There is an atmosphere of cultivation and refinement at Hightteld, and its inhab­ itants, especially those of the gender sex,are ildvoted to science and art. In short, ‘cutshaw ’ is the open sesame to most Hiali-field doors,and those doors are the entrance way lo houses remodeled iu the Elizabotb-an, Jacobean or Queen Ann ’htyle, withmullionoj] or diomond-paned windows and tessellated floors—floors beautiful to look atbut uncomfortable to walk on, making onefed something like a pawn on a chess-board. And the effect of the landscape "a? viewedfrom the diamond-pined windows is start­ ling, resembling uothitg us much as a stretch of arson giugbam.Starlight evoniugs the ladies, of the town are to bo seen iu groups tracing constella­tions and looking lor new astor-ids. Whileon sunny afternoons there aro hurrying coupk-a of them equipped with baskets andhammers, intent cu geological discoveries.The finding of an extiuct crmtaccan is more of an event in the life of a Highfield girlthan is a proposal of marriage, (that is, it occurs oftoner); aud so ongrosspd are they with their pursuit tliat should'yon ask oneher ago siwwyuhl abstractedly reply • ours is the Devonian age.’ It seems a pity that the young men of thetown should not appreciate all this intellec­ tuality, and that Harry Anderson, one ofthe ‘ first* of the gallants, should have be­come sated with culture, and gone to the neighboring village of Richville, whorebeauty predominated over brain,for a bride, and paid court to pretty Kitty Meal. Hav. ing word and won her,he took her to High-field and made her mistress of a pleasanthomo. But it was like transplanting a gay exotic into an old-fashioned garden of grimmonks-hopd and prim bachelor’s button, ofmJaucholy mourning bride and stately southernwood—the n*W a'.ujospherd ^hill­ ed her ; sho felt herself deficient iu culture ; she felt that her lively ways made her ap­ pear undignified. And having boon ac­customed to the girls oi the period who simpered end giggled, promenaded the streets aud collected iu twos and throes onthe sidowaik to await the passing of that handsome young mon, us be ca.uo up froma down-town store to ten,felt at loss amongthose yOnng ladies who discussed proto­ plasm and evolution as they saunteredalong ; who,if they stopped upon the street, stopped to congratulate each other upon the discovery of Ate. The acme of her ‘sot 'in Rich villa had been to possess the largest calling acquaintance and the most elegant outfit in which to mike calls. Hid yousaid trilolilo to them they would have ask­ ed, with a well-brel stare, if it was good to put iu salads, and the discovery of a fl.iwip somebody's character interested them far more than a new planet. They coni 1trace it with perfect ease, its beginning, itsorbit, its probable end, though vivisection were often loss eruel to their subject. Rich­ville is one of those towns of which it has boon said, that not quite largo to sustain n theater, the lack of excitement is suppliedbv getting up domestic tragedies and com­ edies ia real life.

And as they only dy» votm-d their victim's r.taututfou no ooe thonciit to call them cannibals, especially nt it was a Christian town where churchesabounded and where there wore liberal contributions made to send missionaries to the South Sea Islanders.There wus a revival nt Highfi Id about this time—a revival of art iuslea.l of relig­ion, nuil painting was ths all-absorbing them-’, large classes being formed, tbo members ranging iu years from four-scoreto four; oil, water-colors and mineral pow- dels weie all tiled. Kitty's attention was first called to the prevailing mauia by over­ bearing conversation iu the cars. Four young ladies sat vit a iu front ufhf-r.and were talking in au earnest uud an­ imated tn inner, paying no attention to thoqnsrtel of students opposite. ‘ How di “e---ent from Rich vide girls,' she thought, ‘their conversation nimt bo intensely interesting.«dso they would be flirting with thoso boys.’It was something like this—‘ Caledonian brown, permanent bin", burnt sienna, won­derful effect—a beautiful bird on a branch, an exquisite butterfly—oh, the loveliest China plate I Such a background—the per­spective was—3 bug and a bee—the middle distance. Chorus—ah! oh I oh! how ex­ quisitely beautiful, how perfectly lovely.'Now is there a woman whoso cmiosily would'not have been aroused? So when nil were iu tbo depot about to lake the carsfor home. Kilty timidly anked one of tbe young ladies if she bad seen anything new in dress goods. • I haven’t been in a dry goods’ store to­ day. I Lave lost all interest in tho fashions.' she answered. • Tho reason I risked,’ sail Kitty.' wasbecause I heard you talking of difforeJt colors on the way out’• Qh, those were paints; wo aro nil paint­ing in oil; its perioclly dulightful.

Dm't youknow I always have the dearest, sweetest bonnet?, and tbo tastiest necklies ?’ • No doubt about the dearness of yourbonnets,' said Harry dryly. * but I really think yoa bad better devote your spare time to year mnsie.

But Mistress Kitty bad her own sweetwill, went to Knees haw's for the necessary materials, and joined the painting clou, ‘.Well what have yon aMomplished to­day T' asked Harry at the cIom of an after­noon's tenon. • I’ve begun just the loveliMt dog-eoller-*‘ Dog collar I* interrupted Harry, * Why you hav’n't a dog to wee* iL* •Ob yon stupid; it'e for myself—don’tyou know thtrt evorythlag worn elate around the throat is a dog collar ?

Ho was inMespair; he wished his pretty littleWife to be happy, and she seemed supreme.-ly so. He could net bear to scold her. What should ho ds ? - That v.ory day hebad asked her for tbo third tiiai it she had sowed a rip in his glove.* No,’ she replied, • I have been so busy with iny butter plates,that I quite forgot todo so.* ‘Thank goodness,* thought Harry,‘she Is at las*, b.coming- iniorcsted in bar house-hold affairs again.’* What was tho troublo with tho butter plates ?' ho asked encouragingly. * HadBridget allowed them to accumulate ?’ ‘ Bridget! why she has nothing to do with them,—what do you menu ? I’m talk­ing about those thin wooden plates upon which butter is sometimes sent o you from the groceries. We aro painting lovely do-signs-on them—don’t you think they'll be too pretty for anything,set about on shelves or bracketed agaiuut tbo walls in this way?’said she, producing one to try the. effect. * No, I do notsaid Marry gruffly. ‘Ithink they are abominable;' and wont out slamming the door. Kitty pouted a while, then paiuted fustoi than ever.‘ It’s more than human nature can stand,’ ■ soliloquized Harry one Sunday morning. I Kitty bad gouo to church alone. Somehowsince sbo had fallen victim to this maniashe had boooino' more independent, and Hany was tumbling drawers,looking vain-ly for stockings that were not ragged and suirta that Were not buttouless. Hi selec­ ted the best pa.'.’.of hose anil pul thorn on, but as the tons went so worn that Ohly a (few threads remained, tLo effect was ns ifhe had put on a pair of bis Aunt Prudence'smitts. He used somo expressive language, then searched for poedlos and thread to sowbuttous on. Of course there wore women in Higbfiold who, not withstanding their devotion to art,kept their husband's toes properly coveredand their heels hedged in by neat rows of * ladder stitches.' They were wonderfulwomen whose bread and coffee was a ways, like ininrfi and dew; but alas ! Kilty wasnot one of them.Thinking of Aunt Pnd ence's milts put an ilea in Harry’s head. * By Jcvo, I'll do it!’ ho exclaimed, andgoing to bis desk wrote as follows: Our Aunt: Cm n >t you make Hie lon;.pro nine JrUlt iurn-.- liatcly ’ Kitty liu a crate, and I'm a w-etch­ed nun. 1 think, though th*t yuur Judicious adviceulL help to mond matter*.

I shill be gladto see ber.ouly I h >pe I ehull nut bo obliged to give up my painting losfions.’ ‘ Ob sbo win. entertain hersai*, you will not have to change your plans for her.

Per­ haps she, h ivnig always been used to care­taking will make suggestions about your house-keeping.’ I hope you will not be of­fended in that ca.'-e.’* Oh iT’,’ replied the good-nature.l Kitty, * I shall only be too glad.* Harry met his esteemed relative at thedepot, but was somewhat amazjJ at tho vigorous shaking aud sympatho io squeezesbe gave Lis baud, and al t io tears shoshed, as well us at her words. * Oh my poor, unfortunate, boy, bow sad that this culuuiity should fall upon yon.II-iw long has she been so *? Is shcravin?' * What calamity ? who been how ? what do you moa» anyway ?*‘ Why your wife, you wrote that she was crazy.'* No I didn't,' ha interrupted, • I wrote,bad a craze ’ and Henry laughed so im­ moderately that everybody looked and wondered what there was ho mirth-inspir-ing about the thin elderly woman he was conversing with.On their way to his house ho explained Kitty’s * craze,’ aud tho forlorn condition of bis household and wnrdrobn, saying thathe thought that sho would in time recoverfrom Lor mania, and that ho hope I his good old nuut would in the mean time look after affairs os wall as bestow soulo goodadvice. Now this calling upon a third person to regulate tbo wheels of his domestic clock­work may seem an unwarratablo proceed­ ing on the part of Harry—but he knew theadjuster to be a woman of skill aud goedcotnthon sense, and had fa tb that there would be satisfactory results. Kitty found hcraelf perfectly free fromrestraint, free to pursue her study o! art (?) for her heart’s content—in fact Auul Pru­ dence so took care from hor that sbe hadnothing but her beloved pursuits to occupyher. Then, too, the good old aunt formed an interested audience of one, aud Kittyraved by tho hour of middle distances, of perspective, of (hinr-otcuro, of Flemish and other schools of art, her listener com­menting in the moan time, * I believe she’s gain’stark starin' mad; snoh gibberish I pc ver liearl in all the days of my life.** Oh, aunt,’ Kitty exclaimed one day, • I wouldn't wonder if yoa had an old sione churn.

They war* in exeallent circam-atancca, aud John was as happy as a well-to-do farmer can be. 11e wu no fool citljer, for ho had a good library—and readit, too—and gained a great deal of useful knowledge. John was good lookiag, not ahandsome man (for there are dune) bat atall finely formed man. But John had one failing in my eyes—he was twenty-sixyears oil aud not married. Nor was thereany pttospeot of any such event happening very soon, for of all the bashful mon 4hatever wore a shirt collar John Eldred was vicinity wore strangers to him, a* b* .wasalways avoiding everything that wore a dress, save htemothe; and sister.John’s mother was a quiet, loving wo­ man, who ever had uppermost in h<r mind the happiness of her children, consequentlyshe had for sums time secretly wjsbid that i ho was married.Gertruds, John’s sister, was a very pret-i ly young lady, and also chafed heri motuer’s.wiah, bid how to bring it about she could not imsgine. In the same neighborhood lived JudgeClark, who bad .i daughter named Mabel. Now. John had for * long, time secrectly admired Mabel, and although fco bad nev­ er betrayed it, bis sister had guessed bis secret, and resolved to bring abogt a matchbetween the two, but just bow to do it sbe did not know. It happened in July, tbo anecdote I amnow in shape to relate. Gertrude bad in­ vited a number of girls to a quilting partyeno afternoon, Mabel among the rest. Sbo told John that they were coming, and added: "Now, John, for my sake, do come iu totea tins afternoon. You know all the girls that will bo hero, and—------”" But, Gertrude, that patch of timothyby the north woods must bo cut, and a* Jim has gone homo to stay over Sunday,1 shall have to cut it.” Aud so, much to Gertrude’s chagrin, be took bis scythe over his shoulder after din­ner and started for the patch of timothy.But be lingered around tbo orchard until be saw the plump figure of Mabel Clarkcoming, aud then, heaving a sigh, bo start­ ed for Lis work. The pa tali of timothy, referred to was anewly cleaned piece of land, nearly sur­rounded by woods, and so full, of stamps aud log piles that it was impossible to usethe machine. We will leave John mowing and return to the party. It was a very warns day, so the girls Ladmoved the chairs out doors in the shade ofsome large maples, and there they sat chatting, joking, and laughing, as only a parly of l^lA-hcaitod girls can.Meanwhile John had mowed severaltimes across tbo patch, and it began to be terribly hot. The sun poured its raysdown with great intensity, and the thick wood on all sides kept off any breeze thatmight be etirring. John was more thanhot—hs was fairly boiling, and as thirsty as an old topper. So thinking that no one could possibly see him, be sat down on alog and took off Iris shoes and pantaloons, and then with bis long gingbam shirt andwide rimmed straw bat and his socks, re­sumed mowing. He bad mowed twice across the piece, aud was picking out thelong grass around an old log pile, when right before him be saw a pair of blue raws.John was no coward, but he was mortal­ ly afraid of snakes. If be bad been warm before, be was a lump of ice now. With adash of his scythe he cut off lbs bead of one of them, and the other one raised bis head and darted toward him. John drop­ped his scythe, turned and jumped just nsthe booked teeth of the snake eaught above the wide, firm hem of the rear endof his gingham shirt. He cast one look behind him and saw bis dreadful enemy—streaming like a pen­ nant from a steamship—and, thinking onlyof the terrible fate that awaited him if ba stopped, bounded towards the house with tbo speed of an express train.Ou, on be ran through the north mea­ dow and orchard, and, as ha neared the house, the thought of the party flashed onhis mind. But therd^s as no other way,and so on he ran.. He dathed down past the west end of the house, and as be rounded tb* corner, Jthe whole party of girls met his vfow." Call a man 1“ b* yelled, and then turn­ ed the ooraor. So great was hia tnotuen turn that tha snake swung around and bithim *n bis bare legs like the sharp sting ofa rawhide whip. The girls screamed and jamped. and thequilt went over on the ground. The vision sped around the corner, and one* more came the cry:"Call a man!" No quioker did ba disappear around the corner of the house than he would appearat the other comer. Every time ha turned the corner, be would receive a terrible blew from th* ©old, tiimy anake which wouldraise him fn-m tha ground at least four feat, and at every blow bo would yell: “ Call a man I” The frightened gwls rushed for tb* house and they had hardly got inside the door M John flew past with the shout:“Calls maul'* Down asrow the road La wort, leaping the gate «t a bound, and as ho canteredthrough the floek oi hens, ecattering them in all directions, tb« shout rone loud and clear:“ Call a man 1” Around th* bum, beak again toward th*hours, went tlw slracge pair, and m the chum.Mpiip*t4*L,]rrtH ijutj^rj pew jectaafl*dm»r*ifoA.t«Hy «• a foiur* wifehoLrmil, aud tbia » Oi-lj DtJon«t* Bal 141 later'bfo, to psoplp frho nave no wrillm hr r flirt, and no wish to moray. »<ua* * piri» i when delightful friendship* wjtb tb* pppt.« ' site sex arepossiLte.*nd:ii fr UM*-fieopciI fot* they *rs rttber old, or faded or' o m|.Iracthfl.

The first Mat is still being contested in the courts. Tnx press ar* unanimous in their endor­ ention of tho appointment of Earl Dufferin M British Ambassador at St. Petersbuq;. Th* Time* says that it is unnecessary to re-echo Lord Dufferin’s praises, which are iu all miu'a mouths. Few public men huve been covered with eulogies so unani­ mous aud so well deserved. His fame ha* grown to remarkable proportion* during l!ie later year* of his Vice-Royalty of Can­ aria, cbirfly by the witchery of bis tongne. No doubt Lord Dnfferin’s tact is as perfect m hia temper. Nature ba* endowed bitn with qntek perceptions, and be will now be guided to results by a ripened judgment aud an anlarged knowledge of men and atl&ira. In Russia Lord Dufferin will have much to observe well worth observation. Beyoud the circle of Imperial and Minis­ terial authority, there are elements now in Ituuia which, peacefully or violently, must have an influence upon it* policy. Lord Dufferin will not miss the meaning of th* pregnant event* which must happsn in lltiMia, and the value of his observations to a government which will be able to use them will tbps b* multiplied many times.

The Ottawa Government has wisely allowedtheso falsehood* to go for what they may1 fetch with the ouly class gullible enough to1 bo temporarily deceived by th* m. Whentho Finance Minister unfolds his policy, it will, of course, bo the cue of tbe shattered party to color and misrepresent; mean-, while, common decency might have sug­ gested that to criticise a policy not formu­ lated rave in the imrginalion of lb* Grits, was hardly just to Ministers, and certain­ly in open contempt of tbe people whoso fiat admitted of no misunderstanaing.

W*challenge Mr. Crooks to show one word either in Senator Macpherson's pattfpbleta, or in the columns of The Mail In proof ofbis statament. It is utterly without foun­ dation. Either the Minister of Education hi* been misinformed,or he seta a shockingexample to the youth under bis charge by wilfully bearing falra witness against Lisneighbour.' In either case be owes it to bis position to-sot himself right on the matter.It is not those who demand economy iu Local affairs but they who support tbeeuormoua in crus so in the expenditure, thatare the foes of the Federal system and the friends of Legislative Union. Tbe people,already hard set to bear their burdens, willere long rise and demand a total change, a general simplification of tbo system. Be­tween Dominion, Local and Municipal in­ stitutions, no people on the face of the earth are so heavily taxed for the machin­ ery of guverDmsnt. Tbo cost is increasingfrom year to year beyoud all proportion to tbe increase of wealth or population, and unless determined men coma to tho rescue and put back the outlay, there can ba butono result. Mr. Crooks and his friends bare dona much to render Local govern­ ment odious. They have added vastly tothe cost of government. For five years past they have been spending more than their income. They have, even in a periodof unparalleled depression and wnnt, in-, creased salaries, members's indemnity, tbo cost of legislation, and tho cost of tbe civilservice. They have treated tho revenue of this Province aa though they were moneys to bo applied to tho comfort and benefit of themselves and thsir adherents. Theyhave been selfish *nJ extravagant beyond comparison ; and now when, with the inev­ itable ond of a career like theirs in sight,we insist on a wholesale reduction, theyhave tho audacity t* shout.'* Treason J" The Federal aystem was not injured onTuesday when Ministers announced iu theEstimates for 1879 that they had succumb­ ed to public opinion and reduced theirsalaries and tho indemnity; nor will it be destroyed but rather savad and perpetuated .when the administration of affairs is placedin the hands of meu charged with tho special duty of enforcing * policy of re­ trenchment on a much more ex o n ire scale. LETTER FROM HON. D. L. MACPHERSON. To the Editor of The M*ILSin,—My attention has boon called to a loiter from Hon. Adam Crooks, dated tho1st February, which was road at a meeting of the Reform Association of the SouthRiding of Oxford, and from which I make the following extraordinary extract:— “The leedihs organ ot the Oppoa.Uon.M <reU m thou A Legislative Union and the custavemcut of Ontario•gain to the other provinces." Mr. Crooks' cbargo is utterly unfounded.He owes it to bis constituents, to himself aud to m to point t* th* evidence on which he based it, or retract the charge. In mypamphlet on the affairs of Ontario, I ves­tured to tell the people that the extrava­ gance of tho Mowat Government, that thecontinuance in office of that Government, would endanger tho institutions of the country. I sai 1 (vido page 60):—“ Thevery existence of our Confederacy is ser­ iously endangered by tho extravagance,and worse than extavagauce, whivh has charac­terized the admiuistrations of tho Bell-styled Reformers at Ottawa and Toronto. Thepeople will not bo ablo long to (tagger underthe burdens which have been placed upon them by iuMi-coro men and incapable ad­ministrators.'’ Theso words do notexpresssentiments hostile to our institutions. I eall upon Mr. Crooks to quote words of -lUfao which do express hostility to the prsaenl system of government. If I desir­ed the destruction of the autonomy of On­ tario, I slteold bo a supporter of Mr. Mow-al’s government—of the Government ofwhich Mr.Crooks is a member.

An Aiderman on the Defense. HOW A COLORED INDIVIDUAL'S WOUXDF.D HONOL’ltWAS VIb’DICATED—TUR DIFFICUL­ TIES OP A BEPOP.TER WHO THIES TO TELLTHE TRUTH. From the Toronto Telegram. After tbo close of the business at tho Police Court yesterday, and when themagistrate wns about to leave tbo Bench, Mr. Fenton, tho County Crown Attorney, addressed Ilia Worship and said :—I have just drawn an inter n ition which I wish to read to yonr Worship, as I understand tbo defendant is willing tomeet tba issue at onc°. Tbo complainant in the matter is- Dr. A. P. Sheppard, who complains that in tbo issue of The Tele­gram of Monday last a gross libel against himself was printed under the caption of " A Police Court Sketch." Tho chargerun* as follows :— creed or colour among my oonaUlueot*. IL ) HITOATION WANTED. this coloured genttemau baa bran injuredin any way by such a powerful exponent of pnbllu opinion as The Telegram, I for one am not afraid to fight bis bhltlea forhim. Tbe doctor ia * learned man ; an eloquent man ; and on my late visit to O taw* I bad th* doctor in my mind's•ye. 1 called on Sir John, and told bitn that I thought it waa unfair that no Govern­ment appointment* had bran made amongth* coloured population : tbat I bad tbo honor of representing a good many oft'i*m, aud that I tliougbt one of them should be appointed to the city postoffi :e." Encouraged by a sympathetic and long­ ing smite of the ’• gesticulating lips,” Aid.Piper continued iu a more emphatic andeloquent tone—" I was not satisfied fa urging tbe claims of tbe colored populationon Sir John, but waited <n tb* Marquis of Lores and reiterated my views on the sub­ject to him. I also informed him that onhis visit to Toronto an address from ths coloured population, would ba presented tohim, and when I made tbestatement I had already picked out Dr. Sheppard as tbe man who should present the address. Itwas too bad tbat if a man bad once had the misfortune to bs incarcerated in theCentral Prison, that nil his hopes in lifeshould be blasted, aud tbat bis every ap­ pearance in Dublio should be made theoccasion of his being brought into con­ tempt. I am always ready and willing to araist the oppressed ; and as I think thatDr. Sheppard has been hardly used in this matter 1 have a double duty to perform,as he is not only an opnressed man but oneof iny constituinls." The doctor here arose and arrested the flow of Aid. Piper's eloquence with tbo re­mark :—•• I bab bad n conversation wid de gen'l'man dar (pointing to the sergeant- majur) about de Telegram saying be fol' me to take off my.glub nn'be said lie didn'ttol’ rue to do anything ob de sort." Tho Magristrate considered this a serious matter. Tho complainant's principal ob-> jectien id the courso pursued by The Tele­ gram was tbat it was ia^Ug tho bread from his mouth. After hearing tbe eulo­ gistic remarks of Aid. Piper, ho thought it would only bo fair to tho complainant tostate that nothing that Lad appeared in •The Telegram would prevent him fromgiving him a recommendation if ho was fawant of work. Ho did not see, however, that tho statement of Complainant having lived on University-street could Lo con­ structed into a libel. Ho had heard tuuCounty Attorney, All. Piper and Dr. Sheppard, and ho would now like to hear what tho defendant bad to say.Mr. Murphy, who bad been retained by the defendant, said ho did not know whether to plead or demur Io the infor­mation- Tho doctor had arrived r.t such an ago that he could not be considered adandy, and the imputation that be had orhad not worn gloves when coming to court could not be considered a libellouspublication. Ab to tho second clause of tbe information, he had yet to learn that ibe fact of a verson having made an ad­dress to tbo Y. M. C. should be snfficienl to bring him into ridicule or contempt. If this was not tho case, then there wm noth­ing libellous in tbo statement that he bad addressed the said Associaliin. Tho most libellous statement that ho had board iucourt to-Jay, including ; tho rva-iing of tho information, was tho remark which haddropped from tho Comity Attorney whenreading th* charge to th* Court. When ho read that the defendant, "a certain evil- disposed person," he stopped, and afterconsideration remarked, " I should have added reporter," thereby imputing that the word “ reporter " was synoytuous with theexpression “evil-disposed person." He »on- sidered that this, if intended, was a directinsnlt to tbo honourable profession towhich the defendant belonged. Mr. Fenton arose and disclaimed anysuch ii tention. Ho thought that if nn npology was offered by the defendant that the complainant'a honor would be satis­fied. To this, however, the counsel for tho de­ fense, objected, a* he contended that tbereport in The Telegram was n truthful andaccurate sketch of what had occured, and if newspapuTi ba l a virtue nt all.it «a_v thatof truthfulness. He could not therefore offer tho apology demanded. Dr. Shep­ pard had cotno there for the purpose ofvindicating his character, and ho had no doubt that tbe high enounitin bestowed upon him by Ahl. Piper, ami the kind ex­pressions ef his Worship iu reference to ob- iliniug him employtna il, would have the effect '’ontouaplnled by tho doctor when he brought this information into court.The Doctor replied—“ What I found fault with was dat do Telegram put meaway up in University-* root ; I 'spose deythought d.xl 148 York-street, w'here f live, was too near de Telegram office for darrespectability. However. I’ll lieb de case in the Lands ob de Crown Attorney, aud am satisfied to do whateomever hosays. Tho Crown Attorney did not nrgo any further proceedings, in consequence ofwhich the css* camo to an abrupt termina­ tion. TUB SSL* WAB. a Durnau column a x mimiibt p. Cape Town, Jan.

Natal, however, is in great danger, am) disturbances are fear­ ed in PongcJand. Chelmsford, com­ mander of the expedition,has been forced to retire in consequence of the de­ feat. It is estimated that 500 soldier* were killed, besides the officers enumera­ ted above. Governor Sir Bartie Frere sent an appeal to England and the Mau­ ritius for reinforcements. The mail steamer for England was despatched a a day earlier then usual with a request for six regiments of infantry and a bri­ gade of cavalry. The men of-war Jcfive and De tiedoe have been ashore. The Tenedot was rerionaly injured, and ob­ liged to go into dock at Simon Bay.

Details oi the disaster to the British force show that the guns were spiked Iwforc they were captured.

It is amazing that Mr. Crooks,or any one of bis party, should have the temerity. I might aay the indecency, to allude t* theCanada Pacific railway. Doea he not know it can be demonstrated that tho in­ capacity, favouritism, and extravagance ofMr. Mackenzie, (tbo senior deputy head of the Reform party) as Minister of publicWorks, including the steel rail speculation,entailed upon the country the loss of a sum sufficient to build *250 miles at least of the Pacific Railway, west of tho Red River.Tho country has to thank Mr. Crooks for avowing sod proclaiming that tho policy of the Mowat Government if sustained by tbepeople, will bo to embarrass tbo Dominion Government, to frustrate and defeat the in­ tentions of the people, ao unequivocallyexpressed on the 17th September last.

Two of tbe • grandchildren of tbo heroin* are now liv- , ing in Ingersoll :— ! In the month of September, 1792, on tbe 1 banks of tho Delaware River, in tbo State i of New Jersey, near where Eastown now I is, you might have seen a woman about1 thirty years of age, preparing to leave for , Canada. She had eight children, th* eld­est a daughter about eighteen year* of age,and the youngest, also a daughter aged nine months. She bad two or three horseswith pack-saddles, and a few articles of clothing for herself and family, together with a tent, made by sewing a’ few ahartstogether, and some provision* for the jour­ ney. The clothing, tent, provisions, and smallest children were packed upon tbehorses, and in this manner they commenc­ ed their long and tedious journey through forests and over mountains, fording rivers,for road* or bridges wer* not in being at that time in tha country they were to pas* over. There were no public houses ortavern* to entertain the weary traveller*, consequently they bad to erect their tent,or sleep in the open air. For two or threeweary weeks they pursued lh*ir way, some­ times meetiag with Indians, and passingtheir villages ; but those wild ravages didnot molest or harm the travellers, but were kind and obliging, and would give or•ell them oom *r venison. Id fording a stream, an accident occurred. Ou* of thebore** on putting down bis head to drink, pitched one of the children, a little girl of eight year*, over hia bead fate Um stream.Sb* waa nearly drowned, but wa* finally rescued, her shoulder being dislocated by the fell. At laat th*y arrived at FortNiagaro, which wm then occupied by British *ol lier*, who put tli«m across theNiagara River on th* Canada shore, tbe long' expected laud of promise. From Niagara they made fbalr way along lb* shore of Lak* Ontario to th* Township ofGrimsby, where this woman'* hoeband, her two brother* and sister had settled ashort time before.

It is not likely the exact parport of Coluiiel de Grey’s mission will bo made known until hi* return to England, but rumor has it that thevisit will likely result in considerable alterationbeing made in the relation of the road with other systems in the country. Making Maple S ugar. — In making maple sugar, the season for which is at hand, it is of the first importance in the management of a sugar bush to preserve the trees from needless injury. Hence the old plan of Lacking with an axe must be avoided. Use a-half or three-quarter inch auger. There is no need of any further in­ cision for the spile or spout. A pipe fitted to the auger hole is all sufficient. Sap is best boiled down in large,flut.sliallow paus, arranged in such a manner that the snpflows gradually from point to point, and is b-dled to the sugaring-off slugs by the time it reaches the last of the course of puns. Anot her Fine Portbait.—Mr. D. C. Bell has produced another very fine por­ trait in oil, which is displayed iu Mr. Gayfer’s window. This time tho subject chosen is that of tho familiar countenance of W. K. Sumner. Esq. It is s faithful and correct portrait, aud shows off many of the peculiarities of tbe subject in a striking aud lifelike manner. Mr. Bell, *e will bo seen by card io another cclntun, is prepar­ ed to take orders for portraits painted from life; photographs, also, enlarged to life-size and colored iu oi). He* will also give lesson* iu drawing and painting. This ia an opportunity afforded to our townspeople of which wo trust no smallnumber will avjul themselves. His resi­ dence is near tbe Grammar Sthool. Ingersol l Mil ls.—The Foreign Trade. —Messrs. P. Stuart 4 Co., of tbe “North Star Mills,” are this weak sending off a trial shipment of six car loads of Standard Oatmeal of their own manufacture for the Liverpool and Australian maikots. Messrs. Stuart, Douglas 4 Co., of loger- sdl, are also chipping for Aurtralia 100 bbls, of split peas. Tbe tame firm are also putting np iu small pack­ ages of 50 Ibu. each, a shipment of split peas for tbo East India trudo. We trust tbe enteprise of our Ingersoll firms iu this direction will result in remunerative returns. The prospsets for doing a good trade in these commodities, we understand is good, and we know that tbe enterprise of Ingereoll men is such that they will not bo bau'ked by trifles. Should the antici­ pations of tho gentlemen who have in­augurated this trade be realized it will be of great benefit to Ingersoll and tbo sur­ rounding country. Regular Advertiser s.—Wa commend tlia following, taken from an exchange, to the conderatiou of business men;—“ Take it as a rule, the constant advertiser is tho one win does a profitable business, and not the on* who flashes bis announcements at irregular interval* upon tbo public. A merchant starts a business, put* up Lis sign, and h* keeps it tLere continually. He would be considered a rura avit in­ deed, if he would pull down his sign when business was dull, aud put it up again when business livened np. Still, that is the plan of wmi advertisers. They brake a good show for a few times, banging out a nice sign, telling people where to find them,and what lhey have for eale,and when trade slackens, they poll in their sign, and take a nap until belter times awaken them. We think our advertisers, those who wishto make tbe nee of printers' ink pay them, would find it more profitable to have re­ gular, yearly cards running, changing them frequently to prevent them getting etale, tbeu make thsir special announcements in separated advertisement* when ready to St. VAUENTtifs’a Day.—Many barb al­ ready procured their tribute of friendship, for the time-honered and annually ubeviv- ed anniversary ef St. Valentine, which uc- cura on Friday next.

There is not muoh change in the dceeriptione on ex­ hibition this year. The fayerite stjle of laat year, known as the "cameo valentine,” ia prominently reproduced this year, bnt io ■only varied in small points of detail. The moat noticeably novelty this year i« a now departure in the comic line. The cheapvarieties for one and two oonta, printed in flaming colors on poor paper, with theirrude drawing aud doggerel verse, find rivals in popnlur favor in those styled "useful articles.” These are novo! and ori­ ginal.

In tbifl issue we willingly insert a let. ter from our contributor, Professor James Law, on Pleurc-pneumonia, especially re­ferring to an article >.*i the January nnmber. We say it is onr duty to w*»d off the pro­ bability of danger. It is 01 do use “ lock­ ing a door alter the horse is ato.'en,” neither is it of much use io attempt to separate* the name of good, sound Canadia? pro- (factions from inferior or dangerous produc­ tions of the States. The safest way to err is on the right side ; if we never attempt to gain a ntme for superiority we shall never have it; if we had our way we would not allow another horn or hoof of cattle or swine to be admitted into Canada fromths States, under any pretext, until the diseases bo entirely stamped out in that country — plenro-pneumonia, foot andmouth disease, trichina and cholera. Rail­ way interests and commission men might suffer, but our farmers would be able toobtain the highest prices and make money. There is no grand victory gained without some sacrifice. The greatest interestof thia Dominion must be agricul­ ture, and stock must ba the moat profitable part of that buriuMS. We say oloeo the ports immediately against danger. If there is one legislator who has the farmer more in view than other matters, wa hope his attention will be cal­ led to this by seme of our readers.-— Far­mer* Advocate.

Dyer's dry goodsstore, in tbe village of Fnltou was broken into on tbs night of Deo. 18, 1878 by bur­ glars, who stole silks, velvets, carpels andcashmeres valued at 1500.

Two tranks filled with goods have been found at the house wliere Chriss has been living. It is claimed thatthe goods are those stolen from Dyer’s store. Chriss claimed to have smuggled tho goods from Canada, and was first arrested on acharge of smuggling. It is believed that ho confessed to the smuggling as a cloak for tho bnglary. While here Chriss formed the acquaintance of Alice Curtiss, who recently camo from Conneaut, Ohio, and the two were married about three weeks ago The display of silks made by bis wife, and tbe sjle of some of them at a dry goods store, led to her arrest.

And in order that every man may pay. for his own, and nq e,M else'*, they have concluded btgtn the new year by selling for Cash Only. All oar goods will be put down to the botfom pnoea, but none will becharged on the books. Wo would say that anysound thinking man will see at a glance that they can bay cheaper where no books arekept than in any bouM that does a credit boainees. Roping that we may still be able to retain your patronage, and at the end of tbeyear 1879 you will have no dunning letterscoming from the place where they sell forcash only. We hope the above may be an incentive for the right houee where ba know, he ran g more for the cash than he can for credit.WanutMousxa Bradscxy. A CARD. BORN".

Water, so essential to the life and healhy ol'the horse, yet proves when injudiciouslyused a fruitful source of mischief. Watershould nOtibo given to « homo iu largo quan­ tities shortly before being put to work, or on his leaving off work whi|u much heated, still Itts wheb jaded 'or whansted. When i ycold, a heavy draught of water, taken by afagged and hungry horse, often produces culic and - eomotimes even inflammation of the bowels. To remedy this, in som»« large es­tablishments, exhaust steam is passed throughthe horse-troughs, keeping tho water, at a temperature of about 45®. Others supply their horses from bn cl rets-which have stoodtilled forebmd Hbflrt in the stable, thus tak­ing off the rilriH. Tho dftfienlty in the later method,'or cv«> with'that which keeps water constantly before a horse, is that the animal isparticularly delicate about 'what he drinks and cannot enduro tepid, etale or impure water, while water thus exposed in a stable isliable to become full cf impurities and itn- 'prvgnated with ammonia and other gases. The time of watering horses is of evenmore importanoa than tho temperature. Whenanimals Layo frequent acces to water, there is little risk of’their taking more than is good for thexp. It is when tho horse has bccu toolong deprived of water, and is over thirsty and tired, that great caro must be exercised iu notpermitting too copious draughts. Groatdanger sometimes follows greedy drinking immi-diatoly alter a feed of grain. The im­ perfectly digested grain is washed onwardsinto tlio larger bowels, and is then inclined to excite acute and fatal disease. A few swall­ ows of water on lus return from work will do no banns, nfilers he is excessively*pvcrlieatedor prostrated. When horses are working on the road they should bo watered, cleaned antifed early, allowing quite an interval of timebefore starting out with them in the morning. Horae* should be watered often when at work, say omfo in eight or ten miles, or perhaps oncean hour if convenient, though from a few swallows to half a bucket at the most is suf­ficient. The stomach of a horse is so small incomparison with the size of his body that largo draughts of water at a time improperly distend tho stomach, hence smaller quantitesshould be given at frequently recurring in­ tervals. Straw for Hayses. Wo have been feeding our horse* osl straw all winter until flow, whan the eup- ply Is exhausted. W» have a lot of barleysiraw on hand, but we doub't If this would be good for horses. Thete is a good deal of dust in it; as the barley was caught in along rain, and this, with the beards, will,in oiir judgment,make it unsafe to give horses. Hoiaos, especially those that are workedand driven, should always have forage free from dust. Wo reason in this way, and it is sound logic. If two rackfuls of dusty ha\ will set a heavy horse to blowiug and panting so as to be useless, a constant dietof this sort offoed wnll damage a sound one. It will lay the foundation for, if it does not produce, a chronic irritation of tho lining membranes of the bronchial tubes and of the lungs. Wo have so much faith in this logic that we ahull not risk the ex­ periment. Clover hoy, if dusty, is equallydangerous. Bright oat straw is tho nicest kind of feed for horses. A beavy-horee, when fed on it,willbreatl>o clearly, and any horse so fod is always ready for a hard drive as he will not tlienfcfill himself as ho wouldon bay, aud rO compress tho action of the lungs by-crowding tho diaphragm against them. Six quarts of oats a day and oat straw have kept our horses in good condi­ tion and tho stallion and big oolt are fat, fed on oat straw and buckwheat bran; the former on nine quarts and tho latter on twelve. This is a cheap way to winter horses,and a most excellent way to utilize straw. An ncra of ground will go farther in this way than in moaduw, Poor and run-out spotsin meadows may bo turned over and sown with oats, and tho volume of available food will not be reduced, and they may bo re­ seeded at tbo same time. Bright timothy hay io the most substantial feed for horses and next to it, we like oat straw. Rye straw,cut short and fod with meal, is grand feed tor horses, and they will do as much work on this feed ns on any, but they must have plenty of meal, not less than twelve to sixteen quarts. Ryo straw has a mar­ ket value equal almost to hay, and honco both are costly feed, but oat straw is worth very little in market, and if it can be util­ ized for feed and eave more costly fodder, it is a good idea. Give the horses the oat­ straw and let the cows have tbo hay. If our horses worked hard, they would re­ quire more oats. Domestic Recipes.
