Blackett Robinson, Ontario Parliamentary Print- er, and Publisher of the Canada Pres- byterian, will be publisher. The editor- ial management will be under the personal supervision of Rev. F. W. Clark, who is well and widely knewn as an able and clever agricultural- writer. The Rural Canadian, according to its prospectus,will give chief prominence to Agricultural matters, and eepecially to newly developed farm inthistries, such es dairying,cattle feedingifor the foreigu market, fruit culture, (.44c. It promises to be wholly independent of all organi- zations, cliques and sectional interests, and to speak out boldly on all questions of public and social importance. It win be publielled at the low price of $1 per year. There should be ample room in Ontario for a good, independent agricultural joernal, and if the Rural Canadian fulfils its promises we have little doubt of its ultimate suc- cess. RETURNED.—Mr. Thomas Govenlock returned from the old country on Wed- nesday evening last. After disposing of his stock Mr. Govenlock took a week's holiday and visited several points of interest in "Auld Scotia," and spent a very pleasant time among the friends and scenes of his youth. We regret to learn that his cattle speculation did not turn out as well as could be wished. The meat trade is very dnll in the, Old Country this season, and prices are un- usually low. Many cattle exporters have lost large sums of Money. This is much to be regretted, aS men of the enterprise and means of Mr. Govenlock and others, who have ventured in this cattle export business, have been ' pro- ductive of very great benefit to, the people of this country, and it is to be regretted that while doing good for others their speculations do not ,turn out well for themselves. However, very likely they will have better luck the next time. Mr. Govenlock looks well, and judging from his appearance we should say that his trip has done him more good than will counterbalance the effect of the poor luck in his business speculation. FOR MA.NIT0131.—Mr. J. M. Lawrie, of St. Catharines, brother-in-law of Mr. S. Dicksbn, post master, leaves here to- day for he Birtle District, Northwest Territory, accompanied by Mrs. Lawrie and family. Mr. Lawrie accompanied - Mr. S. Hannah and 'Mr. K. McLeod to the Northwest last spring. He went simply fOr a trip, having no intention whatever of settling there. He was so much taken up with the appearance of the country, however, that he purchas- ed a large tract of land within three miles of the village of Birth?, returned home, disposed of his business in St. Catharines, and is now en route to his new home. He takes with him a number of horses and a, lot of _other stuff for use in the new country. Mr. Lawrie is a shrewd, active business man, and although we do not antici- pate he will stick long at farming, yet we have no doubt he knows what he is doing, and that the change of location will be profitable to him. He says the country around Birtle is settling up surprisingly fast. When ,he went out there last spring, he thought he was going to the very outskirts of civiliza- tion, and now there is a smart village and the -surrounding country is nearly all takertp and much of the land settled upon. HONESTY OF A BRITISH SAILOR.—Mr. James L. Shepherd, of Clinton, sends us the following, which is well worthy of publicity. He says: When I came to this country first I settled in the town- ship of King. After four years' resi- dence there, I thought I would go a I forth, market yet.—Mr. little further west, and determined to 1 and Miss Wilson returned remove to Clinton.

It is a far hotter crop than expected. The harve t seems bounti- ful, but the laborers are few. $2.50 and $3 per day have been offered, but no hands can be got ev n at these large figures. Revive', Senvices.--,Protracted meet- ings have been going on for the past three weeks in the Methodist Episcopal Church, under the management of Revs. Diokie and Ling. The meet- ing was one of gre t SUCCeSS. The brethren labored with reat earnestness, and their labors we not in vain. About eighteen sough and found sal- vation, back -sliders ere reclaimed, and members wonder ully strengthen- ed and blessed. In al it was a meet- ing which, I think, w I never be for- gotten by the inhabita . ts of this place. The meeting was cond cted in a differ- ent style than we had :ver seen before, ,and, no doubt, had it b en carried on a few weeks more, the e would have been more brought ie to the fold of Chrii3t. But they see •• to be directed by the Spirit to go i . to some other place, where they rise.ght labor still inore successfully, and the meeting was plosed on Friday eveni • g. The closing sermon was preached by Rev. F. D. Ling, after. which Rev. N. Dickie gave a very earnest exhortat'on to the un- eaved. After the close af the meeting a letter, was handed to he gentleman, thanking them for the reat amount of goodwhich had been roc ived in the meet- ing. It is our prayers hat those men may long be spared to unfold the un - searchable riches of Ch ist to a dying world, and when their labors for the Master are completed ere, may they gather with the saints t the river and Wear a starry crown n the golden Shore, and every soul they win to Christ will gain a star t their crowns. We believe theirs will e one decked with many stars, which will shine bright in the celestial c ty where Jesus reignsupreme.—A Lis ENER.

One of the young men who were arre ted in this town the Other day for st aling sheep from a farmer in Biddulph, and selling them to Mr. Flanaghan, of Clandeboye, has been recognized as a young man named Thomas Cockwe 1, a son of Thomas Cockwell who fo •• erly lived in Elma. Mr. Hart of Fullar on, indenti- Bed him as the same perso , he having worked in Fullarton some t o years ago with Mr, Thomas Francis. Little, the other, scamp and the older of the two, was recognized as a perso who has regularly been passing up and down through Mitchell and vicini y with his team, at intervals of two or !three weeks Rix 20, 1881. without any seeming business. It la therefore thought that they have .been extending their operations over a con- siderable extent of .territory, the team serving to convey !their booty td the headquarters of the gang, of which they are supposed to be metnbers. Little, as is stated elsewhere, was over -taken and captured on the road between here and Dublin. He had a, team of horses - and a democrat wagdn, which he said belonged to himself. When arrested he procured a man to drive his team s.nd wagon to Brussels,1where he said he had an'',etncle who evould take charge of , them. • fi A .SITDDEN DEATH. — An old lady , named Ann Brown, wife of Mr. Themes Brown, died in the township of Logan on the 26th inst., tinder very distreesing circumstances. Deceased with her husband came from the vicinity of Chatham to visit the families of Messrs. Thomas -Shipley a.nd George Baxter of Logan about a week ago. Immediately on her arrival she WW1 taken ill and died on Tuesday. She was 76 years of age. Her remains were taken to her home on Wednesday. Tuckersmith. NEW MACHINE.—The Msssrs. Mode - land Brothers, the W611 known thresh- ers of this township, have just got home a splendid new Separator threshing machine to run with their engine. This machine was made at the works of Messrs.McDonald Plaherson,of Strat- ford, and was built specially for the Messrs. Modeland. It is considerably larger than the ordinary machines, and it is claimed will do much more work and do it better. We have no doubt but the enterprise of these young men will be duly appreciated by their patrons,- and that the increased work they will be able to do with their new machine will do more than reward them for their outlay.

CHURCH OPEN/NO.—The church open- ing tea meeting and social held in con- nection with the opening of the Preshy- terian Church here, passed off in , a pleasant and most satisfactory manner. The church was opened on Sabbath, 17th inst., when appropriate and itn- pressive sermons were delivered itt the forenoon and evening by Rev. Mr. Lochead, of Londesboro, and in the af- ternoon by Rev. Mr. Leech, of Dungen- non. The church was filled to its ut- most capacity during all the services by attentive and appreciative audiences. The tea meeting on Monday evening was a grand success. The tea was served in the Grangers' [Hall, nearly op- posite the Church, and for quantity, quality and variety could not be filer - passed. After ample justice had been done to the good things so bountifully provided by the ladies,all repaired to the church, where a rich intellectual feast awaited them. The Rev. A. y. Hartley was appointed chairman, arid performed his duties in a pleasant and satisfactory manner. The addresses delivered by the reverend gentlemen present and by Mr. G. Jackson, of E - mondville, were of an appropriate and excellent character, and were listened to throughout with rapt attention. The entertainment of the evening was veep much added to and enlivened by the choice music furnished 1 by the Bible Christian Choir, of Exeter. On Tues- day evening a social was held, which was largely attended, notwithstanding the busy times with the farming cone- munity. The church oplening tea meet- ing and social netted the handsome sum of nearly $120. The Building Committee, and all those who have so liberally contributed to the erection of this neat and substantal church are worthy of all praise, and we trust their labors -in thia good cause will be truly blessed to themselves an4 others. • Blyth.

Hyde Park. On passing throngh - the triumphal arch, one of the pair of horses attached to the barouehe became restive. A footman at once alighted to quiet the animal; but before hecould do so both horses rushed down Constitu- tional hill into the Mall, in direction of the Horse Guards. A brougham cross- ing the path, they were turned through Marlborough yard into Pall-mall, where the carriage carne into collision with a lamp post in the centre of the roadway. A policeman caught the horses by the head and brought them to a standstill, and the Princesses, who were naturally much, alarmed, and their governess were able to alight.
