Le i4ative Grant to griC41tu- ral Societies. To the Edito/ of the Baron ' pesitor. eta, In' looking over a ate Ontario Bltie , ooli, I find- that the. County of Hu •ones very unjustly usedi in the dis- 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 ti')0 f oni the Government of Canada, 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 Fj Se oo and Municipalities fund, the sumo pririeiple ought to app4 in the ap- por m meet of the agricultural grant.

The fol coy ng table of statistics ' taken from int rn to the Government of Ontario for 18 9 will show the injustice of the for go ng, it is high time that the fei,nd • of agricultural societies mould lob - a -ter their interests. The Press and Mum ipal bodies should uni e with agri: cal •irr el .soeieties to press he Govern - me it of Ontario to bring bill before the t ouse this session thin, would dis- tri ut the grant on a just pi Mciple.

' 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 ? for any numskull coaldeeasily see that a Dian would be likely to take his best clothes and other movables that might have been taken under the circumstances if intending to leave the countalt But en 1ithd lnisnies--m a looee kind_ of way " and "we heal (1 or saw some -- thing '' ,,which, of course, Di71,5i be true. Let' those who are without sin throw stones. How long still such week eoli- th:toe ? When will people learn that a man's character is worth something ? 11 this does all blow over, let parties. have anare how they handle the edged tool of i calumny, leht they be taught some day from their tenderest spot—their pocket e ---that a character ie not to *he tampered with, cried down, and spread all over a township or country without some reasonable cause.
