Dtttee Linn IT.—The firm of Craib,
llieWhirter Sr Co., of Clinton, evidently
do net appreoiate the passing notice we
gevetihem a couple of weeks ago. We
-have received from them this week
whq purports to be a reply, but as we
havemore consideration for them than
theineem to have for themselves, we
save;thern from further public) ridicule
by deolining to publish their produc-
tion.; We may say, however, that it is
pretty' much in keeping with their last,
only elonsiderably "more so." It is a
concoption of abuse of their neighbors
and. Of laudation. So far as the first
is concerned we would not have much
hesitation in publishing it as it couldn't
do =nob harm ; but as regards •the
second,vee cannot afford to permit even
so enterprising a firna as this seems to
be, t'e puff themselves, their blIBilleSS,
and Aeir waresethrough our columns,
free lel charge. They on do so, how-
everitat a very moderate cost. As the
firra=teems to thirst for notority we are
(VW/twilling to afford them. every facility
in out power, providing they are able
and willing to foot the bill.
A 0-003D Peow.—Messrs. Munroe &
Hogen, the -well-known plow manufas-
tunnel of this town, have patented and
are DpW manufacturing a plow of their
own envention, which for utility and
general convenience surpasses any of
the inore recent efforts in tbe same di-
rection that we have seen. It is a steel
mould board with a wrought iron beam,
but fee° former is BO shaped that it can-
not, tut clean in any soil, and it is inl-
pose,-Me for it to choke up no matter
how aough the land may be. Instead
of the width and depth of out being
regulated by devices at the dranglat
end (4 the beam as in other plownthese
are geuged by a very simple and easily
worked contrivance at the other end of
the bieara, and the whole areregulated
by one small bolt. It is light to handle
and *I Very light of draught, and is
'Withal, BOsimple of construction that
aay Orson can understand it at a glance
and regulate it with ease, and ,besides
it seems to be strong and durable.
They have been thoroughly' tested in
all kinda of soil and have worked satis-
factorily. Orders for them are coming
in Aster than they can get them manu-
factured.
APPARENTLY UNFAIR.—MR. EDITOR,—
SIR : Seeing the advertisement and
also the bill of your races, to be held on
the 24th inst, at Seaforth, I noticed you
have made a three year old race, and
also bar all colts that ever started in a
race at that age. I would like any
person to show me where there is a colt
in this county, as a three year old this
spring, with the exception of mine, that
ever started in a race. He was only
put in -here to fill the race last year, as
a two year old, but 1 might say was
only a foal to compete with your fashe
ionabIe bred three and even one four
year old. Sir, I think it looks veryper-
Hanel, after knowing my colt the only
one in the county that ever started in a
race as a three year olcIthis spring to bar
him in such ttnice way. If the direc-
tors wished to bar him; why did they
not come out and do so openly? It
looks to me as if the Seaforth people
warted to keep as much of the prize
money let home as possible, and I think
the liberal supporters of your races will
see this in its true light. I ask for no
favors, but I wish for fair play. „My
colt is only three years old this spring,
and I wish to start him as such. He
never started in a race, except against
the three year olds last spring, and if
they are really afraid. to let him start
against the Seaforth fashionable three
year olds, then I must say that it is
saying a good deal for the Sorrel Cloud
colts. All I want is to be -permitted to
start a three year old against three year
olds, and should I be succeseful in
winning the colt stake, I suppose
would have to ask for my entrance
money only bank.. Hoping the directors
will see thia matter in its correct light
and give me a fair show, I remain
young, &c., THOMAS TIPLING, Clinton.

COMPLIMENTARY SUPPER.--t-ine menus
of Mr. Samuel Hicks to the number of
about thirty, entertaine/hina at a corn-
- plimentary slipper at Daisy's Hotel,
Egmondville, on Friday evening last.
The supper was gotten up as a parting
tribute of respect to Mr. Hicks, previous
to his departure for the Northweet.
The supper was all that could be de-
sired, and was fully in keeping with
Mr. Daley's well deserved reputation as
a public caterer. After supper the chair
was taken by Mr. G. E. Cresswell, and
the. vice-chair•by Mr. Henry Cameron,
and the various toasts usual on such
occasions were given and -fittingly res-
ponded to. The Guest of the Even-
ing," - was proposed in an eloquent
speech by the chaarnaan, who eulogized
Alr. "Hick's many excellent qualities
both of head and heart. The toast was
most enthusiastically received, and was
replied to by Mr. Ricks in a neat
speech in which he thanked his friends
for the honor done him, and assured
them that wherever. his future lot
might be cast, the county of Huron and
the many warm, true friends he left
behind him there would ever remain
green in his memory, and would con-
tinue to occupy a waxne place in his
heart. Speeches were also delivered in
response to toss. ts by Messrs. G. E.
Jackson, John Hannah, Thos. Hill,
A. Wilson, H. Cosgrove, Thos. Kidd, A.
Charlesworth, M. Y. McLean and
others. Excellent -songs were sung by
Messrs. W. G. Duff, W. 0. Reid, J. S.
Roberts and Robert Dickson. We may
also mention that the toasts were drunk
in champagne,presented for the occasion
by the secretary of the managing com-
mittee, Mr. G. E. Jackson. The affair
throughout was most successful and
pigment, and all seemed to enjoy
themselves thoroughly. If Mr. Hicks -
does not have the very best of good.
_luck in the Northwest, it will not be
because he does Pot possess in the full-
est degree the confidence and good will
of his friends here. He leaves in a few
days. , He will be accempanied by the
Messrs. Baird, of .Egmondvilie. They
all intend going to QuAppelle district,
and expect to take up land and settle on
it. They are the right kind of rnen to
succeed ill a new country, and we should
not be at all serprised if, before many
years, we should hear of our old friend
Hicks being elected to the Provincial
Legislature, or, better still, to the
Federal Parliament.
, THE RESULTS OF BECOMING TOO DEEP-
LY ABSORBED IN BESINESS.—A promin-
ent business man ° belonging to this
county, who is, by the way, one of our
shrewdest and most successful specu-
lators, and who does not restde Over a
thousand miles from the second con-
cession of MoKillop, drove into town a
few days ago and left hie horse tied neer
the post office and commenced attend-
ing to business in various parts of the
town. His mind became so absorbed
in business that he forgot all about his
faithful steed: When he got ready to
start for home he happened to be in an-
other partof the town than that in which
he had left his conveyance, and unfor-
tunately he had fergotten where he had
left it. Not seeing it on the street as
his mind realized what he wanted, he
commenced searching round for it in the
north part of the town, and not finding
it commenced ranting a terrible com-
motion, vowing that some person had
stolen hie horse. .Some of the knowing
ones enceuraged him in this belief, and
of course deeply sympathized with him
in his misfortune. After searching high
and low for the truant animal—in fact
in almost everyplace except where he
had left it,—he was about to give up
the whole thing and start for home,
with the view of determining what 're-
ward he should offer for the recovery of
his rig, and the detection and convic-
tion of the thief or thieves, when a
friend, who is something of a wag, and
who dearly loves a jokee and who had
all along watched the progress of
events, suggested that before abandon-
ing the search, he had better take a
walk down as far as the post office and
look in that quarter. Our business man
with a credulous look upon his counten-
ance at length consented to do this, and
upon nearing the spot in icated he was
somewhat surprised to se4 the familiar
form of his faithful eq ine, nodding
and dozing in precisely the same spot he
had left it about two hours before. It
is hard; even yet, to convince our busi-
ness friend that his horse wait not
really stolen. 1

veterinary surgeon, got a bad dose of
blood poisoning a few days ago, when

supposed that one, or at most two, of

cold winds continue. In past years
people in this neighborhood have been

the general -belief that there would be
no warm weather until the ice disap-
peared, but that theory has been
"knocked higher than a kite"during the
present season.

longing to his son, and one belonging to
the hired man. These articles had been
washed during the day and had been
left out on- the line over night to dry.
There were several other articles of
wearing apparel on the line but those
named were the only ones missed. The
foot -prints of three men were plainly
visible in the plowed land next morn-
ing, leading from the road to the house

Beeohwood, and accordingly alighting
from his waggon he entered the store of
Mr. Wright, who was froru home, and
finding Mrs. Wright in the store he
vented his spleen n on her, and in -
Halted 4nd abused her With his not
overly enteel tongue. Mr. Wright had
him sujnmonod before Mayor Strong, Of
Seaforth, who very properly fined him
for his ungentlemanly con uot.—Coet.

Spark, of Stanley, is busily engaged at
presen 1 forming a class in instrumental
music. Her efforts so far have met
with e arked success •' and, as the lady
is a ve y -efficient teacher, we think she
will h' ve little difficulty in getting a
large c ass here.
CHE SE FACTORY.—Our genial friend,
Mr. AI rray, is back again to this sec-
tion, 1 oking hale and hearty. He has
ahead .got the cheese factory running
in full 1 blast again. He is, no doubt,

two of our Justices of the Peace last
week for making a worm :for an illicit
still. He was fined otte hundred dol-
lars, and his employee Mr. George
Densteclt, was sent down for' thirty
days. These circumstances are very
trying, eepecially as Mr. Moser and his
assistant were led to believe they were
manufacturing an article to be 'used in

PRESENTATION.-- 0I1 Friday evening
of last week, Dr. MoDermid of this
place, who has for some time past ably
and gratuitously led the psalmody in
connection with the Presbyterian Even-
ing Service, was at the close of practice
presented by the choir with a hand-
some gold chain, accompanied by a very
feeling address, the latter being read by
Miss Louisa Reith. The gift was pre-
sented by Miss Murray, in the name of
the Congregation and choir. We con-
gratulate the doctor on the very friendly
feeling existing between himself and

Fire Bugs en Winnipeg.
Winnipeg, has had another sensation.
A despatch from that city, dated Mon. -
day, says: The alarming fact has been
forced, on the minds of the citizens
that an organized band of desperados
infest the city, whose determination is
to lay Winnipeg in ashes, hoping to.
reap rich plunder while the conflagra-
tion is in progress. On Saturday after-,
noon no fewer than five attempts were
made about four o'clock to fire build-
ings in different parts of the city, each _
one favorably situated for the purpose*
of the villains. Almost sirnultaneoue
fires were discovered in a stable attach-
ed te the Brouse House and in the
water closets of the Farmers' Hoteland
George Maxwell's residence. The
stable was consumed, but the ether
fires were extinguished in time- Pine
slivers whittled from a stick had been
deposited in these places and. ignited,
but in two the smoke attracted atten-
tion before the flames had gained
headway. At 11 o'clock at night a man
was detected trying to fire the Ameri-
can House, but he escaped. Two other
fires were also discovered on Sunday'
afternoon. An outhouse in rear or
Chambers' biscuit factory was fired;
the perpetrator being seen running
away. This morning preparations for
burning the laundry in rear of the
Queen's hotel were discovered. Kind-
ling ter fire, wrapped in paper andsatu-
rated with coal oil, had been inserted
under the loose boards of thelhouse. A..
stranger named Alexander McArthur,
who claims to hail from Kincardine,
Ont., but is latterly from "Brainard,
Minnesota,, was arrested; and has been
recognized as the person seen loath:1g
about the scenes of three of the fires •
immediately before they started. A.
jack-knife found on him has two nicks
in the blade, which would make a mark
in any soft wood whittled, with it.
Marks corresponding exactly with what
it would make are plainly visible on the
kit:tiling wood secured by the police
in the privies. On Saturday evening a
large number of special constables were
sworn in, and after church last night a
large citizens meeting was held inthe
City Hall, when a Citizens' Protective
Associatnite was formed by the leading •
reeidents, ilome of whom made strong •
speeohes, and urged that prompt ac-
tion be taken and swift punishment
meted to the scoundrels if caught. The
city is now patrolled night and day by
a strong guard, who will shoot down in- -
cendiaries on sight. The excitement
has now partially subsided, and a feel-
ing of comparative security prevails,
the general impression being that the
prompt action of the authorities end
citizens has deterred the fire -bugs from..
continuing their nefarious work.
-
—A fire occurred at Ridgetown on
Wednesday morning, which destroyed
nearly the whole business portion of -
the place. The aggregate loss wig
probably arnount to over 01.00,000. One
or two insurance companies lose heavily.
—At a meeting of Irishmen held in.•
Ottawa on Tuesday evening, presided
over by Mr. Baskerville, M.PP., resolu-
tions were passed expressing abhorrence
at the terrible outrage in Dublin on
Saturday last, regarding the assassin-
ation of Lord Cavendish as an act
which will tend to bring disgrace upon
Ireland, and expressing the hope that
the efforts of the authorities to appre-
hend the criminals would be successful.
Sympathy was expreesed for the fam-
ilies of thoee whom the murderous
attack have bereaved, and praying that
the needed consolation will be vouch-
safed. Copies of the resolutions were
ordered to be transmitted to the Irish
Executive and to the families- of the
deceased.
—Early Tuesday morning the body
of a woman was discovered in a dread-
fully mutilated condition on, the Ter -
onto, Grey and Bruce Railway track,
about one mile south of Woodbridge, in
York County. It proved to be a Mrs.
Gardner, who lived near where the
corpse was found, and who had been
from home since early the -previous
morning. It is evident that file had
beea run over by a train passing during
the night, but at what time it is not
known.
—A joint cable message from the
Roman Catholic Bishops of Ontario has-
been transnaitted to Mr. Gladstone by
Right Rev. Dr. Walsh, BlEhOp of Lon-
don, expressive of their sympathy with
him, and of their condolence with the .
bereaved families of the Secretary and
Under Secretary for Ireland in their
deep affliction. While raanifesting
their profound horror of the foul murder
committed at Dublin, and trust* that
speedy justice would overtake the per-
petrators of so dark a crime; they yet
hope it will not interfere with the re-
medial measures he had in view for thete
amelioration of Ireland.
