ADVOCATE, Sala: --Some time ago there appeared in the columns of your paper an item, under the heudingof Usborne, whichre- fleets upon my character and does nye a gross injustice. I have delayed writ- ing in hope that -the Professor of Music referred too, who knows how false and misleading are the statements there made, would write a contradiction and correction as we would not do him the injustice of supposing that the said item was in any way inspired by him. This not having been done I am compelled, reluctantly, to state the facts of the case and leave your read- ers to judge if I am, as your corres- pondent says, a man who has neither conscience or principal. The item referred too is so worded as to produce the impression that only one quarter's lessons were given and that for an occasional tea at the close of the lessons, the whole quarter's pay (seven (Toilers) was charged. Now what are the facts? Five quart- ers, lessons were given, for which the sum of thirty-five dollars was paid, or seven dollars for each quarter, the usual charge, and the same as was be- ing paid by the neighbors. On his first visit when the Professor reached our home, it being late in the day and his horse having stood out all the after- noon, he was asked to put in his horse and stay for tea. Hereafter this was done as a matter of course, each time his horse being fed hay and a gallon of oats, and this was done not occas- ionally, as your correspondent says, bat as I positively assert sixty-five times. Let then your readers judge for themselves if a charge of ten cents for tea and horse feed,hay and oats, was so exorbitant that it should be spoken of as Yukon prices, and as to mani- festing a spirit that has neither con- science nor principal, I hurl back the charge in the face of your correspond- ent,who, if knowing the facts, distorted them, or if not knowing them, rushed his ignorance into print to do me tin injury, and let me further assure him that the next time, whoever he may be, he attempts to so damage my rep- utation it will not be through the col- umns of a newspaper er that he will be p dealt with. , Yonrs respectfully, Jom'i GILPILLAN, Kirkton..

(From another source), HAPPY NI7PTIALs,—Tie residence of Mr. Joseph Banes, was the scene of a quiet but pretty home wedding on the afternoon of Aug. 30th, when his Od- dest daughter, 1 inetta A., was united in marriage to Mr. Wesley Kerr, • a prosperous young merchant of Brins- ley, Ont.
