At this place I men named Murphy, em- ployed on the med, has n shanty near the track. Mrs Murphy was In the shanty, when she heard I lrein approaching (the 4 o'clock express), and she ran out to see that her child. four years old, was safe. She saw the child on the track, and rushed forward to ssve it. Just ss she seized the child, the pilot of the engine struck her, and both mother and child were instently killed. The engineer sttempted to stop the treln an soon as he saw the danger, but the momentum was so great that he could not accomplish what he un- dertook. The "train was stopped, however, as soon as possible, and backed up to the scene of the accident. A gentleman who was a passen- ger describes the scene as most horrible to look upon.

On one side of the ap- ple is an appearance of what might have been a grape bloom. This interesting [urns dtuf-`F is, so far as we know, without precedent, and, of course, it has attracted marked attention, and caused no little speculation in the circle learned in such matters about Lexington, whose com- munity, we may add, compares advantageously in this particular with almost any other in the State. The prevailing opinion, we learn, is that an apple bloom, falling accidentally upon a grape bloom, became incorporated with it and produc- ed the result; but, if so, is it not singular that such an accident had never occurred before? And if so, again, does it teach that the grape and apple may be grafted on each other `I We hope the pomologists of Lexington will note very carefully all the phenomena of this rare freak of nature, and that they will have the apple photo- graphed, with a portion of the vine, before its re- moval, for engraving and publication in horti- cultural journals.--Rt'c}trnond Witty, A man named Jack Stead, who had been shot by an Indian, was brought recently to the hos- pital in San Francisco, being considered almost incurable, and it was there concluded best to cut the man open and take a look inside of him. He was placed under the inuence of chloroform, and an incision of six or seven inches ' made through his left side, through the cavity containing the heart and lungs. Looking through the incision, when it'was held open, the heart could be plainly seen. The lungs could also be distinctly seen, and the left one was found to he collapsed, at and dead--he was on! by the aid of the right lung. One of his ribs was found to shattered, and a section some three inches in length was cut out of it, leaving the ends smooth.

The En lish party, with the assistance of some 0 the Dutch, had taken Aloemfontein. Seven English were killed. Pea le at home will not understand probably t e difference be- : tween the Dutch party and the Hollsnders. The llollanders, who are accused ofgetting hold of all the Government oices, and of forming a clique to the injury of the coun- ' try, are men born in Europe, who have 3 come out. since we gave up the Orange Free , State. The Dutch party are the colonial- I l horn Boers. Many ofthe Dutch party, how- ever, side with the Hnllnnders. President Brand was born in this colony, and was fora | long time an advocate in a country town, t Annexation with us is eagerly desired 5 I by the English party. The Hottentots have attacked asrnall settlement of English at Walwich Bay. It is a little group of 5 ` men who trade with the interior and sh- ermen of the Cape, about latitude 22 south, . on the west coast, some distance north of . our boundary. There is also a missionary -`station there. The Europeans (by letter rltmea May 29, 1868,) had repulsed the i , natives, but had lost all their cattle. Jan C Junker and Jnn Boys were the euphonious [names of thc chiefs. The Governor has '_LSL'CIl. her Ma_jesty s ship Petrel to render nssistanoe. An American trading schooner (Gertrude Howcs) was in the hey at the ' ,1im`u, and the crew rendered every assis- '|lunco. The women were sent on board.

The same estimate was formed of the naval brigade and artil- lery. It is not to be supposed that French nicers in the circumstances would be in- clld to form an over favourable estimate. We are continually told that Britain is t-tfete and perfectly used up. The symp- toms of this are not very apparent when her position nod attainments in the arts either of war or peace are considered. The Pull fall Gazette IIays:-If the an- nouncement ot the appointment of Lord Mayo as Viceroy of India was only put` for- ward as a feeler," we hope the Govern- mcnt will be satised with the expression of opinion which it has evoked, and re- frain from pressing it any further. We mentioned our own objections to it some tlays ago, and two of our weekly contem- poraries take a similar view of the experi- ment which is proposed. It would be an unfairness to Lord Mayo to place hini in so false and invldioua a position us that suggested by the Conservative journals. The Spedator points out that the Governor-General of India has extremely delicate and difficult duties to perform, for none of which Lord Mayo:haa ever given the world evidence of capacity. `flf Lord Mayo sails in November for Calcutta, says our contemporary, the Liberal Ministry will in December be justified in ordering his recall.

It is intpouible to conjecture what View the new Parliament is likely to take of the matter, but it in easy to no that a meaaure which would satisfy shareholders, guarantee quick and cheap travel- ing, and result in a prot to the Government which would enable it to lighten taxation, would meet with wide and popular support. It has been calculated that if British railroad: had been originally conntrucmd by the nation, and properly managed, a large proportion of the na- tional debt might have been already discharged. And even now, the prots to be obtained by the subatition of good management for bad are suf- cieut to make the tax-payer eager for their ac- quiaition. _ __..... v. auaa uasunu The English Government has already acquired powers under an act ofParliament to buy up the telegraph wires throughoutthe United Kingdom, and it is evident that. at the first lull in the term of party politics, the movement in favour of the purchase by the nation of thexrailroads will de- velope into the most important domestic question the day. The idea has been started by aggriev- ed travellers, acquiesced inby ruined sharehold- eraargued by political economists, and savagely denounced by speculators and directors 5 but, on the whole, it gains inuential support every day. There is no country in the world where proper railroad accommodation for the public could have been secured with greater certainty of prot to the shareholders than in England. And yet private enterprise, controlled by Parlia- mentary supervision, has failed lamentably. The system under which a Parliamentary Commit- . tee of to-day can reverse all the decisions of a similarly constituted committee of the previous session seems especially calculated to encourage ruinous competition between rival companies, while the only remaining alternative is a coali- lion between contiguous lines, with the object of victimizing the travelling public. One of the greatest grievances, of the working classes of from their homes by railway companies eager to construct new lines, and, when driven into the suburbs, to nd themselves at the mercy of other companies who take advantage of the situation by immediately doubling their fares. While the railway companies are thus exciting popular indignation in every direction, there are already signs that any proposition to transfer the entire railway property of Great Britain into the hands of Government, would meet, even now, with very inuential support. The London Spectator, for example, speaks of the railroad companies as banded enemies of the communi- ty, and openly urges their absorption by Gov- ernment. It is true that such a step would be opposed to what are termed "English instincts." But the failure of the present system is admitted on all hands ; it rains shareholders without be- neting the puhlic. And it is bono-ht I1l'\ .. . r.:- ..-L. GOVERNMENT PURC_HASE or RA} LRUADS Th.-.

Then we have Archbishops and Bishops in point of seniority. Here is food for thought. The provision may be suitable in England where there is an Established Church, and where the Moderator of a Presbyterian Synod, or the Chair- man or President of the Wesleyan Conference or Baptist Association, is not entitled to recogni- tion in "Tables of Precedence; but in Canada all religious bodies are equal in the eye of the law, and an Archbishop or a Bishop of the Church of Rome or the Church of England en- joys no higher status than the principal office bearer of any other religions body. We are sat- ised that this question, and the arrangement of the Table, will give rise to controversy, and -the sooner the diiculty is grappled with the better. No special recognition of a particular religious body, to the exclusion of others and branding them with the mark of inferiority, will be toler- ated in the Dominion, at all events in this sec- tion of it. as A newjnethod has been discovered of separat- ing honey` from the comb, by centrifugnl force.

Yesterday about eleven o c|ock our town was visited with a very unusual phenomenon-a wa- ter spout. The whirlwind gathered up the water about six miles out in the lake, the wind blow- ing from_ the north-west, lightning and dark omiuuus clouds overhead.` it first appeared as a small bright speck in the black cloud, some- thing in the shape of a cone turned upside down, but quickly increased in volume and length until it bad the appearance of an immense jet rising several hundred feet in the air. When reaching Nottawasaga Island the column of wa- ter was divided, the larger portion taking a di- rect westerly course across the southern part of the island, picked up a ssilboat which was moored at liJ3 wharf, belonging to Captain Gol- lins, and lifted it bodily, turning it upside down, depositing it across the dock, without any further injury. A son of Capt. Collins had a very nar- row escape from being carried into the lake, it required all his energy in holding on to a stump to prevent the wind carrying him away. Cros- sing the island it proceeded to the shore, where it. lifted up large trees and hurled them along with it as so many ships. While the larger bo- dy was thus tearing along in a westerly direc- tion, the smaller swept along towards the town, lifting the water when it came near the shore in an immense mass about 60 or 100 feet square, and about 20 feet high, boiling and seething Hotchkisa and Pan. . ........u.. was at me utttton House, they want to him late on Sunday afternoon, stating their po- nition, and the affliction in their minister's fami- ly, and requs-sting him to take the pulpit in tho evenittg.
