class dairy­ stock is greater from year to y'flar with the prospect of a still further scarcity in the mar­ kets, stock-raising among dairymen, it seems tons, becomes an imperative necessity. Many dairymen in New York, havo abandoned stock-raising, under tho impression that it docs not pay. This may have been true a few years ago, when cows were no higher than they arc to-day, while dairy products brought a third more money. It is quite different now, and we think dairymen must find a fair profit in raising stock, especially if some attention be paid to breeding an extra class of milkers. At the present price of dairy products, there cm be no money in milk from poor cows, but with large milkers there ia still a fair margin of profit to bo obtained. The necessity, then, for breeding stock that can bo made to yield a large product, is imperative, and from tbs stand point irrespective of other considerations the Dairyman must find it to his advantage to raise stock rather than to depond on purchas­ ing. As the price of beef advances, the practice adopted by the dairymen of England can bo followed with advantage here, and that is to turn all anlipals that fail in milk or are unfit ted for the dairy into beef. Many persons make a business, and a good business too, in fattening animals for the shambles. They go among our dairymen early in the season, purchasing dry stock or such as from accident 1 have failed in milk. These animals are col­ lected together and tamed upon good pastur­ age where they gain in flesh and are ready for the butcher from time to time, during the Summer, or they may bo finished off with meal so as to bring good prices. Now if a handsome profit can be made in this way, why should not the Dairymail feed such stock on his farm and havo the benefit of it, rather than sell his refuse animals at prices that do not pay for their winter keep, allowing the grazier to take all tbo profit 1 The English Dairyman always has an eye to , Meat as well as to milk. Bis dairy cows are ■ turned before they get old an 1 worn out, and > at an age when the au mi’s may b> readily [ fattenedaud all da’ry stock is ma le into beef , upon the farm after performing th* allotted j service in the dairy. In this way low on tho t animals ia not only obviate 1, but they are made to realize a handsome profit. We should be glad to ,soe more attention ’ paid to the raising of stock in the Dairy dis­ tricts, and if every Dairyman would make it ' a point to raise all the stock needed from year ‘ to year, to keep up bis herd, with an occasion- al dairy cow to sell, from time to time, he ■ would find it to his advantage and we are - covineed that the time i* not distant when t necessity will compel this coarse to be gener- t ally adopted.—Rural AW Yo^er. to frown Faurfar* Journal. aww eengMiial to wanda mada in grafting THE OXFORD TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1877. meadow, and in favor of the gross, though a little grass seed or clover or both sown at the time, would still further favor the grass and help it to smother and crowd ont the weeds. 8o with our grain fields—push tho grain with manure and lhe weeds will find but little chance to spread. The grains are done with iu a year ; but tho weeds continue—aud how persistently every farmer knows. Their seeds will har­ bor in the soil when wo know it not, and unexpectedly make their appearance. Good farming is a euro to all this ; and if an ob­ stinate field should occur, summer fallow it so that no weed sees tho light; and thereafter use clean seed, or, what is about equivalent to it, pul the land to hoed crops, giving clean culture throughout tho season. There is all tho difference in the world as to this last point. Some land is all tho dirtier for being pnt to hood crops. It is the neglected fields that we sometimes see, where tho corn is overcome by tho woods, which grow all the thriftier now that the ground is plowed and occupied by them un­ molested. They are suffered to grow still larger among potatoes, and what a chance to resow tho land w th weeds! Keep the cultivator going as long as tho crop will permit of the passage of Tiorse and imple­ ment between the rows. Then use the > hoe. in this way it naeds but a few years to clean a farm. And when this is done a I Herculean job is accomplished, and with a good crop’of corn or whatever may be grown in tho bargain, paying more than t’ie expense of labor—the more labor the better tho crop. This can really bo done and a revelation in farming would result 1 It is the weed i that are the Lane of oui farming. NO Thomas’ Edectric O'.l ! IFortA Ten Times it H'eijjht in Gold.

OlgA and her titothw generally slept quite late, and con- 1sequently Bogina now look-d forward withdread.to tbo tete-evdete awaiting her next mocning. 1 A few days subsequent to the Sunday cRttsrooon on which her guardian had so ■ unexpectedly accompanied her to churchebe bad beca pleasantly surprised by find- 1 ing iu the library a handsome Mason & Hamlin parlor organ ; ou which lay a slipof paper, expressing Mr. Pulma’* desire I that she would consider it exclusively hers, I —and sometimes play upon it for him.But an unconquerable timidity and repng nance to usiog tbe instrument when he was tat home, bad prevented a compliance with ythe request, which was rever repeated. » To-night tbo thought of tho organ ' brought dear and comforting memories,aud feeling quite secure from intrusion she s went down to the library. As usual tbe 1room was bright and comfortable as gasand anthracite could make it, aud foiling s (to observe a.sudden movement of the cur- <!' tains hanging over the recess bebiud tho writing-desk, Regina entered, closed tho door and ttalked up to the glow-ing grate.Beneath her mother's portrait sat the 1 customary floral offering, which on this oc­ casion consisted of double white aud blue cviolets,—and standing a while on tbe t hearth, tbo girl gazed up at tho picture with mournful longing tenderness. Could that proud lovely face ever have owned as i husband the coarssr, meaner, aud degraded ' clay, who that afternoon had dared with taacrilegion* presumption to speak of her as 1 •‘Minnie” ? What was the mystery.—and upon twhom must rest the blame,—possibly tbo 1life-long shame ? i ' Not you, dear, sad-eyed mother. Lot I tbo whole world condemn, deride and de- y spue ns, but only yonr own lips shall teach : xne to doubt you. Evervtiling eke maycrumble beneath me,—all may drift away; 1 but faith and trust iu mother shall stand < fast—as Jacob’s ladder, Jinking me withthe angels who will surely come down its <golden rounds and 'comfort mo. Ob, mo­ ther ; tbe time has come when you aud I ;must clasp band* and fight tbo battle to­ gether ;—and Gixl will be merciful to tbe < right-’ »Staudiog there in her blue casbmern dress, relieved by dainty collar and cuffs ef i Jace, slie seemed indeed uo longer a young ;almost childish girl,—but one who bad pas­ sed the threshold and entered the mysteri­ ous realm of early womanhood.Rather below than above tuedium heighther fijura war exquisitely m raided, and tho beautif il heap w.is prised ou the shoul­ders with that indescribable proud grace, one sometimes sees in perfect marble sculp­ ture. But the delicate woful CEoono face,as white aul gleaming under it* shining coil of ebon hsir, as n statue carved from tbs heart of Lygdo*.—h>w *liall merewords ever portray • its peculiar loveliness, its faultless purity? Unconsciously she bad paused in the exact position sel-ctedfor that beautiful figure of “Faith” wfich Palmer bus given to tho world ; and stand­ing with drooping clasped hands, and up- lifted eyes gazing npbn her ruothcr's por­ trait, as th* “Faith ’ looks to tho lonely-cross above her,—the resemblance in form and features was so striking, thutall who have studied th^t exquisite marble canreadily recall tho countenance of the girl in tbe library.Turning away, she opened the organ, drew out the stops, and began to play. As the soft yet sacredly solemn strains rolled through the long ro< m, ballowrd as­sociations of tbe old parsonage life floated up, clustering like familiar faces around her. Once more she beard the ccoing of. ring-doves in the honeysuckle, and th^ loved voices—now silent in death—or far,far away, among tho palms □/ India.4 Cast thy burden oa the Lord,* hadbeen one of their favorite selections tut V— and now hoping for comfort she sang itIt was tbe first time aha had attempted it since the evening before the storm, when Mr. Lindsay bad sung it with her, whileMr. Hargrove softly hummed the l ass, as be walked up aud down tbe verandah, with bis arm on his sister’s shoulder.How many holy memories rushed like a flood over her heart and soul, burying for atime the hitter experience of to-day IUnable to conclude tbe song she leaned back in bur ehair, and gave way to the tears-tbat rolled swiftly down her dieeke. Bo wan and bopeleM was her fuco, tha t Mr. Palma, watching her from tho curtain­ed alcove, came quickly forward.

I am very sorry thatmy house is not a happy home for my ward. Have you beeu subjected to anyannoyances from the members of mv house-hol.l ?' 4 None—whatever. All arc kind and con­ siderate. But I can never bo satisfied tillI see my mother. I shall write to-uigbt, imploring her “permission to join her iu Europe, and I beg that you will please uieyour influence in favor of my wishes. Ob Sir I do help me to go to iny mother.' Hi* smile froze,—his fuco hardened ; andhe led l.er to a low sofu capable of seating only- two persons, and drawn near the fire. * Madamu Orm* does uot want herdaughter yet.’ 4 But 1 want tuy mother.

But you can’t takemother’s place in my heart.’ * I assure yon little girl, I do not want your mother's place.'Something peculiar in his tone, arrested her notice, and lifting her largo lovely eyes she met bi* searching gaze. -That is right,keep yonr eyes *o, fixed steadily on mine, while I discharge a rather jielicato and cm- bnrrnsing duty, which sometimes devolvesupou the grim guardian* of pretty young ladies. Iu your mother's absence I am supposed to occupy a quaei parentalposition toward you; and am the authorized custodian of your secret*,—shouldyon, like most persons of your ago, chance to posses* any. Your mother, you are nwnre, invested mo with this right asher vice-gerent, consequently you mustpaid m the inquisition into the state of , yonr affections, which just n-*w I am com- rpolled to make. Although I consider you i entirely too young for such grave proposi- ctiou*.—it is nevertheless proper that I tshould be the medium of their presentation (i when they become inevitable. Upon 'the (tender and very susceptible heart of Mr. , 1 Elliott Roscoe,-it appear*, that either with 4 malice prepense,' or else, let u*hope, (f iu innocent unconsciousness,—you have : been practising certain feminine wiles and , sorcery, which have so capsized his reason |that ho is incapacitated for attending to , 1 his business. When I remonstrated ;- against the lunacy into which ho was drift-; ing,—ho in very poetic and chivalric stylo, —which il is unnecessary to repeat here,— assured mo you were the element whichhad ntter’.y deranged bis celebrahequipoise. Elliott Roscoe is my cousin, is a young gentleman of good character, good mind,good education, good heart and good man­ ners,—and in duo time may command n very good income from his profession ; butjust now, in pecuniary matters, he could nut be considered a very brilliant match. Mr. Rpscoe informs mo that he desires aninterview with you to-morrow, for tho pur­ pose of offering you his heart and hand,—and while protesting on the ground of youryouth, I nave promised to communicate bis wishes to you, and should be be favor­ably received, write to your mother atonce.' Perplexed and confused, she had nit fully comprehended his purpose until houttered the closing sentence,—end painful Astonishment kept her silent—while as ifspellbound her gaze met his. 4 Now it remains forjou to answer ouo question. Should j»ur mother give hereousent, doos Miss Ilegiu* Orme intend to become my cousin ?*4 Oh never I You distress me -, vonought not to talk to me of such things? I nm *o young, you know mother would notapprove of it.’ Bh* blushed scarlet, and attempted to withdraw her han Is, but found it impos­sible. 1 Quite true, and, if erazy young gentle­ men could be prevailed noon to keepsilent,—rest assured I should never have broached a subject which I regard as prem­ ature. But while I certainly applaud yoursense, it is rather problemstica! whether I should feel gratified at yonr sc tn ma ry re­jection of an alliance witb my eourio. Are yon fully resolved that I shall never be re­ lated to yon, except aa your guardian ?'4 Yes, Sir. I do not wish to be your cousin.* Ones mon the smile shone ont suddenly,making sunshine in his face.4 Thank you. At what hour will you i aee Mr. Roscoe ?’4 At none. Firas* don’t let him eome I here, or speak to me on that subject; it I would be so extremely painful. I should f never meet him afterwards without feeling- dialreesed, and things would be intolerably diMMreeable. Flense Mr. Palma,—«hfoMme from it.' She involuntarily drew dnusr to him, •*if for protection, and noting tb*cnovement. he arofled, M d tightened tho clasp ot her hands.41 eaauot pooitivriy forbid him to ad drew you ou this terrible topic ; but, if you wish it, I will endeavor to disMadehim. Elliott has Palma blood in his vrina. aud that has oertsin unmistakable leaden wee to obstinacy,—-though its oooduet inI-ve affaire yst remains to be tested ; ba­ il tvren to me that if you aro ta eorBaw in til b matter beyond all possibility of resur­rection.’ 1 Then toil him whatever your judgmentdictates.’ 4 My judgment must be instructed by facts,—and the simple statement I proposemight involve grave consequence. Do you authorize me to close the discussion of this matter al once aud forever, by iufortningMr. Roscoe that you cannot entertain the thought of granting him au iuterviow,—be­ cause bi* .nit is hopeless from the fact thatyonr affection* aro already engaged V She was too much embarrassed by hispiercing merciless eyes, to notice that be slip ed one finger on the pulse al her wrist —K eping her hands firmly in his warmcksn;—or that ho leaned lower ns he spelts until bis noble massive head veryn"dtly approached hers. *1 c.nibt not a*k you to tell him that.

I have placed you on the witness stand, nm! my beryl tinted seal ring presses your p dm nt this instant. Befrank ; are yon not very deeply attached to ’Mr. Lindsay ?’Smklerly a burning flush bathed herbrow, she struggled to free her hands in order to hide her facr, from his glowing, probing eyes, but bis hold was unyieldingas a band of steel; and hardly conscious where she found shelter, she turned and pressed her check against his shoulder,striving to avoid that inquisitorial gaze. Sbo did not see his face grow white and stong, or Hint tho white teeth gnawed fh«•lower lip; but when he spoke bis voice was stern and indescribably icy.4 My ward should study her heart beforeshe empowers her guardian to consider it unoccupied property. You should nt least inform your mother th it it has become amere missionary- station.’ With her hot cheeks still hidden against his shoulder, she exclaimed :•Ni>, not You do not understand mo. I feel lo him, to Douglass, exactly- us I did when lie went nway.’* So 1 infer. Your fooling is sufficiently apparent.' • Not what you imagine. When he leftme I promised him I won! I always love him as I did then ; and I told him what was true—that I loved him next to mvm-ilher. But not os you mean—oh no ! If G-hI bad given mo a brother I should think of him exactly at I do of dear Douglass. Imiss bun very much—more than I can ex­ press, and I love him, and want to see him. But I novar had itnv o:h"r thought, exceptas bis adopted sister, until this raiment when you spoke, and it shocked, it almost liumili-ited me.

Rev. J. P. Hincks, Rector St Jamis' Church. I have examh'.ril with care, Mr. Wood'sbook on the natural liidory the Bible, and am ijlvl to add my testimony to that of utliersto its ex-xllcncy. It is a valuable contribution towards the preparation of the Sabbathschool teacher in his work of illustration inthe class. The general student of the Bible will find that reference to its pages will illumi­nate many an otherwise obscure passage. Wecannot have too many such helps, as the Bible lays all nature under tribute to emphasizeand simplify its history, doctrines and duties.The carefully compiled index referred to, alsothe alphabetically arranged list of living creatures makes the book pre eminently val­uable for reference. Jonx McEwen,Pastor of Hrskino Church. “ Woods Bible Animals ” deserve# a widecirculation. The mccbani<*al execution of the book i* in good style, while ite tlluatrationsand brief histories of animal#, birds and rep­ tile#, mentioned in the Bible, thro*» a clearlight on many passages, the meaning and force of which would otherwise escajMs thegeneral reader.

Dempsey,Baptist Minister. 1 have much pleasure in bearing testimonyto the excellence of the illustrated edition of“Wood’# Bible Animals” m an aid to the•turfy of the Bible. In a time when natural science occupies »uch a prominent field ofresearch, every effort made to attract thegleaner after knowledge, to the never-failingsupplies to be found in God’s Book must behailed with pleasure by every reader. Thereis science in the Bible that only sucheffort# as the Rev. J. G. Wood ha# made in his “Bible Animals" can bring to the surface,to make plain and enjayable many portionsnow uninteresting to the general reader. Thecontributions of Dr. McCnih on “Evolution" contain in a nutshell the theories of thsMo lent Scientists, and show wherein arise theconflict* with revealed troth.The “Research aad Travel in Bible Latvia’’ from the pea of the Rev.

A great deal of excitement was caused on the streets about noon to-dny by- therumor that the body ot AVm.Gayfer an em ployce iu the post-office here, who Ims been missing sinco tho 25th of October1-ifct, had been found iu tho bay. Tho ru­ mor turned out on inquiry to be perfectly correct. Soon after young Gayfer was misled bi# money affairs in tho post office were examined, thc«o having been foundperfectly straight ij, was inferred that he had drowned himself in consequence of a disappointment iu a love affair ; and thefinding of bi# hat in tho water near tbo wharf strengthened tbo belief. The buy •vaa thoroughly dragged at tho time, butall efforts to find the body vrero unavaila­ ble,.and tho fato of tlie young man remain­ed unsolved until to-day, when tho bodywas found floating in the bay by some raftsmen, who towed it to Beckett’# wharf.The head and features were so disfigured as to render identification impossible. The hat and coat were gone, but thepaut# and boots remained perfect. Tbo gloves stillremained on the hands, and as soon a# these were removed the rings on the fingers were nt once idenfifiad by Gayfer’s friends as those which th* unfortunate young mau was in th* habit of wearing.Th* remains wero buried iu HauiiUon on Sunday, by th* fraternity of Odd-Fel­lows of which he waa * member.
