A FACTORY FOR SEAFORTH.
At a meeting of the , Asseeietien-
of Flax Growers of Ontario, held on
Wednesday last at the Village of
Baden, it was tutanimously agreed
to establish a Rope, Twine andiack
Factory. The establishment ofisuch
a factory has been urged upoe the
Association for some time by Mr.
B. Shantz of this villager. At length
the Association agreed that they
would. subscribe haIf the stock re-
quired, if the ntunicipality in which
the factory should be heated would
supply the remaining amount. It
was also agreed, that in consiclera-
of Mr. Shantz , having been the ori-
ginator of the movement, that Sea -
forth should have the first chance.
The association are to meet again on
the 16th of December, and our citi-
zens are to be allowed until that
tirre to decide- whether ,oe not they
will guarantee the required amount
of stock to secure the factory. Thd
total amount required will be te-entv
thousand dollars. The amonnt to be
raised in Seaforth will, therefore, be
ten thousand dollars. At the com-
mencement, from forty to sixty
hands will be regularly employed,
and, of course, as the works extend,
the number of employees will be
iucreased. Them is cnly one such
establishment at present in operation
*elle Dominion, and that is located
at Doon, in the County of Water-
loo. The proprietors of this estab-
lishment say that they cannot now
supply one-fourth of the demand
for their articles. The enterprise,
therefore, cannot fail totbe a profit-
able one. The great advantage
such an establishment would be to
our village must be too evident to
every person to require urging by
us. It is manufacturing that we
now want, and must have, if our
village is to continue to prosper.
We earnestly hope, therefore, that
the present opportunity will not be
alloteed to go unimproved. The
time for decision is short, and our
businets men should not lose a day
in taking such steps as will secure
for as this establishmene It would
be well for the Council to take the
matter into censideration and render
assistance also. We may say that
both Stratfoid and St. Marys are
anxious to tecure this establishment,
aidif Seaforth Allows the opportu-
nity to slip by unimproved, it will
be eagerly embraced by• either of
these towns. We have confidence
enough in the enterprise of our busi-
ness men to believe that they will
not allow the present cpportunity
of benefiting themselves to slip past
them, but that they will energeti-
cally second the praiseworthy efforts
being put forth by Mr. Shantz in
behalf of ourjvillage.
.Ambition Run Bdad.
Ambition, either in an individual
or corporation, when kept within
bounds, is a commendable trait of
character, and should meet with en-
couragement. There are instanCes,
however, where ambition, in.ordin,
ately developed, has driven inividu-
als, as well as corporations, to do
very foolish things. This is exem-
plified by the action about to be
taken by the authorities of the vil-
lage of Listowel, as announced in an
advertisement which appears else-
where in this issue. The ambition
of this corporation has prompted it
to give notice itf application to the
Ontario Legislature for an Act ' to
"incorporate the townships of Mor-
"nington, Erna and Wallace and
"the village of Listowel in the
" County of Perth, Grey and. How -
"ick in the County of Huron. and
"Maryboro in the County of Wel-
" lington, into a junior aounty, to
"be called the County of Maitland,
"and attached to the Comity of
"Wellington for raneicipal and
"judicial purposes, with a Regis-
" trytothee in the village of Lis -
"towel for said jur4or County."
Surely some Listowelie is badly in
want of a Registrarship. In our
innocence we hid always thought
that the County of Wellington was
already too large, but it seems there
are people who think it should be
made larger° etill. With the rnunt-
cipalities of the Counties of tPerth
and _Wellington, above mentioned,
we have nothing to, do. But Viten
an attempt is being made to make
such free use of municipalities in
oui own 0;unty, we deem it our
ditty to enter. out .protest- against
suchebold and uncalled for ptheeed-
ingsi and to warn the peeple of
these townships of the niachinations
which are being set on foot for their
injury. There is not a County in
the Province which enjoys 86 many
advantagesasthe County of Huron,
and which is in such easy circum-
stances' financially. Our County
improvements rank in advance of
three-fourths of the Counties in the
Province, and our County debt has
been almost entirely wiped :out.
For the pest two years a large sur-
plus has been distributed among the
municipalities. To bring about
this enviable state of affairs, the re-
sources of our people have, in times
past, beeirsorely taxed. These diffi-
culties, however,- have .now been
overcome, and hereafter we may ex-
pect to erijoy in peaceful repose the
fruits of past severe toil, The peo-
ple of the townships of Grey and
Howick have, in the past, borne
their shares of this burthen, and
have contributed their due quota
to bring about the ‘asy position
which we now occupy. To force
these townships, therefore, into a
union with a county,. which is el -
ready too unwieldy, and which* hat
as yet searcely commenced the costly
improvements which Huron. has
completed and paid for, and which
is, besides; heavily burthened with
debt, would be an outrage against
• which- the people would very justly
rebel. k
The object of the people of Lis-
towel in inaugurating this move-
ment is quite evident. They de-
sire to have their village made into
a Coun4r town., They know that
the municipalities inteiested would
not willingly incur the expenditure
necessary for the establishment and:
maintenance of At separate county.
But, if they, can inveigle them into
this junior county, they know that
their position, tacked on to the old
county, will be so unpleasant and
unprofitable that they wilt do any-
thing to get out of it. The only
move then*left will be the esta,blish-
[pent of a new. county -with Lis-
towel as the county town, of course !
Thus, the people of the townships of
Grey and 'Howick, after having
contributed largely to assist the
County of Wellington to pay off her
debts, will be bled .again •for their
proportion of the heavy expenditure
necessary to establish and keep up
the new county. • The trap has, un-
doubtedly, been very nicely laid by
our Listowel friends, but we fancy
they will have to wait a while be-
fore they can seduce the people of
Grey and Howick to put their heads
into it.
The Elgin Association Frauds.
Under this beading the Toronto
Mail has, for several weeks, been
endeavoring to prove against Hon.
Archibald McKellai and Rev. Wil-
liam King, two distinct charges.
The first is, that these gentlemen
collected from charitably dispoted
persons in Great Britain and Ire -
lend large sums of money tit aid the
,Buxton Mission, and that the t have
• misappropriated at least a portion of
the funds So raised. The second
charge is, that through the represen-
• tations of these gentlemen a num-
ber of persons in London, Englam4
were induced to }.3ubscribe to a fund
• an1Oun ting to X2,137, ; that this
fund was loaned to an association
'called the Elgin Association, of
which Mr. King was President, with
the understanding that it should be
repaid, with interest, in four years;
that this payment has not been
made, and that the money has been
misspent or embezeled by Messrs.
McKellar and King.
In order that the foundation of
• these charges may be ttiore clearly
understood, some explanation is nec-
essary., A number of yeais ago
this Rev. Mr. King fell heir to an
estate in the Sauthern States. Con-
nected with this estate was a large
_number of negro slaves. Mr. King,
not desiring to retain these negroes
in bondage, sold his estate, and re-
moved toCanada with his entire sieve
property, and located them upon
land in the County of Kent, near
Chatham'which he had , purchased
for them feint the Crown. After
locating his negro colenythe applied
to the Synod- of the Canada Presby-
terian charcii. th assist him in the
establishment of Schools, Churches,
Ste, for the benefit of his settlers.
That body at once ccmplied with
his request, and established in the
settiemeet a mission under the aus-
pices of the church. This mission
was then called, and has since been
known as the Buxton: Mission. Rev.
Mr. King was pined in charge of
this mission by the Synod. A -fund
was set apart by the Church for the
support of the mission which they
had established, and was kept up by
occasional collections and contribu-
tions from the people. Mr. King
• proved a most zealous end ear
worker, and in a short tine, thro
the assistance of the church and
own efforts, succeeded ° in lay i ug
foundation of a large a nd prosper
colored- settlement. Several Eu
peat) philanthropists hearing of
settlement, and of the efforts be
pneforth by Mr. King in behalf
the colored people, paid it a vi
and urged upon him to seek aid fr
benevolently disposed persons
Great Britain to enable him m
fully to carryout his plans. T
he did, and succeeded in raisin
large sent, for the establishment
schools and otherwise assisting
the operations of the mission. • r
money, tin his return, heehand
over to the Synod of •the Cana
Presoyferian Church, and it was
prbpreated by ,them for the purpo
designed.. eNow, here, the Ma
first charge comes in. It affe
to show that Mr. King did not
count to the Synod for the wh
amou-et-which lie collected, but ti
he kept back a portion for bis o
use. ; .
• Prior to Mr. King's visit. to E
land, however, of which mention
above made, an,association was for
ed, and chartered by act of P
liament for the purpose ,of - assisti
him in his work, • This etsoelati
was called the Elgin Associatio
The. object of this association,
nearly as. we can learn, was,
manage the temporal affairs of t
settlement, such as • assisting - t
settlers to pay for th ir land, ere
comfortable and neces ary buildin
etc. It was, then, to this associ
tion, that the fund subscribed
London, was loaned. Now for t
connection of Mr. McKellar wi
the affair. It 'Seems that. in Cana
Mr. McKellar had rendered rau
assistance to Mr.. King in his unde
taking, but whether he was a me
ber of this Elgin Assoeiation or e
does not appear. When Mr. • Kin
was in Scotland on his collectin
tour, M- r. McKellar also happene
to be there on a visit, and, nieetin
Mr. King, was induced by th
gentleman to attend one of his mee
ings. The fund raised in Londo
was also paid over to Mr. McKella
as agent for the Elgin. Associatio
This nioney has not been repaid a
-cording to agreement. Efforts hav
several times been made by some o
`those who subscribed towards th
fund to secure its repayment, but a
yet we believe they have been un
successful. ' - Here is • where th
Maties second charge comes in. I
aserts that Mr. M.cKellar receive
the -money, and that himself an
Mr. • King, instead of handing it ove
to the Elgin Association to be use
by them for Olt benefit of the riegr
settlers, appropriated it to their ow
use, and used it for theiteowit pri
vete ends.
The charges thus made are of
serious nature. • With regard to th
first, we may say thee not a tittle O
evidence has been given to substan
tiate it. On the contrary, Mr
-King's actions were, at the time
closely scrutinized by the Synod
whose servant be was, and unde
*hose auspites he was. laboring.
Ile was ac3ountable to that bod
for every farthing which he collected
and the eery fact of their having
continued him in their mployment
to the present day as a ent of the
mission is sufficient evidence that
the charges against him are ground-
less, and that he has acted honestly
and •streight-forwardly throughtout.
In _fact, he stands high in the esti-
mation of that body, today, and his
efforts in behalf of ae down -trodden
race are duly appieciated.
With regard to the second charge,
abetter case has certainly been made
pet than in the first. But, it must
be remembered that as yet only one
side of the story has been told. It
seems to have been established be-
yond a doubt that the money had
been received by Mr. McKellar and
a reeeirtt granted for it by him. It
has also been established that a de-
inaed for the repayment has been
made, and that so far this demtnd
• bas not been complied with. "Wheth-
er Mr. McKellar is iesponsible for
the :repayment. of • this money, or
whether the Elgin Association is re-
sponsible hasnot yet been made clear.
It has not been made clear either,
whether tbe money so received had
been paid over to the Elgin Associa-
tion by Mr. MeKellar, or whether
that gentleman, with Mr. King, en•
clertook the responsibility of its ex-
penditure themselves. But, how-
ever these consideration3 may be,
the charge has been broadly made
and repeated.by the Mail, that Mr.
McKellar has appropriated the
money` for other purposes than those
for which it had been borrowed, and
that he is now unable to repa,Y it.
That this charge is as foundatiOnless
as the other, we have no doubt.' If
Mr. McKellar were as guilty as the
Mail seeks to make the public be-
lieve he is the matter would have
come to light long ere this, and men
such as Messrs. Blake, Mowat aud
Mackenzie would not risk their
reputation by choosing hi.m as a
member of their Cabinet, nor would
they for a day occupy a position in
the same Cabinet with him. That

they have done so is sufficient to
convince us that the accusation is a
base slander: But, more than this
is wanted. The charge is a most
serious one, and has been repeatedly
and persistently made and by treat-
ing it longeriwith siience Mr. Mc-
Kellar is doing himself and those
who tiust in .hini an injustice. No
matter how outrageously absurd a
charge may be, if it is persistently
repeated without being refuted,
theie aro many who will ultimately
come to believe it. Wel therefere
think, that in justice to himself, at
least, Mr. McKellar should give to
the public the whole facts of the
case. • We advise this course • the
morestrangly, because we know that
already the constant and unchecked
reiteration of these charges by the
Mail, and other prints, are having
an injurious effect upon Mr. Mc-
Kellar's reputation. If these jour-
nals be allowed to continue their
charges witholit contradiction, this
feeling will gain strength, and Pub-
lic confidence be shaken. Mr. Mc-
Kellar should promptly nail the
lie," by publishing the whole cir-
cumstances ot the affair; from be-
ginning to qud, andthus.vindicate
his own good name, and bring ridi-
cule and shame upon his maligners.
The Ontario Veterinary College.
The Ontario Veterinary College,
of Toronto, .under the Management
of Pi ofeesor Smith, has become one
of the most useful equational in-
stitutions of our country. A large
number of young men havegraduat-
ed at this college who have since
f
distinguished themselves not only
in this country but in the -United
States. The necessity for proper
ly trained and competent veterin-
ary surgeons is now conceded by all.
The brute treation are as subject: to
disease as are human beings, and
consequently require alniost equally
careful and skilful treatment. • The
value, then, of an institution where
those who feel inclined can_preplre
themselves to intelligently deal with
the diseases to which the lower or-
der of the animal creatien is subject
is very great. It is, therefore; a
-source of gratification that the 0n4
'tario Veterinary College has taken
such a high arid distinguished. rank.
In order to give our readers a bet-
ter idea of the standing and effici-
ency of this institution, we may say
that when the epizootic broke out
in New York, the authorities of
that city could find there no surgeon
who understood the disease suffic-
iently well to reat it seecessfully.
Under their treatment, many of the
animals Were growing worse: They
telegraphed to the Princfpal of the
Toronto Vetetinary Co!lege for his
treatment, Dr. Sinitht in response
to the telegram, sent to New York
two of his steidents, named Macfar-
lane and 1VIcIntosh. These gentle-
men found that the wrong treatment
was being pursued by the New York
horse doctors, and at once conirnenc-
ed with the treatment taught them
at the Ontario College, which prov-
ed so successful that every horee
that came under their charge recov-
ered, while malty treated by other
surgeons died. ;
Corruption ap Municipal Elec-
tions.
At the last :sessien of the On-
tario Legislature an act was Passed
providing against bribery and other
species of corruption •at municipal
electiens. The provisions of this
act are very stringent, and should be
known to all. Although we do not
wish to insinuate for a moment that
there is a single municipal dignitary
or would bo municipal dignitary id
the 'County of Huron who would
descend to bribery_ or con upt prac'
tices, even the treating of an elector,
-to• secure votes, yet, for the
benefit and information of our read;
ers, we publish the following synop-
sis, which gives the principal fea-
, ture_ s of the•bill:'
"All persons are,to be deemed guilty
of bribery who give, lend, or agree to
• give, or lend, either directly oriiidirectly,
money or any valuable consideration,
large or small, or who promise to secure
any place or employment, to any voter
m order te induce such person to vote or
refrain from voting at an municipal
election or .upon any by -la for raising
-
money by the municipality, or because •
such voter has so voted or refrained from
votingin thepast. t,
" It is also declared that those who
give or promise money, place; employ-
ment, etc., to any one for using his influ-
ence in municipal eleetions, or who shall
• advance money for bribery, or cancel,
• debts in consideration of voting in a par-
ticular way, shall each and allbe deemed,
guilty of bribery according to the Act.
In the same ,way any voter who .
shall, directly or indirectly, by himself
or by any. other person, receive any
money, gift. situation, employment, etc., ,
either for himself or for any other, for vot-
ing or refrainiug from -voting, or for hav-
ing done so, or who shall hire teams to
Carry voters to the poll, or who shall re-
ceive any pay for the use of Buell teams,
carriages,,, etc., shall also be liable for !
bribery under this Act.
"Intimidation of every kind is alai)
brought under its provisions, and, und14.
heavy penalties, prohibited. _
"The legitiraate expenses of candi-
dates are declared to be simply those for
actual professional services performed,
• and bona fide payments for the fair cost
of printing and, adverting.
The penalties foreontravenink the
• provisions of the Act are as follows
"1. The successful candidate at a
municipal election, if found guilty.by the
Judge, upon trial on a writ of quo war -
roto, of any act of bribery or of 'using
any undue influence directly or indireet-
ly as aforesaid, shall forfeit his seat and
ineligible at any municipal election for
• two years.
" The vote of any person so found
guilty shall be void, and. such person
shall incur a penalty of twenty dollars

Our Apprenticeship Over.
The London Times closes an ar-
ticle on the San Juan decision and
Colonial relations with the follow-
ing advice to Canadians, which may
be regarded as sensible or otherwise,
• according to the standpoint from
which we view it:
When the Canadians turn round upon
us. and say, "You lave medelled away
our interests without obtaining for us
aught that we desired.; you have aban-
doned our fisheries ; you have sacrificed
our frontier you have not given us open
trade with the States ; you have not se-
cured. any satistaction of our claims for
wanton injuries," what answer shall we
give? We =1st begin by confessing our
faults. It is true we have failed; we
did our best; but we had to keep one
eye on ourselves and another eye on you,
and all the time to watch the temper and
meaning of the American Commissioners
with very little intelligence te guide our
interpretation of their words; and if the
result is not satisfactory to you, neither
is it to ourselves; This we must say it
we would. be frank; but we may go on
to add something More. It is this
From this time forth look after your

mand for fall wheat, and spring was also
difficult to move, except at a decided
• concession from late rates. A few cars

changed hands.
Barley -The market was active, with
larger sales than have been reported for
some time, prices ranging from 63c for

about 4,000 bushels, wh;ch were taken
at from 65c to 70c, according to sample.

Some enquiries were heard for Western
States, but we did not learn of any trans-
actions resulting.
