THE VILLAGE of Norwich is progressing very favorably and satisfactorily to the inhabitants. We notice by an Article ia the Standard that upwards of 120,400 will bo spent tbs present season in now Luildings. This ia encouraging and tn additional survey of building lota is spoken of to meet tue demands of settlers. This is a proof that railway competition is a good thing. . THE LONDON Tim et, in au editorial on the British C.dutnbian Indians, says that the Local Government and th* white population of British Columbia ought to oppeso no further obstacles in the way of {tbo settloiiicutof existing grievances. The Indian policy of the Canadian Govornmnnr has been eminently prudent, pacific aud humaue. and has been justified by tho results. Canada lias hitherto been | justly proud of tbs pence maintained with ihs aboriginal tribes. Her triumphs have been won by equity and kiudoess. Any delay in settling tha difficulties in British Columbia would be supremely dangerous to the credit and tranquillity of tbo Domin ion. THE MATTER of expanse io putting dewo new sidewalks, making streets, culverts, ate., and keeping the eatno in repair, is con siderable in a town of tho size of Ingersoll. Oue reason for this is that the houses arc scattered fartltcr apart than they ore in larger and consequently more densely pop ulated towns and cities, and hence the ex tent of sidewalk and sliest is much greater in proportion. T1 i< fpct should le borno in mind; end it should also bo xemombered that ths ama'l lewn has an cmusl expend iture in k *•> up a market c<nitabUAry and tthor • d e ‘a s and i djucots 11 e came as larger towns.

We will just point out a frw instances: We have seen rubbish dumped out into streets and allo wed to fill up tbe gutters. Manyut our storekeepers are ia tbe habit of depositing their shop sweep ings on tho street. These are very sloven ly and dirty habits, and the rubbish has, iu lime, got to be removed at the public ex panse.

London, Aug. 27.—A correspondent, an »yc witness of Friday's fircat battle iu Scbipka Pass, telegraphs Saturday:— ■■ Riding backward from Scbipka through tbo night, I passed masses of reinforce- mente, artillery and infantry, hurrying for ward. Their strength ought to aecnre the safety of this all-important petition." The same eorrerpoudeut telegraphs from Bu charest Sunday :—" luform ilion follows me that fighting at 1 bn pass i> still raging, having been ngaiu renewed to-day, but Raditesky continue* to hold hi* own.

Tlio story was uot enntinod to any one section ot tho road, but was known r.nd told in almost ovary tavern and farm boiis* from Hamilton to London; though people when tolling it were apt to I make tho whereabouts of tho keg in their own tonosbip, but to say just exactly where, no one ventured. Many a boy burn ou that road has dreamt of finding the treasure, nnd a* lie camo from school built cos lias wli tcli wore rudely shattered whan, a* lie found bitusolf at buincjio was ordered by his less dreamy father to tbo back of the ptace for thn cows. Mon, too, were fusciunted 1 v the tale, aud spout titnn in guessing nl tbe location of tbs money, and they were sometimes to bo seen ougngod io prospecting, tbougli when taxed with this they were wont to deny tbe charge. Puuplo on tho road will remember a colurcJ man. known iu coino parte bj- tho name of "Pete tbo nigger,” in others "Black Peter'' and iu Ancaator a# "Samson," from his size. What was remarkable about his name wu* that bo was known by a diffvreut otio in every township or village. Ho spsnt year* travelling from one and of thn road to the oilier, working a httlo on the way, but living for tba most pari ou tbe charily of tlio wnysider*.

H<s house at wbicn I>A stopped, but having se- cured n piece of bread the night before, lie took his way nt daylight. Auy on* who chanced to meet him, or rather coma on him unawares at this early party of the •lay. would find him probing the rarth with a pole he over carried along the roadside or iu tho adjacent fields. When questioned as to what lie was at, the answer would be made that lie was looking for roots. Seven teen years ago bo died in Wvst Oxford township rather suddenly, but not before ho told tho hostler of the*stable in which Turkish MSanltiug parties were main cd farmer by whom be was employed that he hnd a keg of silver hid in Canada, gave a description of the locality whoro it was bidden and also gave him a rude sketch of the spo . Whether ho had come by tho ■>oney rightly or wrongly he did not say. Thofarmer, Anderson by numo, was of a sup erstitions character and temperament. He pften told bis family that ho intended some day to be rich but that to attain this end he must needs go to Canada. To Canada, however, be never went. He died about 1857, leaving besides several daughter* two boys in infancy. Ho mad* a will dividing tbo property among the family. H* also loft a sealed envelope with bis lawyer tb* instructions being to deliver it to hi« two boys when the .youngest camo of age. They had often been* told of the eccentricities of their father and they wore not surprised when on breaking the seal they found a f.iw scrap# of writiog telling them about a fortune being buried in Canada for them, the directions for which were also enclosed n* well a* the aketsh made by Lionard. Tho boys laughed, said they ihmigbi their father was in oue of hi* moods when he left the envelop* and said they had no in- toution of looking for the forttine. Never theless the brothora agreed to take each a cony of th* directions and plan, thus per mitting whichever of them went to Canada to make euqnir.es. Tho younger went off tn college, the elder remained in Portage. For tho last few month* tho latter brother lias been thinking of the buried money, ami, ozee his curiosity was aroused, ho de termined to come to Canada todonk for it. About three weeks ago ho arrived at Cath cart, in Burford township, and began mak ing enquiries with due caution. After he had made the acquaintance of two young mon of. that village, ho told them of his mission, 'and naked their assistance, bat withheld tbe plan till they wrro ready to begin operations. They made their ar- । rungements, and on Thursday, th* Oth of I August, provide! with spades and crow- bar*. th»y begnn work at lb* spot indicated, about three-quarter* of a mite from Catb- J carl. They weto rathei encouraged whnr', without difficulty, and relying solely on th* napere, they found tho stone under which| the keg was said to be. Without mncli exertion they rolled the stono awav and began digging- Tiny had not gone down more tbnn a foot when tho tep of the keg was laid bare. In a few seconds the keg tvn* fully exposed, and in transports of delight they seized hold to lift it ont. But who can tell of ibeir disappointment when tbe keg wps found to bo empty. T"eir dis appointment, especially that i»f yonng Andora?n, soon gave place to rage when on closer examination they found Iwo American half dollar# of ths coinage of 1828 in tbe bottom of tho keg. thus conveying to them clearly that tho money had been there, bul that some one had been before them and carried It off. Anderson al once charged bis younger brother with fore stalling him, aud left Cathcart tha' after noon for hum*. Nothing more is known about th* matter than Hint a yonng fellow bearing, ns people now say, a strong resem blance to Andaman, staid two d*ye in Cath cart during last November, and left early on the third morning.

The money ws« said to belong to the Government, and wak ta be med in the payment ot the militia and the men building the new roads.

When our reporter visited tbe lions* th!* moruing, Mrs. Drummond seemed in great anguish, giving vent to heart rending groan*, and frequently ejaculating that she could not survive. Dr*.

The excellent condition of these has shaken my frith somewhat in the superiority cf fall plowing, so far at least, that it see ms the main advantage of it consists in the very con venient eet forwaid it is in the spring to have the plowing already done. Moreover, when the crap is corn, the cut-worm is not so dc- •WuctfVe, and in addition to these two rea son* for having the plowing done so as to lie bH winter, it has rise been considered that the frost had then a better effect in pulveriz ing the wil and making a good seed bed.

There formerly were more difference* of opinion a* to the time of sowing wheat than there are now. The majority of farmers prefer early sowing and if the seed is well in the ground late in August, tho chances are more favorable than if sown later. Where wheat follows oats, the oat stnbblo should ba plowed immediately after tho crop is taken off the field. If the weather is dry, tho greater will be tho necessity for repeated plowing and rolling, to prevent tho soil from linking. A mellow soil, well rolled and packed, is what the seed requires to germinate io. If the eoi is clodded, tho young roots are exposed to the action of air in the open spaces, and dried and killed. .Tias i* the secret of many failures of what were at first promising seedings. Ila pcated harrowings and rollings are needed to produce the proper condition of the soil. No matter ii the surface is somewhat rough. Drilling is by far the brst method of seeding. It costs SO cts. an acre if the drill i» hired, and lea* if it is pjircliMed.
