BARN Boaxnn,—Early on Thursday morning, 21st, ult., James Hincks, 14th con., went to the barn, as was his custom to feed stook, taking with him a lantern, which he set upon w barrel. on the barn floor. A ben flew from the mow 'to the floor, knocking the lantern over against the mower in ber flight. The fire came in contact with the straw and iustaubly all was ablaze.

SoosAn.—Thursday evening of last week a large company assembled at the reel. denim of Josiah Hewitt, of this village, where all were cordially welcomed by the obliging host and hostess. Tho cause of the concourse was a social under the ams- •picas of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Walton Presbyterian church, and the popularity of these social gatherings was fully established by the number of old and young who sat down to the tables, of which, to say that the spread was delici- ous and bountiful, would give but a faint conception. After the repast was con- cluded David Campbell was unanimously voted to the ()hair and a splendid program of music, readings, recitations and speech- es followed. Special mention, however, must be given to the address by the chairman, entitled, "The Bringing up of Children," in whioh, amidst a flow of wit and humor that kept the audience in roars of laughter, several timely and sen- sible hints as to the government of the young were given. Though much of the invariable success which attends Mr. Campbell's speeohes may be attributed to the inimitable manner in which they are delivered, yet a brief summary of this splendid address cannot fail to be of in- terest and benefit to those who read 31, and it is therefore appended. After a brief reference to the former chapter of this speech, given at R. H. Ferguson's, he introduced his subject with this satire, that those who have no children invari- ably consider themselves most capable of bringing up children, and then drew at- tention to the serious nature of his sub- ject, justly claiming that it is the most important duty of mankind. In a few graphic touches he drew the picture of the weak parents, who, imagining their offspring to be nothing short of angels, allow them to contract evil habits and vices, which cling to them in after life, bringing down the gray heads of those misguided parents in sorrow to the grave. Then followed a humorous description of the house divided against itself, showing the utter folly of one weak parent, who, when the stronger minded spouse decides that the use of the rod is indispensible, saves, by tears and clamor, the unfortun- ate though deserving child. To those who, loving their children, yet show not their love in a proper manner, he deliver- ed a strong and well -merited rebuke, warning them that the surest method of producing indifference to moral laws in the young was to show tligm no sympa- thy and love. 13Iu eva,lt,.
