"THE LAST OF THE FENIANS, We believe that it may be safely usserted without fear of contradiction, that that threatening horde of blackest treachery which has hung so ominously upon our borders for so long a time, has finally re- moved to some other field of operation, where they can practice their unholy call. ing with greater impunity, and with better chances of success. The conduct of our noble volunteers in these threatening times justly entitle them to the gratitude of the country. Officers and men have all con- tributed to bring about the state of security which we now enjoy.

SIGNS OF TRUE PROGRESS, It is with great satisfaction that we hail the completion of another of those buildings from within whose walls proceed eo much real advantage, not only to the lucality in which they are placed, but tothe surround- ing country, aye to the world at large--so many of those blessed influences which tend to develop the higher and nobler facal- ties or the mind--to make better childran, ~ wiser youth, nobler and more useful matu- rity, and happier age. We refer to that neat comfortable chapel just erected, for the Primitive Moethodiste, at the Village of Manchester, and which is to be dedicatdd to the worship of God, on Sabbath the 28th instant, The services on Sabbath will com- nce at 10a. m,andat 2} and 6p. m, Rev. Mr. Lomas will conduct the morning services--Mr. Edgar the afternoon =Mr. Markham the evening. The enter- tainments will commence on Monday at 3 ' o'clock. (See Posters.) This church is quite an genament to the Village, and will . prove a very great accommodation to thal locality. Mr. George Ewers, the contrac- tor, has done his work well--and at a very low, figure, This job will help the young man in obtaining other contracts, The building, which is something of the Gothic, 7831 x45, with 18 ft. posts, and cost about $800 including gratuitous labor. It will -., meat 200 people comfortably. Had it been _ set up a couple of feet higher it would have been all the better for it. The church is , one of those institutions whose presence is indispensably necessary to the well-being of every community. A village without a Church always appears to us like a clock ! without a dial--there is nothing to indicate "whether it is day or night in that willage.

HOW SHOULD THE DOORS SWING, well prepared to receive them. An Act which passed the Legislature of Canadaon the 151h day of August, last past, makes it imperative on the owners of churches, Theatres, Public Halls, places of public resort, or amusement, and of all other places where public meetings ary held~to have the doors of such putlic buildings. binged in such a manner as to open freely outward. This is to prevent, ag far as possible, in case of arm, ihe jam, confusion, and even bruising and death which have so frequently veeurred in con- 'sequence of such doors opening inward. All such buildings erected since the passing of the nbove act should have their doors opening outward, otherwase the owners are lable to the penalty--and all public build: ings mast have their doors so arrauged on or before the 15th day of Augast 1867, or the awnere will be liable to the penalt The | penalty is $50 and $5 additional every week alter notice until the alteration has been windy, 20 Bie uh ATLANTIC CABLE, 'We have read in some big book, or some one has told us; that ¢1wo, is better than one." tradict the statement, from the authority from which it comes--bat we are nevertheless convinced, that it would have been tothe advantage of all concera- ed, if a good many two'sthat now exist had been grouped. in smaller numbers and remained fio ones.'

The services on Sunday, were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Nott, Cotumbus, who preached two very appro-' priate and impressive sermons, lo large and attentive congregations. On Mpnday, after having some good recitations from the children, a tea--got wp by the good ladies in the neighborhood, was served in the grove near the church, The attendance of adults was not quite so large as could be desired -- but a very respectable company took tea, and seemed to enjoy themselves 'exceed- ingly well. After tea, Mr. T. Courtice, Prince Albert, was called to preside over the meeting, who introduced the intellectual part of the entertainment in a very neal address ; after which we had the pleasure The Rev: Mr. Hodge, Hamden, was next called. The Rev. gentleman felt entifely at howe in his subject, and gave usa capital address on the aims and objects of the Sunday School, strongly enforcing the duty of culivating the noble principles of truth, honesty, tempet- ance, and love to God and man. Ho gave us some beautiful illustrations ; Mr. Lamb- km's choir was in attendance and enlivened of addressing the meeting. the entertainment with some well selected pieces. The Sunday School is in a pros-- perous condition--the number of pupils is over filly Mr. Hays is duperintendent. The sohool reflects credit on the locality. FIRE AT QUEBEC, Another of those dreadful conflagrations for which the City of Quebec has long ob- tained 8 most unenviable notoriety took place there on Sunday morning, 14th inst. The alarm was given about 5 o'clock, a. The fire originated in St. Joseph Sueet, in Trudel's low filthy groggery, where a number of those pests of society--those to whose i lebted for 99 out of every 100 of the more fearful calamities that befal us, were gathered together for the purpose of enlightening each others mind by handing round the subterranean fire, and of improving each others morals by the refining and ennobling exercise of card- playing. holy Sabbath comes in, but never mind, fl we are i Saturday night passes away, the their business is important and can't be stopped, and on they go till far in the Sab- bath morning-- when lo ! a fire (not subter- ranean,) borsts forth around them, even that den of deepest darkness is enlightened by the flames ; another monster has been un- chained, who, with his many forked fi-ry tongue, sweeps to destruction within the space of 13 short hours property tothe value of $3,000,000, consumes 2,500 houses, and casts out to a pililess world 18,000 houkeless And more than all human lives have been sacri- ficed* and bodies mutilated. a ---- es SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY. homeless men, women and children. The Primitive Methodist Sunday School in connection with the Bethesda Church, near Epsom, held their Anniversary on Tuesday, 16th instant. n commenced about noon, when the whole The entertainments company sat down 1o an excellent dinner. After dinner the Rev. Mr. Smith, President of the Circuit, was called to the chair, and opened the proceedings with a. very neat, appropriate address ; alter which a number of well selected recitations were given by the children. Mr. James Lee then address- ed the meeting--his subject was ¢ The Sabbath School and its .results' --he made Mr. Anderson, Merchant, Greenbai:k, followed -- his sulject was The Prospects of the Pious." More recitations and several performances from Freeman's choice band, brought the hour for 'tea. ' The social commenced in the evening at 63 o'clock, when we had the pleasure of addressing the school. The Rev.

V.,) in the Presbyterian Church Utica, on Sabbath next, 21st, at 2} o'clock, p. Mm. eae diate We beg to call the attention of our readers to Capt. Sinclair's advertisement, which will be found in our advertising columns. It is far from being a matter of indifference to the pubic where they pur- chase their goods, especially liquors, as in them more than in any. other commodity the buyer, having no means of testing the quality of his purchase,must rely on the in- tegrity of the seller. It is almost unneces- sary for us 10 say to our readers that in buy- ing at his establishment the fullest confi- dence may be placed on his integrity. tt pe 01 DREADFUL DISASTER AT SEA, The * Evening Star," commanded by Captain Kuupp of the New York and New Orleans Mail Steamship Company's line of Orleans oo the 29th ult, A despatch from Savannah to the New York 7%ibune, dated the 8th inst., says that the «Evening Stay" foundered at sea, 180 miles East of Tybec with 309 souls on board, mecluding the crew. . One of the boats was lowered, and 18 pereor:s, with the Captain and a lady and child--but the boat capsized, and the Captain was lost. How many of the 18 got to land we are not informed--but the boat, we are told, capsized nine times ere it reached land. Four more boats leit the steamer as she sunk, but two of them were swamped. The schooner ¢ Warring' from New York, picked up the Chiet Engineer, the Purser, two of the passengers and two of the crew. This may be all that has been saved--but whether or not, the loss of life has been fearful. The following poetry by Mrs. Hemans is most appropriate : All night the booming minute gus, ad peeled Sou the deep, And mournfully the rising sun Look'd o'er the tide-worn steep ; A bark from India's coral strand, Before the rughing blast, Had vailed her topsails to the sand And bowed her gallant mast. The queenly ship--brave hearts bad striven, 1 And true ones died wilh her : We saw the mighty cable driven Like flating gossamer | We saw her proud flag struck that mogn, A star once o'er the sea, Her helm beat down, her deck uptorn, And sadder sights than these, We saw her treasure cast away, The rocks with pearl were sown, Aud strangely sad the ruby's ray Flashod. out o'er fretted stone! And gold was strewn the wet sands o'er, Like ashes by a breeze, And gorgeous robes--but oh ! thg#Shore Had sadder sights than these. We saw the strong man still and low, A crush'd reed flung aside! Yet by that rigid lip and brow, Not withoutstrife hedied! And near him on the sea~weed lay (Till then we had not. wept) But well our gushing tears might say That there a mother slept! For her pale arms a babe had clasped With such a wreathing grasp, Billows had dashed o'er that fond breast, Yet not undone the clasp | Her very tresses had beeit flung To wrap the fair child's form, Where still their pale long streamers clung, All tangled by the storm | And beautiful--'mid that wild scene, Gleam'd up the dead boy's face, Like slumhers trustingly serene, In melancholy grace-- Fiat shut violet eye, He had known little of her dread, Naught of her agony ! Oh ! human love! whose yearning heart Through all things vainly true Su swamps upon mortal part ts passionate adieu !

It will be seen that only a comparatively small number of the above list, have at- tained 10 the first clags ; but with few ex- ceptions, the candidates obtained the class for which they severally entered themselves. The few entrants in the first class, who fell short in their aim, should consider (which many evidently do rot,) that to be entitled 10 a " first class" certificate, the applicant should rank high in ¢ all>® the branches. There seems a tendancy to aim at profi. ciency in such subjects as Algebra, Geome- try, &e., while those of far more general utility, are understood very imperfectly. As guardians of the educational interests of the County, the Board insists upon general proficiency 3 and can extend no leniency to error$ and short-comings in common sub. jects, because of a high figure being reach - ed in advanced branches.

New York, Oct. 14.--The Herald's Washington epecial says that a number of gentlemen, representing claimants for in- demuity fiom England, waited to-day upon the President, and urged upon him the necessity of taking immedate action. The delay of the British government in respond= ing to the just d | ot our g was freely commented upon. - It is reported that the President expressed himself favor- ably inclined to their views, It was once mada for indemnity within 80 days, with a threat that in case it was not com- plied with. Canada should be seized, and held as security for payment of the claim The political friends of the President are generally in favorfof such action, as a ques- tion. of poliey.. They argue that a foreign war would have a tendency to heal the bitterness. of feeling between the radicals and conservatives, There 1s no doubt that the President considers ihe claim a just one, but dreads incurring the expense of a war from financial reasons, He is anxious to re= duce taxation, and Yo restore the currency as soon As possible lo a epecie basis. At the same time the friends of a compulsory demand for immediate action on the part of 'England, in response to our demand for ini demnity, openly say' that such demand will shortly bo made, aud an army ordered to suggested that the demand should be at ; . oy I % . "Tie Kingston Whig states that at the{recent court of assizés for the county of Hastings, | at Belleville, was tned an action fle by one Graha age three re- spectable justices of the peace named Crowter, Chisholm and Farley, for neglect- 1g to make a retuin of a conviction aginst the plaintiff to the sletk al the peace, with- 1 the time specified by law. The direliction of duty was substantially proven, and the defendants were stuck in for a verdict of $80 against each ot them, or conjointly against all for $240. The magistrates are very liable to commit themselves in neglect~ ng to file convictions immediately, and this case, as well as an other not exactly of the same description, but one of a much similar ¥ character, tried atthe last county conrtfor Frontenac, resulting iu favour of the plaintiff, should prove a warring to them to confor strictly to the law in future. tl WA -- SuppeN AND Fearrul Deatu.--An Ameria can named Darling, whose family resides in Watertown, and who was foreman the tannery of Mr. Herchmer Hamilton, ad Milburn, recently met with a sudden death, by being precipitated into one of the vats.

RR -- EN THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN ENGLAND, The lamentable fact that the cattle plague, has taken a fresh start in England is but too well authenticated. The London Times of tae 19th ultimo contains the following state- ment :-- * ¢ Notwithstanding all the eflorts mace by the ¢ local authority' and the remedial measures carried out by farmers, the cattle plague has again made its appearance in the Garstang district, between Lancaster and Preston. The disease has manifested itselt at Churchtown, at Kirkland and in Upper Rawclifle, and on the generality of the farms ondvhich the plague as 1ecognized by the late inspector (Mr. Breakell) hus existed and disappeared already. The very same animals which some time since recovered, along with ¢ thousands' of others, from what Mr. Breukwell pronounced to be a plague, and which circumstance created eonsider- able excitement among the farirers of North and West Lancashire, and nécessitared the visit of Professor Simonds to the Garstaud district, have been taken ill within the last few days, and some of them have died or have had to be destroyed.' re Lonpon, Oct. 10 --1t is ramorod that the plenipotentaries of Prussia and Saxony have amicably adjusted all difficulties, and that peace negotiations have been finally cone cluded, ea Bank or Upper CANADA.=-As soon as the doors of tlus Bank were opened on Sutorduy morning, there was a general rush to enter in order 10 get coppér cents for Bank of Upper Canada bills, 100 cents per dollur.
