A SAD SiTeTA0LE.---During the early part of this week, a man who appeared to be totally berefit of I reason was, rambling -up and down the streets, indulging in soliloquies, with- out the shadow of common sense, lectur- ing tojhose who gathered around him on all manner of subjects at the same timetand disordering things coming in his Way. From what he said, it might be inferred that he is recently from England, and by the general tone of his talk, he appeared to be the subject of a, religious inonamania. It isa pity that suer' unfortunate individuals, were not take ii in. charge in all cases, ° and put in some place of safe keeping at once; thus often preventing very sad - catastrophes to themselves and others. USBORNEt.. Jirom our ,Specia,1 Correspondent. • In general improvement; the Town- ship of Usborne is not behind any other section of the country with which we are acquainted. Every farm is not only occupied andclearedof all unne- cessary timber, but gives evideneeipf careful, cidtivation aud gleat produet • ivenest. in all parts of the Townehip the stumps • and other hindrances to thorough cultivation are rapidly disap- pearing, se that now reaping machines are in elmest universal use, where five years ago such implements were not, and ,coUld not, be employed. But a still more noticeable - evidence of im: provement and wealth is found in the -great nanaber of new boildirgs of vari- ous kiwis lately nompleted, or in course of erection: From almost any point, half a dozen new barns and dwelling heuses may be counted.. White briek seems to be the favourite material for building, though there are also some fine sone and frame houses. • In the midst of all this attention to private interests puolic improvements are net n.egiected. The roads as a gen- eral thing are in excellent condition for ti avel ; not only the public thorough- fanes, but also th e concessions by means- of statute labor, and judicious grants from the Council, have been to a large extent gravelled. Several large school heuses, brick, frame or stone, have been built "and are all furnished with the latest improvements. The Bible Christians have built a neat and commodious brick church on the Thames Road, provided with a basement and a furnace for heating, which is a great improvement on. the ordinaty method in the country of heating churches by means ca stoves. On the opposite cor- ner the Presbyterians have lately erect- • ed a very fine manse ; the building is two stoly and furnished throughout in first class style, at a costa' over r,000. Also the Wesleyns in Exeter, are building a Splendid church which will be, when completed, the fin -est edifice in this district. The wet season has delayed the work to some extent, but •the builders are now pushing it forward vigorously. CROPS,—The appearance of the crops in this Township is excellent. Har- vesting operations are now nearly cem- ,pleted. Fall wheat, which seems to be the staple, is a good crop, perhaps above the average.' .The.favorite kind seems to be the Treadwell. Oats are very heavy. Barley good, .but some- thinginjui ed ii. color by the rain. Peas are spoken of as a failure, seeming to ha,ve suffered more from the moisture than any other grain. Potatoes seem to be going very fa.s'.; with the rot; sortie say a third is. Oready gone. , If they continue to rot at tis rate very few will be left for another use. ON Friday last' at a threshina in Holmesville, another cf those frightful accidents so common to those engaged in atte ding thrashing machines occur- red. young man named Alexander Campbell, ' from . Glengarry, was at- tempilig to walk over the board cover- ing the cylinder, but ftorn is being thin it gave way and-precii itated him into the cylinder and completely destroyed his foot and lower part of his leg. Am- putation was performecll by Dr. MclVtur- chie, assisted by Dr..1-Reeve and the patient is gettingtea well. When will people leant calition in attendidg ma- chines'? But we snppose, it is the old story of familiarity breeding contempt: —New Era. •-•• • Fire. • On Wednesday hist about 4.0 o'clock D. rn. the car; -enters shop m connection with the building of the Catholie -Church, took fire, and so rapidly ,did the flames sp4ad that nothing scarcely was got out. 'One man named James Feeity made a desperate effort to secure hit tool chest, in doing which be Was overcoine by: the flames and smoke, and fell, happily however he was noticed and taken from his perilous condition. Several complete sets of tools were destroyed, SODA° money,- besides a quan- tity of clothing etc, and large quanti- ties of lumber. The loss .is not much short of $800 or $1,000. The origin of the fire does not appear to, be known. THE REV W. A. &IAA of the Oiltarie Conference, • brother of our esteemed townsman D. X. Siils, Esq., preathed an eloquent sermon in the Methodist Episcopal Church. on Sabbath evening last to a -large and attentive audience. from Rev. 3, chap. 12 V: "He that over conieth, etc, etc. ' The Rev. Gentleman dilating upon his subject, condenmed the comnano practice of professing Owls - tains of at tri bating their pride. covetous- ness, And corruptions'of the flesh to the influencd_of 'Satan, NS ben. they should blame t1eir owi urnegenerated heart. The christain should conquor and over- come their unruely passions, curb their desires, and bring their actions and thoughts into proper tubjection, to the examples as laid down in the Gospel. Want of space will not allow us t�give the full substance of his truly beautiful discoarse, such asthe foilowing "Tne glorious sight to behold three thousand children by a river side singing anth- ems to the Lprd, uniting their itnocent voices with the Angelic, Hosts of Heav- en, and their !songs of praise being taken up by the Heavenly choir of Ministen- ing spirits before the Throne of God, er• the anxiety of parents watching across the ocean for the coming ship which is to bring their children to their bosoni, how peat the joy at that happy re -union, but 'what tongue can express the intensity of joy ,of our departed friends on our reamiting with them in glory". Sufficient tosay that Mr. Sills' remarks vis full of beautiful pathos, which were listened to with marked at- tention, and we trust his remarkswill be as bread cast upon the waters; that will be gathered after many days. We understand that the Rev. gentlemat 's congregation, at Norham, just prior to his leaving on a`a extended tour to the Western States) presented him w ith purse sufficient to meet all expenses dur- ing his absence. --Com. . eta. - EXETER . - 01roln, our own, Correspondent.)

He was out shooting, andnot being satisfied with the charge that was in his gun, was proceeding to withdraw it, when from some unknown source it went off; carrying with it part of one of his fore- fingers Fortunately it did him no oth- er injury. - INIPROVEMENTS.--Sorne improvements are being made in the -Village this seas- on, a few very handsome dwelling house S are being built, and also, a large, Mick Wesleyan Methodist Church, which, when completed, will add con- siderably to the beauty of the village.
