Tho difference between the two parties in this re*pect is that the Opposition spend their own lime in going about tbo County, while the Ministerialists arousing up the time which the people nro paying them for, at a good price, to attend to their interests in tho departments of state, nt Ottawa. The time of Sir John Macdonald and those rtfcn have gone about the County with him is their own, and they bav;o aright to do with it ns they like, but the time uf Mr.Mackenzie, Mr. Mowatt, and many others who accompany them on their rounds, is paid for at the rate of from $5,000 to $3,033 per annum This money comes from tho pockets of Con­ servatives and Reformers alike, and wliat right have these men to squander the time which we pay them for at so high a price ? The Oppnsition is just ns useful an adjunct in conducting tbo affairs of the County as is the Ministry, <nd if the Ministerial cause requires public exposition, so does the cause of tba Opposition.

Woodstock does not appear to relii-b the high opinion which too County Council hrs of its increased prosperity and wealth (?). From tbo boasts which have appeared from time to time in tbo local papers of that town wo should have supposed that it had made wonderful strides the past year in advance ot tbo other towns in the County. Now, however, that they have to pay their pro­ portionate shore ol tbo assessment for such increase prosperity, wo find that they wtro only joking after all, aad that th ?y have not increased so much at they s kid they had. The Stnlincl whine* out that “ A " gross injustice has been done to AVoa l- stock by iht County Conned by raising '• lhebasis o(ourassessment about $283,030, •' while that of Ingersoll had been raised ocly the Domitvon Gov- BETWEEN “ $23,030, an! several of tbo other munici- 1 ‘ publics bad succeololia having theirs •• lowered.” 'Woodstock sbnuld be pr.utJ i of tho distinction. Surely, with tbialli- lional railway facilities, ths choeso in irk.d, the prospective cattle fairs, tho Into herso races, and other groat display* of outer­ prise, which they bars puffed up so much, they should be entitled to sem i considera­ tion. From the tone of our Woodstock contemporaries, wo, at ono time, actually thought they had been wakened up out of the long state of torpidity into which they had fallen, and that they wcro about to makuusoof tba many advantages which they possessed over Ingersoll, and by a little display of enterpriss woul 1 possibly leave us behind in tho raca. Now, how­ ever, wo aro assured that this is not tho case, and when it comes to paying the fee entailed to tho prestige which they si earnestly desire, and of which they have made their boasts, they have not got tho backbone to stump up tbo needful, but would slink out by s tying wo were only •• fooling,” Let’s hear no more of the wonderful progress which Woodstock has made. It has the County buildings and offices, and that gives it some importance, by laying lhe other towns and portions of lhe County tribute to ft. If it was mt for Ibis bolster the town would sink into insig­ nificance, so law that it would scarcely be ranked as a village in a short time. Tb i indomitable perseverance of tbo pot pl o of Ingersoll will ever make it a rising town, and notwithstanding the severe blow which it experienced five years ago, it is gratify­ ing te ere the County town kicking up al bill a balloo because wo are not taxed equa to them. Oar people, who have of late been holding up Woodstock to admiration, will surely feel chagrined at the babyish action of the County town in displaying such a want of staurfius. Zoa.0.

London Juno 25.—Runtsr’o Telegram Company has received the following fromErzerourn:—" After tho battle of Scodaken Juno 19th, the Turk# having fallen back onDelibaca, tho Russian left wing took pos­ session of Dolibabx P».« and fortified it. Tho Russian right wing having retired somewhat, Mukhtar Pasha telegraphed to Puchid Pasha, to join him with nine of th"twelve battalions forming tuo Turkisk leftwing. Mukhtar quitted his headquarters for Delibaba, to take command of tho Tur­kish right wing in person. Ou the follow- iug day he received reinforcements, whichraised the strength of the right wing to 19 battalion#, 2 cavalry regiment# and 8 bat­ teries. Several skirmishes were fought on Juno 20tb. On the 21st Mukhtar attackedtho pass, fighting lasting from 6 o’clock in tho morning to 8 in tbo evening. The Russian# were at first driven from theirpositions, bnt they afterwards recaptured them and attacked the Turkish positions on the heights. With tbo charges of tboinfantry and cavalry tho Turkish wards rallied and charged the Russians and drove them back. Tbo Turks then opened a ter­rible artillery fire end compelled the Rus­ sian# to fall back with heavy loss. TheTurk# acknowledge the lou of 400 killed and about the same number wounded. It is reckoned too Russian losses wcro atlea#t double.On the 25th Mukhtar again fought sev­ eral severe battles. The Russian cavalry wcro plated in entrenchments to act as in­fantry, bnt ultimately tho Turks drove them, and pursued them, toe Russians re­ treating in disorder as far as Zedican.The whole of too fighting lasted tbirtyy threc hours. The Turkish toss, accordingto the latest acconnte, wa# upwards of 2000and the Russian loss much heavier. The Turkish headquarters aro still ntZe win, where twenty-four battalions and two batteries occupy an excellent position, which is unassailable in front. On the 23rd16,000 began to advance against this posi­ tion. Tbo main body of thi# force is at Sariscamich, five hours march from Zewin,and its advance guard is at Yonitokoy. It is very probable a battle will bo fought in this quarter. The Turk# await assault, and if it is not attempted they will advanceand endeavor to crush this corps.

A writer ifrthc Philadelphia Time* say* it i* not to bo wondered at that the average ihuryuun of our State is puzzled what to do for the best. Prof. Wilkinson tells him plain­ ly that nothing but shallow pans and sub- earth dacts will do ; but Prof. Harden is rqually certain that deep pans (20 inches) sank to the rim in water, at a temperature of fiO deg., alone insure the largest yield of the belt, quality of batter; and now both of these ui-n overtopped by the new Cooley system, which proposes to enclose the milk in a deep, nArrow ean, with a water tight lid, and sink it under wa ter, which is carefully kept at a low temperature by the use of ice. Oar own experiments satisfy u* that both extremes arc right, provided certain rules, as unalterable as those of the Medea and Per- kiaos; are sbterved. At a temperature above GO deg., deep cans will not do : the milk will usually sonr before all the cream reaches the asrface. When this’temperature is nnavoid able, shallow and broad pans will cive the best results. When cold water is abundant, and the means of keeping it at 50 °. or lower are at hand, it will be found that cans, 20 in­ ches deep and eight or nine in diameter, will save much labor, and at the same time make quite as much and better butter. Those dairymen whose situation is covered by the tint case, should be cautious in the use of deep cans. It is no doubt for the want of a proper observance of these simple rules we now have a conflict of sentiment as to the comparative merits of deep and shallow set- V"g- la this connection, Philip Haxard, in “But­ ter and making butter.” says:—“It is a moot­ ed question as to the depth the pans shall be filled for setting the cream, and the argu­ ments arc strong for both deep and shallow pans, those who argue the matter generally remaining firm that their own way is the best Those in favor of deep cans which should hold about twelve quarts, or rather deep set­ ting of the milk, argue that cream trill rise to the top under all circumstances, and therefore there is less exposed to the air to become contaminated or cheesy and form into a skin, as it will do if exposed too long. Now, this objection is obviated if the milk is skimmed regularly every "day as it should be. Wo fa- Vor the shallow setting of milk say from three to four inches, as we believe there will be more surface to receive the cream, and the whole of it will rise, and less will be retained in the milk from any effort to rise. If the air in the milk-house is kept pure, and so that the winds will not blow over the surface of the pans, the cream will come out all right; if disturbed while the cream is rising, it be­ comes agitated too much for the perfect sep­ aration of the two. “ In many of the butter factories the water is in tanks or vata about eighteen inches deep, sunk iu the earth, in which are set tin pail* twenty inches deep, and eight to ten in diam­ eter, the milk standing seventeen inches deep in the pail. The cream nearly all rises in twenty-four hours, is never allowed to stand over thirty-six hours, and is skimmed before the milk sours. In large dairies the setting of milk in deep vessels saves the washing of many shallow ones; and if the temperature is kept about 60 c uniformerly, the deep ones will probably be the most economical. “ The inilk should not be set more than thirty-six hours, and it is better if skimmed in twenty-four hours, as what little might be lost in quantities would be gained in quality. Bnt thd time deper.ds upon the temperature ; just long enough for all tho cream to rise and no longer, is the rale. It should bo skimmed bcfors.it becomes acid at all or thickened. Many who * make first-rate butter let it stand thirty-six hours before skimming; but if it once begins to turn partly to water, the cream will have a,bitter taste that can novel be overcome. The first cream that rises is the best, both in flavoh and color. It should be slightly acid before "it will make butter, and in cool weather it must be put in a warm place for that purpose. It is nnnecessry to scald the milk or cream ; also it gives the butter an unpleasant flavor, and it is useless labor An ounce of fine salt to a three-gallon jar of cream, when you begin to fill, is an improve- meat, and an addition’of salt to the cream nukea it'd urn quicker. Cream should not I* longcrthan three days, or a week at fur­ thest, in colie .-ting bofore it is churned, to make the sweetest butter. As a general rale the quicker cream is converted into butter, the sweeter and better is tl/e butter. At the proper, bine to ba removed, it will have a bright, healthy appearance, a rich, yellow, uniform color, and an adherence of particles. Hour cream contains more caseiue than sweet, and will not rctoin'ita fine flavor so long, nor will the butter mad« of it have so fine anima; plightly acid caa hardly be detected. It is one of the snooted points, we confess, whether sweet cream yields as good and long keeping butter as cream from sour milk. The rule with very many in Chester County js to skim from sonrmilk, as they aay all ths cream is not obtainad from sweet milk. But it is con- idcened an important point to skim as soon as jf»ml>le after the acidulous fermentation has commenced so as to avoid all danger of absorp’ t>om-~J?Kr<U Netr-Yorhr. in this country with equal smmes*. Prcflcssor Buckman, whose authority in Euglud upon ths um of all kinds of grasses, clovers, (and other forage plants, stands deservedly high, gave a favorable opinion of the comfrey long ago. He states that cattie eat it with great eagerness. Dr. Vodcker analyzed it, both in green and cured states, and pronounced it to be exceedingly nutritious. The Crange Principles. The members of Brantford Division Grange held their annual picnic on the Horticultural Show Grounds, West Brantford, on Tuesday last. Amongst the speakers were: Mr. W. L. Brown, editor of the Canadian Granger, It afforded him much pleasure to be present on this occasion. The first Grange wsh started under much difficulty, but uow there were 606 lodges in the Dominion. Be­ fore tho Grange movement was inaugurated the farmers had a great many tilings to com­ plain of, particularly com lunations. He cau tioned fanners against extravagence. A man should be guided by his means, and debts shonld be carefully guarded against. Middle­ men should also be received with caution. When farmers wanted to buy they should do so on the cash system, aud should join hands to secure full trade privileges. He advocated the farmers spending their money in their own village. He deprecated social preju­ dices among farmers which he was certain the Grange would do away with. He alluded to the report of Granges breaking down, but he cou'd prove that this was not the case. When the Order was first stat ted the news­ papers gave it the cold shoulder ; but now that they sec the Grange is a success, they are to bo found at all their gatherings. Far­ mers’ societies were fast growing in Europe. Tho principles of tho Grange arc lasting. It is not a secret society ; it has just enough se- crcsy t5 make it efficient They allow wo- me t into their organization. Farmers wanted their sons to occupy positions in the country as well as other classes. He thought that they had too many lawyers and professional men members of Parliament Ho advised them to stick to their motto and all would be right K t> axs s.

He finds that as a general thing that the milk from his finest cows proves under the test of tho cream gauges now in use, to be inferior to that of less valu­ able animals Tho test which he would supply as the sur­ est of any, is to weigh the milk of each cow, set separately, and tbeu weigh the cream, and afterwards weigh the butter. This will give by weight “the per eentage of cream from milk, and also of butter from cream and milk.” The practicability of this method should commend it to the common sense of the farming community. The point in which cream gauges all seem to fail is the ability to show the density of the cream. They show the thickness, but do not distinguish between the consistency of froth and the solidity of pure cryam. It is stated that Staten Island and Jersey are now swarming with seventeen year locusts. A short time ago the earth under the trees began to open in numberless small holes, and insects an inch in length began to issue forth. As they crawled along the ground they burst their shcli-liko covering and camo forth perfectly formed winged in­ sects. They crawl up the boles of the trees and go out to the farthest extremity of the limbs. Here they attach thc-nsclves to the young and tendr twigs, seldom stopping short of six inches from the extreme tip of the twig. The trees, shrubs, and flowering an- uuals, even, are completely blackened with their numbers. But after all there is very little damage done, except to tho garden flowers. Old farmers say that tho insects do stood rather than harm. They prune baek the fruit trees without injuring ths present fruit, and tho succeeding year is always a prolific one in all kinds of trees fruits. Important to Dairymen. New A cave of some interest to dairymen was tried at Glencoe, on Wednesday, before Squires B. Watterworth, A. Thompson and M. Leitch. J. E- Campbell, Preside .t of the Directory of the Mayfair Checese Factory^ laid camplaint against William Cowan for watering the milk which he supplied to the factory. On the trial it was shown that the milk supplied by him at several times regia- tercd 85 0 to 90 3 on the lactometer, while the average should have been about 103 0 . The directors, with the'consent of Cowan, had Cowan’s cows milked, and on testing the product found it to register about 100 0 . Mr. Cowon then signed a document agreeing to deduct ton per cent from what he was to receive for his milk. He attributed tho ex­ cess of water to carelessness in milking, by the rinsings of the milk pails having been put with the milk. Mr. Cowan was fined $5. and $7,50 costs. Mr. Horton, of London, attend­ ed on the part of the defendant, who, it is said, will appeal to the court st London. A Plcarai Dnufy.

Thank Heaven 1 I have ueitber brother nnr sou to rival me.My only child, Cuthbert, is safely anchored , in the harbor of wedlock, and having his ) own family-ties, I am free to c-nsult only (mv cwu heart in the choice of a bride.

When I proudly show ,the wor'd th* «n’»ndi<l wife of my heart's ' choice, yon will fin 1 my deration a noble , refation of your uu Littering estimate. But a moment Since, y> ■ enufessed that to ex­ change the name of Orme for tbnt of Lan- rance, would cro vn your ambition; mydearest, the trut i lias escaped yon.’ With a sudde > gesture of loathing, she throw off hi* h md, struck her palms to­ gether, and h> started nt the expressionthat seemed literally to blaze in her eyes, •o vivid, so .vithering was tho light tliatrayed out. * Ye«—tho troth r*enped my lips. Tho honorable n» ue of Lauranee is Tnlismanic,and offer* mu-h to Odilfo Onno; yet I will staia my *oul with no < isriinulation. With 1 »ve and romans* I fiuish«“l long ago ; andto-dny I have not patience to trifle even with ite phraseology. I ntn thirty-three, and in my early girlhood the one love­dream of toy life was rudely broken, leav­ ing mo no more capacity to indulge a second, than belongs to those marbles inthe Musee Bourboniqtte. For my dear young linsband I felt the only intense,idolatrous, yes, blindly worshipping devo­ tion, that my uatnre could yield to any human being. When I lost him I lost myJienrt also ; * became doubly widawed, be­ cause my grief bereft m* of the power of properly loving our littfo baby. For year*I have given my body and soul to the nc- cotBpli*lim»nt of one purpose, ihe elevation of my roci'il status, aud that of my child.Had my busband been spared to me, we would not have remained obscure and poor, but after tny widowhood the straggledevolved upon mo, I have not bad leisure fo think of lovo, L*ve toiled solr-lg for maintenance and position; and have stern­ly held tu^self aloof frro the world thnt dared to believe my profession rendered^nd* easy of aeees*. Title* have been laid nt my feet, but their glitter seemed ficti­ tious did not allure m»; and no othername, rave yours, has ever for an instant tempted me. To-day ybu are here toplead my acceptance of that name, nnd frankly I tell yon, sir, it dazzles me. As an American I know nil tliat it represents,nil that it would confer on me, all that it would prove for my child, and I would rather wear tho name of Lauranee, than—n coronet I I confers I have but oue ambi­ tion, to lift my daughter into that’ highftoeial plane, from wjiioh fate excluded her nlfter ] ,'•«<! this eminence I covet for !.♦, fcnt<n»fo with you promises me. I]i*re OO lieort to bring ynn ; mine died wiAsfll u«y wifely ta'pes wheu I lost myhffiAand. If I consent to give yon my hand, and nominally the claim of husband, in exchange for the privilege of mergingOrme in Lauranee, it must bo nnm cer­ tain solemn condition*, to the fulfilment of which your traditional honor is pledged.Is a Laurence safely bound by vows ?' Hsr voice had grown atrengely metallic,losing all it* liquid aweetne**. and as her grata searched his face, the striking rractn- tdence *he traced in hia eves and mouth,totteraof Cuthbert and Regtte, seemed to stab her heart. To the man who listened nnd watchedwith breatblera anxiety her hardening whitening fe*‘ur**, she merely recalled th* memory of her own tragic “ Medea " have purchased the right to olaim my hand, mark yon,—anly my hand at the al* tar.’tIt wan a cautiously worded marriage settlement, drawn up in conformity' withlegal requirements; and it* chief exaction was the adoption of Regina, the transmis­sion of the mins of Laurence, and the set­ tlement upon her of a certain amount of money iu stocks and lionds, exclusive ofany real estate. As he received the paper and opened it, Mrs. Orme added :1 ‘Take your own time, and weigh the conditions carefully and deliberately.’‘ Stay. Odille; do not leave me. A few momenta will suffice for this matter, and I am in n« mood to endure suspense.’• Within an hour you can at lest com­ prehend what I demand. I am going to the terrace of the Villa Reale, and when,in accordance with that contract, you de­ cide to adopt my child, and present her to the world as your own, you will find meon the terrace.' He would have taken her hand, but shewalked away, and disappeared, closing a door behind her.' His hut had rolled out of sight, and ashe searched hurriedly for it, Mrs. Waul spoke from her distant recess: * Gon.Liurance will find Ids hat betweenthe ottoman and t te window.’ The winding walks of tho Villa wore comparatively deserted when Mr*. Ormebegun! to pice slowly to and fro be non th the trees, whoso f »liag» swayed solely intho mild evening air. When tho few re­ maining groups had passed beyond her vision, she throw buck tiio long thick veilthat Ind effectually concealed her features, and approaching tho parap-t that oveihing the sea, sat down. Removing her hat andveil, she placed them beside hrr on tho sent, and resting her hands up >n tho iron railing, bowed her chin upon them, andlooked out upon tho sea murmuring at tho foot of the wall.The flush and spirklo of an hour ago, had vanished so utterly, that it appeared incrodibb that color, light and dimplescould cwr wako again in that frozen face, over whoso rigid features brooded the calm of stone. But i«lc ■■ arr the «leuLJ she seemed some impassive soulk-ju crea­ture. inc.anable alike of remorse or ot hope allured Ly uo future frightened by no past; silently fronting at fast tha one suuless,joyless, dreary goal, whoso attainment had been for yeara the param ma t aim of ber stranded life. The rony glow of dying dayyet lingered in the sky, ami tinged the sea, and a golden moon, followed by a few shy stars, watched their golden images twink­ling in the tremulous water; but the love­ liest object upon which their soft light fell, was tbnt lonely, wan, lilac-robed woman. Sj Jn|>htliu’s uu Lutntod daughter mightIrivo looked, as she saw tho Syrian sun sink below tho palms au.l poppies,—know­ing that wheu it rose once more upon the smiling, happy world, her sacrifice would have been accomplished,—her fate foreversealed ; or so perhaps Alca»tis watched the slow coming footsteps of tiiat dreadful hour, when for licr beloved she volautarilyrelinquished life. To die for those wo love, wore easy martyrdom, but to live iu sacrificial throesfierce ns Dirce's tortures, to endure for tedicus indefinite lingering years, jilted by death, demands a fortitude higher thanthat of Cato, Socrates or Smecit. To all of us come sooner or later, lurid fateful hoina. that bring us faco to facewi'h the pnlo Parc.il;—so close tbnt wo see the motionless disthff,—aud tho glitter oftho opening shears,—nnd have no wish t<> stay tho clipping of the frayed and taugkd thread.In comparison with the grim destiny Mrs. Onno had so systematically planned, the hideous ••death in life," up >n which slinwns deliberately preparing to enter, n leap over thnt wall into the placid soibtneatli, would Lave been wolcama as heaven totortured Dive*; bnt despited the loathing and horror of her sickened and outragedsold, sho contetnnlnted her future lot as cahnly. as St. Lawrouco the heating ot his gridiron.Over the boantifnl blue bay, whore tho moon|liad laid her pnveinont of gold floated a tow sweet song,—a simpl i barcarolle, thatenmo from a group of happy sou'.s ia a small boat. “ Che cu»l vn.ll que pradFldiiilne ! s ' Only accept my vow* at the altar, andI challenge the world to breathe *n impn- taiioa upon their sanctity.

Springing ashore he secured tho boat, j and held out his arms for the sleeping bud , that conteineJ iu its folded p-t.ils all theirdomestic hop** ; and as tlinstvr-ayed young mother kissed it lightly and laid it in its father’s arms, the happy pair walked away,leaving the echo of their gay musical shatter lingering on the air. To the woman who watched and listenedfrom the parapet above, it seemed a panel, rosy, dewy, fresh from Tempe, set as afresco upon the walls of Hell, to heighten the horror*.of the doomed. From her chalice fate had stolon all thatwas sweet and rapturous in wifehood and motherhood substituting hemlock; and as the vision of her own fair obild was recalledby the sleeping babe of the Italian fisher­ man, site suffered a keen pang in the con-seiousness tliat those tender features of her innocent daughter reproduced vividly the im age of the man who had bhckeneJI b r life.The face in Regina’* portrait was so thoroughly Laurence iu outline, and Lanrauee in color, that the mother halcovered it with a thick veil; unable te meet the deep violent eye*, that she had learned to hate in Rene Lauranee and hi* son.Yet for the *ake of that daughter, wboae paze she shunned, aha was abo -1 to stepdown into flame* far fiercer than those of Tophet, *ilenily immolating all that re­ mained of her lifo. .Although she neither turned her head, nor removed her eye* from the sea, she knew that th* eod was at hand. For oneinstant her heart seemed to c«a*e beating, then with a keen spasm of pais slowly resnmed it* leaden labor. The erect, graceful, manly figure at her ride brot down, and the grtzsled moustaahe tour lied her forehead. * Odille, I accept yowr topn*. Henceforth,tn aceordanae with your own condition*, you are mine; mine in the sight of God and resn?Ite.-offing, alia drew her handkerchief aerosa the spot wbeve his Up* had rooted, and Iter votes rounded strangely eohi andhaugbtv : •God holds Himself aloof front oueb saerilege aa thi«, and eooMtimec I think carene*. I am very frank, you *«e, and doubtless you esnsider me peculiar,—pro- ibably prudish, but only a husband’s lips « ean t ueb mine, only a busband's arm en­ circle me. When we ar* married,------* ,She did net complete her lentence, but « a peculiar, musical laugh rippled over her ilipa, and *h* held out her hand to him. j Remember I promised Gen. Laurano* i enly*>my band, ard here I surrender it. |You have fairly earned it, but 1 fear-it will i not prove the guerdon you ao fondly ima- 1gine.'(He kissed it tenderly, nnd keeping it in i his, spoke very earnestly : i• Only one thing, Odille, I desire to slip. ]nlate, and that springs solely from my i jealous love. You must promise to aban- idon the stage forever. Indeed my beautiful t darling, I eonld not bear to e«e my wife, i my own—before the footlights.

I have written a t little drama, adapting the chief role to roy iown peculiar line of talent, aud I desire in t that play, of my own composition, to bid 1 adieu to the stage. In Paris, where illness icurtailed my engagement, I wish to make j my parting bow, nnd I trust you will not f oppose so innocent a pleasure ? The mar­riage ceremony shall bo performed in the afternoon, and that night I propose to np- r pear in my own ply.

Mr. Cliesley is immensely wealthy,and having no near relatives, desires to adopt some pretty, well-bred, affoctionato- natured girl, who can take care of andcheer his old age, and to whom lie can be­ queath his name mid fortune. His covet­ ous eyes have fallen upon my ward, nndho seriously contemplates making some grave proposals to your mother, relative to transferring yon to Washington, andthence to San Francisco. As Mr. Cbeshy's heiress your future will bo very brilliant, and I presume that in a voluntary choiceof guardians I am destined to lose my ward.’ • Very soon my mother will be my guar­dian, nnd Mr. Chesloy is certainly a gentle­ man of too much good sense and discretionto entertain such a thought relative tn a stranger of whom lie knows absolutely nothing. A few polite kindly-worded phrases bear no such serious interpreta­tion.’ She had bent ao persistently oror her book that bo closed and removed it beyondher reach, forcing her to regard him ; for after thu toil, contention, and brain-wrestl­ ing of tho court-room, it was his reward’ just now to look into her deep calm eyes, and watch the expressions vary in her un­ tutored ingenuous countenance. • Men, especially confirmed old bachelors,. aro scmelimes very enpricious and foolish, , nnd my fri md Mr. Cliesley appears to have fallen hopelessly into tho depth* of your r ryes. Ia vain I assured him that Helm- , h >llz has demonstrated that the deepest blue aye is after all only a turbid medium.In bis infatuation he persists that science is ■ learned bubble, and that your eyes arewells of truth and inspiration. Of courseyou desire that I shall present your affec­ tionate regards to your future guardian ?’ • Yon can improvise nny message youdeem advisable, but I send none.* A faint color was stealing into hercheek*, and yin long lashes drooped before the bright black eyes that had borne down many a breve fuco on the witness stand.The clock struck, and Mr. Palma com­pared bis watch with its record. He was foath to quit thatcharming quietroom which held the fair, innocent young queen of hia love, and hasten away upon the impending journey; but it was im­portant that he should not miss the railway train, and lie smothered a sigh. • This morning I neglected to give youa letter which arrived yesterday, and ofcourse 1 need expect no pardon whau you ascertain that it ia from “ India’s coralstrand.' If "Brother Douglas*" is aa inde­ fatigable in the discharge ofbis missionary as bis epistolary labors, ba dessrves a crownof nnmerous converts.

She put the letter into her pocket, and at the same time drew out a email envelopecontaing the amount of money aba had borrowed. Rising she handed it to him.1 Allow me to eanoel my debt.' Ae ha received it their fingers mat, and and a hot flush rushed over the lawyer’*weary face. He bit hia lip and recovered himself before the obaerved hi* emotion. • That alm*-giving epieode is declined tojiald an IneeUmable barvsit of ben«fit*. But I m »t burry away. Pray do not take paaaage for the junglee of Oude beforeI return, for whenever you leave me I • ebould at least like the ceremon y of biddingmy ward adieu. Good-bye.

Soma day, Lily, I will tell you their mission and fate, should Iforget, remind me.’ He smiled, bowed and hurried from the room, leaving her sadly perplexed.At dinner Mrs. Palma said : • I have promised to chaperone the Bruce sisters to-night at the opera, nnd shall tokotea at their house. Were I sure oi a seat for von, I should insist upon taking you, for I dislike to leave yon so mnch alone;but the box might be full, and then thing* would bo awkward. • Yon need have no concern on my nc-crunt, for I have my books, and am accus­ tomed to being alone. Moreover, I am notparticularly partial to tho music of “ Mar­tha,” which will be played to-night'' * Did your guardian tel] you that he has jnst won that ereat "Migdol" case that cre­ated so ranch interest?' ‘He mentioned it, Mrs. Palma, I thoughthe looked weary and jaded—as if he need­ ed rert rather than a journev.' ‘ Erie is never weary. His nerves aresteel, and he will rpeedily forget his court­ house cares iu Mrs. Carew's charming conversation.’■ But she is not in Washington F • She told me yesterday she would go there this afternoon, and showed mo themost superb maize-colored satin just re­ ceived from Worth, which she intends wearing to-morrow evening at tho FrenchAmbassador’s ball, or reception. Yon know she is very fareinnting, and thoughErie thinks little about women, I reallybelieve she will succeed in driving law books for a little while at least, out of his cool clear head. Mv dear, I nm going to writea short note. Will you please direct Hat­ tie to bring my opera hat, cloak and glasses ?’With inexpressible relief Regina heard the heavy silk rus'.la across the hall, whenshe took her departure, and rejoiced in theassurance that there was no one to intrude upon hir solitude. •How she wished she could fly to some desert, where undiscovered she might cry aloud, io tho great agony that possessed her heart.The thought that her guardian had has­ tened away to accompany that gray-eyedgohleu-haired witch of a woman to Wash­ ington, wns intolerably Litter; and as she contemplated the possibility, nay tho prob­ability of his speedy marriage, a wild longing seized her to make her escape and avoid the sight of such a spectacle.When she recalled his proud, haudsam* composed face, and tried to imagine himthe husband sf Mrs. Carew, bending over, enrreesiog her, the girl throw hor arms on hia writing desk, nnd sank her faco upon them, as if to shut out the torturing vis­ion. She knew that be was singularly reser­ved and undemonstrative ; she had never seen him fondle or caress anything, and the bare thought that liis stern marble lipswould someday seek and press that wo- man's ecarlet mouth, made her shiver with a pang that was almost maddening.

Wsekl y Excursion. — Arrangements have been made to run an excursion every Thursday norning, from Ingersollto Port Stanley. The fare for tho round trip will be 75 cents. This action on tho part of the manager of tho G. W. R-, will fie highly appreciated, and wo hope the excursion train will boVvell patronized by our towns­ people. Fess Reduced.—An Order-in Council has been passed reducing the fees of parties requiring scales, meaearos, etc., to bo veri­ fied under the Weights and Measures Act. This “ reform ’’ comes rather l»te in the day, after tho inspectors have been tho rounds of the country, aud had weights, scales, &c,, justified, pocketing the enor­ mous charges. Pabl os Coxcekt.—A Parlor Concert will be given at tho residence of David White Esq., on the evening of Friday, July 6tb, in aid of the Organ Fund of St. James’ Church, on which occasion the following ladiesaud gentlemen will likely assist. Mrs. Ellis and Miss Raymond, London, Misses Oliver, McEwan, Evalt, Dimmoch and Barratt, and Messrs. Yoik, Johnson, Harris and Slade. The ground will ba open from 6.30 for croquet&c., concert at eight. Further particulars next week, a cordial invitation extended to all. The Fast Tbain Discontinued.—Tho fast train ovor tho Michigan Central, Great Western aud New York Central Railways, from Chicago to Now York, has been dis­ continued. No. 10 G. W. R. Express East will, after Monday night last, take berregular place as per limo card, stopping at Ingersoll aud tho various stations cast of London as formerly. Tho public gencral'y will heartily agree with tho railway author­ ities in this action, aud will rejoice to know that the lightning express trains have boon discontinued before any untoward accident occurred. Attemted Bodt -Sxat chino.—On Sat­ urday, 16th inst., says tho Observer, the body of Lambert Depcel, (who had been killed on Tillson’s farm by a stump ma­ chine) was interred in tho grave-yard at Tilsonburg. On Sunday it was discovered that tho gravifof tho Into Abraham White, which adjoius that of Depoel, had beon opened, but on digging down it was found that if the coffin had been uncarthod, it had been returned. The • blundering fellows had evidently mistaken tho grave, and had had their labor for nothing. Tho grave of Dcpocl is now watched nightly by relatives. “ Belfobd> Magazine."—Wo aro in receipt of the July number of this most ex­ cellent monthly. It improves with age.

The Late Frost.—Friday night here was cold, but in our immediate vicinity we have not heard that much damage was done by frost, yet, from many points in Western Ontario wo have intelligence of tho destruction of potato vines and olher crops, to a considerable extent, by tho frost which prevailed between Friday night aud Saturday morning. In tho townships west of us many persons will lose heavily, particularly those having land lying low. Wo hear of ouo f irmer, living near Lucan, who ha.l tho vines of twelve acres of potatoes completely blighted. Others suffer in proportion. Potatoes seem to have boon tho crop most generally in­ jured, although tomatoes, carrots, etc., seem to Lave Lccn blighted to a consider­ able extent in some parts. A New Method.—A Jarmir of London Township kills potato bugs unerringly by thouse of a seive, with a handle four feet long. From the sides of t!)e,sieve a flounce of cloth, cut plain, and without trimming, foils about two and a half feet. The for­ mer holds tlio sieve over a hill of potatoes so that the cloth falls all around the vine, preventing the wind from driving away tho poison. Tho sieve is filled with paris green mixed with flour or plaster of paris. Ono shake of the sieve throws tho dust through the vine, and tho instrument is held still a fow seconds to allow the dust to settle on the leaves within the cloth screen. Not a bug or slug can possibly escape alive. By fitting a cover over the top of the sivc, all danger of the escape of poison is prevented, and none of the Paris green can get away, except os it falls on the vine*. There, is no danger of inhaling the dust when this instrument is used and no poison is wasted. The Cath Will Dell, If you want first class ladies' Trencb kid boots, call st Win. A.

Relief for lhe Sufferers af (be St, JohnFire. INGERSOLL’S SYMPATHY. At a meeting of the ratepayers of tho town held at the Town Hall on Monday evening, ealled by the Mayor at the request of a numerously signed potition, a resolu­ tion was pass.-d requesting the Mayor and Council to appropriate from the general funds of the town the sum of 8500, to be forwarded to the Mayor of St. John, for tho relief of tho sufferers by the late discs- truous flro in that city. Several of our most prominent townspeople worn present, and uddrossed the meeting on the subject, among whom were Revs. Canon Hiucks and Gardiner. Messrs. Brady, Chadwick, Robertson, Ellis, Norris,Phelan and others. The meotiug wqs unanimous ou the vote. HFLP FROM THE LADIE3. In the afternoon of Monday a meeting of Ladfos was held in the Council Cham­ ber for the purpose of devisirg moans of assisting tho sufifrrers by the late fire at St. Johns. A cuumitteo was appointed to make a collection of clothing and other goods, to ba sent to tho relief of the suf­ ferers. Thooommittoo is an offiiiont one, and we hope our townspeople will make a generous and hearty response to their ap­ peal. Dominion Day Celebration. A GALA DAY FOR INGERSOLL. Next Monday will bo one of the gayest days (weather permitting) ever witnessed in Ingersoll. Tho Committee of Management have spared no pains to mako it a grand suc­ cess, and shoul.l the day bo a fine ouo, thero will no doubt bo a large influx of visitors from ths surrounding country. One of the principal features will bo the regatta on Smith’s pond. This is a now departure from our usual amusements ou this day and wo have no doubt but it will bo highly appreciated. It is seldom that an inland town can offer such an enter­ tainment, and we arc only surprised that the facilities wo possess have not before been utiliz.-d for this purpose. Theio arc at present sumo twelve or fifteen first-class boats on the ponds, aud tho crews who aro to man them are constantly in practice getting up their wind and muscle, and wo have no doubt but good time will bo made, as some of the boats aro built from tho most approved models for speed. Tho day will, ns usual.be ushered in by tho firing of cannon, after which, about nine o’clock, the Calithumpians, to tho number of sever­ al thousands or less, will emerge from their caves aud will parade the streets. Then tho Steamer Firo Company, with their beautiful steam firo engine will tarn out, after which matches of Base Ball and La­ crosse will bo played on tho park. At noon another Royal Solute will be fired, and then a procession will bo formed nt tho Town Hull, headed by tho band, which will inarch to the Park aud tho games and athletic sports will begin. When that part of Hie programme is finished, Uio aquatic sports on tho pond will begin. Tho first will be a first-clasa boat raco over a course of about 1J miles. Then the fun will be changed for a tub race aud a swimming raco after a goose. Another boat raco and youngsters will show their powers of equilibrium on a polo project­ ing over the water. Then another boat race, and (his will complete tho after­ noon’s sports. At 8 o'clock in the evening a grand torchlight procession will take place, by the Fire Brigade. There will also be a in >st magnificent display of fire works aud an ascension of firo balloons. The band will wind up the day by a grand promenade concert and bop in the Town Hall. Mndral and Literary Entertainment. As we announced some time sinco. there are entertainments of this character in tho Y.M.C.A. Hall on every Wednesday oven- inf. They have now been conducted for several weeks, ami from the attendance we must admit that our townsfolk have an appreciation of efforts made in a direc­ tion to clovate and improve the tastes. The attendance thus far has been quite en­ couraging, aud wo are confident that it it only necessary to make known to the pub- lie tho excellencies 'of tho various pro­ grammes to secure much larger audiences. Tho present week will afford additional at­ traction, for the usual form of programme will bo supplemented by a dish of ice cream and the musical department will bo given variety to by tbo singing from " Blind Mary " from the Brantford Institute. Bhe may bo called Ingersoll's blind girl. Those w’.io know anything of her early histoiy should make it a point to see and hear ber, that they may better judg* of the success of their charity. We bespeak an extra house this week. Holloway College and Sanatortan. Thomas Holloway of pil) and ointment fame is now engaged in tbo building of a Ladies College and Sanatorium.

Llltlc Falls Cheese Market. Little Folk*, June 25. The representation of factories at the Little Falls cheese market to-day was the largest of tho season. Salesmen seemed to think that though the prices were exceedingly low, there is no probability for better, and a prospect for a greater decline; 8,000 cheese offered, mostly selling for 9c to 10c; 400 farm dairy sold at 82c to 9jc. Of 10,000 boxes cheese offered, 3,000 went on commission ; 7,000 sold at 8Jc to 9j ; ex­ treme, 9jc; leading factories, 9Jc. The aver­ age market is active, but lower Nev York Cheese Market, From tho X. T. Grocer. The market is entirely under the control of buyers, and they are paying pretty much as they please for their purchases. The receipts have been very large, and there is an unwieldly accumulation of stocks on hand here, and the interior markets arc not in much better con­ dition. Tho opening price for fancy State factory was 11c, but this was shaded to lOJc, which was difficult to obtain at tho close. Anything at all off color was difficult to place at anything above 9je, and. the majority of transactions were mode at this figure and under.
