menced kicking, and giving a sudden spring to
one side ofthe road, threw the gentleman out

The lady was left in a most precarious con-
diion-the hor!e running and the rens under
his feet. She was, however, equal to the en-
ergency. While the horse was running she
got down in the foot of the carriage and COM

shadowng power of that mighty COLOSSUS, while
Napoleon III, the active partner, works the
cards, one ~ one. Europe is to be moulded
into two despotc cakes, one for Napoleon's dy-
nasty, and the other for Alexander IL. The
latter is 10 have Consta ntinople, the KEY to the
three.quarters of the world, with the bulk of
the East Indies, and some other fragments of
Europe thrown into the bargain while the
former is to have Italy under the control of

ry King, with powers of extending his temporal
and spiritual graces. The next move in this
mystic drama will be in the direction Of north.

The lion across the channel must be brought
down ere the plant of the despots can be un.
masked before the world. British statesmen
keep quiet lest they should provoke the French
Emperor and give the two legged brute cause
for an attack, while the British press begin to
groan with omlnous hints and forebodings of
the future safety Of the British Empire. There
Is another party deeply interested in the dvi-
sion of these political cakes, which is likely to
take prominent part in this mighty game be-
fore it is over. This party are the republicans
of Europe. Although they are at present un.
der the feet of Napoleon, they WILL notwith-
standing, find their way out on the top of the
chess board. England is not match single
handed, for France in The field, and ocean walls
are not to be depended on as an arm of defence
since the application of steam has wrought the
change Leaving Deppe or Cherbourg al four
in the evening, French army may be landed
on the other side of the channel next morning
before the British are ready to repel the attack.
French army landed on English soil would
inevitably put an end to federation aud liberty
throughout Europe. There will be but one re-
sort left for England in such probable contin-
gency, and that is to arm the republicans and
declare freedom in central Europe and Poles,
Italians, Germans and French will
respond to the call like magic electricity
Coming events Will make it clear that unless
Napoleon IS assaSsnated. the above programme
will be carried out nearly to the letter.

Barn Burnt.

On Sunday morning last, about 2 o'clock,
Mr.. Henry K. Hazel, residing near Leipsc, was
awoke oy one of his family to find his barn en-
VelOped in flames and past all hopes of rescue
from the devouring elements. The barn was
nearly new, and contained all of the present
years crops, viz: wheat, oats and hay, as we'll
as last years corn crop, which were also con-
sumed. Fortunately the stable, in which were
his horses, stood at some distance from the barn
and escaped injury. His loss. we learn, will be
about $1,000 or $l500-there being no insu.
rance on the property. The fire is supposed to
have been the work of an lncendiary-in fact,
We understand. there are almost conclusive
proofs Of this; and this is the more remarka-
Bile, as Mr.. ii. is known as one of the most kind
hearted and upright men in the community.

arranged so as to be raised or lowered in few
seconds, as the person guiding the machine may
wish. The plough Mr.. Fawkes is now exhibit

tons, being the largest size that can well be
constructed for any practical purpose. 1t can
plough either up or down hill with great fa-
