HIS PULPIT SENTTh TS ON PARTY FRO-
G SIONS. !
Last Sunday m ruing , after mass in
St Mary's church Lindiay, aud before
the sermon (preac edly Father Hamel)
Rev. Father Staff rd delivered a _brief
address, in the co rse of which he refer-
red to the disturb nee in . Montreal on
the 125h of July aid the course taken by
the True Witness. i
* * * He wia ed to say a few words
with. regard to th t very painful thing
that happened in A ontreal on the 12th of
July,and also with regard to the conduct
and observations what was formerly,
and what purporte still to be, a Oath-
olic paper, the Tru Witness. There has
beeinlanguage use in that paper that
was iaot Christian ; and he hoped that no
member of his con rogation would allow
hirnself to be in uenced by the senti-
ments expressed y that journal. All
that was necessar to enable them to
agree with what h said as to the folly
and wickedness f the sentiments
printed. in the Tru WitneSs of the past
two eveeks was 8103 ly to recall to mind
what their little fiv -cent Catechism said.
It waS not necessar to be la great theo-
logian- or divinefor hilosopher or a man
of wenderful wisd m, but merely to re:
ember the simple teachings of their lit-
tle catechism, and hey would know that
the sentiments exp eased in that paper
that carne to us el thed with the name
of Catholic, And wi h a past history that
was truly Catholic, and that we were all
proud of --were sen iments that he hoped
ould not be adini ted into the minds of
any of the people f this parish, or in
act of any true atholic io the Do -
inion. v. * * * , *

We are not in a osition, as Catholics,
bo say that we are not responsible for
hat has happene in Montreal.' We
re -responsible. E ery 'Catholic in -Up-
er Canada, every atholic in the come-
ry is responsible fo what has happened
n Montreal. It is °else for any one to
ay it was the mob. A mob does not re -
ort to violence witl out leaders ; a mob
always something that follows and car-
ies out in a viole t way some strong
atholic mob attacking a Catholic pro -
i
eeling that exists i the lower strata of
community. The e was no danger of a
ession, just as there was not the slight-
st danger of themob two years ago in
oronto making a imilar : attack upon
ponsibility with regard to the conduct
1
rotestants of any denomination. We
annot free ourselve from a pertain re-
f those who were only nomirially Oath -
11
lie. It has hurt us, -in the same
ay ae the ad conduct of
ad Catholics. in this pariah hurts
8, and as the viol nce exhibited two
earsago in Toronto, hurt those who on
hat occasion displayed the violence. It
as hurt U8 in Upper Canada; and will
ontinue to hurt us probably for many
ne.g yeears. 1
e* The. Trl4e Witness tells the
rangeoSociety in M ntreal that it is ii -
gal. ,He (Father Stafford) did not
now whether it w s or not; he did
ot care; but if all t e old laws on the
atute book were t be enforced, their
hureli would not p ofit by it either in
this country or in Ire and. There were a
number of things in Ireland that. were
illegal according to law, but the geed

these l w,s to become dead letters. ' It

would come when t ey could say that

and if they are Wrong in what they a0, it is
no reason why we should take away their

that Orangeisrie had smile political use in.
the old, world,ibut it bid
le no use, rea4,on,
or caus of existence i 'this country,an'
f
conseq ently should nit be established.
Every Catholic' in this country thinks
that we would be betterwithout it -that
this conntry would be better' without it.
However, those that farm thissociety
think differently-theY think they Are
far better with it, and that they sho ald
have their celebrations and their proces-
dsious. , The duty of Oatholics in the
premises are very simple. We staud1 in
this country on a footing of equa iey
with them; they are neither inferiors por
superiors as citizens; we have no rigt8
superior to their's; and if a number of our
fellow -citizens take a pleasure in c le-
brating a certain day that they hold very
dear, h (Father Stafford) thought that
all Cat olics had to do as sensible, wise
citizens of this country,as men who were
deservieg to be entrusted with the rights
of freemen, was simply to lode on, and
though they did not approve of it, to let
their dieapproval reinaiii a matter purely
personal to themselves. The Orangenien
don't ask us to approve of their processions;
and all we should do is o min' d our own
i
busines8,.and have our own celebrations
as we think proper. *1 * * As to
the True Witness,he Was sure that if the
new editor of that paper had submitted
these violent editorials to the proper au-
thorities they would never have seen the
light of day, for they are altogether un-
worthy of a Catholic paper, and he hoped.
there would be a speedyl end Put to that
editorial policy. If it is not controlled
as it ought to be he_ honed his people
would de their duty. • He observed that
the editor of the True IlVitness invoked
the lex talionis, the law of retaliation and
went so far as to say that the Catholics
of Montreal were "resolved to give the
'Orangemen a touch of ithat, experience
which the Ulster fanatics inflicted on the
Catholic people of Ireland." He would
ask was that a Christian sentiment?
This language was not Christian sentiI
ment ; it was ribe only not Catholic, but
it was not Christian. Inflict upon Pro-
testants the bitter experience that the•
" Ulster fanatics inflicted upoe.Cath-
olics in Ireland I!" We have not the.
)ower; put if we had the power are we
to inflict upon Protestants here what in
former times was inflicted upon Catholics
in Ulster? Out on such language ! The
paper that would say such a thing was
riot fit to be allowed in:to any Catholic

-On Friday of last week Mr: Smith-
son Morton, while hunting in the woods
on the farm of Mr. John McNincle rear
Gananoque, discovered a large and pe-
culiarly marked snake hanging on the
branches of a tree. It was partly sus-
pended by the tail, with its head resting
on it lower branch. Mr. Morton struck
at it with a stick, but missed it, and thg
snake quickly descended to the ground
and endeavored to get under a log; fail-
ing in this, another blow was made at it,
when the snake suddenly turned upon
its aggressor, and evinced signs of anger
and determination to fight. for its hfe.
A fortunate stroke, however, disabled it,
and rendered its capture easy. The
snake measured six feet six inches in
length, and resembles nothing that has
itherto been known in this country. In
olor and marks it is very similar to the
aconda. Mr. Morton has the skin
stuffed, and considers it a valuable addl-
.= to his collection. We have also
eard of a snake six feet long and of un-
nown species that was killed a few
eeks ago by a farmer named Spencer
olut near Woodburn.
-One day last week, Mr. F. Wieland,
ho resides two and. one-half miles down
tie Saugeen road from Harriston, went
te a small 'beaver meadow on the back of
his lot, to look for water for his cattle
a d horses. Ile sank a small hole about
f ur feet deep, but not finding water,
ent home. In the afternoon he went
b ck to extend his search and found the
h le he had sunk filled with muddy
ater. He commenced b - dip it out with
a dish, and to do so, had to stoop and
r ach in; resting the left arm upon the
s de of the hole. The earth caved in
f am under the arm he rested upon, and
r, Weiland slipped in head first. The
hole being too small to allow him the
least room to move, there he stuck fast,
and the water rising again made his po-
stion a very dangerous and dreadful one.
ut in despair he commenced to wipe
ii the earth below his heacl with his
h 1:1(b3, filling up the bottom, and thereby
k epin'g the water down, and also en-
abling him to keep raising his body up.
For three long hours he kept digging
with all his strength, the water in the
hole steadily . but surely following, and
as the water increased he must either
raise himself or drown; but at the expir-
ation of the above time, with the last
desperate effort, he cleared himself, and

They commence operations about two
hours before sunset, or immediately after

taken and are often to be found in vast
numbers on the fences and stumps or

-The Sturdy abduction case again
came up at Guelph on Saturday, and,
after hearing the evidence of a few -wit-
nesses whose statements merely- went to
fill up blanks or supply links in that of
previous witnesses, the prisoners were
committed for trial. If one may judge
by the demeanor of the prisoners, and
especially of the principal one, they did
not realize the serious nature of the po-
sition in which they stand. Miss Carr's
health still continues poor, and she has
by no means recovered from the effects
of her three days of horror.
-Dennis Price, a tramp, has been
committed for trial for attempting rape
on a Miss Ellen Pike, the daughter of a
rich farmer, living on the sixth conces-
sion of the township of North Oxford.
The girl was on her way to Putnanaville,
when she was overtaken by the prisoner,
who suddenly seized her and held her
down. After a long and determined
struggle, Miss Pike got the bet er of
Price, nearly strangling him. Shle held
him there until her brother j came
along. Prige, a decrepit wretch f 50,
was then unmercifully pummel d by
young Pike, and handed over 10 the
