We learn with regret from Woodstock, that Mr. John McWbinuie, Collector of Inland Revenue in that town, died of paralysis og.Tuesday (yesterday) morning. The deceased was twenty-four years editor of the Woodstock Sentinel, and was mneb respected throughout the County. Model pretty Tas l ocation of tho County School for Oxford in Woodstock is generally coudomned by n largo majority of the inhabitants of the county, of both political parties, and some of Mr. Crooks’ warmest friend* are particularly annoyed to think that the claim* of Ingorsoll bave boon so conspicuously ignored. He will no doubt be asked to explain as to thi* thusneas. We have elected mtn to repre­ sent u* iu the Legislature whenever called upon to do so, but thiy fail to cousult our interests when they get into parliamentary seats — they have thomielvas or some frioud to serve and we aro ignored in the greater self-interests which outweigh the county welfare. It is about time the people ot Oxford looked at this matter iu it* true light We must hnvo a change of men if we aro to occupy tho position in tho county to which ws are entitled. As long as we sacrifice our franchise morely >for tbe pur­ pose of bolstering up a weak and incapable minirtrs so long will our most vital inter­ ests be sacrificed for selfish motives. Thebe was ax attempt made to got up a sort of welcome to th* U in*. Alex. McKen­ zie and Huntington, as they passed through Ingersoll on Thursday last, on their way to Forest. After several hours’ drumming up, there wore a few of tho faithful put in an appearance at tho station at the time of the arrival of tho train. Those, how­ ever, who wore there were ashamed of themselves on account of the smallness of the crowd, and those who could, conve­ niently, sli.1 out of sig’it. Ou tho arrival of tho tram from 47 to 53, or theroabonts, one report ho* it 47} propio woro in attend­ ance. A good many of those at the station, however, were Conservatives who had been Attracts 1 to tho spot to seo how their oppo­ nents did tho thia*. The sprotale, in a Conservative point of view, was really & grand success. After gazing about for soma time to soe where the groat mon were, tho train moved off and as it did H>n. Mr. McKenzie appeared at the door an I took off bi* bat,what for We could not tall unless it was to feel the refreshing breeze fur there was no one there to give him a cheer or wish him bon voyaye on bis journey. It was without exception the tamest affair of th* kind we eves witnessed. I* may be snid that a couple of the chief enthusi­ ast* of the party were out of town at tbe timo but surely tbe cr at party of “ moral idea* " in Ingersoll is not run by two mou Do Gas Metres Lie 7 is a question which in a greater or less degree is of interest to every one of our ratepayer*. .The Sentinel •a y *“ In a discussion tha1 took place at tho recent meeting of th* County Council a question w m accidentally raised that may prove interesting to many of our readers inasmuch a* it is one that relates to their pockets. The Gaoler here bad pot - lioned tbe Council to have gas put into bi* residence, but the committee that consider­ ed the request reported against granting the petition, and tho Council in it* wisdom adopted the report. Tbe request was thought by many to be a very reasonable one considering tho great convenience of gae and its small coat here, where it i* cheaper than in any other town in Canada. An offer bad been made to put in tbe pipes and fixtures for |50 and tho subsequent an­ nual cost to the County would probably bave been less than for coal oil lamps Ac. Tbe petition gave rise io a lively diseusaion in which one ofihorepresantativee of Inger­ soll, whois President of tho Gas Company there, need a new and somewhat extraordi­ nary argument. He said that if wee not so ranch the gaa that weald bo burned that they had to consider aa wkai the metre would tie Uu county out of. Ho declared bi* intimate acquaintance With the eubject of gas which ba had obtained as President of the Ingersoll Ga* Company and informed tho nninlated members of the County Coun­ cil that the expression “ to lie like a gas tee- lreu meant aa appalling degree of moral obliquity. Now wo do not propose to en­ quire into tho enormous bum that the President of the aforesaid Gm Company will have to answer for if hi* atatorn rat be comet. Wo will leave this to the oomrid- eration of raader* in log*noll, very many wfe.-'m the lartrea of that wicked C ratpaay have for years {if w* most bolisvsibs Free- ideal) been lying Mt of more ga* than they have nally burnt. Mr. Noxon is known m a thoughtful man, whose uUeranres are worthy of oowddaraUon, who speak* only ply to frighten toe Cnnuly Conuci! from doing what srenld have b m a aHgbl ad- bantags to the Woodstock Qm Company. greater than it ia here. The metres that lie ao relentlessly under the control of their gas Company must be very expensive lux­ uries.” Nobody but the unscrupulous editor of the Sentinel could possibly have tortured the sentence let £aU by Mr. Noxon into such a misrepresentation of its mean­ ing. It is on a par with tbe other report* which that paper delight* in furnishing to the people of Oxford. Because Mr. Noxon happens to bo conversaut with the internal economy of gas metres, it is no resson why ba should use that knowledge dishonestly any more than a detective officer, who knows the ramification* and action* of * gang of thieves, should be accused of being an accomplice of tbe rogues. The coloring which the Sentinel is pleased to put upon Mr. Noxon’s remark is unworthy of any man who holds tho high position of a pub­ lic journalist, and we are Surprised to find snob a papers* tbe Sentinel stoop to such low and despicable subterfuges, in order to give a "at*b in tho dark ” to such a man as Mr. Noxon. gersoll being completed and opened for traffic by the first day of September, 1878. as in the last clause provided the town ofIngersoll agree to give in debentures of the town tbe further sum of ten thousand dol- Tho matter was pretty fully disenssed, and a motion w*s carried that the proposi­ tion that the C.

New York, July 22.—A ccnvepondenl atPera confirm* the report cabled yesterday that a great battle had ocaama between Sistova aud Nieopoli*. Turkish officia] oc-count* represent that the Ottoman troops successfully resisted the Rturi*n attack, and repulsed thsm with great slaughter.Every available man was hurried up to re­ sist the Russian advance before they could ■ gain a firm footing on Bulgsrian soil. Iti* reported that a atruggle is progressing along the whole line of the Danube. The latest report* state that tbe result oftbe battle nvar Sistova is unknown. A correspondent telegraphs from TDRXU-MAaUBZLU under dale of Friday a* follows:—No crossing ba* taken place here, although there were widespread report* even in offi­cial circles to that effect. Indeed it is not likely that any m*n will ba sent over al this point. The intentions of the Bnssiansto effect a passage at thi* point ba* been notorious for the past fortnight. Tbe Turks therefore, concentrated large numbers ofmen at Nicopelis, thus compelling tho Rus­ sians to choose another point. The demonstration at Turnn-Magurolliwas made in such forco and such prepara­ tion, a* regards boats and material for pon­ toon bridges, that it would have been turn­ed into an actual attack bad a fair cbanee of success offered. Even at tha Russian beadquarters it was uncertain until tb*last moment which point would ba chosen for ths real crossing—Simnitza or Tarnu- Magurelli. The appearance of ths Czar attho latter place induced a concentration of tbo Turkish forces, and the Busuans ac­ cordingly mads the real attack at sruxrrzA. Tbo Russian forces were shrewdly mass­ ed at Drags, ten miles back from tbe Dau- ube, and the neighboring villiagos aboutequi-dislant from Turnu-Magurelli aud Simnitza, t-nabling a quick concentration uoon whichever point proved weakest.When, therefore, it wa* ascertained from returned spies, that the Turks bad mused opposite to Turnu-Magurella, t^e Englishcorps, under Lieut.-Geu. Radetski, FEU, UEE A THUXDXRBOLT ou Simnitza, on Wednesday morning, ef­ fecting a lauding before the Turks had timeto recall their force*. AX XLZCTRIC LISHT nied by tbe Russians to show tho position of tbe Turks, and to enable th3m to direct their artillery fire, which was playing suchsad havoc with the doomed city on the op­ posite shore. It was a sight never to ba forgotten. The whole valley resounded-wiih the roar of artillery. Tho Russian* were firing from throe batteries above the town, as if bent on destroying Nieopolis,while tho Turk* ware replying vigorously under tho delusion that they were thereby preventing a passage of tho river at thatpoint. Tho Russian plan was io make numer­ ous feints at different place* with sufficientforce to turn tbo feint* into real attacks at the point* that proved weakest. A* a con­ sequence tbe Turk* wore compelled to dis­tribute their forces over a great line of river front. Tbo making of the bridge at Simnitza was carried out in the sama man­ner os at Ibrail, except that the prepara­ tions for the construction were more diffi­ cult, owing to the inundated condition oftho river banks at that point. The. correspondent says: — Hurrying from Ibrail, where I had witnasssd the firstpassage ol tbo Danube by the Ruzsiuns, I ^Ant at once to Turuu-Magurelli, where it was expect**! that the mail' crossing would take place. Arri.-f”? M Turnu-Magurelli at 10 o’clock at night. A STRIDE AXD TSROIBLE SUHT met my view. As I cams in sight of the- town, I could read plainly by the light oCthe'barninghouses of Nieopolis, situated on* tha opposite bank. Several houses in atrow were burning at the samo time, throw­ ing a lurid fad glare for mile* around, and shooting up pyramids almost to tho cloud*.The muddy waters of ths Danube threw, back a dull red light, while a strong wind1 carried off dense volumes of black smoke. A broad flash of bright white light, resem­bling a comet, overhung Turnu-Magurella, making it almost a* light as day. It was OXLY A Veixt . to keep the attention of tbe Turk* riveted on Turan-Magurelli, while the real cross­ ing was biiug quietly earns! oat at 8ttn-nitza. The passage was effected with scarcely mr.re difficult than Ibrail. Those who are uot in tbe secret of theRussian plans are now convinced that tbe attempt at Magnrelli was genuine, and that the Rnsriana intended to force a pass­age at that point. The construction of a high bridge was commenced, boats were as­ sembled, aud other necessary prepara i nswere carried on. By these means the Turk* were isducod to concentrate a tremendous fore* at N e »-poli* sufficient to repulse any attempt tho llnuians might make. The Ruaaian* are newcoxcaxToaTixo *t sntxrrA, and are hurrying their whois fnroa arrow tbe river. To-day they are sanding boat*from Turnn-M*gnrelli to a*si4 in the crowing. These boat* were fired upon in­ cessantly by the Turkish batteriM, but titllsdamage was done.

A five year old daughter ©f Mr^Bnrgva* Howey, living on tbe corner of Dtrnda* *ndMaitland aEreet*. met with ■ **d accident on Monday afternoon, which ln« mforta- nately resulted in ber death. It appear*that about four o’clock th* mother pnt tiro girl, named Edith, aud bor brother (two year* old) to bed in tbo *eeo:»d ftat, audleaving them sleeping, locked the doom aud want on a few minute*’ visit to Mrs. Jeffery, who lives iu the immraih?* vieio- ify. Before she 1-ft. she wasorry carefulnot to leave anything iu tha way of th* children, which might result in danger to them, should they awake before her return,.With thi* object in n»w. she placed thn matches, which usually lay on tb* cup- bnard shelf, in tbe bottom of a pitcher. T ic children, it seem-, awoke a few* min-nte* after her depait ire, and th* liltle girl began runjmagi g around. Getting - h^ld of tbe nmtebes, it i* supposed tiiatshe b’gan striking tli*m, with tire r**nll that she Set h :r clothes on fire. Her little brother made hi*, way down stair*, an.!was getting out of the window when hia mother eame back. On opening the door* she found the bouse fall of amok*, and, toher groat horror, discovered little Edith ia the kitchen, burnt in a shocking manner, her feet being tbe only portion of her body not seriously burned, and they only escap­ing through ber shoes being on. The screams oftb* distracted mother had the effeet of bringing Dr. Edward’s (who live*in the immediate neighborhood) to the scene, and ho did all in his power to alle­ viate the sufferings of the unfortunatechild. All was of no avail, however, and within a conpln of hours after she died. It is supposed that death resulted from inter­nal Injuries, through tbo inhaling of the flames.

As the torrid daya of «:*»« oppres- lively upon ns, it is v«y essential that atock should have an abundance of good, fresh water. Tha importance of this for cqws cannot well be owr-ertimated, Wil­ lard’s Pnctioal Dairy Husbandry says tor- - cibly upon this «ubject, that every practi­ cal dairymaa muat have observed how rap­ idly sows shrink iu their mUk in hot, dry » weather, when water is scarco and Um ani­ mals do not gat their nsnal sapyly. But although in such eases -the cause of milk < falling off is traced to ita true source many forget to take a hint freet suoh observations in their management of milch stock during the summer and fall. Cows, of course will lire by yielding a less quantity of milk, they adapt themselvea to the circumstances tinder which they are placed. And if water is not abundant, oris situated in out-of- the-way places, where it» not easy of ac­ cess, tho animals soon educate themselves <0 get. along with a much less quantity than they would were it placed before them in abundance. Up to a certain point the animal will content herself without com­ plaint to the conditions, and it often hap­ pens that because cows show no very marked uneasiness, or falling off in flesh, r , it is supposed they get nil the water they require, when, in point of fact, they are taking only a limited supply. Herds thus f situated do not yield large returns. The k ~ fault is not in tho cows but in their man­ agement. Now, milch cows should rather bo induced to take all the water they will, •> and no time should they bo allowed to suf. for from thirst. A cow that gives a large quantity of milk, must of necessity require more water, other things being equal, than tho cow that gives only a small quantity of milk; for wo must remember that of the constituents of milk oigbty-soveu ports or thereabouts are water. To what extent the quantity of milk can bo increased, and at the same time a good quality ba secured, by inducing tho animal to taka an abundant quantity ofliquid, is •fill a question undetermined, bnt that milk of good quality can iu this manner be in­ creased and without injury to the animal, there is not the slightest doubt. Upon this point wo have some very interesting ex­ periments by M. Dancel, as communicated to the French Academy of Sciences. He found that by inoijiag cows to drink large quantities of water, the quantities of milk* yielded by them can bo in­ creased several quarts, without materially injuring ita quality. Tho amount of milk obtained, he says, is approximately propor­ tionated to tbo quantity of water drank. Cora which, when stall-fed with dry fodder give only from nine to twelve quarts of milk per day, at once produced from twelve ‘ to fourteen quarts daily, when their food was moistened by mixing with it from eigh­ teen to twenty-three quarts of water per day. Besides this water token with tbo food, the animals were allowed to drink nt the same .intervals as before, and their thirst was oxcited by adding to their fodder • small quantity of salt The milk pro- . duced under the water regimeu, after hav­ ing been carefully analyzed os to its chom- cal and physical properties, was adjudged to be of good quality, and excellent butter was obtained from it. Tha precise proportion of water which can thus be given to cows with advantage, he says, is a point not readily determina­ ble, since the appetite for drink differs very considerably in different animals. Bnt by observing the degree of the appetite for drink in a number of cowi, by taking note of the quantity of waler habitually con- Burned by each of the animals in the 00uno. of twenty-four hours, end contrasting this quantity with that of tbo milk produced, M. Danes! aseerta that any one can see that the yield of milk is directly propor­ tionate to the quantity of water^absorbed. Ho aseerts, mon over, that a cow that does not habitually drink as much as twenty- •even quarts of water per day—and he has met with such—is actually and necessarily • poor milker. She will give only from five and a half to seven quarto of milk per da,. But all the cows he has seen which drank as much as fifty quarto-of water daily, were ozeellent milkers, yielding from nineteen to twenty quarto of milk. In 1 his opinion the quantity of drink consumed by a cow is • valuable test of her worth as ' • milk producer.Now, whether the interferences drawn by 1 Dancel from his experiments be etriclly true ‘in any particular or applicable cases, need not * be discusted for the prceent, bnt they illuztrate ' fa some degree, at leaak, facto familiar to prac­ tical tnen. The most common observer mart 1 kave taken note that fa tho human family the ’ Mother molding her infant requires and eon- anm.i more liquids than eho did before or after 1 her periods Barring.

After their ’ '/ork lias been ,l&t» fm» the the pujur descend into the soil, and their lie dormant ’ until the succeeding spring. Many of them perish during the winter ; and when the fully formed insects come forth in the spring, you wilbalways find them marching about the field in pairs, “seeking whom they may devour," , and seeking also the potato leaf upon which to deposit the eggs. At this early season a * single pair may generally be found at the base r of.each potato stalk, as if waiting for the leaves to expan A Should the field not be sit- ' naked too near a neighbor’s potato patch, so as not to inoar danger from an invasion from * abroad, it is an excellent plan, and not so r very laborions, to go through it just at this ■ time,sad with gloved hands pickoff these t pairs and destroy them. For, these first ; comers once destroyed, uo eggs can bo pro- , duced to worry you afterwards, unless they , coma from invaders. , But suppose the season to have advanced I into June, and no preliminary cautions have been taken. What do we find to be the con- * dition of things ? As soon as the leaves have * expanded the primary bngs have deposited r their eggs thereon in loose cluiters numbering from seven to twelve hundred, not all at ' once, but at diffarett intervals. It takes only 1 about six days for these to hatch into larva. ! and now the work of havoc begins. From 1 seventeen to twenty days these larva feed and 1 gorge themselves upon the vine, and trnlj their name is legion. Stoving stowed away sufficient provender to tost during their coming ■ seclusion, they ..descend into the ground, change into tha second, or pupa state, and here remain for a period not to exceed twelve days. These in their tain then come forth as perfectly formed nmccts, mate together, and in another wook the second crop of eggs begins to ba hid. From those facta it will appear that from the laying of an egg the time when the insect produced thereby will itself perform the same office the whole time occu­ pied is only about seven or coven and a half weeks. On account of the high price of potatoes during the last winter and spring, a ’arge quantity was planted in Central New York this season, bntwe understand that some far­ mers became discouraged when they saw what a contest with the insect pest lay before them. With the absolute certaijity of such a fight, unless such early precautionary m easures as wo have pointed out bo taken, some have abandoned their potatoes altogether, and planted their fields with com or beans or some other crop. But we do not consider this either necessary or wise. • This enemy is not more unconquerable than many another with which the farmer has had to contend and successfully too. From numerous experiments which have been nude, their scorns to be no­ thing more certain than that the proper nse of arsenite or copper commonly known as Paris green, will effectually destroy the po­ tato bug, both in its larva and insect state, and that too without injury to the tubers or danger to human life. It seems that in some parts of Masuchasetta the Board of Health has strictly forbidden the sale of Paris green at retail, under the impression that its nse upon the potato plants affects the potatoes themselves. But throughout the West, where it has been thoroughly trtted and where hun- drods of tans have been used with success in killing the bug. no oaae of poisoning has ever been reported as caused by the use thereof. Of course it must bo handled carefully and used with discretion. The best rule for its mixture seems to bp one pound of Parit green to thirty pound* of wheat ijuddllnge. In mix­ ing, it is well to tie a cloth over ths month and nostrils to avoid inhaling any of the fine dust which may arise. Place it in a tightly covered tin pail with holes punched in the bottom, or, if convenient, in some sort of a vessel with a stiff side handle. Go cut in the early morning when the dew is on the.plaute and sprinkle them, so that the mixture may adhere to the leaves and insects. If a little of It does reach the soil it will readily bo ab­ sorbed thereby, without injury to the potato tubers. Never used the mixture when the plants are dry, for the dust is then liable to be wafted about in the atmosphere, and in­ haled by the Inngs. While we do not appre­ hend the least danger from a careful and judicious application of this poison, it must be borne in mind that it is a poison, and that it is insidious in its nature. It needs care in handling, care in mixture, care in use. This care being exercised, it can be used without harm or danger ; and there is no question that it is death to the insects. Use it; nse it care­ fully ; use it upon the vinet and not upon the ground ; and you will ba rewarded by a good crop of potatoee.—Utica Herald. ml dairymen shon!4 learn fnxn these facta » ptwvidad with an etamdaaee of pure water, so located that it is easy ef k nm at all times. a-Mufliquidz. w» cannit reuimmen I pnahins Uw point to that extent which stay effect the health of stock sr reduce the quality of mQjj to a lov staadard.-Asnif Hew Tarter. taring Cheese and Imprerlng the Product.

What did his irony relative to India por­tend P Hitherto, she had quite forgotten tbo letter 4rom Mr. Lindsay, and now,breaking ths seal, sought an explanation. A few faded flowers fell out u she un­ folded it, and ore she completed ths peru­sal. a cry escaped her. Mr. Lindsay wrote that his health had suffered so severely from the climate pf India, that he bad been compelled to surrender his missionary work■to stronger hands, aud would return to hii 'native land. Ho behoved that rest andAmerica would iOBtoro him, and now he fully declared tho natxro of his affection, aud the happiness with which bo antiei-pated hia reunion w4'i bar; reminding her of her farewell promise,’ that nona should hare his place in her heart. More thanonce, she read the closing words of that long letter. 'I bad intended deferring this declara­tion until you were eighteen, and restored to your mother's care; but my unexpected­ ly early return, and the saiarance c. n-tained iu your letters that your love .is inno degree diminished, determine me to ac­ quaint you at once with the precious hop« that an gladdens the thought of our ap­proaching reunion. While yonr decision must of course be subject to and <lcpi-n lent on your mother's approval, I wish you toconsult only the dictates of your heart ; belisving that all my future must bo either brightened or clouded by your verdict. 1 Open the package.given to you in our tasl 1 interview, aud if you Lava faithfully kepi, 1 your promise let ma see upon yonr bandthe ring, which I shall regard as the pledge of oar bethrothal.

Below tho signature, and dated a weeklater, were several lines in Mrs. Lindsay's handwriting, informing her that bar son hid again been quite ill,, but was improv­ing; aud that within the ensuing ten daysthey expected to sail tor Japan, and tbooca to San Francisco, where Mrs. Lindsay'sonly sister resided. In conclusion sbo ear­ nestly appealed to Regina, as tho daughter of her adoption, not to extinguish tho hope that formed so powerful an clement in thsr ‘covery of her son Douglass. Was: it the mercy of God, or tbs grimdecree of fatalism, or the merest aoridentthat provided this door of escape, when she was growing Jesp^raW 2Numb with heart-ache, aud strangely be­ wildered, Rsgina could recognize it only as « providential harbor, into which she couldsafely retreat from tbs storm of suffering that was beginning to roar around her. Recalling the peaceful happy ysara spentat the parsonage, and the nobls ch. r ctor of the man who loved hor so dovi le lly, who had so teudeyly cared/or her throughthe season of Ler childhood,—a gush of grateful emotion pleaded that she owad him all he uow asked.When she contrasted the image of tho pale student, so nff-’clionate. ®o unselfishlydonsiderato in all things.—with the com­ manding .figure, and cold, guarded, non­ committal fees of Mr. Polina,—she shiv­ ered and groaned ; but the comparison onlygoaded her to find safety in the sheltering lore that mist at baft giv» hw P’in.If she ware DouglwS Liudsay's wife would she not find it far easier to forget hsr guardian? Would it ba sinful to promiseher hand to one while her heart stubbornly enshrined the other 7 She loved Mr. Liud-say very mush;—be seemed holy in his “^Kdketxraly uttselfisb and deeply religious life—perhaps other feelings would grdtar uptowarS-him? In re-reading the totter alio saw that Mr,Lindsay bad informs J Mr. Palma of the proposal which it contaiuod; as bo deemed it due to her guardian to acquaint him withthe sentiments they entertained for each other..

Kneeling beside her bed, she prayed that, God would help her to do right—would i guide Lor into tho proper path—would . enable her to do her duty, first to her[ mother, then to Mr. Lindsay. When ehe rose, titering shone on herleft hand, and though her face was worni and pallid, her mournful eyes were undim­ med, and she sat down to write her motherfrankly concerning tho feelings ef intense i gratitude, and perfect confidence, which , prompted her to accept Mr. Lindsay's offer' —provided Mrs. Orme consented to the betrothal. Ere she bad concluded the task, her at­tention was attracted by a noise on thestairs that were situated near her door. It was lather too early for Mrs. Palma'sreturn from the opera, and the servants wars all iu a different portion of the build­ ing.Rogina laid down her pen, and listened. Slow, heavy footsteps were ascending, and recognizing nothing familiar in the sound,she walkod quickly to the door which stood «yar, and looked out.A tall woman,' wrapped in a heavyshawl, had reached rthe landing, nnd as the gaslight fell upon her, Regina startol forward.‘ Olga 1 wo did not exp'<ft yon until to­ morrow—but you are disguised I Oa! what is the matter *?’Wan and haggard, apparently ten years older than when she ran down those steps a week previous—Jepar: ng for Albauy,Olga stood clinging to tho mahogany rail of the balustrade. Her large straw bouuot had fallen back, tho heavy hair was slip­ping low on neck and brow, and her sunk­ en eyes had a dreary stare. * Are you ill ? What has happened 2Dear Olga, apsukto me." She threw her arms around the regal figure, and felt that she was shivering fromhead to foot. As eh* beoame aware of tho close clinging embrace in which Regina hold her, a ghastlysmile parted Olga's colorless lips, and she said in a husky whisper: * Is it you 2 True little heart;—thoonly one loft in all tbo world.* After a fow soconds she added : * Where is mamma 2** At the opera.’ * To see Beelzebub 2 All tbo wj'rld is singing aud playing that now, and y >n may be sure that you aud I shall ba m at thofinal chorus.

Belmont will uot live many months ; he had a hemorrhagefrom his lungs last week, and iu a little while we shall bs united. Ho will not longwait to join me?She leaned back and smiled triumphant­ ly, and Regina became uneasy as she notedths unnatural expression of her eyes. 1 Whsl do yon mean, O'ga ? You make mo unhappy, and I am afraid you are ill.* No, dear—bnt 1 am tired. So tired of everything iu this hollow, 1 sorties*, shama- ful world, and I want to lie down and rest.For eight years, nearly, I have leaned on! one hope lor comfort; now it has crumbled' under me, aud I havo no strength. Will vou let me sleep here with you to-night 2‘ I will not keep you awake.* '' Let too help you to undress. You know I shall be glad to have you here.’ Rogina unbuttoned hor shoes, aud beganto draw them off, while Olga mechanically took down and twisted hor weighty hair.Oooe she put hor hand on her pocket, and her eyes glittered. ‘ I want a glass cf wine, or anything thatwill quiet me. Please go down to the din­ ing-room and get ma something to put me to sleep. My head fools as if it were onfire." The tono was so unusually coaxing that Regina's suspicions were aroused. • I don’t know where to find ths key oftbs wino closet? • Then wake Octavo nnd toll him*to give you some wino. He keeps port and ma-deira for soups and sauces. You must. I would du as much for you. I will go toOctave? She attempted to rise, but Regina feign­ ed acquiescence, aud loft tho room, closing the door, but leaving a crevice. Outside,she knelt down and poeped through the key-hole. Alarmed by tho unnatural expression oftbo fiery hazel eyes, a horrible dread over- shadowed her, and she trembled from headto foot. While she watched, Olga rose, turned hor bead and listened intently ; thou she drew something from her pockt and Reginnsaw that it was a gtass vial. * I win at last. To-morrow, mamma and Ler stepson will not exult over theirvictory. If I have an immortal soul, may God—my Miker and Judge, have mercyup >n me 1' She drea >attha cork with her teeth, turned, and as she lifted the vial to her lips, Regina ran iu aud seized herarm. * Olga, yon are mal J Would you mur­der yourself 2' They grappled I Olga was much tailorand now desperately strung, but luckily Regina had her fingers also on tbo glass, and dragging down the fingers that clench-cd it, the vial was inverted, aud n portion of the contents fell upon tbo carpet. Feeling the liquid run throughher fingers, Olga ultereda cry of struck the girl a heavy blow in the baffled rage and despair, up andface, that made her stagger; but almost frautic with terror, Regina improved the opportunity afforded by the withdrawal ofone of tbo targe hands, to tighten her own grasp, and in the renewed struggle succeed­ ed in wrenching away tho vial. Tho n«xt instant sbo had hurled it against the marbleinantie-rieco, nnd saw it splintered into numberless fragments. As tbo wretched woman watched thefluid oozing over tbo hearth, she cried out, and covered her face with her bauds.* Dear Olga, you are delirious, nnd don’tknow what you are doing.

Oh I if you had only lot mo alone! I should very soon havebeen so quiet; out of even Erls Palma's way! Now------'She gave utterance to a low distressingwail, and rocked herself, murmuring some iusoherout words. ' Olga, your mother has come, and unlessyou wish her to hoar you, and come in, do try to compose yourself? Shuddering at ths mention of bormother, sbo grew silent, moody, and Euffurod Rogina to undress hor. After s tong while, during which she appeared ab­solutely deaf to all appeals, she rose, smiled strangely, and threw herself across the bed; bnt tho eyes wore beginning tosparkle, and now and then she taugusd al­ most hysterically. When an hour bad passed, and no soundcame from the prostrate figure, Regina leaned over to took at her, and discoveredthat sbo was whimpering rapidly some an- intelligible words. Once she started up exclaiming:* Don't have such a hot fire 1 My head is scorching? Regina watched her anxious’y, softlystroking one of Uvr hands, trying to soothe her to sleep; but after two o'clock, whtn she grew more restless and incoherent inher muttering, the young nurse full assured she was sinking into delirium, and decidedto consult Mrs. Palma. 1 What is the matter, Regina 2' • Olga has corns home, and I fear she isvery ill. - Certainly she is delirious? • Oh 1 then ths has heard it already 1 She must have seen the paper. I knew nothingof it until to-night, when Erie’s hasty note from Philadelphia re ached me, after I leftthe opera, I dreaded the effect upou my poor, uufortunate child. Where is she 2' * Iu my room? CHAPTER XXVII. URING the protracted illnessthat ensued, Olga temporarily lost the pressure of the bur­den she had boms for so many years, and entered into that Eden which her imagination had painted, ere thsanddsn crash and demolition of her Chateaux on Espagns. Her delirium was never violent and raving, but took the sub­dued form of abestified ex:stenc«. In a tow voice, that was almost a whisper, shebabbled ceaeelessly of her s iprcme satisfao- Uon in gaining the goal of all her hopes, and dwelt upon the beauty of hsr ehatothome, ths tinkling music of ths bells on distant heights where cattle browsed—the Isapieg of mountain torrents just beyondhsr Window—■ths oooing of ths pigeons upon the tall peaked renf— the breath of mignonette and violets stealing through theopen door. When pounded ice was laid upon her head, an avalanche was ahding down, and tho snow sainted her in passing*,and when the physician ordsred more light admitted that he might examine thsunnaturally glowing eysa, she complained that the sun was setting upon a glacier andths Mass blinded her. Now she aat on a mossy knoll beside Belmont, reading stand Bushanan's “Pan," and "The Sirsu," whilehe sketched the gbyll; aud anon she panssd in her recitation of favorite passages, towsteh the eoton deepen on the uanvaes.From the beginning Dr. Badyhsm had pronounced ths soac peculiarly diAcallam da^proua. and as ths days wore on hmH i shock had produced the aberrationthat baffled bis .idfl, and threateusd to psrmsuently disorder bar focal Um . girl's hand, aba would smilingly talkof tho peace and happiness reaped at last, by her marriage with Belmont Eggleetou, and enjoin upon her the necessity of pre­serving from * Mamma and Erie Palma,' the secret of her asoludsd little cottageheme. On the fourth night, Mrs. Palma was soprostrated by grief and watobing, that shesuccumbed to a violent nervous headache, and was ordered ont of the room by thopl ydcian, who requested that Regina might for a fow hours be entrusted with thecare of his patient. ‘ Bnt if aoythirg should happen ? And Fsgma is so inexperienced ?' sobbed the unhappy mother, bonding over her child,who was laughing at the gambols, of some chamois, wbiulx dclerium painted on thewall. ' Miss Orme will at least obey my orders.She is w .toilful and possesses unusual self- control, which, you, my dear tn ad am, utterly lack in a sick room. Beside, Olgayields more readily to her, than to any one olso, and I prefer that Miss Orme shouldhavo the care of her. Go to bed, Madam, and I will send you an anodyne that will compose you.' If any change occurs, you will call meinginutly ?• ' You may rest assured, I shall.*Mrs. Palma leaned over her daughter, and her tears fsll upon tho burning face of the sufferer, tho latter put up lur handsand eai I : ‘ Be'mont, it is raining, and your picturewill bo ruined, and mamma will ridicule your fa4ure. Cover it quick.' * Olga, my darling, kiss mamma good­night.* But she was busy trying to abield theimaginary painting with one of the pillows,and began in a quivering voico to sing Lonfellow's "RainyDay." Her mother pressed her lids to the Lot cheek, but sheseemed unconscious of tbo caress, and weeping bitterly, Mrs. Palma loft the room. As she passed into tho hall, a cryescaped her, and the broken words : ‘ Oh Erie, I thought you would nevercouio ! My pocr child I’ Dr. Suydam closed the door, and draw­ ing Regina to t'io window, proceeded toquestion her closely, aud to instruct her conceruiug the course of treatment he desired to pursue. Should Olga's pulse»ink to a certain stage, specified doses must bo given ; and in a possiole condition of the patient, ho must bo instantly noli- ‘ I am glad to find Mr. Palma has re­ turned.. Though he knows no more thana judge's gayal of what is needful in a sick­ room, he will bo a support and comfort to ail, and bis nerves never flag, never waver.Keep a written record of Olga’s condition at the hours specified, and shut her mother ont of tho room as much as possible. Iwill try to put her to sleep for tho next twelve hours, aud-by that time we shall know tho result. Good-night.’ Olga had violently opposod tho removalfrom Regina's room, aud in accordance with her wishes, she had rem lined whore her weary whirling brain first rested, on tho night of h-r return. Arranging themedicine and glasses, aud turning down the light, Itagina put on her pnlo blue dres- siug.gawn girded at the waist b; a cordand tassel, an.i loosely twisted nnd fastened her hair iu a large coil low on her head and u?ck. She had slept none since Olgacamo Lome, and anxiety and fatigue had left uunn'stakablo traces on her pule sad face. The letter to her mother had boonfinished and signed, but still lay in the drawer of her portable writing desk, awaiting envelope and stamp; and so op-pressed bad she been by sympathy with Olga's great suffering, that for a time her owu gnef was forgotten, or at least putaside. Thj announcamo it of Sir, Palau's re­ turn vividly ricaPcd all that beo’ouded her future, nnd she b<gan to dread the morrowthat would subject her to Lis merciless bright eyes, fueling that his presence was dangerous. Perhaps by careful maocenvr-ing she might screen herself in the sick­ room for several days, and thus avoid the chance of np interview, which must resultin an inquiry concerning 1 »r answer to Mr. Lindsay’s letter. Fearful of hnr owntreacherous heart, she was unwilling tndiscuss her decisiou, uuiil assured she had grown calm and firm, from cmtiuued con-templntinn of h*r future lot; moreover her guardian would probably return from Washington an accepted lover, and sheshrauk from the spectacle of his happiness, as from glowing ploughshares—lying sear- let in her pathway. In this room shewould eusconso herself, and should he send ivt iici, vanuuv CJ?IJ??J rntohl bs devised, to delay the unwelcome iatortioW. Olga had grown more quiet, and for nearly an hour after the doctor's d> pa toreshe ouly now aud then resumed Ler ram­ bling incoherent monologue. Sittingbeside tho bed, Regina watched qnietly until tho click struck twelve, aud she coaxed tbo sufferer to tako a spoonful of asedative from which the doctor hoped much benefit. She bathed the crimson cheeks with a cloth dipped inico water, and nil thewhile tbo hazel eyes watched her suspici- o nly. Otlvr reflections began to color hervision, nnd the happy phase was merging into one of terror, lest her lover should die, or be torn away from her. Loarpng over her, Regina endeavored to com nosed herby assurance that Belmont wav’well aud safe, but restlessly she tossed from side toside. At last, she began to cry—softly at first, "like a fretful, weary child; and whilelicgiaa held her hands, essaying to soothe her, a shadow glided between the gas globs and tho hod, and Mr. Palma stood besidethe two. He looked pale, anxious and troubled, as his eyes rested sorrowfully onUte fevered face upon the pillow, and hesaw that the luxuriant hair bad been close­ ly clipped, to facilitate applications, to relieve the brain. Ths parched lips werebrowned nnd cracked, and the vacant stare in the eyes told him that consciousness wasstill a long way off. But was there even then a magnetic re­cognition, dim and vague, of the person whom she regarded as the inveterate enemy of her happiness ? Coweringamong the bedclothes, she trembled and •aid, in a husky, yet sudible whisper:* Will you hide u« a little while ? Bel­ mont and I will soon sail, and if Erie Palma and mamma knew it, they would tear me from my darling, and chain me to8ila« Congreve—and that would kill me. Oh 11 only want my darling, not the Con­greve emeralds, only my Belmont, my darling.’ Something that in any other man wouldhave been a groan, came from the lawyer's granite lipe, and Rsgina. who shivered at bis preeoucs, looked up aud said hastily;* Please go away, Mr. Palma; the sight of you will make her worse?He only folded bis arms over bis chest, sighed, and sat down, keeping his ayes fixed on Olga. It was one o'clock before■he eeasad her passionate pleading for pro­ tection from those whom she believed' intent upon sacrificing her, and theu turn­ing her face to the wall aha became silent, only occasionally muttering rapid indis­tinct sentences. For aonae time Mr. Palma sat with his elbow on Lis knee, and bis head resting onhis baud, and even in that honr of deep anxiety and dread, Bogina realised thatshe was completely lorgoteo; that be Lad neither looked at, nor apoken to her.

The Teachers' Committee of th* Board of School Trustees at tho last meeting of th* Board held on Toeaday evening fast presented th* following report: Your committee, after th* most carefulconsideration, fee! that the requirement* of our common School ar* ench that to main­ tain efficiency and to •ranr* tb* propergrading of scholar* mor* school accommo­ dation is required in the building south ofth* river than wo at present have, and ns it is desirable, for reason* well known to the Board, to have the High School sepa­rate and away from the mor* advanced classes ef the Common School, we recom­mend that after the holidays the HighSchool shall occupy two rozms in tho building north of the river, and that th*highest grades, at present taught by Miu Buchanan, be brought over to the otherschool and a now ronm there created which would release the three rooms which aro aud have been for a long time overcrowded.Thia change would obviate the necessity of engaging another male teacher, which will be a saving of *250 a year to the Boardaud will secure much greater efficiency in the Common School and will place theHigh School in a more desirable position. The room* that ar* uow overcrowded would not be relieved by the opening of a fourthroom in the school north of the river as the pressure is mostly felt in the threejunior rooms on this side, and tbeso young children eonld not be expected to croea the railway track and go to the other school.It would, on the other band.be no hardship for children in more advanced classes orscbolftrs of the High School to go to eit^r of the buildings.

After reading the report the Board into committee of the whole for its consid­ eration, Mr. Chadwick in tho chair. Tho adoption of this report woe moved by Mr. Kiug, and seconded by Mr. Eakins. Mr. King, in support of th* adoption of the report, said that committee had long felt that a change of some kind was urgently required to relievo tho three junior rooms which were and had been for a long time overcrowded. By tho Princi­ pal's report, read to-night, it will bo seen that Room No. 8, lias 115 scholas on the roll, a number which it was impossible for any one teacher to do justice to. Tho next two rooms as well as No. 4, wer* nho en­ tirely overcrowded, and to improve tbo grading and make a proper division of tho whole Common School the scheme pro­ posed wa* tho one which commended itself most to tho judgment of your Committee. You will sec that promotions tako place under tho proposed arrangement iu all tbo rooms every six months and none of tbo rooms teach more than the ma grade, to Uiat scholars will enter oursebool at Room No. 10, on the South, or Room-No. 2 on the North, and pas* ou step by step every six months until they reach the principal room and then pass into the High School. Tbo High School so far from being injured will have tho advantage of being entirely separate from the larger classes of the Common School and can in no way suffer by th* change. Tho saving of $250 a year to tbo Board sbonld also be considered. Whatever fate awaits this report your Com­ mittee would assure the Board that they are actuated only by one desire and that is to increase the efficiency of our schools as a whole and recommend tho report to the kindly consideration of the Board. Mr. Wattcrworth opposed the adoption of the report, saying, be thought there were scholars enough fora fourth room on the north side of tbo river and that the propo* sition did not give as much public sclidfl accommodation to the north sidl M they now possessed. Mr. Eakin*—The report had not been laid before them in a hurried manner and they must not discus* it from a sections! point of view but for the interests ol the whole town. A difficulty existed which bad to be ovecome. The room* on the south side of the river were overcrowded. How is this to be remedied I We find iu one room 115 scholar*. The report is a remedy for this evil. The larger children eonld come on the south side belter than the small ones con go north. The High School should be separate a* far a* posible. If we create another room and employ a female teacher a saving of $250 would bo effected. Mr. Bain said the report just read sound­ ed very nice but it vu very on*-sided. He would like to sc* both side* properly grad­ ed. If the report is adopted they defeat th* object tho new school wa* built for. Why not have a few children go from this side to th* north, ae well a* vice vena t ' It is making more travel with no room gained. It will cause dissatisfaction to bolhsidaalf the Grammar School is re­ moved to tho north side. There wore two ( difficulties to ovaroome ; 1st, the want of a male teacher for th* north school; 2nd, th* ov«rcrowd*d state of th* south school: th* one is ignored and th* other supplied— not using eue part of th* community equal with the other. Mr. Ferguseon fell compelled to support tho report ou it* merits. Mr. Crisp—Th* school on ths north aid* lacked disciplin*. If th* Principal of th* Grammar School would ***um* th* care of the school, th* speaker had very liul* to object to. B* J«»ir*d to so* an effective school there, without fejoatie* to any, and with aaiiafaction to alL Mr. Bare—Heard th* report nud thought ageoddralrfH. It will ta a sxrpris* to snany. Moved in amendiment by Mr. Watter- went THK PABK. The Park, which wa* plowed up, levelled and seeded last summer and fall, having had the gras* cat during the past fortnight was in first-rate condition for these sports, and wo must congratulate our Park Com­ mittee, of this and last year, on tho very great improvements which have been made. With a little money and care, judiciously laid out each year, our town park will,in a very short time, beCotno a very pretty place —not only a credit to tho town,but a pleas­ ant place of resort. fihemex’s1 racls. TJjc races of tbo Hose Compnnier and the Hook A Ladder Company, took place on Oxford street, about 11 o'clock, and ex­ cited a good deal of interest, not only in thoso who participated, but in tho immense crowd of spectators that lined the street, on the course of the race. Tho throe hose reels were manned by six men each, and between tho Steamer and Protection Com­ panies tho race was very closely contested, tin Steamer boys coming out only about one yard ahead. The Hook A Ladder Company's race was against time. They were to run a distance of 100 yards, elevate the extension ladder, and have a man at the top within three minutes—they did it in just one miuuto and three quarters. Tbo race was a good ono and although the feat was a difficult and somewhat hazard­ ous one, yet tbo alacrity and system which they displayed in their movements made it a very simple undertaking. <rnE cal it qumpians. At about the snmo lime that tbeso races were going on, tho band of Culitlinmpians put in their appearance On tho street, and n moro hideous nud ungainly looking set of desperadoes never made themselves so conspicuous on our streets. From the highest grade, in a social point of view, among this tribo, down even to tho hang­ man and bis victim, were to bo seen in the procession. Th»y had a rather anti-delu- vian style of vehicles in the procession,and if eomo of tho horses were not good for hard work, they would have made very useful crow-ba:ts. Tho procession created a good deal of amunsement, and was heart­ ily enjoyed by tho juveniles. B0Y.U. SALUTE AT NOON. Al noon another Royal salnto was fired1, which was the signal for dinuer. After which there was a continual*stream of people—mon, women and children, of all grades, classes, avocations and persuasions —wending their way from all parts of the town to tho park. THE BAND played a few lunes at the Town Hull and then took up the line of march to tho grounds selected for the sport* and games. Here we might remark that our band deserves great praise for tho part they took in the day's proceedings. They have, of ]ate, mad* great improvement in their playing, afid W* Aro *ure every one mn»i feci grateful to them for their untiring efforts in catering to the musical part of the programme. A’.HLETIC GAMES. At about 2 o'clock the athletic game* commenced on the park and prize* offered were well contested for by a large number of amateur athletes. The rising ground to the south of the park was crowded with spectators who appeared to take a deep interest in their several favorite* who took part. The scan* at this time wa* a vary pretty one, and w* are happy to state that owing to tho very excellent management everything passed off pleasantly and satis- factorily to all concerned. While these sport* were in progress a game of BASK BALL was going on at another part of th* park, and altog*th*r th* picture presented was on* of th* most lively kind. At tb* close of these sports a general stampede wa* made for the pond where the •OAT BACK AMD AQUATIC BTOBTS were to take plac*. This was, undoubtedly, the most enjoyable part of th* day'* fan.
