Ths Gbun crops in Manitoba promise to reach even a higher average than that of last year, which was satisfactory ; but in some loeditjes tho potato crop is slight, owing to recent heavy rains. The Town Pl ot of Fort William will bo re-populated by the influx of half-a- dozen of ourlngersoll folks, who leave here this week. Wc hopo they will enjoy them selves, and we have no doubt the hungry mosquitoes of that silubiious clime will Welcome this influx of new blood. It has been suggested to us, kiuJly, wo believe, that a deputation should wait upon Mr. Adam Oliver, and recommend him to turn his attention exclusively to the sale of hotels at Thunder Bay. There is more money in it at his prices and profits than i > opposing Credit Valley Railway Bonus By-L iws. An awfui, calamity was that which oc curred at Simcoe on Saturday night, in tho burning of the poor-house on the grounds of the Industrial fa-m of the County of Norfolk. The building itself was of little account, but in tbe flames which consumed it peririied no less than seventeen persons, whik four others wero so badly injured that there is Hftlo prospect of their recovery. Tho particulars thus far received nro very’ meagre, but wo should say from what has been telegraphed that tho poor-house was n woorien structure such As would burn up in a few minutes, and that there were no appliances upon the grounds with which to chock tin. flames or afford the unfortunate inmates a chance of escape from an awful death. The Pobt e calls the attention of the civilized world to the outrages and barbar isms committed by the Russians upon the inhabitants of the cities and villages they invade. Tlw recital, i\s conveyed in the war news, is a hideous one, certainly off setting the bintalities alleged to have been peq>etra*.ed by the Turks at Knrarna. We n-e prepared to take the reports of both sides with salt, though wo aro perfectly willing to Believe that Osmanoli and Mus covite have indulged to th* full their com mon propensity for slaughter. Both peo ples hnvo lem accustomed to accompany their campaigns with fire nn.l sword, and to them may bo Only applied the saying of the French cynic, “ It i« im possible to have an omelette without breaking eggs." With hoih war means wide-spread rapine, incendiarism, and in fernal Inst, and so long as the war lasts wo will continue to hear of appalling ex cesses on both sides. It is good to learn that England end ©Crept have signed a convention fur the suppression of the slave trade. England's labors on the coast of Africa for the destruc tion of tbe most nefari> n< traffic on rnrth hare been crowned with some success, but she long lacked the sympathetic support which Egypt could give her. Of late years the Khedive has awakened to a sense of his responsibilities in this direction, and ac corded a measure of assistance which has been found of value. Th? expedition un dertaken by Sir Stmnsl Baker under bis directions accomplished some good, but it has been long evident that nothing but j i it English and Egyptian action could be depended upon to secure inland and sea ward checks upon the trade. If this can be effected well and good. Meanwhile it would bo well to know bow far the Khedive means to repress the practical slavery which exists in his own domain, aud de stroy a trade which has domestic brandies even in Cairo. Reform aud charity alike begin at home. ZVXBY DESCRIPTION' l a t e s t s t y l e s brid/'-s, o ilverts, fences, etc. As soon us this material is pr ocured und put into shape the work of grading will be rapidly proceeded with. Tho company have no timo to loss in order to fill tho stipula tions of tho articles of-agreement, and we have no doubt the work will bo prosc- c.ited with tho utmost nrts.rgx?\ As in the p-ist, so in the future, all the work with this lino will bo carried on with t'io greatest economy compatible with efficiency and durability, The degree of energy and alacrity with which the initiative steps for commencing work h ive been token is convincing proof that thccomjuny are in e-irnestand will push forward the construction of tho road to tfomphtion with the greatest possible spied. This will no doubt have a good effijet upon bustnoai in Ingersoll nnd its vicinity/ for, aside from the confidence which will bo restored in anticipation of the completion of tho road throughout its entire length, at no distant day, a large amount of money will require to be spent in this immediate neighborhood while this work is going on, of which our merchants and business men will neces sarily reap a great advantage. This, to gether with the abundant harvest, which our farming community are now busily engaged in gathering, w ill. make a com* bination of circumstances which promise hopeful times for the future of Ingersoll. Let there bo no grumbling but let every one go forward hopefully in whatever occupation ho may be engaged in.‘ A strong push and n push all together^ with the fortuitous times to which we may reasonably look forward to, will lift lhe cl Jtul of.depression which has hovered over us in tho past an I wo miy hope fully look for more propitious times in tho future. posetlTo it, actually voted for it. Perhaps Mr. Oliver was one of these. If so, wo can now bike him cordially by the band, for although bo could not for get the old grudges, and bury the hatchet, to work side by aide with a Conner opponent for a good cause, yet he could take advantage of the ballot and sustain the right in the hour of, vital importance.

The Vot ing on tho Credit Valley Railway Bonus By-Law took place on Monday, and was characterized through- on* with deep earnestness and marked decorum. The result, which must bo highly satisfactory to the promoters of tho measure, was as follows :— t or acaixst ex Majority for By-Law ,.H2Total No. votes on roll.................491Total votes polled...........................392 y<>tes onpollol ............................. 12 This most decided and‘emphatic prcssion of the freehold ratepayers of the town is a gnod guarantee that they hive ftilh in tbe undertaking, nnd now it only remains for tho Company to fulfil their part of tho agreement. JVa aro promiro 1 that gangs of men will be put to work this week. Tills looks like business, end we shall all bo in immedi ate receipt of the advantages to be gained by the construction of tho raid. The Chicago Tribune shows that 80,000,000 of innocent people were direvtly •nd indiroctly injure^ by the strike; the entire East suffering by the advance in the price of some of tbe necessaries of life as well •• in other ways, and the West also suffering by tbe interruption of traffic. Il figures the loss to Chicago at folly a million and a quarter. Tbe *Uue of tbe livestock, grain and other produce kept ont cf Chi cago by tbe strike approximate* *2,900,000. The lou of trade to ths dealers in dry good*, groceries, boots and shoes, clothing, dregs, and other wholesale guoda, is net far from 13,000,000 more; and tbe varied manufacturing IndustriM would bare turn ed out *1,780,000 worth of prolucts during the time th«*y w«re kept in forced idleness by tbe mob.

Cbkdit Vall by Railway engineera Lave already arrived end are making the ■rtwary arrangements for «Jmmen«ng active operations. They have opened an office in and u will be mob by advertiaeiDcnt tn another coittutn mv prepared to receive tenders for varioqa Some Men arc very deep and some arc very shallow, in point of intellect. Now, any one who token Mr. Adam Oliver for one of ;he latter class either insults Iris understanding or else he holds an opinion of his own not borne ont by the genurality of those who know some what of the calibre of the individual spoken of. We have been lo,! to ques tion the actions of the above-natqed gen tleman in connection with the Credit Valley Railway Bonus, and must arrive at one of twe conclusions—either that he is not the man of depth which wo supposed him to be years ago, or else he has become so unfathomable that his best and nearest friends do not know’ him. On Monday morning, ns tho vot ing on theCiodit Valley Railway Bouus By-Law was about to begin, a fly-sheet, signed by Mr. Adam Oliver, was issued, which, for perversion of the truth and acerimoniou* mis-statements we have never seen its equal. It carried its own condemnation with it, aud its only ap- pro-'ich to an equal was the silly speech delivered by the same gentleman in tbe Town Hall on Wednesday evening. The fly-sheet was, however, quickly met by another from Mr. Noxon, and the only effect it could possibly have had was to secure votes for the By-Law. In fact, the action token by Mr. Oliver throughout was of such a very peculiar nature, that although he appeared out wardly to be opposed to the By-Law (because he would not take sides on any matter with Mr. Noxon), yet in reality he was in favor of it. Ortain it is, that whatever action he did take, did more good in securing votes for the By- Law than harm in securing them against it In evidence of this wo point to his speech at tbe public meeting; to the ■currilou* sheet issued by him on tbe looming of the election, and his eon* •piciouB absence in Toronto dating Ute greater part of tbe cMspaign since hi* retunk from Fort William, interview ing tbe " crowd ot Swiss people " in Toronto. Hence we really believe that he was heartily in favor of tbe measure, and we are borne oat ia this confiction by the fort that (hose in favor «f the By-Law, who made * thorough canvs* (DT AUSTER.) Our excellent nr. J most prr.cficnl Prem ier in hi.t hiippier days, before tho naughty and ungrateful Opposition became “ fero cious ” and actually had the hardihood to attack him, used to delight his hearers upon tho Ministerial bonches by his appa rent grasp of geographical nomenclature in respect to tho Pacific railway route. The readers of his speeches become fami liar with Shebanduwan, Windegostigan, Keewatin, Knmiuistiquia, and Mcquaqnon, and Tcte Jauno Cache, Chilcotin, Yellow Head Pass, and tho two Saskatchewan^ were like household words. Tho last ses sion, however, disappointed those who hung upon his utterances, vague though they were, with a certain kind of pleasure, such aB one fuels, but cannot describe in reading— '• From Amor to Ne’io »n<! th* wildOt •outbra.<»t Ab»rim, In Ho’cton And lloronaJni, toon's itnltn beyond 'Hio flowery ddc* ol SIbmv. clad with vine*. And Elra’e to tho Asphaltic pool." Any ono attempting to follow precisely tb6 routes glibly indicated in those speeches would have found himself in a maze as difficult as that in which Lord Milton nnd Doctor Cheadlo were entrapped, bnt it was part of a very small crammed lesson, nnd if it was a little mix*d it answered tho purpose. Il was, ttiereforo, hardly fair to throw everything upon tho Engineers, ex- fept a very bold nnd limp itatcraent which was deferred until the latest moment, and wns in singular contrast to tho jaunty, self assured stylo of tho speeches of pre vious years. It announced, however, that the lino of railway was under eoutract from Fort William (an ambitious and rather costly paper city ou the Kaminisliquia, consist ing of several vacant streets and a elab sided hotel) to Port Savauoe ou Lac des Mi’le Lacs, where it is to connect with the route by way of Rainy L ike aud tho Foit Francis kek to tho Kcewatiu, nt the northern end of the Lake of tho Woods. From Keewatin to Rud R.ver tho line is also under contract, and those who are interested in tho work were surprised to learn that it was intended to proceed im mediately with the comffluctiou of tbe ro.iu from Port Savauuo westward to Eng lish river, a distance of thirty-five miles. From thence to Keewatin it ia stated that the lino will not be built for several years to Cf mo. Mr. Mackenzie assures us that tbe coun try between Port Savamie aud Kewatin is full of lakes, ravines and rocks, and unfit for settlement. Why, therefore, ho has undertaken to build tho road from Port 1 Savanna to English river, except for tho purpose of spending money needlessly; it is impossible to tell, and ho is careful not to explain.My Iriood has had bis attention drawn to lais inexplicable proceeding by the speech of Mr. Mackenzie at the meetingat Forest, in which ho says:—‘'Wo have jcontracts to English river—11G miles— from Fort William westward," and apro pos of this and some other noticeable matters he permits the publication of i THE LAND STRETCHES. To EngJUh river from fort Sivjkune our irmttri are 1 nviu iiiiuve* npvnvu irvite wci, cepuciuiiy I the prints. However, wo found many who were thankfol to get them. Mr. Marshall put a aotice in tho paper, the day before they arrived, saying tho Ladies of Ingersoll had sont five cases, to bo distributed amongst the sufferers, and before wo brought tho goods into tho house applicants began to arrive, and they con tinued to corao untU everything was given i out. Wo gavo to over ono hundred people, and could you have scon tho tears of jcy and gratitude that at o imed down their checks, you would have felt repaid for nil your willing hands and loving hearts had done. They said, “ Send those Indies our lovo and a thousand thanks/’ And such a class of people to whom they were given ; people who bod been accustomed to moro than tho comforts of life, beautiful homes and every thing that the heart could wish, stripped that dreadful night of everything. I thought to have sent you a list of the names of tLo parties who received goods, but find it quite impossible, for there were so many. Mrs. Broderick wrote mo that all denominations had contributed, and wc gave to all; with tho exception of a few families, wo know them all. I might say that among tho number there were a clergyman's family, custom house officers’ families, jewellers' families, and respectable tradesmen'# families. Tho clothing for tho children camo in ad mirably—so many families with small children nro burned ont—there was ono family of ton, and they did bet eave an article but what they.had on. You will winder how it was that peonlo saved so little ? Well, wo had had a long drought aud everything was ns dry as it could be, and ' wc had a great many wooden buildings in our city, and a perfect gale of wind, nrd the tide out. Although we had steam engines enough, ono would think, to put out auy fire, yet tho wind carried^firo brands threo-qnarters of a mik» and tho moment they lighted on a roof it blazij up. It came so suddenly on tho people that msny of tho roofs were on fire over their heads before they knew it, and so they could only cscapo with their lives. It seems so sad to seo our fair city in mins, but many of our people arc hopeful and many cheerful, and I am sure that ono great cause is the sympathy that has boon manifested throughout the world. Yon will pardon me for not writing beferc to thank you for all your kindness, but real ly this is tho first time I boro felt I had time to do it. Our house has been foil, and then there were so many I was inter ested^;!, and trying to do all I could for them, that my time has been taken up. Thanking you, ladies, a thousand limes, in the name of tho sufferers whose hearts you have gladdened by your kindness and gen erosity, aud praying that* oar Heavenly Father may reward you a thousand fold, I rcmaiu^yonnt, 1 M. 1/ Robebtson.

Suleiman Pasha hns recaptured Kasan-lick at tho southern mouth of too Shipka Bass, with all its guns and materials, driv ing Gen. Gourkho poll mell across the mountains. When tho Turks recapturedE«ki Snghra they learned that while the Russians occupied it tho Turkish male inhabitants were caltod before a tribunal of jBulgarians tinder tho pretence of register-ug. and then ruthlessly massacred. Herald's cables says Russians are/train ing every nerve to retrieve tbe late disaster and inflict a crashing blow on tho Turksabout Plevna or Lavocn. Tho whole country about Eski Saghra is being devas tated, tho villages and country residencesburned by flying bands ot Bulgarian villa gers, South of the Balkans a civil warbetween the Turks and Bulgarians is imminent. Tbe whole country between Ksw- nnlik and Adrianople will soon be destroy ed. Since tho Plevna disaster the Bulgarians, tearing massacre, have taken the field to die like mon.

Owing to the rapidity with whichthe flames spread, tho timo wns very short,not exceeding from tho first twenty-fivo rninntes before the greater part of the building was in flames. Meanwhile, ‘ho grounds surrounding tho building were iu a state of great confusion. Men nnd women were running like mnd people, so'-io half dressed and somo with NOTHING ON BUT A NIGIITSntnT erring nnd uttering tho most pitiful shrieks.

There were SEVEN MEN, EIGHT WOMEN AND TWO DOTS burnt to death, and four men who escaped were badly burned, and one man had hislog broken in jumping from the window.

Boni two and three years old lay about 25 per cent, leu eggs than those bat one year old. Consequently the best plan for all fowl "breeders is to raise chickens every season to be the layers of the next year, and to kill all the old stock regular ly between Docmber and February of each year. It is doubtful whether it be profitable to keep fowls without a run for them over gin land. A small yard with grass in it, soon becomes soiled and the grass all picked off, and then the hens begin to lay fewer eggs and the result generally is that there is no profit'in fowls thus o infiuei. It seems to bs the nature of barnyard fowls to require a run of some twenty or forty rods from their roost* ing-houss, to keep them active and healthy by searching for insects. A dozen hens and one cock in a quarter-acre yard would do well ; but if confined in a yard twenty or thirty feet sqnaro, they would not be profitable, unless their food should almost entirejy consist of the waste from the family table. From a bush 1 and a quarter to a bushel and a half of grain is consumed in a year by every fowl, at a cost of about 81, when no waste from the tablo is given to them, and good breeds, such as the Brahmas, Plymouth Bocks, Leghorus and Ham burgs, will lay annually about 150 egg each, if not closely confined, worth, in most places, from $2 to S3, A family hsving fifteen or twenty fowls, may have poultry to kill in the winter worth <30 at least, by raising chickens and killing the-surplus roosters and the old stock, as above stated ; and thus poultry-keeping is certainly profitable. The Light Brahmrv, and Plymouth Rocks are much better table fowls than the Leghorus and Hamburg?, the latter beingsmall and chiefly valuable for laying.

Dairy'Room At this season of the year special attention should be paid to extreme cleanliness about the dairy room and all its appurtenances, for during this heated term noxious odors and • qther contaminations arc generated most readi- fly, and do the most mischief. In this con junction Willis P.Hazzard, in Bnttcrand But ter-making.is not a jot too exacting in insist ing that everything must bo removed that im parts impure odors or taint the atmosphere of the tlairyrocxi, and thus injure the butter. The shoes of the dairyman should be removed when coming from the barnyard, and exchang ed outside the spring house door for another pail kept there for the purpose. Otherwise it would bo impossible to prevent carrying in sufficient filth to taint the atmosphere and communicate it to the milk. Another source, of injury to the taste of butter is the imper ceptiblc odor from kerosene lamps, which have often to be used in the dairy house. This can bo obviated by having the lamps set in sock ets, aud a pipe, leading outside, placed over the top of the chimney, which will carry off the odors. Or a box containing the lamp and reflectors can bo so constructed, cither built in the wall with glass front on the inside of tho hones and opexed only froru’tho outside, or arranged in tho window. It should project on the outside so as to be readily reached from the outside, and should have a pipe for the ex it of the smoke. It is must important to have pare air, *nd that the milk room bo clean, cool dry airy and well ventilated. The tempera ture should range about 65 to C5 degrees, never higher than tho latter and not lower than 54 degrees, as ertam separates best in a cool place. Milk set and kept at a tempera ture of 40 degrees, will not sour, and the ertam will besotuo bitter before it is fit to skim. If the milk is set to rise in a hot room ata temperature of 70 to 72 degrees, it will very soon bee ome sour and thick, will not yield so much cream, and will make soft, oily butter, which will soon become rancid. The dairy should front the north, and be shaded by trees, so as to admit the light and air, as light is necessary to develop color in cream, but exclude the sunshine and the heat Ever, greens are tho best of this purpose, as they cool the atmosphere in summer and warm it in winter. In many of the Western States where the ground is not so rolling and hilly as in some regions more favored by springs, a spring- hause can easily be made near a well, which will be very convenient and nearer the house than the spring might happen to be. The ground may be excavated about four feet,’by some 12 feet square, and a solid stone wall, two feet thick and four fest high laid in cement The floor inside lai*l in cement at tho bottom of the excavation, slightly inclining to one corner, for complete drainage end-washing. The wall i* built up full width, four feet, and then an offset of 13 inches is made to the rear, or outside, where the wall is carried up two feet higher, but only six inches thick, to form tho foundation of the frame superstructure ; on this ;• built a balloon frame with eight feet posts, boarded outride and in, and tho wall made as tight as possible. Upon the Lxlge created by tho offset, a narrow wall, about four inches high and wide, is made on tho front edge of this ledge, by which, being well plastered with tho oement, a gutter or vat is made some four inches deep, and of course 32 inches wide, with a slight descent to the cor ner opposite to that sRhere the water is intro duced. Into thia vat tho fresh milk is sot while warm, and cold water conducted to it from the well. The milk cools rapidly and a - lew temperature is main tai Bed thtough the night At each milking the pans are removed to the shelves or on tho cement floor in the centre, to make room for the fresh milk. Tbe water can be pumped into a trough which will carry the water to the dairy house any distance it may be placed from the hettse ; but tho nearer the better, so that the water shall not warm in its pamage. If it is intro duced in the centre of one side, the gutter should slope both ways to tho corners and fol lowing tho rides, bo allowed to escape at either far corner through a pipe built in the cement. Throe escapes should bo furuiahed with plugs to hold the water, so as to allow it to bs changed msee ar twice daily. Fr« af <**. ©a. Kwo’s Krw Dmcovnr for Con»amp 1km. Cougha. Colds. Asthma.

On thatluckless day I first met Cuthbert Laurano*.Ilion only nineteen, white I,was not yet flftoou. Think of It, my dlrling; threeyear* younger than you are now, and youa mere child still.

The storm that followed Deloit's revelation wa* fierce, nndavailing herself of his jialous surveillance, grm.lm >t!ior allowed mo no more stolen interviews. Aft?r a fortnight, Cuthbertc rue one day and demanded to sao mo, all.-ging that wo wore betrothed, and that ho would rive satisfactory explanations ofbis coiiiluor. Grandmother was obdurate, but unfortunately I vent ired in. and seiz ing tm in his arms he sworn that all theworld shotil 1 not separate us. To hor h* explained that his father desired him to inirry an heiress who lived not far fromthe paternal mansion, and possessed im- monsu estates, upon which the covetous eyes of the Laurences had long been fixed ;but until he completed his collegiate course nutters must be delayed. Ha protestedthat he could love no one but me,' and sol- ornnly vowed that ns soon as frc«d by his majority from parental control, ho wouldmake mo his wife. I was sufficiently in sane to believe it all, but grandmother was wiser, and sternly interdicted his visits.‘ A month wont by, during which Pelogpersecuted me with professions of love nnd offers of marriage. How I detested him,and, by contrast, how codlike appeared iny refined, polished, proud young lover. ? At length Cuthbert wrote to m1, entrustingthe |i*ttcr to a college chum, Gilbert Andre; but Peleg's nrgus scfiitiny could not be boffi d, and again I was detoctid.* MenHtime grandmother's strength was fast filling, and U iclo Orme was far away ia Western wilds; who would save mefrom my oWn rash folly if she should die and leave mo unprotected ? This apprehension prayed censelesdj’ upon her mind,she grew moros*, m >O(L»^ tyrannical ; and when finally Cnthb-rU'came onco worn,forcing an entrance into tho little cottage, a id asking upon what conditions ho might bo permitted t*> visit ini, She bluntly told ihim that she intended to take mo at all Ihazards to a convent, and shut ni* up for- 1 ever, unless within forty-eight hours hemarried me. The tho ight of separation i tua ’e him almist frantic, nn I after some i discussion, it was airanged that wo shouldba married very secretly in ft distant town, < with only grandmother and Lis room-mate < Andre as wiinosres. Our union would bo <concealed rigidly until Cuthbert had left i college and attained his majority, which i was then nearly two years distant ; at 1whi'.’b time ho would enter upon a certain r amount of properly loft by his mother. 'An ’ approaching receis of severe) days, which fwould enable him to absent himself with- i out exciting susp ici >n, was selected ns an i auspicious occarion for the consummation <we all ho ardently desired, and very quietly t thu preliminary steps were taken. t1 By what slratagem or fraud ft 1license was obtain.*!, I never learnod, i and was too Ignorant anl unsuspicious toquestion or understand tho forms essential to legality.

Tho opinion of the Minister of Education was * that it was immaterial whether hie child uses tho books furnished by the trustees or net—that the fee imposed was within the statutable right of th« trustees, and that tha mode of collection prescribed by the general regulation* of exoludiug the pupil from the school white th* non-payment eontinnes, can be ligilimatoly exercised, notwitbilandiug the general declaration of tho law that all public schools are free.’” Man Fl ogged.—John ftevier, rfBrowna- vilte, convicted at the Criminal Court of an iudeesni assault and sentenced to one munth's impriaonment and twenty Lathee, received the latter part of his Mntonca at Woodstock on Tuesday morniog of last* week.
