Tim, Avmatg. FRIDAY. August lst, being the 45th unniversary of? West. India. Emancipa~ tion, the coloured. people of Essex or- ganized a grand demonstration at. Am- herstburg, which drew. over 3,000, abrangemhwho came from. all parts of the country. This was the largest demonstration of the-kind ever known in Ontario. Tfiz Solicitor-GBueral of the Lagisla~. taro of Quebec has introduced and pass- ed its first reading a. Bill to determine cases in which Coroner's inqiiests inay be held. In urging the claims of his Bill the mover said , that. inquests .were .held in numbers of unnecessary cases find that. the. Bill was intended to reâ€" . strict. inquests. to .cases of death, under suspicious cilcumstances. It. is high time than such a. law was passed in this Erovince as well as in Quebec. Tnz assagai of the Zulus is a slender shaft. of elastic wood, five feet in iength and about as thick as a man’s little fin- an, The head of the weapon is blade- shaped and held in its place by bands of rawhide. which secure it as firmly as icon bani. In flinging this spear a vi~ bmbory motion is given to it, on which its accuracy of {fight depends. A Z'ulu'a equipment consists of three or four of these destructive .darts.and a. shorter and ntrongomtabbing assegai. It is asserted that Sir Alexander Galt. is to be appointed Agent General of the Dominion in England. The Montreal Gazette says that he goes home to renew the negotiations in which he Was engag- ed last winten‘tona bettezvtrade between Canada .West, certain European coun~ tsies and the “last Indies. The impor- tance of such a mission cannct‘he over. ~utimated,,quul the .entire fitness of the Envoy to uceomplish success, if success he possible,._will ,not any where he doubt- WOOD VILLB, AUGUS’I' 7, 1879. A‘BYoLAW for the erection of certain portions of the Counties of \Vellington and Simooe into a separate countyâ€"the county of Dufi‘erinâ€"is to be submitted to the people of that county on August 12th, and the Port Perry Observer thinks “it “about time that this endless rope of a County of ours (Ontario), Starting atthe American frontier and running back to the north pole, a few yards wide and no one knows how many miles lqng, was somewhat. modified, wane it. only to bring it. within the. bounds of common Sense.” Tm: lute Prince Imperial made a will which gives about $100,000 to friends, ‘ besides providing life pensions of some- thing like 820,000 a year to certain ohhers. But it. is understood that the epEmpress has scarcely more means at. her command than will enable her to live in the modest style she now sn1,â€", ports. Where is the legacy money to come from? It. is mentioned as n sin-,- gglm' tact tlmt_Natpoleon 1., by his will nude at St. Helena, bequeathed miln lions of .francsto various persons, but his estate only proved to be worth about $200,000. Some of the swells having control of that pleasant watering plnee,.i\Innlmt.. ten Beech, absolutely refuse to allow either Jews or their families to resort tqtlmt pleasant retreat. The J‘erws, as might be expected, feel annoyed at the gratuitous insult offered to their race have mmle up their mimls to bother the swells ; the plan they are adopting is to get up daily excursions of the, very least desirable class of negroes um’H send them right to Mnuhutten Beach with instruc- tions to remain there all tlny.nml make themselves as conspicuous as possible. The uegrocs get free rides and a little tq procure rnfreshnwnts and they are as willing to goins‘the‘Jews mete. send Al‘hhhfiAMW glow and. 53121135. “ Pro Bono Publica" “WV CATTLE are dying in Herkimer coun- ty, N. Y., from. what appears to be a new cause, Veterinary surgeons who- have examined the animals, are unable to alleviate or class the malady. The cows sicken and.die within forty-eight hours after the attack. Some are dead within ten hours after the appearance i of the disease. The symptoms are first apparent by the cow's milk drying up, which occurs suddenly and without any warning. At one milking the cattle will seemin good health ; at the-next, the milk will have. disappeared,.and death follows within.half a day. Some of the dead ones have been examined by autopsy,.bnt no evidence of known diseases can be detected. The lungs seem in a normal condition. It was thought that the grass might have con~ tained a deadly weed, but changing them into other fields seems to have no t effect. MISS: NELLIE Tnuas'ros, the. only ,; lady serouaut in‘America, who will take ' her flight for the clouds, from Almonte, on the 29th of August. is a neice of one of the most noted” and daring balloon- ists of ’ his day; She made her first ascension when only eight years old, and has made about forty ascensions in all. The first time she went up alone was at Poughkeepsie, N' Y” in 1871.. 1 On that occasion Profi. Squire went up. in the “ Atlantic" and Miss Thurston. in another balloon at the same time, the two starting together. They kept in sight of each other for a time, until the daring lady threw. out part of her ballast, when she shot into the clouds like a rocket, out of sight of her fellow aeronaut and of those on earth. Prof. Squire ascended through the - clouds soon after and emerged into open sun- light, but some little time elapsed hefore he caught sight of the lady voyager, ,so far above him that the balloon looked no larger than a. .‘ man’s‘.. hand. The Prof. is of opinion that the lady must ‘ have been afouu miles from.» theemth. ‘ The adventurous lady is well educated, and qualified to give an intelligent de- scription of her serial voyage. She was long a student of a prominent institu-. tion 0! learning, and moves in the best circles of society, only navigating the clouds from a pure love oi. the excite.- ment. Tm: Farmer's Advocate,- the August nnrnher of which 1:1. before us, predicts a. large yield and good cr.op through out Unta1iothi3 year, and gives the fol- lowing sound advice to the farmers :â€" “ WIe repeat again our old; cryâ€"Sell, sell, sell ! Let others speculateâ€"follow your own businessâ€"one- business. is enough for any man to. attend to proâ€" perly, and when men devote their en" elgies to speculating they are apt. to do so at the eaciifice ofmoney, p1ofit, hun- ' esty and honor. As a eneral thing you will find this the ca. . A few may succeed, but the majority lose by divid- ing _ their energies. Either farm or trade; sell yoursutplus crops ; pay your debts and take care of the surplus ; use it in raising more and better stock, and heavier crops, and making your home con1l0rt11hle.Do you think that f:1:1mer is happy who has not a shade t1ee to p1otect his unoomfmtable-looking stock from the hot snnl Some have not a l tree to shade the children while playing or working.

On Wednesday.23rd, about 2:30 P. 51., as a. train,on the Midland was starting out the. engine driver noticed a. lorry coniingjowards him on the slight down grade,_ skirting Beamish’s mill pond. ‘ Heimmediatelysonnded ‘ down brakes,’ making the whistle fairly scream, then reversed his engine and thus managed to avert what looked like a promising catastrophe. The larry wasluden with ties and was coming down in charge of the section men at a rapid pace. The ‘ efforts of the driver to stop his train at- l tracted many people in thedirection ot' 5the train, but before they could reach it, the larry was dumped and the train proceeded on its way. The" prompt action of the engine driver deserves to be noted; as the result of inattention on his part might have been serious.â€" A rowing club is organizing, to Incld weekly races on the bay. Just befare going to press we have heard nnpluaamrt. reports of rust in wheat, both spring and fall. It has developed most. rapidly and. suddenly. Being so far advanced it. is hoped that. the fnLLlwheata will n'eoeive 11m: injury besides shrinkage, but the spring wheat will most. likely be ruined. On Friday evening last the steamer Cnrrielln conveyed Mr. Hamilton Cor- bett and a party of his friends to Long- ford. On the wharf MnyorSumon,in be- half otlthe party presented Mr}. Corbett with a. coloured gold locket, with a square and compass on one side, and on the othezvthe words: " Presented to Hamilton Corbett by his Orilliu friends July, 1879.” At the residence of John Thompson, Esq” the piano was brought to the lawn, Mr. Corbett sang several pieces, there was some speaking and several votesof thanks. Report for various parts of the pro- posed new Cunnty, with Oeillie as the County Town, show that the scheme has been steadily gaining fnvour with the farmers during the past two years. It is sale to say that the more the scheme is fairly considered the more it will commend itself to the people, as being economicsb.convenient, and in all respects desirable in its results. \Vould it not be well for the Midland Railwuv to hold another meeting of its creditors and propose some new scheme for liquidating the claims of the latter. That. 2i) per cent. scheme seems to have fallen through for want of funds on the purl of the Company. , At all events there are numerous creditors here who accepted the terms and have heard noth- ing further about paymentâ€"Packet. @ur gdghhnm.
