in Listow,e1 for the purpose of oinking a salt well
in that flourishing village. Itis thought the vil-

.A most malignant type of the scarlet lever, is
- very prevalent in Mitchell and vicinity. Many
deaths have already nccurred. In the family of
Mr. Hugh K. Stewart, alone, five of his children
were lying ill at one time, and two have died.
The disease is adso quite prevalent throughout
ethe adjoining Townships of Hibbert, Fullarton
and Logan.
The Tavistock correspondent of the Stratford
Beacon, says :--" Mr. 13. Shantz, Reeve of East
Zorra, have sold his property in Tayistoek to Mr.
Henry Lieseraire, formerly of Hampstead. Mt.
Shantz is about to embark in the ,salt and flax
business iu Seaforth. He deserved to do well
wherever he goes. His removal from Tavistock
is a source of general regret."

The rash of improvements ati Stapleton Salt
Works is still onward. The Messrs. Ransford.
have secured telegraOhie communication from

also finished a tramway from their works,con

that they can lay their Salt "t o. b." at Much less

A farmer who has recently travelled through.
several of the Townships ha the southern part of
the County of Perth, says that the fall wheat is
so rank in many places that calves and. sheep are
turned in to feed upon it in order to keep it down;
but the breadth sown is not large. It An unusual.
quantity of ploughing has also been. done 'in the
same locality, during the present fall, it being in-,
tended. to sow a largebreadth of oats, peas, and
barley, in the spring instead of so much [spring
wheat, as forraerly. A good idea, as such crops
pay much better in -this part of the countrY now,
and are a much surer crop than wheat. The
sooner our farmers given!) growing so much wheat, ,
and raise more coarse grains, and stock, the bet-

CORRESPONDENCE.
( We wish it to be distinctly understood that we do
not hold ourselve,s in any way respon,sible for the
opinions expressed by our Correspondents.)
To the Editor of the Huron Expositor:
SIR,—In perusing the columns of last weel k's
Expositor, I observed with pleasure the defeat !of
the County By-law, for the purchase of the North-
ern Gravel Road, for such was the real essence of
the By-laW, altho' coupled with the abolition of
the tolls on the County Gravel Roads, and I may
safely affirm a more iniquitous proceeding was
never before submitted to the ratepayers 1 Of
Huron. The Town of Goderich, after driv away the the most of their southern customerh by jhe
grasping and narrow-minded policy of their b in-
ness men, conceived the idea . of building he
Northern Gravel Road, so as to secure to he
Town the northern trade, and in fact the North-
ern Gravel Road was to be their Eldorado. But
alas ! "The best laid schemes of mice and men
gang aft aglee:" A few years later the Cou 'by
Gravel Roads were built, and new market pla es
as if by magic influence sprang rapidly into ex tit-
mice, and became settled by a more liberal and
energetic class of business men. Consequently
they withdr w a great deal of the northern cos -
tom expected, and as God erich continued, an is
continuing to ,be notorious for paying the v ey
w
loest prices Possible for all. itind.s of -farm p o -
duce, they in a great measure contributed larg ly
in assisting to 'build up their more enterpris 'g,
rivals. But it is said, "drowning men ill
catch at straws," hence the idea of trying w th
the assistence of the united press of Huron, ;to
blindfold the eatepayers by coupling the p r -
chase of the Northern Gravel Road with he
abolition of the tolls on the CountyGravel RoaIs.
But the decision arrived at by theratepayers,
clearly proves that there is a fund of good sense
in this County which -cannot be deceived. In
reviewing the vote of the several municipalities
there seems to be a strange. inconsistency from
-what might have been expected from the teaph-
ings of the united press Of Huron. Fos insta, lee,
the t.to extreme Southern Townships of jihe
County, Usborne and Stephen, the latter voted
unanimously_ against the By-law 160, and the for-
mer voted 16 for and 130 against. And also the
-two extreme Northern Townships, Turnbetry
and. Howick, the former voted 15 for anC76
against, • and the latter voted 22 for and 163
against, Now, Mr. Editor, I say all honour is
due to the independent ratepayers of these Todd). -
ships, who pat's the highest toll tax of any Tersen-
shies in the County, and who voluntary declare
by their votes tlfat they would rather continueto
do so than allow all the ratepayers of the County
to complinient the Town of Goderich* with forty
thousand dollars: So much for the vote of the
toil -worn farmers of these Towiaships who are
most interested in the abolition of the toll- gates.
Allow me now to return to the vote of the l Town
of Goderiele, and the incorporated Villagesof
Clintoti and Seaforth. Goderich voted 500 tfor
the By-law, and 3 against it Clinton, eitherl by
accident or design, was neutral, as there votecj 31
for and 31 against. Seaforth voted 72 for and 7
against. The 'former and the latter of these
places go • strong for free roads, while they pot-
leet a tax of ten cents from every farmer who
goes to either of the places with a load of firm
produce to trade and. in Seaferth a former from
the Southern trade,
bee evenitto drive his
horses with 60 or 70 bushels of wheat, on a
stormy dAy and bad roads; a full half mile to pay
his tenger:its, and then return the same dist nce
before he ean unload. While C1inton,whichtwas
neutral on . the By-law, collects no market feet
from the farmer or any body else. In hat w k's
Expeiftor there is a very mensible and well- .t..

Heavi-y Yield of Potatoes.
i
To the Editor of the Ifuron Expositor.
Senet-In a late issue of the Huron .Expositor, I
notice a report of fifty bushels of potatoes being,
raised from one bushel of seed. Last spring I ob-
tained a bushel of potatoes, Harristim and Laity
Gooclerich, from. Mr. Wm. Weld, of London; be-
fore planting, however, a quantity of them was
destroyed by being left within reach of the cattle:
the yield from the remainder was 60 bushels.-
