THE VOICE.
BRANDON:
THURSDAY, JULY 8, l847.

To FARMERS, &c. Persons designing to leave
this section and locate in some one of the western
states will see from the advertisement of Geo. Cor
don s. Co., inserted in this paper, that by triing
expense they can obtain information respecting par
tally cleared farms, which may prove beneficial to
them Those who may wish to embark in the bust
ness of preparing farms for the occupation of others
may 10 well on the terms proposed by the odycrts-
crs. As we arc not personally acquainted with
Messrs Gordon & Co., we take the liberty Of copy
ing the following In addition to this notice, the
person wishing to buy farm or take contract for
clearing lands, &C., can very easily demand refer
ences as to the safety of contracting either way with
the gentlemen named.
The reader is referred to the advertisement
of Gordon & Co. in another column. From
what we have seen in Liverpool and New
Yorlapap respecting this movement, we
arc Of opinion that the plan to settle large
tract of uncultivated land lying in one of the
Oldest states in the Union, which from its easy
access to a market, must render it valuable as
soon as the farms are brought under cultlva-
ton, will succeed, and that large numbers OF
substantial English and German farmers will
embark in the enterprise. We believe the
company to be composed Of responsible men.
Further particulars may be learned on appll-
cation at this oflice.-CArtStian Secretary,
HQrftJyU CT.

The dry powder took fire at the very first

The Southport Telegraph states that the
water in the upper lakes is foot lower than
it was last year, and nearly three feet lower
than it was five years ago. On the other
hand, the water in Lake Ontario is continu-
ally growing higher. This huctuation is con-
tinually going on. No one can account for the
fact although the fact itself accounts for a
good many mysterious wrecks on shoals, in
the spring, before the amount of change can
be ascertaincd. The highest variation, we
believe, is about ten feet. We have known
it to rise at the mouth of the Genessec cigh-
teen inches in one year, but this was UMPIRE
cedentcd. 1t is subject for investigation,
and is as great cause for wonder, as is the
continued rise of the land in Norway and
Sweden, which has risen some 1900 feet
within the last 1900 years. Cincinnati Her

STAGE ACCIDENT. AS the Mlbury stage
was passing under the Branch Rail Road
bridge, near Union-street, trunk upon the
top of the stage came in contact with timbers
of the bridge in such manner as to throw the
body of the stage of the forward axletrces.--
The horses, being frightened, succeeded in
getting clear of the driver, after dragging
him short distance. At the intersection Of
Union street, horse and wagon stood dr.
rcctly in their way, and the leaders jumped
entirely over them, and continued their way
onward to Main street, till they were stopped
near the town Hall But the wheel horses
with the fore wheels attached to them, came
in contact with the horse and wagon, and the
three horses were all thrown in heap to-
gcthcr, where they remained till they were
relieved from their unpleasant predicament
No person was seriously injured, and we I'M
derstamd that the damage to the carriage was
