EFTbo Loégé of the British American Order of Goad Templars, re- cently organized in this village, now On Monday mowing last-our citizen“, were startled by a report which teach- i '9 ed town that Mr. Charles Doyle, a i 0 young men well known in the town, had 21: died from sunstroke on Sabbath, hawél ing been found insensible by the road- 1 : side about two miles from Flesherton. § 1 ilThe first report was to the effect that* t EtCoroner Gordon had been sent for toii i hold an inquest; but subsequently iii 1 was stated that be was not quite dead, I '. i but 'ia-e critical condition, and much '. Ezoomnrcnt was made on the sagacity of': ithe horse, a spirited animal, which stood '1. quite docile by his prostrated master.â€" 4 No clear intelligence of the calamity could be got however, and in the even- I ing ‘two of Mr. Doyle’s brothers taking is with them Dr. Barnhart, started for I; Flesherton to ascertain what 'was the ~ i matter. On arriving at Flesher‘ton, they i discovered that a man (not their broth-_ 3 2 er,) had been found by the roadside on a- i Sunday morning, sudering, not from the e ‘ strength of 'the sun, but from the. t! strength of the whiskey be had imbib- ,5 L ed !

It is r- needless to say that the other chap didn't need Dr. liarnhart's services.-â€" 0. S. â€"- I Times la! inst. sti About 3 o’clock on the morning of the 23rd ult., the Wesleyan Church rc- eently erected in Cornabuss was dis~ covered to be on fire, and before the progress of the flames could he stopped was totally destroyed, nothing being saved but the stoves, a bible and the pulpit. The stable and barn of Mr. Armstrong, both new frame buildings, were also burned to the ground. The buildings were isolated, and must have been set on fire, ‘a suspicion which 'was" strengthened by a lot of shavings being discovered which had evidently been used in kindling the flame. Suspicion at once rested on Mr. Robert Caswcll, a farmer in the vicinity, who appeared to entertain a hatred of Methodists, and i when under the influence of liquor was by no means backward in expressing it. Tracks (supposed to be his) were found from the church to the barn, and then i to his house. He has been arrested and i is now in jail awaiting trial.â€"15. Ireland at the present moment is in " a very disturbed state, in Spite of the terrors of the Coercion bill. Cork is afl‘ected with a trade strike, everybody having left work and taken to rioting} in the streets. The strike commenced g with the tailors, and now the youngl ladies of the industrial class remain at home and sympathise with the “boys” if they do not take part in the rows. iIn the rural. districts a'ggragrian out- } rages flourish with unabated vigor, and l l as landlords are getting scarce the rib- lbon-men have taken to killing cattle. A case has just been disposed of at a l, . special commission in the county of}; Meath, which gives us a geod‘ insight I : into the deplorable condition of the1 country. A man named Geraty was charged with attempting to murder a . Mr. Radcliffe and during the trial one Bradyr an informer; gave an interesting khistory of Gearty‘s life and career.- Gearty belonged to the order of Rib- bon-men and what is called a- carrion- tbutcher, or a dealer in the carcascs of leattle dying from disease or accident. 1 ln furtherance of his trade he was in the habit of killing beasts in the field in such a way as toleave no visible ex- ’ ternal marks of the cause of death. He would then attend as a purchaser of l the caresses, and such was the terror he [ and the Society to which he belonged r had inspired, that no competing buyer 9 dared“ to bid against him, and the herds 9 and farm servants eonceaicd, as far as 3' they could, the cause of the animals’ e death. Ribbonism, like other secret societies, has its grades, and Geratv’s butclieries soon made him a conspicuous member and promoted him in the society to be: “one of Rory’s sons,” who are slayers of landlords and not of cattle. But Geraty was not a successful son of Rory. He was selected to murder Mr. Radcliffe, an unpopular landowner, failed to do so and was sentenced to penal servitude for life for the attempt. The extraordinary disclosures made in this trial have led to the formation of vigilance committees and mutual pro- tection societies among the landlords and respectable classes of the districts where Bibbonism is most rife. It is probable that much good will result from this, but it is hardly likely that outrages non of every-day occurrence can be prevented. The lower class of the rural pepulation sympathizcs with the perpetrators and shows an unwil- lingness to give information which looks very muehlik‘e willing complicity in the crimes. A False Alarm.

The Chairman of the Committee, Rev. “'1 Dr. McCaul, then called upon Mi. J. D. h 0 Edgar to read the following report, which on that gentleman did-wâ€"as follows 3â€" W35 . pic savour. the “The Monument which your Excellency e' will this day unveil to the public, has been ‘ erected under the supervision of a commit- tee of citizens of Toronto, and by means of um I: contributions from the Canadian p‘eo ple. ‘70 l The committee was appointed in J uiy, 1866, erl from among the members of the Toronto kc Volunteer Relief Committee, and was for w. tunate in securing the services of the same ki irehatrmarr the Rev. Dr. McCaul, to whose ( l indefatigable exertions the success of the % lundertaking is mainly to be attributed. I J l feel sure that I am only eXpressing the feel- 9 ing of the whole committee in much regret- tt , ting the unavoidable absence from tJ-d-ay’s } tc . i ceremony of Mr. G29wski, who not only at ' discharged the troublesome duties of Treas- h ’ urcr for the Fund, but threw his whole en- ti f ergy into the accomplishment of the work. V 1 While liberal donations have been received L] from every Province of the Dominion, it may not be invideous to mention that the C largest subscription from any one place was [1 , received from the city of Quebec, and was [)1 collected by Mr. Michael Stevenson. The 0 ‘ County Councils of York, Peel, Enron, and e b’ ‘ Lambton, the City Council of Toronto, and r ‘81 several Township Councils, have also 2 nia “ 8 C 1- 1 made contributions. The remainder of the t , fund has been made up from private sub. scriptions throughout the country, and from ,6 *, an appropriation by the Toronto Volunteer Relief Committee. A site in the Queen’s ‘ Park was determined upon, from its public 1 _ position, and the immediate location was I -.n chosen on account of its natural beauty. I], The selection of a design tor the monument m) was made froma large number of drawings of much merit. Mr. Robert Reid, of the firm of Mavor 00., ot the Montreal Sculpture and Marble Works, furnished the plan that has been adopted, and his firm have most satisfactorily accomplished the work as contractors.

Now, let me not be mis- of understood. I speak not of the whole ti: of the Irish people. I know that there so are thousands and hundreds of thousands h; untainted; but the taint of this wicked tl folly is spread too far and too wide. p1 ' The Fenian conspiracy exists without d. a single object in view which any ra- t1 tional being can propose to attain by its a continuance. Thousands, as we have v , seen of late, are ready at its bidding to l g 1- abounding in resources, where every ° steady, sober man can obtain employ- ment, and rise by his own exertions to competency and comfort. They turn away from this fair prospect, and cross our border in defiance of every moral, social,and internal obligation, and in contempt of the warnings and teachings of the clergy they were in better days wont to revere. They seem to grudge of his honest industry‘the house he has built, the fields he has cleared with his own hands, and above all, the free institutions of his own choice, under which he and his children may prosper. But the Canadian settler has no idea of weakly yielding himself up a prey to the spoiler. He has proved himself as superior to his would-besconquerors in military prowess as in honest purpose, and administered lessons to them on two separate occasions, which, it is to be hoped, will prove of las‘tin'g impression.

It was undoubtedly the Work .3 of an incendiary, as the church is en-1 tirely isolated, and there had been no service there for a Week previous. We ‘ have been informed by Mr. Fagan that there was no insurance whatever on the ,premises. It is a great pity that such I devilish deeds cannot be brought home to the guilty parties; It Was the act of a cowardly, ignorant, low, miserable villain, and a man who is a living dis- ,grace to humanity.
