—A Whitechurch correspondentsays :
There was a large representation of yeo-
manry at the adjourned cheese and but-
ter meeting on Friday, 19th ult., held in
the Grange hall here. A joint stock
company w -as -duly formed, with a cap-
ital of $2,505, to be known as the
Whitechurch Cheese and Butter Manu-
facturing -Company of Ontario. The
necessary buildings for carrying on the
work will be erected Soon on lot 10, con-
cession 1, Kinloss, near the railway
station. The following gentlemen form
the Board of Directors : James Wilson,
John Pelton, James Ross, John Gilles-
pie and Duncan McKellar, with Frank
Henry as secretary -treasurer.
—One day last week as one of Mr.
Andrew Govenlock's men, was drawing
saw -logs to Winthrop from beyond Wal-
ton, his load upset and he got his leg
crashed between the logs. He was re- -
leased and taken to Walton, and medi-
cal aid was brought from Seaforth to
adjust the limb. At last reports he
was doing as well as could be expected.
Wm. Teskey wan behind this team with
another load of logs, and thinking there
was room to pass, attempted to do so,
when he upset his load and wee thrown
before his sleigh and was nearly being
used up in a similar or worse manner,
when one of the mem seeing his position,
stopped, the horses and extricated him
before he received any injury. _
—The Wingharn Times of last week
says: At a recent public meeting in
this town the council was authorized to
submit another by-law to sink a new salt
well, but after due consideration on the
part of some of the leading spirits it was
concluded first to attempt to raise the
$1,500 by subscription. Accordingly
H. W. C. Meyer, Thornas Gregory and
Reeve Clegg started out to solicit con-
tributions for stock, and the zeal and
energy manifested in the undertaking is
fully exemplified when we state that by
Wednesday evening they had succeeded
in disposing of the entire $1,500 of
stook. The same evening the contract
with Mr. Bell for sinking the well was
signed, and already he has taken steps
to go ahead with the work.

The Stanley Municipal
Embrpglio.
DEAR EXPOSITOR,—There 'has been
considerable talk and eome little discus-
sion through THE EXPOSITOR wit1.1 re-
lation to a. Conservative caucus, known
as the Pat Kelly meeting, held in Varna,
ostensibly, it was alleged, for the pur-
pose of selecting Tory candidates for the
neulicipal council of Stanley. This
Mr. Torrance denies- Now, sir,- Mr.
Torrance, by his awn showing in his last
letter in answer to " Honor Bright," is
a man of exemplary purity of motives.
We will take this for granted. But,
Mr. Torrance also possesses another
most estimable quality even to over-
flowing, and that is " cheek." For, sir,
without a more tha,n ordinary amount of
this commodity he would not have re-
peatedly and persistently tried to cram
a barefaced he down the throats of the
ratepayers of Stanley. Mr. Torrance
may write denials to TEE -ExPosiTon
•
for the next ten year and he will not
find an intelligent ratepayer in the
township of Stanley that will believe
him, simply because the purpose of the
meeting is known to everyone in the
township, and. Mr. Torrance has his own
party to thank for making it known.
Mr. Simpson told me that he was sent
for by the P. Kelly meeting and request-
ed to reign, and the next day after the
meeting Pat Kelly stated that John
Torrance would be elected as Reeve of
Stanley. Pat must either live ob-
tained his information practically, or is
gifted with the spirit of prophecy, as
whet he said certainly came true;.and
be it known further, that at a meeting of
the ratepayers of Stanley, which took
place at Varna previous to the Pat
Kelly meeting, Mr. Torrance, at his own
solicitation, was selected as the Deputy -
Reeve and' Mr. Campbell as Reeve.
. This was the understanding until after
the Pat Kelly meeting, when, of course,
Mr. Torrance had to change front, for,
as he Said himself, he could not , go
against his friends. It appears, Mr.
Editor, that Mr. Torrance is trying to
take shelter behind a prevarication,
from which he expecte; when the breeze
blows past, to issue forth with all the
purity of gold seven times tried in the'
fire. In other words, he is taking ad-
vantage of the informality- of the Pat
Kelly meeting. But who, I ask you
sir, is the man not blinded by party
prejudice who will ever believe that Mr.
Torrance was not to all intents and pur-
poses the Tory nominee and that his
nomination was not the result of the
aforesaid Pat Kelly meeting. Mr. Tor-
rance has laahed himself into a fury of
righteous indignation because "Honor
Bright" did not give his name. Now,
SW, a great many, as well as Mr. Tor-
rance, a -hen they realize that they are
in a tight place, find fault with the
same thing, aud by handling this sub-
iect Mr. Torrance no doubt finds an
easy way of answering pertinent and un-
pleasant questions. There is one part
of Mr, Torrance's letter that I must
give him credit for, and that is, where
he says that he has no sympathy with
anyone that would endeavor to bring
(telt and Tory into municipal matters.
Surely every right-thinking person will
agree with Mr. Torrance in this, fer it
is not only unnecessary, but it is ab-
surd, and it is to b.. regretted that the
municipal elections ef Stanley are too
often *conducted on the party ticket.
But I would like to ask you, sir, who
- drew those party lines. It cannot
reasonably be supposed that it was the
Grit, inasmuch as they have the ma-
jority in Stanley, and the Tories have
always had the monopoly of offices.
No, Mr, its is not the Grits, but Mr.
Torrance and his party. And. allow me
further to state for Mr. Torrance's in-'
formation that, were the Grits to take-
up the gauntlet thrown down every
year by the Tories he would find that,
instead of sitting in our. municipal hall,
he woulcl have to stay at home like a
good boy and do the chores. When
Mr. Torrance declared his want of sym-
pathy, &c., he must surely have for-
gotten Pat Kelly's Varna speech, or,
perhaps, he is out of sympathy with
'Pat. One other remark of Mr. Tor•
rance's I will refer to and then I am
done. He says in giving his judgment
in council matters he will know neither
party. This is a wise reaolution. But
I am afraid, sir, he did not act up to
this golden rule when the question of
appointing a Sehopl Inspector came up
at the County Council, inasmuch as he
pledged himself -privately to several
parties to support Mr. Turnbull, of
Clinton, but when he went to Goderich
the party soon whipped him into line
and he voted for Mr. Toms. The spirit
may be willing but the flesh seems to
be weak. By giving these few remarks
a corner in your valuable paper you will
oblige, yours truly,
A RATEPAYER.

Great Delivery of Brantford
Steel Binders.
. (From the Toronto Globe, February 22nd.)
Mr. Geo. Wettlaufer, local agent for
A. Harris, Son, & Co., Brantford, made
a grand delivery of their celebrated light
steel binders, mowers, etc., at Stratford

mowers, 10 sheaf carriers, and over 10,e
000 Zs. of blue tag standard binding

Four Reasons Why
ROBERTS'
Pleasant Worm Syrup
HAS BECOME A HOUSEHOLD
NECESSITY WITH MOTHERS
OF FAMILIES.
I. Becarise it never fails to remove worms from 1
the system.
II. Because of its perfect harmlessness to the
constitution of the smallest or most delicate
child.
III. Because of its economy, as a bottle in the
house will save many a doctor's visit. '
IV. Special. Because when administering
medicine to young children pleasantness of taste -
should be of an importance, second only to
the efficacy of the preparation, and this syrup is
so made that no child will, refuse to -take- it, so
agreeable and aromatic is its flavor.
Try it and take no other. -
