Miscellaneous.
-Rev. James Cheetham, formerly of
'Woodstock, died in Jackeonville, Flor-
ida:on the 24th of last month, whither
he had gone, with the hope ef improving
his health.
-A man named Anderson, of the Base
Line, BlanShard, had his leg broken on
Tuesday, 5th inst., while taking a load of
wood. to St. Marys. Part of his load
wag falling off and he got down to fix it.
While doing so his horses started off,
and the wheel of his wagon passed over
his leg, causing the accident.
-Mrs. Livermore, a lady from Boston,
has been lecturing on temperance in
Toronto. -City papers say that Mrs. Liv-
ermore is decidedly the best lady lectur-
er that has yet visited Toronto. Her el-
ocutioh and language are° both of the
highest order, and in her loftier flights
of eloquence she is magnificent. . Her
addresses were interrupted with applause,
which was as unanimous as it was de-
serving.
' -Mr. Robert McAuley, Con. 10,Kin-
loss, had the misfortune on the evening
of Tuesday, 5th inst., to lose his barn
and contents by fire, caused by the explo-
sion of a coal oil lantern. At the time
the fire originated there was a valuable
span of horses in a stable attached to the
barn, and it was with considerable diffi-
culty one of the horires was saved, the
other one could not be got out. Mr.
/vIcAulay has the sympathy of his neigh-
bors. His loss will be very great, as the
barn contained the whole of his past sea-
son's crop.
-The Barrie Ad -ince has tbe follow-
ing: "An elopement is the latest town
sensation. The parties are a young man
named Chas.. Millard and a woman
named Cooper, wife of Walter Cooper,
Peel. street; and the pair Wok the train
for parts unknown on Tuesday morning,
last week, the woman taking with her
about $100 of her , husband's money.
Millard ha.s been wolking as partner in
the lathing business with Mr. Cooper,
during the summer, and had boarded in
his house. The erring woman is the
mother of six chadren."
-A case of svvery painful kind was
brought before Mayor Revell, at Wood- -
stook, on Wednesday. Information had
been lodged. by Constable Martin against
a Mrs. Dodge, of West Zorra, for alleged
cruelty to her step -daughter, Mary
Dodge, who, it appears, is sabject to -fits
and otherwise incapable of taking care
of herself. The poor creature, it is al-
leged, has been hut up in a datk room
for ten months with little or no clothing
except a straight jacket. She has been
place:al in jail for the present, where she
will he cared for. The Stepmother was
remanded to stand her trial.
-Last Saturday week,MrseMcDonald,
,a widow in, Toronto lost unaccountably
,$78. It appeara,that she had drawn
the money from the bank intending to
start a store at 350 Queen street west.
Having gone into a grocery store to buy
some articles, she says she put her pock-
et book on the counter, and forgot to
take it with her when she left. After
getting out into the street she became
aware that she had not her purse, and
accordingly returned, but it could not be
found. She informed the police of the
circumstance, and Henry Salmon, tIte
young man who attended he, was ar-
rested on suspicion. . The next day the
detectives found the money iecreted in
the cellar of the grocery store.
• -An American, writing from Toronto
to the Philadelphia press, cannot make
us Canadians out In the shockina way
we keep Sunday. He says.: "Accord
mg to the glorious British constitution
and law no railway passenger train goes
in and. out of Toronto on Sunday. On
looking into this Puritanical programm
a little further I found that not a singl
newspaper, is published on Sunday mor
ning. From what I can learn Protest
ant Canada is very austere on the Sat,
bath question. Saloons are closed with
a whack, and I infer that all the law lef
unenforced during the balance of the
week is brought into play on Sunday,
when every old lady, especially seen on
the streets, steps as stiffly and circum-
spectly as a graven image." t
-On Wednesday, the 6th inst., the
fate of the young man Charles McDon-
ald, from Paisley, who was lost on the
15th November while hunting in Mus-
koka was ascertained. On the day men-
tioned above, Mr. John Bascom, of Ux-
bridge, who formed one of the party in
search for the missing man, saw his gun
lying againstia log, and on going a step
or two further found the body of the un-
fortunate young man. On examination
it was found that a ball had entered on
the right side,- about the lower rib, and
had perforated the lung in an upward
direction, corning out near the middle of
the left shoulder blade. An inquest was
held, and from the evidence adduced the
jury had no trouble in coming to the con-
clusioe that McDonald had died. from the
accidental discharge of his own gun.
- exchange states that the wife of
Robinson,- -who was the defendent in the
late celebrated case of Brown vs. Robin-
son, that occupied the attention of the
Montreal police court for sonie time, and
created a great scandal -after her hus-
bend's connection with the girl was term-
ed, was often taken unwell from some
cause she could not explain, and was af-
fected in such a way as to leave very lit-
tle doubt that repeated attempts were
made to take her life by poison. Froni
the time Robinson and Miss Brown were
arrested and incarcerated Mrs. Robin-
son's illness ceased, and she has never
been in the least affected in the same
way since.' It is thought that the allu-
sion in the letter published in one of the
evening papers, and written to Mies
Brown, in whiah Robinson expressed tt
hope that he would soon call her Mrd.
Robinsen, showed that a -plot had been
concoeted to make way for her entering
into that relation. After being discharg-
ed by the Police Magistrate Robinson
left the city, heartlessly abandoning his
wife and family, and has since remained
absent, leaving them without funds. He
is believed to be in the States in company
with Miss Brown.
--Isidore Marechal, the notorious bur-
glar, made the following declaration at
the Montreal Ail on the 6th inst.: Al-
fred Lavoie, of Montreal, did acknowl-
edge and 'confess that on or about the
15th day of October, 1876, he did. ac-
companied by two others, enter the of-
fice of the Montreal, Ottawa and West-
ern Railway .at Hochelega, and stole
therefroni about- 8O�;$that the officle
had for months previous to the robbery
been watehed, and. that Alfred Lavoie
told me that the robbery could only be
committed at dinner tirtg, as Mr. Kent,
the agent, carried thecashboxhome
every evening; that the said A. Lavoie,
accompanied by his brother, visited me
(Taidore Mareschal) at the English hoa-
pital of Montreal the first Tuesday after
the robbery was committed at the office
of the street railway oars at tloohelaga,
which robbery Ate confeesed to, saying
that he soon would !clean out the Mon-
treal, Ottawa and Western Railway of-
• fice. Marechal has ainoe been sentenced
to three years' inaprisonment in the Pen-
itentiary. i
-The Brantford Expositor has the
following sequel to a ruined life as enact-
ed at the Police Court in that town one
morning last wet. In the dock appear-
ed Andrew Perrin, one of _her Majesty's
Justices of the Peace ni' and for the
.County of Brant, to answer to a charge
of '"drualt and. disorderly," and the Mag-
istrate inflicted the apparently severe
sentence of $50 fine, or six months in
jail. Prisoner v'ais committed. A few
years sine Perrin was one of the most so-
tive of our busittess men a member of a
firm doing a 'large and lucrative trade,
but for the past few years he has become
so debasediby sPirituous liquors as to be-
come a nuisance to society. gis wife and
children have heen clriven from home,
and the property he once possessed is
eitherclissipatod or deeply embarrassed.
Such is the wreck of a life comnaeneed
with moderato drinking.
-A daugheit Of Mr. Charles Watsdn,
Third Concession ofj Wallace, about 9
years of age,met with a serious accident
last week. Mr Watson was leading a
horse from the watering' place, and the
little girl was following up close behind.
She was told to keep back from the
horse, though it was not known to have
a habit of kicking. No further attention
WU given to here till her fat her accident-
ally looking wund, saw her lying on the
ground. Onaunning up to her he found
that she was iasensible, having been
struek with the horse'a foot in the face.
Her front teeth ,were knocked out, the
nose badly smashed and the end of the
chin bone broken off. Under naedical
skill, she is sloWly recovering, but will
probably be -disfigared for life. This
should. serve AS aswarning to parents in
allowing their children to get too near
horses.
-The last fair of the year, held at
Napanee on Tuesday Dec. 5, drew a
• large crowd intc. town.. The roads were
good, and the se' 'son of the year was fa-
Torable to a latge influx, but 'the busi-
ness portion or ,heday's affairs did not
realise expectatiens. The horses offered
were not worth inention, and the cattle
were not so numerous as usual, and were
uniformly of a poorer character. Buy-
ers offered only from $7 to $14 for mulch
cows, and from 100 to $65 for oxen.
Holders of the fOrmer asked from $14 to
$18 but sold for a good deal less. Own-
er,' of oxen asked $70 to $90, and refused
. the offers made. Farmers were in a
quandary; they idid not like to sell for
little more than the hides were worth,
and if they did not sell the alternative
was to buy feed. There was uniform
quiet during theday.
-A very ' distressing accident occur-
red at Jona Station, Canada Southern
Railway,. on Thnrsday afternoon, 30th
ult. • When the express train was ap-
proaching the town line between Dun-
wich and Southold, John McIntyre,
son of widow McIntyre, who lives in the
neighborhood of the place of the acci-
dent, was driving over the track with a
spirited team of horses attached to a
heavy lumbering wagon. Thel young
man did not hear the usual whistle until
it was too late; and when he observed
the train he tried to cross with all speed.
He failed to . clear the track, however,
and the locomotive collided with the
wag:41 with a terrible crash. The urifor-
., tunate occupant Ives hurled a distance of
- -I 95 feet, breaking one arm in four diffei-
eut places, and smashing his cheek bones
into a 'pulp. When -found he was bent
head and feet together and wee black in
e
the face, and Whei lifted. the blood spurt-
ed fro his face. The breathing is from
-
- holes Which wet made in the cheek
- bones. Dr. Case den., was immediately
called to attend him,I•and did all that
medicalskillcould do to alle
t
suffering. He lies insensible,
hopes of recovery ar
medical attendants.
i
-An exchange gi
late his
and. no
entertain by his
ea the foll wing ac-
count of the fella e o crops in the North
Riding of Water oo County: "-A cor-
respondent writiug from Conestogo de-
plores the dullnees of the times in that
village. .He says: At this time last year
a hundred wheat teams would be stand-
ing in the village at once ; now if two
loads come in we think it .a pretty big
thing. The mills here and at Winter-
bourne would be idle only that they are
grinding America] wheat. •Manyof the
farmers in the neighborhood will -have to
buy the flour for their bread. •The crops
have varied more than ever heard of be-
fore. On one feral the fall wheat thresh-
ed 30 bushels to the are; on the next
only five. A large field of turnips gave
nearly 900 bushels to the acre in one
part, and on the worst of i# there were
300 bushels, while on the other side of
the road the yield was less than 200
bushels. - Some have no good crops ex-
cept hay, while others have good oats,
peas and barley. 'Again, others thought
they had fine spring wheat until they
threshed it, and one man with a splendid
looking field of ten acres was nearly sure
he had 300 bushels, but to be safe he
counted on only 150. He threshed it,
and as it came from the separator it
measured just 40 bushels, and when this
was cleaned he had 25 bushels of screen-
ings and 15 of what he called wheat,
but looked likeehicken feed.
• Bob Ingersoll' s Dream: ,
One night, after speaking in his nsual
fashion to an audience of many hundred
persons, Bob Ingersoll went to his cham-
ber, and laid him on his bed to rest. Be
had a dream. °
The man dreamed that he stood in
space, face.to face with a great clock,
that slowly beat out the seconds of a
miserable existence. The face of the
clock was as the ghastly face of death.
The hands crawled over the face like the
worms of corruption, 4nd crawled slowly
on towards the midnight hour. Every
tick of the clock was the plash of a greati
drop of blood in a pool of ore. Every
plash Of blood sprinkled his/
bosom' with
hideous red. • He tried vainly.; t� wipe
away -the stain--; and he fouled that his
hands, too, were red like his bosom with
and like the pool of blood at the foot of
the clock. But the heads of the clock
crept on to midnight.
There shut in around him a hot, suffo-
cating fog of night. I Then the hopes
and loves and hates and aspirations with-
in him groaned and gasped and died.
The hot, .suffocating shroud of . vapor
wrapped him more closely, and he, too,
groaned and gasped; but death came
not to him as it had come to his. hopes
and affections. He stood there alone in
the dying universe, alone with thesreat
clock that splashed :blood at ':the beat of
of every "miserable Second while the
hands crawled on to midnight.
THE I-IURO,N tXP.OSITOR.
To this man every breath was an ag-
ony, every heartthrobla century KA pain.
He felt his bones crumbling in decay,
and his flesh rotting while it clung to
him. His tongue was swollen in his
mouth. His throat was dry and horribly
bitter. Ile cared no longer for the stains
of red blood, but bathed his brow and
his eyes in the pool and moistened his
lips with the clotted gore. In the same
breath he blasphemed and prayed for the
light of the morning.
The hands of the clock reached mid -
„night and stopped. There were no grow-
ing hours thereafter, no dawn, no morn-
! ing, no light, no sun. Even the blood
I stopped plashing, and the pool dried
away so that he could no longer ffmisten
his lipslor quench the indeecribable thirst
that consumed him.
In anguish that was terror, and in
terror that was agony, he broke the aw-
ful silence and cried
.4 Is there no sunlight?"
A -Voice, louder, harsher, hoarser, and -
as sneering as his own, answered ou of
the silence :
"There is no sunlight for the sti rer
up of 'strife."
Alter an eternity, again he cried:
"18 there no dawn ?"
And the Voice replied with a hitter
sneer : ••
"There is naidawn for the dopier, and
the liar and the blasphemer."
When an eternity of eternities had
passed, he cried out once more :
"My God! Is there no Morning ?"
And tin Voice cams back :
" There is no morning, and you hive
no God !"

DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN

-NTO MAN should.berrow money without a very
'LI good prospect oi profit from its investment.
And to bias Land or make Improvements on
placei that willpay vefl for the outlay,are a suf-
ficient realion for a Farmer's Loan. Having de-
termined on the outlay, the next anxiety will be
the sonrce ofsupply about which considerable
care should be tsed. It shOuld be
obtained on such terms as -will not be likely to
distress the borrower, either' as to the payment
of its interest OT the return of the principal. Al-
though the utmost caution may have been used
in making an investment, yet it often happen.s
that an tualereeeen accident may wear to him-
self or family, or the failure of a season's crop,
may place the prudent farmer in such difficult
circumstances that if a Loan cannot be obtained
serious loss must follow. The Loans made by
