WHIsREY DID IT. --On Monday night, several emigrants, who are employed in Goderich township, were on their way home. from, the circus, on foot, having imbibed too freely, and when opposite Mr. John O, Elliott's, two of the -women got quarrelling, one striking the other with a bottle, cutting her face open from the eye td the chin. She was carried into Mr Elliott's, and a doctor summoned, but the wound bled so freely, that it was feared she would bleed. to death, The doctor sewed up the wound, .and the woman is now getting, better.. Information was laid against her assailant, and the matter will. be investigated to -day. Tan RAIN:-Thegenial rain of Sunday night and Monday has done an incalcu-. lable amount of good to grass, root crops , and fruit in the surrounding district. Now everything has flushed up, and with. a few day's growth the pastures will afford a' fair supply of grass, and a. sufficient quantity of water has.got'into the springs to tide -over auy scarcity that might er.- sue. The wheat land on hard clayseil. can now be got' into proper tilth ,for -sow- ing , operations; which have now com- menced- In some `parts.of is ;district; According to the- preparation, there will be a larger acreage of wheat sown in this district. than in any previous year. The' rain has added several millions of dollars to the wealth of the conotry, fnr e; wnpk;. . or so- more of dryweather would have • parched up everything badly. A Ctirr"roNr4ri ABRoAn.,=The London, England, correspondent of the Newcastle Courant; thus.refers to a' well-known. Chin- tonian:- ' Amongst the Colonial visitors at present in London Iknoiv of one gehtle• man who ought certainly to be interviewed by Mr., Samuel Smiles ; . and if this were done, we should' speedily`, have.a book al- • most as interesting as.'' The Life of Geo. Stephenson," •" Self -Help," or any other of Mr. Smiles' well-known popular books. The gentleman I allude to is a Mr. White. head, -a native of Darlington,. but'who. for many years 'has "resided in .Capada,:.and has, with some• •members of :his -family, - come over to see' the "old • country: Mr. Whitehead is one of the very few persons now living .who.: took a prominent part in the o,p,"ening of the:S�ockten and 'Darling- ton railway,.' and had the distinguished. honor of'firing the No.1locomotive that, .was.driv.en by George Stephenson. When ,quite a youth Mr. •Whitehead went out to. Canada, and by energy and skill- ho.lias made his Way in the world. Becoming a • railway contractor,, he had large contracts: connected with ;:the making of .the great Pacific Railway, and which he has lived to see completed. ' Ire ' has, therefore; taken a part in the first passenger railway of the world,. and also id'the greatest rail- way that was,ever made,", W II L NOT ,ACCEPT: 0 -Although at the recent Scott Act Convention q in Brussels,. Mr. . A. Govenlock, of Winthrop, 'signified his w,illi,ngness'to accept the'position:of Pollee Magistrate • for, .the East: biding; and arrangements :Were being closed up. for his appointment to tj}At,office, he has singe signified' his determination .not' .to. accept the position, • We do not know his reason forarrivingat this con..elusion, but. itis -one that -certainly' places the Scott Act people in• a very unfortunate position. Before ,consenting to accept it, he.should have given the matter:. mature. considera- tion, _ and this _,:would- have «avoided the complications that are likely to. arise now. • Another convention will be ,held 'at Brus- --•---•-----sels; •an-tbe-3- t-h-ta-take-action' in the matter. It is most certainly to he hoped. that If any one is to be named for the po- clition of Police Magistrate, that whoever'. it is will •have his mind fully •made.np•be- forehand: Mr Govenlock' doubtless had what he thought were rood ad�s nutficient -reasons for pursuing the course he has, :but such: things are not 'calculated to aid in securing any observance of the law.. After the discouragemerits the Scott .Act people htive'tnet with, it is a' wonder that they feel like working for temperance ad- varecement'at all, but it is mainly because they have faith in the Soundness of the principles they 'advocate. that.they,belieye in the ultimate success of"them. BAE,E HALL. -The Clinton .13.B:,C. drove • to Blyth, on Friday last, topay a game of base .ball, but instead: of Meeting. the Myth club, there were . u lion the diaond men two have playa in,Bluevale, Brus- sels and Seaforth, •or in other words. a county team: The eoatbinationWentriiret. to bat, and in the first innings earned six out of eight runs.; they being mostly left- handed batters drove ' the ball into -a, po- tato garden that occupied' the whole of right field, and the hills and hollows'of left field hid the fielder from view while fielding the ball. Notwithstanding the difficulties which our boys encountered` in playing on a back woods one and a -hal f acre field, .(which; by the way, Blyth ought to be ashamed of) they played an uphill game, and at the • close of the seventh innings the score was twenty to twenty -ode in favor of Blyth combination. Blyth then trade onerun, then refused to play any more, as they said it was too dark, which was not the case ; the umpire called the game in favor of Clinton, by a seore of 9 to 0, The kicking of the corn bination, duping the whole game, was' mote- to be compared to nine-year old school boys, than, to men:-- It commenced with the piteber and catcher disputing nearly every decision of the umpire, when he called 'balls and strikes, and the crowd that • could not tell whether they or t re • We will send the NEW ER.i to New Subscribers, for the Balanceof the Year, for 34.
