White threatened to kill Clay in revenge. White made at Clay, wlien the latter fired twice, and the negro fell dead. White was regarded as a desperate and dangerous man. Mr. J. P.

It nppcara that on the evening of tho pre­ vious Wednesday Cardinal Simeoni be­ ing in conference with tho Popo, several extra candles were brought into the room. The unusual illumination, being noticed from the piazza, gave rize to the rumor that His Holiness was dead and that his bed-chamber hud been turned into a dutpelU ardent*. The rumor spread rapidly and many circumstantial details jverc soon added by the news-mongers. S P E C I A L T T O T T C E . THE NOTED SOUTH & WEST OXFORD Agricultural Society. P R I Z E M S T . The fallowing is ajj»t of the successful competitors to whom prizes were awarded at the show of the North and Weal Oxford Agricultural Society, held at Ingersoll, on (be 20th and 21st nil: Class I.—Horses, Heavy Draft.

MACKENZIE, the Premier, has been ta the east, and tried to stir up a feeling in the hearts of the eleclora iu favor of himself and his government, but lie most signally failed in his efiurt Latterly, he has been west with the same object in view. The dcinoiLstnitioa in this county on lite psesago through it on his way to Norfolk and Elgin with his fol­ lowers, was, to say the best of ^1 reta­ in” iu tho extrema; and, had it not been for the fact that a semblance of enthu­ siasm, after groat effort, was stirred up at Simcoe and Aylmer—two of tba Grit­ tiest towns iu the Province of Ontario— it would scarcely have b«en known that such a great luminary had condesoeuded to visit this happy quarter, with his ac­ companying satellites. Mr. Mackenzie was taken sick at London, and could not accompany Mr. Blake, that pure and brilliant star, ou his visit north to his constituents. Sir. Blake's experience was not at all encouraging either, ou his pilgrimage, and he has returned sick. ' too. No wonder. The depressing effect which the cool icccptions these gentlemen received was anything but exhilarating, and no other wquel could have l»eon ex­ pected. Mr. Mackenzie visited the Pro­ vincial Exhibition at London,chaperoned by that elegant example of Reform purity, Maj. Walker, the disqualified; aud, while on the ground, Im was taken no mure notice of than if he had been' the most ordinary individiiah Instead of being received with buxsw and cheers, as one would have expected, the crowd stood back and allowed his carriage to pass as if glad ta be rid of the presence of the mui. On passing out of the grounds tho gate-keeper touched Lis hat, and this was the only mark of respect which we MW bestowed toward liim ; but whether it was to him or to tho very elegant team which drew the carriage, it was hmd to tell. Verily tha lima is drawing near when these men will have to give place to a more capaplcnmd popular : Ministry. That such is the case, and they know it, is seen in every action, but they will very probably hang on as long as jKMsibla to the offices which they hold for the saka of the salaries which arc at­ tached to them.

The London House which hat . been established in Ingersoll, now some three years, has enjoyed a large amount of business which has been on the increase from year to year since it first started. J. J. Stewart is the proprietor, and by a thorough knowledge of the require­ ments of the people of this section of the country in his line of trade, by fair dealing—giving good and full value for the money he receives and by a close application to his duties, he has been enable to build up a popular and substantial busi­ ness. His premises are large, commodious and centrally situated on the east side of Thames Street in the very heart of the commercial centre of the town. He conducts h’s business with the utmost economy compatable with the cctual requirements of his custom­ ers, and bein'; under small expense and buying his goods in the largest market at advantageous terms, he is enabled to deal liberally with his patrons. This, together with the fact that he is one of the most • obliging, urbane and accommodat­ ing of merchants goes a Jong way in enabling him to retain his cus­ tomers after having once dealt with him. He always keeps on hand a* large and fashionable stock of stylish and substantial goods which, at the present time, are piled from floor to ceiling in his very commod­ ious premises, on counters and shelves, and may be enumerated under the following heads : READ7-MADI CL0THIN8. In this department will be found suits of clothes for men, youths and boys of every conceivable cut* size and shape made up from cloths of the finest texture to the coarsest homespun. Suits to fit the slim and tall, suits to fit the portly and short, suits to fit the young and old, suits to please the most fasti­ dious and exquisite, and suits of sobriety and taste for the cultivated and refined, giving an air of respec­ tability and intelligence to any who may desire to assume such an ap­ pearance, whether they possess the necessary qualifications or not. Suits for church, for pleasure, or for the roughest kind of work. And at this se«ason of the year may be found suits in which the wearer may defy the drenching rain or the cold, keen, penetrating blasts of our severest winter weather. Mr. S. with his characteristic shrewdness, was not long in business when he found out where to buy his cloth­ ing to advantage—a large portion are manufactured by Messrs. San­ ford, Vail & Bickley, whose busi­ ness extends to the four quarters of the globe, this in itself is a suffici­ ent guarantee that the clothing he sells is equal to any ordered work and arc from $5 to §io cheaper a suit. SHIRTS AHO UNDERClOTHINa . In this department such a great variety may be found that it would be impossible to do it adequate justice in an ordinary description such as this. Fine dress shirts every cut and pattern, and cut with such precision that the old adage, "A fit like a shirt,” is the belt and most forcible recommendation we can give them. As a proof of this, we may add, these-fine shirts are purchased from the famed house of Messrs. Skelton, Took & Co., Montreal, and the only shirts in the world which gained the two gold medals and diploma at the great American Centennial of 1876, and can only be obtained at the London House. Coarse shirts such aa woollen, wincies, and other fabrics in endless variety, under shirts, drawers, socks, suspenders. &c.,— ■make up one cd the largest and most complete stocks we have ever seen.

A inrtner'e pasture field should receive his best attention and all weeds that stock do not like shoeld be cut off at least twice dining the summer, which would tend to keep them in check it ii did not kill them entirely ent. Besides, tho weeds when cqt down, will do considerable to -enrich the sail- 1 once saw a very largo crop of thistles cut from a pices in August Which bad nearly ran everything etas out, but ns they did not start ngaia in Septem- - bar a liberal quantity of timothy seed was I awn which the next snmmor made the most luxuriant pasture. At one cutting all ths thistles had boon completely killed. But this can seldom bo done, yet tho beet Way Is to diriota a little time each season to keeping all fonl woods down which can be very easily done if attended to at the right time, more especially where tho farmers do not allow the pasture to lay more than two yearn before it is plowed Up. For some cultivated crops that ia tho practice that is adopted with nil tillable land. Bat where no care is taken to look after the weeds aven In this short lime they ■will got such a start that it will take tho roost careful farmer a long time to eradi­ cate them from a soil where they have oace obtained a sure foot-hold. Tho farm ers pastures are a greater source of inccme than most of them aro . nwano of. A full half of the year his pasture furnishes a full supply of feed for *cows, and two mouths longer they get half of their Jiving from tbo same source, and his sheep and young stock often ob­ tain their living for eight months of the year. Thore is scarcely a farmer who nvor lows any plaster or fertilizer on their ^jstnro as they da on the land they intend to mow, and yet thej Mien expect the pulurn to keep their etock twice as long M the liny- from their meadows will, although the latter has had much th* best care. The meadow ie often the field from Whlah a crop of wheat has been taken the year before, which was well covered over with mAmuv;wh|d4h<»iQi4te was lawn. Tho pMtaros that sheep or fattening slock aro kept on all the time will, if they have the proper care, he growing better all the while, as it ia only n email portion of what the stock eats that is removed from the pasture. Moil of it ii left in the droppings which, when properly scattered over the ground, evenly, will mako such pasture fields grow better continually There is no stock that will enrich land ae fast os sheep, as every good farmer knows who hat ever tried it. Ha can raiso most any kind of a crop from an old sheep being in good hands, and d-isirous to do a good day’s work for tho faan who is foil and liberal with them. Stingy men invariably defeat their own ends, and those who are led by such examples,will forever r^vet allowing themselves to be influenced as to act in Buch an illiberal mannenDepend upon it, that mankind, how­ ever ignorant, ora able to seo th rough any man’s objects in mystery, deception, etc., and therefore it is nonsense and weakness to act otherwise than in a perfectly natural way, and BO openly and honestly that there can bo no suspicion of^’our wishing to toko an unfair advan­ tage. There are few people in business circles who do not know that men who aro always searching ont for cheap bar­ gains are sure to get awfully bitten often enough to more than counterbalance the petty gains they may have secured from other low-priced purchases. And so it is with labor. It is far better to give a good price and secure the best. eeription hss been advocated by physicians for years. I only want to again draw attention to the virtues of the sitn-baih. The usual remedy for a baek-aehe i# " lying down;" now, this process consumes an hour or more of time, the desired result is not always obtained, and at best the re­ lief is only temporary; while a fifteen ininufo silz-bath wilt rest a tired back, and if the baths are persisted in they will event­ ually effect a cure. This is a good deal to claim, but my ex­ perience justifies ma in putting the case strongly, and those who have already tried, or those who may bo induced to try these baths will, I have no doubt, corroborate what I have said as to their efficacy. Now, ns to how Ibo bath shall bo taken : The water should Lo pleasantly coo],—not la cold as to be painful—and I would rec­ ommend tho addition of common salt, in the proportion of a cupful of salt to a pail of water. There should bo water enough in tho hath to cover the hips. In tho larger towns and cities zine tuba designed espe* c’ally for sitz batlia are sold. They aro shallow in front, with high backs and arm- rcsts on tho sides ; They oro both comfort­ able and oonvonieat, but any woman of ingoouiiy can improvise o sitz-bath, only it should bo borne in mind that the bath must bo sufficiently largo to hold enough water to cover the loins. The bath .should be of ton minutes dura­ tion and should be taken twice a day ; to be fifllowed by a brisk rubbing with a tw is t towel. I would also recommend ao AI additional means of strengthening the mascloa of tho back and of tho abdomen, punting those parte lightly with tincture of “idodine” three times a day.

Thu occai- iaaaJly may be the case-where they are starved to it, but not ollmrmige, as they are not any greater eaters than nqy other stock. But sheep are often kept where any- thing else could n^ be kept; in fact some ihlffltM farmers keep them to tarn after their cows, to eat up tho weeds that tho latter have left.

I have a milk-house cooled with air which I think is cheajier than J. B. F.’fl, besides having the room por- fect'y dry, aweet and cool, without the use of water or ice. Sly milk house is under the upright of my house. The milk-house is made perfectly air-tight, w.th the exception of tbo entrance of the duct, and the pipe where the air escapes. -The circulation is created by a heated chimney. The air that comes into the milk-hc use comes 440 feet, 7 J feet under ground, which makes it the same tem­ perature ns the giound is at that depth. The duct through which the air passes is constructed of flagstones placed in the shape of an inverted V , and the earth placed back on them. This leaves the earth at the bottom of tho duct, and the earth is supposed to bo a great puri­ fier, so that nothing but pure air comes into the milk-house. The air comes into the milk-house fust enough to change it about every 15 minutes, so tint it doos not get damp and stagnant. The thermometer stood at 65 degrees through the month of July, no wutar or ice lin­ ing used ; milk kept sweet 36 hours. Thunder showers have no effect on milk, house.

I am therefore led to adopt a plan of my own. Once a week I put some soft soap and flour of sulphur into four gallons of soip-Buda, mixing all well together. The next process is to turn the plants heels upward and imtnerae their heads in the soapy solution ; but before doing this I prepare a circular pi*ee of stiff card with a hole half an inch in diameter, and a slit reaching from the centre openings to the circumference of the cud. This is then stretched so a* to allow if is stem of the plant to lie aur- roundt^, and by pressing the fingers of tbc left hand thinly against it and to the ritn of the pot when plant in turned upside down, no nil ean (fall into the mixture. By gently moving the head of the plant backward and forward in the solution, the leaves become cleansed of insects, and as a kind of soapy gloss clings to the leave* after they are dry, insects do not quickly infeat them again.—Tke Garden. fitUtf For Weik Ba* to.

Her mother, a w*ak woman, had indulged her to tit* extent of her power; but that 1 power was limited. Mr. Vintou, from 1 whom ths daughter Inherited her pride and 1 willfolaotn, WM absolute master in his own 1 houso, and to aeanro domestic harmony, 1 perfect subservience to hia will was ne- cemary. Bis wife had learned to accom- : niieh her ends by cunning and double deal­ing ; and frequefitly. when the worthy bus- band thought his hand was guiding affaire, tho wife would take advantage of an under current, and bring things about exactly as she wished. Bnt it waa only in email mat- tars that thia wae ventured upon. Mrs. Vinton's mind WM a small one, and in small irimoplis her eoul delighted. Her daughter, with more intelteet than horsolf, a stronger will and more irritable temper, was moat successful in working with the aam. weanons on both parents, and thus insured toSienielf a liberty, quite surprising for tho daughter of the stem uncomprwug Mr. Venton. Neverthol.se, Madeline stood in awe of her father. She knew he loved her; bxft at tbo aamo limo she knew also Ibas oct ono cherished notion would be flacrificed to her happiness.Ho WM proud of her beauty, of h*r tai- ente. of the admiration she excited, aud not among the least, was the prospect of th* fortune sho would bring to his desoou- dauU.

But no ampunt of persuasion could in- dnee Madeline to yield to suolr a measure. SLe knew hsr father had Mt his heart upon a wealthier suitor ; she know, too, that iu this her mother sympathize I with him,and if she bad not, sho would not have dared to opp<>B0 his will.We cun scarcely imagine to what Made­ line looked forward M tbo termination to her engagement. She had a vague idea that in earna way she could g.’t around tho father, but just how she had never thought. Then there was something so delightful in carrying on a secret affair; indeed, clan­ destine marriage would nol in any degree bare disturbed her ideas of filial duty, and I' r • But baaan. nid Iio wilH''iDenrwDflt fs to be done?

She also loved dearly to fe«l her power. To see a strong rnau restive under the galling chain forged by her own will was a real satisfaction. The thought of a possibility that ha might not yield implicit obedience did Dot for a second darken her mind ; therefor* she did not regret their altercation in the least, and confident that the next day would bring him penitent to her fest, she gave bor»*lf up to h6r usual ocenpationa and pleasures.When two daye hnd passed, and William camo not, Madeline began to ba a little un­easy. On tho third day h* pMBod her in Ilia street will) a dietiut bow ; Luth* look­ ed wretchedly, and this gave the proud woman so little satisfaction. Still confi­ dent in the power of her charms, sho hnd no fear of losing him ; but that SUE should yield, or make tho>!ightest effor; toward n reconciliation, Tyas nol thought of. It was HUI bnsineu to eno for pardon, and Made­line had in lierown mind detertnined upon the time anti place for her triumph. There was to be a largo party in a day or two at th* house of one of Montclair's most inf mate friends. At this place be tens anre to be, and Madeline, who really lonzed for a renewal of Ihaii intercourse, looked forward to tho titno with the great­est impatience. Before tim* for commencing h*r toilette, el.o throw herself on the sofa tn her room and indulged in bright dreams of future blifin. She thought of William,—of tho deep and ardent passion eh* hnd inspired in him, of tho noble and generous nature which must make happiness to all connect­ ed with him, of his talo its aud acquire­ments, which muai work their way to inde­ pendence, if not to wea'th. And with a sigh over bi* present poverty, and another over his strong self-will, she leaped over tho difficulties in her pnlh and aaw herself the presiding genius in his home ; tho wife that shared bis inmoat thotigbls and feel- ins*, bis comforter in tho hour of sorrow, and li’s sympathizing friend in that of joy, —until tears of happiness bedewed her cheeks, and rite felt then that she could racrifiee anything for his sake.Just then the maid entered in bri'atbleu delight, ' Oh, Mis* Mad aline! 8ueh a magnificent bouquet I The most baanlifol this Maaan.’ And she handed the costly offering to her mislrcia. . Madeline viewed it In mute admiration, satisfied, with thia indication of Mootolalr'a anxi*t| to {tone, for th* pffeni* be bad given her, snd wa* indulging some very tender tboughta of the &or, when th* maid suddenly reentered, bearing the curd which had fallen on the •tain. 8I10 placed it iu Mad«lin«'( bund, who read,1 For Mies Vinton, with compliment* of Mr., Gold- imith.' •*' The revulsion of feeling was too great for Madeliuc’a temper.

And William was left alone—alone with , bis breaking heart—the fine fabric of hie , once imagined bappinee* torn in abrade at . hie featCould tbi* indeed be true? He bad looked uoou her as bis plighted wife. He recalled the vowe which were still his, and to which, though fur a time estranged, ho had never dreamed of withdrawing Lie allegiance. Could Abe thus give him up. without by a single look endeavoring to recall him ?His first impulse WM to nub to her, to reproach her with her cruelty, her treachery, and to let her witness the ageny she had caused. But his pride, which she had so wounded at their last interview, and which had determined him on the course he was puESuiug, prevented. Then came tho humiliating question—- had she ever really loved him ? Had be not from th* first boen a victim of her coquetry ? Had she not from the first been sporting with bis affections, and lead­ ing him to pour out upon her Ilie deepest and best feelings of his heart, only for the pleasure of breaking it at last? Had be noy cause to hope for anything more noble or generous, after what be had discovered of her total waul ef good principle during their last interview? Maddening and pain­ ful as was the disappointment, still in thia he found consolation; the world knew not of bis former happiness or of his present misery, and when in a fow days be reap- pearod among his friend*, there were no traces of the painfal con flic t evidoat, ex­ cept it might be his face was a shade Sialer. Time Madeline was disappointed ii one fondly anticipated triumph; but al­ though she aaw him unsubdued, she know he suffered, and this consciousness greatly aide! her still to act her part with spirit. Her acceptance of Mr. Goldsmith was when her nnger with Montclair was at its height; her only thought was tho blow it would inflict upon him. But the delight with which Mr. Goldsmith received her as- sent, the joy of her paronls at the match, and the splendid establishment this mar­ riage would secure, was not without effect on her. As Mr. Goldsmith had remarkably soft and insinuating manners, and was really much in love with her. she hoped to ba able to govern him completely; she, there­ fore, tried to forget that be was neither young, handsome, nor interesting; and : pleaied by his constant flattery and perfect tubmiuion to al! her caprices, and kept in cogslant excitement by the rapid prepara­ tions malting for her marriage, she really believed her love for William WM complete- , ly annihilated by hi» own misconduct. Bnt Madeline hnd ruixnlonlatcd. Tho wedding gaystie* were hardly over before J she began to discover that the qnlet, i obsequious Mr. Goldsmith was not qnite 1 tho submissive and obedient husband she i had expected him to be. It is true be ; never tired of admiring his youthful bride; J bnt he showed a strong disposition to i monopHzo her society bimrelf.

And, as from the first, sho showed > that his wishes did not influence her con- J duct her in the least, he soon found ways j and means to rednee her to obedianoe.

I have promised to call for Edna and Lucy Arnold, and therefore I mutt go,' and with a smile of triumph left the room. 'Tsll Jones to have the carriage at th* deor by aine,' she raid to a servant pauing through the hall, and then ran up stairs.When her toilette was completed, she again descended to the parlor, where her husband sal quietly reading Hie evening paper, and as bo showed no sigua of di*- plMAHte in hi* face, she concluded he hud yielded, end therefore addresrad him os if nothing had happened. • And you think I look well to-night ? ’ she said, a* be assisted to clasp a bracelet on h*r arm. • Charmingly, my love,' h* replied, • I in muob gretiflad by your appearance.
