Nor did they forget the bay maro, Jenuie, whose bin was not large enough to hold one half of the clean white oats they brought. After a refreshing cup of tea, which was got up a la mode, the lads and lasses amused themselves with ; singing and a variety of interesting games. Though the Manse is not often visited by so many and so much at one time yet such visits on a small seale are of freâ€" quernt occurrence. ‘The good people all over the congregation always remember that the occupants of the Manse, like other sensible folk, need such things as potatoes, flour, meal, pork, beef, mutton, turkey, goose, fowl, butter and cheese, They bring also such things as socks, and the yaru to make and mend themâ€"things ever welâ€"| come with the thrifty housewife, because they not only furnish necessary clothing, but also the opportunity of teashing the | bairns how to knit and work for themselves. |â€" ‘The barn is not left empty. ‘ A collection is being taken up in our vilâ€" lage for the purpose of engaging a lawyer to plead the cause of Ben.

We know not how the trial may result, but the colâ€" lection shows a noble spirit in "Hanoverâ€" ians" who are not willing to have one of their erring children condemned to prison or penitentiary without the benefit of a lawyer‘s pleading. Their motto is “fmr‘ play, and a fair trial."â€"Com. J Hanover, Feb. 7%h, 1882. On the evening of the same day Rev.

The Grammar School, Walkerton,has so inâ€" creased since the arrival of the new teachers, Morgan and McKay, last October, that a third teacher has been engaged in the perâ€" son of J. L.

The church was packed full of people from every sect andâ€" nationality hbere» represented. The opening services were conducted by Rey. Mr. Spiers, the sermon by Rev. S. Burwash and the closing prayer by Rev. A. Clark. The eabinet organ and the pulpit were draped in mourning which gave the whole scene a strangé and solemn appearance. The substance of the text was, "These all died in faith," which was treated in Mr. Burwash‘s usual style. Near its close he read a brief account of the life of theui two well known and active members of the Methodist church to which all appeared to listen with great interest and some emoâ€" tion.

At this stage of the proceedings the Chairman announced an intermission of 15 guinutes, and during that intorval an exciting feature of the enâ€" tertainment took place, viz., an election contest for a "cake" took place. ‘The Canâ€" didates were Miss McPhee and Miss Calâ€": der and their respective canvassars. After x rigid and lively canvass, Miss Calder was declared thc elected Candidate. It is due however to the comnftending party, to say, that had the votes been ccuzcted when the poll was declared closed the election might have resulted differently. Intermission having elapsed, Rev. Mr. McMillan was called upon and gave a rousing address on "Idolatry and true Christiazity." . Knox Church Choir of Mount Forest were present and rendered some choice selections of muâ€" sic during the evening. Mr. kKeith and Miss Keith of Holstein also discoursed at intervals some cxcellent pieces,in a masâ€" terly style.

Much praise is due to Mr. Thomas Bowie whose marked ability in seat packing tended much to the comfort of the evening. Theladies on this occassion were no less anticipatory and very evidently had caught the shadow of the coming event, jadging from the large stock of rich provisions that were on hand. For some time those present enjoyed themâ€" selves in social conversation and in dis posing of the tea and excellent provisions which was so liberally supplied by the ladies. Order being restored Mr. Thomas Bowie took the chair in the absence of the Pastor, Rev. Mr. Nichol whose late severe illness prevented his putting in an appearâ€" aznce. On the speakers benches the mediâ€" cal profession was well represented, by Dr. Landerkin, exâ€"M. P., of Hanover, and Dr. Yoemans of Mount Forest.

In conclusion, Mr. Editor, and in referâ€" ence to some of thase wonderful men that are reported as being the head aud shouldâ€" ers above me. I have no sympathy with any such. I hold that one man is just as good as another, so long as he behaves himâ€" self and no longer. Mr. Editor, as a certain M. P. P. for S. Grey was reported to have said on a certain occassion on the floor of Parliament (so say I now) Let Justice be done if the Heavens should fall, but I am afraid that unless we get the word good better defined than we now have it that the Heavens will fall before we get justice. Mr. Moffat canningly tries to make it apâ€" pear that it was only the shrinkage or two per cent. as he calls it, that was in dispute and that he sssumed the responsibility of paying me for 40 lbs. at 2 per cent., this 1s entirely false and without foundation, as 1 shall now show Ly figures that I challenge Mr. Hunter or Mr. Moffat either or both to deny, the gross weight of the 11 (notorious) Hogs was 2235 lbs, (Shrinkage as allowâ€" ed on Toronto Market 2 lbs per Hog.)Makâ€" ; ing 22 lbs. and 10 lbs. as per agreement for one Hog slightly dameged going out to { Durham making the nett weight 2208 lbs, and Mr. M. nett weight on Satarday, 14th ult., was 2187 lbs., and on the foltowing Monday 40, total nett weight 2177 lbs., leaving 26lbs of a deficiency not yet paid for after allowing 2 lbs. per Hog for shrinkâ€" age. 1 would advise the parties interested to stick to the point at issue and not act like drowning men catching straws, if you have no respect for your own reputations you should have scme consideration for the Town you live in. Charge No. 3.â€"One or two of the Hogs l were in a bad condition, &e, &c., there was vne Hog Â¥lighuly damuged gulug out 10 Darham, Mr. Moffat docked 10 lbs off said Hog, that never was disputed, and the shrinkage (although too much) would not have been disputed, had the gross weight not been so very far short. I am very much surprised that Mr. Moffat did notsee all these damaged Hogs until last week, It ‘ does not speak very well of Mr. Mofist, if it takes him three weeks to find out whethâ€" er he has been buying sound Hogs or damâ€" aged ones, but allowing the Hogs to be as _Mr. Moffat represents them (which they were not) what better position does it place either Lim or Mr. Hunter in? had Mr. M. any right to give the same price for damâ€" aged Hogs as for sound ones and take of in the weight to make up for the price?I hold that the price should vary according to quality but the weight should be the same in all cases. Charge No. 2 :â€"I am again charged with being untruthfal because I did not tell the public in my first letter, that the 11 Hogs referred to belonged to me, Mr. Moflat may just charge me with the same offence because I did not mention whose fourloads of wheat was weighed before the shot was taken out. Now for Mr. Moffat‘s letterâ€"charge No. 1, that I attempted to injure the grain buyâ€" ers of Durbam, and his employer Mr. H. in particular,(I would be very sorry if this were correct as there is some of the grain merchants of Durham that I hold a very high opinion of, men of integrity, men who are a credit to Durham.) I attempted no such thing I only spoke the trath, and if speaking the truth can injure honest grain buyers,there is something radically wrong. But I do not think that any of that kind of buyers have yet squealed, and consequentâ€" ly I take it for granted that they are not very badly hurt. Mr. Mofiat acknowledges that his strict and positiveinstructions from Mr. Hunter is to take good weight. I would ask Mr. Hunter to rise and explain what good weight means. A man may loose the half of his hard earned crop of grain,hogs, &c¢., and still go under the name of good weight, would Mr. Hunter define the word ‘coop‘ so that people going to mar ket would then know what they are l doing. _ As to Mr. Hunter‘s second letter there is nothing in it only a little gossip. If he Mr. Hunter is going to publish all the tittleâ€" tattle he may hear he had better get a sheet for that purpose. So far as I am concerned I never heard the report as he puts it,but it is entirely foreign to the point at issue,and only intended to draw attextion from the real question. To the Editor of the Review:â€" Siz,â€"In looking over the columns of the last weeks Revirw, I see two letters from J. H. Hunter, one from T. C. Mofiat and one frov; W. G. McBHardy all purporting to be on the Weigh Scale question, as this has become a very interesting question to the readers of the Review, I shall endeavor to give the parties interested a little wholeâ€" some information in as mild a way as the cireumstances of the case will permit, or I will be charged with malicionsnees and unâ€" truthfulness, and all sorts of bad names, Mr. Editor, you know very well that names like the above are very disagreeable, but there is one refreshing feature in the case, I do not believe that any of these abusive pariies mean what they say, nor do I think that they believe what they say, neither do they care whethâ€" er your readers believe it or not, it is all done for the purpose of leading the public mind of the question at issue, for: that reason they may pour away, it is just 1 like pouring water on a duck‘s back. I do not thick that Mr. Hunter‘s reply will reâ€" flect much credit to his intelligence or good judgement in this case. The Weigh Scale Question Bitters, and that too during the existence of countless numbers of widely advertised bitters No article ever attained such unbound ularity in so short a time as Burdock Another shooting tragedy ococurred at Washington last Thursday night. One Soteldo, a committee clerk and newspaper correspondeut, accompanied by his brother ehtered the National Republican office to get a statement inserted in reply to articles reflecting on him.

Duvcarp Ferousox, Farmer, Proton, Feb. 18th, 1882. As to Mr. Webster‘s (honesty ?) I believe that hbe is just in his dealing and had Mr. Webster been buying grain this year, I emâ€" pbatically say that Mr. McHardy would not have had so much grain from this neighborhood, h m distinetly that I would take my . lord where I wonzi get honest weight this Meâ€" Hardy strongly objected to. â€"I immediateâ€" ly made up wmy mind that Mr. McHardy was a better man than I was if I could not take my own when I was not getting justice in the weight; and loaded again and went to Mr. James Burnet‘s scales to prove that Mr. McHardy was not giving me justice. Sold my load to Mr. Burnet, and made over 57 Bushels of the same load. Mr. MeHardy followed me to Burnet‘s and bluffed around threatening what he would make some one j ump, I suppose le meant that he would make me pay for it or take a thrashing which he got every chance to do but declinâ€" ed to do either. < I may say that I weighed my load on Webster‘s scales but got no tifket. I might have made a mistake between Priceâ€" ville and Dorham, but I‘ll assure you Mr. Editor, that I made no mistake when I took my load from McHardy to Burnet‘s as I believe I got jnstice at last. ‘ Siz,â€"I see by your last issne that Mr. McHardy makes a great adrift about a load of onts that I sold in Durbkam in Justice to Mr, Webster and for the benefit of the Farmers I beg leave to reply. The load referred to T sold to Mr. McHardy and after getting it weighed I was not satisfied with his weight, 56 Busb. vnd a few lbe. I told rcliable men.

It is therefore thought that the time has come forthe diâ€" | vision ol the territories into four or more l Provisional Disiricts within appropriate nomenclature. ‘This subject will be subâ€" mitted for your consideration. During my journey I was met by numerous ludiav tribes, &ll exprossing confidence in she continuance of the traditional policy of kindaness and jnstise wihich has hitherto governed the mborigines. 1 regret, how. ever, to say that the necessity of supple» menting the food supply of the Indians still exitsts and is likely to continue for some years. Every exertion has been made to settle the Indian bands on reserves and to induce theim to betuke themselves to the raising of caitle and cultivating the woil. These efforts have met with a fuir measure of success, but we can ouly expect by a long continuance of pmient firmmness to induce these children of the prairie and the forest to wbandon their nomadic habits, become sellâ€"supporting, and uitimately add to the industrial wealth of the country. The influx of a white population has greatâ€" ly increased the danger of collision between the settler and red man, and in my opinâ€" ion renders an sugmentation of the Mount» ed Police a maiter of urgency, The Chief Magistrate of the United Stutes has been out off by the hand ot an nssassin, and it is fitting that the sorrow of our peoâ€" ple for a loss which was nout that of our friends and neighbours alone, shoul!d be here adverted to as another instance of the sympathy which unites in brotherâ€"hood the British Empire and the American leâ€" public. borders. For these various blessings we can not be sufficiently thankful to the Giver of all good things. temen of the House of Commons : The hope I expressed at the close of the last seesion, that on the reassembling of Parliament we should be @ble to congratoâ€" late ourselves on a senson of peace and prosperity, has been fally realized.
