Wo 'don't like to hour croaking, und constant foro- : boAiugs that our hopes ure likely to be hlastetl. It is quite time enough to indulge in despondency when misfortune really btfals us. Until within the past few days, the pros pects seemed good, und most people wore .smiling countenances; but now t]at there has been a few days' lack of rain; we already hear com i-Uiiiti, and note a want of faith a hater from Mr. Thus.

Goorgo Brown was preaont and gave, satisfactory proof that he is onritlod to bo aasesaod for part of tho west half of Lot No. 5, in the 7 th con. j His appeal 'waa granted. The caao of John Kuan's appeal was uoxt tukon into conRidoration, and after hearing tho evidence tliuronn, it was moved by Mr. Nor- riali, seconded by Mr. Ramsey, that after hearing the evidence on the f Esquesing, preferring certain matter of John Kean'N assessment, ilfS^ m ~_i mm ... . Jfrfii- tli future j>rosirity of the growing crops. We are" fre quently reminded of the exce lent pi-ospect exhibited at this t:uit> lust^yeu-, and of the probable rfj-etuion" of tbe failure. Well, l_ there is a possibility tbat aucb may be'ithe case, but how much'better it is td hope for the best? There is preally-:very little cause yet to cti&ii^lain^.and a few copious show- ; effs within -he next few days would #c' doubtless-set all right. Crops are -* well advanced, and look much bet ter than usual. -The past three or fouryears have certainly been, trying ones, and many have been dispairing of the futnre of onr country, some even indulging in foolish d^chiniations . against everythin^ and everybody concern!d in admiiiistering its dom- . estic and political affaiis. The effectstof these "hard times" can. not he eipeHed in a day. It may be years, eye4 under the moat favorable of circumstances before - the country has fully recovered from the depression caused by the light crops, low. prices, and conse- -qOent business stagnation.. There . -"is still no certainty that the stagnation has yet reached its J~cliuiax. It-is not difficult to re member how-our beat hopes havn heietofore been dispelled, after in dulging in the belief! that the wort 'Kad'.bsen reached. We. have all i>eea_witnes&ea of ^a good deal of ruifcery. if we have not alko.felt the effects onraelvea. The'lesson that we onght to have leartjed by this tim, and begun to. practice, is ciiarity and- dependence one upon another.: With the experience* of thepast, 'we plight'now to be ready to accept the situation, and en deavor to be happy. We cannot getr bread and butter by sitting down H.ud whining over our troubles^ or hy- wishing that we were tnjOying tha good old days- of fifteen or_twenty yeaig ago. Our duty is to live econosiically and lop off. useless expenditures until ' the conntry has fully resumed its normal condition. If by the time tho next five years expire, -We are not a different and a bette1-J jieople, tho experienced ahd teach ings of the past years havig been in vain. This matter of economy, is a necesaity and should be universally practiced. If Ave were all more ready to help each other, anil ceate to dictate the method and style in, wbich our neij;bboi-s should live, we honestjy believe the incessant cry of hard times would never motif be heard. It seems;a hard leason for tome of us to learn, this lesson of helping one another, and drop ping our inherent BelnnhnesH, but it is after all the true philosophy of self interest. We should all i realize that we are dependent upon each other, and that our lives and interests are mutual. Let us there fore practice these good truths, be happy and hopeful, and the long' chnrgcis against ^r- -K- Litllo, County School Inspector.

Disturbances have broken out again at Oka, near Montreal, and, as usual, the old grounds of dispute have given rise to the trouble. The Seminary authorities accuse the Profestant Indians of encroaching upon their lands, arid having ap plied to the Local Government, a detachment of Provincial Police has been; sent up to execute war rants Issued against the accused Indians. Tbe troubles this time are ag gravated by the burning of the Roman Catholic Church, Seminary and Presbytery. The Indians aro charged with having deliberately fired these buildings in revenge for the action of the clerical authori ties, and as strenously do the abor- ignes deny that they had anything to do with the fire. Certain it ief however the blame may bo placed^ that the occurrences of the pasf- few .day's will create a feelingi which may have most deplorable consequences, and that whoever is responsible for them, has a.aad of fence to-ansjver for. It is a burn ing Blame and disgrace to Canada that this Oka question has been permitted to lie so long unsettled. - The Elora Bigamist. A Rochester exchange says : " Wed nesday of last week a bigamy case was examined before Justice Crary, of Clarkson, New York State.

Tlie wife No. 2 is a young woman who waa taken into Edgecumb's family as a board er. They afterwards came to the United States and were married,r and in March last Edgecumb wrote to his wife, offering her $500 if she would let him live peaceably with his new wife. The offer -waa re fused, and Edgecumb disappeared. As soon as wife No. 1 learned of her husband's whereabouts in Dansville, where he was living with wife No. 2 she caused his arrest, ljlw claims that he procured a Utah divorce from his first, wife, before he. married the second, at a cost of 125,- Ho was held for trinl by Justice Crary, in the sum of $1,- 000,J but default of bail was sent to the jail in this place." -\ ~ During a heavy storm in Ot tawa last week, a smalt fish, evi dently of the bass species, fell from the clouds to the platform on Sparks street. -The government has establish ed a;new Post 'Office on the pre mises of the Rev.
