We regret to learn that some of the
members of Mr. Thos. Anderson's lam -
Vare prostrated with the acarletina.
e hope to soon hear uf their recovery.
Rev. Jae Caswell and lady, left on
Monday to spend a few diva at the
Grimsby Camp Grounds. Mr. Caswell
will also attend a Holism" Convention
at London. We wish them a pleasant
trip.
We understand that Rev. R. W.
Leitch, the much esteemed pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, here, has received
a call from his former pastorate, near
Kingston. We should be very sorry to
tom him here
We feel it a painful duty to chronicle
the death of Wm. Durnin, son of Wm.
Durnin, Esq., Treasurer of the Town-
ship of West Wawanoeh, which occurred
on Sabbath last,at his father's residence.
Inflammation was the immediate cause
of death, though deceased had been ail-
ing for some time. He was in the vil-
lage just three days before hie death,
seemingly in his usual health and spirits,
and the startling effect with which the
news of his death was received may be
imagined. He was a youth of temper-
ate habits, respected and esteemed by
those who knew him, and general sur-
rey is expressed et his untimely removal.
The friendly sympathies of the commuo-
ity extends to tho sorrowing relatives in
the sad and aim ••: unexpected bereave-
ment that has fallen upon them. Thefune-
ral took place frem the family residence
on Monday afternoon, to the Dungannon
cemetery. An imnienee concourse of
friends turned out to do respect to the
remains ef clemaaell, nearly eighty ve-
hicles being counted in the procession. -

way ahead, which ',gelation he kept until
the clues, thus winning I/sheet by about

official time, taken by Mr. C. R. Cooper,
of Brume's, for the winning horse, was
as follows: First beat, 3.181; second,
3.16; third, 3.17. Thus the much talk-
ed of race ia • thing of the past now,
and Clear Grit stock has gone up a peg.
During the oourse of the race the great-
est excitement prevailed, each side urg-
ing its favorite to the utmost. During
the interval' of the heats Little Billy, of
Brantford, the winner of the free -to -all -
trot, and the property of Mr. Hodgina,
of that city, gave exhibitions of hi.

immensely. He belongs to the Clear

The Lower Clamors.
Who are they ? The toiling millions,
the labouring man and woman, the far-
mer, the mechanic, the artisan, the in-
ventor, the producer? Far from it.
These are nature's nobility. No matter
if they are high or low in station, rich or
poor in pelf, conspicuous :or humble in
position, they are surely upper circles in
the order of nature, whatever the ficti-
tious distinctions of society, fashionable
or unfashionable, deem. It is not low,
it is the highest duty, privilege and
pleasure for the great man and high
eouled woman to earn what they possess,
to work their own way through life, to
be the architects of their own fortunes.
Some may rank tho classes we have al-
luded
to as only • relatively low, and, in I
fact, the middling classes. We insist
they are absolutely the very highest. If
there be a clam of human beings on
earth who may he properly denominated
low, it is that class who spend without
earning:who' consume without produc-
ing, who dissipate on the earning'. of
their fathers or relatives, without being
anything in or of themselves. -The Me-

New Yoite, Aug. 23. -Shark cat ohing
was begun yesterday in the East River.
Capt. Jack Sullivan argued that the Ful-
ton Market fishmongers threw away
enough dead fish in their dock at Pier 22
to attract EA many sharks as the refuse
from Weahington Market on the North
River, so he baited • steel hook with
porgies, sat and kicked his heels on the
edge of the pier next to Fuiton Ferry on
the north, and waited. Suddenly he was
nearly yanked into the water by • bite.
Men ran to the rescue and wound the
line around a .pile. The fish churned
the water like a propeller as it was haul-
ed in little by little. When it was pull-
ed nearer to the pier, the likeness to the
motion of a propeller was startling. Lift-
ed to the pier it was found to be a Kee
monster unknown to any fishermen in the
nuirket. It has a shert, flat and thick
body, and its tail is no tail at all
to speak of. It is simply that part of
the hody opposite the head, and it haa
big scallops, like in form to those on a
MOLASSES cookie. There are only two
fins, and when they are extended the
distance front tip to tip is nearly aa great
as that from head to tail. The queerest
part of the fish it it, head. The profile
resembles that of an old man. The nose
it that of a high live, the mouth is that
of a little old man, and the eye is that of
an oz. The akin is gray, and it feela to
the finger like sand paper. The fish is
over six feet long, and it weighs nearly
200 pounds. Mr. R. B. Roisevelt aid
Mr. E. G. Blackfore saw the tier. and
were of the opinion that it resembles the
Mediterranean sunfish, and is an entire
stranger in these waters.
THE TOMATO CROP IMPERILLED. -To

general decay sets in. The tomatoes
