The Rev. gentleman bandied tbo subject with masterly skill showing blot at onoe to be thoroughly posted la Biblical lore.

Tbo above announcement appeared in tbo Franklin papers for a ooup'o of weeks be fore tbe races came off, for the purpose evidently of deluding tbo outside publlo In to attending them, and then fleecing said outsiders to replenish the depleted pockets of the Franklin sports. On Wednesday last, our townsman, Mr. A. Smawley, visit ed Franklin on business, and wblle tbere was waited upon by the very worthy mana gers of tbe trotting aasoolation with tbe re quest to enter a borse to fill up tbe list ol Saturday's races. At first be refused to bavo anything to do with the afftir, but fin ally, after a good deal ol urging, bo told them be would enter some borse or other. Tbey inquired wbat animal it would be. He informed them be oould not tell until after bis return to Petroleum Centre, but that be would enter an aolm.l for tbe raoe; It oot be would forfeit tbe entrance fee of $10. Accordingly, on Thursday, Smawley arrivt ed In Fraoklla with bis horses a bay geld, log and a brown mare. After arriving tbe bones were examined by tbe eommittee,tbe entraoce fee paid, and everything appeared lovely until Friday alternoon, when tbe aforesaid committee began to think tbere waa some chance for bim to get bis money back or maybe win tbe race over tbo 4 min ute horses entered, consequently be was summoued before the "Council of Ten" and very politely lolormea met Die borse was barred out, and would not be allowed to run, (or fear bo might win tbo race and lake the purse out of tbe anoient burgh. Tbe pools were tben sold to suit tbe pock ets of tbe oommlttee and everything passed off lovely, all tbe filthy lucre remaining io possession of tbe Franklin. That's tbe way Smawley got served at' Franklin. He says ho did oare about wioniog tbe raoe, but it waa tbe 'cmsed meanness" ol the affair, al ter requestlog bim to enter and be going to an expease of nearly $50 to gel tbere, and tben to be used so shabbily, to his opinion is tbe quintessence of meanness, "which tbe same we rise to explain" Is as near tbe truth as possible.

Bitumioons substances bave long been known to exist In various parts of Western Australia, and it appears tbat tbe advice which a Wealeyen member of Council once delivered at a Barladong "tea drinking" to look out for "an oil mine," has been wasted neither upon bis fellow colonists nor upon tbe aborigines. At Ibis propituou moment when tbe colonial government Is said to bave been In communication with capital ists lo neighboring colonies who are desir ous of establisbing kerosene works, one Thomas Winditcb, a native of Baladong, has come forward to report the existence of a substance resembling water, at a spot about fifty miles southeaster Mount Ster ling, where it Is held In gre.it dread by tbe natives on aocount of its explosive propet ties when brought In contact with fire. On being shown some kerosene, Tommy Win ditcb pronounced H to be exactly similar to the "white stuff" so much dreaded by bis friends, aod, should be prove to bave spok en correctly, and tbe fluid be found in aoy great abundance, we may surely expect to hear ot his appointment as commodore ot those who, lo accordance with tbe recom mendation given to tbem, will henceforth "paddle tbeir own canoe" in streams of pet roieum Bcffalo Races Tbe Couriessays: It oao be confidently anticipated tbat tbe meet ing or 1872, commencing August 6th and oontinuiog four days, will surpsss in bril liancy all of its predecessors. As we men tioo, tbe amount of premiums, $60,000, Is altogether unprecedented. Tbere are no less than four purses of $10,000 each. Such glittering prizes .will attract the speediest trotters of all classes from all parts of tbe country, and every nerve will be strained to bear away tbe premiums. Tbe eyes of tbe trotting men throughout tbe country are turned toward Buffalo, aod we expect to see contests next month between tbe great flyers of tbe Atlantio ooaat and tbe Pacific slope. Those who oan possibly at tend and who have any love for this style of sport, should not miss tbe trotting meeting of 1872. For Sale.
