This aninaal is What is required by the ast people of this fast County. Mr. Hodgson 'now owns time first-class stallions it •I Tuckersmith. FARM SOLD.—Mr. ,Tolin Grant, of Con , L. R. S., to. 41r. Biers from Tuckersirth, has sold hie farm, Lot No. 24, West Niesouri, for $4,400. The farm con- tained 100 acres, and is One of the best farms in. TuckersMith. Mr. Grant speaks of going to Manitoba. . The Hill's Green Squabble. To the Editor of the H117074 Expositor.. You will, I sespect, be getting weary of the "Hill's Gli.eien . Temperance meeting eontroversy ;" bit as in your last issue is published a commnnication from "Stand Square " in which, besides per- sisting ill his charges, he tries to make my statements of the things he had re- ferred to fappear as grounds for some of them, I hope you will allow space for a few remarks. He represents what ho calls the main part of his charge as fullyadmittel This, "that of giving a dose of politics under the guise of 'a temggr- mice lectere," is by no means the nlISst serious ; but allowing such tol* the case, what are the admitted grounds for it? They aree that a story was told of a per- son who Was alluded to as being of the same name as one tion traversing this region, having to fly Ithe country for treasonable actions. Asl this was well known tol apply to but the person, near- ly all at the meeting, I' believe, came with "Stand Square" t the palpable conclusioiii that William Lyon Macken- zie was the person allude4r to, and that Hon. Alex. Mackenzie 'ev s the one of .. the same narnewith him. Well, I fancy there ma' have been seiveral persons otherwisethan good of the same name with the Premier, but the idea that re-, ferring to them as such" caa be matter of calumny to him is simply absurd. And as the parties of the present time were in no way', whatever spoken of, if this is politics, then, the ponclueion must be that a person once engaged in public business eannot be spoken of without "mouthing" them. If thils "is what he calls a dee of politics, there can be no objections to this charge, but. his 'mean- ing of the phrase should h4ve been given with it. But be strained as it migilit, 119 plea coulne found 'in it for launching out into a tirade of abuse upoin the lecturer, so he must needs invent alie, repre'sent it as coming from hirn, and then defame hirn for uttering it. This is what was characterized as mean and contemptible, and it is What mixed with the rest gives plausibility to the whole. But he says 1 when I prove that he is wryng in saying that the preaent Premier Was affirmed by Mr. Rice '" to be a nep ew, or some other relation, to W. L. Al ckenzie," he "will be prepared with re tithing testi- mony." It is, I believe, an established rule that if a charge is made and denied, until substantiated, it 'slassuld be con- sidered as un!ounded, arid so, though b.mple evidence that neither this nor anything of the same meaniag was said can be obtained, I will„ awlait the proof which he, who is welilsnown in this place,/ ie so chary of giving at home. IT. impli' of de desigi charg s that "I write at the instigation igning men." There is a, mutual that unwarrantable and false s agaiest a person Who incurred them!by fa'voring us at trouble to him- self, jsball not go uncontradicted; but that l am a cat's-paw to others is quite on a par with the rest of his piece. I cann t see in what -his forbearance has 4 been exercised; and for the Scriptural pasedge he quotes for my benefit I have only/to say that, with wheal he advises shall be l Inc e tarry for, wisdom does not always com , of which fact " Stand. Square's" lett rs furnish ample proof._ In return for his counsel I hope I allowed - NEW DRESS GOODS, JYEJT GREY LUSTRE'S', NEW PMI'S AND DUNDAS COTTONS, ez ; Cloths and Tweeds, NEW HAS AND CAPS, (SILK HATA NEW GENTS' FURNISHINGS.
