The ROMAD Catho4c Church, in this place, was dedicated on Sunday' last by the Right Rev. Dr. Walsh, R. C, Bishop of London, assisted by the Very Reverend Pa S. Crinnon, Vicar General, Stratford, Rev. Father Bayard, Ingersoll, Rev. Father Boubatt, Goderieh, Rev. Father Brennan, Moimt Carmel, Rev. Father Killtoy, St. Marys, an&Rev. Father Flannery, of Amherstburg. ThiS handsome churchis of gothic style, cruci- form shape, and is a monument to the faith, an ornament to our village, and an object command- ing the admiration of all beholders. It is a stand- ing credit to the skill of the contractor, Mr. Hob - mina who Met with many adverse circumstances in carrying out his engagetheuts. Notwi hstanding the very muddy state of the roads c usequent *upon the falling of immense quantiti 's of rain, on the morning of the dedica- tion, befpre the :doors were opened, the assembled multitude was something. extraordinary. The first part of the proceedings was THE DEMO:MON. 9 His Lordship, assisted by other members -of the clergy, robed. in the peculiar ecclesiastical vestments, performed the soleme ceremony, ob- serVed in sacred silence by the gathering. The ad- dress by his Lordship, was, as nearly as possible, as follows : " DEARLY BELOVED BRETHREN : You have just witnessed the soleam ceremony of consecra- tion. By the fall of man all things became curs- ed. For four thousand years the earth was un- • der this curse, until the Son of God came to undo what Adam had. done ; 'hence the church. blesses natural objects, and conseerates them., by -prayer, to the -service of God. The whole earth is His teikile, yet God ch-ooses certain spots as his rnerey seats. He manifested his power, mercy, wisdom, and iminensity, at Jacob's Ladder; in the Taber- nacle ofl the swilaerness, and. in the Toniple of Jerusalem. During the first centuries ot Christi- anity, When believers had to hid ue in the cata- combes of Rome, evea there, under the earth, the church had her ehaples. • The world even now, in this age of inventioneantl progress, wonders at thm e agnificent runts and stately piles of Europe; °dedicated to our ancestors in the (dorGod. ,You of Go, You have . here et magnificent and substantial chureh ; *must have cost you many a acrifice.

The tables fairly groaned_ under the weight of the edibles. La us here remark, that Jas.

At two o'clock the Orangemen got into proces- sion artd.raarched. to the grove, where Benjamin Gerry, Esq., County Master. took the chair, and called upon ?Lewd.

REV, MR. HAGGARD next addressed the audi- ence, and made the speech of the day. REV. Mn. IVICKENZIE spoke of the eat re- forms introduced by William III., an compli- • mented the Brethren on the number who had • turned, out, and the respectable and gentlemanly manner in which they had conducted themselves. The numbers present, of the Brotherh amounted to about 1,000, and -about 1;200 spec- tators. Mg us cettata means of comingto that knowledge. The way ought to be plain, clear, easy, and cona prehensive. We have that clear, sure, and com- prehensive way. These contending bodies oppos- ed. to us are waging an intellectual war with each other. Is it the Bible as read by a man of goat common sense.? This is not a certaan rule, for the • unlearned wrest it to their own destruction. • Thu most learned disagree about the sense of it. -Even the same persous.altertheir opinion, being carried too and fro by every wind of strange 'doctrine. The -whole .Catholic Church is against -their inter- pretation. *r..C.he only certain and sure way, is thc living voice of the church. It is the whole Word of God, both written and. unwritten; • awl as taught and explained by the Church. It is the teaching of -the church. The .Bible is a common draw bank, from which. each • contending party draws . its instructions, We cannot find :that Christ sent his *apostles to write and. read; but. "Go teach all nations," says -Christ, and he com- • manded to hear, Dot read. What is. the object of building this ehurch, but that you m.ay learn the . truth, the whole truth. • Cliristsent by God, the 'Father, to redeem mankind, assumed our nature, and sent his apostles to teach all nations. The apostles could. not live for ever. They werafilled with the Holy Ghost, they reveived the spirit of truth to abide with them for ever, (ie.), their suc- cessors. . St. Paul was not a deciplo, yet he was sent. Paul sent Tinaothy, and Timothy ordained others. From Peter to Pius, all were commis- sioned to preach the gospel, to teach Christ and denounce those who will not hear. th.em. The written and unwritten. way, is the only easy way, - for thousands of mankind cannot read. Great ' Multitudes are uneducated, and the learned men are differently constituted, and. of different minds. The Catholic rule of faith is the most comprehen- sive. There were different. gospels, but the church declared which was the authentic cannon of Scripture. None of the books of the New Tes- tament were written for many years after the deathofChrist. Thus the early fathers Tertuli- on, Origon, etc„ quoted the books of Hermus 2,nd implicitely believed. in their inspiration, and were received as such until the. Council of Laodi- tha, in the y ear 320, whichomittad themfromtheir selection of the books composing the caamon of Scripture. By the church we learn what is Scrip- ture. TheProtestantruleof taking the Seriptures, alone, is not a univtrsal rule ; it does not contain all revealed truth. .The Bible forbids certain meat and. blood .! • By what authority have we changed the Sabbath from the first to the seventh day of the week? We do not read that all truth is in the scripture! We never heard. Christ wrote to the deciples and commanded thein to write. He wrote oBee`with his fmger in the sand, but who read that writing. The Church takes the scripture and. explains it. . Those who oppose her say she is unchangeable. The world has seen her stability. Truth is unchangeable. The faith She taught 2,000 years ago, she teaches now. Is it not beaCto take the testimony of the ancient uelversal church? The common man cannot un- derstand the law, and so he employs a counsellor to defend him. If he errs in law, how Much more likely in. private jadgement, 4: reading the scrip- . tures? • The teachings .of the apustolie church is the surest Way. It is impossible to believe that Christ- is God, and not Gel as one body;believes. Some argue that thereis a Holy Ghost, and others that it is a myth. Private judgement leads into these varieties and contradictory beliefs. We all wish to go to heaven ; we should endeavor to learn the true way, and if catholic, having the whole truth, they ' should not . despise those who -Possess only part.- They should lead, purer and. holier lives'and let the light of their good example outshine that of their Protestant neighbours as the 'sun outshines the light of the Stars. We are building a new and glorious Dominion ; we should be ready with our. Protestant neighbour to defend our liberty mut id country, our homes and family altars, -Catholic and Protestant fought side by side on many a bloody field.

Father Crimion, _of Stratford,. • gave a discourse, in which. he pointed. out the symbolic meaning, and interpreted the emblematical language of the -various adornments of a Catholic church..

EDITOR . :—DEAR t --Te evelything there is an end, and your journey to Berne is no excep- tion to the rule, although you are not yet quite there. To continue standing on this hill, (we hope you remember where you are) and feast yoar eyes en "the chaems which nature to her votary yields," is, doebtless, deliahtful indeed ; but to protract your stay nail the revolving earth should bear .you into the shades of night, would not only deprive you of a clear view of the vil- lage, but might bring disagreeable consequences on your ram-re—such as facing the gloomy hor- rors of the "Big Marsh." in the darksome hoar when the spirits of the few are on the -watch for the unwary traveller. Influenced by these appall- ing considerations, you teat yourself away from the roinantic seem, and hurrying forward, soon find yourself within the limits of the "Corpora- tion of Bern c. " -The " limits" are iiot yet very wide not deafly defined,. and " Corporation" must betaken in a figurative sense; nevertheless, it cannot be successfully contradicted, that Berne 15 110 inythe of imagination, but has a palpable, - material existence, and, in broad daylight, is de- lightfully visible to the naked eye. • As is natur- al, your first thought is to compare it with your own: ambitious village. You observe that it is not so large as Seaforth, but you mast remember that, as in men, so havillages, size is not a meas- ure oepower or importance ; and Berne possesses thera, and will be on hand. With nay contribution certain advantages over Seaforth, which may yet as usual ; but L beg leave most humbly to decline give ib the ascendancy. Ammar these advantages, going 1)1.k to the be:Rfiiw and dunning for money (if you hatc any feat' that the publication of the andfitid to IN, ork . follol,vnig particulars Inv injure the prosperity of In shert, I like trials of reaPerse-they have your vilrage, you may leave this part oat) is the done a great deal of good, and I hope will yet do cheapness of village lets 'tura building sites, in mach more ; and upon certain .conditians I am thisplace,as compared withthe. large sums de -- mended for them in your locality. o striking is this despatity that it is quite a auzzle in political economy to explain why the people of Seaforth, if aware of the ftta, do not maize a universal and simultaneouerush to this place. But this is not mar only advaatage Over you. Divers modern prophets have affirmed that there a cloud, rather over the bigness of a 11111Tes hand, suspend- etj. M the northern horizon of Seaforth, which, 1 it htir,' Win hi; the in os writ of Your HiettOREEN Ha,y, July 12th, 1870. of salt, and all the kingdotas of the earth, groan- ing M tribulation for the same. will send numer- ous deputations to Berne, praying for the speedy opening of the mines so that they may be reliev- ed from their exceeding great distress. To grant -the petition of the sufferers, and dispose of .our salt at the fabulous rates it will then command,' will be, at once, a master. stroke of business and benevolence. Berne will then grown") like the great tree from the diminutiye mustard seed, antl spread its mighty branches abroad. to the four corners of the earth, and. Seaforth no longer. the great salt centre of:the world. will be darkened beneath its shadow. In the meantime, however, it. cannot be denied that Seaforth ,is slightly alead, but certain improvenients have been made here lately, which augur well for the • fatale. Eirstly,-.—a steam mill has been- erected, which rattles away in splendid. style, and turns out the very best quality of flour; and secondly,—a great number of the inhabitants have subscribed for the " EXEOSITOR." Both are creditable, but the lat- ter alone, you will readily allow, is a sufficient guarantee that the place go ahead. It was our intention to give you a more substantial ac- count of the village in population, buildings, etc., but the figures of die last census having escaped our memory, and the plan. of our stTeets and squares not being at present within reach, we must reserve the subject for a future occasion. Hoping you may meet with no untoward accident in your return trip, we hid you- affectionate farewell. Communication. To the Editor of the Huron Expositor: DEAR There is no doubt, that many of your readers will expect that some reply, or ex- planation, is °required. from the Directors of -the 8. H. Agricultural Society, in conneetion with -a letter from Mr. Robert McMordie, which appear- ed in the "EXPOSITOR" of the lst. inst., I am not stire, though Secretary of the Society, that I a.m ;called upon, or that it is my duty, to be its month -piece at all times, to explain its proceed- ings or defend the course of action the Directors of tilsaid. Society may be disposed to follo-w, from all, and sundrY, who may be disposed_to at- tack them; bat as there will be no meeting of the board for some tithe, and Mr. McMordie being loud and. urgent, and the public led to believe _that there -is something rotten in Denmark, and that some l dire calamity will befall mankind, if there ism) mowing or reaping' Matches at Kippen this year, I think, under such circumstances, I will be excused for troubling you with this eommunicatiora No one can deny the im- portance of, and benefit to be derived. from, trials of reaping and mowing machines. I have always been deeply interested in them. What I have done for their maintainance is not for me to say - their past history can best testify. But I think I am in a position to tell the truth, and I am determined to take neither the one side or the other, but simply to state facts as I know them. 1 think Mr. McMordie is scarcely candid-- I am very sorry, indeed, to find it •so—in trying -to make it appear, that the old Kippen Reaping and :Mowing Society, hadnever any trouble in raising • funds; for no one knows better than he, that the few—hbaself included—who bore the burden of heat of the day, had got perfectly tired dunn- iny and beuying for funds, and that this same mat- ter.; of hard to raise the ways and ?newts, was the grand primary reason 'why a move wah made to turn the whole thing. ova: to the legally consti- tuted, legally organized, agricultural sobiety. What were the terms and. conditions? Simply, • that the County Society would. continue to have reaping and mowing matches somewhere in the „ vicinity of happen, aral that whenever they ceast ed to do so, . they were to return thefunds. For two years they have faithfully carried out their • contract, •but at a loss to themselves, as the matches have not been self-sustaining. It ap- pears that this year, some three or four machine men, or their agents, had. stated to the President, that as there were no improvements this year, and as it put them to a considerable amount of expense to attend these niatcnes, it would be as well to have none. This taken in connection with the fact, that the County Society saerificed their plowing match last year, for the sake of the matches, induced tlie Directors to unanimously pass a resolution, "That their shouldbe no mow- ing or leaping matches this year, *but plowiug match instead." Now, where is the violation of the contract? Where is Mr. MeMordie's -bond that the C`ounty Society was to have a match every year ? And even if he had, to whom is the money to be paid? He -would surely be swal- lowing the largest of the big camels, who would try to make it appear, or to prowl that the Direct- ors of the S. H. Agricultural Society, was to have no discretion in the matter, as to when they would hold their matches, or trigs of mowers and. reapets.rf Mr. Ma -fatale and his cbadjutors are perfectly sure that it is solely and alone, in the interests of mowing and reaping, that they wish to have matches in the vicinity of Kippen this year, then go in, in the old. *style -I am with ready to aid. to -the utmost of my humble abilities in getting up one this year ; but for the hfe of Wheat, (Pall) 1.7 bushel, 1 :06 to 1, 20 me, 111 view of the whole,circumstances from my Wheat (Spring) it' bushel, I :05 to 1:10 sta.ndeoint, 1 cannot find fault with tile Directors • Barley ta bushel, 0 AS to 0:51 1 of lot 22, con. 4, certified by A.

To speak in pit tetins, it is supposed that the railway pro ected through the northern town- ships will 0 ,a,w off a large portion ot your trade.

It may therefore lie taken for granted, that such be- ing the case, who can say what the future of this apparently insigthficant village may not be? That the working of these vast mines would be remune- rative there is no doubt, as certain local philoso- phers, after the profoundest. cogitation, extensive consultation of maps and diagrams, and numer- ous chemical experiments, have boldly ventured the opinion that the opening of an .oil well, a salt or gold mine or the discovery of iron pyrites in paying quantities, in this locality, would be a matter of congratulation to the neighbourhood. Rut it is not our intention to dig for these hidden treakures initmediately, for several cogent reasons. Frst, —on the principle of "waste not, want not," second,—we should be puzzled to find a safer place to keep them, and third„—there is no law in the land compelling us- to do so. Moreover, (but you must keep this dark) we have a deep political scheme in view. We look forward to the time when, several billions of years from now, the Seafoith salt mines will be exhausted, and a grievous famine will arise because of the scarcety Oats t? bushel. • Butter, ti' 11). 0:55 to 0:60 035 • to 0:35 • 0:17 to 0:17 Peas It' bushel, Eggs- • 0:12 to 0;12 Bides, 0:00 to 5:00 heeit Skins, 0.40 to 1;25 Crey Council.
