til atien of the Legislative rant to Ag-
riciltara Societies. Every one :knows
thee G ant is only a poet of our money.
'['he Iritish North American Act pro-
vides .that each Province receive the
511111 of eighty cents per head of J)O1Ul2i

84111 by that means Huron deposits the
sm. d $41,563.00 per a,nnam into the,
'Yr' ast ry of Ontario, and receives in re-
tur he agricultural grant of$1,400—
cer aie ly a liberal grant had it been in
pro01
ration to other count**. Take for
ex in le the County of Hastings, which
dei osi a the suni of35,976.00 per aa
-
nu i Ito the Treasury of Ontario, and
rec qv a in return the agricultural grant
of , le 01.00. The principle of dividing
-1e3, p01 illation is admitted inthe division
of eh ol money. The principle of divid-
ing ac .ording to ratepayers is adMitted
in lIhe division of the 'Municipal Fund,
(or 1w lat is commonly called Clergy
Re ersi e Fund). if it ishist in the

' SIR, —It in --astonishing to see with
what ease and 'pleasure sonic people will
roll ecandal, falsehood, &c., under their
tongue as a sweet morsel. Nearly every
section of the country have- to maintain
a few of those personS whose sole aim and
life is eo injure their fellow -being, persons
-who will grapple and. twist it into a rope,
a word to form a sermon., a bap to make
a scandalous untruth. While other
parts of the country - are to a greater or
less extent nested with such infallibles,
this particular part is no mean competit-
or. Who has ever resided in this Sec-
tion that can say they Mere not in some
way or other been th-e eubjeet of
calumny, and very often biought togrief
and shame by vilifying tongues? A
_school teacher in this vicinity went to
spend his vacation among sew friends,
and not having received his salary from
the trustees, left a few bills
This was sufficient—some one said "
looks suspicious," another "may be he
has run away," and another, " 1 believe
he has." This was as much as vomiting
something as black as a - crow, and con-
sequently it must be true he surely is
in the States before this 1" Heads were
stt ck together, stories exchanged, and.
doubled gossip was the order of the day.
Tattling old dames sipped at their tea,
-sugared. by the latest news; eheerily the
sleigh bells sounded, followed by •the
pleasure seekers chanting the cherishea
"hear say, and • they say."
Greedily' were the turkeys gobbled
down, -spiced with the welcome
tidings that one more unfortunate was
being "pushed down the hill." A war-
rant was isseed, a seizure made of oii
:books, 'clothing, &C.,rennlining in his
boarding room. Monday evening came,
the teacher returned—intending to etatt
school on Tuesday—but to be shocked
by the doings of those who a few days
before were. regarded as friends. But
why all this fuss? ,0h, the mighty dole
lar, it -mast come regardless of a man's
reputation. A few dollars before a man's
character—but hanraly so by unmincipl-
ed, niggardly money cravers. How
could such woudeiful ideas get posses-
sion of ehose wonderful little craniums ?
