Next to “ La Grippe,” the chief topic of conversation for some days past has been the suit for libel commenced by the Toronto Mail against the Empire, of the same city, in consequence of the startling announcement recently made by the latter that Mr. Farrer, chief editor of the Mail, had been several .times to Washington with evil intent, and while there had made statements to the Senate committee on- Canadian relations, to the effect that if the United States refused commercial relations necessary to the welfare of Canada She would consent to annexation. The Eilipi're’s revelationsâ€"which are mere- ly enlargements upon hints contained in the Globe some short time agoâ€"have of course made a great sensation, and the result of the libel suit will be looked forward to with the utmost eagerness. If the charges of the Empire be proved true, it will probably give the Mail its death-blow ;' if not, the accused journal will no doubt be awarded heavy dam- ages. The Globe has been congratula- ted upon liaving set the two Tory 0r- gans at each other’s throats ;' but as the {lobe neither sent tlieMuil’s emissary to Washington to hatch plots with the Yankees nor despatched a detective to watch him, its admirer was somewhat premature in his congratulations. The Empire professes to feel. not the slight- est alarm at the legal proceedings com- menced by the Mail, and declares its intention to fight the matter to the bitter end. Penelon Council.

Fell, of Somerville. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr..Loch- end. We all join in wishing tlicyoung couple-a very pleasant trip over the sea of time, and may all their troubles be little ones. A singing school: has been organized in Lamb’s schoolhouse under the lead- ersliip of Mr. James Billet. We wish him every succass. The Bible class being held in the Presbyterian church here is progressing very favorably under the leadership of Messrs. J. Northey and J. Soutliam.

Each one had a gun or something to makea noise, and, on arriving at the spot, to their great disappointment found that the young couple had taken their depart- ure; but Mr. J. Dobcon and T. New- house invited them in, showing them where to leave their guns. When they came out the guns were gone. Say, boys, did you ever get left? More weddings expected here soon. Powles’s Corners.

Lmerrnâ€"Tlierc is not quite as much talk about lagrippe in this vil-- lage as there was~a week ago, and it is. to be hoped that by this time next week all who now have it will have entirely recovered, and that no more fresh cases. will occur. It kindly refrained from. attacking us until. last Friday's Guzctlc wasoff the press; but since then we have-been in a condition that will be- thoroughly undersmod by those who “ know how it is- themselves,” and of course writing has been almost out of the‘question. Samu‘oan's Munâ€"Mr. Sandford's new grist mill is again in full‘opcration, and is now running night and day. As stated in a previous notice, the ma-- chinery is all new ; but, owing to the shortness of the bolt, whiclaonly DICRS~ urcd ten feet, too much shorts remained in the llour,.whicli gave the bread made from it. a brownish tinge that some this the bolt has been lengthened to eighteen feet. and the bread will. now be not only sweet; and palatable, but as white as- the. most fastidious person. can desire. day of last week, at Mr. Thos.

Dr. Broad. of Coboconk,. was as soon as possible in- attendance upon the sufferer, who, under his care, is, we are glad to hear, progressing very favourably. A Naaaow Bananaâ€"A few days ago there was a threshing bee at Mr. Yeoman Smith's, in Somerville, and while Mr. Malcolm Smith. one of the persons present, was doing something tothe machine, the gearing caught his clothes and thacw him against a box: with such force that he rolled on to the tumbling-shaft, around which the skirt of his cent was instantly wound, and he- made several rapid revolutions before- the horses could be stopped. lie was, not hurt by the gyrations, as there was plenty of room for him to pass between. the shaft and the floor; but the collision with the box inflicted some slight inter~ nal injuries, from which, liOcher, he is rapidly recovering. He certainly hall a narrow escape, as such accidents ucn~ orally result in broken heaps, and but too frequently in death. mernuca Lianneâ€"lilies Min- nie L. l’liclps, of Philadelphia, l’a., delivered her second lecture under the persons objected to.
