their duties with a frugality and fidelity which
must be equally creditable to themselves and

Crown Leads Agent for the townships of Gk.-

with power to locate the same on the conditions
agreed on by the Government. His agency
was to commence on the 15th September, there-
fore the geacral imprenwioo is that these lands
are now open for settlement. Great ambers of
emigraau are rushing to the Durham Road, not
through the inducement. of Allen Cameron, but
in terms of the Crown Lends advertisement, and
from a belief that the Durham Road runs or
u to run as we have stated, namely, from the
Geranium Road to hake Huron.
Allen Cameron's share in the matter is simply
this, -he bus letter from Mr. Jackson, which
he prodaces,frequently enough, requeetiag him
merely to slow the lands in Kincardine, to such
persons as may be desirous of .ettliog there.
We know little of Allen Cameroo-we think he
is no better than he should be -and the very fact

The papet was said to' be too dear -and see
slitting fur ink was declared to be exorbitant !-
Now we:are aware that some people can get
their paper much cheaper than we eau do at the
Signal Office-. We had • mail of a Gentleman
lately who was collecting some accounts for the
Fkmboro' Paper Mill, and he sheaved us in ac-
count, for collecting which he was to receive ex-
actly out hundred per ern:! We have pad fif-
teen pence per quire fur writing paper to Gode-
rich, and at the very Ana the said Bond was
printed wt were paying seven shillings sod six
peace per dram for carriage from Flemboro'to
Gederieh by the auge-and 'erne paper has ar-
rived hi town lately, which we doubt not, cost at
least three time that amount for transit: The
charge for ink os certainly ridiculous, every prin-
ter knows that ink does not cost anything ! But
when • printer takes work at so much per thou -
rand composition, and so much per token d
presswork, and lets it out to his journeymen at
the ..me prices, the qucstioe in law is whether
the Compositor or the Pressman se booed w fur-
n ish tie ink, or it the master, whoia not tnakiag
a singe farthing by the tnaawties, ra obliged
to aecunatate his employer with ink, merely by
way of civility ! 1t would certainly be an im-
provement to compel ham to furuuh both paper

of being District Printer! We know little id
the tatter, as we aro not a Priater. Oar ac-
count was presented a• dews out by Mr. Dol-
ton. (Coe thing, however, we do knew, namely,
we have paid for much prinnog to our life time.
