Dr. May, of the Educational Depart- ment, Toronto, has been engaged to deliver a lecture in Oshawa, on Wednes- day eveniug, 15th inst. He is very highly" spoken of as a lecturer, and we hope that ile may be greeted with a full house. The Woodstock Times, in speaking of his lec- ture tbere, says: -- : " The management of the Y. M. C.

An exhibition in connection with the school is on the tapis | just new, and should one be held I have no doubt, judging from the unusual suc- cess of former efforts in this line in con- nection with the school, that it will afford a rare treat to those who may favour it with their patronage, the object of the exhibition being to procure funds for the purchase of prizes to be competed for by the pupils of the school. A large number of valuable prizes were competed for and presented at the late examination, the contest for the prizes in mény instances being very close and keen. Compnelmentary Supper to Dr. Black on his removal from Whitevale to Mark- ham Village. A very large and enthusiastic company asseiubled, on Thursday evening last, in the Temperance Halli, Whitevale, to do { houer to the Dr. on the eve of his depar- ture from our Village. Supper having announced, T. P. White, Esq., Reeve of Pickering, presided, and over a huidred sat down to the bountiful repast, | doing ample justice thereto, After' the cloth was removed the more intellectual { part of the feast began. . "The guest of { the evening," was proposed from the { chair.

Then came other toasts, such as * The manufacturing interest of our Vil- lage," &c., which were interspersed with vocal and instrumental music ; and as the | fair sex was well represented, I need hardly say that the performance was good --some of the picoes gxcellent. And now came, eventually, the business | of the evening. The Chairman, in a few | very pertinent remarks, introduced the matter, and called upon the Rev. J { Finch to read and present the following address: -- { To Dr. W. 8. Brack, | Respecrep Sik,--We, a few of your very many friends, hearing of your in | tended removal from our nudst, desire to been half of the Council of the Corporation of Pickering, petition His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario, to cause lot No. 20 ig the 9th Concession of Pickering to | rveyed, und the boundaries thereof permanently marked by cut stone or other durable monuments under the authority of the Commiss'oner of Crown Lands, agreeably to sections 11 and 12 of chapter 93, of the Consolidated Statutes of Upper Canada, and to appoint John Shier, P. L. 8, to make said survey, one-half of the land- holders to be effected thereby having ap- plied to this Council for that purpose. Mr. Green introduced a by-law which was read three several times and passed, > appoint Returning Officers and places for holding the Municipal Elections for 1873. Mr. Brown moves that the time for the return of the Collector's Roll be extended to the first of March next. Mr. Brown introduced a by-law to amend by-law No. 318 of this Corporation entitled a by-law for closing up and sale of part of the original allowance for road between lots 12 and 13°in the 3rd Con., which was read three several times and passed. Mr. Brown moves that the sum of §7 be paid to Dr. Ferrier for professional attendance on indigents. Mr. Palmer moves that this Council do now adjourn tili Saturday the 11th day of January next.

By de- positing $21 with the Commissioner of Agriculture of Optario for each adult re- quired, they can obtain labor at a cheap rate, the money to be repaid back to the employer out of the wages of the laborer, except $6 per head which is given back to the employer as a bonus for bringing out each emigrant, or tothe emigrant himself if he pays his own passage out. That this scheme will prove of great ad- vantage to our farmers if properly man- aged is undoubted. But its success will depend mainly upon three things: First, the hearty co-operation of the farmers themselves, not merely in advancing the money to cover part of the cost of trans- portation, but also upon their inclination and ability to retain the laborers upon their farms and furnish men constant work at fair wages summer and winter, year in and year out until he saves sufficient to become the tiller of a farm of his own: Secondly, upon the honesty and practi- cal ability of the agents appointed, of which we understand are to be ten. If they are men having a real stake in the interest of Ontario, and will devote their entire time and energies while in Britain to securing the right class of emigrants and seeing to their being properly cared for until they reach the end of their journey, we may look forward with some hope of success.

We want no workhouse inmates, | or casnal paupers, not shiftless, idle' fel- | lows from the east end of London, or auy | of the larger towns of England. This class | is always ready to move their quarters at short vo ico, npon almost any indacement, | especially in the shape of a free passage ad. When the Australian ria first started, the busi- | ness « ing free passages to that colony ducement to the laboring class to thence, they did not take long to * tha. the plan of securing the ser- vices of parties in Britain of a philanthrop- ical turn, as emigration helpers, did not tend to advance either the physical or moral interests of the colony, and they had to stop the system of free or assisted passages till they could send competent men from home to superintend the matter. Now what we want is men who can work, and mean to work, men of indnstri- ous habits. Men, in fact, who will help themselves as well as their employers and not rest in dependence upon others. ey diseove a wife and one, two or three children to new homes, would be the best. acter; y to learn and accommodate country. We want not only agricultural laborers proper, but also artisans of every class accustomed to labor with their hands, men and clerks of every grade that are always the most ready to ship themselves off to anywhere, provided they fancy they can live without spoiling their complexion or their hands. We have too many of that sortindigenous to the countryalready. A qui la faute after quoting a statement recently made by eur Fort Gary. correspondent to the effect that Luis Riel had publicly assisted at the celebration of the golden wedding of *'General" Lepine's father, suggests that Mr. Mowat may now see justice done on this unhauged felon. The organ well knows that Mr. Mowat hasno power to arrest or cause the arrest of the late candidate for Provencher. All that the Ontario Government could do towards the vindication of outraged justice, they did when they offered with the suction of Parliament a reward for the arrest of the criminal and his trial before a Court of complete jurisdiction. The a Toronto frequently offers rewards for' poration cannot themselves cause the warrant of the judicial authority to be put in force. ntario may reward the capture of Riel, but cannot herself cap- ture him. Sir John A. Macdonald, how- ever, ejaculated at London a few months ago a devout 'would to God !" that he could "catch Riel, Of course 80 eminent an authority on the Constition would net have uttered such an aspiration had it been beyond his power to fulfil it at the popes time. - Then Mr, Blake had made Riel, as Sir John said, "lave that." Now the bird has returned to his preserve.

When Roland Hill, with his legs across | | the baluster of his pulpit, slipped down | and then tried to pull himself up in order to give a practical illustration to his be- wildered congregation of the facility of | back-sliding and the difficulty of restora- tion, he was teaching even a broader les son. To go with the stream, to throw the reins on the neck of impulse, to sway with the storm of passion, to yield to every wave of desire is sasy, but the habits | formed meanwhile are exacting tyrants which will not be disobeyed. The habit of tippling is, perhaps, iaoro imperative than any other a man can form, physical and moral causes combining with social custom to make it especially hard to escape from the thraldom. " To take a glass together," "" to liquor up," "to wet a bargain," *" to drink one's health'--these phrases and twenty others show how completely Bae- chus is worshipped in the modern world, for all one amongst us of pagan tendencies mourns that the old gofls are dead. We can neither be born, nor christenel, nor | come of age, nor got married, nor die, with- out sending round .the wine-cup ; heat, cold, joy, heaviness, good-fortune, ill-luck, are all excuses for ale *holizing the system, and we celebrate our victories, and eon- solo ourselves in defeat, in the same way, Amongst some the delusion prevails that stimulants are necessary ; and in the face of the fact that they are on the testimony of all medical men only useful in ex ept- ional circumstances, and when partaken of sparingiy, or practically speaking medi. cinafly, men played with the' great danger, andy all unnoticed by themselves, pas witht *" gaiety of heart " into the category of victims. Then what a change takes place. Ore by one human, and even respectable animal traits are effaced, and | the case becomes such as might make an | apostle despair. The highest as well as the | lowest| the most gifted as well as the shal- | lowest, fall. It would be well could we | recall the names of Alexander the Great, of Porson, of Burns, and believe they were exceptions. The brutalizing force meets | us on $l sides. But quite lately we have had toiblush when reading how the people | | of Porgland grew transformed after they | | had tajted the " drink," and how the same | { men whp had given brave assistance to the | Royal fdelaide, at once forgot daty, gen- | erosity} aud kindness, nine persons doing | themselves to death. On no subject could | horrord be multiplied 'with more ease. | During the London riots in "80 the mob | broke into Holborn Hill distillery, and, having, in their drunken frenzy, sef fire to the premises, hundreds were roasted to death. In 1816, when the Medusa was wracked, the French seamen drank them- | s«lves mad and jumped with wild yells into | the sea. In our colamns some months ago | appeared an account of men during the | cholera in Russia dancing in intoxicated | glee around the corpses of their children and wives ; and now there comes a story { from Sarnia to swell the distressing cata- { togne of instances confirming the truth: which we have indeed '"'on the highest authority that *' wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging. Whoso is deceived there. by is not wie." There lived in Sarnia, near the eastern end of Lochiel-street, a Mr. Arthur Smith and his wife. Smith was an attorney's clerk, and seems, when not under the influ- ence -of drink, to have Been an amiable and kindly disposed man, There was no reason why he and his wifd should not have gone through the world hhppily.

In the year 1842, at the age of twenty four, he was sous lieutenant of a regiment of dragoons garrisoned at Lille. There he seduced the dwughter of a respectaple mer- chant, and abandoned her to her shame. The poor girl soon found herscl in a con: dition which renderad exposure unavoid- able. In order to conceal her fault she no more. Last week Captain F. visited, in the company of a few frends, in one of the most frequented bere gardens in Brussels. While there, engaged in a game of cards & quarrell arose between one cf his friends and a young officer of the rifle corps. Captain F. took the part of his friend. High words followed and insults. The upshot was that Capfain F. challenged the young officer to fight a duel , with pistols. they met on the following day and Cap- tain F. killed his adversary by sendi a bullet into his heart. This was on Fri- day morning: Captain F. now hunried home in order to prepare for escape to France. Last sunday, after having set- tléd all his affairs, he packed his valise and was about to leave when a woman in black preseftited herself abruptly at the door. Her face was covered: with a thick" veil | and she appeared crea'ly agitated, her body trembling all over. Captain F. highly surorised "and something like tronbled with a gloomy foreboding, asked her into the reception room. Searcely had he prononnced the first word when the unknown lady in black drew up her veil in a sud len, convulsive manner, and showed him a face pale as death and eyes full of anger and tears. At the sits of the face the Captain retrevtod a step and In that woman in tears and dressed in black, with faded features and hair all gray, he recognized his 'victim of thirty years ago--the daughter of the Lille mer- chant, " Wretch !" she exclaimed, advancing upon him all pale and threatening ; ' *" ac- cursed being ! villain ! murderer | It was| not enongh to have dishonored a woman--' to have basely abandoned her ! You had to kill her child--to assassinate your own son! And such crimes should not go unpun: ished! The most monstrous of misdeeds sheuld leave you in possession of the name' of honest man ! No, miserible destrover of so many innocent beings, yom shall pérish by the hands of your victim." Secrrcely had she spoken these words when sha drew forth a revolver from under her cloak, fired twice and blew the captan's brains out. . She then fired athird and fatal shot at hers-If. 1 ' Hearing the sonnd of three shots the servants and neighbors came rmnhing in very much frichtened.

Once or twice he had had. delirium tremens, and for several days prior to Tuesday week he had 'been indulzing. On the evening of that day he and his wife sitting together in the same room, an oil lamp burning on the table. No doubt the wife was watching him, perhaps remonstrating with him. He became angry--frenzied--and seizing the lamp, hurled it at her. His ainr was only too true, and the lamp was broken against the poor woman's skull, spilling the) oil, which ran down about her dress. Had it not ignited, Mrs. Smith would probably have suffered no more serious injury than many a drunkarl's wife comes through. But as the lamp was shattered the oil took fire, and the woman was literally, in an instant, clad in flames. The alarm was given. The neighbours rushed to the rescue. But before the fir: was quenched the bust, the heady and arms were black, aid the hair barped ccmpletely off,. the unhappy woman presented a horrible spectacle. = Medical aid was had réeourse to in vain, and after twenty-six hours of indescribable suffering death came.

She is removed from the unhappiest of all existénces--that of a drunkard's wife --while he lives so great a wreck that he does not realize 'is position.
