T E AR EXHIBITION. — The Art Exhibition closed on Monday evening last. It w s kept open for about ten days/ and p treed :successful beyond the ;most sang ine expectations of the pro- ! moters.

The gross proceeds amounted t $185, leaving a balance of $118.89 for the benefit of the-Institrte after all th expenses are paid. Mr. Croc1ett, o Hamilton, whb was the principal d" castor, did his dart well, and to any •ho may desire' get up a similar ent.rtainment we would say they can n6 ,do better th n' to avail themselves t f his services. f M. usens +a's CotwrcTIONB.

No answer, neither yes aye, or no, all given, and no adverti.4enient or local publis ed. So far as the excursion would be influenced b the advertisement in the ExPokiroa} it made no d erence,since it was thoroughly pub.; fished by po tem and through the other papers but so far a public opinion and a sense of fair play and imrlartiality go, it makes a very great differenCe, since the EXPOSITOR'S conduct *mad lead those w o are uninformed to think that we had slighted he EXPOSITOR, or, that having the management in my hands 1 had acted paxtially and slighted the Exrosrroa and its readers. Thiri is the secon small trick of the ExPosrrert. in regard to far ere within eighteen monthsi On ths former occasion he made a promise, and, broke it ; on this occasion he gave silent 00E304 and negative action. It is time that fatinerk were eonvinc d that the EXPOSITOR iv no ilfrlerid' of theirs, an that if any one mie9ed going oxt thec excursion t ough want of notice the blamer does, not rest with the committee.

But, notwithstaoding this diffidence n his part he his long been c thirsting fo a passing notice -from Tna t EXPOSITOR, nd has adopted various ea- 1 pedients to secure what seems to'beone of the card nal objects of hit existence. c Well, for th fun sof the thing, we shall ' try to grati- him. As a rule we do not care to was e time and space upon non- entities, bu as the news market is just now somew at dull, and as statements ' such as the above, no matter how in- ' significant ie author may be, Ore whale- ' times calcn ated to leave a wrong im- pression n on the public mind if not ' refuted, we shall for once depart trOM our oustomel only we must, express our regret that the game is sciercelf werth the powdee, view it in *hetet& light we rna,y, but, such as it is we nand deal with it.

First, we are acctised of havieg refused to publish an advertisement of the Grange excursion even When ordered to do so by the committee; and I second, of having in ome way or othen but how it is not stat d, offered. an insult to the farmers. Aiii to the ffrat portion of the' complaint, We have to say that Mr. Mc- Quade did net authorize .us to publish an advertisement of the excurson, else we should have gladly done so. He came into the office with an armful of hand -bills sad left one upon the ;counter the samp as nearly every other bill dis— tributor is ia tr.te habit of doilag, and which we suttposed was intende4 to be • " posted up 'too sato be seen by those coming iota the office on bnsinees, and the bill' he I left i was " posted up " accordingly, 1 and was kept ' so exposed in the most conspicuous place in our business office uutil the morning -of the excursion. Re so handed ns .a slip of piper tapir ed " local " and remarked that we mi ht " insert that if we likedi and thet he committee Would probably want" s Me advertising done.

The reason we, 'd net inthert the " lo al " he was so kind as to;furniele jai, Was, that we prefer our ow' com- position to that of Mr. McQaathaand 'we feek, abundantly competeot to Manage our own business without his lassistance, and *hen we do require thet 1 assistance ., we can ask for it. .We dide hiewever, ' ansonnee in our local columns that he 1 excursion had been arranged for and e date upon which it would take pla;te. We did this in the same manner as we do for other similar entertaiaments. Mr. McQuade's peculiar way of doing businesh may also bei judged. from his lishers of the Mitchell Advocate also mieunderstood him, and throngh his bungling the advertisement . failed to appear in that paper as well as in Tem EXPOSITOR. We _hope tthe committee will pardon us for suggesting that M the future they empower a competent person to transact their business, and not entrust it to a " blatherskite " who taw puffed up with a vain sense' of his own importance as to be ot the verge of lunacy, and whose ideas of business are as ortide as his methods of farming, and who is credited with having the airtiest and most slovenly kept farm in the county of 'Enron.
