The bills appeared—so did the edvertiseinents—but when the day of the fair arrived neither stock nor buyers wore to be seen anywhere in town; Mr. Bockus himself found it convenient to leave town the 'Horning previous, Now the only conclusion that we can arrve at is that the whole affair was intended to deceive the public„as this man Boolcus has been in several places along the G, T.R. playing the same game, and in one place was exposed by the press. Bills similar to those for Exeter were issued by the same per- son announcing fairs for Crediton, Dashwood Hensall and Zurich, but all met a like result. It is said that Bockus secured a: out forty dol lars in each of the different places. Kirkton.

DEAR SIR.—In your issue of the 2nd instant, I notice you re -produce an ar- ticle which appeared in the Loudon Advertiser on the 28th nit., said to be clipped from the New York Herald, It is certainly very much to be regretted that a paper having a large circulation and laying claim to the position of a reepeotable Canadian Journal, should so far forget the position it occupies in in the oouutry, as to publish the ar- ticle referred to without even note or oommeut. but to those acquained with the course for some time pursued by the above named sheet, it will not be a matter of much surprise. Loyal Cauadiau Joulnale should take this matter up, as you have clone Mr, Editor, that treaters in the camp may be pointed out. If there are news- papersamong us who really desire toes- sist thoAmerioans in traducing ourcoiin- try, and enticing our people ,to their own lands, let us know it by all means. Just fancy how eagerly such choice bites as have appeared in the Advertiser of late, anent our own Northwest, will be jumped at by papers across the lines to further their own interests. Is it not a matter of regret that so many of our own people have been en- ticed away by the plausible stories of American agents, to settle upon lands not one whit better than our own, but what shall we say when our papers de- liberately set to work to help them. I presume the New York Herald man when he visited Winnipeg did just what he was hired to du. Whether the Advertiser lean wad working in the Same interest, when he sent a cor- respondent to the same City recently, to do the same kind of work, is best known to himself. Certain it is that that worthy, did his work with a zeal and eatnestuess worthy of the most ardent American citizen. With such facts before ns. does it not become a question, whether or not, too much latitude is allowed the Press of this country. It does appear almost too bad that such treasonable sentiments should continue to be published with impunity, especially when it is known that they are but one series of mis• representations; should we not rather as good and true Canadians rejoice in the fact that we have snch a vast and fertile region, in whioh our sons and daughters can find homes, and enjoy to the fullest extent the advanta>;es of our own iminitable institutious,a place, second to none beld by our cousins over the border, where young. men of the everorowed cities, towns, and vil- lages of the other provinces may go and engage successfully in the moat healthful and independent pursuit that of agriculture, and in a very short time make for themselves happy and comfortable tingles. If ever the editor of the Advertise' would travel a thou- eand miles over those boautifnl and productive prairies, and see the magnl- fioient crops raised, and hear the gen• eral utterances of satisfaction every- where, as the writer has done, if he Marla sparer of loyalty or patriotism left, he would cnme back aird own up, either that he hid been misled, or had been wilfully unreprosenting the eoun• try;but the Advertiser will not stand the test of being judged by its present light.

We have been told that numbers on aocouut of this have been deterred from settliug there, and have gone to find hotnes with our neighbors over the way. Query : it it is true that our country is what the Advertiser, New York Herald, and others of that idea have represented it to be, should they net be so far pleased, that something no matter what, (the Tixe). at least, might even accept a blessing in disguise from a Tory Government) had prevented a oattaiu number of their fellow creatures from becoming settlers in such All out - Widish place, Now Mr. editor, let us hope that all reasonable Canadians will see the very great impropriety, to say the least of it, of our own papers fur- nishing the very beet material for ad• vertising that the Land Companies of Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas and the whole of the Western States can possibly have, and if those who pride them- selves on being the "firet to preach the Manitobaand Northwest bubble" will not pease their miarepreseutatiotrs, it only remains for the more patriotic people of Canada, of all classes and parties, to vieit them with that indig- nation which they will so richly mirit.

On Saturday a men named Parmet- ter, of 'Toronto, (well known as a par• °hussar of hides, butter, and such like stuff) was arrested at London, at the instance of constable Dickinson, charg. ed with obtaining goods to the value of about $426 from Mr. Hugh Moore, tanner, Clinton, ander faire pretences. It appears that several months since he;obtaiued the goods from hits, retire - smiting that he was is business at To- ronto, and rerfectiy responsible, but it turned out that he was 11Ot in business for himself, and was worthless ; subse- quent efforts being Blade for- a fettle• l went reenited frnitleesty, hence his ar• rest.

He consented, and gave two dollar,. When asked what he• w' uld give it for, lie told them to ar- range that themselves, thinking, as he says, that they would put him down for fruit, flowers and garden stuff. They did arrange the matter to their own satisfaction, if not to the doctor's, by putting him down for genre et03103-4s if the two professions or businesses were nobiliary, and that they were working to one another's bends.
