E ROAD -STEAMER AD CENE11.t. F.1.1p1 orii:Il.tTros, AVh7at has hitherto been said in rPfeird ti the importane! of jr. Thomson's road- s .•amer to the fai•mer. has only 1 eferred to tile eine item ol'• Lilo'hi ig. , ilt t there i , 10 are innumerable farm operations in which the -steamer can be used to the saving of much labor, both horse and manual. In analysing- the daily expenditure, Lord. Dunmore bases his calculations on get- ting 208 days' work out of the steamer. That -this isnot oyerstated may be shown. from the fact that, during the past month, With the exception of four Sun- days and a fast day, the engine was under steal's' every day. The variety of work, besides ploughing, thrashing, and cultivating which it shas performed is interesting : pulling out tree' roots, g- ing to railway station with luggage, car- rying heavy timber, elating hay-,. and . straw, bruising oats, working saw -mill, carrying drainstiles, driving ashes; pump- ing water (the steamer has pumped 20,- 000 gallons in seven hours), driving the gravel for roads, driving coal, &c., &e. Lord Dunmore is also at present engaged on a plan to use the steamer in driving his reaping -and mowing machines, and on another machine by which. With the use of the engine, the grain will be con- veyed from his store barns to the thrash - inn mill. Since his Lordship Obtained the steamer he has been able to !dispense -with six horses, and to perform his work more expeditiously, effectually, and at less cost. It is to be hoped that we have shown that Mr. Thomson's road steamer has effected quite a revolution 'agricultural - pursuits ; and. that Lord Dunmore as he was -first to recognize the merits of the steamer as an agricultural implemeet, and the first to:venture practically on its application td- farm work, will -eceupy a prominent position in the future hisiory of steam ealtivation.-Scotenza 72: The Mor:,1 Bearing of the North Huron Election. To the, Editor of the Huron, Expositor. - Su -As the election -cif North Huron is now over, and that very peaceably, 'allow me to make Some remarkS on the subject through your jeurnal. • Before the contest began there was Mach sur- prise expressed at the uriseemly haste in which the elections were thrown upon the country by the government.. It was the conviction, however, of many here, that J, 8. SMitedonald undervalued the intelligence Of the electors of _Ontario, that it was the last throw of bis ;political • dice, which: wauld make him stare, if not curse his folly; when he should see the result of his Obliviousness of the moral henesty of the thinking men of this Rid- ing. The result shows that the people are no longer to be in,posect aeon by the specious sophistries of his hirelings, Who lack the moral character and cominoii honesty to command the respect and con- fidenee of ordinary men. '1'110 cense- - quence has been ti•e triumphasit suceess -of Mr. '1 h.oinas ( libson, who, we believe, will prove himsell to be a true lepresen- tative of constitutional governinent, and will make -his position in the Local •Leg- islature as a promoter of meaeures fon the advaneement of the many interests of our rapidly progressive country. e You, 6ir, in one of your late issues, gave a fair general ioutline of tbe many qualifications,. and the moral Worth Of Mr. Gibson as a warrantable recommen- dation of him, to the confidence and sup- port of the eleetors of North Huron and the result has not belied your col:di:Ince in, and the just estimate of the' Men en- truSted with the franchiSe in thi d Riding. iNow, no such recommendatioa either in whole or in pal t, was ever pat ferth b the. friends or the supperters of Mr. Gibson's opponent. It is.something, said one to us yester- day, (as marking `the progress of (tun coun- try and the intelligence cif outl• people) that Mr. Gibson, who was one of toe pioneers into the bush, should, by ill- domitable industry, have raised 4' himself to his present positions and now be elect -- est -to the Local Legislature by such an. overwhelming majority. Hc is now to be put on his trial as the 1,eople's representative Of orth Huron. 11 ` coming events cast • their shadows before," we -would sten that we have- everYthirig •to rope ffiT froth -our newly clotted member; if the s'iadows of his Private and. public life in the •past, ind-h• (elle anythingait is this, that 'we shall have in hint a representative, who will give his beet i.itteation to his parliament- arY flutieS,- and will be influeneed neither by fear nor by ,favor, to shirk any- duty ly whiell the best interests of -hie eon- stituhnts and hie country can be .served. . lf Mr: Cibsoe. is spared, to collie bank and ans‘Ter foic his public coudnet to the electors, it will not be rohad that he will blind thein by false asseverations, and that. in the face of documentary evidence to the eonixary.

Eyvers ability to enforce "Order -el -leaven s fii•st Law." This result (so important to the progress of any school) seems to be, not the effect of fear on the nart of thepupils but affection ; in fact thiough the whole of the exercises there seemed: to exist a perfect harmony and understanding be- tween teacher and pupils. With regard to the progress made by the pupils, we need only say that all who svere- present testified that a great and noticeable ad.- vancement had been made since last ex- amination. We have not -time to notice the different branches in Whicp.they were examined, but I would mention particu- larly; History, Arithmetic, Penmanship, and. Elocution. In the !atter brameh especially, we venture te say that very few village schools can produce pupils who practice that muchenegleeted study, reading, with such taste andexpression. The proceedings were interspersed with some interesting 511(1 laughable dialogues by the mils, which had the effect of preventing any signs of weariness on the part of the younger scholars andvisitors, though the exammation lasted for more than five hours. After being examined in the different branched, Prizes were awanled to the successful cbmpetitors. The proceedings were 'closed with prayer by'Rev. .Mr. Brown.. Mr. Eyvel, though 4 younn man, has had considerable eX- ; . 0 perience in teaching, and from co -were -a - tion with the inhabitants of W exeter, and from the state of his school, we believe 4 him to be fully capable of disc larging the duties that devolve upon hin. I would Say, however, in conclusion, that I think. the. trustees of Wroxeter schpol are inin posing rather too heavy a b mien upon one teacher, in managing a school, which (we are informed) has had an average at- tendance for the past few weeks of about 120 pupils. --A Vhshron. • For correctnesd, style, ite d beauty, Frank Paltridge's photogrophs excel, - at oue dollar perdozen.• Canada.
