OUTI OBA LETTER.
R MAN
(Froin Our Own Correapondent.)
After the blizzard in politics and
weather that came down on us in the
middle of last month, has come a
"soft snap in both. For a few days
we felt like shaking off our winter
wraps and people were shoveling the
snow off the side walks. We are even
favored with telegrams from Medicine
Hat that an industrious granger up
there was plowing a week ago. The
patriotie gentlemen who labor in this
ssinT every spring or -rather winter to
boom the Hat may perhaps one day be
enjoying a climate where it is a good
deal warmer than 600 even in January.
In politics there has been considerable
el a softening down also. The out-
going party are indeed, with the help
ef• the "old guard," which cannot die
while Sir John lives, trying to make it
hot for Attorney -General Martin at
portage, arid Ei.n't. Howell, the rising
hope of the Conservative party, went
west to do a little spreadeagling for the
good cause, but though they owe Mar-
tin a good deal which they are very
willing to pay 'nwith full interest, it is
hardly probable that they can oust him
unless aided by a few sore heads of his
own party. D. E. Wilson, ex -minister
of works and Hamilton, ex -Attorney -
General, are both prospecting for a new
departure at St. Paul with the intention
of going both out of politics and out of
the couatry, and Norquayism is scarce
ly Inore than the ghost of its former
self, though the late supporters of that
ism may meke by and by a harder fight
than some people now give them credit
for. The man who was adroit enough
to drop Harrison into the hole, when
his own downfall was imminent, and
thus form a bridge over which he might
retreat without suffering the coup de
grace of an adverse vote is still capable
of giving trouble to the Greenway ad-
ministration upon a fitting occasion,
and certainly will not miss his oppor-
tunity. Greeuway is pretty certain
to keep his present position in the next
..„Parliament, whenever that happens to
be eleeted but he may then find as
others heve done before him, in the
same position thet it is easier to grapple
with the avowed enemies that confront
him, than to nateage the rank and file
of the army behind him. Patriotism
wants pickings to keep it alive very
much the same here as it does elsewhere.
wheat. The Ontario millers ism buying
all the clean wheat they anget hold of,
and are more particular about thet than
the grading by the inspitor. Clean
wheat grown anywhere here makes
choice flour, even though only graded
" spring wheat" and sense have )ought,
and been well satisfied with, *beat that
through the pressure of• a few frosted
grains caught no grade at all; from the
Inspector. Much of our wheat is being
now sent to England hy way of BoSton,
and finding favor everywhere.
The new administration is doing two,
very wise things. They are getting a
list of all the vacant lands in the pro-
vince and of their owners, • as a step to
organize means • for their sale and
settlement. And the Attorney -General
has intimated to the civil servants of
the province, that men among them,
earning good salaries, are making their
position a screen against the payment
of their lawful debts. This, he says, is
a discredit to both themselves and the
country, and plainly intimates that
instead of being screened they are pretty
certain to be bounced. A, few more
moves of this sort will give strength to
the pretensions of the Reform party,
and win for them the approval of all
honest men. The most contemptible of,
all " beats " is the man who, earning a
good income, aims at paying as little as
he can to his tradesmen, and we have a
good few of that sort here:—W.
Horse Pedigrees.
DEAR EXPOSITOR.—In your last issue
a letter appears over the Signature of
" A Farmer asking information from
the Dominion Draught Horse Breeders'
Society as to whether or not the pro-
geny of his horse is eligible for registra-
tion in the Dominion Stud Book &e.
A man of good sense, wishing for the in-
formation asked for and having no ul-
terior motives, would have signed his
name to his letter, if indeed he had not
chcsen the better way of writig to the
President or Secretary. I am under
the necessity of concluding that the
gentlninan has a. motive beyond the
apparent one. To impugn his good
sense would perhaps hurt his feelings
and this I have no desire to do, so I will
answer him cautiousle, as follows
If you can prove that. your horse has
the breeding that you claim he has, he
may be registered in the Canadian
Clydesdale Stud Book, and so be-
come an ' accepted sire under the
rules of the 'Dominion Society. As
to the question whether or not your
horse is as good as the get of a Canadian
bred, pure Clydesdale stallion crossed
with a Shire mare, this is a question, I
think, on which men may; reasonably
differ in opinion. After yoti have trayeled him for a year or two, you will be
able to answer the question yourself, as
the patronage you get will fairly repre-
sent what is the general opinion of
breeders. My own opinion in that
your horse would not be so valuable
as a stock horse, as the horse bred
from a long line of pure Clydesdales
on the side of his sire and frona a, Shire
mare. My opinion rests on the well-
known fact that many of the best
draught horses the world has seen were
so bred. I regard the Clydesdale and
Shire . as substantially the same breed.
There is no more difference between
them than between individuals of either
breed. The Scotch breeders have aimed
to produce a horse with a greater slope of
shoulders with its consequent greater
slope of pastern. The Eoglish breeders
have recognized the wisdom of
the Scotch breeders in thus breed-
ing the more oblique shoulder and
have for many years been following
closely after che Scotch standard, NOith
manifest advantage. It is observed
that upright pasterns go with "upright
shoulders, and that a horse of this con-
formation is much more liable to have
Bide bones than is the horse with slop-
ing pasterns. Such has been the suc-
cess of English breeders that the Shire
horse is to -day as free from sidebones as
is any other horse of equal weight. I
meet few men who pretend to be able
to distinguish between the Shire of to-
day and the Clyde, and of the few not
one, I believe, can certainly distinguish
between the two so called breeds. These
are some of the reasons that lead me to
believe that a horse bred from Ei clam of
four pure Clydesdale erosses will not
have the characteristics of a breeding
horse in ecinal degree with one bred
from a pure Clyde stallion and a Shire
mare. Not having "a farmer's" letter
before me 1, may not have fully answer-
ed all his ghestions, but I hope he will
be able to gather from tely remarks what
will do him. I close with the hope that
his enquiries will lead lam to become a
member of our very eseful society.
Yours truly, one who assisted in making
the standard,
SAMUEL SM1LLIE.
THE EVENT OF THE Horn
is the victory achieved by our curlers
at the St. Paul Carnival. We have two
clubs, the Thistle and the Granite and
constant practice makes them • ugly
customers to tackle on any ice. The
Granites are mainly drawn from the
south end of the city and Harry Came-
ron, a young man who may not be
Quite u.nknown to you, is their Secre-
tary, s well as a pretty effective mem-
ber. After every American rink but
one had been scooped in the first day's
tussle, the u beeten Granites were
drawn to knock out each other. McCul-
loch, of St. Paul, the skip of the last out-
standing rink of America made a strong
and uphill tighnonly securing a. chance in
the final by a wonderfully ,good shot in
the last end. In fthe last tie of all, he
was beaten by a erack Winnipeg rink
and earned a well -merited second prize.
Lorimer, the most - formidable of the
Americap •party, was knocked out on
the first rotted by a rink from Portage
la Prairie, and McCulloch's desperate
stand against so able opponents is
worthy of note. In the " points "
competition five out of six of the highest
honors came to Manitoba, Wood, of
Chicago, being the American representa-
tive and making third place. The first
prize in the East vs. West competition
also went to McKechnie, of Winnipeg.
The aggregate result was that 14 out of
16 prizes,including all the firsts, came to
Manitoba, St. Paul making a second,
and Chicago a third. The Americans
are a little stiff over such a lot of defeats
and aver that we live half the yeer on
ice which is the secret of our superiority
in curling.
THE GRAIN BLOCKADE.
Our hie crop is causing a good deal
of bad blood between the Board of Trade
and the Canadian Pacific Railway. The
company have already hauled equal to
7,000,000 bushels of wheat and are
getting more overloaded with freight
than ever. rhe western division was
sending along far more ears than the
section north of Lake Superior could get
away with, and the snow storm of the
first week of January aggravated the
difficulty. The same storm did com-
paratively little to hinder teaming here
and the last week of fine weather has
brought in so much wheat that cars
cannot be provided to take half of it
away. I saw at a country station men
waiting with their loads till a late train
came in with cars, and. loading them up
by midniglat that the same train going
out early next morning might clear them
off, and hundreds of bags, covered' with
snow, could be seen piled np in the
streets and around elevators, where, in
some cases, they have lain for a fort-
night. This state of matters would
partially be got over, but last night we
had a drop to 460 below zero at the
most sheltered spot in the city and
three engines were froze dead between
this and Port Arthur. This is the
coldest " snap" we have had for ten
years and it becomes almost impossible
to keep the engine from. freezing even
when drawing half a load, as the frost
makes wheels almost a dead lock.
VHF. BOARD OF TRADE.
Composed of our best business men,
is kicking with all their might against
this state of things. No one blames the
working management, they are doing
wonders with the force at their com-
mand in the face of an extra. severe
winter. But there is a spirit of bitter,
hostility, growing more bitter everyday,
against the political management that
maintains in its integrity the position
of the large and powerful corporation
that will neither do the work itself nor
permit any one else to touch it. It
is an unpleasant outlook, altogether,
for those, who, like myself, desire most
of all to see a rising and prosperous
community built up, with a clue regard
to the just claims of the farmers and
business men, and the fair claims of the
railroad, if we knew exactly what these
claims are. The party of compromise,
which wants to bridge over the gulf,
are about the least valued of our pro-
fessed. friends at the present moment,
and we will have little peace for mouths
over this painful difficulty.
There are a good few points from
which only one half of our big crop have
been moved out, and it is plain that a
syltetn of elevators, both in the coun-
try and at Port Arthur, must be got up,
that will both store and clean our
ence of the proprietors, who run a large
lumber business in the Burg.
The water in the St. Clair River, from
some mysterious cense, lowered 6 inches
in the week ending on the 18th. This
unprecedented fall is reported to be com-
mon throughout the whole lake system.
Stag Island, in the river, seven miles
below Sarnia, is to be converted into a
summer resort. It contains 2000 acres
of high and dry land. A company has
been formed and plans are being pre-
paied for a $60,000 hotel with the
usual drives and walks, &c. It is pro-
posed to run a line of excursion boats
from Sarnia and Port Huron.
Among the other exports we notice
Essex sent 901,000 bushels of charcoal
to Detroit iron works for the production
of charcoal iron.

—Messrs. J. & J. Livingstone, of the

—Mr. J. Me -Scott of the Royal hotel,
Mitchell, has removed to Stratford to
assume charge of the Royal hotel there,
and Mr. G. Finley, formerly bar tend-
er at the Hick's House, has assumed the
management of the Royal.
I —Rev. W. Burgess, who has been
pastor of the Congregational church at
Listowel for the past two and a half
years, severs his connection with that
church on the 1st of April next, his
resignation having been reluctantly 'ac-
cepted at a recent meeting of the mem-
bers and adherents of the church.
—Mr. Alex. Hart, a farmer, of North
Easthope, was found in his stable on
Saturday, llth inst., in a sadly crushed
condition. He had been kicked and
knocked down by a horse and then
trampled on, suffering a fracture of sev-
eral ribs and other injuries. It was
feared he was injured fatally but the
latest news is hopeful as to his recovery.
—Mrs. Alex. Matheson, from near
Harrington, met with a very painful ac-
cident a few days ago, while driving to
Strie ford to see her brother, who is ill.
She met a load of cordwood, and turned
out with her cutter to pass, when the
rig upset, throwing her out with her
face against the wood rack. This black-
ened her eyes and cut her face terribly.
The man drove on and did not as much
as ask her if she was hurt.
—A very mean and cowardly act was
perpetrated one night recently, on the
farm of Mr. John Donelly, near Dublin.
Some thief or thieves entered an out-
building in which Mr. Donelly had all
his summer supply of meat stored away,
and carried off about $20 worth of pork.
The people in that neighborhood think
it is time something was done to put a
stop to such depredations, as this is the
third time such a thing has occurred.
—There appears now to be no pros-
pect of a settlement between Messrs.
Kidd, of Dublin, and their creditors.
The former offered 50;cents on the dollar,
at 18 months, with good security, but
the latter would not take less than 60
cents. The stock is now to be jobbed
off, and the chattels come under the auc-
tioneer's hammer on the 27th inst. Mr.
George Kidd talks of going to British
Columbia.
—One day recently a young man in
the employ of Mr. Clark, making ties on
the 10th concession, Elma, split his foot
the full length of a chopping axe. His
Icomrades rolled him up in blankets, put
lhim on a lumber sled and had him in Dr.
Hamilton's surgery in 15 minutes after
the accident happened. The young man
after having his injuries attended to was
removed to his home, and is now doing
well.
—John Wilson, of Atwood, had a nar-
row escape from drowning one day late-
ly. He went to water his team at a hole
in the Maitland river, when the ice gave
way and he went down. In his frantic
efforts to get out he dislocated his arm,
and only for the presence of mind of a
lad who caught him by the clothing he
would have been taken under. The
water was 7 feet deep at the spot. He
had to go nearly a mile to the nearest
house, and almost perished from cold.
1Dr. Hamilton attended to his injuries.
—It is very seldom, indeed, that we
hear of a farmor getting in the toils so
far as to be compelled to make an as-
signment for the benefit of their credi-
tors. The community of Mitchell and
vicinity, however, were greatly startled
last week to hear that Messrs. John and
Henry Watson, of Hibbert, had made an
assignment of all their effects to Sheriff
Flossie. Rumor has it that the liabili-
ties figure up to nearly $20,000, and
that money had been borrowed by every
means and from almost everybody, and
that slims had been applied for and some
of them obtained up to the very day the
assignment was made. Among those
frclin whom the Messrs. Watson have
borrowed money on notes or otherwise,
and who will lose by the crash, are :—

—A libel suit was tried before Police
Magistrate O'Leary at Stratford on Mon-
day between Mr. Davis, of the Mitchell
Advocate, and Mr. Race., of the
Recorder. These two papers have been
from time immemorial at war with each
other, and a couple of weeks ago the
Advocate published a very strong article
concerning the opposition sheet. It was
responded to in the Recorder of the fol-
lowing week in a very scathing article,
in which Mr. Davis was characterised as
a thief, liar, scoundrel and almost every-
thing else that was vile. An action for
libel was immediately brought by Mr.
Davis. Mr. Race was discharged until
the assizes, bail being taken for his re-
appearance.

DEAR EXPOSITOR.—The present style
of Commercial Union received a severe
shock this morning as the thaw has
struck- us in earnest,1making nature's
bridge over the St. Clair is little unsafe
for crossing, but we have had almostun-
broken sleighing since New Year,though
never having more than 6 inches of snow,
and the mill -owners are going around
wearing an elongated smile on account
• of the large amount of lngs that have
been banked this season. ' I stated in a
letter a short time ago that the value of
our timber business for the laFst six years
averaged over half a million (rollers, and
this year the piles on the batiks are more
than in any one year of the previous six,
so we are in for the distribution of a
little more than the usual pile of gold -
dust, asithe prices this year are up to
former years and some of them a little
in advances especially walnut, a Detroit
buyer offering $90 per thousand feet in
the log.
Mining the winter there has been some
"tall drawing" done here, and although
Huron -it' admitted t8 have as fine horses
as there are in the Province, I think few
will beatthe, drawing record of a team
in Chatham township. The , largest
load was three elm logs which aggregat-
ed i74456 ifeet, and their next load had
4,46/2 feet. The loads were • hauled a
distance of about four miles. The pres-
ent thaw will disuse hundreds of men
and teams to leave phd shanties as the
sleighing is entirely gone and Very little
if any more is expected this season.
Wages have been 'very good, a man and
team getting from $2.25 to $2.75 and
