True, there was some disturbance at the door where the hungry crowd were trying to gain admission to the Drill Shed; but nothing of a serious natare. Although, had it not been for the assistance rendered the Bowmanville men byithe Oshawa brigade and the Hawilion Hose boys, the probabilities is there would have been a seriousrow. Happily, every- thing passed off better than was expected. At about 6.30 the Port Hope Brigade marched off the ground, on their return home, aud were quickly followed by the other brigades, all highly delighted with | their visit to Bowmanville and the treat- ment received by the citizens. All went | home the same evening, with the excep- tion of the Hamilton brigade, which re- mained in Bowmanville till the next morn- ing, where they enjoyed themselves well, and made many friends during their short stay by their good behaviour and jolly good nature. A There were many neat uniforms among the firemen, but, without exception, the one worn by the Captain of the Oshawa fire company was the neatest. This we heard remarked by a. great many. The new dress of the Oshawa Hose boys, was also very neat. Chief Engineer Hoskins, of the Bow- manville brigade, the coommittee of man- agement, and the citizens generally, de- scrve every credit for the efforts put forth by them to entertain their visitors.

It passed through her shoulder like a bayonet, and in his mad career he bore her some thirty feet before he shook her from him. Ny behind this mangled victim he continued his mad career, snorting like an alligator out into the alley between Carr and Riddle and Seventh Streets. Here was playing the little boy of Mr. William Hurtman, a child of four years of age. .In a moment the bull was upon him, and thrust his sharp horn into the poor child's head, penetrat- ing through the eye into the cranial cavity.

It is but fair to say that a great num- ber of the curious who had paid their en- trance money to see and hear the man were somewhat agreeably surprised, for notwithstanding all that had been said end rumored concerning his mode of life, and the delicate state of his health, the Claimant appeared to be in a surprisingly good eondition; and the manner in which he spoke, although not very loud, was suf- ficiently clear and to the pu . There appeared on the platform behind him Mr, Whalley, M. P.; Mr. Onslow, M. P., Cap- tain Hunt, R. A., and several other gen- tlemen. The appearance of the gronp as | | | | ful treatment of Parliament, the tatoo may be imaginéd, was the sign for an im- 1 burst of appl , in reply to which Mr. Whalley came forward iy | roposed that Captain Hunt should take the. chair, explaining at the same time that in order to clear up all difficities, avert all suspi- cions, and answer all inquiries, it should distinctly understood that Captain Hunt had gratuitously. accepted the post of sec- retary to the Defence Fund, and that every inquiry would at once be answered n seconded, Captain Hunt, on accept- ing the chair, called upon Mr. Whalley to opening a heavy battery upon the Govern- ment, the Attorney-General and the press The Claimant himself presently advanced and added considerable weight to the pro- ceedings by his appearance. He managed to keep the attention of the audience fixed for more than half an hom, with scarcely any interruption. One person in the body of the hall who made sowe personal allu- sion was politely requested by the chair- man to appear on the pla'form and state his objections; but the indignation of the meeting was tarned against him, and he had to withdraw. The Claimant's address | which hedelivered with the aid of a few memorandas only, was listened to in deep- est silence, for none but deepest silence would allow it to be heard. The govern- ment grant for the prosecution, the scorn- marks, and a dozen' other incidents fami- liar to us as household words, were touch- ed upon, and evidently the Claimant in his tour had caught the knack of ealling his audience by the pleasantest and nob'- est of names, and assuring them that they were examples to the rest of the world, p which naturally called forth tumultuous | applause.

FORTY MILES ON HORSEBACK IN TWO HOURS, (From the Detroit Post.) The announcement that Chan better known as the ** California Boy," whose wonderful performances in the sad- dle have won for him a wide celebrity, would ride fifty miles in three hours, drow quite a fair number of ladies and tle- men to the Hamtrack race-course - day afternoon. oh To enable the young horseman to exe- cute his arduous undertaking a dozen fleet California ponies were in waiting near the grand stand, thus enabling the rider to' hange horses at the end of each mile. Mr. Reticker has upward of thirty of these | ies, all sel for their speed and { bottom, but it was not necessary to bring | them all -into, requisition for this race, Four experiented grooms who also travel with the he , were in attend At precisely 2.50 o'clock *' Chan" Eriskly from his dressingroom in the j stand and signalled for the first horse to brought up. Reticker isa well built, se- tive young fellow, and was dressed in a | jockey costume, consisting of a blue shirt | with white rolling collar and white cuffs, { white corduroy knee-breeches, white stockings, stout riding shoes, and a red, white and blue cap. "he is about twenty. two y of age, snd for the last tem | years almost literally lived in the sad. | | dle. He was for a long time in the employ {@f the Adams Express Company on the | Plains, and when but twelve years of age | he rode a pony express from St. Joseph to Sacramento. s The wiry little pony was brought wp, pawing and prancing, and so start that it seemed a rather dertaking for the rider to mount. With | one bound, however he was in the Mexican | saddle, and, the pony being released made a tremendous Spring, 'and was off like a rocket. The little sorrel went fi | days the back stretch and the mile post in 1.05, when his riuer evidently . hecked his speed, and he came in unter steady pull in 2.26. As Reticker.reach- ed the stand he lea; from his A sprang into the saddle of the fresh which the grooms brought out, and was off again before the spectators got through applauding. On this and the succeeding circuits of the track he took his time com- ing in in 2.24 and 2.33. Reticker then took' a swallow of ice-water, and mount. ing his horse, started off at a which indicated fast time. He came in in 2.12. Mile after mile was accomplished by the dashing rider, who exhibited no signs of fatigue and rode as if he rather emjoyed. it. At the conclusion of the sixteenth mile Reticker mounted an ugly vicious sorrel pony, who admirably answered to the description of Mark Twain's celebrat- ed bucking horse. Several minutes were lost in endeavoring to induce the animal. to do any thing stand on his hind legs, when he sudden! strong disposition to lie do Boy" was compelled to di another steed. On the sefenteenth turn of the track he made up {for lost time, coming horae in 2.07, the time of the race. The first twenty miles were made in fifty-five minutes, and the twenty five miles in one hour and nine minutes. | Reticker then retired to his dressing room and rested for nearly ten minutes, when he remounted ind continued his ride. It was then plainly to be seen taat he would herd his feat within the allotted time and have considerable time to spare, 80 it was decided not to prolong the race beyond the fortieth mile. This was ac- complished in 2.30, making the entire dis- tance, including stoppages and in cne hour and fifty six minutes. - As this left him one hour and four minutes inbwhich to ride the remaining ten miles, the spectators announced themselves as satisfied, and the race was ended.

After parading the principal | streets, the procession wended | its way | back to the Drill Shed, where tables cap- {able of accomodating 500 pergons at a | sitting were erected. The good people of | Bowmavville had made provision for 5,000 persons, and the pretty girls of the town were there to wait on the visitors. The | sents around the tables were quickly fill :d and the waiters commenced work, which { they kept up without intermission till after six o'clock, over 5,000 men, women and children partaking of the gaod things | prepared for them. | While this was going on jin the Drill Shed " amusements" of a different nature i werd being indulged in out doors, sach as | racing, jumping, base ball, danging, ete, and a happier crowd never got together.

Never was there a more orderly crowd | y | the many when the procession was formed at the | his friends before leaving Uxbridge. The *"saitable entertainment" spoken of in the above was given Mr. Cummins, and what took place at it, will be teen' by the following : -- '" Geo. Wheler, Esq., on behalf of the villagers, presented Mr. J. B. Cummins, who has been Teller of the Dominion | Bank here for the year and a half, with a Gold Watch valued at $150, as a testimon- ial of the esteem in which l'e is held by all who /have had the pleasure of his acquaintance. During his stay here he has made many, very many warm friends. who will often miss hin: from their social gatherings, of which he was the life and | soul. Mr. Wheler read the address, to which Mr. Cummins replied at some length in a very spirrited and stirring manner, in which he hurriedly reviewed l:asant days and months he | had passed in Uxbridge since he had | made it his home, and declared that no matter under sun he might be doing his duty, no matter in what clime he might be roving, and no matter whether near or far he could and never would forget his | many Uxbridge friends. More particularly | would he ever recollect the events of this | eventful evening. The testimonial he had received was rendered doubly dear to him by its being quite unexpected. He knew he did not deserve so flattering a testimonial. He had only dome his duty, but he was proud that Ris services had | given such satisfaction. Mr. Cummins concluded a very interesting and lengthy speech amid Youd applause," We welcome Mr. Cummins as a citizen of Oshawa, and hope that he may make '* many, very many warm friends" in this village. | Bible Christian 8. 8. Anniversary. The Social and Entertainment came off (as announced) at the Bible Christian Church on Monday evening. The ladies, with their usual skill and liberality, gra- | tuitously furnished such an ampitnde of provision as defied the efforts of all com- ers to exhaust. A larger numter than was expected partook of the good things provided, and when children and grown people had been satisfied below, they proceeded from the basement to the church, where a very pleasant entertain- ment was given. After singing and a prayer offered by the Rev. J Kenner, the Pastor, being in the chair, called upon Mr. Arthur Rundle, to read an address pre- pared as an accompaniment of a large Bible, presented by Mr. Quarts on behalf of the Behool to Mr. John Gullock, the Superintendent. The address recognized the important position held by "Sabbath Schools, the superiority of moral to mere secular instruetion, and the zeal and urbanity, uniformity and punctuality dis- played by Mr. Gullock in attending to and presiding over the school. - The Bible which was morocco bound and beautifully embossed and 'magnificently gilted, con- tained, in addition to the usual matter, an addres to the reader, an extensive table of contents, chronological and other tables, the Psalms of David in metre, an extensive concordance, a family register assembled, owing, we believe, to the fact well for parties to kéep a close watch on their clothes lines, ! | Tromas Crark Streer, Esq, M.

He also expects a lot of fine goods from Eng- land in rbout two weeks. Parties want- ing any of the above goods it will pay them to wait until his stock arrives, as he is noted for keeping the best goods in the market. Tre Canada Christian Conference is now in session at the Christian Church in this place, and will continue over Sunday. The proceedings will begin at 9. am. It is expected that preaching will take place each evening of the session, and public services will also be held at 2. p.m.; on Saturday afternoon, and three times on Sabbath. Nearly one hundred delegates are expected to be present. More than usual local interest is taken in this session, as matters affecting the union of the Dis- ciple and Christian Congregations will be brought efore bit.

So Wan- dering Willie took his departure the follow- ing Sabbath, not tyet thawed out. The feeling for him is that of supreme con- tempt. Respectable Conservatives will have nothing to do with him, and the Reformers would only be glad to show him how exactly they can measure his popularity in Western Ontario. They must be warm friends of his who sent him up or invited him to South Bruce on such a fool's esrand. But of course they must keep up a show of ppposition to the Ontario Government, although they know full well that the game is all up with them, and that this Riding is sure to remain a supporter of the present Ad- ministration. i Now that Hincks has transferred him- self to the Pacific Ocean, the Province of | Ontario has only two of its elected mem- bers in the Government--Sir John A., and can be detached if tolaiieds and the machine will still cut and deliver the wheat in unbound sheavés, with less draft and greater precision, and leave the land cleaner than a self-raker, as now made, will Sa Hence, if the wire ust in binding is objected to, machine still a complete Restor, Trevrgans of the Government have all along claimed Mr. Rochester, who defeat. ed the Ministerial candidate, Mr Holmes, in Carleton, as a supporter of the Govern- ment: But the Londer's at Ottawa seems to think this » mistake.
