TH-E British Exchange Hotel, Goderich, since it came into the present hands, is rapidly growing in' popularity with the travelling public. It is now admitted to be unsurpassed by any house in Western Canada. THE gun boat Prince Alfred arrived at Goder- ich on Tuesday evening, and the volunteers, who been aboard for a few weeks, cruising the lakes, looking after imaginary Fenians, were dis- charged. AT a meeting of the Congregation of the Canada _Presbyterian c urch, of this place, held on Mon- day evening last, it was unanimously resolved to tender a call to the Rev. - Goldsmith, of Hamilton.

He was injured about the face, one eye, particularly, being seriously burnt. Medical aid was obtained and he is recovering. Mr. Carter was also injured by the same accident. • Wries CAT CAuGHT..—A few days since Mr, George Smith, of McKillop, caught a large wild cat, in a trap, and by some. dexterous maaaceuvr- ing, succeeded in n'oosing its feet and. so keptthe •animal from scratching. Ile then ' put a strap round' its neck, with a chain attached, and by . putting a stout stick between its legs got it oVer his shoulder, and carried his cat home. without sustaining the first scratch. It is as large as a middle-sized dog. - A Coot, AcoleENT.—As a tarrner,--Of Usborne, and his better hall, accompanied by a neighbour, were driving towards a village, in the said town: - ship, they met. with what might, have been a melancholy accident, had it notibeen for the heroic exertions of.the woman. While crossing a bridge, that spans the River Sable, it gave way, and the trio lound. themselves very unceremoniously, immersed in the water. The owner of the team, thinking it better travelling down, than up, stream, started in that direction, in hopes of finding a . landing place before he reached the lake, when his attention was arrested by the shrieks of the neighbour, who had become entangled among some timber, a‘ncl who was on the point of drown- ing. Our heroine hastened to his assistance, and succeeded in extracting him froin his perilous po- ition, and placing him on the shore to dry, -Com. Masonic Re -union. We have seldom had the good fortune to be a guest at a happier gathering than that which met on Wedneaclay evening, 4th inst, to assist the Brethren oI the late Goderich Union Lodge, G. R E., in celebrating the auspicious era in2their history, which is inaugurated by their now being • recorded, according to the warrant of the R. W. - Grand Master, on the G. R. C., as Goderich, Lodge No. 31 The entertainment was prepared by W. Bro. Harry Reed; and a company of over forty sat dewn to a splendid table catered for and arranged. with his well-known sldll and taste. Grace having been pronounced by W. Bro. Rev. A. Mackid, merited j as tice WaS done to the excellent • viands. After the cloth had been renioved, W. • Bro. Mackid was called to the chair, the duties of which he discharged to the satisaetion and im- provement of all present. The usual loYal . and patriotic toasts were given from the chair • ;the health of W. Bro. H. R. H. the Prince of Xi/ales, being enthusiagtiCally drunk with masonic honors. .Brother Clifford favoured the Ceniipany with a well rendered song. The'ehairman delighted the meeting with an eloquent, condensed history of ma,sonary from the days of Enoeh to the present time, displavingla vast hind of recondite informa-, tion and much able and judieious critical regearch in channels of which fewof event -he best -inform- ed masons, have either the persevering enthusi- asm or the opportunity to trace back and elabor- ate. Being able to devote only a necessarily very limited. time to the eattensive subject; the W. Brother's promise to deliver an extended led- ture, covering similar ground, within the lodge, was hailed with -delight by the brethren, Mr. Crowder, of Belville, -who' is the fortunate posses- sor of a superior voice was much applauded for his song of "God. bless the Prince of Wales." . Bro. Clifford, in appropriate terms, proposed the health of R. W. Grand Master of Canada, which was honored in due form, W. Bro. Toms, W. M. of Maitland Lodge No 112, then offered -the toast of "Prosperity to Goderich Lodge No. 33 ;" congratulating the members of the. same on the early number which had been granted them by Grand Lodge of Canada, trusting that, from this out, they would be more successful in the future than they had ever been in the past and tender- ing them every assistance, in the work of instruc.-- tion and otherwise, that lay in his power. W. Bros. Harry Reed and Geo. Swanson replied; the latter proposing "The memory of the absent brthren," who have gone to "that bourne from which no traveller returns ;" which was -drunk in solemn silence. The chairman being desirous of retiring, requested W. Bro. Toms to fake is place, and W. BTO. Ferguson proposed the W. Bro's health and a vote of thanks for the efficient and brotherly manner in which he had presided, which met with a hearty response. The chairman then proposed the health of Bro. Clifford, which was heartily drank and feelingly replied to by that brother. Brother Dickson proposed Prosperity to Maitland Lodge No. 112,' coupled with the names of W. Bros Toms and Trainer, to which these brethren Made suitable replies. Bro. Eller - by sang most effectively a mirth -provoking Serio- : Comic song, entitled The Milkman's Daughter.' W. Bro. Trainer proposed tiv health of Mr. Crowder, a guest from Belleville, That gentleman in the course of his reply, paid a handsome tribute to our good town ; giving expression to the delight which his visit had inspired him with, describing, appreciatively, the natural beauties which had. struck him very fOrcibly and the reas- ons 'Which he had for entertaining a sanguine Opinion that, in the imunediate future, Goderich would- become a place of wealth and importance. In sitting downhe proposed Success to Goder- ich and health t� its officials,' to which Bros. Clifford and Trainer responded. Prosperity tb 'the Seaforth Lodge, coupled with I3ro, Luxton's name,' followed next. Bro. -Harry Reed sang with gusto, the very popular Irish song 'Dare vinture to thread on the tail of my coat,' accom- panying himself on the guitar. 44V. Bro. Tema did not forget 'The Ladies—God bless them nor did the conipany forget to drink a, bumper thein;' their- health. Bro. Kerby was appropriately called upon to appear as their representative and anSwet for the charming creatures. Bro.

Luxton of the Expositor,' Which was warmly received ; these gentlemen replying. Mr. Crowder sang an Irish ditty with admirable expression; and after a bumper to 'The health of the host and hostess,' Bro. Ferguson rose to the J. 1V's toast of ' Hap- py to meet, sorry to part and happy to meet again.' The Company thin formed a fraternal chain around the table and sang a stave of time— honored 'Auld Lany Syne,' after which, the wee -sma' hour ayont the twal' saw each man wending his way homeward,e-in'truth happy to meet, sorry to part and happy to meet again, So mote it always be !—Signal.

COLLIS vs. LAIRD. —This was an action institut- ed by the Plaintiff, Mary Ann Collis, for the se- duction of her claeghter, by the Defendant. From the, evidence; it was shewn that the Defendant had' already paid the Plaintiff s daughter $150, to settle the matter, but it was done without the" authority of the Plaintiff. The evidence was very lengthy, and, as a whole, unfit for publication. Verdict for Plaintiff for $250. C. Robinson and Benson & Meyer for Plaintiff, Dr, 'McMichael for. Defendant. VANSTONE VS. MARTIN.—This was an action for damages sustained. by Plaintiff, for loss of services of daughterin consequence of her seduction by the Defendant. The Defendant was a married man, and a charge of rape had been preferred against him in this same case at a previous court, but was not entertained by the Grand Jury: The 'evi- dence in this, as in the previous case, was of a, nature that prevents its finding place in those columns, Verdict for the Plaintiff for $250.

This morning the court room was pi'etty well filled, it, having become generally understood that the MELLADY CASE waste be disposed of. 'Am prisoners, Keboe and Donovan were placed in the dock, when the Crqwn Donovan, explained their positions. He stated that, notwithstanding the most strenuous efforts having been put forth, one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution could not be found; and, moreover, as Kehoe had been acquitted at the last assizes, for the murder of Nicholas Mel- • lady, on the same evidence -which would now be breught, for the murder of Ellen Mellady, could it be Obtained, he had no doubt but that the same resnit would follow, were a trial for murder pro- ceeded with, and he should, therefore, only have proceeded with a trial for robbery, had.. all the evidence been available, which not being the case, he was bound to say that Kehoe was entitled to his release, and. he therefore, proposed, with the consent of the- Court, to release him on his own recognizance to appear at the next assizes. The Counsel went on to remark on the case of Dono- van, that he was not made any promise of commu- tation, for taking the course' be did, in turning Queen's evidence, but was simply told, that if he saw proper to do so, his case would be reported to the Government, -which has been done, 'an(' the Atty. General recommends that he be dismiss- ed, on hiS recognizance, to appear when called upon. Th e prisoners were then dismissed accord- ingly, and left the court room amidst the congra- tulations of their friends. QUEEN VS. D. L.

GRAND IURORS' PRESENTMENT. The Jurors of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, upon their oath present, that in accordance with their duty, they have visited. the Gaol, and. find it kept in a clean and orderly raanner, a,nd the prisoners therein satisfied with the treatment of the keeper. There are two insane persons confined therein, who should be removed to their proper place, as soon as possible. - We have to congratulate your Lordship on the lightness of the calendar; and the apparent„clinai- nution of crime in this county. . We have to thank the Queen's Counsel, and County :Attorney for their kindness in advising us when called upon. We hope that your Lord- ship may long occupy your present position, to he a terror to evildoers, and a praise to them that do well. S. Pottoex. GRAND JURY ROIIM, Foreman. GODERICH, 6th May, 1870. HIS LORDSHIP reply to the presentment, remarked, that the insane inmates of the Gaol were to be removed to the Lun.atic Asylum forthwith. As increased_ ac- comodation bad been provided, for this unfortu- nate class of humanity, he hoped that henceforth, the standing . lament, .for years past, of Grand 'Jurors, as to the presence of insane persons, would cease. His Lordship thanked the Grand Jurors for their personal remark, and discharged them. The Court was formally dosed. at 11:25 A. M. LEECHVILLE. STREETS.—The streets af this village are to bel all opened to the public. Our streets are in al most disgraceful state, being -the same as nature, made them. There is not one—save the public road—that a person can drive a carriage over with safety, to either the carriage or person. - IvIens.—We get our mails once a week on time, which is an improvement. FORDWICII._ This village contains three churches, two tav- erns, a grist mill, saw mill, two black -smith shops, two stores, and two shoe shops, one of which closed. a few days ago, but is soon to be reopened. A lage number of new 'buildings are being er- ected this spring. NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE. THE FENIAN' BUBBLE.—DISSENSIONS IN THE FE- NIAN CAMP.—THE MCFARLA.ND TRIAL—MES. LINCOLN'S PENSION.; ---MR. GEO. SHEPPARD TO •RETURN TO CANADIAN JOURNALISM. ' • NEW Yong, May 6,1870. The Fenian flurry is over. The Congresses have Met, resolved and re-refiolved, and adjourn- ed:the same as all theirforiner Congresses, with nothing-slono. The.first of May has come. and gone, but the gr. eenliag waves not yet on Cana- dian soil. and seems not likely to. The New York Congress had no other result than to widen the breach between President O'Neil and his Senate. " The Senate flatly accuses O'Neil of appropriation . of she funds of "the organization to. his own use. They claim that his official Salary is some $2,000 a year, and it is known that besides this he has received $3.per day, which he was not entitled to, and having the control of the treasury, it is be- lieved that still larger sums have been appropri- ated, which cannot be soeasily traced to him. The Fenians were never weaker or more con- temptible than now. They have neither money nor friends. They have neither confidence in themselves nor the sympathy of the public. The - few earnest; Fenians,left, are in the West, belong to the Senate branch of the body and.are oppos- ed to O'Neil. That the Dominion .0 ovenunent should throw the Country into _alarm about the proceedings of eo contemptible a- body as this, cannot be considered otherwise than as a folly or a crime. There is a report that the Fenians will go to the assistance Of B4d. This is, undoubteclly, Of a piece with the rest of the blowing we have heard so much Of for th.e first two months. The McFarland trial is approaching its close. The evidence closed yesterday, and the counsel for the- defence commences summing up today. The interest in the trial continues unabated, al- though there is little differences of opinion as to the result. The principal point in the defence is the insanity -of the prisoner at the time he com- mitted the deed. The prosecution endeavoured to show habitual intemperance on the part of the prisoner, rather than insanity. Many side issue's have been brought into the trial, which can have no bearing -whatever on establishing the guilt or innocence of the prisoner. • Mrs. Lincoln is again 'appearing before the pub- lic, this time not as the exhibitor of old clothes, but as a petitioner to' Congress for a pension. The lower branch of Congress were in favor of granting her $3,000 a year, but. a Committee of the Senate have discovered that she is already worth' some $50,000 and therefore not in immedi- ate or pressing want, and believing that a bad precedent woulki be established by granting -the pension., have reported against it, so it is not like- ly to be granted. Mr. George Shepherd has retired from the chief editorship of the Times. Rumor has it that he intends to returb to Canadian journalism A lit- tle bird whispers to me that the Toronto Tele- -graph may1.)e the sphere of his frityre labors. bhould this supposition be correct, there may be lively times' once more among the Toronto papers. Mr. Shepherd is succeeded in the editorship of the 7'1771es by LOUIS J. Jennings. Mr. Jennings Came to this country at the closed the war; as American .correspondent of the London Times, After remaining here a year or twe he returned to England and took a position on the editorial staff of the Thunderer. Last,• 'summer he came again to America and joined the Times as edito- rial writer, and now becomes the chief editor. Mr. Jennings, although a young man, apparently not thirty-five, his had extensive ne-wepaper ex- perience in England and India, as well as in America, and. is an -able an industriousjournalist, •• J. H. B• LAKELET. • Bieteic-ssirramo.--There is a black -smith shop with two of the best workmen in the County. TARN. -The tavern is kept by Thos, Ilubbert, who is very attentive to the travelling community. • FISHING --A -large lot of fish is being daily taken here, both by clay and right. PUBLIC Bunnuiers.---This village contains an. Orange Hall, also a Good Te-mplars Hall, and a splendid church, whieh- belongs to • the W. Methodists• . • STORES. ---This village contains two stores, with a complete assortment of the best goods. They are kept by E. Young & Bros., and Jas.. Hazle- wood & 6thrl. • CARDING. --Mr. R. Young has a splendid Card - Mg Factory, and he has one of the best carding hands that can be gotten. We would advise all who want good rolls to take some wool to his factory. Se.w Mier,.—The enterprising village of Lake - let., has just received an addition to its buildings, in the form of a saw mill, erected and owned by Webster & Bros. It runs by steam, and is capa- ble of turning out twelve thousand feet of lumber per clay. WINCrliA1V1 •44.,ui.,44,000 SCARLET FEY E R —Several of the inhabitants are sick, with a mild kind of this fever ; but the medical • corps hiving received reinforce- ment of late, we trust that this loathsome disease will be speedily extinguished. . BUSINESS.-13tsiness is a little •moi e brisk than usual, owing -bo the large importations, which seem to please the ladies remarkably well, they being our largest purchasers. The great number of buildings that are in course of erection, in this village ancl vicinity, causes a -great demand for building material. Mr. Jno. Ainsley & Bro's are kept busily engaged in their foundry, almost night and day, endeavoring to supply the great demand for ricultural implements, scrapers, etc. And .:ast, I eough not least, the sucker .fishing furnishes n :‘;htly employment for a number of our laziest inhabitants, ' and also for our boys and dogs. - • FHOTOGRAPHING.—Mr. A. Stewart has filled up. a moves,ble photograph gallery, and. he is now prepared. to take photographs at prices so remark- bly low, as to defy all competition. Wehavenow four excellent photograph galleries. Can James- • town beat this? PRICE OF BREAD.—When bakers fall out we get cheap bread. Our bakers have been endea- voring to - undersell one another, last week, and the result is, that the price of the common loaf has been reduced three cents. Next week, we expect to get bread for nothing. So mote it be. QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.—The right loyal inhabi- tants of this village, who are by no means like the paper loYalists of Goderich and Dungannon, have resolved to celebrate the Queen's Birth -day, in a manner that will wholly eclipse any of our former celebrations, and which will cause the in- habitants of ur sister villages to turn pale with envy. Wm. angdale, anticipating the great de- mand for fire ,rackers, has receiveci an infinitely large supply,I ic will enable the school boys, (for we are all loyalhere), to give full vent to their loyalty, in a manner well befitting so important an occasion. The bigger boys who belong to the • ancient, and time-honored order of Calathumpi- ant will show theirs, by acting two new plays, which will be really worth coming to see. The first • is : "How the Home Guard received the startling news, that a few of them were required to march against Riel and the North West rebs." The second is "A ludicrous description of the grand set -too, in the Parliament House, in. Otta- wa." 'Our space wilt not allow- us to give a full description of the programme, therefore let it suffice to say, that there will be boat -racing, foot - racing, horse -racing, and olynapic games ad infinit- um. The fire werks are to be on a far grander scale, than on any pievious occasion. "God. save the Queen." • WROXETER. , THE ROOKERY. --,-POUT Nimrods from our town, took a day's Shooting at -the Ashfield Pigeon Rookery, last week, and suceeeded in bagging about two hundred birds. They have been lux- uriating on pigon-pie ever since. . RAILWAY MATTERS—Messrs. Thos. Gibson, of Wroxeter, John Moser, Reeve of Turnbeiry, J. Perkins, of Howick, and Dr. Worthington, were at Toronte laSt week, On business connected with the railway. They had an interview with the directors, and are satisfied that the Company are in earnest about the matter. The stock bcioks contracts, etc., :were also submitted to their in- spection, and after a close investigation, they are continced that the statements made by the dele- gation, at the meeting in Wroxeter, are trim to the letter. • Thesurveyors, engineers, etc., will commence to run the trial lines next week, if the weather in the mean time be favourable: EXETER. QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.—A public meeting will be held, on Tuesday May 24, 1870, in the. Bible Christian Church, in this village, to eminence at 11 o'clock, A. M.

Every desirable luxtrrjr may be confidently ex- pected on' she table. After lunch the speaking will be resumed. The choir will be on hand to render their much appreciated services. A new organ; of great power, manufaztured by our en- terprising citizen, M. Geo. Pedlar, will be used on the occasion.. Every thing will be done to render the day one of both pleasure and profit to all. The proceeds are to be applied to the con- templated enlargement and. improvement of the church. Tickets of admission to lunch, lecture and music, 25 cents, ehildren 20cts. The object in putting the tickets at so low a figure is to ac- comodate the masses, and furnish a holiday treat. GONE TO CALIFORNIA.—Mr. Michael Ruddy, of TJsborne, left these parts on Tuesday last, for California. Doubtless he entertains bright visions of future wealth and greatness; but many return with their one cherished hope, very much disap- pointed. • It is hoped, however, that Mr. Ruddy will realize his anticipatipns. J.A1VIESTOWN. BUSINESS.—Business is improving rapidly. The merchants are receiving'daily, large consign- ments of imports, • and will shortly have their • stores pregnated with all the novelties of the season. CATTLE FAT.R.—The cattle fair helki in this place on. Wednesday last,- proved a complete suc- cess. -.The farmers found read st sale, and good prices, for all the cows, pigs, and horses offered. Most of the cows and horses are for the American market A fair will be held here on the first Wednesday of each month, should our next prove as successful as our first. Farmers please take note.-- Com. LOCAL WAIFS. ---Our loyal citizens are making great preparations for the celebration :of Her. Majesty's birthday in patriotic style. A meeting was he1e419,st Tuesday evening, in Mill's Hall, for the puffose of appointing officers and judges, to manage and direct' the sport and amusement on the corning Jubilee." It was moved and. car- ried, by the meting: That we, the managing committee, exert ourselves to the utmost, to meke the 24th, in Jamestown, -a day, such as will eclipse, for mirth, and sports, Ainleyville and Wroxeter, and scorch little Bluevale at night with our rockets. They are boring for salt in Ainleyville. We suppose they will require a large quantity of it shortly, as it is understood that the narrow gauge coming' to Jamestown will kill their wonderful village! They are therefore making preparations to preserve it with salt or saltpeter ! `• Shoo fiy."—Com. BIATEVALE- BASE BALL. —A meeting was held in Johnston's Hall, on Saturday ev'g last, to organize a B. Ball Club, when the following officers were elected : D. Diamond, President; Jno. tlutchison, Vice. ; A. Farrow, Sec. ; G. B. Baird, Treas., and Win. Messer, .A. Jones and Thos. Thyne, field I managers. QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.—We expect a grand time on the 24th of May. - Our villagers are making • extensive preparations for it, as will be seen by the bills which they are distributing through the locality. • Besides the usual games which are generally competed for on these occasions, two large Sunday School pic-nies will be held on the village pic-mc ground, on the bank of the river, one of the most beautiful places to be seen along the Maitland. RAILWAY.—Pour of the most prominent citi- zens of this north section, viz. : slno. Messer, Esq., Reeve of Turnberry, Thos Gibson, Esq., James Perkins Esq. Reeve of the Tp. of Hawick, , and Dr. Worthington, of Wroxeter, have been taking a trip through the Country.along th.e line of the T. G. & B. Railroad, to see what the said. Company were doing, and how they were pro- gressing with the road. We understand that they were accompanied by one of the officials, along the route, who showed them all they wish- ed to see, and explained to them all they wanted. to know. • They also visited the offices of the Company at Toronto, where they were shown the Stock -Books, etc. and we believekthey have come back extremely well satisfied with what they have seen and heard. • While in Toronto, they were interviewed by one of the leading men of the Hamilton road, WIG used all his influence upon them, to endeavor to get them to suppert the broad. gauge, from that city. He offered. them a free trip on the G. Western, around by Hamiltonto G-uelph, if they would. accept,, in order to show them what that Company were do- ing, but they declined the honor. • We expect to be shortly enabled to give a full report of their proceedings.
