New York has undertnl-.cn a novel Lind of transports.ion. It proposes to fuini-h South Africa with teachers. Ou Satu d y a party oi twelve adults and five children left New York, bj the steamship City of Berlin, to go to Siuth Africa as teachers. EA-er sinco tho fotimiing ot tho Hugenot Seminary at Wellington, Cape Colony, oi which Miss Fergusson, of New Haven, is principal, the demon I has been rapidly inert axing. There are already twelve teachers employed in different parts of the colony, and three ladies uie now so far on their way that they will reach their destin­ ation during the present m mth. All bnt one of the twolvo adults who left on Satur­ day are women ; of these, eight;, come from Massachusetts, rnd one each from Connec­ ticut, Vermont and New York. The above cut aud the following article appeared in the columns of the London free Press a few weeks ago, and as it is perhaps a subject of greater interest to Ingersoll and the County of Oxford than any other portion of the Dominion, unless it be the Thunder Bay Region, we have thought well to re-pro­ duce it for the especial benefit of our readers, who have many times and oft wished to know how it was that wo are at tho present time (mis)-reprcsented by our present member in the Ontario Legislature. Tho following, while dis­ closing other facts may be the sequel to this, and to many has never been re­ vealed :— “The above wood cut is an accurate re­ presentation, secured by means of a photograph, of tho new celebrated Neeb­ ing Hotel, for which Mi. Mackenzie’s Government paid $5,900. Look at it for a moment! It is built of slabs and culls brought from Oliver’s mill, an instr tution which exists on the other side of tho Kaministiquia Rivera short distance off. The rickety concern stands upon a few posts which wind in every possible direction, yielding such an insecure sup­ port that those who once tenanted a portion of it “dug out," for fear the whole thing would come tumbling down upon their heads, with the exception of tenants occupying a couple of rooms, as indicated to tho extreme right of the picture. No chimney stack is provided in this “hotel," though in so high a lati­ tude the luxury of fires can scarcely be dispensed with at any season of the year. A couple of stove pipes, which are stuck through the roof, is all the provision made for a heating apparatus. The land on which this magnificent pile stands, was a part of the plot sold to the Government for $51,000, a transition now known as tho Kunrinistiqni Land Job. The ostensible vendors of the hotel were tho Neebing Hotel Co., but who may bo better known to our readers as “Oliver, Davidson J: Co." It will be borne in mind that My. Oliver, who represented a neighboring constituency (South Oxford), obligingly gave up his claim to his seat in favor of Mr. Crooks, after the electors of Toronto had turned their backs u|*on him. Such patriotism and negation of self could scarcely go un­ rewarded. But it is not always easy to satisfy such public spirit when the eyes ot a vigilant Opposition such as that which is watching over the interests of the country is abroad. It is a fertile brain, however, that contrived the scheme to turn the slubs and culls from Messrs. Oliver A Davidson's saw mill into an Lotd, and then sell it to the Government. People have been heard to speak of s Hing out to an insmance company by burning down a building, but that plan, whatever its merits may be, is not stumped with half the ingenuity displayed by Mr. Oliver, ex-31.P.P. for South Oxford, who by a knowing device built an hotel, on the exact spot which the Government wanted to buy, and when half finished managed to turn the awkwurk slabs, shaky lumber and crook­ ed posts into Dominion notes to the tunc of five thousand nine hundred dollars. It is seldom that such useless material has been so readily turned into active cash. The manner in which Mr. Mowat Lus rewarded Mr. G. W. Ross, of West Middlesex, by giving him an appoint­ ment under the Crown in Ontario, has its merits as an illustration how flexible the Grit conscience is. Yet it lacks that elegant originality which marks the Neebing Hotel operation. The idea may not have sprang forth from the same fertile brain that contrived the Steel- Rail Job. But it was worthy of it. S o, cunning a device for transferring the money of the people to the pockets of a favorite has been seldom seen, and it will commend itself accordingly. But the Neebing Hotel, as it now stands, look­ ing like some ungainly rookery or a monster pig-stye, is not the only object of interest in the vicinity of the Katnin- istiquiu. In proximity to it arc to be seen a portion of those “steel rails," piled up in bugb blocks, covering a great ex­ tent of ground, and which are rusting away in wasteful inutility. Years must elapse before locomotives will run over them, and meanwhile the interest ac­ count and tho rapid deterioration going on combine to render thia transaction of our “practical Premier" the most extra­ vagant and demoralizing the country has ever been called upon to witness. Tak­ ing all the circumstances into account, how Mr. Mackenzie has smiled upon the Neebing Hotel and thoroughly justified Mr. Oliver in resigning in favor of Mr. Crooks, and how Mr. Mow;tt is manag­ ing in turn to find places of profit and emolument for the supporters of Mr. Mackenzie, this thing called “reform” is being conducted on very convenient principles. It is true that the members who make a point of sticking by their principles cannot be placated with tele­ graph contracts. Neebing Hotel sales, or appointments such as that vouchsafed to Mr. G. W. Ross. But new ways will be found to meet new occasions and require­ ments, so long ns tho promoters of the Georgian Bay Railway scandal and the Neebing Hotel job remain in power, and all blessed with opportunity it may be safely left to them to find the means openly to make patriotism profitable us well as pleasant to their followcra.” Detect ives at Pittsburg are actively en­ gaged in recovering the goods stolen from the loaded cars and depot of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company. The property forms a singular collection, embracing boots and shoes,an immense wood-carving, cushions, mattrassee, spittoons, framed time-cards, an encyclopedia, forty barrels of flour—-each minus a baking or two—a tierce and twelve barrels of lard, 800 hams, kegs and barrels of whiskey and highwines, glassware, hardware, shovels and picks, bales of wool, a complete Jcmey waggon, leather, rope, bundles and barrels of leaf tobacco, block-tin, beeswax, oatmeal, boxes of foot rules, lamp chimneys, coffee-mills, gas-stoves, palace-car furniture, sewing machines, carpets, oil-cloths, muslin,ready­ made clothing, yarn, harnesses, whips, flags and -the like. Seven Saratoga trunks full of clothing wore found ia one house and. eleven barrels of flour in another.

No alarm was raised until the next day when be was found within a few feet ef tho shore. He leaves a wife aud five children. A lively trial took place in the Mayor's Court on Monday evening. John Oliver was charged with making an attempt to force an entrance into a house and with using abusive language. One of the witnesses gave Lawyer Clark to understand that he couldn’t pump her, she would bust up that court before she would testify to what she didn't want to. The court did uot see it in that light but gave her to understand that immemorial usage was against her. She then went for the Chief Constable in a lively tuanuer, and, as he had a fine set of whiskers, with considerable sue cess. Others cams ta his aid and tho Chief was rescued from ths clutches of this infuriated female who marched off in triumph in contempt of court and in defiance of its miuious.

The first half of the dairying season of 1877 h|* dbmo and gone,and, like other occurrences, ha* fixed it* place in the history of passing events. It has played its part fa the ogrieul fare of thd country, and made it* impress upon commerce as well as upon the special z faterest* of the devotees of bovine lacteal se- ■ cretions. Periods in our business, like periods fa our lives, are filled with items which give to them a distinct individuality. There ho*, however, been very little to distinguish the first half of the present dairying season from that of if* ifafaodiate predecessors, except in the tallness of it* product*. The season has been very favorable, especially through the Northern and Middle States- The ground, I particularly fa New York, was thoroughly ‘ soaked through by the molting snows and the heavy rains fa the spring—a circumstance which has not occurred in several years. Thus supplied with water, the ground has required but little additions in showers to keep the surface moist, and these have been frequent and refreshing. As a conseqence, the mead, ows have been heavily stocked with bay, and the pastures have been unusually fresh and green, as well as abundant, yielding for the dairyman heavy returns in butter and cheese. The goods; too, have been of excellent qual­ ity. Now and then wo find both butter and cheese having less flavor than they have had fa former years, and leu than belongs to them when derived from ths grass of drier Seasons. Grau, which is characterized by great sueculence, ha* its jnicc* more watery and thin, and they are less rich than in grass of .slower growth and less moist weather. Much rain at some times and fa some places ha* given to grass so much succulence as to weaken its flavor and depress the richness and flavor of the butter and cheese derived there­ from, But the great bulk of goods which have gone forward have, as compared with former years, a full, clean and pure flavor. Tile mauiv* hills, like great sponges, took in the water from the slowly melting snow and the subsequent rains, and have been hold­ ing them to feed spring* which the previous dry season had exhausted, so that cows have been better supplied with that all-important ele­ ment in succcuful dairying—good,pure,spring water—than they hire been for many sea­ son* put. This circumstance has also con­ tributed to a fine quality of milk. Theresas been less tainted and faulty milk, up fa thi* date, than for many years. The bare condition of the market* in the spring, ha* made a place for the immense crop, which, without accumulating anywhere to any great extent, has gope steadily for­ ward into consumption and* left the way fairly open for the product* of the remaining part of the season. This is as it should be; ft ia by far the best way to dispose of all per- fehshle good* a* fast as they are produced. It is rare that anything can be gained by over­ lapping the product* of orfe season into those . -sf.ssubsequent U Uie products of any sea­ son are so large a* to bear down the market fa it* own time, a still greater depression must follow when the product* of two seasons are crowded together. Besides, the shrinkage in weight, liability to depreciation in quality, continued labor and care, and loss of interest will always balance a pretty large advance, which may or may not come by postponing the rale of dairy g.-uds. Dairymen are more and more appreciating the bearing of these facta, and are quite gwaerally letting their good* go to market at current rates whenever they are ready for consumption. This not only avoid* any serious glutting fa the avenues of trad*, and and * mutual action sstablished, resulting in increased fertility obtained [oh*micolly) from the ernd* material, and improvement fa th* 1 m*dfaniaal condition. An effect upon th* crop eon be secured at once by liquid or well rotted manure, but without the same benefit i is to be hsd. An example of thi* is a river, 1 or any other naturly good soil, where time has been employed in making it. This view may seem conflicting with popular opinion, especially when w* consider the success of water culture, or the effect of concentrated manure*. Tet it is undeniable that there is a . secret of succeas in old rich soil* ripened by time, and a greater 'satisfaction result* from their cultivation than from the employment of commercial stimulant* ephemeral in their nature. Those old Soils never fail to respond; the stimulant* often do. It is this wcll-en- richeckand well-ripened soil that is wanted for general farming. Wo are gettiog it; through the dairy and the raising of clover. Fqi* special crops, dr to mast a certain end, special treatment is sometime* required; and much can be done with a poor or unbalaoced soil often by particular manure* adapted to tire case. The -phosphatic and nitrogeneou* fer­ tilizers are instances, and seldom disappoint if applied to poor land. Much can be done by skilled management fa this way. But the skill is needed, the science or experience. This is not required in the other case of a rich well-conditioned soil. It mostly needs labor here. The river •’bottoms" and other rich land* of the country are instances where tbe hardy pioneers, with only the simple elements of a rude agriculture, established themselves and secured a competence. Not so on the poor lands of ths country where it was struggle for bare life often, whole regions ris­ ing but little above this. Wo see a change wrought now fa many of these places. Where there was want and a struggle for life, there is now thrift and prosperity. These lands many of them ^uro rich and productive, while the fertile river soil, deemed inexhaustible, has deteriorated, so that tho best balance of the ledger is often found fa favor of tho once poor lands, Wc have all to come to this—a know­ ledge of how to improve our land, and to keep it from becoming impoverished. Poor farming will not pay—less now than ever. The safe way for the less informed is to have tho soil rich and in good condition. Remem­ ber manure is life fa the soil, without it tho Landis dead. Manure warms the land; loosens and mellows it; prevent* it from getting hard or cracking in a drouth ; retaining mois­ ture the better, and passing off more readily a surplus of water ; resist* to some extent tho frosts, so that winter crops are more safe, Ires effected fa the spring by freezing and thawing; and always is a safe fund in reserve. You can have no better property tlian rich land accessible to tbe market. To make it rich aod put it fa balance requires sometimes consider­ able art. But when once obtained, a rotation of crops, with depandance upon farm manure —what the stables make and what is furnished by the sod and by cloveriug and other grccu crops—will keep it in condition, make it easy working and reliably productive. To get land op to this point, anil keep it there, should be the aim of every farmer who is not already n the happy possession of it. And it will yet come to this, if from no other cate than that of necessity, thus showing, as fa tliickly pop­ ulated Europe, that in this way, from a highly cultivated soil, tho most is produced, tbe greatest profit ncccs-wily realized, r.o. —Utica Herald. quick return*, which ia alwaya an essential element fa th* successful prosecution of any Th* steady decline from th* high price of chaaaa fa the spring to present figure* should discourage nobody.

The barley crop is n fair one ; the grain is plump and of good color. Peas, oats and corn are generally good, although the drought has shortened tho crop in some localities.

The price of every kind of farm produce is now so good that every farmer should ■dl anything that be has fit for market and not required on the farm without delay. There are speculator* nnd companies in England that command million* of pounds, ready to invest if they can see a chanc* of turning a quarter of a cent in n pound.

CVIXPTP.R S.XXl-(Continued.} 1'ft college a week•fter Cuthbert was called V *° «n«xpdotedly away, and1<<X3r> disappeared ; and grand­mother died suddenly with rhatumUistn of tho heart, when only a few miles distant from the harbor of her destination. Palegaadadonely proposed that wo should ignore the empty wortliless marriage ceremony, accept the Laurence bribe and go away tothe far West, where we might begin life anew. He told me my huaaand believed me ttnworthy, that he had convinced him 1would ■ dishonor his noble hame, and that my reputation was at hie own mercy. Inmy amusement and horror I defied him,dared him to do bis worst; and reckleaalvhe accepted the rush- challenge. Leaving no due (as I imagined), I secretly quitted the village, where gossip was busy with my name, and went to New York. Mv snauiymeans rapidly melted away, and I hired myself as a seamstress in a wealthy family.Not even at this stage of affaire did I lose faith in my husband, and bravely I con­ fronted the knowledge that at no distantpenod I should be forced to provide for a nelploM infant. ‘ One day, in going down a steep flight ofsteps, with a heavy waiter in my hands, I missed my footing, fell,—and was picked up senseless on the tiled floor at the foot ofthe stairs. A physician living near was called in, and as I was only the seamstress,the information he gave my employer, in- daced-ber to send me immediately to the hospital—for pauper women. One of myankles was fractured, and the day after my admission to the hospital, you were born— , prematurely. In a ward of that hospital,snrronnded by strange hut kind sympathet­ ic faces, yon my darling opened your blue ev««. nnwelcomed by a father's love, un-taoliead ‘>v vonr wretched mother; for I was delirious for many da vs, and you were Ui c.i w m« old, when first 1 knew youwefy juiy baby. . Ah my daughter I why diiljoot a merciful God order ns both out of the world then, before it persecuted andbruised ns so cruelly? I have wished a thousand times that you had died before I aver recognized you as mine !*'Oh Mother! Mother, pity me. Do not reproach me with the life I owe toyom’}Regina’s features writhed, and pressingher faoa closer against her mother's knee,she sobbed unrestrainedly: ’ My darling — blessings often come so I thoroughly disguised that we brand themas curses, learning later that they garner all ear earthly hopes, sometimes our heav­ enly; and when I look at yon now, mvsoul yearns over you with a love too deep for utterance. I know that you were born to avenge your Wrongs and mine, to aidby your baby fingers in lifting the load of injustice and libel that has so long borne ' me down. You are the one solitary com­fort in all the wide earth, and but for you, I should have given up the struggle longago.’ Softly she. stroked the silky hair and tearful cheek, .and leaning back she con­tinued : . • Whtfa I was still an inmate of the hos- )ital, whe t I was knowu^ as MinnieMerle, Pela? Peterson found me, and pro. claimed himself your father. He was partly intoxicated at the time, and wasforcibly ej»cted; but the excitement of that dastardly horrible charge threw mo into u relapse, and I was dangerously ill.Lyirtfc beside me on my cot, I watcheiyont1 little face through the slow hours of convalescence, mid your liny handsseemed to strengthen me ’or the labor that beckoned me baek to life. For your dearsake I must brave the future. To one of the noble-hearted gentle Sisters of Charity who visited the hospital and ministeredlike an angel of mercy to you and me, I told enough of/my history to explain my presence there, and through her influencewhen I was strong ennngh to work, I was placed in a position where I was permitted to keep yon with me fur a year. As Iknew that my only safety lay in hiding for a time from my enemy, and destroying alltrace of my departure from the hospital, I -aronmed the name of Odille Orphia Orme, which bad belonged to a sister of my . iprandmotber.j ‘I was not sixteen when yon were born, | and having bad my head shaved duringmy illness, my hair grew ont the bright gold you see it now, instead of the darkbrown it had hitherto been. A strange freak of nature, but a providential aid to the disguise I wished to maintain. I*** wrote to Cuthbert, informing him of your birth, praying bis speedy return; but no> reptv earns—and again and again I re-peatad the p-nitinn. At length I was answered by the return of all my letters,without a line of comment. Then I began to suspect what was in store for me, but it threatened to drive me wil*; and I shutmy eyes—and refused to think, set my teeth, and hoped, hoped still. The two"X years bad almost expired, and when Cntb-baft wOTtoT age. would fly to his wife•nd child; solacing them for all they badendured. I could not afford to doubt; that way lay madness I • Whan you were fourteen months old Iput yon in an Orphan Asylum, where I could see you often, and took a situation as upper maid and seamstress in a fashion*able family on Fifth Avenue. My duties were light, mv employer* were considerateand kind, and lha young ladies, observing my 4filiro to improve myself, gave mo th- privileges at the library, which was wellselected and extensive. They were very cultivated, elogant people, and I listenedto their conversation, observed their de­ portment, and modelled my manners after anxious to astonish Cuthbert by my grace and intoUigexue, when hp presented mo tobis father, and I exulted in the thought that even ho might one day bo proud of bls win's wife. e ..Jjfcw l struggled and toiled, saw n v by «t*y. reading, studying by night. Finding > RtaMe, EeripUea and Shake*;-ewe in thelibrary, I perti«ed them earefallv. and ac­ cidentally I dlwovered my talent. The ladieo of the house on one oceari >u hadprivate theatrical*, and tho play Was one With which I etmnced to ho familiar. At the last rehearsal—on the night of theplay, one of the young <a*ltea wal suddenly o»ixad with such violent gj.tdineaa, that•ho waa unable to appear in the character the peVMnated. and in the dilemma I was I gave wmsy spare motnsnb to dramaticstudios, and was procrowting xapdly, whoa ell hope waa ernaliod,** (tolbbort'a birthday earns, days, weeks, moufha roOod by, and I wrote oae moro o^Tblm once again, that be would just once look we*k« ib«t crawled awnv; Iww fondly I - hair curling thick, and close over your round bead, your small milk-white teeth :sparkling through your open lips, as yourI large soft violet eyes laughed *up in my I face 1 eo glad you were to see me 1 Yon hadnever seemed so lovely before, and I r kuelt down and hugged you, mv darling. , I kissed your dainty h inds and feet, your, lips and eyes—so like Cuthbert’s, and I i know k I carreased you my heart swelledwith the fond pride that ouly mothers can i understand and feel, and I whispered— , Papa's baby I Papa’s own darling! Cuth­bert’s babyr * It way harder than usual to quit you, that day ; you clung to me, nestled close to mo, stole your little band into my bosom,and finally tell asleep. Wusn I laid y. u softly down in pur tow truckle-bed, the tears would come and ba ig on my lashes,and while I lingered, passing my handover your dear pretty feet, I determined that if Cuthbert did not come, or wri every soon, I would taka yon and go in search of him. What man could shut bis arms and heart, against such a lovely babe,who owed bim her being?' * It was late when I got home, and the lady with whom I lived, scut for ms ingreat haste. Guests had unexpectedly 1 come from a distance, dinner must be served, and Jbe butler had been culledaway inopp irtnnely to one of his children, who had been terribly scalded. Con IJ Ioblige her by consenting to serve the visitors at table ? Sue was a good mistress to me, and of course I did not hesitate.One of the guests was a nephew of the host, and recently returned from Europe, as I learned from the conversation. Wuenthe dessirt was being set upon the table, he said : ‘No—I rather liked him ; none are perfee t and ho has sowed his wild oatsand settled down. Marriote is a strong social anchor, and his bride is a very heavy-looking woman, though enormouslyrich I hear. It is said that his father msncc'ivred th«« match, for Cuthbert hkodbring fancy-free.’ * The name startled me, and the master of tho bouse asked: ‘Of whom are youspeaking?' * Cuthbert Lanraoce and his recent marriage with Abbie Ames—the banker's daughter. My mistress pulledmy dress and directed mo to bring a bottle of champagne from the side table. I stood like a stone and she repeated the command.As I lifted ths wine and slarteilback, the stranger added,: 'Here is an accaunt of the wedding; quite a brilliant affur, and aa Iwitnessed tbs nnptiale I can testify the description is not exaggerated. They weremarried in Paris, and General Lanraucepresented the bride with a beautiful set of diamonds.* The bottle fell with a crash,and in the confusion, I tottered towardsthe butter's pantry—aud sank down iuson-ible.* Oh tho awful, intolerable agony that ‘has been my portion ever since 1 Do you winder that Lanrauce is a synonyme fornil'that is cruel, wicked? It is strange that at times I loathe the sight of your tec*, which m >cks me with the assurancethat you are his—as wril as mine ? Ob most unfortunate child 1 cursed with thefatal beauty of him who wrecked yourmother’s life, and denies you even his infamous name I* She sprang up, broke from herdaughter's arm*, and resum-id her walk. * After that day, I was a different woman,hard, bitt ir, rrienttes', desperate. In the room of hope reigned hate, and I dedicated tho future to revenge. I had hoard Mr.Palma's name mentioned as the m >st promising lawyer at the Bar, and though he was a young man then, he inspired nil whoknew him with confidence end respect. Withholding only my husband's name, Igavo him my history, and sought legal advice. A suit would result in tho foul and fatal a«porsiou, which Peleg was wait­ing to pour like an inky stream upon my character,and we ascertained that he was inth* pay of the Liurancos, and would testify according to their wishes and purposes. There was no proof of my marriage, unlessMr. Hargrove had preserved the license, the record of which had been destroyed bythe burning of the court-honse. Wherewere the witnesses? Gran Im >ther was dead, and it was rumored Mr. Audre hod^perished in a fishing excursion off the Labrador coast. * Mr. Palma advised mo to wait, to patiently watch for an opportunity, pledg­ing himself to do all that legal skill could effect; and nobly he has redeemed Lis*iromise to the desolate, friendless, broken­ hearted woman who appealed to bim foraid.‘ I aucc-eded after several repulses, in securing a very humble position in one ofthe small theatres, where I officiited firstwith scissors and needle, in fitting costumes and in various other meniil employments;stu lying ceaselessly all the while to pre­ pare myself for the stage. The in m.iger 'being interested, encouraged me, testedme at rehearsals, and at last, after an arduous struggle, I made my debut at the benefit of one of the stock actors. Myname was adroitly whispered about, one or two mi sterious paragraphs were pub­lished at the expense of the actor,'’ and so,curiosity gave me an audience, and an op­ portunity. * TJrnt night seemed the crisis of raydestiny; if I failed, what would become of my baby ? Alreadv, my love, youwere my supreme thought. But I did not,my face was a great success ; my acting waa pronounced wonderful by the dramaticcritic to whom tho booofiriary sent a com­ plimentary ticket, and after that evening Ihad no difficulty in Motrring an engage­ment that proved very successful. * A year after I learned that Cuthberthad married a second time, I went to V—„ t0 M jfr. Hargrove, and obtained possession of my 1 cense. Tho good manonly gave mo a copy, to which he added bis certificate of tho sntem lization of mv’ marriage ; but be sympelb sed very deep­ly with my unhappy condi ion, and prom­ ised in any emrrgsncy to befriend yon,> my darling. A few hours after I left the > Paieonago it waa entero I aud robbed, andtbs license he refnaal me, was stolen.• Long afterward I learned ho suspected I use.’ > Hen Bogina nsrra'ed her diseovry ofc the mysterious fiuta aonnocted with th* * loss of the paper, and her first knowledger of Pelog Prieroon. As she explained thot oceurtrncoa that sneoeedod tho storm, Mrs. Ortns almost scowled, and resumsd :* He has boon tbs bets noire of my til- starrod life, but oren his malice bee boonsatiated at lari. Knxious to eh tel I youfrom tbo possibility of danger, and from •U eontaminaUt'g influaees and aaeo-sialkm, I earriod ya-i to a distent convent; the same with wlurh grandmother had throateood mo, and placed von under tbosacred shadow of tbo Nnu’s protection. Then assnrvd of your safety, and thatyonr edacallfni wvnhl not be nogloeted. I devoted myoeH eompletoly to my profes­sion. From city io oily I wandered Intraaol of terne and money, both an oamn- tial to the aeoompUebmowt of my eebsroe ;a acliems that g«mdad me deeping and waking, teavine no mxmoatof ropooe. * Ov* n‘g'ri to Ohleato. having overt* m Imy strong h, I fainted on the oteeot esi vxrote from tho tta’lrirs, and while my e r-xant fl*d for teristaece, I was fowl I by conscious, and I an; with me. * Once I took throe days ont of mybusy life, and visited tbo old family home­ stead of Gtn. Laurence. The owner was in Europe, the house closed ; but standingunnoticed under the veneral oaks that formed the avenue of approach to the an­ cestral hells of my husband, I looked atthe stately pile, nud the broad fields that surrounded it, and called upon Heaven to spare me long enough to see my child therognant heiress of aU that proud domain. There I vowed that coet what it might, Iwould accomplish my reveuge, would place you there aa owner of that noble inheri­tance.* ‘Through Mr. Palma’s inquiries con­cerning the records, I ascertained that this property bad been settled upon Cuthbert,on the week of his second marriage. You were so grieved because I left for Europewithout bidding you good-bye I Ah mysweet child I You never knew that it was the h»rd»st trial of my life, to put the oceanbetween us, and that I waa too cowardly to witness yonr distress at the separationthat was so uncertain in duration.‘Could I have gone without the sight of my precious babo ? I reached the con­vent about dusk, and informed the sisters that I dveined it best to transfer you to the guardianship of two gentlemen, one ofwhom would come and take you away, theensuing week. Through' a crevice of thedormitory door, I watched you undress,envied the gentle nun who gathered up yonr long hair and tied over it the htt'owhite ruffled muslin cap; and when yon knelt by your small curtained bed, and re­ peated your evening prayers, addin? aspecial petition that "Heavenly Father would bless dear mother and keep her safe." I ’tilled my sobs iu my handker­chief. When yon were asleep 1‘vrent •(> on tip-toe, and while Sister Angela held tbo lamp, I drew aside tbo curtain nnu lookedat ycu. How the sweet face of my baby stirred all tho tenderness that was left m ray embittered nature 1 As yon slumber­ed, yon threw yonr feet outsido the cover, nnd murmured iu your musical childishbabble something indistinct about ‘‘mother and our Blessed Lady." — ‘ My heart yearned over you, but I couldnot bear the thought of hearing yourpeculiarly plaintive wailing cry which al­ ways piorc«d my soul so painfully, aud Isoftly kissqd your feet and hurried away. Come, put yonr arms around my neck, and kiss me, my lovely fatherless child !’For some seconds Mrs. Orme held her iu a warm embrace. ‘ There, sit down. Little remains to betold, but how bitter I Here ib Paris, whileplaying "Amy Robaart,” I saw once more, after the lapse of thirteen years, the man who bad so couternptuouslv repudiated me.Regina, if ever yon uro so nnfortunito, so deluded, as to deeply nnd sincerely lov*any man, and live to know that you are forgotten, that another woman wears the name nnd receives tbo caresses that oncemade heaven in your heart, then, and onlythen, can you roalizo what I suffered, while looking at Cuthbert, with that othercreature nt his side, acknowledged hiswile! I thought I bad petrified, had censed to feel anuditbnt Imtbing nnd hate,but ah !—th* agony of that intolerable, that maddening sight 1 Ask God for a slirou I and coffin, rather than endure what Isuffered that night!' Sbo was too much engrossed by her mournful retrospective task, to observe thedeadly pallor that overspread Regina'sface, as the girl rested her head on the arm of tbs sofa and passed her fingersacross b*r eyes, striving to veil the image of one, beyond the broad Atlantic’s sweep and roar.‘ At last I began to taste tho sweet poison of my revenge. Cuthbert did not suspect my identity, but he was strangely fasci­nated by my face—and acting. Openly indifferent to tho woman, with whom hisfather had linked bim. and provided withno conscientious scruples, he audaciously expressed his admiration, nnd contrived aninterview, to commence his advances. Ho avowed sentiments disloyal to the heiress who wore bis name and jewels, and insult­ing to me, had I been what he supposed me, merely OJille Orme, a pretty actress. I repulsed and derided him, forbiddinghim my presence; and none can appreciate the exquisite delight it afforded mo tohumiliate and torture bim. When it'was a crime in the sight of man, he really begun to lovo the woman, who—in God's sight—was bis own lawful wife; and his punish­ ment was slowly approaching. ’ My health gave way under the un­natural pressure of acting evening after evening, with his handsome magnetic facewatching every feature, every inflection of mv voice. I was ordered to rest in Italy, add when I learned I sbonll there meetGeneral Lanrauce, I consented to go. Be­ fore leaving Pari*, I saw the only child of that hidous iniquitous sham marriage;and, darling, when I contrasted you, my own pare peart, with the deformed, dwarfish, repulsive daughter—whom theNemesis of ray wrongs gave to Cuthbert, in little Maud Laurnnee—I almost shouted aloud in my great exultation. Yon sobeautiful, with hispwn lineaments in every feature, disowned for that' mishapened,.im­ becile heiress of bis proud name. Ohmills ef the God's I how delicious the slow music of their grinding 1 •Thus far. my daughter, I have shownyon all yonr mother's wretched past, nnd now I shrink from the last blotted pages. Hitherto ray record was blamele’e, bnl•ven now taka care how yon judge ths mother who, if she has gone astray, did it for yon. all for yon. For some time I badknown that Cuthbert was living in reck­ less extravaganeo, that the affairs of thefather-in-taw were dangerously involved, and that without his own father’s knowledge Cuthbert had borrowed large sums in London and Paris, securing theloans by mortgages on his real estate in America; especially the elegant home­ stead. preserved for several generations inhis familv. Employing two shrewd Hebrew brokers, I by degrees bought upthose mortgages, straining every effort toeff- ct the purchase. ' When I reached Milan, I sat one nightpondering'what was most expedient, itwas apparent that in a snit for, and publica­ tion of my real title, and righta, I shouldbe defeated by the disgrace hurled upon me; and to subject the Lanranoes to the humiliation of a court scandal, would poor­ly indemnify me for the horrible strain which Peterson’s fonl claim would entail upon your innocent but premature birth.Mv health waa feeble, eonsnraption threat­ ened my- lungs, and Mr. Palma urged meto attempt no legal redress for my injuries. I could not die without one mere struggle In see you righted, elethed with your law­ful name. - - * My daughter, my darling, let all my love for yoa plead vehemently in mv de­fence. wb*n I tell you, that for yoar dear sake I made a deeperate, an awful, a sick­ening resolve. Gen. Lanranee was infatu-atedbymy beauty, whhh has been as fatal to his hews, aa hb name to mo. Likemany handsome old men, bo was inordi- natalyvain.and imagine i himwlf irrosietible and when be persecuted mv with attentionsthat might have compromised a wamaq^ tees prudent and prn.hah than I bore my­self, I determined to form bim to aa offer of his band, to marry him.' With a sharp cry, Bogina sprang Up.* Matter—not bim 1 Not my father'* father 1** Ye*. Bans Lamancs, tay husband'sfather.'With a gestiire of horror, the girl groaned and covered her white, convulsedface. ‘ Mtthrr ! Could my mother—oomrait such a loriheome, awful arioso agaioet Godind natnr* T ‘ It ws« for yonr sake, u*y dariiugr tried Mrs. Orme, wringing tear han-te, *■•aw the ’'iudder wit a which her etail r»- white-souled angelic over all my hopes, mv sspirations, my lovo and roveianoe—i>u mother I mother, you have doubly wrongedme I Tho disgrace of your unnatural and heinous crime, I can never, never pardon.'With averted head she stood apart, a pitiable picture of misery—that could find no adequate expression.* My baby, my love, my precious daugh­ ter I’Ah, tho pleading pathos of that marvel­ions voice which hsd swayed at will theemotions of large audiences, as soft, fitfulzephyrs stir and bow tbe tender graisu in quiet meadows I Slowly the girl turnedaround, and reluctantly looked al tbe be­ loved beautiful face, tearful yet smiling, beaming with such passionate Und^rnessupon beTT' Mrs. Orras opened h*r arms and Rigioasprang forward, sinking on her knees at her mother's feet, clinging to her dress'. * You could not smile noon me eo, withthat sin ceiling your soul I Oh mother, say yon did it not I’‘ God had mercy, and saved mo from it.** Let ns praise and serve bim forever, inthanksgiving sobbed the daughter.* I see now that my punishment would have been unendurable, for I should have lost tbe one true, pure heart that clings to*n*. How do mothers face tlieir retribu­ tion, I wonder, whan they disgrace theirinnocent little ones, and see shame, and horror, an I aversion in the soft faces thatslept upjn their bosoms and once lockedin adoration at the heaven of their eyea ? Evon in this life the pangs of the lost mustseize all such.’ * I did not marry Gen. Lanrauce, though I entertained all the purpose of a merelynominal union, and he accodeJ to my con­ ditions, signing a marriage contract, to adopt j-on, give you bis name, settle uponyou all his remaining fortune, except the rea' estate, which I know be hnd transfer­red to his son. I think my intense hatennd thirst for vengeance temporarily mod dened me; for had I been quite sane, Ishould never have forced myself to hang upon the verge of such an odious gulf. I was tempted by tbe uro spec t of makingyou the real heiress of ttio Laurence name and wealth, nnd of beggaring Cuthbert, his so-called wife and crippled child, by dis­playing tbe mortgage I held ; and which will yet swoop them to penury, for the baoker has failed, nnd Abbie Amos is pan-niless ns Miuuio Merle once wan. * While I floated down the dark stream to ruin, a blessed interposing hand arrestedmo. Mr. Palma wrote that at last a glori­ ous day of hope downed on my weary star­ less night. GorbeFt Audrn was alive andanxious to testify to tbe validity of my mar­ riage, and the perfect sanity and sobrietyof Cntbbert when it was solemnized (hisfather was prepared to plead that he was insane from intoxication when he was in­veigled into the ceremony);—and oh—bet­ ter, beat of all, my prosecutor bad relented 1Peleg swore that hia assertions regarding my character were untrue, were prompted by malice, stimulated by Laurnnco gold. Having been arrested by Mr. Palma andcarried before a magistrate, bo had written nnd signed a noble vindication of me.

God bless him—now—and’ forever 1 And may the dearest, fondestwishes of bis heart be fulfilled as complete­ ly, as have been hjs promises to me.’Regina's face wns shrouded by her mo­ther's dress, but thinking of Mrs. Carew, she sank lower at Mrs. Orme's feet, know­ing that her sad heart could not echo that prayer.‘ As yet mv identity has not beenpocted, but tho end is nt band, and I am* about to break tbo vials of wrath upontheir beads. Mr. falma only waits to hear from mo, to bring suit against Cuthbert for desertion and biguny and against ReneLaur.mce, the aro.rolsraon of my luckless married life, tor wilful slander, pretnidi- tated defamation of character.

Kiss me good-night. God bless my child.’ CHAPTER XXXII [FTER a sleepless nisbt, Cuth- ! bert Laurance sat in dressing, gowu and slippers, before thetable, on which was arranged his breakfast. In his right baud he held,partly lifted, the cup of coffee ; npon tbe left lie rested his head,seeming abstracted, oblivious of tbe dainty dishes that invitedbis attention. Ths graceful insoueianee of the Sybarite had vanished, and though the thirty-seven years of bis life had dealt very gently withhis manly bssuty, leaving few linos about his womanishly fair brow, be seemed to-daygmvsly preoccupied, anxious and depressed .Pushing back his chair, he set for some time in a profound and evidently painfnl reverie, and whin his father came iu, andclosed the door behind him, the cloud of apprehension deepened.* Good-morning, Cuthbert, I mnst com­pliment you oa your early hoars. How is 'I havfc not seen her th«|mornlng. Victor-ino usually takes her out at this time of day. I hope after a night’s reflection and rest, you feel disposed to nflbrd me morecomfort than yon extendsd last evening. Tbe fact is, unless yon coms forward and help me, I shall b* utterly ruined.'Gen. Lsuranoe lighted his eigar, anl standing before his son, answered coldly :* I beg you to recollect thst my resourcesars n>*t quite iuexhaustable, and when I gave that Chicago property to you I ex­plained the nec unity of curbing yonr rank­ les extravagance. Were I possessed of Rithsehild'a income, it would fail to keepnp >n his feet a man who sells himself to the devil of the gaming table, and enter­tains with the prodigality of a crown prinee.I never dreamed until last night that tbe real estate at home was encumbered bymortgages, and it will be an everlasting shame if tbe homestead should be sacri­ ficed ; but I can do no more for you. Thisfailara of Ames is a disgraceful affair, and I.understand soils his reputation beyond allhope of purification. H»w long dees Abbie expect to remain in Nice ? It does not look well, I can tell yon, that she should gooff and leave Mend with her bonne.'* Oh I for that matter Maud is better off hero, where aba can be seen regularly bythe pliyslsian, and Victorina knowa ranch •tier what to do for her than hriupotber.Abbie is perfectly aoquainted with Che change in her father’■ and iu toy own affairs, and I should cnpp»se she wouldhave returned itnmsdiatelv after ths receipt of the intelligence, especially as I informedher that we should be eoonpellsd to return to America.’ •I shall telegranh her to oome back at and freely, gay life at Nine, and toat bar ocmduei isnot wholly oompatabte with her duties aa awife and mother.' An ospreasion of subdued scorn UMsedover Cuthbert's faoe, as he answered w m - tiodly :* Probably your influence any avail to hasten her return. A* tw her peonhar views, aud way of oau lasting herself. Iirnagioe it is rather t» late for yon to in­ dulge >n faetiulfoue earpings, as you ejected■nl preesnteJ her to m»—as a suitable bride, psrtirnlariy aaaepteble fo you for a daughter; io-tew.*‘ Wbea men live aa you have done oieae year marriage, it fo oeamly eurprietugtint wtree abunld emulate timr lax exans- beart in* tbs bargain. But why dealiu recrimination ? Past mas takas are irremediable, and * it behooves me toconsider only the future, Were it not for poor Maud, I really should care very little, but her helplessness appeals toin* now mere forcibly than all other con­ siderations. You say, sir, that you cannothelp me, why not ? At this crisis a fewshares of stock, and some of those sterling bonds would enable me to pay off mypressing personal debts; and I could get away from PIris with less annoying notoriety and scandal, which above allthings, I abhor. I only ask tho means of retiring from my associations hers without disgrace, aud once safely nut of France, I■hall care little for the future. Yun cer­ tainly cannot consent to see rao strandedhere, where my position and menage havebeen so proud ?’ General Laurence puffed vigorously athis cigar for some seconds, then tocsed it down, put bis hands in his pockets, andsaid abruptly: * When I told you last night that I could not help you, I meant it. The stocks audbonds you require, have already been otherwise appropriated. I daresay, Cuth- bert, you will be astonished at what I amabout to communicate, but whatever your opinion of the step I Lava determined totake, I request in advance, that yon willrofrnin from any disagreeable comment. For thirty-seven years I have devoted my­self to the promotion of yonr interest and happiness, nud you must admit, you have often sorely tried my patience. If youhave at last made shipwreck of your favor­ able financial prospects, it is no longer in my powor to set you afloat again. Cuth­bert, I am on the eve of assuming new responsibilities that require all tho meansyour luxurious mode of living has left me.I am going to marry again.’ ‘ To marry again ? Arc you approach­ing your dotage ?’ The son had risen, and his handsome face was full of undisguised scorn, as hisvyes reste*! on his father's haughty, and offended countenance. ‘ Whatever your dissatisfaction, you willbe wise in repressing it at least in your remarks to me. I am no longer yunng, but am very far from senility; and findingno harmony in your household, no peace­ ful fireside where I can spend tho residue of my days in quiot, I have finally consult­ed the dictates of my own heait, and am prompted by the hope of great happiness with tho woman whom I sincerely love, tomarry her. Under thsso circumstances yon can readily appreciate my inability totransfer the stocks, which it apoars yonhave relied upon to float you out of this financial storm.* Cuthbert b?wed profoundly, aud answer­ed contemptuously: ‘They have, I prosumo, already been transfcired m the form of a marriage con­tract? Pardon mo, Sir,—but may I in­ quire whom you design to fill my mother'splace ?’ * I expect within a few days to present to von as my wife, the lovliost woman in all Europe, one as noble, refined, modest anddelicate ns she is everywhere conceded to bo beautiful,—the celebrated MadamoOdille Orme.' An unconquerable nmbarrxssraont caused his eyes to wander from his son's face asho pronounced the name, also ho would have discovered the start, the pallor with which the intelligence was received. Cuth-bert turned and stood at tho window, with his back to his father, aud tho convulsive movement of his features attested tho pro­found pain which tho announcement caused. * Madame Orme is not nn ordinaryactress, nnd has always maintained a reputation quite rare arneng those of her profession. I hive carefully studied hercharacter, think I have seen it sufficiently tested to satisfy even my fastidious stand­ ard of female propriety nnd decornm ; andknowing how proudly and jealously I guard my honor and ray asm', you may restassured I have notridtod anything in cun-railting both to tho keeping of this woman, to whom I am very deeply and tenderlyattached. She told mo ehe had mot you once. How did she impress you ?* It cost him a strong effort to answercomposedly: ‘She certaingly is the roost beautifulwoman I have seen in Europe.*‘ Ah ! nnd sweet as she is lovely I Mj son, do not diminish my happiness by un­ kind thoughts and expressions, whichwould result in our estragement. No father could have devoted himself moreassiduously to a child, than I have done to you, and in my old age, if this marriage brings me so much delight and comfort,have I not earned tho right to consider my own happiness ? It is quite natural that you should be surprised, and to some ex­tent chagrined nt my determination to settle a portion of my property upon a new claimant for my lovo and protection ; butI hope—for the sake of all concerned, yon will at least indulge in no harsh or dis­ respectful remarks. I have been- requestedto invito yon to accompany mo to th* theatre to-nijdit, to witness Madam Orme’s farewell to the stage in a drnmti of h*r own composition. After this eveningshe appears no miro in public, and al tho close of the play she desires that we shall meet at her hotel. I trust yon will conr-toonxly fulfil the engagement I have mode tor you, as I assured her she might expectus both.' Helighted a fresh cigar, and drew on hisgloves. Cuthbert hastily snatched a glass ofwater from the stint) near him, and layinghis hand on tho bo't of tho door leading to his sleeping room, looked over his shoulder at his father. The face of the son was whitened and abarpsnnd by acute suffering, nnd his blue eyes flaahod with a peculiarly cold sarcas­tic light as he exclaimed bitterly : * That Gen. Laut'ance should so far for­ get tbo aristocratic associations andmemories of the past, as to wrap bis am­bitious nstne around the person and char­ acter of a ynllvJioulisss qneen, certainlysurprises lift son, in whom bs would never have forgiven such n mesalliance ; but ehaaun a son gout ! Permit tn*, Sir,to hope, that my father may display the same infallible judgment in selecting a bride for himself, that he so successfullymanifested in the choice of one for his son; and ths sincere wish of ray heart is, that yonr wedded life may prove quite as rose-co’ered and blissful as mins.' He bowed low, and disappeared ; andafter a few turns Up and down tho room,during which he smoothed his ruffled brow, rejoicing that the announcement had beenmade. Gon. Lanranre went d^wn to his carriage, and was driven to the hotel, where ho hoped to find Mrs. Orme. . For several da vs after the narration ofher history to Regina, the mother had seen eomparatively little of her child, hertime being engrossed by numerous ro- beefgals, and the supervision of tome scene painting, which she considered es­sential to the success of the play. Only on the morning of the day appoint­ ed for ita proe«ntation, did Regina learnthat in * Infeliee * her mother bad merely written and dramattoally arranged an se­en rata bistorr of her own eventfal life. By this startling method she ho-1 long de­ signed to acquaint Gen. XAtrrantte and hisson, with her reel name, and tbo play had b«en very carefully east and prepared ; baRegina hoard with deep pain awl hamfiia tton of the vindiatlvo natnre of tbe surprisearranged, and eloquently plead that tho saerad past shosild not bs profaned by casting it before tbe public for eritielsm.Mr. Cbodsy earnestly aeeonded her en» Ironfiea that even now a ehanv* of yro-grsromo might he effected, but Mrs. Orme ■taarnly ad tested io her pnrposs, declaredit was too late for alteration, and that sb* would not eoMMt to forfeit tho delirlit of INGERSOLL Mirklt t Stun Wb. w. 0.

Only one re­ ceive! eny injury to speak of. Wm. Size, bein ’ tbe unlucky one, had bis arm dislo­ cated. Very little damage was done to tbe cab, Cabbaoe Leaf Tobacco.—The Monetary Timet has tbe following paragraph :—“ If a<y one thought the contemptuous expres­ sion * cabbage I* as used to characterize cigars, was a mere figure of speech, lie may be undeceived upon learning that seven quarts of a fluid seized by tho excise offi­ cers of Loudon the other day, was found to be nicotine, tho product of 2,500 pounds oi tobacco sweepings,- mixed with alcohol, to be used in transforming cabbage leaves into the • finest Havana cigars.’ ” Who’s the culprit ?

About ous week since, a woman residing at Mount Pleasant was engaged in wringing a mop. She must have applied more than usual power to her efforts, for her arm was broken above the elbow. She could no t believe that anything serious had hap­ pened until the pain became unbearable, and tho aid of a physician was called, when tho true state'of affairs was dis­ covered. Tho swelling is now somewhat reduced, ami tho patient is recovering from that “ simple turn of tbo wiist,’ Waening to Fabmebs.—One day Ibis week a valuable more belonging to Mr. AV. Muirbead, of Hamilton, was turned out to tho pasture, which was surrounded by a picket fence. Sho tried to jump tbe picket fence which enclosed the lot where she won, but was caught on fho sharp wooden points, which entered her body, and, in her terrible struggles to free herself, tore her abdomen to pieces. Sho got off aud ran up tho road eome distance, presenting a dreadful specta­ cle, but death soon relieved her of her suffer: rgs. Mr. Muirbead valued * her at ♦150, aud is now of opinion that farmers and owners of horses, are very foolish to use picket fences about their promises.

On the early train tbe crowff was not so great as at the 9.20 train. Thu day look­ ing unfavorable no doubt prevented iome from attending, but it proved to bo the day exactly that was wanted. In Hamil­ ton tho excursionists were not alone, Toronto city and other towns came to swell the numbers. Bands of music and long lines of men, dressed in regalia, carrying banners, marched through the principal streets. At the Oaklanda there was a large German party singing and drinking lager beer alternately, besidca games, swinging, boat­ ing, and a general pic-nio party. Tbo pro­ peller “ Florence " plied across the bay mauy times bearing large loads of pooplo. Everything passed off very pleasantly.

Provident people aro beginning to look over and patch up last winter's clothing. In the secret recesses of tho dressmaker's establishment fall fshions are being devis­ ed and *tudiod. The servants revel is now at its height in the town mansion occupied only by them. A few week* more and tho thronged seashore will b* deserted, and the cool fall wind* will whistle through desert­ ed seaside balls. The Civic Holiday. Monday was duly observed in Ingersoll os the annual Civio Holiday by tbe entire suppression of all kinds of business. Vari­ ous were tbo methods of spending th* day adopted by our townspeople, but by far the largest number who sought pleasure ia tbs sumo direction were those who patronized the excursion to Hamilton and tbo Oak­ lands over the Great Western Railway. Many smaller excursions took place to various points in tbo country to visit friends, fishing parties, and nther methods of amusement. Those who romaiued in town employed themselves as best they could aud if they received no other benefit they enjoyed as refreshing rest os the beat *and oppressiveness of the weather would admit. Wo refer to tho Hamilton excur­ sion elsewhere. Tbe afternoon was showery and threatening and many a ono who wont off for a day's or afternoon's pleasure returned at night with a wet skin. Altogether tho day pass'd over as well as could bo expected and the only suggestion which W6 hav* to offer «n a future occas­ ion of tbe kind is that soma con­ certed plan should bo adopted whereby all could unite together tor a grand gala day and cither celebrate it by a grand excur­ sion or else make an enjoyable day of it at home. Mr. Walley—What is tho difference between bonds and debentures mentioned in agreement ? Mr. Noxon—There is no difference materially. The agreement calls for “valid first mortgage bonds or debentures"— either one is a first mortgage on tbe road and that is nil the security wo want. A petition was road from Messrs.Suther­ land <f Siggins, asking leave to erect a frame workshop at tho rear of their pre­ sent premises. On motion ot Mr. Noxon, seconded bY Mr. Ellis, By-Law 112 was read a third time, finally passed, and ordered to bo pro­ mulgated. Mr. Walley—Is there no way of dictating to tho company as to tho right of way west of Thames street, so that they may bo confined to the street and pot allowed to purchase a large amount of expensive land on either side. Mr. Noxon—That must bo regulated by agreement. The company did at first cro’wd upon our lot, but we objected, and they have swung off to tho south. Wc do not wish the road to encroach upon us at all, os wo have not any too much now, but whatever land the necessities of tbe towu and company may require, they may have at tho same price at which wo paid for Two Happt Families.—In the township of West Zorro there are on the voters list 61 persons by thapameof Murray and 64 by the name of MacKay. /.rrrantD Robbxrt.—An attempt at highway robbery was made on Monday night in tbe neighborhood oi Lucan, Mr. John McFee being the victim.

In one or two of tbo clauses, the words“bouds or debcnturcs"appearod,which were amended by adding tbo words “valid first mortgage." This amendment was unnecessary, as the words were only repi- litions of the sama stipulations in the more vital clauses. On motion, the committee rose and re­ ported, recommending the adoption of tbo agreement as amended, and that tbo Mayor and Clerk bo authorized to sign, seal and properly execute the said agree­ ment on behalf of the Town of Ingersol’.

On motion of Mr. Noxon, seconded by Mr. Partlow, the petition of Merer*. Suth­ erland & Siggins, to erect a frame addition to their workshops, was granted, if, on enquiry, the erection of such addition did not increase the rate of insurance on *ur- rjunding property.
