There WM a Scratchell pew fa one of the aisles, but Beatrix liked to have her friend with her, and tbe Water House pow wus fa the more aristocratic and fashion- aide situation, advantages peculiarly agree­able to Isabella Scratchel!. Mr. Harefield assisted at the Sunday morning service half a dozen times or so iu a quarter, just often enough to escape the stigma of uhsofale indifference or infidelity. His handsome Italian wife had been a Roman Catholic, and ttaro was a feeling among the mors bigoted section of society in Little Yafford that Mr. Harefield waa generally lax in bis ideas, like the Romans when they began to import foreign gods, and would no', have minded worshipping Isis or Osiris if those deiiies bad como in his wsy. ‘ Ils has travelled so much, you know, my dear,' said Mr*. Piper, of the Park, to Mrs. Dulcimer, ‘and * having married a foreigner, you sec, one can hardly expect him to ba quite correct iu his ideas. A sad education for that poor girl.

IN THE rsEisit enusen. Tho Sunday evening servie# at Littls Yafford paribli church was as fashionable in its own particular way ns the Italian Opera in Juno. Every body met every body else there. The psalms were chant­ ed very fai>ly, the autheiu was always a feature, the prettiest byinos were sung, and tbo sei mon, whether preached by th# vicar or curtle, seemed to have a peculiar life and fevor in it that hanunnizvd with me more exalted feelings of the flock. Tho cold rcali 'tn of Sunday tuoruing gave place on Sunday evening to a vague enthu­ siasm, a spiritualized ardor. Of course there were people for whom flint lofty Liturgy soared too high— uncultured souls which demanded to bo fed on coarser diet —but these were outside tbo pale, aud gen­erally wore a style of bonnet which Would have been a blot ou the suhdned beauty of tho parish church, with its noble nave, long narrow aisles, carved rood-screen, and wagon-roof. These barbarians worshipped in a queer lilUo chspal iu High Street, to which they descended a step or two from the bevel of the pavement, and iu which I gas-lit tabernacle they might bo heard sing- grew np with the idea that poverty was life’s chief e vil. J mu M the btoica believed virtu* to be the only good, th* young Soratchells believed waul of money the only ill. ‘ Ah, my dears, a fat sorrow la tatter than a lean sorrow,' Mnt. Scratchel remark­ed, plaintively, when sho heard of the af­ flictions of her wealthier neiehbora.She conld not bring herself even to pity her husband's patron, Mr, Harcfield. who was supposed to have been more or loss heart-broksn by tho untimely death of his handsome wife. It soemed to her impos­ sible that so rich n mnn, snrruundcJ witS all the good things of this fife, could be an object for compassion. This close ncquoiutence witli Necessity hod not endeared that eteru goddess's countenance to Isabella. She had an in­ nate hankering after the good thioga of this life, and to her mind Beatrix Harefield— whose solitary existence was for most people, a subject of pity—was a person to ba envied. Had she not a fina old house to live in, every room in which was like a picture, horses and carriages al her disposal, servants to wait upon her, and an unlimited supply of pocket-money? It was a dull life, of course, but Mr. Harefield would Jie before very tong, no donbt. and fake bis gloominess to a more appropriate habita­ tion, and then Beatrix would be the richest woman in the neighborhood, fro* to drain the cup of pleasure to the lees. Tan years ago, when Beatrix was n tall, thin-legged child in a short black frock, re­ covering slowly from a severe attack of whooping-cough, the family doctor ventur­ed to call attention to th* exceeding solifari peas of her life, and to suggest that some juvenile companionship should bo procur­ed for her. It was less tbim a year after Mrs. Harefield'a death, and tile roaster of th* Water House wor» an air of settled ^losiit which mado him in the minds of bis fetluw-nius, somewhat unapproachable. Ilie doefor mnde bis suggestion timidly. Ho was Ou’” Ih* family practitioner of Little YafforJ, a?'! was much bumbler in hi* manners ana preit’itions than the bakers and butchers of tLataeirtcinont, who knew that people must to"" b ^ad and moat always, while epidemics, accident’, and chronic diseases were subject to periods of dullness sorely depreaaiog ta t'je tiicuhy. If ho had been Dr. Fawetia, ths consulting physician of Great Yafford, ho would havo ordered playfellows for Miss Harefield with as off-hand an air as he ordered boiled ciiickon and bnrtay-waicr. But Mr. Nambymado the suggestion tenta­ tively. quite prepared to withdraw it if it were ill received. ‘Tho child seems dull, certainly,' said Mr. Harefield. 'She doesn't run, nr skip, nr scream, like the general run ot children. I bare thought it an advantage ; but I sup­ pose, aa you say, it is a sign of feebleness of constitution.'• I think that any thing which would en­ liven her spirits might conduce to her re­ covery,' replied -the doctor. ‘She doesn't gaiu strength as fast as I should wish.' 'Really,' said Mr. Harefield, with a far- look, aa if he were talking of somebody nt the antipodes. ‘Well, if you think it wise, we must get her & playfellow. I have re­ ceived no one, as yon know, since my wife's death. In my best days I always eonsid- ered rocicty mere or lew a bore and I could n't-end ure to have people about nie now. But wo mtiet gel a playfellow for the child. Have you a girl that would Hnrefi.Jd had an extraordinary gift, you know.' ‘ I never saw Mrs. HurrSJd. Sho died before John took the Park.' ‘ Yea, of course. I ought to bav* ro- mitubered. bbo «na a lovely women, and I indieve that Christian Hartfield waa passionately fond of her, in his way ; but it w as not a happy marriage—there were quarrels. I did my best—but act success­ fully. There is an unconquerable aoverity and coldueaaiu that nmu s nature, and his wife had one of those ardent, impetuous dispositions ; you know what I raeau.' • Exactly,' chimarl in tbo visitor, whose mind had wandired a little, and who was woutkring when the Dulcimers would have a new drawing-room carpet The present one waa threadbare, and had been ingen- itrnslj' turned and pieced like a puzzle, odd bits of brighter color fitting in here and there rather too obviously. That foolish Mr. Dulcimer spent all his money on books, and never improved his furuilnro, while in Mrs. Piper's idea! house there was no litter of books and pamphlets, but the last fashion in carpets and tapestry table, covers, cabriole chairs and solas, and the uewest kinds of an Li macassars. Although Mr. Harefield was not often to bo seen in the parish churoh himself, ho 'had no objection to bis daughter's frequent attendance there ; and tbo church and the Vicarage afforded the only variety in tho dullest lifo that a well-born heiress ever led. Tho music was a delight to her •enei- tivc.car, for the organist was a fine musi­ cian, and the organ woe a n >ble in»trn- mont, which hud been presented to Little Y’afford, in the reign of William the Third, by a city merchant who bad been bom in the village, aud cmne back there to die after having made bis fortune in Irides and tallow. His in.>uumoni, in colored ■nd gilded marbles, after the florid style of the period, nd~ru*d the chancel, and re­ corded his public aud private virtue# and iris munificent gift of the organ in a long Latiu epitaph, with u great many words to ling in iesitnut. Tho Scralcbellir had a comfortable old bonso iu the village, but Miss Harefield was not allowed to visit Ibero, although Isabella waa her only friend and com- i -------- •- -------—------panion. Isabella might como to the Water | matter that oveuing, Gbrisliau Harefield House as often as sbo liked, but it was an added this postscript Harefield 'a buriness—the collection of rente, and drawing up of leares, and ejection of trouhtaioma tenants,and so on—the taratch- ella could hardly have gon^u existing out- eida the work-houae, tbo utaitor's practice, over and above this tgifocy, being of the pettiest and most desultory order. Bella'# pretty little Dresfeg china free WM bent over her booiore th# chair and clergy came filing in. Neither ritualism nor good manners prevailed in - Little Yftf- ford church to tho extent of indneing the congregation io stand up at this Juncture. The flock eat stolidly staring nt their pos- toru, and waited for the service to begin. But though Belin's head was gracefully taut, she gave a lilt!# upward glance under her auburn eyelashes, aud contrived to see that look in Beatrix's face which WM in itself the tacrooing .of a history. And then the service began, and both girls seemed absorbed in their devotions, while Airs. Dulcimer, contemplating them be­nign an tly from the Vicarage pew, thought what n pretty pair they made, and won­ dered whom she conld pitch upon as a Lnsband for Bello. The poor little thing ought to ta married. She was not a great heiress, like Beatrix, but It w»w not the Jew iucumtant upon some good-natured friend to find her a hnaband 1 nay, it was n Christian duty to do BO. Matrimony would be the poor child's only escape from strait­ ened circumstances and a life of toil. Every body knew what a struggle those poor Scrntcbell's bod to make for the bar* privilege of living. ' She’# rather pretty, and certainly grace- fn],’ mused Mre. Dulcimer, while one of the wicked Kings of Israel wna misoon- ducting bitnreIf, « Even ■ clergyman’s wife’s mind will o#. casionally wander, though her husband tuay ta reading tbo lesson- "'I wish I .could think of some oue to sail her,' tabi Mrs. Dukimorto herself. ,And then it chanasd that her glance rosined »taently to the reading-drek, where Cyril’* crisp i-rown hair and strong­ ly marked brow showed above tho open prayer-book. • The very man !’ Mrs. Dulcimer ejaen- fated, inwardly, iu an ecstacy of good nature. ' ' ll l« so deliglttfo! to fe<-l one’s sell tho providence of one’s neighbor. Poor Mr*. Dulcimer’* mind waa .listrncted for tbs rest of the service. This no'jon about Cyril WM one of llb'se splendid ideas which take hold of a matron with ovor-masteriug puwer. like a brilliant scheme for tnrniug a silk dress, or making up last year’s ex­ploded bonnet info th# fateal fash ion able shape far thia year. Vainly did 4he busy soul try to pin her wind to f be prayer-book. Sha could not get her tbonght* away from tbo Kiiiiabilitv of a match between Cyril and Bella. There WM a remarkable fitness about it. Neithei of them bad any money of their own. That made it so nice. They couldn't fee! under any obligation to each other. Cyril would, of coarse, get OQjrell in the church. People always did-who were as eament and well-ooDureted as Cyril Culver-house. And then what an admirable wife Bella would make for * poor man—a girl who had been brought up to pinch and contrive and deny herself and make six-pence do the work of a shilling I It never occurred to Mrs. Dulcimer that Th* surgeon blushed. What an opening it might hnve been fur his daughter, bad she bseo old enough. Unhappily she was still in her cradle. Iio explained this to Mr. Hartfield. ' My agent, Scratcbdl, has a little girl, I believe.' ' He lias several.’ * One is quite enough,’ said Mr. Hnrc- ficld.

It was a pretty scene, that parish church of Little YuffarJ, iu the late October even­ ing. The cluster* of wax caudles in the brazen brandies threw just enough on column and arch to have the greater part of tho building iu shadow. Th* rich color­ing about the altar made a glow of splendor at the.aud of the gray stone chancel. Tbs old oak pews, with their quaintly carved door, reflected the light redly on the bosses that took every shape, from tha graceful flenr-do-lw to the dog-(need demon or bliioLuored cherub. The front in its dis­ tant corner gleamed whitely below a eaver ut crimson cloth. Ctitnsuu euuhioua ju many of the pews, and the dark green and gold addrumebt of pulpit and reading-desk, tha old brass lectern, tbs new Lnue cando- fabra, brightened Um eombre ^toue and dark brown oak, and mad# up in aomewisa for the lore ot tha stained glories of tho chaocoi window, dull and dead at tbia hottft.The p«opl* came in quietly by two# and tbroceand took their place# with the usual bushad aud reletnn air; then tha throng thickened, and the p*wa began to fill; and than the tails rang more slowly, aud there earn# a pTMnlive strain of melody from the organ, reft and aubdned as a whisper. Thia swelled presently into a voluntary, faintly suggestive of Handel, and became a triampbnrt burst when th* vestry door opened and th* eurplieed cbair entered the etumeel, two and two, th* small boy# firat and tho rather duaiay-looking men bring­ ing np Uie rear. After ttaae f.dlowed Cyril CulverhgnM, lo -kiug tall in hi* white raiment and crimaon hood, and. lastly the . vicar, a brood and dignified figure that understood tiling that Beatrix wan not to go to Mr. ScratcneB’s. a distinction which I Mrs. Scratch*!! aud Isabella**} brothers re- 1 sen led as invidious. * We are pot good • enough fur the heiress,' said ClemtuUaa Scratclioll, sar­castically. ' Shv'a tho slnckuppost, pnrse-proudest young woman 1 ever saw,’ eaid Bertie, the eldest sou, a sandy-oonjpbixioni'd, png- nosed youth, who had been christened Herbert, but who bad mors toe uir of a Samuel or a Thomas. Such remarks os these, if overheard, always brought down the paternal wrath upon the ultorer. Even Mrs. Seralcbell would remark mildly that poor people must not quarrel with their bread and butter, and that MY. Harefield was a very good client to Inthcr. and Ihat it was very kind of Miss Harefield to ba so food of Bella, although she did look down upon Iba others, which might bo a little wounding to one's feelings, but poor people must not be proud. This fact of !lmr poverty hml always been kept before the ey<* of the young Sfora toll ell’s. It encountered them al every turn. If 11m hoys fore tho knoee of their trousers in forbidden climbing of trees, they we^c reminded mournfully by * desponding mother |ii*t Aboir parents were hard-working people, and that these destructive habile were -a direct wrong to those toll-worn bread-winner*. • It isn't as if your father began life with a fortune, Bertie,' Mrs. Bcratehell wou’d say. * He has to work for every sixper^e, and you ousbt to bare thought of that before you el imbed toe mnlberry-tr**.' It was in all tilings alike. The Scratch- ell's were never permitted to make any mistake as to their place in th* social seal*. Il w« to bo a eubordinat* pW always. Thiry were to work for their bread, as their father bad done before Ilium, as their mother worked daily, from sunrise to sunset, in homely drudgery that made no effect or impression upon th* world, and left nolbing behind when life was done—not so much as an embroidered । chair corer, or a f'jjn volume of ridilferent to play witli Beatrix.’ Writing t* his agent on some business ' matter that ' ' " ” ” '' I added Ibis tx * Oblige me by sending tins quietest of your girts to play with my daughter every afternoon at three.' Tho request waa somewhat curtly put, but the Seratchella saw in it the opening of a shining path that led to the tt-mpla of fortune. From that honr Isabella waa ex­alted above all her sistora and brothers, 8ho was like Joseph with his coat at many colors. All the other sheaves bowed down to her sheaf. She had tatter raiment Ilian tho others, that sho might ba present­ able at the Water House. She never had her boots mended more than once.

Th* origin of the Home is dve to Gea. Scott, and date* back to his exptarc of tho city of Mexico with onr troops, when, in­ stead of sacking the town, he levied un it tho ram sf *300,000. It WM a pet scheme of Soott’a to found a homo for old and disabled soHiera, aud thus render them independent, and he doubtless had this in bis mind long before be made known his plans and wishes. A part of tho $300,000 was immediately ured to relieve tho wants of the soldiers, a part for establishing a eeoret service fund, and the remainder, kdmething over 8100,000, was tamed lute the United States Treasury'- Iu 1837 tho veteran general succeeded in getting Congress te-pass an Act establishing a “ Military Asylum," and authorizing him to draw the money from the Treasury for the purpose. The Xamo Act provided that every soldier in the army shall coutribnte 25 cents a month, and that all forfeitures by court mar­tinis and money duedead soldiers should be placed to tho credit ol tbs Asylum. Any soldier who has served 20 yean can become an inmate, and disabled ones, who have served lets time, are entitled to the benefits of the Home. The asme, " Military Asylum," was not liked by the »oldiero,' who called it •• Gray Foorhouse," and in 1859 Congress changed it to •• Soldier’* If urao," reduced the 28 cent tax on arwv *oldiers to J2J ccnta, and made soldier* of the war ol 1812 eligible to admittance.

There was a very fair representation ot delegates present from all parts of the Biding, and alt spoke In ths most enthusiastic tortns of the gaining strength of the party through- < nt the Biding. The chair was occupied by Dr. Sinclair, of Titsouburg, President. After a short disouselon of preliminaries the following gentlemen were elected dele­ gates i? attend the general Conservative Convention to be held at Toronto ou the 14th, 15th aud 16th inst., aamsly :—Dr. Sinclair, President. Thus. 'Wells, Score- lory; Joseph Gibson, Beni. Hopkins, G, Kenneily, J, 8. Henderson, Cspt. Cham­ bers, Tiles. Choate, M. 8. Smith, H. Bow- land, W. Sndworlh and E. Doty. After the election of the above gentlemen, it was decided to bold the annual meeting at Mount El^n on Wednesday, the 13lb of February, and as it is expected to be a very important meeting, there being a good dt ri ot business In prospect; the meeting wil! begin at 10 o'clock a. tn. The great­ est harmony and confidence was fennd to exist in the party, and we look forward to glorious things in the future as Ihe result of thia state of feeling. Tho old Riggs Mansion, the only building included in the primary purchase, has always been set apart for the use of tho President during the summer season. Buchanan lived there in the hot weather during his term of office. Lincoln followed his example, aud President Hayes has made it his home during tho past summer In so short s sketch I ran •a no way do justice to Vue bran ties of this levely place. More than twelve miles of carriage driving is inclosed within its boun­daries, all smooth and well kept, winding through hill and .dale, over rustic bridges, through drcuitou* lanes, by springs and arbore, iu shade and sunshine. There are ponds »ud fountains, «wan, fawn and nnm- acre ot ■' birds, bee* aud blossom*—all beau­tiful things who** presence rejoiceth the earth.” Groves of forest trees seem as natural as if they were God’* first temple" instead of having been trans­ planted and so «arefuliy nurtured by the hands of man. The trunks of many of tbe older tree* are entirely covered with tho glassy leaves of the English ivy, and iu one of tho densest portinn* of an oak and evergreen grove there u a circular opening among the branches just large enough to show a fine view of th* Capitol's glistening dome, more than two mites away. This is “ Capitol Vista" ani isaconatant surprise to those who come upon it in their walks or drives through the grounds. There is a little chapel, also, where Roman Catholic services are held one part of each Sunday and Protestant the other. There are generally M mnay as five hundred Mldiera^t tbe Home, many of whom are total wrecks, physically, bat these have tho best of care at the fine large hospital which is one of the best in the country and is fitted up with all the scientific improvements. The soldiers are not compelled to work at all, but th»re who choose to occupy themselves somewhat, light chore* are assigned, sweeping the walk*, keeping the flower plants, Ac. They each draw a small amount of money each month from tbe “Hom*" fund for pocket money. They w*ar a uniform a plain light blue with rcldier caps. These peer old veterans are by no msati* infallible, but they are not dtachanj- ed from th* Home for their failings and mis- demranors —only eared for th* more kindiv. If one come* into tbe city and geta drunk, (which is not an unheard of thing), his com­rade* always look him up and take him safely back to the sheltering arms of the "Homo." .The National Military Cemetery contains 5,424 graves, adjoin* the Home grounds, where decoration /lay is annually *b*crved by the brotherhood of comrade*. A targe statue of Gen. Scott occupies a central and promin­ent spot Milk is supplied from oowsof im­ported stock and are kept on the place. RICHARD, A special meeting ef the County Council of Oxf rd was InaLl in the Council Cham­ ber, Wnlnesday last, to receives report from lbs County Solicitor of the decision ot the Court of Toronto In re the appeal from the judgment of Justice Wileou npou the Equalitation question. The Warden and nil the members were present After roading the minutes of last session, the clerk read a number of communications, which were laid over for the consideration of the now Council. Several accounts presented were referred to the Finance Commiltee for their report thereon. THE EQUALIZATION QUESTION. Mr. Ball, the Cvunty Solicitor, WAS then called, and slated Ilie result of the Court's deci-ion at Toronto upon tho appaal from Justice Wilson's judgment. NR. BALL'S BEPORT. Woodstock, Jan. 2, 1878. The irardrn anil Members of the County Council if the Cotnily if Oxford, Gentlemen : BE REVELL AND OXFORD.—The full _ Court has sustaiiMd Mr. Justice Wilson's Judgment ijuoshing your By-laws on the solo gruand that tha rates (hould have been levied on the Equalized Assessment of 1878. This 13 in ac­cordance with the opinion I gave you at the moating of tho Council when tho question came up. although the very peculiar wording of the 71 and 74 Sections of the Assessment Act of 1863'59 were well calculated to mislead your Council as to tho true construction and reader it difficult for you, or, indeed, any one to »ay what was the proper coarse to pursue.Undvr these circumstances the Court hav­ing determined that the taxes ought to have been levied under tho Equalized Assessment of 1876, 1 would recommend you to apply to the Legislature to legalize those By-laws, and that tne Act so legalizing them should con­ tain a clause enabling your Council to repay to those Municipalities which ara by these Uy- jaws rated for a greater sum than if the rate* bad been levied under the Equalized As­ sessment of 1376 any enm in excess of the proper amount. It will also be necessary, as no Equalization has yet been made pffthe As­ sessment of 1877 upon which the taxes for 1878 are to be luvied, to make such Equaliza­tion, and as from the reading ot the 71st clause of the Asaeesmeut Act of 1S63-B9, it would appear such Equalization should have been mode before the Fi hily. You TEE ELECTIONS. THEHK IS a bare possibility that Earl DnQrrin may be requested to act a* Vice R. gal Representative in the Dominion for another term. We feel certain that nothing could give greater pleasure to Canadians than the confirmation of thia rumor. The London correspondent of a Scotch paper writes :—-•• Th* rntnur that the Duke of Manchester hw been selected to succeed Lord DQUHUU H Viceroy of Canada, whose term of office expires this year, must be received with very great caution. In the first place, it is not by any means cortain that Lord Duffirio wjfl not be asked to fvrnaiu in Canada until after the final set- II?inenl of the questions pending between the Dominion and the United States, and certainly until be has brought to a ooaclu- ®M»B the difficult negotiations between the Eastern and Western Provinces of the Do- ffinlon. of which be alone baa the true bread. Another reason for delaying Lord □uSnin's retau is the belief that ha will hueeeed L»rd Lytton as Viceroy of India, and, jn ypitt ol the fiasco mad* there by Lard Biaa-msfi Id's nominee, there is a general feeling that he will not return until 1879, when he could do so without less ot prerilgB or feeling in the least degree wounded." INGERSOLL As stated iu our last, tbs Mayor, Reeve and Deputy Reeves were elected by ucela- mation, via:— Mayor—C. E. Chadwick. Reeve—Thomas Brown. First Deputy-Reo ve—Jas. Noxon. Second Deputy-Reeve—John Buchanan. COUNCILLORS. Firtl Ward,—In this ward the Coun­ cillors were elected by aaclarantion, as follows:—D. Choate, G. W. Walley, and Wm. Sulhsdand. Second Ward.—In this ward a contest took place, resulting as follows :— should get such Ixiualization also legalized. I think it would be highly desirable to have the 71 and subsection and ulso the 74 section of that Act repealed, aud an Act of which I send yon a copy sulistituted for them, ns it appears to me that the most important duty confided to a County Council i» the Equaliza­tion of the Bolls, and that the County J udge forms by no means the most desirable tribunal before which each an appeal should be tried, ns no legal questions ari-e in such an appeal. If any appeal is necessary, a mu eh better tribunal could be formed by the Wardens of the adjoining Counties.If Ilie taw is left in its present shape you may have the same trouble and expense every year that yon have experienced in this year's prwc-dings, and the affairs of the County will practically be governed by n Judge re­sponsible to no one, while you have to bear before your constituents the responsibility of his acts. Mr. Ball then rend tho judgment of Chief Justice Harrison, which mero'y con­ firm'd Ibat of Justice Wilson, quashing Iha By-laws upon the groTind that the equalized roll of 1876 should have bona used instead of that of 1877, for striking the county rate*. After some explanations from Mr. Ball the following reduction was proposed :— Moved by Mr. Noxon, seconded by Mr. Duan, an t resolved, that a By-law be now introduced making the equalization of 1876 the basi* for the nmonnt of County rate* each municipality should pay for 1877, aud that any overplus that may have been paid by any of the municipali­ ties be refunded them. An amendment by Mr. Francis fo the «ama effect, only leaving the calculation of amonuta for each municipality to be made by tba Treasurers of ths various munici­palities was lost, only Messrs. Francis. Burgess and Moots voting for It, and tho original resolution was then carried unani­mously. Moved by Mr. Munro, sreondad by Mr. Forbes, and resolved, that the report of lb* County Solicitor respecting the equaliza­ tion f r tbs year 1877, be referred to tho Equalization Committee for their report nt this meeting of th® Council. Go motion n Special Committee com­ posed of Messis.

This view of January does not in tbo leant clash with that given in my almanac over the date of 6th October last, but leBsena in a measure the degree of precipitation, rain and snow, tor the month, December having given so much more (of the former) than ita wont.

SHOCKING DEATH OF A SOMNAMBULIST. The Prescott Teleyraph o ttbo 3rd has the following:—About 2 a. m. on Sninntay morning tbo inmates of the Revere House were awakened by hearing the smashing of farnitun]. In the office of tho hotel were the night watch, Mr. Freeman I. Daniels, ami two or three other gentlemen; on hear­ ing the n»iao they were nt first unable to locate it, but concluded that it was up stairs, and seizing a lamp, proceeded in tbo <liioc- Uon of ihe sounds. On reaching die third story they discovered that tho noise proceed­ ed from room No.6. which is situated in the rear of the house in the third story, in which Was a young man nnmed Goodin. Having located the sound they accelerated their footsteps, but before reaching the door of the room they heard a crash of glass, then nil was quiet. On trying to open tbo door they found it fastened, and wore obliged to force an entrance, but discovered that they were too late, os the upper sash of the win­ dow bad been broken out, and the occupant of the room hod direppeared. They then hastened down stairs and out into the yard, where they found Goodin, bleeding, bruisotl, and insensible. II« WHS at once picked tip sad earned into the house, aurl Dr. Chip- ursn sent for, who pronounced Goodin iu a dangcron* state, but strange to say uo bones were broken. Tho window from which Goodinjuraped is fully thiriy-five feet above the ground, and in hia descent he came iu contact with another, building in the rear, thus to a certain extent breaking bis fall. Throughout Satardny and Bunday tbe young man ley in a comatose state, but on Monday morning regained hit sen sea, anil was with difficully able to speak. Goodin had retired to bis room about an hour pre­ vious to his miBbap, baring been sitting up with oae of (be employes of the hotel who WM riek. He is a innn of steady habits and not addicted to over indulging iu alohol- ic stimulants. It appears, however, that Iio ia a iomaambulist, mid has been known ou former occasion# to get up in hie sleep and act violently in Lis roam, and to this habit, inall probability may bo attributed the terri­ ble accident which has befallen him. That be coon ped death is almost a miracle, but we fear that fatal rcsullB will yet follow the fall. LATKB— Yonng Goodin breathed Lis last at an early hour on New Year's morning.

Tho dreadful has always been tho rival of the beautiful, and whereas a modern saint pictures Leuven as a place where he can hear, and tee, and experience things lovely, au early saint drew exultant delight from the thought that bo could look down from paradise and Bee tbo lust iu their endless torment. Out of this awful chasm of the horrible sprang up Dante's poem—a song which no modern poet could compose by any possible means ; sprang up the outlines and details of tho theologies! perdition, and out of tbe Baine soil, satur­ ated with blood, and heated with eternal fires, sprang the farmer definition of God. It was put tog -llior by men who had cruel enemies, and who longed to sec them well punished, and who had boon reared in a school where ihe horrible was the true, the beautiful and the good. Many of those men who composed the creeds of the past had suffered in self and in their families untold tortures. Their lands dripped in blood tbe year round. Hence God moved before thorn in two qualities ef savior. His own. and the most fearful avenger ef his children's enemies. The Catholic and the Protestant creeds both sprang up where tho power to arrest and torment and crush an enemy was a luxury which no sou! could forego. The printers loved to paint Buffering ; tbe preachers loved to sat it forth fa words; Dante and Mi'ton both loved to set bitter curses to the rhythm of (heir verses. It is little to be waudsred at that out of a wronged and suffering and revengeful past there should spring tip a definition of G<><! from which was omiltod every element of mercy or justice.Born thus ont of the public cruelty, the definition of God must needs soon enjoy tbe modifying influence of a deeper public education and of growing jnstiae and kind­ ness. Anninicnism, Uniturianism, Quaker­ ism, Universalism, Methodism were some of the forms assumed by tba eofteneil tlunght and feejingof tb? seventeenth cen­ tury ; while iu the Itoman Catholic church tUo school of Fei; el on came along showing a parallel mitigation of the nature of hell and of (ho hitherto measuraloss malic* of God. Tbe recent utterances of several Scotch Presbyterians and of Canon Farrnr and of Mr. Beecher arc tbo latest nud bold­ est words in a dissent which fins been a muttering thunder for a baif-linodrod years. Those last words are only tho sharp thun­ der showing that Clio storm has coma, that it is overhead, that our liousi s and fields will soon receive the good or ill of the on- rogud elemeuta. • a o a « Tho Bible argument alano remains, and it is so obscure that if the English Canon Furrar fa positive that Iha terms forever nud eternal are only popular terms signify- ■ He VM the m aotgerof a church fair, and > one morning he walked into n newspaper office and said:— ” Want an item thia morning?'’ ' “Of eounm,” replied the editor. Whene- > upon the visitor laid the following note up> I on the table:— “The tailira of Iha--------Street Chtireh I will give a festival at their vestry hall next 1 Friday evening. Literary and mneical en- tertainmenta will be provided, and a sup- ’ per will ba served to all who desire. The 1 ladies in charge of the affair have mnch'ex- 1 patience In euoli matters and are sure to , provide a good lime. The admission will . be only fifteen oenta, and it ia certain that no one can spend that amount to better ad­ vantage. Bo sure to go and Lake your frienda.” When the editor bad read it. he said— “Oh, I see, BQ adverlismeut.” “ No, not an advertinmet t. We prefer to have it go in the local column," replied the manager. And aeoing that tbo editor looked scep­ tical, he continued:—“It will intersat a great many of your readers and help a good canso ; beaidM, we have spent so much money getting up onr entertainment that we can't afford to aul- vertiae it without increasing the price of the tickets. In such a matter as this we ought to be willing to help each other." "Well," eaid the editor, “if it goes into the locals, I suppojo you would reciproaato hy reading a little notice in your church next Sunday." The visiting brother naked what notice, and the editor wrote and handed him the following:— “The Weekly Spit-Fire for the coming year will be tho beat and cheapest faintly paper in Maine. Its proprietor has had much experience, and baa all the helps which a large outlay of money can procure. Hia paper has a targer circulation than any published in the country, and is to bo fur­ nished at only 82. It is certain that no one can spend that amount to a bettor advan­ tage. Be sura to take tho Spit-Fire, and subscribe for your friend#.”The manager hemmed and, hesitated,and thou said, solemnly, that he doubted whether it would b« judicioon to read such a notice, bat au*gested that if it was print­ ed eopioa a! it might be distributed st the door of the vestry on the evening of the en­ tertainment. •■Iea."*aid the editor, “but it wonld at­ tract more attention in tho middlo of a arr- mon. It will interest a large nxmbor of your congregation and help a good cause ; and beside, so much m«n>y is spent upon t ie Spit.Fire that I don't see bow tho own­ er can afford to print handbills to ndvnrlise it without increasing the subscription price. ID such a matter M this wo ought to bo willing to help eacli other." Then the gentleman saw tho situation. A Hagerman youth sold a hone to Prof. Howard for 75 cents, and tho latter valuta the nag at 86. Wonderful stock raising cun- try, these free-graut districts. A young min known to be a habitual swearer was lately sent to jail for twenty- one days, by a Listowel magistrate, for using profane language on tho street. J. M cCAUGHEY, L. L.

Im u >rtality nud eternal death may, indeed, be only th" largest terms which tho mind can a»". As eternity rises tip before us without any sig­ nificance except that of negation, suit may bo that tho endlessness of the future means only the vaslunesa of God and the feeble­ ness of man. Here I can speak only for myself, and must speak less from biblical criticism than from simple feelings, and thus speaking, I would cling to the words •‘ever*’ and “forever” in their old sente, and fed that man's next life will be end­less, bo ho worthy of (he highest paradise or only of a world where there comes at (imes such sorrows M bead as bore. I would bold to ths word “eternal", but would save the beauty and whole character of Go.l by supposing tho lust world to bo ono not which rolls iu billows of fire where agony screnms above the roaring ot flames, but a world where beings lower than saints are living along willingly their an- unmbcrcd years. » * 6 Will this overturning of the old belief re­ garding future punishment affect badly the future of Christianity, or of public morals 2 Weare not left to conjecture for a reply. The msjrrity of Christians have not for half a certury ren'issd that there were any such hell as that pictured by the ehnreh. The words have been repeated as of old to soras degree, but, with Catholic and Pro­ testant, the old significance Lae fallen away, end left behind only the general truth that God will punish sin and reward virtue.

The bell had become jammed into the upper pari of Ibe ring sad could not ba stirred. After reversl ineffec­ tual atteiapte to free it, Higgins procured a targe bn turner, leaped on to the bell, and struck it a blow. The apparatus immedi­ ately sank into the broader space, and Hig­ gins went with it. A groan was heard, but nothing eould be seen of ths poor-fel­ low as be pasasd swiftly with the mate rial iuto the furnace. Tbs blast was at once thrown off and a powerful current of air forced, but tl»e horrible amill which arose proved that ths poor roan'a body was being rapidly consumed, and not tho eUgbtert portion of it WM rwovorod.

The prejudice agains t tills Jood Tor milch co H a Jias arisen '■into the effect of the seedr when given in too Urgoquuutity. The seeds have a diuretic cf- ■*ftet, operating on the kidneys, and thia has • ndmetimes lessened the flow of milk ; but if a small pirtioAuf the seeds are removed this danger is wholly removed. Indeed, tlio cases of ill-affect have probably occurred fromfeed- ing more than ths' due proportion of seeds. We have seen pumpkins ted quite freely with eicellent results in quantity and quality of milk; but it is not filer cconomicd io feed any one food. Potatoes fed iu moderation are excellent for milk ; but, given in too great quantity they will reduce the yield. Turnips ar beets must not bo given too liboiolly. Cora fodder, given M a sole raikm, la mipretUaWa ; Lut fed with Imlf » pasture will keep up the yield of milk, and odd largely to Hio profit of the MMon. So p,»,kiu are excellent to keep up tbo fall flow of .milk. Having filly the value of tur-1 nips, per weight, they are more cheaply raiaed, uni should bo added to the yearly sup- p1y of food by every dairyman. When grown alone, it If found, that as many tons per sera may be produced as of turnips ; but the custom mostly is to grow the pumpkin with a corn crop. From eno to two tons may be grown with a good yield of corn, requiring little more than placing the seeds, at a disS tance of twenty feet apart, in alternate rows of emu. The cultivation cf the corn will be ■□(Bcicut attention to the pumpkin crop ; and this crop will often ba equal, in food v^e, to ,, tturybuahels of corn per acre.—L ive*Stuck A VAHETY OF FAUUION NOTES.
