Th Er match under the auspines of the Hibbert association took place on the farm of Mr. John Drake, near Staffa, on Wednesday last. The weather was delightful and farmers took advadage of the favorable opportunity for gathering their root does, consequently the plow- ing match was not as well attended as it might have been. The field selected was level but the sod was brittle thus operating somewhat against the plowmen. The competition, especially in the classes for inen was verY light, there being only one plowman in each class, while there were no entries, in one of the bora classes,. al- thongh there were four in the other. This hitt& class, therefore, oreated the most in- tereat for the spectators ot whom there was 4.'fair crowd present. The prizes . were awerded as follows: extra class, open to all comers, James Hogarth, Munroe plow; first class, for men who never won a prize, Ames Connolly, Munroe y low.

Mr. Greenway and Stephen Township. , ".3 !se Editor of the Exeter Times. Sta.-That reminiscence of the Green- way regime in our township, in the columns of the Times last week, was read with in- terest, and the cirourestances connected therewith are readily remembered, and the eonsequences are experienced with adyer- sity by the ratepayers of to -day. The lig- gures as you gave them are quite correct, but some are diaposed to question the as e sertion that misappropriation of money was made. That the money was not ju- diciously spent is a patent fad, which can be verified by a simple comparison of the affairs of Hay township with those of the township of Stephen, both of wnioh are identical. When the distribution of the &infield Macdonald surplus was made,gay townehip got au equal sum with our town- ship. Hay township had no better roads ,than we had (and have far better to -day) yet the authorities were not found spend- ing enormous BUMS improving the high- ways, hut exhibited good judgment in creating a sinking fund, sintdosethich was .placed pearly the tptal gratt •tmpay off the railway debt, using current funds for road and bridge purposes. What has been the result? A farmer vrlio owns a hundred acres of land on the 2nd ooncellsion of Hay township pays taxes to the amount of $30; while a farmer on the same concession in Stephen township, with no better buildings nays $50, and the high taxation of the Stephen farmer is due to the mal admin- istration of Hon. Thos. Greenway. Let ns trust he will not use the Manitobans in a similar way. Thanking you for this space, lam The counoil met on the 3rd of November All the members present. Tee minutes of the previous meeting were rend and ap- proved. -A letter from Mr. N. J.
