Other people may go to Burope, or Asko
or Africa -to Paris, to Palestine or Tiso-
buotoo-mod let their buainesy take
care of itself, but for us, we are compell-
ed by a destiny, (we won't say crud,) to
sit in our sanctum, and not only keep s1
eye on our own basins, but occasionally
to carefully scan the affairs of other peo-
ple. But why enlarge upon this subject?
You all know )bat we enjoy our sphere
of usefulness ; that we wouldn't change
said sphere under any conaideration,any
more than 'would Josiah Allen's wife ;
that we'll be ftsithfd to our old editorial
tripod until, until --well, until we find a
more congenial occupation, which, by the
same token, we don't think exists this
side of the happy hunting grounds, or
soma other equally favored locality. We
nave our work to do, and that work is
right here. Others may find employ-
ment
mployment gadding around all over creation
looking after happiness, which, like a
"Will-o'-the-wisp," is ever in sight but
never within reach, but none of that
for us. Rather give us the tried
and true old grey goose -quill, place our
trusty inkbottle within reach by easy
motion, and lay our never -failing allies,
the shears and paste pot gently beside
us. Give us the good deeds of our
neighbors to rejoice over, the bad acts to
censure, and the afflictions of those who
are sorely beset to sympathize with, and
we are willing to du our duty in the pre-
inisea, as best we can. So, tempt us not
from the path of right by allurements
and pleasure hunting ; suffer us not to
pit bezeuse of deep depression or weak-
ening of power ; lead us not from our
chosen path by cheap excursion rates,
bright skies, beautiful sceuery, or other
• bewitchment., which clasp so many at
this joyous session, and will no: be loosed
until the holiday trip is indulged in.
Somebody has to stay home and keep
things right when the rest of the folk go
travelling. And that's why we remain
on the home guard. It isn't because we
are too poor to trsrel, as some of our
slanderous 000teceporaries w ,u1.1 have
you believe.

McLean was parsed by McCullough,
who kept up a Lightning spin until about
half -way down the home stretch when,
finding himself some 10 or 15 yards
ahead of his opponent, he lifted his feet
off the pedals and allowed the machine
to come at its own sweet wi11. This dim
play nearly east him the mw, for Mc-
Lean bore right unto him, until McCul-
lough, discovering that it would not du
to trifle with an opponent like Harry,
again took to propelling, and shot over
tho score amid loud cheer, with Mc-
Lean second, and Cox third. At the
close a number of the crowd contended
that seven Laps had been run, while
others held an adverse view. It was •
clear case of being at "sixes and sevens"
on the matter, hut the judges unani-
mously decided that only the six laps
had been run.
In the mile -race there were four en-
tries : Cox, McLean. MoCullough and
Vidal. McLean led in 'Very lap with
Cox second and McCullough and Vida
m the rear, and " quitters' on the se-
cond hp,'
In the slow race, the competitors were
McCullough, Cox and Coleman. The
arrangement was that the man who
crosses' the winning score last without
dismounting, would receive the prize.
This race was slower than a funeral pro-
cession. By Hamilton street Cox and
Coleman were forced off, and McCul-
lough also dropped before croaaing the
score. This negessitated a second heat
in which all three riders cement grist by
having to dismount. In the third heat
McCullough was the only wheelman who
kept bis saddle, and; crossed the line
amid the plaudits of the spectators.

only do their part. nothing will stand in

Trees swayed threateningly, hats and

he engaged in the stud of law and be-
came an attorney and

with much success. By that means and
su.cessful speculations in shipping, he
became wealthy and turned his attention
to politica, being elected for the county
of Westmoreland, which he represented
continuously from his first election
twenty-five years ago, until the general
election of last year. When the confed-

he opposed it vigorously, and at the gene-

however, only lasted until April, ,18 66

on our streets this morning for some
time, wee the misfortune which has
befell the steamer Spartan of the Owen
Found Line. It will be remembered
Oust she left here 013 Monday moving
the 18th ins), about ten o'clock for the
east. Upon hearing the news we en
deavored to find out the true state of
affairs, and learned the following facts
from one of the passengers who was on
board the unfortsnate boat, but was
brought back to this port last night by
the Acadia, with tem others. He says
that a thick fog was on the lake during
the night, and the boat blew her fog
whistle about every five or ten minutes,
but it appears she was running about
fourteen miles an hour, when she ran on
a reef -of rock, about two o'cldbk Tues-
day morning, on the west end of Caraboo
Island, which is about one hundred miles
from Sault Ste. Marie,on Lake Superior,
and was going at such a speed that she
wu driven the full length of herself on
the rock. in about six feet of water, and
her hold was soon filled. On Tuesday
morning the first mate and a number of
deck hands started for Whitefish Point,
in one of the life boats to get a wreaking
tug to come to her assistance. The wind,
on Tuesday was pretty strong, and it is
said that waveestrvek against the stran3-
ed Islet with such fora that she was bad-
ly stranded, and trembled from one end
to the other as each wave struck her.
The water guards were torn away, and
the cabin floor and the state rooms brok-
en through from the severity of the
wares. It is thought that if she (•taken
off it will not be accomplished without a
good deal of trouble, and it is feared also
that her bottom is badly damaged, and
some are of the opinion that by the time
she is got off she will be almost $ wreck.
The purser of the Spartan it is said act-
ed very shabbily towards the passenger's
who were on board. He neither refund-
ed their passage money nor made any
arrangements with the offrciala of the
Asada, who took them off the attended
vessel, leaving them to make the best of
their awksrd situation ; but they pro-
pose it possible tq recover the money
they paid for their fare.

`LATER
While at Sault Ste. Marie Sunday
afternoon • Herald reporter halon inter-
view with Mr. Wagoner, 1st mate of the
steamer Spartan, which wu stranded on
Cariboo Inland last Tuesday. The mate
arrived at the Sault on Friday night in
an open boat, after putting in a very
rough time. He thought several times
he and his (nen would be wrecked, but
better fate was in store for theme Im-
mediately upon arrival he telegraphed to
headquarters for diver, steam pump.,
and all the apparatus necessary for the
arising and putting in proper shape.
The Spartan has a large hole in her hull
and is filled with water. It was thought
that wind of Sunday night would weber
up pretty badly, as it was blowing *roes
the lake in that direction. Theroba-
bility is that she is wreclted complitely.
The wrecking t was expected to arrive
at the Sault on Monday morning, and in
all probability assistance has reached her
by this time. A number of the passeng-
ers went down by the Csmpana. Even
if they succeed in raising her it will be
some time before she will be repaired
and ready for commission again. This
new Owen Sound line have been very
unfortunate, both of their steamers hav-
ing been grounded.
At Chador, Ill. ,Pit. Mary's levee broke
Sunday night. and 8t Mary's bottom, a
large wheat -raising region, was flooded.
Twenty thousand acres of wheat are
under water on this bottom alone.
