(JAMB TnADE.—A subjeob of immedi- ate importnnoe to the farmers, stook. raieers and nettle dealers of the (*entry is the proposition to obtain from the 'United States a reoiprooity of settle quarantine, whioh implies the removal of the 90 days' detention on both side* of the line. There is a general agree. ment lbat this should be one in refer. enoe to thoroughbred stook. It has been proposed that the arrangement be ex- tended to stockers and beef cattle, which the Ontario farmers could sell profitably in Buffalo, New York. Boston and the south. Itis claimed that the Canadian farmer could send his small cattle to the United States notwithstanding a 20 per cent duty, if the present quarantine regulai<iona were reoinded, and make a fair profit ont of it. With the object of ascertaining what the opinion of a class of men direotly interested was and of in. viting a public dieoussion of the question, a Globe reporter at the Western Cattle Market, Toronto, interviewed a num- ber of representative cattle dealers, This is what A, 0. Dames, of Cranbrook, says :-"I think it would be a great benefit to the country if bbe gnaraatiee were raised. A majority of the farmers of the country raise more cattle than they can feed. These are as a rule the poorer class of farmers, and it would in- crease the mins that they would reoleve for their small dabble, These would also be an advantage in rsspeob to Woe in shipping our cattle there. We would probably get better space rates than are now quoted, and the shipment of oabtle by way of Boston and New York in bond would bo faoiliated. There would be 00 serious competition on the part of the United States against Canada, because the elms of cattle we would ship over there is a class that it namely pays the Canadian farmer to feed. There is no demote of the spread Of disease by a miti- gation of the quarantine regalntione, and T do not believe that any inepeobion ae s noeessary so far as Canadian cattle am concerned, I am satisfied that there is no Meanest in our cattle, not even tuber - /Weals. It would bo as well to have some inepeobion of American cattle 0om. ing into Canada, booause I believe there is disease on the other side, Thera certainly is taxes fever -and hog cholera, and it world be necessary to protect our. selves against that, Wingetealattae The plate glees for she nate Shaw blots art•ived and was put in, A, 11.

A ladder was taken from the side of the mow and placed at a small door South of the barn and in this way the grain, &o., were taken from the building.

The claims of Presbyteries for the past six months were examined, and various sums, ranging from 550 to 51,000, ordered to be paid to Presbyteries.

No Nepotism, To the Bdlter of Tap Your Dano Stn,—From recent personal ee. Wetness to myself in the 001002120 of one or two Huron County newspapers, it is evident that a rnie•apprel,ensioa exists in some quarters as to the circumstances of my com00 ernployoo of bite Ootat o Goverbenmenting, and' that It le supposed I owe my to 1 in the Whim* 04 m i Y 'tesla Thera ' � ` ' o bspn T. P. P for 'a Ct >r P Est Huron, As bhis,is a matter whioh, iu the eyes of some, has suddenly taken on pub. lis lmpgrbance, I desire to warred this apprehension, and to stat( briefly the facts. In 1880 the Hon, T. 13, Pardee required the eervices of a private secre- tary, his former secretary having resign. ed, and lie asked a mutual friend of his and my own—the late George Eyvel—to recommend a suitable man for the place. I was then in the employ of the English and Scottish Tnvesbmeut Company, of Toronto, but had previously been on the reporting staff of the Globe, and was eon- oidered to have the necessary qualifies, tions for the position, Mr. Eyvel re0om• mended nae, I was sent for by Mr, Par. deo, and after an interview with him was engaged as his secretary. I left the em• ploy of the Investment Co., and entered upon my duties without any reference whatever to my uncle, without his know. ledge, and without his being consulted in any way whatever. In 1880, having suf- fered from a severe attack of writer's cramps, I resigned nay position, much, I have reason to believe, to Mr. Pardeo'e regret, and reburned to !roxeter, whore I entered into business, which after five years ended unsuccessfully. In 1891 a friend from another part of the county asked me to recommend him as shorthand writer to the Bureau of Mines, whioh was then being organized. As I knew him to bo a good mac I did so, as also did my uncle. The reply I received was that it was -understood that I was myself out of a position, that my previous experience in the Croton Lamle Department would enable me to be of service in the Burma of Mines, and that if I would accept the place I oouid'bave it.. After some hesita- tion, for I was nob at all anxious to re- enter the Government service, I decided bo accept the offer, and did so. My uncle again know nothing of the matter until I showed him the letter I had received from the Department. Neither on the first or seuoncl occasion had he anything to do with my appointment, and itis altogeth- er untrue to say or insinuate that he ex- ercised his Millionth in my behalf. I con- sidered that on both occasions I was ap- pointed on my own qualifioatious alone, and I did not require the assistance or influence of anyone, nor did I ask it. It is a fact that she influence of my uncle during his long public, career has been. sparingly asked, and as sparingly exereis• est, on behalf of any of his relatives ; bot I have yet to learn that relationsbip to a member of the Legislature is a bar to the exercise of any of the rights of citizenship. Ono of these I claim to he the right to earn my living honestly the best way I can. I would be ashamed, sir, to trouble yon with these personal details, whioh ought to be of uo earthly interest to any one but myself, were it not that the fact of my being in the employ of the Govern- ment has been made she ground of a charge of nepotism against my uncle. I have reluctantly written Ibis letter as the best moans of showing that no such ground exists. Yours very truly, Taros, W. Gmsov. Toronto, Oct. 17th, 1890.
