FORT ERIE, May 27th, 1:20 a. in. Great excitement;prevails here, owing to a rumor that the Buffalo Fenians intend crossing tonight. A cavalry company are patrolling the riv- er between here and Chippewa. All seems quiet now. - OTTAWA, May 26th, .9 p. m. There was fighting at Huntington this afternoon. No particulars received. A number of suspicious characters being in the city, access to the Eastern pock, where Sir John is lying, is denied all per- sons not Having passes signed by Mr. lYIc- Micken and countersigned by Col. Bernard. HUNTI�vGTON, May 27th. Yesterday our troops marched tb attack the Fenians who were within a few miles of here, and completely routed them. Volunteers ordered to Pigeon Hill. OTTAWA, May 26th, 10 p, n. The sensational telegram, circulated to- day, that the 60th. Rifles had been attacked by Indians, at Fort William, is a canard. (Iss=ued at 3 p. In. friday.) Trout River, May 27. The troops at Huntington made au ad- vance. The force was composed of the G9th regi- ment, the Garrison artillery and Engineers .of Montreal and the Huntingdon Battalion. The Fenians were seen forming a breast- work with rails leading across„ the field on the north bank of the Trout river, and half a mile from our side, an hour in advance of the arrival of the troops. At half past 8 our, troops came up, when Col. Baggot ordered the Huntington Bat- talion, under Col. 11IcEchrau, to deploy ac- cross. - . The 69th -were ordered to advance along the road and the artillery to cross the river ado up the south bank. Th:ese.inanmuvers were performed at once and the whole line opened fire. The Fenians fled at once, not firing 20 shots; such 2 skedaddle was never seen since Bull Run. Our mere followed, firing as they went, until they reached the boundary line. Fenian officers tried to form their men after crossing the line, using their swords and revolvers, but all in vain. None of our men aro hurt, and ,it is sup- posed the Fenians had only a.few wounded. One is said to be killed_ We have one prisoner. The troops are advancing from Malone, and will take the Fenians prisoners before night. The Fenians number 400. Our troops still wait at the boundary. MONTREAL, May 27, 3 a.m. Hunt and McNally the Fenian prisonE rs here are to be sent to Sweetsburg, 12 miles distant. Both are hard looking roughs. News has come in of another brush with. the Fenians, at Freliglisburg, resulting in their skdeaddling and leaving their knap- sacks on the field. Sharp fighting is said to have taken place on both sides. (Issued at midnight, Friday.) 'Montreal, May 27, 7 p, m. Information is expected here shortly of a collision with the Fenians near Hinchin brook as its appears to be the intention of our forces (1,500 strong) tc attack them. Five -hundred Fenians were d riven from a barricade, one mile west of Holbrook's Corners, back to the lines, leaving knap- sacks scattered over,the fields. The firing \vas,, for a short time, sharp on both .sides. - This morning, at 9 o'clock, the forces,' numbering about' 1,500, left Huntington to attack the Fenian Camp. Col. Baggot, of the G9th, is in command of the whole. Many of the Fenians, believing that Gen. O'Neil's ar-iest was planned by himself, hie returning home. They are quickly replac- ed, however, by car -loads of fresh arrivals. The Feniansare said to be 10,000 strong, -between Hinchinbrcoke and Huntington. The Fenians collected during last night from Malone and Pottsdam Junction. An arrangement is planned to surround the enemy. If successful it .will annihilate them. all. The Fenians on, the boundery, eastward, have concentrated at Island Pond, and have been reinforced from Portland. The Fenians engaged at Pigeon Hil • .1. ha i THE HURON EXPOSITOR. all left the front. : Many of them are con- centrating at Malone to move to Hinchin- Brooke. LATER. From the latest reports it would "appear that a large force, of some 1,560 to 2,000 Fenians, had gathered in the neighbourhood of Hincrinbrooke ; but as soon as the 69th Regiment was about marching up, they cleared off. (Issued ai noon, Saturday.) MONTREAL, May 28, 9 a. m. Last evening. the Fenians retreated and, the. U. S. troops seized their arms and stores. In the yesterday's fight, eight Fenians were killed and twenty wounded. Gen. Dounelly is reported to have died from his wounds. The Fenian prisoners are to be hanged here (Montreal) to -day. (Issued at midnight, Satvrday.) HUNTINGTON, May 28, 12 o'clock, n The U. S. soldiers are. in charge of nian arms and stores, Gen. Meade is expected this aftern with more soldiers. It is reported that the Fenians are centrating at Malone intending to have other dash across the lines. The game is considered "played out." Gen. Donnelly died in great agony. Two Fenians were shot this morning Col. Smith's command after drumh court martial. Their•nanes are supt,o to be Hull and McNally. The statement that England is send out 20,000 troops is not confirmed. ST..ALBANS, May 28, noon Everything quiet;this forenoon. How the Fenians are to be got rid of, the great. question with the citizens. T U. S. Government refuses to take the in ter out of the hands of the civil authoriti rand they (civil authorities), clo,not" like take the responsibility of paying for th transportation:, Gen. Meade censures the people alo t43 border .for the sympathy and aid th gave the Fenians; which the borderers gard as unjust, as the Government was the time cognizant of the preparations th were going on. NEW YORK, May 28. There is no disguising the fact that t Feniii.ns in this city are greatly depress and unless more favorable news is receiv from the invading army to -day, all holes accomplishing any good from the expediti will be lost, and the attempt abandoned. PouGHKEEPSIE, May 28. Recruiting for the Fenian army is inpr gress at Newburg. Over 50 have left th place for the front. oon.

The Post admits that the Washingto Government has done all that caii be re sonably required to' suppress the Fenia raid.

The Times thinks that the Fenian rai W111 not absolutely be regretted, if it wil only prompt the.

Now I would inquire, is it not much better and- more ;prudent, in every sense of the word, for the farmer to occupy the soil, mo- nopolized by the exhausting weccls, with some crop that will contribute to his re- sources, than to lave it filled with such productions, and will not only ' sap the land' most wretchedly, but foul it by the dissemination of their minute and multitu- dinous seeds ?—Certainly no farmer can doubt the affirmative: By sowing the Pur- ple Top turnip seed, at the last dressing of the corn crop, and scuffing it in; or sowing just before a rain and allowing that to cover it, he can have a hundred bushels of good turnips per acre if the soil be rich and well cultivated, instead of a `host of worthless and pestilent seeds. s• • A Terrible Fate. A melancholy, and in many respects sin- gular death from hydrophobia has just oc- curred at Yonkers, Westchester county, N. Y., where the horrifying circumstance is at present engrossing an unusual share of at- tention.. To medical men it is another ter- rible illustration of the fact that although the poison conveyed in the bite of a rabid animal may remain dormant in. the system for an infinite period, its power to torture and destroy life does not deteriate. The victim, Thomas Lamb, who was in his twenty-fourth_ year; was by trade an engin- eer, and employed at a foundry in the vil- lage named, throughout which he was well known as a trustworthy, industrious man. During last winter, while employed in a neighboring village, deceased was bitten by a ferocieus blood -hound, owned by his em- ployer, and although the wound inflicted by the fangs of the brute was - not very severe, the animal was ,at once despatched, and ,the affected part having rapidly healed, -the ole- currence was soon forgotton by the deceas- ed. On Tuesday of last week deceased was united in marriage to a young woman whose mother had bitterly opposed his attentions to' her daughter. Having, by the exercise of a little strategy, realized their matrimo- nial wishes, the married pair had scarcely reached .the domicile of the bridegroom, when the motherof the bride made her. ap- learance, and after, on her knees, imploring curses and vengence on the luckless couple, fervently prayed that her daughter`might be "a widow in less than three months." It appears that the diabolical imprecations of the mother had a most depressing effect on the minds of the young people, and on the following day deceased ,evinced symptoms of the awful malady, the seed of which had been sown in his system Isom mcnths pre- viously. Medical skill was reeoi ted to with- out avail, and on Friday the wretched man, in one of his terrible paroxysms, escaped his attendants, and after reaching some open lots, displayed cat -like agility in bounding over fences and otherwise disporting like an animal. He was subseqnently secured - by two of the Yonkers police, who found it necessary to handcuff the madman on arriv- ing at bis home in Brookstreet. Either the sight or sound of water would throw the pa- tient into the most agonizing convulsions, and as the malady developed itself he would bark like a dog, snapping and snarling at those who were near him. He continued to grow more violent and dangerous, so that for many hours before his dissolution it was deemed' necessary to bind him with strong cords, and while in this condition his strug- gles, shrieks, and howls were truly shock- ing, until death ensued. -'0•.- Washing ;Sheep. It is a question upon which all do not agree, whether it is best -to wash wool or put it into market unwashed. We believe in the West and .is the North-west, the predominating opinion is in favor of wash- ing. The strongest argument in support of this conclusion in the cost of transporting the additional, weight to market, for wheth- er the farmer ships his clip to a commission house or sells it at home, the cost of freight is counted against him. The best remedy for. this will be found in encouraging the manufacturers, to erect their factories in wool growing localities. The freights upon both wool and cloth will be saved: Another help to the conclusion to wash wool has been found in the arbitrary rule or practice of the majority of buyers. They will pay more for washed wool, even though it has run long enough -after washing to become near- ly as heavy as before With those who feel it is .their interest to wash, the question is, how can: we do it best, all things - consider- ed? Where the necessary facilties can be had,. we recommend swimming, as saving much labor to both men and sheep, aucl doing the work quicker and better than any other method. A running stream should be se- lected, and a point found where the bottom and banks are not muddy. Sheep should be put across as many as three times, with an interval of about half an hour of sun- shine between crossings, If -in clean -water and deep enough to keep clear, sheep can be washed no more thoroughly in any of_the modes common among flock masters. We have known three men to wash a thousand sheep in this manner in two hours after get- ting to the water, and do it well, too. Very little preparatory work is necessary, as most well trained flocks can be put across with- out trouble, at almost any point.—We.5tern Rural. _ SILK WEAVING IN CHINA ---The silk weaving which is largely carried on in Can- ton is accounted among its curiosities, but it is chiefly interesting as showing how -the most beautiful fabrics can be wrought in small and dirty hovels and retain their pu- rity. All the silks of China, for which Can- ton is most celebrated, are woven by hand on the rudest of looms, frequently by mere girls and boys. I watched- with no little surprise the growth of a fine brocade, a little boy managing the harness, and a girl seated at the loom and casting the shuttle. Every figure came out of their bands perfect, the whole piece looking as if it just cane from the fuller, without spot.—Letter from Dr. Prime. TEETH EXTRACTED WIT UT PAIN. CCARTWRIGHT, L. D .
