ON Tuesday. last, while a man, named Hoofer,
of Wroxeter, was endeavoring to turn a cow, she
attacked him 'with her horns. - One of , the horns
entered the lower part of his body, passing up-
wards, through the abdomen, sometwelve inches.
Being a powerful man, he at once seized the ani-
mal by the head, and endeavored. to force back
the horn. While thus engaged, the cow thrusted
it _ through the integuments, about midway -be-
tween the point of entrance and the extent of the
wound, and. with one. sudden lift, tore through the
interys ning flesh, thus leav ing a gash of six inches. -
The medical attendants entertain hopes that the
intestines are not perforated, awl though the in-
jury is very severe, there is no doubt of his re-
covery.

AN ERRING DIVINE. -The Mitchell Advocate is
sorry to say that the conduct of a certain yelling
man, who ha,s held conneetion with the ministry for
nearly two years, has been such as to warrant the
Chairman of the Distict irt,"onrelling him,"or,
rather, suspending him until the next meeting of
Conference. {Up to a late date he was looked
-upon as one of the most pious of young men, and
the active and 'apparently zealous part which he
took in revival meetings lately held in the church
of which he was the junior minister, won for him
the highest respect of all well people.
Pols-lie surprise may well be imegined, therefore,
on hearing of a most grievous and scandalous of-
fence being laid_ at his door. Dame Rumor charged,
him with keeping the company of a girl whose
character issaid to be not of very good repute,
and, even after epprised of the girl's true stand-
ing in society; with remaining over night on more
than one oc6asion with this same damsel, and with
driving miles out of his way to pass by where the
charmer of his affections lived. An investigation
was at once made; whieh resulted in the convic-
tion of the young "divine."
murder of Thomas Scott, a British subject and a
Canadian Volunteer, at Fort Garry, Red River,
and we hereby urge our Government to take im-
mediate and energeticeteps to vindicate the hon-
or of Canada, by visiting the guilty parties with
that condign punishment Which their atrocious
act se richly deserve,."
ess Dr. Cemplaell, in seconding the resolution, did
so in an eloquent and enthusiastic manlier ; giv-
ing a succinct history of the Red River difficulty.
The resolution was further suppoited in short
speeches frora Pr. Coleman and others, and em-
anamously carried. The following resolution was
then introduced by some apt remarks from the
mover :
"Moved by Dr. Coleman, seconded by Thos.
Stevens: That this raeeting view with pleasure
that an-iinmecliate 'endeavour will be imade by
the Government to relieve the Red River Settle-
ment from the control. of Riel and his party, and
we hope that the Government will give perman-
ent grants of land to the volunteers, who may
wish to reside there, as well as their regular pay,
after the rebellion is put down."
This resolution was unanamously adopted. It
peas resolved that copies of those resolutions be
forwarded to the Representatives -of Thiron, in
the Dominion Parliament. The usual formal
votes Were then passed, and the. meeting dis-
persed. :
Rev. Mr. Goldsmith's Lecture.
The Rev. T. Goldsmith, of Hamilton, delivered -
ture in the Canada Presbyterian Church, on
ring -of Monday last. The subject was :---

The Chair was occu ied by the Rev. Mr. Barr,
of Harpurhey, who, a er readinga chapter of
Scripture, and the singin of a .ParaphraSe, and
the offering of prayer by t e Rev. Mr. Graham,
introduced the
REV. MR: GOLDSMITH,- Who, upon coming for-
ward, said, the subject upon w ieh he purposed
speaking, was a most comprehensi e one, sweep-
ing as it did, over Such a wide su ace, and he
would content himself by merely lay' held of a
few of the salient points, and fixing ttention
yet e with.the love of God in their hearts, and. His
Word in their hands, and 'kings turn pale at their
a,pproaxl, and savage life lifts its eye to the cross.
The Rev. lecturer went on at considerable length,
and in a most eloquent manner, to show the ad-
vancement which arts and sciences, and improve-
ments of every kind had made in all countries
after the gospel had been introduced, and showed
the baneful results which all modern inventions,
euch as steam, &c., wouldhave had upon the wel-
fare of the people had they come before we were
prepared to receive them.by the ameliorating in-
fluences; of__ the Bible. He also attributed the
rapid spread of the gospel, mainly to the success-
ful efforts which Great Britain had been prompted,
by the guidance of Providence, to make, to open
up the way to these heathen and benighted coun-
tries for its adinittance; and also showed, that in
every instance, where she had been the means of
introducing the gospel to these countries, she had
received in return for the exertions put forth, a
rich reward, by the interchangeof productions,
and attributed Britain's greatness at the present
day, to the good part she had taken. in assisting
in the promotion of the cause of the Almighty.
At the conclusion of the lecture, the Rev. Mr.
Graham, in a few appropriate and well chosen re-
marks, proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer
for his able lecture, which was seconded by Dr.
Campbell. Mr. Goldsmith made a suitable reply,
after which, theBenediction was pronounced, and
the audience dispersed. . •
It is „unfortunate that the weather was 80 un-
favorable, as had the night been even
moderately
pleasant, we have no doubt, that, a - very large
numbrr would have been present. The lecture
was well deserving a large audience, and the
object for which it was delivered, is no less de-
serving. The handsome church is an ornament -to
the village, and a credit to the congregation, and
we trust the efforts at present being put forth by
the managers to free it from debt. will be success-
ful beyond their most sanguine expectations.
Should Mr. Goldsmith see fit to . favor us at some
future time, with another lecture, -as he hinted
he would be willing to do, -we feel confident that,
under favorable bircumstaiices, he may expect a
very much larger audience than he hadonlast
Monday night. • --

Music. ----The inhabitants of this place, are to
have the services of a band of vocalists dressed in

viewed in the lieht of common -Christianity, and
of God's Holy \ford. There was nobook like the
Bible, its glorious truths minglewith every cradle
song and has gladdened the heart of many a
weary and -worn traveler. It was a book which
was known and loved alike in the palace Of Roy-
alty, and the hut of the most humble peasant.
It contained theanchorage of our language, and
that too, in plain and honeet old Saxon. There
is no person, at the present day, who knows how
much they do really love the Bible, as no person
has ever mad.e theottempt to wrest it. from us,
and until such an attempt be made, it will be im-
possible for us -to estimate its real value. It is
the pillar of our liberty as Britains, and the foun-
dation of our hopes as Christians. It is a revela-
tion from G-od, the relative Sacredness of which
.to us, we can act.reely appreciate. What can be
more sacred to us than the old' Family Bible, in
which are recorded the names of departed ones,
the memory of whom we most dearly cherish; and
it is, at the same time a book which directs our
thoughts, and attentions to higher and more holy
associations with our great Father in Heaven.
The word. of God should be most precious to all,
not ;oily because it was a Revelation from God,
in Heaven, but because it was his Son, who is the
subject of it, and inspired it; and when Jesus in-
spired it, should we hesitate to rest Our faith upon
it, -never. The Biblewas the precursor of eiviliza-
tion everywhere. Wherever the Bible had been
introduced, darkness and heathenism disappeared
before it. At the commencement of the present
century, what was the state of civilization in the
world in ;omparison. with what it is to-dey? At the
dawn of his, the 19th century, India was a mass
of Paganistn, and its people entirely ignorant of
• the existence of such a book. Africa was still in
a state of darkness, and heathenism, and her peo-
ple entire strangers to the true light. ,Old China
was encircled by walls through which no copy of
the word. ever passed. Japanwas out of the reach
of Gospel agencies. The Islands of the Eastern
and Sontlaene Oceans were not only in a state of
heathenism, but in a state of cannibalism. The
Papal Ste*ei of Italy were utterly ignorant of
true Chriaianity, and all who dared to profess
their faith in it, were compelled to undergo the
tortures of the inquisition. Even Anierica, at that
time, with but the exception of a narrow strip
along its bordefs, was a mass of unbelief and
Paganism. When we think of all this, we may
well exclaim: what wonders Goci has wrought for
us. The most 'striking feature of Providence, is.
that the evangilization of these countries has been
preceded and nurtured by the spreadtof an open
Bible and Christian institutions. India, out of
three hundred- millions of her population, who,
half a century ago, were. down right Paeans, now
contains three hundred thousand zealous and
faithful worshipers anclbelieversin the living and
true God; and the good work still goes on, what
has already been done is merely preparatory to
still wider masses of the down trodden people of
India being brought to a saving knowledge of the
Gospel. At the present hour the British flag
waves proudly over India's shores, and wherever
Britain holds sway, all barriers are removed to
the giving -away, or selling of the word of God, -
Britain the bravest and freest nation on the face
of the earth. Britain has her faults -even the
men truest to her, would not attempt to
cover them, "but notwithstanding all her
faults, we love her still." J -n the past she has
dope much to propagate the truth. and we need
fear not for her course in the future. Africa, -
mot of her people heve long been released from
the ;bonds of slayery, and the :Bible has been
translated into their languages, and in circulation
amongst them. Chinas -her walls have fallen.
and herecoolies freely receive the Word of God,
and. welcome missionaries in their midst. Japan,
that dwelt so long with closed gates, has opened
them; Britain opened them, and Lord. Elgin, so
long the Governor of our own Province entered
those gates, and distributed the word of Life
among the people, and she too, is now in process
of Evangilization. Italy is now disenthralled,
with her broken fetters lying at her feet. Old
Spain; the last to surrender, has at length given
way, and her frowning fortresses lie in dust. In
proof of the great change which has taken place
in Spain, the lecturer related, an incident which
had been told him by one of the agents of the
British and Foreign Bible Society: an agent of
that society had been sent to Spain to distribute
copies of the New Testament among the people,
and so great was the demand for them, that on
landing, he sold one Million copies; for one hour
he sold 1,000 copies, at a penny, each, and con-
tinued at that rate for eight hours, until at last,
he had to discontinue from sheer exhaustation;
and even then there were from three to five hun-
dred hands held out for more. The Islands of the
East and South Seas, 50 years ago in a
state of canibalism, now in a state of
high civilization and so wonderous has been the
progress of Christianity there, that not a single
remnant of the images which they formerly wor-
shipped can be found in the land. Our own coun-
try, too, has made equally tepid progress in the
march of civilization. Fifty years ago, our broad
fields were a dense wilderness. Colleges churches,
and schools now stand where the Indian wig-
wam once stood. Changes have come over us,
and all has. been accomplished by the spread of
the Gospel. The Bible, which was at one time
unknown and unread, now holds easy sway. Col -

The third Seaforth monthly cattle fair, came
off on Tuesday last. Quite contrary to expecta-
tions, in view of the fearful state of the roads-,
and hurried season with the farmers, a very toler:
able quantity of steels was offered for -sale. So
- far'as we could learn, something like one hun-
dred and fifty head were on the ground. Of -them
a goodly number were well fattened aniimals.
Still, there unquestionably Was a display of just
as miserable looking cows are it was easy, to ima-
gine. There were more buyers than on any pre-
vious occasion. Sales to the. amount of about
81.600 were effected, including about fifty head
of cattle. Animals fit for slaughtering command-
ed good prices, from $30 to $55 according to quali-
ty and weight. R. Carnochan, . of Tuckersmith, '
sold three steers for $165. Mitch cows realized
from $27 to $40. There Were buyers. on ha,nd, for
at least, all the cowsspresent, heel they been in,
good condition. In consideration of all the Cir-
cumstances, the third. fair, like the first and se-
cond, Was a success.

"The EXPOSIToR last week, geve currency to a
luraour that a respected clergyman of Seaforth had

rend gentleman the temporary inconvenience of

Indignation Meeting.

In compliance, with a numerously signed re-
quisition, the Reeve called a meeting of the -in-
habitants of Seaforth and surrounding country,
in Sharp's Hail, on Friday evening 15th., inst.
The object of the meeting, as set forth in the re-
quisition, was : "To express our abhorrence of
the cold blooded, murder of a British' subject up-
on British soil, by the Traitor Riel and his mill-
ions." A very respectable number of persons
congregated, and after the Reeve had announced
the object of the meeting, Mr. Frank McPhil-
lips was elected secretary. Capt. Bull then took
the platform, who, in a few neat remarks intro-
duced the following resolution •

Show, was held at
thriving village of Exeter,
on -Wednesday la%t./ Notwithstanding that the
weather was mos uaavorable,-a drenching rain
falling nearly the whole of the day -and the roads
in a deplorable contion, the attendance of both -
Exhibitors and Spectators was very large, there
being over five hundred people present.
The display of Horses was large, and all the
animals exhibitedin this class were very' uperior.

teers, to march to Red River, to avenge the
bloody death, of the Canadian, whose life was so
fouly taken. Our informant states, that if the
Government should send only a few soldiers to
Red River, Riel would try the chances of war;
but, 'should a large number go, he would make
tracks.
ORANBROOK.
SUGAR MAKING.-tugar making was a failure
this season.
FALIJVHEAT.-The fall wheat looks bad in this
neighborhood. Some of the farmers speak of
ploughing it up and putting in spring crop: ,
INJURY TO FRFIT TREES. -The mice have made
sad havoc among the truit trees in this part. In
some cases whole orchards have been destroyed.
THE LAND OP GOLD. -A number of our old set
tiers left for California ti few days ago; others are
preparing to leave. According to all ' reports
things are in a bad state there at present", hun-
dreds being out of employment. Notwithstand-
ing this. however, every- week witnesses more or
less of an exodus from these parts, and some are
leaving good farms behind them, to push their
fortune in the land of gold. In fact, the desire of
the young men of the presentage is to become.
suddenly rich, and if only one ;nit of a hundred
who gees to California succeeds in making a for-
tune, the ninety-nine failures are lost sight of in
the brightness of that one's success.
LUMLEY DEBATING CLUB. -The debates are
still carried on with vigor. The question atthe
last meeting was: aesolved. that,- The Farmer
istmore independent than the Mechanic." -With
the usual good discernment, between right and
wrong, the decision was given in the negative.
The siibject for the next debate is: Resolved that,
"The Soleder has suffered more for his country,
than the Sailor." The night of meeting has been
changed, from Tuesday to Friday.
WEATHER, Onus, ETC. -It now seems that,
"at last old. winter is quite away, though he lin-
gered long in his cloak of snow," longer, we be-
lieve, than he has done in this part of the country
for many years; longer. indeed, than he was quite
welcome, to many of the good. people of this dis-
trict, if we may put faith in their words. But
the last two or three weeks of warm, sunshiny
weather, _have been too much for him, and he was,
forced to go. And he has gone, very decently
too, for such a rough blustering old fellow as he
is generally represented to be. Most people ex-
pected great storms, and a great flood, carrying
off fences, bridges, &c., before spring opened up;
but they have been agreeably disappointed. There
has been little sugar making this season; though
the weather seemed fine, the sap did not flow
freely, but -we hear some of the fanners consoling
themselves seith the saying that, "-when the
sugar loave are small, the bread- loaves will be
large." The farmers have a great dealof plough-
ing to do this spring, as • winter came so early,
last year, tl tat little fall ploughing was done, and
so theyhave a double task before them now.
Fall wheat does not lookvery promising, just yet;
in many fields we could hardly say whether there
is wheat, at all, it hardly having got abdve the
ground, before the snowcame on.
HOWIOIC.
Sreeetres-Spring has returned with her winning
smile, and bright open countenance. The icy
hand of old winter had to disappear at her ap-
proach. The fields, which a few 'days ago were
covered with several feet of snow -are no spread
with a green -mantle. The rivers have delivered
up their icy covering, and beautiful fish can be
seen swimming in the clean water. The lambs
are bleating in the field. Life is once more astir
among the woods. Spring has returned, and all
nature is truly beautiful:
The pleasant spring, the joyous spring!
Her course is onward now;
She comes with sunlight on her wing,
' And beauty on her brow;
Her impulse thrills through rill and flood,
'Tis stirring in the waking wood,
And trembling o'er the plain." -Con.
SUGAR. -This has been the worst season, for
making maple sugar, ever known here.,
FALL WHEAT. -It is said, that the Fall Wheat
crop has been killed, by the deep snow.
POTATOES. -About half of the potatoes "were
riot raised last fall, on account, of the early
fall of snow, but we are pleased to know they
kept well in the ground; and are now turning-
.
out beautifully.
RAILWAY. --A Delegation, from Hamilton, are
soon to place the reason of the delay in the com-
pletion of the W. G. and B. Railway before the
township, and also try to reason with the elect-
ors to vote for the extension of one year, in the
time for the completion of the Railway to Har-
rist4 The voting is to take place on May 18th
• Fume RED RIVER. -A gentleman, just from
Red River, who made his escape on the 22nd of
February, arrived here on Thursday last. Hav-
ing been in the regular army for a period A117
years, and thoroughly understanding his drill,
our gallant Capt. Keane secured, his services for
a few- nights. He brings news that had not
yet arrived here. Charles Fawcett, formerly of
this township, .was one of the prisoners captured
by Riel in Major Boulton's forces: Mr. Fawcett's
many warm, personal friends in the county, will
be very sorry to hear of his confmement m the
prison of Fort Garry. Our informant, however,
says that he has not forgotton to crack a joke
yet. Company, No. 8, of the 33rd Batallion, may
be depended upon to give her quota of volun-
ING13 AM
REMOVAL. --Mr. jno. Potts, V. S. has removed
from the Township ot Colborne, to,
this village,
where he is prepared to attend to all accidents
and diseases of domeetic animals.
SCHOoL IMPROVEMENTS. -The Trustees have
furnished the school, with a complete new set of
maps, and tablet lessons, which will add greatly
to the general appearance of the class -room, ren-
dering it far more attractive to the pupils; and we
trust that it will have the same desired effect on
the villagers, in general. The Trustees are also
preparing to - build an .addition to the school-
house, as the present class room is altogether too
small for the number of pupils attending, there
being at present about two hundred and fifty
names on the register.
BUSINESS. -Business is again quite brisk here,
since the waters have receded to theirusual level.
All the mills are again opened, and the demand
for lumber, shingles, and building material, ison
