Fawcett, Hurd, Black and the Reeve. 'Says, Mr. Boyd. The minutes were then confirmed. The Report of Committee shewing the Btate of the Treasurer securities to be satisfactory, laid before Council and adopted. The Treasurer was authorized to obtain 6 copies of municipal hand book, for use of the municipality. The Town Hall was granted free lor use of grange meeting. Samuel Gilmour, was authorized to expend $20 in removing the widow of the late Saml. Myles to her relatives. The Beeves order -was issued on th^ {From the News) Belleville, Feb. 9. â€" About six months atro theie came to this section of the country a mun named Thomas Flack. He was a likely looking fel- low a good talker, and could sing ike a tenor of a negro minstrel show. He engaj,td in the sale of cough drops, and having tiie gift of gab managed to I get along well, lor bis medicine sold quite retvdily. His manner was so I tkaing his conversation so pleasing, and his style to attractive that he created a good inrpression wherever he went. His principal field of opera tion was the township of Sidney, and Flack and his cough drops were known in the majority of its house- holds. During the course of Flack's pere- grinations he met Mrs. Martin Kelly, who resided with her imsband on a farm in the first concession of the township named, iibout five miles west of this city. Mrs. Kelly had a fine home but no family. When she saw Flack her heart went out towards him, and his cough-drops, but when she heard him singâ€" oh, goodness â€" she was completely carried away and became thoroughly infatuated with him. He began to visit her house and show her marked attention. He went driving with her, and together they attended church socials in the Methodist church, on the Trenton road. As time advanced the gossiping neighbors began to whisper unpleas- ant tilings about the lady and her companion, and these slyly-expressed observations soon grew into rumors which were not of a pleasing charac- ter. They reached the auricular ap- pendages of Mr. Kelly, and the green eyed monster took complete posses- ion of him. He accused his wife â€" although she was a member of the church, of not being all that she should be, and angry scenes and tor- rid words ensued. His desires and requests were disregarded by his bet- ter-half, as she continued to keep company, with the vendor of cough drops. The limit of forbearance was reach- ed a. few days ago, and open hostili- ties resulted. The husbands demands and commands were unheeded, and eventually Mrs. Kelly told the man she had promised to love and obey that she infinitely preferred Flack to him. Then there was "a picnic," which was subceeded by a brief calm. Mr. Kelly arose on Saturday last to find that he was sole monarch of all he surveyed. His wife had fled. On discovering her departure Mr. Kelly instituted a seareh, and end«avoured to ascertain her whereabouts, but was unable to do so. Wbither she and Flack have gone no one appears to know. The last act in the drama â€" at the present time â€" was performed yesterday, when Mr. Kelly quit house- keeping and removed his fui-niture to other quarters. The second act will, doubtless, be presented â€" as is usual in such affairs â€" in a short time, when the usual forgiveness will be asked for and granted. ;Advice to Sivearers. K. J. BURDBTTE. Nobody cares for the swearing of an habitual swearer. His volleys of pro- fanity have no terror in them. They mean nothing. It is the man who never swears who scares you out of your boots if once in a lifetime he does swear. So far as we can learn Washington only swore once during all the eight years of the revolutionary war But that one time counted. It turned back the tide of retreat, chang- ed a rout into a victory, and made things hum. But the fellow who swears on all occasions, and swears hot and cold with the same mouth, the intell- ectual pauper who ekes out his barren supply of ideas with an abundant crop of profanity, whose conyersation is a long chain of mill privileges, and who talks as a beaver works his swearing is weak, tiresome, disgusting. So, if you want to swear with any effect, my boy, be very seldom about it. Be exclusive in your profanity. If you can't get along without it bring it out occasionally, like rare old family diamonds; don't keep it running six or eight hours a day, like the kitchen hydrant. And â€" you won't be offended, my son â€" but if you will observe closely you will perceive that young men, boys, fledglings of about young age, swear more than men â€" more frequent- ly, more awkardly, with less point and direction. A man becomes ashamed of it.- It belongs to the cigarette and matinee period of life, my boy. It is a habit that fiourisbes in the bread- and-butter days, along somewhere between the high school and the college, and while the blue ribbon on the diploma is bright. It belongs to what Pluck so aptly cabs the "unsalted generation," the fresh young men. So put it away and put on all manly things. I know some good men, some of the best men iu tlie world, who will confound it. and e»en dog gone it, and in New England even a deacon has been known, under a terrible strain, to "condemn." But as a rule, my Sun, don't do it. Don't swear. It isn't an evidence of smartness or worldly wisdom- Any fool can swear. And a good many fools do it. I, my son Ah, if yeu could only|gather up all the useless, uncalled for, iueffectiye swears I have dropped along the path- way of my life, I know I would remove stumbling blocks from many inexper- ienced feet, and my heart would be lighter by a ton than it is to-day. But if you are going to be a fool just because other men have been, oh, my son, what a hopeless fool you will be. ir.«0al.

While in the wbapa of corres- pondence, it IS really a firm and threatening protest. One paragraph from a letter of the 2ud instant from Mr. Hickscfti to Sir John Macdonald shows the spirit of the whole thing.
