Bennecun,--The youthful Hun tben ap- peared an the pletform witia his trained doe, Piocilo John, and gave a pleasing ex- hibition, going through several difficult manoevres, The one which attracted the most attention being the imiation of a ne- gro-enting coon. At the conclusion of his performance Hun was loudly applauded, as well as being liberally awarded with aev- eral pennies, The tall gaunt form of the notorious Bertha then arose and in a voice like the rasping of a eircular saw spinning through hemlock knots. sang "The old man is home again," at which Alymer appeared to get very angry. Aunt Jane then gave a breezy salvation address, which was only tolerated by the impatient coons on aoeount of Aunt Jane's age and respectability. Dur- ing the address Bertha and the Lynch strolled off to the oraskiits of the groove, and after engaging in an animated discus - soon as to the merits of their respecti-ve sweet -hearts, fie w at each other's throats and fought like feline devils, and had it not have been for the tiinely, interferenee of Old Calamity, the beauty of them both would have been spoiled for all the time to come. The band then rendered' "From Greenland's Icy Mountains, from Africa's Coral Strand, after which Mosses was ushered on to the platform, followedby the Sawed.off, both in their bare feet. Mosses had his pants tied above his knees with bag strings. The' Sawed-off was decorated with various colors of flying, ribbons. She wore an immense sunflower, and looked too utterly utter for anything. Professor Blubberroad then softly touobed his guitar and the two commenced a sand jig. They danced, They skipped, ' they hopped, and the crowd fairly went wild with enthusiasm, About this time a carry -all arrived from Exeter driven by George Eaorett, contain- ing Wesley Hawkshaw, Tommy Oke, Leaky Tait, James Neil, John Parsons, Ed. Bis- sett, Al. McDonald, John Hyndman and Al. Hastings, who had never seen a barbe- oue, and understanding one was to be held this day in Lucian, donned their Sunday clothes, and arrive i not only in time to see the barbecue°, but to see a little civilization, they being deprived of that commodity the far north. They were welcomed by Old Calamity, who at onoe escorted them to the camp kettle and introduced them to its contents of yellow dog broth, leaving them in charge of Old Aunt Jane. She treated them to a lengthy discourse on the evils of alcohol, after which they were al- lowed to wander at will, and by the sweet shines which shone from their handsome mugs they seemed to be completely at home. Ar. about this time a great ()mime - tion was caused by Aunt Jane being seized with one of her sudden attacks of strong weakness, which fortuuately terminated in the band playing "Get away from dat win- dow Chile, I see you hiding dar.' The picanne Williem Asia Butler then ascended the platform, and in a fresh and silvery voice reeited the following ode :— "My Aunt Sal was a happy old Gal, And a happy old Gal was she; She could stand on her head On a large loaf of bread, And ohew gnm like all gee whee. She wears a number 8 boot, Has a foot like a root, Her waist it is slender and taper, But shhevaBtitaw10asin t omftime e WicliIw Kas she don't take de Exetor paper. She struck on a fellow With a head quite mellow, And a nose that turns up to the sky, And she says old boy Ain't I a sweet toy, Will you marry Itte in the sweet bye -and [bye? You are voluptuous and fat And wear a plug hat; Your 1001 15 the shape of a ham, You wear paper collars and jew store [clothes; You're a ducky, a du:2*Rn, a lamb. A voice was then heard like the rumbling noise of muffled thunder, calling "Calami- ty ! Calamity I Come Forth ! A Speech 1" Calamity scrambled to tho platform, spit- ting out a theca of cotton batting,whieh he bad in a hollsw tooth, and coughing twice to clear his throat. exclaimed : "Gemmen and ladies, and white folks from Exeter," but Calemity was here interrupted by to arrival of Pat. Curtain's stage trom Adam Noticeable among the passengers were Tom Hodgins, eentralia . Batt. Cotighlin, Ste- phen ; Alex. McFalls, Wm. Reyington and Aunt Ellen's George, Biddulph: The Adair stage had just discharged her °ergo when Christie Webb's stage arrived from Granton, containing Doctor Laing, Thos. Culbert, Billy Bains and Sideroad Jim, Calamity again started his speech. "Gem - men and ladies and white folks from Exe- ter and promiscuous places.

Both the wagon and harness are completely ruined. What their motive was no rale seems to know, as Mr. Carrigan isi quiet and inoffensive man, and is on good terms with all his neighbors. The same parties, it is supposed, then visited the house of Paddy Barnettea recent arrival from Ireland, and broke in his door and windows. The reason given for tho aot was, because the emigrant refused te drink out of a bottle some one handed through the window, It is to be hoped that the old reign of terror is not to be again adopted in Biddulph.

Medical aid was of no use to atop the dreaded disease, which finally ended ' his life on Saturday night.

After living in Zurich for some time he moved to a farm on the fourteenth concession cf Hay and from there to another farm a mile south of Dashwood. A year or two ago he sold his teem and wont into Dashweod to reside. Here he had things comfortably fixed till sickness overtook him and tetmin- ated his career.
