W'P. accidentally omitted in last issue to notify our readers of last week’s non-issue. The present issue commences the Fifth vol- ume of the new series. Our patrons should bear in mind that the cost of paper, ink, c., has latterly increased from :20 to 30 per cent., consequently prompt payments are essential to our well-being. The Examiner in his issue of the 27th ultimo, acknowledges the obligations under which the Mount Forest people are to us for the deep inter- est we have displayed in its concerns, and admits that he 4‘ manor. do less than acknowledge his (our) more; courtesies.” Three weeks since we desired the assurance of Mr. Smithurst, that the petition which he present- odâ€"in conjunction with his colleaguesâ€"at Que- bee, was signed by persons resident within the limits of our contemporary’s County of Palmer- ston. To this most reasonable invitation he says :â€" “ Now, without consulting the Rev. Mr. Smithurst on the subject, we venture to say that “we cannot den-bi” but that he will treat our contemporary’s remarks with the contempt which they deserve.” We would remind our friend of the Examiner that impertinence can scarcely further go than to say for Mr. Smithurst that, he will, treat our remarks with contempt. We have too high an Opinion of Mr. Smithurst's integrity to suppose that he would willingly engage in a dishonora- ble enterprise, hence our anxiety to be informed whether he had satisfied himself that the petition was what it purported to be. We singled out Mr. Smithnrst for reasons most satisfactory to ourselves. We are not so ill-mannered as to say, that the other members of the delegation should he treated with contempt; but probably our contemporary supposes that Mr. Smithurst will regard our expressed confidence in him as reflecting upon his colleaguesâ€"hence the zeal with which he hastens to prevent that gentleman K from telling the whole story. Tho Examiner does undertake to say that the petition was all that. it pretended to be. Did it pretend to be from inhabitants of those Town- ships said to be interested? and did any body else, except such, sign it? Why doesn‘t the Exmnincr publish the petition and give its readers the inform aim: we asked for th weeks since ? THE STAN DAR-D. The Examiner says that we are no longer without any formal action of the Townships, for the Egremont Council has spoken. Our contemporary well knows that the voice of the Council on a question of that kind affords no evidence of the sentiments of the peOple;i indeed it will be generally found that when Municipal Councils interfere with matters outside of the schedule of their duties, or WblCh has not been delegated to them by their constituents, they are practising a device. We are amusedâ€" ,our contemporary will please pardon our mirth- lt‘ulness-«with the variety of the fare which he has provided for the Palmerstonians in the issue we have referred to. We have first the “Newl County Question ;" next “ Walkerton Doomed ;”‘t then " Culling-wood asleep,” and last, Probably as a desert, “ Cauld Kail het again.” After a feast so abundantly varied, “Hot Kail cauld again ’ ‘mtght be taken as a sedative. The doom of Walkerton is paraded by our contemporary as synonymous with the up-build- tag of Mount Forest. Because notice has been given of an intention to apply to Parliament to revoke the proclamation in favor of Walkerton, therefore such act of revocation must be conceded; and as certain people in Mount Forest have given F RIDAY. DECEMBER 12, 1862. Mount Forest Agitation. TERMS! CASH IN ADVANCE. Inotice of their intention to apply for an Act to, ; incorporate Proton, Egremont, Normanhy, * Luther, Arthur, Minto, Garrick and Howick, with Mount Forest as the County Town, therefore such l Act must be pa. sed. Admirable reasoning this, the only ray of light by which it is surrounded pro- ceeds from the “ doom of Walkerton.” It may be that a drunken man would rejoice at. the burning of his neighbor's house if, by its glare, the could find the way to his heuse on a dark inight, but me trust f1? sober men wouid regard i such an event w ith satisfaction.“ ill the people ' of Garrick lend themselves to such 11 scheme as this? We cannot believe it. .v Our contemporary has cried cock-a-doodle-do before he was safely perched upon his own dung- bill. If Garrick is true to itself and the County of Bruce, it will read our Mount Forest friends a practical lecture on the “Doom of Walkerton."â€"-â€" .I'Ipplyin g the metaphor of the Examiner, this would be as “ Cauld Rail het again. In the Minutes of Egrernont Council, pub- lished in last issue, there appeared a demand from Capt. Barretto, of Mount Forest Volun- teers, of “ £16 98. 0d. for TlVO days’ serviâ€" ces of said Volunteers in quelling a not which occurred in Mount Forest village on the evening of the 3rd of last October.” To those conversant With this case, it will I be remembered that the so-called riot-which, by the way, was incited by the arbitrary con- duct of certain Illagistrates whom we have since had occasion to exposeâ€"was quelled in the space of an hour or two, and without calling into special requisition the military prowess of said Volunteers, though no doubt thirsting with the fiery ardor of war-chargers l to srgnalize themselves on a gory field. But no ! fate ruled otherwise, and they now seek a soliatum for disappointed ambition in the sum above mentioned, and the consideration of which the unappreciative Council order “to lieâ€"upon the Table.” Mount Forest Rifle Volunteers and Bgremont Council. The undemonstrative, sedate Council would seem to have made objection to the charge for Two da3s’ n ork, when in reality there 11 as much less than ONE; but the Council should learn to appreciate the quantity of work per- 3 formed rather than the time taken in its exe- 1 cution; for evidently the fray in Mount For- est was an incipient symptom of revolution that would have plunged the country in a civil war, but wh1ch was nipped in the bud b} the timely and etlicient aid of the Mount Iorest Volunteers. Had these men been em- p10} ed by We Lincoln at the memorable bombardment of I ort Sumner, Miss Dixie would to-day have been underthe genial rule of Nero Seward Co.

British. Columbia and Caribou. Last week our former townsman Mr.. Charles Fletcher. returned from Cariboo, where has been during the past season. His experience there fully persuades him that the inflated stories formerly published in the Canadian press were originated by land speculators in British Columbia and the Van- derbilt Steamship Company The destitution and hardships encountered are incredible, and thousands are sinking into premature graves therefrom. The gold region is much over estimated, as not one claim in a thousand pays the’expense of working. The moral state of society is deplorable. A respected contemporary in discussing the Separate School La“, denounces the right to Separate Schools, and contends that such con- cession is “a conspiracy to rob us of our dearesg we hail Separate Schools as the last vestige ‘, of our former liberty. rights.” From this logic we take it that man’s “ dearest right ” is to oppress his fellow-man. From whence does this “ right” emanate to the exclusrve few? Has one man the right to dictate to another man as to how, when. where, and by whom the latter’s children shall be educated. The control of the parent over the child being a divine right, we regret to see a portion ofthe Canadian press display a species of tyrannical barbarity that would l have disvraced the fourteenth century. We be1ieve Separate Schools could, and would, be dispensed with if the present patch-work School Law were abolished ; but so long as 1t remains upon the statute book This body met last week at Owen Sound. We have not learned any particulars of pro- ceedings, further than that Mr Manning pro- posed a settlement of his claim for the re- duced amount of $48,000. The proposition was not entertained.
