Ho spoke at Kingston the other day, and word was sent down from Napinee some miles distant, to apeak in a lower tune of voice as there was a man sick in that village." Th3 By-Law for further aid to tho Credit Valley Bailway Company will bo submit ted to the vote oj the ratepayers on the 641 of August next. During the past week i we notice that a good deal of opposition, as to the passage of the By-Law, has sprang up, and tho -Intervening time will, no doubt, bo taken up iu a full discursiou upon the merits and demerits of the scheme. Up to the present time there has been u good deal of by-t alk, but little public dis cussion of the queslivn. The By-Law and agreement to be entered intd orc published iu another part of this issue and we would recommend orery rate-payer to mako a careful study of it. Tho advantages to be gained by additional railway facilities arc urgent and of groat importanco to every ratepayer iu tho town. But tho question naturally arises will this additional gram secure the desired end, and will tho ad ditional btirJ.en* imposed by increased tax ation, be recouped by the advantage* to bo gained by tho building of the road. These and othet very important considera tions have to be taken into'account before we lay upon ourselves such an enormons burden as the proposed additional bonnr imposes. There will bo donsiderable op position to tho By-Law, and this opposi tion, although it may not be strong enough to defeat tho enactment, will servo a goot) purpose in bringing to light tho arguments both for and against its passage. In the present stage of tbo contest we refrain from giving our opinions upon the ques tion, but would invite a free dfecu'sion, through onr columns, by correspondents, whose opinions, on either side, wo will gladly make public. The recent disastrous firo in St. John is a forcible reminder of the importanco of securing protection by insurance in those Companies that are at all limes prepared tu meet an extraordinary demand upon thcii resources—a casuality that is liable to hap pen at any time, and which the expcrienc* of the past few years has proved to bo on< of the eventualities that sooner or later must befal all firo insurance companies ; hence the necessity of prudent conserva tism in the managementof a business that is so much at the mercy of unforseen con tingencies. The business is a precarious one at tho beet, and a spirit of unhealthy competition has materially increased this hazard. The aim on tho port of the in sured for some years past has been to get cheap insurance without any regard to th* actual cost for which such indemnity can be furnished, and the anxiety ol many companies to obtain business on these tarms has proved disastrous in its results to them. Competition is very desirable when exercised iu a wholesome, judicious man- ncr, but when carried to that extent that goods and wares are sold bflow their actual cost, bankruptcy and rain, we know too Well, are tho inevitable results. Am one who will Italy the Blue Book pub lished by the Government on insurance will there see at a glanoj that the business of tire insurance, for the past few yean, so far as the Canadian business is concerned, has been most unramunerative—in fact, generally speaking, it has been done at a very considerable loss. The amount paid by Way of premiums lias not been at al) commensurate with tba amount paid for losses, and banco the resalt we now find when a St. John calamity overtake them the consequence is wreck and ruin, and thus af fecting not only the St. John sufferers but individuals scattered all over the country, who* having, as they Imagined, made u good bargain in the way of purchasing, as they thought, cheap indemnity, find in the end they have go} a Very uncertain protec tion, if they have got any at a)l. It is high time that insurance companies set down their foot against this insane compe tition that is flooding the country With a cheap species of indemnity agaimt the devouring element, fire, which ends in •moke and ashen We would aay to those ••eking this kind of isdemnity, select those companies whose record is one of contervatbm and pradsues, the mult of which is large ressnrtMh Parflhate a policy io one of these for what it is worth—no danger that you will ba Charged exorbi tantly, there is loo much competition for that—and when ths day of disaster comes, as some it may st any time, you will foal a SMnrity end a satisfaction in knowing llifl* what you hats paid for will bout your dent is affected.

Tu tba Kditar ot the Tulun Deas Si*,—It ie not very often that I contribute to the Press, and I do so now only for the purpose of giving the public sjme light on a matter of interest to me and to all who are lovers of juslicor-nnd as yonr columns are always open for the ex posure of wrongs and imparling informal- lion* I baVo no hesitation in sanding yon this communication, feeling that you will, _ in justice to a fellow-citizen* allow mo to plafte myself in a true light before the pub- r lie in regard to a Certain case lately tried before two certain mon- who are simply j apologies for magistrates, as to let it be 3 known in the community how far these (men have disgraced their position, and t cruelly tyranized over me, and wrongfully (caused mo to pay them monby. I am not oue who whines or grieves oVcf tbo loss of money, but I have n very strong dis-iucli- i nation to bo so barofacely gouged as I have been iu this instance, and 1 am sura that when the case in question is stated, and tho evidence Considered* there will bo no one ready to blame me for complaining of my treatment at the hands of these men who aro supposed from their positions ta he keenly desirous of dealing out pure justice to all who come before them, in stead of, on account of spite, doing tho very opposite. The case is os follows:— I was summoned to appear before a bench of magistrates to answer to n charge of selling liquor on Saturday night »nd Sunday, the 23rd and 24th of June. After wards the Inspector and Lis detective camo to me—as I understood from good author ity—with tho intention of settling it for $6, but had not time to ask for it, as they lit out pretty lively—ns I was previously informed of their intentions—ob I did not feel inclined to bo black-mailed. I appeared at tho proper time before Messrs* W. S. King and D. M. Robertson. I here sub mit the substance of the evidence tnkon by these Justices (?), and leave it with your readers Io judge if there is anything upon which any magistrate could conscientiously couvicl r-*- First witness called wi« myself, who swore that I neither gave away or sold any intoxicating liquors on the 23rd or 34th of June during prohibited hours ; and that no person drank any liquors on my prem ises during those houra to my knowledge. Next witness was John Hemsworth, who swore he was not in town during either of these days, and consequently could not have possibly drank anything on the prem ises ; ho saw defendant at his (Hems worth’s) place iu DercLam on the evening of tho 24th; ho had a black bottle in tbo br-ggy, but could not say what was in it; John Rensbau was with him; my brother, John Reuabau and defendant drauk out of toe bottle. Next witness was P. Hemsworth, who swore that he was on the premises known hs tbo “ Atlantic House ” on the 2ith of Juno; went to tho barn to put my horse in, And saw a man bide a bottle in the manger; after ho went out I wjnt aud took u drink out of the bottle and pnt it back where I found it; the person who hid the bottle was a stranger to me; I smelt tbo stuff iu the bottle before drinking ; there was no other person in the barn when I drunk ; I was not in the bar-room OU tbo day in question. Next witness was John Haskett, who swore that he was in tbo sitting room of tbo hotel during prohibited hours,and took a drink of ice-water; wasnit in tho bar room ; drauk no intoxicating liquors on the premises on the days in question. This ended tho case. The room was cleared for about 15 minutes, when the defendant was again culled and told that a decision would be given tho next day. Tho next day it was decided by these learned and upright Justices that defendant should pay a fine and costs amounting to S51.G0. Now, I complain of twu things in con nection with this fine. First, I was nut guilty of the charge pieferred, aud should uot have been fined one cent, Second, wen had I been guilty thia would have been the first offence, and I should have bad tbo same leniency extended to me aa ull others on first convictions, that is, I •hould have been fined |2l) instead of 145. It is a clear matter of spite* and no mis take, and it is time the Government stopped appointing men of their stamp to such poailioi e. There can bo no hope of justice from men who appear to abandon all re- o llection of the oath they take when tak ing office, aud who, as in this case, tlunk it proper to flue a man without a single point having been proved against him. There is not, perhaps, a more efficient or honest magistrate in Canada than ’our present Mayor* aud he thought the matter too ridiculous to have anything to do with it, and aaid it was perfectly kbameful to try a ease of the kind. Now, Mr* McDon ald is aa strong a temperance man as is to be found anywhere, but he is too upright a man to commit a wrong upon a fellow- townamkn* be he hotel-keeper or not* for ths cause of temperance* or any other e *nse. People may wonder why, as the case is so flagrant with injustice, I have not appealed to a higher court. With tho intention of doing so, I applied io five dif ferent lawyers in Ingersoll and Woodstock for their opinion. All of them told me there wu not tho slighted doubt of my gaining the appeal, a>d thought the oonviotioo tho moot shameful ever recorded, yet it would cost mo |20 t*> •80 more to gain the appeal than pay tba fine, and m times are an dn’l I cluse to fay iba mailer sum. Why these men an tfotil-ly spiteful towards me perhaps » that they failed to eontiet ma on a similar ^bargS • previous ooessioo, when they • justice being dons to me. There is not a man in the community but who, if these [ magistrates take a dislike to him. i i likelyr to be brought up before them and flnei or . taut to jail, and he is prevented from > getting justice in a higher court for the i want <>f money. The people are in a fan- gerons position, and it is about time sbtne of the power was taken from msftlstraleii, arfll these two particularly should be de- , prived of all power by being dismissed altogether from any office where Intelligent judgment or strict honor is required. It is strange that mon are shoved into posi tion by ths Government, who, had they to depend on the votes of the people where they reside, could not be o'ectfd for ponnd- kcepers. There is always more or less dis grace attached to a person on being brought before a court on any charge; it is there fore hard enough to have to appear when one is guilty of something, but it is very Winch harder to be annoyed with inapec- tofs, detectives, constables and magistrates, who ail try to mako a criminal of tho per son charged, efou wbon no single point in the charge can bo sustained. I have lived in Ingersoll many years; havo brought over 829,030 here and invested it all in the place; pay a tax of about S1C0 ;, keep a hotel second to none in Canada; and never have driven the trade of a tingle fdrmer from our town by my manner of doing burintos. I therefore fed that I havo a claim to bo justly dealt with, even though I am not quite so smooth-tongued and polished in my manners as those who have wronged me ; even though I am not a Grit | even though I am not a tem perance fanatic, for the snko of decency let these men be unseated, and if it is necessary, let two other mon, residents of our towa who, at least command the respect and cctoom o? a few of their fellow-towosnaen, be appointed. I think, | however, two magistrates could bo easily dispensed with in tho Ceunty of Oxford, ' where, through tho kindness of tbo Gov- 1 eminent, uboxt seven Grits out of ten havo ' lately been allowed to write J.

From the Witucu of the IStb. Under circumstances like tho present in Montreal the bist argument that can be used is the plain, honest statement of facts. We.believe that their ia a strong under current of good, solid common sense run ning right through the respectable portion of our population, both Protestant aid Roman Catholic, and that in the light of yesterday’s occurrences there is a deep feel ing of sbamo and regret on tho pa;t of tho latter that their co-religionists, or rather those who professed to be, or to act, on be half of them should havo inado such a dis graceful spectacle in tho eyes of tho com munity ; should have again lowered our city iu tho eyes of the whole world; should havo struck a blow a| Montreal’s prosper ity, which has not yet recovered from the odium ot its breal riots, aud its anti-vac cination riots. Yesterday, Montreal City, in tho words of tbo Presidents of the St, George’s, St. Andrews and tho Irish Pro tectant Benevolent Scciities, was "at the ttlorcy of the mob,” and very tender mercy that was, indocd. Facts such ns these re. ported yesterday and to-day, need no logi cal deductions to be drawn from them. In yesterday’s occurrences tho Orangemen have, as a body, no place. As far as ap pearances went, there were no Orangemen; those who belonged to tho Order could not be separated from other peaceful citizens, deserving of that protection which it is every citizen’s right to obtain, and every public offieer’s duty to give. As a body on the pressure of tho argument of Christian charity and the public peace, they nobly made what was to them a sacrifice, by promising to act in no way which would give excuse for a display of the evil pas sions of any, and the facts show how this was kept, and further how necessary it was to have been kept* When men are looking for an excuse to kill, however, that excuse is easy to be obtained. Yesterday, although thousands made it their business to watch for an opportunity to be offended, only two or three were discovered, and right well they were improved, es three or fonr frightened woman and the corpse of one poor young man to-day testifies. Eaily in the me.rningthe Orange Hall on St. James street wat watched by a crowd of people, waiting to saesULany should ccme out of it; around Knox Church for * time a crowd he’d supreme sway; In Victoria Square the crowd was omnipotent. These demonstra tion! were not against Ohingeism, nor against Orangemen* but against our city’s peace ; not against Protestants bnt against Christianity of Ronjan Catholicism. The testimony of faets prove this* It is hard to say that on any particular person the obloquy of yesterday’s disorder and death rests. But with one accord the eitj* accuses its Chief Magistrate of wilful neglect of duty. Had he in the morning ordered the fores* he had at command, military and civil, to compel th* gathering crowds to move on there would in all probability have been no such gatherings as those wbish bold onr city und«r control, and certainly the mob would not have had the distin- guishsd part of being the arbitrators of oar city's honor for svsn a few hour*. *fhis in the morning would not have required much effort. Bat it was not until tbo eriids had completely passed that ha took any action at all, not until he bad sent his snrem! meoeengsr in plain clothrs to sac if then really was any sign of a disiittl anee. Yes terday th* polio* did quite as well aa was generally expected of them. They snivel kith* Seens of artion acme lime af.sr th* trouble* had ps®wd, and left it before they * around different buildings in th* vicinity of » Victoria Square, and who were tamed out > on thrsignal of a whistle. We must con- • sider them a mob gathered together for il- i legal purposes and ask the members of tbo Irish Catholic Union to join all good citi zens in bringing them to justice arid thus , expiate a crime against religion as well ns against peace. Th* facte of yesterday have shown all good citizens that onr city is ' I ruled from the foot instead of from tho head. The evil passions control, not the g«od ones. This is not a matter that our people should divide on as Religious bodiesbut a* or.lor-loving citizens and disorder- loving citizens; as honest men and dishon- ost men j Ms Christians and ns those whodisgrace any rdigious body they connect themselves with. In this matter os wellas on the One of equal liberties to all there shonld be no religious feeling shown. What effects one ehnrch effect* another. All are scandalized by turmoil, all are benefitedby peace, all are honored and elevated by the spirit of love. When will this bo seenplainly ? Certainly not so long os tho rule that “might is right” prevails. THE MURDER OP HACKETT. An eye-witness who is not connectedwith cither party, gave tho following ac-count of the murder:—I was walking along Bonaventure street when I saw the crowdin Victoria Square rushing up towards Beaver Hall Hill. I went to see what was the matter, and found that tho trouble was caused by an Orange lily having boon tornfrom * woman. After that I went down to Victoria Square, nnd soon after saw a man rashing ulong pursued by the crowd.Ilerdntipthe steps of Dunn’s store, the glass door of which was quicklv shut. I was but a few feet distant, directly behindGiroux. The person pursued turned about and fired point blank into tho crowd* I saw Giroux move bis head a little to onesilo. He had bum Wohid.-d in the cheek.Every fean in Ilia crowd appeared to have a pistol or revolver of some kind. Threemen RUSHED UP THE STEPS. Two camo down again. The other seized Hackett, as I now know tho pursued to be, by the neck, and a scuffle followed.Hackett’s enemy was a little taller and evi- dently stronger than he, and succeeded in getting hold of th* unfortunate man’s pistol arm, of which Hackett conld not therefore 1 mrkj use; although he exploded more than one chamber; I think the balls musthave struck tho steps. His opponent had his head—to use * boxing expression—in chancery, nnd in that position fired nt him.It aeemeu to me ns if during tbo fight the crowd blazed away nt both tho combatants, bnt I do not know where tho bullets wont.I saw n woman walking down the stops,but whence sbg camo I do not know. She limped n way as if she bud been wounded in tho leg. During tho fight the two menbad got down nearly to tho foot of the stairs. Hero the taller man fired n second shot nt bis victim, who was then quitepowerl-ss. The vilhtan then draggedHac- katl to the sidewalk, flung him down, and again fired nt him, saying quite loud “Served thod------b-------right.” He then dis appeared amongst the crowd. I knew yonng Heckett well by sight, but I did notrecognize him during’the fteht. The mtir- derons attack seemed to last ten minutes, bnt I firmly believe that it was all over inless than half a minute. I never in my life witnessed suehu brutal aceno nnd I hope I never shall again.

That such neutrality is jeal. onsly watchful of Russian progress may bo inferred from tho fait that Iloumani*and Scrvia still refrain from active co-oper ation in the war. Both are the merest croalnres of Russia’s will. Their helpwould bo valuable in Bulgaria now, especi ally that of Servia. If Russia hesitates to call them into action the reason, in allprobability Is fear of Australian intorven- tion, which would bo fatal to Russianplans.

Homicide la London Tevnihlp, FATAL TEEMUTATIOX OT A QUARREL. London, July 16.—A shocking homicide took place in tho township of London onFriday night last. On that evening two men named William Willis aud Joseph Bodfield, tho latter a blacksmith of Devizes were walking homo together from ProspectHill. On tbo way, feeling weary, both laiddown for a sleep. The story goes that Bad field was awakens I By bis fi fends en deavors to search his pockets. Hb discov ered him in tho act ol robbing Lim. Anaccusation of this kind was made by Bod-ficld, aud a serious dispute ensued, Willis denying the charge. The row culminatedia Badficld being struck by Willis a violent blow over the heal with a club, knocking him down and leaving him insenrible where bo lay. Willis then proceeded to ProspectHill, a distance of about two mile*, aud related what had taken nines to Mr. Lyonswho nt ones drove to Ilia spot knd found Bodfleld, us Willis had represented, still insensible aud covered with bloedr He took the msu into bis wagon, and conveyed him to bis (Lycn\) house, where Dr. Stephenson, of Bryauston, was summon ed to attend him. The doctor pronouncedthe case a desperate one, aud about two hours afterwards Bodfield died.

Itaeems to realize more near ly man’s beat -cetete in this world than any condition we know of or can imagine. Buch a farm we had the pleasure of seeing dost sreek, in the town ef Chili, about ten nUee week of this city. Richard P. Hubbard Eves about i mile nnrtN nf Chili Rtotion, on tho Buffalo Division tK the New York Central, near a fear corn ers ualled North Chili. He has some 340 acre* of strong grav*Hy loam, with lime stone basis, nearly every foot, excepting his woodland, arable. He dwalb in a pleasant, elegant farm house, well, finished, outside and in, and richly furnished, and his lady is well qualified to preside over such an inviting homo. He has thrso other dwelling houses on the farm. The farm is remarkably well watered, and yet there is not a pnmpen it Beck of his ■ dwelling is A two-acre lot, farriy bubbling over with springs of pnre cold water. • The first spring you come to is some eighteen or twenty feet square, and five or six feet deep, — and the supply is so abundant as to furnish a goodly .sized fish-pond in one direction, a hydraulic ram in another, that throws suffi- X cicnt water to hi* barn to supply his large etock, and a brooklet in another, that turns a water-wheel for doing his churning in the milk-henee Bear. In other parts of this two- acre lot are fine springs, and they could pro bably bo multiplied to any dersirablo ex tent In other fields on the farm are very copiotu springs, which can bo conveniently reached from the different posture lots. Seated in alight buggy, behind a fast horse, We first toek a road running west from the four comma. The first field wo pass, a large one, is iu barley—and it is tho best barley wo have soon this year—tall, thick, with largo heads of the six-rowed variety. On the opposite side is a thriving young orchard, like ethsrorchards this year barren, with the exception of two rows of Keswick Codlins which are loaded with fruit Next, on the right hand, wo pass a thick clover stubble. The clover was cut two weeks since, and secured without being wet and now, tho aftermath is growing for seed. Next, we ride along side of a fifty-acre field of CUFwson wheat. Before leaving it, we ride on throe sides and admire its even ness, all over tho field, its tall strew, ite long, heavy heads. We have seen a great deal of good wheat this year, bat none better than that field, and no largo field equal to it. Wo do not think Mr. H. is very wild in esti mating that it will yield forty bushels to the acre. To produce that wheat, ho turned under, last July, clover that would yield about one and a-half tons to the acre. Of three popular plows which he need, the “ Gale ” was the only one that would bury everything completely out of sight, and ko greatly pre fers it to any other he has tried. On the opposite sidojof the road is a large field of oats, (has forty acres in all) which h*vo evidently not suffered much from the spring drouth. They are thick, bread leaved, dark and luxuriant A little further on is a field of peas of which he grows about fifteen acres for his swine, feeding them in the - straw, He thinks very much of peas for fat tenniug hogs. This brings ns to his west line and, returning upon oar course, we tarn into a Uno, and ride along tho east side of his Wheatfield to a large clover pasture, and in this, ride along the north aids of his wheat field. Iu this pasture lot kre feeding nearly a dozen horses, six or eight cows and some Where in tho neighberhood of 180 merino ahcep. Ha keeps about thirty horses, which he has bred from Crittenden stock, thirty or forty swine, of the Poland China breed, and gruua obout thirty steers. This pasture lot is considerably elevated about tho somewhat flat country for many miles around, and the prospect is very fine. One peculiarity of tho ■urfaco of this farm is, that it descends frflm every part towards thu bams, which facilitates drawing in its product*. Returning to the four comers, we ride northward, passing along the east side of the barley field (which shows equally well from all directions), by another lacge clover past ure in which are grazing thirty tine steen, by » large field of com which was drilled in, and will not be hoed. The corn has a good start and is of a dark, healthy color. Tho corn is QU a clover sod, which received last year’s manure. Part of his wheat he sows on clover, and part on oats and barley stubblr. Beyond the corn-field we trim westward, riding along the north side ut the corp and of re viral acres ef jotetcca, which occupy part at the Istge field, and are looking well. Beyond this is a fine wood lot, a portion of which ia covered with large maples, beeches, basswood., Mlnte-arh aBd hickory; ancl part has been cut off and grown up again to thick ets of maple and bccch raplinge. On our rctera to the honoo we make a de- **’*”’• pbMing through the farm df the Rev. B. T. Keberta, who carrira oa a pretty good farm and a school of tho Free Mrthodirt per- •uaaion. The school house le a large brick edifice, which may be seen from • great diz- tauce. He has pupil* from distant cities. The proprietor and school eeenu t> bo highly appreciated in that section. The aoathcaateru portion of Mr. Hubbard's fams to* n large field of good wheat, alter oete, two large meadows of clover, timothy mid gram, nearly aU of which was . secure^ fa the barns, the remnant* of an .oncieut orchard which oontinaea to bear quite well fa fa* deoliee, a y can ger oi chard, also a KxtHCraM *ff*4 1*re»«*« WffhawrepeaB^r dwelt on «>• neeeraity of keeping milch cewe at «D tinea in a uni formly good condition. Any dcterioiatiun not only cause* a speedy decrease in the yield of milk, but even after extra breading has Restored the animal to her former good state, it often happens that the former flow of milk does not rwdily return. Whenever, there fore, there is any Bkelihood of a nearoity of ■ ordinary lood or 'parture, it ia always ad visa, bl* to have at handsome means uf temporar ily supplementing the scant supply. We fully agree with a late article in tho Rational Lite Stock Journal, that as there i* a constant relation between the food eaten and tho milk . produced by good cows, tho dairymen should seek far cows of a vigorous appetite and strong digertkm—the more food tho more milk. Some cows have such feeble appetite And digestion that they consume only about food enough to maintain their normal condi tion, and do not yield milk enough to pay keep ; while in other cases the dairyman, not ^>prcciatiqg tho philosophy of tho production of milk, instead of generous feeding, th* may get a liberal return feeds his cows so scantily that his profits are even less than his feeding. Such dairymen only feed well, if at MI—when the cow is at pasture during the growing oeasou ; and when that becomes short his cows only pick enough to live. This be comes a most destructive waste of hi* pro fits. Every dairyman should provide a liberal supply of exU* food for such a contingency. This dry time often occur* in Julj^and thus chocks the yield of milk whiclt can^gvcr be fully regained. In many case*, this loss amounts to one-third the annual yield of milk —which is really all the profit. A little extra green food of oats, rye, millet, Hungarian grass, Clover or corn, will keep up the supply of milk, and tide them over this short supply of pasture ; and when the rains bring the fresh fall grass, it will bo ready to supply the best food to continue a good -flow of milk till late in the season, making a profitable return. The dairyman should never permit lus herd to subsist wholly upon a scatty pasture, even for a week. It is much better to feed a little gram to make up the deficiency, if he Lave ■otauch green food as mentioned. But, if be desires to make a wise provision for such a contingency, he mdy do so by sowing one- eighth to onedirtnth of an acre of oats for each cow kept; ab>ut sixty days before tho time short pasture is likely to occur. Having a herd of cows, several small pieces of grjnnd may be eown, co a* to be in the right stage for feeding at different times. Oat* are beet for feeding in a green state when in the milk. Usually one acre to eight cows will bo sufficient; but it is well to sow dnu- bio that quantity, to meet any possible defici ency, and axy surplus may be left to ripen and be harvested as grain. Any of the other kinds of grain mentioned may be sown if the land is suitable J>ut it is usually better to sow sovral kinds—for instance, part oata, part millet or Hungarian grass, anil part sowed corn. Variety is better than a single food, both for health and produce of milk. It will be seen-that al! these kinds of grain or grass may be sowed for other purposes, if not needed for feeding green, therefore, there can be no Toss in making this preparation. Hllllag TbhUlM W. A. Armstrong, of tho Elmira Farmer’s Clab. is of the opinion that Canada thistles may be killed by catting, for many cases of complete success have been reported, but there is the one insuperable difficulty, to as certain when the work shall bo performed. Tho "signs” have no weight whatever with the club. If the writer will again test hi* theory he will find failure more than likely— or to make ths test thorough, let him cut sev eral pieces when the "sign” is right, and he may find some killed and some unharmed, or possibly none of them suffering any loss of vitality, for actual trial has developed such facts in this valley, showing that any depen dence on "signs" in such cases at least u only a delusion. I have cut thistles when it effected their- complete destruction, but I confess I have never consulted tho signs. Sepcrate patches cut on the same day have shown to no effect on some and on others tho thistles have been entirely killed. Success must depend on the stage of growth and tho conditions of tho weather At certain periods nf growth Cana da thistles are susceptible of greater injuty by cutting them at other periods. That is enough to explain tho killing without refer ence to the influence of the "signs.”—Elmira Farmer’s Club. Coats for Bilk. Tbo Toronto Globe says there seems to be setting in a fashion to keep gouts for their milk in that section, and comments upon it after this humorous style.' In relation to keeping goats it says : Why notT These sweet scented animals have a decided advantageover the cowlkind. They are tetter foragers and cost little or nothing to keep.

You hatfrbroken tn/ lioait.’At the expiration <»f the fifth day of enn- ralescadde, Olga was wrapprd in warm shawls and placed on the couch which Lad been drawn near the grate where a brightfire burned. Thin and waUi she lay buckpu the cushions and pillows, with her wast-ed-'^bande drooping listlessly beside her. Moody, and taciturn^, she refused nil aid from any but Regina, and mercilessly ex acted her oontiuuol presence. By day thelatter waited up in and road to her, bynight alio rested on the same bed, whore the unhappy woman remaigM. for hoursawake, aud inconsolable, dwelling persis tently upon her luckless fate. At Mrs. Palma’s suggestion her step-son had n^tvisited th* sick room since the recovery of Olgs’s eousiiousness ; and being closely confined to the limits of the apartment,Regina bad not seen her guardian for sev eral days. About three o'clock iu tho after noon, when she had finished brushing thoshort tawglod hair, that clung iu auburn rings around tho invalid's forehead, Olga said:‘ Read mo ibo 1 Penelope.* ’ Regina sat down on a low stool close to the couch, and while she opened Ibo bookand read, Olga's right arm stole over her shoulder. At the opposite side of thehen th.her mother sat, wstching the pair, and she saw the door open suflloiently t<> admit Mr, Palma’s bead. Quickly shewaved him back—with a warning gesture ; but fa shook bis head resolutely, advanc' d a few steps, and stood in a position whichprevented tho girl from discovering his presence. As Regina paused to turn a leaf. Olga began a broken recitation, grouping passage* that suited her fancy : " Yea. Intr, T »m alon* In *11 th* world, «f all that bad occurred might proveto per how unworthy that man is. She , stubbornly persists that my step-son is weary of supporting us, and desires tofaros thia marriage with Mr. Congreve; where** ha has from the beginning amuradme be deemed it inexpedient, and dreaded th* mult.’ ‘ Mrs. Palma, she insists that she willnever marry anyone now, and intends to join oue ot the Episcopal Church sisterhoods in a waetern city.’• She certainly will not marry Mr. Con greve, for Erie called upon him, and re- qiiest. d him to release Olga from the an-gagemmuent, alleging among other rea- • sons, that her health was very muchbroken, and that aba would spend somalime in Europe. This sisterhood scheme, he declares, ba will not permit bar to accomplish.’ B-. tween the two foil a urofound silence, and Repina could think of nothing bnt herguardian's flushed, oonfuiod countenance, when Olga taxed him With bis love for Mrs. Cnrew.

Palma. Advancing, eha saw with amazement,that ho was kneeling close to the couch, with Olga's band in bis, and his bowedhead cIofo to her face.

Her gnairdian noticed the trctaulousnes* of hsr lip, andat that moment, the sun smiting tbe ring on her finger, kindled the tiny diamondsinto a circle of fire. Mn Palm* drew off bis gloves, put them in hi* pocket, and just touched the opal, sttylpg coldly:' Is that a recent gift from yonr mother?I never saw yon wear it until the night yon bathed poor Olga’s foishead.'‘ No, sir.’ Involuntarily she laid her palm over the jewels that were beginning to grow odiousin her own sighh ’ May I enquire how long it has been in your possession.'•Since before I left the parsonage.

At least lei me suggestthat you clothe tho refusal iu tho kindestpossible terms.’ Her face whitened, and she compressedher lips, but her beautiful eyes oacarae touchingly mournful in their strained gaze. Mr. Palma took off his glasses, and for thefirst time in her life she saw the full, fine bright black eyes, without tbe medium of lenses. How they looked down into hers IShe caught her breath, and he smiled. ‘ My ward must be frank with her guar dian.'‘ I have been frank with my mother, and since nothing has been concealed from her, no »ne else has tho right to catechise me.To her it is incumbent upon me to confide even the sacred details to which yon allude, and she knows all | bnt you canhave no real interest in tho matter.' • Pardon me, I have a very deep interest in all that concerns my ward ; especiallywhen tho disposal of her hand is involve 1.

For a moment ebo looked away at the blue heavens bending above her, nml wondered if the sky would blacken, when she had irretrievably committed herself to thisunion. Tho thought was hourly growing more horrible, and ebe shivered.

It was the keenest blow, tho most bitter disappointment of Erie Palma's hitherto successful life, bnt his face hardened, and he bore it, as was bia habit, without anydrmnnatrslien, save that discoverable fa bis mortal paleness. During tba brief silence that ensued, hesiill held bis hand firmly on hers, and when ho spoke, bis tone was cold andstern. • My opinion of your probable course in this matter was founded entirely npon belief in tbe truthfulness of yon? statement, that Mr. Lindsay had no claim on your heart.
