HAUNTED Houen.—The special cc b. es appointed by reeve Ellwood in detatch- mauls of threes watched the house for ine successive nights, but could discover °thing. The reeve then came to the onclusion that the stories told by the ublic were myths. Two nights after the onstables had been withdrawn, as James leCosh, and his son Everard, were return• ng home aucl as they passed the haunted owe a never to be forgotten sight met heir gaze. The night was beautifully fine, he moon shone clear as day, the stars ere fo, th sparkling their prettiest, and he night was gloriously haedsorne not single cloud darkening she canopy of the etivens, and ell was as light as day in the nilchng. As they got opposite the door ley beard peculiar sounds and at onee topped all looked in, ancl to their our. rise saw a new top buggy lying ,p11 its side -Ali the uppermost wheels revolving like ghtning and emitting strange ;and harsh u eds.' r Mr. McCosh at once despatcheci s son Everard after John Dagg, the ker.

Immediately upon their entrenee the hind wheel of a llimber \vetoer detached itself and. commenced to race nurdly up and down the floor, jump- ing over buggies and wheelbarrows, and driving the athletes from the building; also killing the pop, greatly to the sorrow of the only orginallohn. In the space of a moment everything became perfeetly q niet and the largo crowd soon dispereed. At 12,20 as Wellington Hodgins and Tommy Dart eere returning !home in their meat wagon from.

As Dan lefeCosh was about 00 3105010>1 the stairs he Imppened to glance to the farthest cor- ner of the building, and there astridea rafter was the form of a man, and Daniel cried: Come forth though fiend, which attracted the attention of the crowd, Who' at once laid hold of the object and lifted i1. from its sitting posture, and at owe turned," the light upon it; and there to their amaze; ment discovered the familiar features of Couford Cousins11> a state of somnambul- limey.

He motion- ed for a bucket of water which was at (moo procured from Dreyer pip)), which he drained to the last drop. It, immediate- ly inserted a pin entoehins which caused re- suscitation. On gaining his senses he exclaimed: my lend! my laud 11 tiiy land 1 1! where am I? Jonathan and Pettey then came forward and took poseetssiontof it, and dispatched Aleck after the pertae ZulLeh• .

They captured about 32 pike, ranging from 4, feet to 5e- feet in length. These gentle- men usually are suacessful on their anuuel fishing excursion. They seem to prefer tough weather. We presume their success ie owing to long experienee us successful fishermen. On Monday last the Lutheran Sunday school children, accompanied by their parents, spent a yery pleasant day pic-nie- mentor, Billy McLeod. When the offieereeeng on the attore of Lake Huron in Mr. R. arrived Canford acknowledged'tt>atfoe' years he had been troubled with sleep- walking, and at one time had been the famous fire.king aud sleight of hand man with a travelling side show. He thinks that ha bad probably been practising his tricks in his sleep. The mysiery has therefore at last been explained and the haunted house is haunted no more, much to she joy of the owner, Mr. Dronght. Canford has now adopted a small boy to watch him at night. The hay crop has boon gathered in and wae fairly good. Fall wheat aud barley is ripening rapidly and the binder will soon be at work. Mr. Robert and Miss Annie Coates, of Loudon, spent Sunday nt home. A party intend pienieing on the shore of Lake Huron on Thursday.

The school holiday season is at hand and the ehilclren have thrown aside their books, slates, pencils, copy books, sec., and have constnencecl to put in a jolly good time, as children best know how, for the next six weeks. Miss Dunn and Miss Morrison have gone home, as also Mr. Latta, principal, and wife, to their parents at Ohiselhnrst, aud we can expect to hear ot a few big harvest stories on their return. Harvesting is the binding season, don't you know. For the past two weelte, Zurich anl vicinity has been infested by professional tramps. One of them in particular, went the rounds asking for money to purchase a wooden leg. He is au old time applicant, and professes to be an old soldier. This assertion we do not doubt, but as far as money for a wooden leg is concerned, leis appearance and conversation lead us to believe it is whiskey money he is after. Zurieh citizens are always willing to extend their aid to a charitable purpose, butien- posters, in tho shape of one -legged whiskey barrels and professional trampe rete, will be given a wide berth after this. On Elide,/ last what might have proved et very diresetrous fire was prevented at the Zurich bakery, by Mr. C. Eilber, proprie- tor, and others. It appears that where the lire meg:Dated the ,furnaee is only one brick thick, and the woodwork enclosing is almost tonching the furnace The brielc- work got so hot as to iguite the wood which WRS soon in a blaze, and was first discovered by Mr. S. Gottchalk. Mr. Elber had only left the oven a short time previ'Onsly. If timely assistance hal not arrived, the greater part of our village, wcaild bave been laid itt ashes, as the bakery is situated almost iu a block of frame buildings. When we nonsider tho havoc a fire could make with a high wind, amongst a lot of frame building, it ought to open the eyes of our citizens to the fact that in stieh 33 ease, oar fire protection would not amount to e roll of pins. If all the water and pile in the Yillege Were brought into requisition, and mon' to use them, it would avail nothing it Ruch a conflagration should happen, De: none too soon to look alter fire protection for our village, and it would be money well spout if we had a good engine and water supply. It i; quite poesible to raise the money by subseription and our merchtmte and tredeetnen ahoald only be too willing to sebscribe for suali 13 051180. 141 4-.4 Ba,bsdon Line Dots.

Every person with- in the riding knows : that some he hound- ed out of the county, and others were let go scot free. Secondly, he says that the temperance party met twice at the soliel- tations of Mr. Bishop,:and recomended N`1,1e Sprague. Does any eeesonable person consider Arehey such a blockhead as to re- commend Mr. Sprague to the Government as the choice of such holeetnd corner meet ings as those held at Exeter and Hensel'? All .told there were about 19 voters at Hensel' and these :teem:teed the audacious- ness to dictate to Mr. Bishop and the gov- ernment as to whom they should appoint. Mr. Bishop never said he would see that a man so recommended would be appointed. Thirdly, he says the government and Mrs Bishop promised Mr. Sprague the appoint- ment owing to his being a good officer. As far as Mr Sprague's abilities as Inspector go, the public have only to guage him by his past record ; and in my opinion it is such a record as will stand but little chal- lenging, notably his prosecution of the functions of the Scott Act. Indeed, as far as his administering justice to a British public he lacks ability. Fourthly, lie says Kr Sprague was dismissed. In the name of common sense what ignorance "Temper ance First" does display. Mr Sprague was not appointed under the liquor lieenee Act of Ontario, consequently his clismissal as Inspector under the Scott Aet was un- necessary ; he was diemissed by the intel- ligent public of Soeth Huron on the 19th April last. .Appointments aza dismissals ere not brought about as easily as 'Tem- perance 1st "-imagines ; nor perhaps not es fast as he despatches business. He says that these meetings were called at • the suggestion of Mr. Bishop, and that Mr Bishop was present ; and that, after hie , leading the temperance vote around by the nose as long al suite(7 his purpose, ha de- serts them ; all of which exceeded in treachery the acts of any politician' he ever knew. "Temperance lst" bi. tb.e last sentence displaps enough: ignorance to qualify him for President of the Ontario Lime 'Kiln Club, or leadeieof a Ztfu Gev- ernment. Ile must be very easily led by the nose, and I think he should throvv off that cloak he assumes to -wear, as he is- ae disgrece to it. At the temperanee 11304- ing-held in Exeter, before the lad loeal elections, Mr. Bishop was present to give an account of himself, and announcecll what he intended doing ba, the future. And this is what we find him saying: "Gentlemen, when I want a drink I do not go in by the beck door, but go in by the front,:walk up to the bar, take a drink like a man nerd pay for it." And after his election what did he say at a temperance meeting in Exeter ? ; " G.entlernen, at the last election You made me ride the whiskey horse and you know how well I got there." This does 000look like lead- ing the temperance voters arouncl_ by the nose, aud if 'Temperance 1st" wes.so led, it was not necessary to have him attached with cable, as an ordinary spider web wont(' have answered the purpose.
