Mrs. Ashton was ‘born in North Walw and was one of a family 01 nine. In 1832 she was attracted to Canada by the reports of high wagâ€" es and plentiful money to be had here. On her arrival in Liverpool, she found her boat, the Great Britain on which she was to sail, was not yet completed. and she had to wait three weeks for it. The journey oc- copied five weeks and five days. On reaching Canada, she found the re- ports of the country had been great- ly exaggerated, and she worked as a. servant girl for two years at three dollars a months. After reaching Little York, she had to walk, by ray of Oshawa and Whitby, a disâ€"e tense of 70 miles, to what is now knoxm as Manilla. village. She lived there for two years prior to ‘her. :marriage in 1834. In those days there were two hotels in Whitby, and and incidentally concentrating the fe- male Worshipper's attention upon serious thoughts by preventing their becoming absorbed in studying their neighbors' hats and gowns, that has (be of the many fads tor getting lo to go to church is reported reap tom London where in the hope of wing the increasing reluctance of their parishioners to attend church services. several 0! the clergy are de- vising means to render the services more attractive to them.

It might be well to put a. little water on the forehead occasionally by way of keeping the temperature even. Thanking you for space in your val- uable paper, I am yours, truly I believe the price of butter would be higher if the consumer received it in as good condition as when it reaches the store ; but by the time it has passed through the grocery and they have carried it home and back two or three times to change it, trying to get good butter, they pay dear enough for it. He also says, “she kicks about the price of butter.” Now who ever heard a gentleman using such an ex- pression when speaking about a wo- man. I Said “the price of butter was too small to kick about." Mr. Fisher speaks about the market price of butter as though it was a wonder: ful thing. A person would be easy to satisfy, if the market price of but- ter in Lindsay at present satisfied him, because it cannot be produced at the present time for that price. I was merely sbun’ding a note of warning and indeed it was high time to do so, if Mr. Fisher did not even know that there was any danger of the merchants’ spoiling butter after it was properly made. If he dam not understand the rest of his bus- iness any better than he does the butter question, I d0n’t know what class of people he is going to pro- tect, unless it is the doctors. There is an old saying, “If the shoe fits you put it, on." It has ev- idently fitted Mr. Fisher rather tight. and has pinched his corns. However, I hope he will 'be none the worse, as I did not intend to hurt any person. I said the grocers did not know turâ€" nipy butter when they saw it. Now, what I said was that they could smell it, or taste it before the cows had tasted the turnips. ' MCCLENNAN 6': CO.
