Some time ago, the house of widow Coulter, on Lot 41, 8th Con,, East Wawanosh, was consumed by fire.,By order of the Township Council, C. ait Scott, Esq., Coroner, held an inquest and after, a patient hearing of fourteen witnesses on the 6tli inst., the jury re- turned a verdict that ` the fire was incendiary. Thele were ' strong sus- picions as to the guilty party but not 'sufficient to prosecute. It is a& pity that it - could not be ferretted taut. Yew Era. tVANDELis-M.-0n Sunday last a la- bouring man named Beard hired a horse and buggy of Mr: Winters to attend church in Trishtown in company with his wife and children.. Whilst clngaged in Divine worship some godless vandel untied his horse ; it turning short up- set the buggy, took fright and ran to- wards Seaforth, making "smithereens" of the buggy. The ruffian was seen at his fell work and is well known. BEY. Morley Puhshon will preach the dedication sermons, morning and evening, at the opening of the' new W. M.

The Clinton Salt well is taxed to the utmost to supply the demand, although turning out about 500 barrels a week. Orders come in faster than they can be filled. The same is true of the wells ,at Goderic;h, where several ves- sels are loading. Platt's new patent for evaporating the! brine gives great satisfaction. -Hew Era. HUGH LOVE Esq., of the Township of Hay, has perhaps one of the finest crops of Oats in the Province. The straw is about as thick as tit can well be on the ground, and a stock that appear- ed to be a fair specimen of the whole, had ahead of one hundred and thirty- five grains. It is an English veriety, recently imported. SONS OF '.TEMPERANCE. -We are told that a movement is on foot for organiz- ing a "Division" in Seaforth. The reas- ons set forth by its promoters, being that the "Temple" has lost its influence, many of its founders having withdrawn, as they dissaprove of the conduct of a number of .the young members who, it is stated, act as though lodge meetings were only a time for_ amusement. We know nothing of the merits of the case. TIM Harvest, with the exception of Oats and Peas, is about completed through this section of the country, and in. many directions the hum of thresh- ing machines mayl be already heard. So far as we have yet gained information Fall Wheat has vielcled from 22 to 35 bushels per acre. In many cases we are told the sample is badly shrunk. ABscoND>D.-One W. Reeves, late of Brantford, who has for some time been employed on the Catholic Church, took the early train on Tuesday morn- ing last, forgetting to refund some bor- rowed -money that he had of his em- ployer's, and to pay his douse rent. He is an old soldier and it is possible that this draw not be, his' first desertion. " SOME YOTATOEs'"--Mr,- W. 'Walk- er of Roxburgh has shown us a very fine specimen of the Early Rose" potatoe. From two pounds of seed he slug 195 pounds, or three bushels and a peck by measurinent, besides having taken up some for domestic use while they were growing. The quantity of ground occu- pied was 1 rod and 3 yards. The single potatoes weighed from eight to eighteen ounces. It will be observed that this is : anincrease of nearly two thousand per cent. We very much doubt wheth- er this can be beaten in the Province. SHOOTING ACCIDENT. -'One day last week a young man, -of this place nam- ed George Andrews .fired a gun at some quails, and as the weapon contained a flaw which he had not observed, it ex- ploded with the discharge, driving out the breech and shivering the stock into- shreds. ntoshreds. Happily Andrews escaped with an injury of one hand, whereby he lost two fingers to the first joint. YESTERDAY a man named Glover, while getting ever afence with a scythe, fell on' it, by i eason of the ton rail breaking under him. A wound of some three or four niches was inflicted upon the elbow, cutting to the bone. The gash bled profusely, but he repair- ed to the office of Dr. Tracy, where it was dressed, and the probability is that it will not result seriously beyond a considerable loss of time. Horse Stealing. As we mentioned in last week's issue at the time of going to press, an Indian lad named - Powlis-was in court, sus- pected of stealing a horse, which he was offering for sale in the streets, As he represented himself being from Brant- ford, D. L. Sills Esq., J. P., placed him- self in communication with the auth- orities of that town, and on Saturday an answer was received to the effect that, the. horse detained and another had been stolen from the neighborhood by a couple of Indians, Powlis and Hill, - but from sympathy expressed by the public, the magistrate had, in the meantime, let the Indian off on his recognizence, but detained the horse, and when wanted the thief had escaped. The other horse had been sold to a man named Carpenter, a Hotel keeper in Carronbrook, and his conduct in con- nection with the matter was quite dis- reputable, but from the firm stand ta- ken by our respected Justice, he found that in order to save himself from a criminal action he must = gave up the horse. The thieves are supposed to have gone b Saugeen. INTIMATION. - Colonel Naultain, Agent of the French Canadian Mission, will (D.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. -On Satur- day night last about 12 o'clock, an attempt was made by a couple of men to rob the house of John Cart - et. of this town. Some one of the family hearing a noise, got up and dis- covered the . parties endeavoring to gain admission by a window, but tak- ing alarm. speedily :;decamped. Un- doubtedly there are a number of very q uestionable looking characters about the village, and we think our authorities would be justified in giving the " Va- grancy Act" an experiment in those cases. THE ILLUSTRATED ILLUSTRATED ANNUAL OF PHRE- NOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY for 1870 has been received from the publisher, It is a little work that should be seem ed by every student of Human Nature, nay, more, by every individual who has to get through the world by dealing with. his fellow man.

S. R. Wells Pub- lisher New York. REV. Walter Inglis gave a conversa- tional lecture in* the Presbyterian church, on. Monday evening, for the edification of the children, in which the Rev. Gentleman narrated his ad ven- tures in the wilds of Africa, his con- nection with the celebrated African Ex- plorer Dr. Livingstone, the modes of dis- embarkation at the Cape of Good Hope, encounters with lions and Hottentots. His imitation of Hottentot gutterala, discription of the lion -nobility and meanness -and his quaint and original renu;rks provoked not only the apprecia- tion of the young but of old children also. Mr. George Cline presided at the melodeon, assisted by his ,juvenile choir. Dr. - Campbell with a. few per- tinent remarks moved a vote of thanks to the Rev. Mr. Inglis for his very edi- fying and amusing disco urse. Obituary. MARRIED. FIELD-FLANNIGAN. -By the Rev. S. Wil- liamson, at the M. E.
