Tum ,Truuaaanr.—We have been favored with a copy of the evening Telegram, publish- ed ni Toronto by J. Ross Robertson. The Telegram is only about five years of age, but during that short period it has earned a name and attained a position in the journalistic world. Its news columns are always full and readable. But the most interesting part of the paper is its editorial and selected columns. Its articles are written in a moderate, iude• pendent tone. In polities it has uo favorites, judging all men and measures solely on their merits. Its expressions on most public ques- tions Fare singularly hurmonious with unfet- tered public sentiment. The Telegram is now printed on a Scott Perfecting Press, whioh is capable of running off 30,000 copies per hour, and is said to be the best machine in use in Canada. Our spirited" onntemporary deserves the success whioh it has achieved. We wish it continued prosperity. TAOSLING A "TRAMP.—A few days ago Reeve Hardy, of Exeter, had an interesting interview kith a tramp who applied at his house early iu the morning for assistance. The: Reeve an- swered the man at once, and wanted to know if he could not get work, which of course he could not. Mr. Hardy tola hien there was pletrty of harvesting to do about the country, and said he could not give him any assistance. The anan then wanted his breakfast, but the Reeve was unyielding in his refusal to countenance his laziness in any way,when the sturdy traamp grew noisy. At this the Reeve's Irish was aroused, and taking the man by the scoff of the neck .;he landed him upon ;the road, bdidiug him to continue his tramp. The fSl1ow vowed he would have vengeance, and is going to priblish oar muscular Reeve as far as Jerusalem, i f .Iris legs bold out long enough to take him thew. All such characters should be that; Bummrtirily disposed of, and the tramp nuisance would soon abate for want of popular appreciation.

Sitio C;,at tune Mr. McClelland bus been book-keeper for Mr. Samos Pickard. Several years ago Mr. IeIoOlelloud had a severe attack of sickness whioh left him crippled in both legs. The disease under which he had Leen prostrated could never be thoroughly driven out of his 9yetem, A few weeks ago it showed itself afresh, and Mr. McClelland was obliged to take tohies be& from, which he never was permitrfted to move until placed in his coffin. All,';aat medical skill could suggest was doue, but it could not save his life, aed en Saturday morning last, about eight o'olook, he peacefully passed away, surrounded by his parents and brother and sisters, who had been hastily telegrt.phed for when it became appar- ent to his medioal attendant that he ooulct not long survive, The remains were taken by hearse to St. Marys in the afternoon, where the evening train was taken fur Georgetdwn, near which place he was buried on Sunday. During the stay of the deceased in Exeaer he made a huge circle, of friends by his unvarying kindness and geniality of disposition.

Exeter, February 19, 1850, 0m, On 'Saturday nitrt,t some miscreant perpetrated a very mean set at Walton.. On the 11th of June the corner stone e St. George's Church was leid %vitt Masonic honors, wine and other docu- ments being put therein, and on the night in question this stone was broken in pieces, and the articles of value tak- en therefrom. There is Do trace as iii the perpetrator of the act. On Sunday night of last week e.little child of Mr. Thornton Wallace, eel the 7th conoeesion of _Hellett, was attached by a rat while sleeping with its mother. It appeare that during the night it cried out several times,and the mother,never suspecting the cause of its restlessnesse and not knowing what was the cause 'ef its crying, endeavored to hneb it to sleep, but it would not be comforted, and. Mrs. Wallace got up and lighted a lamp, where elle was startled to see the child's face and head covered with blood, This was at once washed off, when the teeth marks of the rodent were found on the forehead and skull., It is presumed that had it not been disturbed, the rat mould have iufiiotea serious injury on the ebiid. Last week as Mr. Frazer of the L concession of Stanley, wive proceeding along the road on his way to rake fall wheat ground, with a sulky rake, he was by some meas,e tltrowu off on the road. The horse was seen by his e:in Thomas, coming along ties road with- out the rake, and ho irnhnediately set of in search for hies father. Wheel fund, be was :yiug on the road insens- ible, with cute on the head and brteisec ou the body. He was taken Ilome,anrll., although he remained insensible for some time, he Is now slowly recover- ing. A few days since, Messrs. Hodgine and White, two of a party who haft been oampina alongside theirelsitlandi river, tear Taylors corners, had a very narrow escape from death. It appears that in the source of their ramblings in the neighborhood, the party carne to an immense ,pile of driftwood, togs, &o, heaped_ up promiscuously alongside c, the water, and it occurred to them than it would be a good thing tc get some, of the logs into the river. They at once set to wock,aud after considerable labor, succeeded in getting a large one in position for eliding into the water, but as it moved, it violently struck two other against whioh Mr, Hodgine was leasing, throwing him invent! feet into the ait', he falling on his back across a•fars,o timber, and the first log pin... ning Mr. White beneath it. For a moment it woe thought tiseat both owe killed, but it ,vas fowtrdl Haat the at ter was rollout, the Ing groesiui bi shontder and belaricing an unnther log. which .alone saved Itis fife ; the former was not tquite so fortunate, as lie eeve4r- ly sprained his wrist, and sustained a severe shook to hiss system, brit we alta pleased to say that he is pow .tittle 11.e worse of the accident, 'Both of these percent voott to lieve charmed lives, ass each listve lt:tri It .'r,nti narrow from death. 9
