Ve DEAR 8X. -In the issee of your paper of
t,0 the 12th inst., your anonymous correspond-
ent, who signs himself "Antiltontaxi," comes
' out with another letter anent the decora.tion
° o St. Paul's church, Hartsell. "Anti -
Roman " in his last effusion chides Ole for
my forgetfulness of the latin proverb :
"LiterSeripta Manet," while he from the
commencement of his attack has entirelydis-
regarded the wholesome trutli contained
therein, Had "Anti -Roman" been desirous
that the cordiality and brotherly, kindness
existing between the members awredherents
of St. Paul's churoh, should contione undis-
turbed, why did he null/Ratty charge some
of these with indolence and indifference ?
If he wished to be consistent in his firt let,
ter why did he say in oee sentence that the
decoration was "a labor ef love" ; in an-
other ;that the seine indicated a "tendency
to Romanism" ; in yet another,that with-
out sueh "the little church looked cold and
naked" ; in still another, " thatthe absence
of decorations was a reform" ; and finally
sign himself ill connection therewith " Anti -
Roman ?" I may esk, using "Anti -Roman's"
own form of expression, who is thie "Anti -
Rom= ?" And although I have no sober
Presbyterian to give 1ne the proper answer,
I answer the question myself, by saying: he
isetn tinterineddling busybody, who, to air
his Powers as a ccornposer,u (seve hie bad
English arid worse Latin) writes npon a
matter concerning which he knows nothing,
and the why and. wherefore of which he
understands less. ,I might &newer he is a
coward who is desirous of stirring up strife
among those who have hitherto enjoyed per-
fect harmony mid unanimity of feeling by
attacking their conduct one - an assumed.

the ehaire A. large number of farmers were
present. The first day's meeting opened by
O lecture on parasite plants by Prof. Penton,
follewed by an able address G.E. Jackson on
agrieultin•al soeisties. Thee followed a good.
payer from Jas. Logan on preparing land for
wheat. A. paper on the breeding of heavy
berets, by Thos. McMillan, Ill. P., was very
interesting. This finished thefirst days work.
A. pleasitnt eveuing was spent, the hall being
packed to the doors. Rousieg speeches were
-delivered by j. Moilfillem, M. P. on "Why
boys leeve the fav;" by Prof. Penton, on
Education as a sauce of °reel 'and pleasnre
to the farmer ;" by etr. Bennie, on What the
public 00(100118 doing for the farmer's boy."
All three gentlemen succeeded in interesting
the audience ia a remarkable degree. The
Professor especially made o good impression,
and showed clearly that the succeesful farmer
of the near future will be a man of brain
powee rather tban a luau of musele. The
bieetiug was enliveima by Yodel aud
mental mfisie of a high melee, and pessed off
oey setisfaetorily to the teanagernent.
The Second clitv's meeting opened with a
paper from Mr. 'Rennie, on "notetioneferops."

are said about trap shooters. It has
been asserted by the Globe that this
class of shooting promotes neither good
marksmanship nor good fellowship., This
is wrong. Any sport who indulges in
this order of shooting, will agree that
pigeon shooting, from aground trap is
superior to target shooting which is
offered as a substitute for live bird trap
shooting. Clay birds are deoidedly more
difficult to hie than glass balls, but the
flight of a clay bird is regular, and a
close shooting gun, in the hands of an
expert, makes the breaking of clay
birds a matter of little difficulty. The
flight of a pigeon from a grounc0 trap is
uncertain and it must be hard to hit to
drop inside the boundaiy, whereas a
single piece chipped off a clay pigeon
scores a point for the shooter.
Of course this class of shooting does
not promote good fellowship. Generally
the shooting is for money, and. when this
is the case the participants are so much
on "the make" that they allow the con-
test to degenerate from what it would be
-a friendly match -to a money making
struggle, in which the baser qualities of
man's nature are brought to the surface;
generous rivalry forgotten and that
contemptible selfishness is the predomin-
ating iafluence. When it is asserted, that
"the whole joy and attraction of the
sport would be gene so soon as no life
was to be taken and no possible suffering
inflicted,:2 the accusation is erroneous
and unjust, if net ridiculous. No One
shooter in a million is inhumane enough
to take delight in the suffering of the
crippled bird. Being ongroesecl in his
`sport' the thong,ht that the bird. is Suffer-
ing rarely occurs to him. Some shooters,
however, are different; they walk to
where tho wonnded bird lay, wring its
neck and thus free it from all its pain.
Live pigeon and. snow birci shooting is
essentially evroug and undeninbly cruel,
end admits of no juetitleabion. In many
of the states of the Ainericen 'Union
there is a law which prohibits pigeon
shooting. And if there is a desire to
have the practice Abated, here it romaine
now for the society of P. of C. to .A, in
Oaterio to set about to seetrve legielation
to that end, and all large heerted lovers
oftrue sport will gladly second their
noble effort.
