I Dominion Day! THE KHAM FIGHT. -GARDEN I'AIITY, TEA-MKKTING, &C. Dominion Day opened up bright and cl' ii r and at an early hour large crowds of I'ooplc canu pouring into Fh-sher- ton from the four points of the com- pass. An occasional red-coat, an Indian in full war paint and feathers, and a Half-Breed, passed along the streets and caused some excitement on the part of the large crowd of spec- tators, who were eagerly awaiting the commeuccuei.t of -II. M FIGHT. Shortly after 10 o'clock, the loyal Volunteers, under command of Lieut. Field and beaded by Flcshertoti Brass I!:inil under the able leadership of Mr. E. Vanzant marched from the Iirill Shed to the square, thence down Syilcnham street and over the Boyne; and then crossing into the fields, took up a strong position behind the big hill on the north side of the village. In the monutirne the rebels, under miand of Kiel, Pumont, Pound- maker and White Cap, occupied a strong twsition on the southern bun of the Boync. Between the rival for- ces, through a deep gorge, meandered the waters of the Iloyne liver. For a time " There wa ulloncp <!)> an iloli Aud tin* Uililfst lit'M their breath." Then the gat!i:ig gun, manned bj 'Mill Howard Armstrong and gun nor Yokes, opened a tremendous fire on the loft tl.ink of the Volunteer? c .not ali <1 behind trees and overhang I 'lulls. At the same instant the n'1'i'In poured in a deadly volley of ritk i-liots all along the line. This was answered by a furious fusiladc of well iirectcd sliots from the Volunteer.? who kept up a terrific and inccpsan firing from every gun that could lw 'Hi-ought to bear. The fighting no\\ 1'icanie general, the thundering of the artillery shaking the ground, whilt '.lino and smoke belched forth fiom almost every tree and ridge on botl ! ; of the Iloyne. At this junctim 1 1 I.. !-; were <>\i\i:'t (1 to fall hack be hind a bluff a few hundred feet to tin r, when ll.e firing reconnnrTirri i was kept up hotly until the aui I'limr.ion ran out, wh-n Dumont an< o:u> of his lieutenants, bearing n llaj, of truce, approached the Volunteers and terms of capitulation wnro uiran- I. Headed by the Hand, the Vol- nteers, Half -15rei ds and Indians then formed in procession and marched through the village the band playing stirring airs in the most creditable niiiiiiii r. At llic Drill Shed three cheers were given for the (jueen. our Dominion Mid the 1'and, after which nil (lisp !"-; il I'm- ilinuer.

The attendance was largo, the games ,nit and healthful, and the iv Veshments all that could be dc sired, ivtrything in connection with the mrty was exceedingly well manage d. Towards the close, Miss Jennie Mc- Dowell was presented with a purse, as a slight recognition of her faithful and efficient services as Organist in the Methodist Church during the past three years. The address was read by A. R. Fawcett, of THE APVANCK, and the presentation made by Mr. C. J. Sproulc, on behalf of the members of the Choir and others. Rev. Mr. Mc- Dowell briefly and feelingly replied on behalf of Miss McDowell, after which good-byes were exchanged, with many a fervent "God bliss you," and the good pastor and his esteemed family took their departure by stage to Dur- ham, en route for Wingham. The Garden Party broke up before 8 o'- clock, as announced. THE TEA-MEETINO AND LECTURE held iii the Presbyterian Church was fairly attended and passed off pleas- antly. Revs. McAlpin, McLeod, and others addressed the audience. Some i xcellent songs were given by Mr. J. R. Anderson and others. The whole closed about 10:30 with the singing of the National Anthem.

If the policy of the new Imperial Government, as indicated by Mr. Arthur James Balfour son-in-law of the Manmis of Salisbury, and Chief Secretary for Ireland be carried out, it will not be long ere Ireland has home rule. Mr. Balfour's speech has created a profound impression. AS S\VI:F.T AS IIOM.V is Dr. Pleasant Worm Syrnp, yet sure to destroy and < x|>t 1 worms. The (lo-;|)el Army's special meetings have been and are doing a great deal of good in this locality. The fruits are to be seen, not only in the con- verts who have allied themselves in the (ireat Cause, but in the increased earnestness and more progressive Christianity exhibited by the mem- bers of our churchco. All theno things combined give evidence of a healthy state of things in that grnixl doctrine which teaches of "peace and good-will towards man." rnop.

The very fact that the Dr. is a Conservative is qnite sufficient. Poli- tics every time. The Dr. supports Sir John's government ; ergo, the Dr. must be lashed however unreason- ably by the Monitorial whip. Os- tensibly the Monitor is an Independ- ent Reform paper ; but in reality it is an extreme Reform journal. When has it ever said one word in favor of< Dr. Sproule ? If such an unlikely thing crer occurred, we would like to be informed of the fact, so that we might frame and send it to Itanium as one of the greatest curiosities of the age. - THI aroma of the tobacco leaf is so co pletely conserved in the manufacture Myrtle Navy." that age has no effect in diminishing it ; even after th ping lias been kept for years it gives ont its full flav- or under the combustion in the pipe, rnel- vil in tone by its age itnd making the mist exquisite tmoke which tobacco cnn be maclo to give.

Tlie salvation nrniy is, beyond all question ioul from every point of view, the most extraordinary religious movement of our time.

Our readers will regret to learn that the Rev. Mr. Hill leaven this circuit and goes to Osliawa. The Rev. gen- tleman will preach his farewell ser- mon on Sunday next.
