eon, yet a large number assembled, but
,the unfavorable weather was the means
0fpreventing the attendance of quite a
;lumber, Mae) other -wise would have
been present. Dancing commenced at
eight o'clock and was kept up until
twelve, when supper was served, to
errhioh ample justice was done by the
assembled party. When supper was
over, Mf. Storey was called on for a
song, to which he respouded and de.
livered onein his own happy and pe-
culiar style, and was listened to with
marked attention. Ile was followed by
John Menary, Jr., who sung a
stirring Irish song, which convulsed the
whole ,audience with laughter, and at
ita codnlusion he was loudly applaud-
ed.- Dancing was again resumed, and
was kept up without intermission until
ilearly five o'clock, when the party be-
gan to break up, each preparing to go
kis or her several way, and all admit-
ting they had spent, a most pleasant
time and wishing that they might soon
have the good fortune of spending an-
other evening in so pleasant a, manner.
All will join us in saying long life to
Pethick.

Blyth.
THROUGH SHIPMENTS. - La.st week,
Messrs. McKinnon and McMillan
shipped ten cars of wheat direct to Liver-
pool, and, Messrs. Clegg & Laidlaw,
shipped seven cars.
FIRE. -The house occupied by John
Drummencl was discovered to be ou
fire last Saturday forenoon, but by the
prompt action of the inmates it was ex-
tinguished before doing much damage.
I/EMI:E.-Mr. J. B. Watson, the
Canadian orator and humorist, is to
lecture in the Temperance Hall this
(Friday) evening. Mr. - Watson's lec-
• tures are good, and all who can should.
so to hear him.
RAILWAY MEETING. -Last Friday a
meeting was held at Hawkshaw's Ho-
tel in the interest of the proposed ex-
tension of the Port Perry and Goderich
Railway. • A committee was. appointed
to attendto the matter. The feeling
WaS unanimous in favor of the scheme.
Oun illsauscr.-Mr. Wm. Clegg, our
worthy Reeve, was in Goderich last
week attending the County Council.
Consequently Mr. Jim. S. Laidlaw was
to be seen on the market, as well as
Messrs. D. B. McKinnon and A. Taylor,
who buy grain here. Sometimes our
market presents a busy appearance.
Curacu MATTER G. Clark,
minister of the Methodist Church in
this place, is now holding revival ser-
vices. Rev. Mr. Williams, of Goderich,
has beeu assisting him.
-In St. Andrews' Church the envel-
opes are to be used to take up the week-
ly offerings. The ladies of this church
are busily preparing for a bazar, and if
they are as successful in the future as
they have been in the - past, we bespeak
for thera great success.
-There is to be a new pulpit placed
in St. Andress' Church. Although the
churcb is new, the pulpit is of rather
ancient design. The new one is to
have all the modern improvements.
The 'School Teachers' Con-
troversy.
To the Editor of du!, Huron Expositor.
Sut,-I fear that ',might be consid-
ered ungenerous if I did nob recognize
Mr. Ferguson's late attempt at candor,
and as a nice young man, not a, poet,
beautifully remarked, that "no great
constitutional principal is at stake," it
only remains for me to make a few com-
ments and speak peace to his infusorial
soul.
Mr. Malloch, under the circum-
stances, could not very well do other-
wise than advise Mr. Ferguson to write
the address-. Mr. Shaw was evidently
willing to flatter the vanity of his friend
Ames, and so confined himself to
making a suggestion which was not
acted upon, at least Mr. Shaw says so.
Mr. McFaul recovered from his ill-
ness only five weeks before the meet-
ing, and Mr. Ferguson was afraid. that
the shock to his nervous system caused
by reading and answering a post card,
would bring on a relapse, and conse-
quently no apologywas necessary- in
his ease. The Ask:elation appointed
Messrs. S. Hicks and. E. S. Holmes to
canvass Tuckersnaitho which they did
faithfully and with good results; but
Mr. Ferguson, thinking they were too
delicate for the task, sent a letter to
Mr. Henry Cameron asking his assist-
ance. The address was well done, and
I have 110 fault to find with it, but the
manner in which that committee was
manipulated is calculated. to excite en-
thusiasm, and it is a pity that a gentle-
men of such transcendant genius as a
strategist should not -have had a larger
field in which to exercise it. I had an
impression that the executive Commit-
tee, of which MaFereuson is also a val-
uable member, bad ° slightly stepped
aside from the beaten path, but when
I consider the age, learning and su-
perior intelligence of that part of the
committee of whose opinions, Mr. Fer-
guson is so competent an exponent, I
am constrained to bow to their decis-
ion, however adverse it may be to the
regulations by which they are supposed
to be guided, and say with one of old,
"No doubt ye are the people, and wis-
dom will die with you." -Cot.
Muskoka.
Mn. EDITOR:, -Please allow me to say
a few words in reply to:Mr. Barr on the
Muskoka question, and while on this
subject I would say that I have often
thought that many of the letters pub-
lished by the press relating to that
country were somewhat calculated to
mislead the public, from the fact ithat
although they may tell only the truth,
they do not tell the whole truth, and
SO give only a one-sided view of the
matter. I therefore, in any former let-
ter, endeavored to give both side.3 of the
question as much as I possibly could in
the space allowed me. And while I am
quite willing to grant Mr, Barr that the
country is both hilly and rocky, I can
go no further with him. He says the
most of the farmers cannot use a plow.
Wherever that is the case, it is because
they either have not got one or have
nothing to draw it with. As a proof
of this, ratty( a very large number of
plows exposed for sale at Bracebridge,
and in conversation with one of the
clerks I expressed my astonishment at
their having so many on hand. He
told me that that was nothing to what'
they had last • fall, and as to spriug
wagons, I may say that there are as
many there as in other new countries.
I also sew quite a few buggies while
there, and rode in one for over thirty
miles. He says enough land cannot
be got together to make a farm. Now
I saw farms there where every foot of
them was good and no waste from any
cause, but I admit these are *somewhat
rare; but there is no difficulty in get-
ting 200 acres on which you have 150
acres of good workable land, and not re-
quire to work it with a hoe either.
Again, he asks, why has the country
not been settled long ago. He might
just as well ask whywas not the Huron
tract settled before it was, as some
parts of Ontario much inferior in qual-
ity was an old settlement before the
Huron tract was thought of. If, for in-
stance, we take the Sault Ste. Marie
district, where there is every chance to
be as good a market as Toronto and
where there is more shipping in a
week than in Toronto in a month, the.
place has been settled for the last
couple of centuries, and while the land
is cousidered to be equal to the best in
Canada for agricultural 'purposes, yet
until the last six years there was not A
single foot of land cultivated five miles
back from the river. But Muskoka is
not so badly settled after all, as I be-
lieve there are somewhere about 45,000
inhabitants, and to Bra,cebridge alone
there are two steamers plying daily, be-
sides other ports and other means of
locomotion. This is certainly consid-
erable to do the carrying trade for the
inhabitants of a few deserted shanties.
I have no intention, Mr. Editor, of
writing further on this subject, and
thanking you for the spa -de occupied, I
am, yours respectfully,
JOHN WILLLeMS.
