Mrs. Feagan and her husband were early settlers upon a once leading road through the• centre of Wawanosh, and many of the first settlers ean testify to her kindly and hospita- ble nature, as her house was always open and every service which she could bestow- was cheerfully afforded without even the expectation of recompense. Yrs. Feagan gained the entire respectsof aJ1 who knew her, by her quiet, unas- suming manner, and her sincere desire to promote peace and harmony amongst all around her. -The Exeter Times of last week says: Last evening, Mr. N. J. Clark and fam- ily left for Butte City, California. On the eve of his departure, Mr. Clark was waited upon by a, number of his friends from Usborne and presented with a handsome present, accompanied with heartfelt expressions of regret at his de- parture and good wishes for his future welfare in the sunny west. The Misses Clark were also •the recipients of some nice presents from their many lady friends in the village. Mr. Clark has been clerk of Usborne township for ten years, also secretary -manager of the. Usborne and Hibbert Fire Insurance Company since its organization, and was instru- mental in establishing for the company a good business. He kept a general store at Farquhar for a number of years, and after retiring from business removed to Exeter, where he has lived for nearly two years a He and his family, who are held in the highest esteem, carry with them the best wishes of their numerous friends, who very much regrettheir de- parture. -The Goderieh Signal of last week says: Thos. and Wm. Stoddard, from Watipau, Wisconsin, old residents of Colborne, who are on their way to the old country, irisited their sister, Mrs. Morris, and other relatives io this sec - time last week. It is thirty years since they left Canada and took up their resi- dence in the States. They were ac: companied by neighbor § of theirs, Wm. Inglis and Robt. Bogie, drover, another old Colborne boy. The first three are shouting Democrats and strong Knights of Labor -advocates, and the latter is a Republican, and not so much in sym- pathy with the Knights, but all agree in the abolition of second chambers, in home rule for States, Provinces and de- pendencies, and in the fact that Glad- stone is the greatest statesman the world has ever seen. A night with the Ameri- can -Canadians would . open the eyes of the most hide -bound Tory- that ever lived. Mr. Inglis wants to go to Scot- land, where he was born, and see the estate on which he was bred. Apropos of his visit to Auld Reekie he gives. the cause of his coming to America. When a young man he owned the finest collie in the seetion, and the landlord being jealous of the ownership of so fine a dog by a tenant, ordered the animal to be shot. The killing ofsthe poor animal, so disgusted Inglis that be made ' up his mind he would not live in a country where such arbitrary and tyrannical prover was in the hands of the land- lords. He came to America and has - largely prospered, and he is now going back to stand side by side with the owner of the estate, as a man and equal, -without being ashamed of the fact that he was once a poor despised tenant who dared not own a dog. • ellIMMIMIIIMS7 A Voice from Algoma. DAT's Mitts, March, 24th, 1886. DEAR EXPOSITOR, --Your • paper comes to us every week away in the backwoods of Algoma, and a welcome visitor it is to a great many here, as it brings , good news from the dear old home, as well as interesting tidings from distant lands of Sunny Skies, Manitoba, Michi- gan and elsewhere.. It has also occurred to me that a few words Concerning this portico of Her Majesty's heritage might be .of interest to some of your readers, as I believe there is not nearly as much known of this country as there should be. Although we are all frozen in from the outside world, here a portion of the year, business goes on and industries flourish; and people live and some of them prosper as well as in the more highly favored and privileged districts. The principal industry here in the win- ter is lumbering,and a very iMports,nt one it, is for this gauntry. Many of your readers would be .surprised if they were to seethemasses of saw togs and timber- which line the banks of the rivers in this country -awaiting the advent Of spring to be floated down to the mills as soon as the ice hreaka up. It is estimat- ed that twelve million feet_ oftimber and saw iogs will be floated down the MissiSsaugua river this spring, and there are a -good many Other streamsin this district which are utilised similarly to this one. You wilI therefore see that the shanties have been busy -scenes of in- dustry during the past winter. I Most of the shanties employ from 50 to 70 men. The lumbermen are taking the pine out of this country very fast, although it will take years yet to complete their limits.. There .is lots -of work for both man and beast; and if any go without employment here it is because they are not willing to Work.- Horses are very scarce in this country, and every one this fit for the woods is made to do y. A team of horses will men $1.50 per day and fee&. and men receive $1.8:a Month and board. :The old. lumbermen., who have followed the woods- for years, think it is very hard times when they have to work for $18 per month; as some two or three years ago wageswere from $26 to $35 per month, and men scarce at that, but times pre changed now. Hun - Areas of aettlers have come in within the last two years, and ,sorne of them have to go out and work in the winter to earn something to help keep house, and it is fortunate for them that they can get work, as the clearance on the. farm is small and money scarce. . Since I came here, two years age, an immense number of settlers. have Come in, and many of them are from the coun- ties of Huron and Bruce, and there is a great deal more land taken up by parties who aro now , waiting until spring to come and settle on it. Ile land. along the Mississaugua river is all. thickly settled with people of an classes and denominations, and an are doing well. Ask any of these settlers how they are getting along and they will reply: Oh, first rate; times are brisk - and. everything we have to sell brings a good price." You see we cannot raise. enough to supply the home demands, and the lumbering shanties will con- sume all„ and a great deal more than we can raise, and pay high prices for it, so that those whaare so fortunate as to have produce to sell do well. A neweettler coming in. would be apt to think this a • rough cotintry, but those who have been here awhile are quite contented, and I have never, seen one who would care to exchange hiss present situation kr that -he occupied before .Coming here. There is lots of good land here which is fit for settlement, and there is some. which is rocky and never will be settled on, but this latter is whete the pine and other most valuable timber grows. In the townships of Wells and Parkinson" there are large tracts of land timbered with hardwood, such as maple, birch, tamarac-and cedar, and here and there a pine. This land, where the hard. wood grows, is a rich clay_loarn, and some ,of it very heavy. There are other tracts again, of pine lands, which are light and sandy. There Was a new township surveyed' last sunnier, in which there is it lot of good hard -wood land, and there are no settleris in it yet. All around on my trav- els I notice good clearances, and large fellows coming down, which shows that the people are prospering. We have Men here from Manitoba who like it better than in that country. They say we have timber here to keep us warm; which the settlers in Manitoba have not. The Government are putting main roads all through this country, and they are going to builld a bridge across the river this summei at a cost of $10,000. It is to be of iron, and is to re -place the wooden one that was carried off last spring. There is also considerable talk of a railroad which it is said will be commenced next surruner. This also 'would be a great boon to the settlers. Th conclusion I would say to young men in search of land, Who are able and willing to work, this is the place for them. The land only costs 20 cents an acre, and if they do not wish to settle 'on it at once they can get plenty of work to do at fair wages. Wm. Woonaow, Formerly of Bluevale. Mr. McMordie Criticised. Mn. EDITOR, -DEAR SIR, -The first thing Mr. McMordie should have done was to define what over -feeding is, and then look for a remedy 'e the course pursued by medical men is'first to make a diagnosis, and. then apply the proper remedies. Now it strikes me that if judges were ordered to withold prizes from over -fed animals there would be found to be a good deal of difference of opinicai as to what constituted over- feeding, what one man would term an over -fed animal another might not. Let us suppose that two horses enter the show -ring, one is much fatter than the other. Now, Mr. McMordie would give the lean horse the prize, and yet, in the sense in which he uses the term the lean horse is the more over -fed of the two. The fat horse has been kept in a roomy, well ventilated, well lighted, well drained apartment ; he has had regular and sufficient exercise.; his food has been of the very best quality, not all of the fat -forming kind, but the fat - forming and the muscle -forming ju- diciously combined ; the fattening has not been done in a few weeks but has extended over a considerablelength of time, so that not a single function has been interfered with. Now, the fat which is on the thinner horse may have been put on in a few weeks by the "stuffing and doctoring" process; he has .had little or no exercise ;Ale is kept in a close, dark stall, where every par- ticle of air he breathes is impregnated by the poisonous gasses emanating from the decomposing organic matter beneath him. NoW, I ask, which Of the two horees would have the soundest consti- tution? which would be most likely to have his procreative power diminished? which would he most likely to transmit to his progeny an enfeebled constitu- tion.? Surely the latter. Mr. McMor- die blames " over -feeding " for the large death rate amongst foals. Now, are there any statistics to bear out this statement? I think not; this is a ground on which we ought to tread very carefully. Our county has achieved an almost World-wide celebrity for its horses ; such statements will assuredly - detract largely from our good name in this respect, and, again, it will injure those individuals who have "dared the -dangers of the deep" and risked their all in building up that reputation which is the means of drawing thousands of dollars within our borders every year. The cause of the numerous deaths among foals I may discuss at another time: A. M.: CAMPBELL. Stanley, March 30, 1886. Sir John Macdonald's Hettith. The Ottawa Citizen of Wednesday last says: Statements regarding Sir John Macdonald's condition are not so satisfactory as some days ago. From two distinct sburces information has been received which, if correct, indicates that grave apprehensions exist regarding Sir John's ultimate recovery. It is said that Sir John's trouble is not sciatica as at first aupposed, but that the pains of whieh % he com- plains are caused by a derange- ment of the kidneys, they pres- sing upon the spine. It. is stated, also that lithic acid has been forming in his system, and that physicians fear that dropsy may follow. The treatment of the disease is now being carried on by: local physicians, who are constantly in communication with Dr. Howard of Montreal. It is hoped that notwith- standing Sir John's advanced years, the efforts being put forth may be suc- cessful. LATER. Since the above was in type we notice that Sir Hector Langevin- read the fol- lowing letter in the House of Commons on Wednesday, from Dr. Powell, attend- ing Sir John Macdonald : -" In reply to your inquiries I may say that SinJohn's physical condition is remarkably good, and though his local symptoms have been Very obstinate, yet they are now undergoing a rapid change for the better, and I look forward to his complete convalescence at an early day." This, announcement was received with hearty applause on both sides of the House. • ---The Stratford Beacon of the 2nd inst. says : We are sorry to have to announce this week the death of Wm. Huxley, who has been a resident of Stratford for a few years, and last year built a handsome residence on Cambria street. He had been ill during the greater part of the winter, but had re- covered sufficiently to enable him to visit, friends in Norwich on Saturday. The fatigue of the journey must have been too great for him, for he died there on Wednesday morning'and was buried there yesterday. Mr. Huxley resided for a number of years at Fullarton Cor- ners, where he successfully conducted a cheese faetory. He was last summer employed by Mr. Thomas Ballantyne, M. P. P., in purchasing cheese, and in that capacity enjoyed the confidence of his employer and the respect Of every- body with whom he came in ;contact. He was a careful business man and a good citizen whose untimely .death will be regretted by all who knew him and be a loss to the community. n He leaves a wife and four daughters. • His age was 48. n -S -1111n1•111111.111 Perth Items.

IMPORTANT ANS'OXINCFMENT TO PATRONS :-AN the season of the year is approaching when th0 1 - fa.riner is in e quandary to know what to do with his sows, support a Cheese Factory, Creamery or raise calves. A word of advice to those in- tending to send to the above factory may be in Vine. Firnt.-Tht Directors are Alex. Kerr, Finlay Ross and Stephen Godwinnand tile maker, George E. Leech, whose names are a sufficient guarantet to Patrons to get good Cheese and fair dealing.' Secondla.-They are putting in new presses and vats in the factory, and making this season ior two and three-eighths emits pet pound, which is cheaper than ever before. And as we arways took as small a quantity of milk tia a pound of cheese as most of the factories in Ontario, We think with the improvement thin year to be able to ( o still better. Thirdly.--Ilin factory starts on the 17th of May, so as to giant Patrons a chance to raise their calves, and haat?, them five on six weeks old at the thne of start- ing, and what milk is fed during that tune should be given three times a day instead of twice a day as is customary. A small onantity of ground Oil Cake and peas or barley meal with vernal water twice a day afterwards,will produce better calves in the fall than if I( don milk alone. And starting the 17th of May, leaving 144 days for sending to the factory -until the 1st of November - And if cows are fed so as to average 25 pound* of milk per day for that thne, at 8 cents per 10 pounds of milk, would be $28.80 in the season, or 20 cents a day per cow'but if cheese Antal only average 7 cents per 10 pounds of milk, it would be 25.20 per season, or 17 cents per day for cow. A eow averaging three-quarters of -n pound of butter a day would be 10s pounds butter in the same time, of course a cow wi2 average more butter in Ma a and June, and less in the fall. And one thing shown at the tests in London and Toronto last fall,v:as that the longer a time after the cow calving to the time of test- ing the less butter and the more in proportioa to the quantity of milk. Fourth. -No Polyp! will be allowed to start after the first week In June, nor allowed to stop until the factory closet! in the fall, without leave of the Directors in both cases, and those only sending three month) ar less, will be charged at the rate of threie cents per pound. Patrons will put money ih their own pockets by making preparations in the spring for green feed of some kind for Jul and August, when they are likely to be scarce fol pasture. To those who have not patronized! the factory since coining into the bands of the Company, we inight ntate we pay the full Yalu" of milk sent at each sale by cheek on banli, an send a statement of quantity of milk receivea and price sold for, and price per 10 pounds a milk, so any person can understand, and all mill - takes will be rectified it shown to exist. Thy locality around Winthrop is the best adapted fx. pasture of any in Huron, on account of being well watered and level, and growing Whiteeloviztr abundantly. I And the cheese of Canada pro- duces more money than the wheat, and a sin" crop if the cows are only fed. We invite every farmer to become a Patron and Shareholdeta And the latent probabilities are that wheat an Eggs will be cheap. JOHN C. MORRISON, Secretary and Treasurer.
