In fal- ling he caught hold of the shaft with his left hand, and his Weight coming upon his arm while in on outstretched posit-ion. his shoulder was badly dislocated, the humerus (we believe it is callcd) being entirely out of the socket, and resting upon his breast. Fearing that. he was going to faint, Mr. Richardson did not like to get into the vehicle, and so he walked [nu-k to Bobcaygeon. a. distance of about hull‘u mile, with his arm resting on his whip-stock, and when he "or, home, at once. sent for medical aid. Dr. )IcCamus, who was first called in, made several ef~ forts, assisted by Mr. Joseph Graham, to set the limb, but the resistance of the muscles was so great that they could not accomplish it. The patient declaring that the pain was almost past endurance, Dr. Bonnell was also sent for, and he having chloroform with him, the sufiei-er was soon rendered unconscious, and the opera tion was then performed without difficulty, as the muscles relaxed the moment in- sensibility was induced. Mr. Richardson, from whom we obtained the above facts, says that he is progressing favourably, and that he does not sutfer much, al- though his rest is broken, as his shoulder pains him if he remains long in a. recum- bent pOsition; indeed he tells us that he is troubled nearly as much by his breast as by his shoulder, in consefiuence of the necessary force applied to prevent his body from moving while the doctors were pulling at his arm. He is, however, we are glad to say. rapidly becoming convales- cent; and his congregation will no doubt soon have the pleasure of again listening to his excellent discourses. THE WEATHER. â€"The weather has been very variable lately. On Saturday last the thermometer under the verandah of the church of England parsonage stood at seventy six late in the afternoon; but since we have had two or three cold windy days with slight flurries of. snow and frost at night.

At, any rate, whc~ thor it turns out a. safe investment or not. the risk of profit or loss ought to have bar-n divided; but the cheerful alncrity with which our Dominion Govorimiont ac- cept all the hazard. and jump at all the conditions of British Columbia. cannot fail to impress the inhabitants oftlmt re- gion with a. strong sense of the liberality or grammes of Canadian pulilicians. “ Oh, but," say some of the Government sup- porters, “Canada won't feel the expense; the railway will lm ‘miilt by private capital- ists who will take lands in pay"; but with regard to this method ni'cnnstruoting tlw roml. one at” our exchanges, the Ma- (lm‘.

As the road is not only to he iiuilt but to be run By the Dominion, it appears to us that British Columbia is getting decidedly the bth of the bargain ; especially when we consider that the line will run through 2,500 miles of countr '. which includes the. Rocky Mountains and considerable wilderness. and consequent- 1 mar not a? workin" OX‘wnsos for . p z.- I A very important measure has just been arried in“ the House of Commons after a rather long debate.

The terms of admission. which are of course numerous. are considered. and we think with reason. unduly advantageous to British Columbia, and some of them were strongly but ineffectimll)‘ cmnbntted by the Opposition.

E On Monday morning last Mr. Boyd, of l Bobcaygeon, lost a spun OdelllzlldU horses. ‘ which were drowned, vo Were first in' formed “ in a men] hole although, as we expectedâ€"and found. upon visiting the scene of the di3:.isterâ€"â€"thi.~s statement “'LtS not entirclv co 'ret‘t.

This pond or lake, which is formed by rain and melted snow, covers, we are told, quite a large. area, and where the road runs through it appears seventycr eighty yards wide, the depth in the middle being variously stated at. from six to ten feet. About half Way across, and on the left hand side going from Bohouygeon, there Is a. well-hole from whirl», in summer, ex cellent water is obtained, but in spring and fall it is covered by the pond which is then formed. Around this dangerous pnfis there is a new road, which was ren derod necessary by the increase of travel in the neighbourhood; but whether Mr. lioyd‘s teutnster W'N ignorant of this fact. or thought thzlt the Water on the old track was of only a. trifling depth. we do not know; but he took the latter road. and (L few seconds after entering the water his horses were. out of their depth and floundering in afli-iglit. No doubt the mun did the. best he could under the cir- cumstances, but his etihrts, whether-judi- cious or otherwise, were unavailing; the team swerved from the track, made a dash for the shore, plunged into the " well hole". where the water is at least. twelve feet deep, and in a. few minutes after. were flouting lifeless on the surface. As soon as the disaster was made known at the office, half a. dozen men were sent down with a team and some ropes, but a raft had to be constructed before the drowned animals could be reached, and then it took :t good deal of hard work to get them and the waggon drawn to shore, as the hind wheels of the latter were jammed in the hole and several feet un~ der water. The waggon had nothing in it but two hand trucks for drawing slabs on, which Were on their way to the Squaw River mill. Mr. Boyd tells us that the drowned horses were the best he owned, and were worth fully $300. We are in- formed tlmt, about nine years ago, a’span of horses were drowned in almost pre, cisely the same spot, in consequence of breaking through the ice in winter. DROPPED DEARâ€"On Saturday last a mare belonging to Mr. Thornton, cOOper, of Bobc-aygoon, died on the road about four miles from home. Mr. Thornton, who was riding her, says that she stum- bled in a mud hole, and immediately afterwards stopped as if hurt. She went a short distance, however, but suddenly fell, throwing her rider off. She then rose and walked to the side of the road, and, upon being led back to the track, fell again and expired almost withouta struggle. Whether she ruptured herself internally when she stumbled, or died from some other cause, is not known, as the carcass was not opened; but Mr. Thornton thinks that possibly botts may have been the cause of death, as he had noticed the more biting herself and ap- pearing uneasy in the stable, but neglect- ed to physio her. The animal, though somewhat up in years, was a good one, and not long ago was about the fastest trotter in this neighbourhood. We often see in our exchanges, and sometimes transfer to our columns. short articles in favour of advertising; but, as a rule, the remarks are _addressed to merchants and manufacturers, and, in. deed, to all classes but the members of the agricultural community. Now, to our thinking, a farmer, when he wishes to buy or sell anything for which there is not a regular and steady demand, will find advertising just as beneficial" as any other man. Said a country subscriber to us, the other day: ‘- You don't know anybody who wants to buy a, span of horses, do you?" We said that we did- n't; but that if there was an “intending purchaser” of horses in this neighbour. hood, the best and quickest my to find him was to put a small advertisement in- to the paper; and though this advice. if followed, would put a dollar or two into our pocket, it was sound. and founded on reason and experience. which a good deal of advice is not. There are almost al- ways, in every section of country, farm- ers who wish to dispose of horses, cattle. c., and others who wish to purchase, and their wants can be made known at a very trifling: expense through the local paper, which is far ahead of the so much lauded “ Quarterly Fairs" as a means of bringing buyer and seller together. Then, :gain. the advertiser has the. advantage of com- petition, which may make adifi‘erence of several dollars in the price which has to be accepted, or the price, which has to be paid. for an article. Many a farmer has had to keep a span of horses or a yoke of oxen several weeksâ€"perhaps monthsâ€"- after he has no further use for them, at a cost which would pay for a good deal of advertising, and then sell them for less than they are worth to some tight cus- tomer who has everything his own way; while very likely there were two or three ‘ other persons Within a radius of afew‘ miles, who would gladly have giVen a i higher price if they had only known the i animals were for sale. In the States i everybody advertises, and the Rural Nut- Hunt-Cr, which charges a (Jo/In)“ (L lime Jbr mwy/ iusm'lirm, or about .‘vn «hi/mus 1m- I'm-ll ; {y'space, contains hundreds of advertise- i mcnts every \vm k. We notice, also, that i in the older townships of Canada, farmers t advertise to a much greater extent than they'did a fcwymrs, and the agriculturists of other localities will he wise to follow their example. As Mrs. Partington says; .: Blessed are the uses oi‘zulvertising.” FARM‘ERsmADVERTISE. DROWNE ‘ We heard yesterday of a rather novel case. which recently occurred in Caldwell County. It seems an old gentleman rc siding near Kingston, who h 1d for several years been married, conceived a. violent attachment for a young girl living in ,the neiglibourlmod. Whether this attachment was reciprocated, or whether he even made it known to her, We are not advised. It happened, however, that a. young man had also been pnyin g his addresses to the same girl, rind rumor had it that he was soon to be married to her. This coming to the. ears of the old man, he determined to make a bold stroke to secure the object of his affections. His young rival was 001', while he was blessed with an abun ance of this world's goods. He met the youth and deliberately proposed that he would give him his own wife and $500 in cash if he. would relinquish his claim to the girl and induce her to marry him. Strange to say, the young fellow accepted the propo- srl; strungevstill. he submitted it to the girl and she consented to the arrange- ment: and. what is perhaps not so strange, the wife of the first party also signified her willingness to cheerfully become a party to the transaction. Everything thus amica- bly fldleSt-ed, 3 day was fixed upon to con- summate the trade.and all parties seemed in a. fair way of having their wishes grati- fied. Just at this juncture, however. an inseparable object presented itself in the person of the father of the girl, who got wind of the affair. and entered his protest against the swap in the most decided and emphatic terms. The' disconsolate hus- band was compelled_.to return to his own wife - and the young “man, finding he could not get hold of the $500, submitted to the strong decreesof‘fate with the best grfioc possible, and married the girl him- se . . .

The Whig says Lynch is very grate- ful for his release. l There resides on 'l‘acony street, Whit“- ' hail, Penn, just below the bridge. at m. lou'er side of the. way, a family by the ‘ name of Sohn, consisting of father. moth- Qer and one or two children. Henry is ‘ said not to be a drinking man, or as pos- ‘ sessing any bad habits that. might other- ? wise lead one“ to think his idem Were. the .rcsult thereof, but on the contrary a '1 hard working man. Now, since, last Sept... which is about the time when the spirits commenced their work of hauntingr the 9 mindsofithis family, Henry has been the occupant of the. house in question.â€" Strangc noises were heard at night, dis- turbing the family slumhers, such as the moving around of sundry articles of furni- ture; the. inmates the while. according to Henry’s ideas. were taken up by the arm during sleep and terribly shaken, until pain racked their frames. and they Were let down again to recuperate their na- 1 turns for the next onslaught. Another ' trick of these nocturnal visitors was to make the. milk so thick that it could hardly he induced to leave the pans in which it was placed to let the cream rise. Then the well received a touch from the wand of the evil one“ and it became. dry. and from the. bottom came up st ra ngo‘ unearthly sounds, as of defiance and an. 1 lgcr. And so things went on, dayaftcr= day. until Henry saw no relief for him- ; self and his Katrina but to leave the house. This he did, but the. old love re- ; turned, and hack he moved again, only to receive the same cncroachments upon his peaceful desires as formerly. These. he { endured for a time. then left. the house: again. A few days saw the family back. i and a few days more saw another moving : of an outward nature. and the house was again left to spiritual occupants. But. hope came again to the. rescue, and pos- . session once more taken of the. premises 3 by the Sohn iamily, but only a. temporary 1 one. for upon a renewal of the strange; events that. seemed to especially favour; the Teutonic group.
