Hitchens, with four sons and two daughters, took refuge under a tree. The lightning struck the tree, and three children—two sons and a daughter—were killed. Tho father and re­maining children wsrs seriously hurt.IT IS estimated that the amount of wheal down this fall, in this county, will exceed that of any two previous years. The past two weeks have been very favorable for its growth, and fields that have only been sown a few days are already looking quite green. Should the yield bo as good next harvest os the present one, Oxford will uavs a large surplus to spare.THE LIBERAL COXBERVATIVE Associa­tion of the North Riding of Oxford, in view of the possibility of a geneiul election in the near future, will hold a grand mass meeting of the party, ia th* Town Hull, \Voodstuek, on Frid^ next, the 21st inst. Addresses will ba delivered by Messrs. James Fahey, H. B. Board, J. H. Wood and oth.-rs, on the public questions of tbc day. A general gathering of the electors is desirable.No. 4 COMPAXY.—Capt.

Though they have new been onlysoldierly appearance, and wo have no doubt that by the end of (ho wack, wbon they will bo inspected they will bo fully up to the mark. The Company will in all probability be inspected on Saturday next, instead of Friday, as previously announced, by Deputy Adjutant General Taylor and ther*.A NEW EXCAMPMSXT, 1.0-0. F.—A now Encampment, under tho jurisdiction of tho Grand Encampment of the Independent Order of Oddfellows of Ontario, was insti­tuted in th# City of London, on Thursday night last, bearing tho namo of “Adolphian, No. 08.” It is the intention of the mem­bers composing this body to make Ibis the Encampment of th# West, and it is expect­ed the membership thereof will pro vid* tbem«lve* with tbe uniform pertaining to th# Order, The Encampment was insti­tuted by W. G. Patriarch Bro. Thomas W#odyatt, of Brantford, awisted by Patri­arch* Box and R. Mathison, of London, D. D. G. Patriarch, W. W. Griffey and Wm. Ewert. C. P., of Ingersj]!. After tb* in­stallation ths visiting patriarchs wer* entertained most sumptiously at the Albion.IXITIATIOX ox THE CARS.—While the del­egates to the Grand Lxlga of Free Masons, among whom were several representatives from Ingersoll, were reluming from St. Catherines on Thursday evening, on the G. W. R., an event took place which was not “down on the bills." A lady passen­ger, on her way to Chicago, gave birth to a fine healthy child. The fact reached the Mra of ths breatbren, and it being found that the woman was in indigent circum­stances, a well-known member of the Order, who is also Reeve of a municipality not IOC miles from London East, at once started a eubscription on her behalf, when a considerable sum was collected and hand­ed over. All praise to such benevolence I Dr. Lamley attended th* woman, who was an emigrant going wwt to her hasbaud. Tb* birth took place a* the train WM pas- sing Paris, and before the train passed Ingersoll for the west ths report was issued “ mother and child doing well."THE HALIFAX Reporter appreciates the OUR READERS will be pleased to see by the report of the Voters' List Court, which will ba found in another column, that Mr. Wolls has been fully exonerated by the judge from the foul and nawamotable. charges made against him, and which were so generally discussed by political parties in our town dnriug the past three weeks. We hope this may be a lesson in the future to the members of the Reform party here who are so ready to circu'ate such damag- irg statements without a shadow of founda­tion. Wo do not wish to enlarge upon the matter, and hope that we shall hear no more about IKpersonal favor* that when anything Is wanted for the benefit of the County or for the general good.tboy are not in a position to urge their demands. The sooner this tiling is put a stop to the belter, and wo 1 are glad to notioo evidences of a general awakening in the county, which, when tbe time comes, will drive these hungry place­men from power.Trials, Vallies, Trareniii Bap, aTHE “WEEKLY LIBERAL."—Th# above is the title of a very excellent appearing sheet published at Tilsonburg, the first number of which come* to baud to-day. Messrs. Dresser <k McQuire are the publisher* and from the first impression w# feel safe Jn prophesying for it a successful future. In it* iatrodnetory it promises to go into neither the whitewashing or mud slinging buisness for cither party and desires to ba juged rather by its contents than by any promises the publisher* may make. It is neatly printed, full of reading matter, with a liberal advertising patronage for the start, and wo wish it-success.SIR JOHN MACDOXALD has lived a life consistent with his teachings. He never was known to advocate a maasure, and when the chance came for carrying it into execution, to ignore his former avowcls. The Grits acouss him of trying for the Catholic vote. They state that he has done unfair things, and has tried to ride the Catholic and Orange horses at tho same tim#. W* know well that in Sir John's lime both Catholics and Orangemen used to m >et in harminy. We know well that th# Conservative Givernmmt embraa«d these two opposite elements, aud is there a man in Canada wbo doos not wish to toe Canadians—be they diamatieally opposed in religious and social matters—join band ■ in baud to suppirt aul maintain the fair Confederation. We copy a small portion of Sir John's speech at Lindsay, read it al) of yon, and ask yourselves the question if Sir John was not an honest man. 8«o the the tribute he paid to this young Catholie. The Grits will say h* was fishing for Cath­olic influence, bnt we know that when George Dormer was alive, Sir John treated him as he speaks of him, as a true friend, and the Catholics will find that Sir John A. Macdonald is tho bust friend they ever bad.“ Sir John Macdonald was next intro­duced. H* was received with loud ap­plause. Ha said he re-visited Lindsay with mingled feelings of pleasure and re­gret ; pleasure at tb* magnificent welcom* given him, and regret at the remembrance of bis pnpil and friend, George Dormer, whoso interests ho had iu 1372 advocated. When he thought of that fine, ingenuous youngman, full of hope aud cordiality, who was now lying cold in his grave, while he, advancing in nge, was still living,' he could not help thinking “ what shadows wo are and what shadows we pursue." In taking Georg# Dormer, a Roman Cathnlie. as their repreae italivo in Parliament, the Roman Catholics and Protestants who elected him did honor to themselves and lo Canada, and did much to appease th* ill feeling which Georg# Brown had endeavored to Stir up between Protestants and Catho- lies. Victoria was, however, now woll rep­resented ; in the South Hiding by an nbl# man, Mr. McQuade, and in th# North Rid­ing by a talented and rising man, Mr. Hector Cameron."MODEL SHOOL PROGRAMME.—The County Model Schools, established a* training schools for candidate* for third clos* certi­ficates, wer* opened ia various places on tho 27th ultimo. The reflations allow only twenty-fiv* teachers in training to attend in one session. At the doss of each session which lost* about seven weeks, tbe candidates will be subjected to an oral and written examination, by the Co. Board of Examiners, on Education, School Law, Rsading, Mental Arthimslio and Hygiene. During each session the Principal is rc> ?uired to give to tb* *tud*nte twenty-ieven .actures—Five on School Organization, Management, and Discipline—thirteen on teaching the various subjects taught in oar Publio Schools, with a view that every L-acher-in-training should become acquaint­ed with on# good method of teaching each subject from the beginning ef the pro­gramme to Ibe end of tbe fourth class ;— five on Hygiene, and four on School law. Ia addition to these lectures an bonra day is to be devoted to giving instruction in Reading and Mental Arithmetic alternately.Notice is hereby given that C.

The emissaries who were sent through the County, a few weeks ago, to spy out the land aud feel the pulse of tbe faithful found little encouragement to prosecute the undertaking, and so it lia* b»en decided to forego th* visit of the Premier for this season, and the few thick and thin supporter* of the Government, who hang on the skirts of Mr. Mackenzie aud hi* associate incapable*, will have to oantent themselves with th* crumb* which fall from the table* nt the Galt and Simcoe bun feeds. For a County that has don* *o much for the Pairly this is rather meagre fare, but it i* what might b* expected and is deserved. Both Hidings of Oxford, now and for nearly *11 time part, have been •warming with hungry offic* *eoker* and men who were continually crying for “More." When Mr. Mackenzie was placed at the head of the Government, the time for these men to make their harvest bad arrived and tb*y profited by it They ae- sailed the Premier with such persistency that he could not turn him-slf without being pestersd.

Nicholas, and tbe Turkish flag now floats over the Russian works. Previous to the capture of tbe fort the Russians, wbo bad received coniidor- able reinforcements, made several unsuc­cessful altAeks upon lb# Turkish positions commanding the Gabrova road.Bachaiist, Sunday night.—Colonel Wel­lesley bus just arrived from tb# Russian bcpJqnsrtero btfor# Plevna. H* reports all quiet, except intermittent firing anound the Grivica redoubt, which is still b. LI by the allied forces. Military operations re illy closed on Wednesday evening, when the Turks recaptured tbe doable redoubt taken bv Skubeleff. The Russian# hav# nc t abandoned their positions, and do not seem dispiseir to Jo so; on tbe contrary, they ur« forlyfying thorn. Suleman Pjsha has effected a junction with Mebemel Ali.It Mems probable their combined forces may attempt aometbing against th# army of the Czarwitcb, which was already oblig­ed to retire before this junction was effect­ed and may now bo forced to retreat still further; although the Imperial Guard now arriving rapidly, may put another taco on affairs.Gen. Skobeleff lost 2,000 men in attack­ing the redoubt, and 8.00U in holding it.An immense proportion of officer* wa* killed and wounded. Only one command­er of a reriment is alive, and scarcely a bead of a battalion is loft. Two offlccers of tho «taff are killed. Colonel Wellesley saw General Skoceloff in bis tent at night. He wa* quite calm aud collected. He said " I have done my best. I could do no more, my dqtaohment is haife destroyed. Mv regiment* do not exist. Jl have no officers ten. I have lost turee gnat." “ Why did they refuse you reinforce meats ?” the Colonel asked. “ Who wo* to blam#?" I blame nobody," General Skobeleff replied. “ It wi» the will of God."London, Sept. 17—An official Rustian, bulletin at Poredin on Saturday, MJS tkw bombardment of Plevna continued yester-' day. The Turkish batteries scarcely re­plied. Generals Skobeleff, Dragomiroff, an4 Imretinsky were promoted to Lieut­enant-Generals on tbe I3lh. Th# Turks placed thre# eighty pound mortars between Sbipka and Fort St. Nicholas and bom­barded the fort. On the 18th the Russian* lost 40 killed and 117 on th# 14tb.A despatch yesterday contained a Con­stantinople telegram of lb* IGth, raying the Grand Vizier informed Minister Lay­ard that Osman Pasha defeated the Rus­sian* on Saturday; ako a statement that reports were current of tho defeat of tbe Russian army; also that it was possible telegraphic delay* might have caused a confusion of dots*, and tbe Vizier's com­munication might refer to fie attack on Skobeleff on Wednesday. It i* now certain that tbe inference was correct. It i* equally rer ain the report in Bucbuirt that tho Turk* m*d# seven ineffectual assault* in an attempt to recapture the Grivio* redoubt, ana lort 10,000 men is one of many groundless rumor*. Th*r* ha* been no serion* engagement since the defeat of Skobalefi on Wednesday.Tn# Netos says w# are unable to form any other conclusion than that tbe attack on Plevna not only failed, bnt so failed that it cannot be renewed. Reports say Osmaa Pasha's fortified position at Vartsa i* naturally almost impregnable, upon which he will retire if driven from Plevna. A Roumanian attempt to cut his com- mnniration* seems to have failed.

MEMORANDUMS, CIRCULARS, PRINTING OFFICE Accidental ciretun- 14tt^c^S* inay tend to advance or depress the price temporarily, but it gradually finds its level again, by force of a rule which is always at work, and is of universal application. The cost of a thing is its average cost ; there can not be two prices, one high and one low, at tbo some time, so that tho average price is ' fixed‘between tlio two extremes of highest snd lowest cost. Therefore, ho who produces anything at the least cost, makes an extra profit; he who produces at a mean cost, mokes a fair profit, and the one whose product costa ■ the highest, fails to secure any profit, but may gain a loss instead. Now the actual cost of a thing M measured by the labor ro- quired to produce it If a day’s labor is worth 82.50, add four-Joys’ labor are re- <jaired to-produjc a ton of hay, By the help of the best labor-saving implements, and .c,.- «$ght days are required to produce it with - ouft the aid of these, the probable selling ^price wiR be §15 per tun. One man will be paid fX75 per day, at this price, and another Will only receive 8I.87J; and if tho latter hires any labor, he will not get his money back. Tlds aiustration is of M wide npplica- tip^t^ngrieaitural mdaitry-M to all others. —'b'-'t to the making of hay, for in- we may see how much profit may bo from the investment of a certain mm Jmohey’uiTiaying machinery. A full set, • iut^udrng -mower, tedder, rake, loader and hay-fork, and carrier, may cost §350. With "1' care, 'these may be made ‘to last 20 years, in Which time a yearly nllowanca of 10 per cent will pay for them, and also the iatcrest on thb cost wjUj necessary repairs. Tho charge will therefore be $35 a year fur the use of allrthfe machinery. If there are only ten acres of land in hay, to be mowed each year, the tebarge per acre will be §3.50. Thia . ’m^t-bo sayed £nt of tho sum that would ’ otherwilc b* n&csaarily expended for baud • labor. -A probable-estimate, founded upon what wo have been able to do, or have seen done with machinery, and what we have had done by baud labor, may bo made as here STO V izT he cost of making five acres of hay JLy machinery, will ba about equal to 4he.labor of two men for one day and a half, ‘costing, at §1,60 a day, §4 50. Thia may ■ -serin n very low estimate, but when we can cut one acre of good grass per .hour-, with auth k mower as tha Champion Haymaker, or tits B«ekeye, and by the nao of a tedder, horse rake and hay-fork, have some of the I five acres of bay safe in the bam before night, and the remainderman in before noon the next day, thr estimate is a reasonable »ak II t» Upjtoflod. that tfic weather is all that con be wished, and with everything in ' ncAraatc of Farm Buildings. No farmer can afford to have his home­ stead or0 bnildinga uuinflored. To have them burned by accident would bo ruinous to him, and a conflagration, which may occur at any moment, might involve tho loss of buildings, tools, implements, live stock, and crops. No farmer can afford io run this risk, while Safe insurance is to be had BO cheaply. Rut unless the insur­ ance is procured in a perfectly safe and honorable company, the policy is hardly to be held as any security. In choosing a company in which to insure, it would be wise to select one which does an extensive business throughout the country, and thus lessons tho risk of loss, averaging, os it were, Ite risks. Thoso insured are always more watchful and careful of danger. The wise precautions enforced by tho insurance company, beget a habit of precaution and carefulness on the port of the insured, par­ ticularly when it is known that a want of care, and the recklessness of lights and fire, will vitiate a policy. Then dangerous and explosive oils will be avoided, and only these that are known to be perfectly safe to USD will h* burned.

It is a peculiarity of mankind that they will more readily obey any regulations in ado for them, than fellow their own knowledge of what ought to bo done. Mtn would rather be govern­ ed that govern themselves, and very readily submit to reasonable control. Thus it is always fonnd that greater neatness, care­ fulness, and caution are found about farm buildings when they are insured. No care­ ful businessman will run the risk of losing his property by firo, and every farmer should bo a business man. ONTARIO, PHYSICIAN,SURGEON, *«.. tomwrly Burgoon InUn U. <i. snay and navy.

The flrat two eruptions were of no great consequence. Of the third we hove detailed accounts in ths “Historical Narrative" of . Don Jorge Jnau and Don Antonio de Ulloa. They tell of its having submerged tho spamous valley from Calio to Latacunga, filling it with turbid waves, in r whioh great numbers perished. The erup- •tion that followed in the succeeding year, the fomtb was still more disastrous. Ac- Cetdlng to the Jesuit Father Velasco, in his history of Quito, it carried ruin to a dis­ tance. of BOO miire. Humboldt relates, in ' hie "Cosmos,'’ that in Honda, 436 miles from the volcano, explosions like the sound , of-Carmon wore heard. In tba seventh eruption. April 4, 1768, the shocks and tbe . Kain of earth extended from Popayan to , Gnayquil—distance 466 miles. Quito nnd other towns were plunged In Complete darkneu from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.t tba horror of the situation being aggravated by fie- qusot earthquakes and by the frightful tearing of the infuriated giant. The head of the Government sent to ths Court of Madrid a curious report on this catastrophe, beginning:—“The President of Quito in­ forms your Majesty of what took place on ths 4th day of April, in consequence of tbe . bunting of tbo groat volcano and moun­ tain of Cotopaxi, situated in tho bosom of Tacunga, 18 leagues from this city." _ Villavicencio, in his “Geography of Ecuador," calls the eruption of 1768 the eighth, whereas tha historian Cevallos d«- nominates it the seventh. Villavicencio adds that it was repuled the must horrible ef oil. Cotopaxi was not reeponslble for the great'earthquake of 1797, which de- ■troyad Riobamba, LatacutWa, and Am- bate, and cost so many lives. From 80,000 to 40,000 perished by it. Humboldt Mcribee that cataclysm to another volcano, tho Galera, and Mya it was one of the most ‘ terrific phenomena in the physical history of our gl<Ae. The same thing happened , with tbe Gatera as with Vesuvius at the , time-of the earthquake at Lisbon.„ Both । Voloainoas ceased to pour out tbe elfinda of , •team and smoko which they had thrown off before the convulsion. Tha Galera, norartbeleas, is 92 miles from.Quito, which The only true ghost story I know is the story of Choker's ghost. That !■ a positive foot wall attested. All tbo neighbors know tfhat happened. All the neigh bon saw how It began, "and as it is the story of Choker's ghost, it could not have begun until Choker died. Old Choker had boon so called for a good many yearn—before he was actually old, I should suppose; but ho was a very queer follow, a man without relatives or friends, and who seemed to want nous. Ro was a mysterious man, too.Ho had a wooden leg, and no one knew how he same by it* Ho bad a black patch ever one oyei and no one coaid toll why ha wore it. Ho had a rusty brown wig, and there Was no man intimate enough to know whether bo adopted it because ho was bald or because ho was gray.He had a deposit in tha hank, and no oue knew how bo earned the money. He came to Grabtown, and booght a house and a little farm there, giving hU name as Guy Choker. That was all that any ono know about him, except that he had the best crops to was gio uesrest point affected. Humboldt taxations ! another phenomenon. Tbe esmtro of tho explosion WM Riobama, and yot at Latacunga and Am bate, tho places nearesl to i it, tils groat subterranean noise WM not heard. Ai Quito it sounded only eighteen twenty ruinates after the eatMtropbe. Walls changed places with­ out falling. Crops made a sort of ehazte- troize, one AMniniug tbe position of the other. Edifices of atone aud mortar flow through the air. some of them falling up- gida down on ilioir roofs, and vice versa, while others wars carried off uninjured, (trilh tho bauds and planted fields around them, to distant places, tbns giving HM TA disputes which camo before tho courts. < Roads changed their positions aud appear­ance ; a lake burst lata flames (Lake Qair- Otoa), mountains were levelled, and Valleys filled up. In short, tba day of judgment soetnod to have dawned for the । wrotahod Inhabitanta of tboM fated dis- ' tricte. According to tha German traveller. Dr. W. Reiss, no resent eruption of Cotopaxi has ejected more lav* than that of 1854, tha aighth. Tbe niuaih took plaaein 1855, but this was a mate suggestion of power on the part of the volcano—a grand pyro* technic show—for although it poured out torrents af fire, water and stones in a etale ef inoandescence, no great harm resulted from the dieplav. There occurred auolhor eruption fa 1856, the only beneficial one, on the water like a ship at sea until sbat- ; tered by the current. The loss in ths vaL } ley of Cliillo alone is estimated at over ’ 12,000,000, and the loss in oilier sections is ‘ equally great. It is likewise calculated ’ that the number of the dead exceeds 1,000. 1 A third eatanwt took an easterly direo- 1 tion, destroying ths bridge of Patale, and 1 doing previous injury to the estates in that neighborhood, of which thamost important > is celebrated for its fine wine, well known as “Vino de Relate," made by Dou Vicente 1 Alvarez. We have us yet no detailed ao- ccuuta of the ravages caused by tha ernp- tton iu the east, and are still in ignorance astowhethir they have extended to the equatorial territory ol the Ama ton.Although the larrouqdinga of Quito have been laid waste, the city itoeif only suffered from a rein of ashes and a complete dark- USM, which began on the 2Gth of June, al three in the afternoon. At Mochache and other places tha night lasted thirty consecu­tive hours. In the midst of this opaque gloom cue could hear Iha ballowing of the eatlle and the cries of other animate, who, deprived of their usual food by the shower of ashes, sought in a species of frensy for the means of satisfying their hunger. Other beastB, frantic with terror, careered hither and thither at if in despair, and the piteous howling of the dogs pierced the air with its ominous sound. In Quito tha darkness was not ne that of night; it was liko that described by Ilie younger PHuay in aletier to Tacitus, in which ba relates the eruption of Vesuvius and ths destruc­tion of Pompeii. “ In was," he says, “ as if the lichte in a room had been extinguish­ ed.'1 Al Quito the shower at first was of course, heavy sand, which subsequently turned into aahu so fine and impalpable that they penetrated not only into opart- manto, but into the most caretully-cloaed .receptacles. In the deoth of th# darkness, men and women, braving the rain of ubas, sallied forth into the streets, screening IheniKalvss with umbrellas and lighting their way with lanterns, and all tho while these strange apparitions rent tho air with their cries and prayers for mercy. The umbrellas, M well as tha green eye-glassee used h«re on journeys, were no superfluous precaution against the subtle powder, which it WM remembered ha<L iu many cases produced blindness daring the erup­ tion of 1840 and tba rain of ashes of thirty hours which attended it. From tba outset the people hod unani­ mously ascribed tha disaster tea chastise­ment of heaven, brought down by the irre- ligian of the Government, wbidrhad arbi­ trarily closed the churches and deprived tho people of those spiritual consolations that were made doubly nacoMary by the sad condition of things in general. The idea of a divine punishment spread like wild-fire, and as ths tempest raged more powaf nf defying death and tba undertaker, no one fall prepared to ansWeF.Ho was known sometimes aa 'Cbeker'B ghust,’ and Hmatimes as 'Choker that osmo to? but no one doubted for a moment that Bomohow ho WM Choker) and tha very Choker that had been dead, subject to an inqneat, and bcried ; and ol! tbi* *«ut “n for tea good years, and people bad grown used to it, *ben one Bold winter morning a note W M hrodght to tho doctor, bearing those words I’ Conte to rtta.

In vain has the population sighed for • repetition of this phenomenon. For my part, I do not think this eruption de- •erves to ba classed among tha eruptions property so called. Since then Cotopaxi has maintained a comparstire repose, td- thtragh it does nd give evidence of a vol­taic activity which mskes of it a Proteus for the variety of shapes it assumes, and a chameleon for the diversity of colors in which it robes itself.

Latacunga, July 80,18T7. , On the 25lh of ibis month the volcano of Cotopaxi gave unmjstakable symptoms of an eruption. A deffsa cloud of Mbas com­ pletely concealed the peak, and in the even­ing tha lightning-like HM IIM of ths eubter. ranean fires M they fitful!v pieread or ware r« fl acted in tho ashy cloud added to tha majesty and hm r of the scene. Tho fl rat rays of dawn of the moralhg of tho 26th showed the mountain covered with a thick btaak garment, Al eight o'clock a boatse noiM WM hoard, distant at first, but gradu­ ally approaching, until ths entire popula­tion wore in motion, one and all domlo»L •d by the foe ling that something dreadful WM about to take place. At ten o'clock there WM DO longer any doubt that the al­ ways Ineroariag noire WM a forerunner of Ad irruption. Ou being assured ot this, sevarat of os mon a ted oar horses and rode out to obasm ths quantity at water and ths direction it would fake. We soon saw enough to make as fear that the sneruwue quantity of water vomited out by tha vol- cane would totally destroy tha city. On this I pul spare to my hotso and rode heck ta tha town In hopes of being of aoms UM in Abating some of tho unfortunate inhab­itanta to ascend lho“Calrerie," their naar- sMand porbam their only safsty in care of imradatioD. N« WM I mtetakoo in my proguoaflcalious. for tho torrenl WM suffl- cisnt to have destroyed ths city had its ' bo ssen for mites aronnd. ' Ho never went to church, and never shotted to a neighbor. No ono knew any- thiug against him ; aa they knew nothing, they suspected a good deni I and when al last ho was found dead one morning, all the bottled-up curiosity popped out an champagne does when it is uncorked.Everybody went to see him where ho lay. Everybody attended tha in quest, and everybody went to the funeral. It was decided that he died of apo­plexy. Thore was no relative to seo him, but there would probably bo plenty left to pay for his funeral, so there was no difficulty about that. The clergyman said a doubtful sort of a good word for him, and M ho was dead, no one contradicted it. And Peggy Kinder, who said she wasn't afraid of anything, was put into tbs bouse to take care of It. Sho knew old Choker very wall, baring done washing for bim for five years.'prat night, tha weather being chilly spring weather, sho made up a good fire in tha kitchen, and slept on AU old lounge there. Once in tha night sho woko up and thought sho heard tho clamp, clump, clump of a wooden log overhead, but though sho felt a chill mu up her backbone at the thought, she made up her mind it was all nonsense, and went to sleep again. At six ahowM up and put more coal on the fire, and was filling the Fettle, when positively—an fancy about II this time—• sho did hear that clump, clump agnid across tire room up stairs, half a dozen times, then down the stairs. The sound of Choker's wooden leg, and nothing else ; and as sha turned about, snaking and tromblingi sho naw Choker himnelf at tbo door in his big-flowered dressing-gown, with the blask patch over hie eye, and lire brown wig on.' Then M Choker nodded cheerfully, and said, “Breakfast ready yet?" she grow be­ wildered,Tye been having A horrid dream, sir.1 she said,getting away from tbe figure,though ' as she spoke, ‘and it's natural as life; I dreamed you were dead, sir, but it WM BO 1 natural that yon skeer mo.' ‘ Do I ?' said old Choker. ‘Why bless 1 me, we must all die.’ ‘ Yes, sir,’ said Peggy. ' And all bo buried, too,' said Choker,• I know that,’ said Peggy. ' Only all of ns won't stay buried,' raid j Choker, putting his finger to’ his nose. 1 And at that Peggy never waited svou for 1 bar bonnet, bolted out of the honse, and came tumbling into her daughter's, half an 1 hour after, shaking with fright, and avow- ing that sho hail aeon Choker's ghost.The daughter was nearly as much fright- ' cued as the mother, and tho nows spread, but nobody believed it ' 1 At least every one said it was ridiculous, ! and that Peggy must have bees drinking. 1 She did drink more than was good for her now and then; and at last the under- • taker bimrelf, accompanied by the Coroner —tha two men nervous on the subject of ! gboets, and besides who had a thorough 1 knowledge of Choker's death and burial — 1 wont to the house together, accompanied 1 by a train of admirers, who kept at a re- spaotful distance M they knocked at tho door. 1 Thera was no answer to tire first knock, but having knocked again, clamp, clamp, camo a wooden leg across tha passage, and there in the door stood old Choker. 1 He won his old dressing-grown, he had the black patch oyer his eye, his wig set a little back on one side as usual, • Walk in, walk in. gentlemen,' he said ; *1 believe, Mr. Undertaker, I owe yon a small bill. Yuu are prompt in calling for it; but nover mind, never mind. Lot ma see the MaoUnI, and I’ll settle it j if not to* day some other day.’ The two min drew back. * I have no bill, sir,’ Mid Iha undertaker ; 'but hearing a nport that—that—' * That Peggy had seen my ghost, I mp- poea, Mid Choker.

Ah, well, don’t go; don't be in a hurry.'' It Is Choker,' said ths undertaker to the coroner; ‘yet I buried him, and ha VM a dead man then.' They humeri a way and the crowd hurried away too Thai day the grave was examined. , for a ghost.' * I think IU confids ia you, doctor,' said Choker, ' only you must promise to keep my secret while I lice. Tba night before you hold tho inquest on old Choker I camo to Grabtown. I'd been an actor onoe, than a soldier, lost a leg, aud came boms to starve or beg. The door of the lioute stood open, aud in it stood a man. I wsut up to him. ’ “ Sir,” said I, “ they oay that a fellow feeling makes ns Wondrout kind. You've got a wooden leg, and, perhaps, know it isn’t just the thing to stamp over the country al sight with.’‘ It was old Choker I spoko to, and what bo said was 2' “ I don’t nnderstaud about your poetry or scripture or whatever it is, but I do know aboat wooden legs. Come in/’‘ I went in, and ha gave mo supper and a bed io the garret. Wo both saw that we looked considerable alike, and toughed over it Thal night I slept in the garret, aud when I awoke in the morning I found my hostwM dead and the house full of neigh­ bors.• I felt that the death was sudden. It might be best for me to keep out of sight. I was as sorry for II as a stranger could be, but my being there might bo considered suspicious. I kept bidden up in tho garret, ia a groat lumber closet, aud heard poor Choker's affairs talked OVor, and learned his habits.* Some of bis clothe, ware up in the par­ rel, and an old wig; and one of the patches ba had worn over his right eye was there, too; and there was an old dressing glass in the corner. I tried on the wig and the patch, and BOW how like eld Choker they made me look, only I was not BO brown. Then 1 took some walnuts that lay on tha floor and rubbed the jaics into my skin. It increased the rosambtonce ;_«o did whiten­ ing my eyebrows with a bit of chalk. And I sal down and looked at myself, and the plan that I afterwards carried out name in­ to my head : I would play old Choker, as I knew I could.‘ I studied his voice and movements well, and as I told yon, bad once been an actor, and so I could step into a decent home end comfortable means without hurting any ono. Tho night after ho was buried I camo oul of the garret and went to the graveyard, and, not to enter into details, you’ll'flud Choker's coffin in the vault be­yond bis grave. Then I wont back usd triad the affect of my disguise on poor Peggy Kinder. It satisfied me. I haven't led a merty life, though I know it would not bo a long oue. ‘ Bat I've been vary comfortable, aud shan't die a dog's death oul of doors, as I once expected. I’ve never been afraid that Choker really would haunt me, though I’m a trifle superstitious, for I think ho couldn't find much fault with ma, as he had no rela­ tives, never made a will, aud couldn't taka either his bank book or his booso or form in tha other world with him. ’And now yon have had the story, and you're promised to keep it »«rot until the lost. You can sea now, perhaps, that Cho­ ker and I ware a good deal alike. I'm four inches taller than be was, for ono thing, ami my now is higher. But there's a good deal in make-up.1 Those were almost tha last words Cho­ ker's ghost ever spoke, for bis end was Very near—and it was not until— “ UesUi had U’ljht him momTh»D thbi UKlancbolx world doUi know," that the doctor let Grabtawn know the sequel of its ghost atory.-^LanecuUr Ez- atoiner. Lady-Adeliza went away to look for cocoanuta, and the duoheiA sat on a rock, and reflectively scratched her head. CHAPTER II. The Duke de Chimpanzee was chief of a vary largo tribo. If ho bad been iu the show busineas he would have made an everlasting fortune. Ho hsd but one daughter, the Lady Adeliza, and M she would inherit tho live stock over which he ruled, youths of tbe neighboring tribes ds- sired to marry her. Her parents, however, desired that she should bo, if possible, ths fountain of a new race, to which a'! their tradition told them tbsy wore working up. They determined that she should wed the Prince d'Ora ng-On tang. Tba duke pro- poeed the matter to the prince. “ Aw I” said tbo prince, os ho adjusted his eye-glass; “is it nice ?” ( “ She is beautiful," replied the dnfco.“Awl” said tho prince ; "give it much stamps?” " I shall give her all Ethiopia,” replied tho duke. “I will—aw—stepdown, and—aw—look al it," murmured the prirce, carelessly. “By surprise, yon know." This was agreed upon, and the duke de­parted. The priuee knew his worth. He was unite white, and was not troubled with tbe s’iqhtest particle of caudal appendage ; but Ethiopia was a big prize, aud he resolved to win it. Uno week after the duke had , offored his daughter, the prince started for Seoegarnbia with tho intention of looking at tho fair face of Adeliza. OM Trilinne!

THE LARGEST AND BEST FOB MANY A DAY. The pie-nie of the member* of Ilie R, (5. Chnroh, was held on the Agricultural Grounds, Ingersoll, on Wednesday laat, and was one of the boat affairs of the kind held in Ingersoll for many a duy. Ear’y in the morning our streets were crowded with a living, moving mnaa of people, who bad come to town to transact a little busi­ ness and then to enjoy the sports of the . afternoon on the j:lc-aic grounds. Shortly after ten o'clock the Ingersoll Band ap­ peared on the streets in the centre of the business part of the town and proceeded to the Agrioultund grounds, followed by a large throng on pleasure bent. Sinams of people, on foot and in carriages, were continually on the go io the grounds, end there must have beerf* from *2,000 to 8,000 people present. The grounds were neatly arranged, and were well provided with seats in shady places. This was an ex­ cellent feature, and served to ease the weariness of pic-niea generally when such provision is not made. The tables were spread in throe of the large agricultural buildings and the immense crowd were fed wi.b a munificence and luxury which was really astonishing. Tha friends from the Township of Dereham occupied the main building. North Oxford the root and vege­ table building, and Ingersoll supplied Che tables in the fixity building. The arrange­ ments in there different departments were most complete, and the ladies who had ihe managemuni are io be congratulated for the very excellent manner in which they performed tbrir pari. Wo have seldom seen anything like it before, and it reflects credit upon them, not only for their liberality but for the taste and tare which was bestowed upon the display. Every one won so well treated and their wants so liberally supplied that nona could come away dissatisfied. After ample justice has been done to the good things provided, and table after table bad been act and cleared off, the large com­ pany enjoyed themselves in a variety of ways. Some of Iha boys and young man played a game of base ball, others had a game of foot ball, and, then again a large parly of youag ladies and gentlemen en­ joyed themselves in dancing quadrilles, cotillions, etc., to the music of a capital string band provided for Ilia occasion. During tha afternoon two contests for popularity took place—one between Mr. E. CassweH, cheese merchant, and Dr. Hoyt, Mr. Casswell was the successful candidate, the contest between two young ladies— Miss Leonard, of Dereham, and Miss Dunn, of North Oxford—was a spirited one. A gold cross was offered for competition between little girls, and was won by Thos. Ricb-ard- soo’s daughter, Tatnamvillc. White the election was going on, fair canvassers solicited votes for the competitors and they weren't particular which side you voted on so long as you paid for yonr votes. The affair wa* eminently succoreful and we understand that over 8808 was realized for the fund for refurnishing and repairing the priest’s residence.
