THE Frunahl EXPOSITOR. 8 [ADVERTISEMENT.] An Open Letter to the Direc- tors of the Ontario Live Stock Insurance Company. GENTLEMEN. —I take this enethod of replying to your letter to me, in order t� place myself right before the public, and to let them see the °principles on which your Company is conducted. In February last I consulted with Mr. M. Y. McLean and Mr. D. D. Wilson, xof this town, as to the advisability of It starting a company. They promised to help me in any waythey could. I then saw a number of prominent stock deal- ers in the West, and efter explaining the matter to them, called the first meeting at Exeter about the end of -February. At this meeting a committee was appointed to further the scheme, and at the first meeting of this com- mittee I was appointed to canvass the Province for stock. When the Statutes of the last session of the Ontario Par- liament were received it was found that another meeting should have been called, at which there must be thirty present, before any stock could be -subscribed. This meeting was called at Clinton about the first of April and the pros- pectus, which then had quite a num- ber of names on it, was adopted and I was appointed along with two others to complete the amount of subscription re- 9nired. I at once started out and vis- ited all the best districts from London on. the West to Kingston and Pembroke on the East, securing more than $4,000 stock and $150,000 insurance. Mean- while the °there appointed with me had secured the remaining $800 stook re- quired, so thatL everything was now - ready fer the appointment of Directors in the fore part of June. A 'meeting for that purpose Was held in Stratford, , at which the Board- of Directors was appointed, with Mr. M. Y. McLean Secretary -Treasurer ad interim. The first meeting of the Board of Directors was held at Seaforth to elect a Presi- dent, Vice -President, Secretary, Treas- urer and Manager. It was confidently expected that Mr. McLean wculd be made permanent Secretary, but now a new party appears on the scene in the person of, John Avery, a man who had - never done the least thing towards or- ganizing the company, and whose only qualification was his conceit in his own ability. He is elected by the infiaence of hit relatives on the board and Mr. McLean gets, by way of compensation, the position of Treasurer. At this meeting I was nominated for Manager by Mr. Bishop, seconded by Mr. Bissett, but here Mr. John Beattie explained that I *as not a fit man for the position, but thtit he would be willing to assume the management. He did not assign any reason for this-, nor would not when asked to do so. The nomination was then withdrawn for the time. A com- mittee was then nominated to drafeby- laws, in which I was included, but Mr. Beattie again objected to me as not be- ing a fit pertns p, but his objection was ever ruled. TMter this it was found ad- visable to have the secretary and trees- trer one person. A meeting was held to consider the matter. At this meet- ing there were piesent eleven legally appointed Directors and one, Blackall,of Clinton, who had- been voted on the Board, but who had not applied for any insure legally qualified according to statute to if ce, and coneequently was not take any part in the proceedings. Twe motions were brought up, one that Avery be Secretary -Treasurer, the other that they advertise for a man. Now, Mr. McMillan, the President, distinct- ly states that he did not vote. For the latter motion Messrs. Idington, Bishop, Wilson, Sorby and Beath voted, which left five; for the. other, Messrs. Innes, Beattie, McIntosh, Evans and Mc- Laughlin, but in order to make a ma- jority Blackall insisted on voting. His vote had never been counted before, and naturally enough the other side object- ed, but Mr. McMillan saw that if this 'vote were ruled out he would be forced to give the casting vote, and so would expose the double game he had been• Playing all along of pretending to be favorable to Mr. McLean, while he real- ly was working for Avery and his relit - ties. Thus Blackall's vote was counted, and therefore J. Avery is not the legally appointed Seoretary-Treaeurer of your Company to -day. When I found out that I was not con- sidered fit to receive a poaition in the 'Conipany, I felt unwilling to give up the prospectus, which I still held, until I had received some security for the ex- penses I had incurred and the time I had lost. Mr. McMillan then came to me and said he would guarantee me the Head Agency, and that I should be paid in full for the time I had lost and my ex- penses. On the strength of this pro- mise I gave up the prospectus, foolishly believing that Mr. McMillan would be a man of his word. I heard nothing more of the matter for some weeks and ac- cordingly I presented the account of my expenses. This was allowed to lie for some months in your office, and now I reeeive a letter from your Honorable Secretary, asking me, "If I have any claihi on your Company !" Well, I leave the public to judge. I have madea plain statement of facts. I challenge you to dis- pute a single one of them. 1 first con- ceived the idea of the Company; I se- cured the bulk (tithe subscribed stock ; I placed $150,000 insurance on the books; I,pereonally canvassed the pro- vincefor reliable men to -take a part in the earlier meetings, and now you ask me whether I have any claim on your Company for my expenses. You add in- sult to injury by branding me with any and every kind of foul-mouthed slan- der 'behind my back, which you dare not say to my face. I might well ask what OM xi those who contrived the double shuffle have on the company which I claim that I was the means of starting. But I can tell the public why this thing hail been taken out of my hands. It .Was because I had no broth- ers-in-law on the Board of Directors, and because one of your number is a public official, and would sell himself body and soul to hold his position at the next election.

His services being so much in demand, we infer he is an ex- pert at the business, performing it very expeditiously no doubt. —The other evening at Atwood a com- plimentary supper was tendered Mr. Robert Knox, the popular Grand Trunk Railway agent at that place, by a num- ber of the residents of .Atwood. A com- plimentary address, was tendered the guest of the etening, to which was ap- pended a number of signatures. The following is a copy of the address: "We, the undersigned, write our names here as an evidence of a pleasant even- ing spent in honor of our -most esteemed friend Mr. Robert Knox, Grand Trunk Railway agent, Atwood. We wish our signatures at the same time to be a standing memento of our appreciation of thecharacter of our guest, knowing him, as we all do, to be a genial, whole -heart- ed, jolly good fellow, and a good friend to the boys. We will long remember his many kindnesses to us.' Mr. Knox is a native of Ayr, in the county of Waterloo, and received his public school education at that place. His many friends and old Schoolmates will rejoice to hear of the good character given him by those best acquainted with him. 111111•111■11.111M1110011111.1111 Local Notices. MR.

Parties sending money to THE Ex- roseeon either for subscriptions or advertising would find, it cheaper and equally 'convenient to send , Money Orders instead of Registered Letters. A Money Order on all sume up to $4 only costs two cents, whereas a Regis- tered Letter, under the new regulations, costs five cents, and the Money Order is safer than the Registered Letter.

MONTREAL, January 6th.—There were about 150 head of butchers' cattle, 50 mutton critters and a sinall calf offered at the East End Abattoir to -day. Trade was slow as the drovers were asking pretty high prices, while the butchers were not needing many cattle. Several sniall lots of good beeves were sold at 41c per pound, and a few were held at higiler .figures. Pretty good stock sold at abeut 4c per pound, and emu - mon dry cows at !rem 8c40 810 per pound. with motile of the leaner beasts at less than 8o per .pound. There were, eeveral fine Hereford cat- tle sold at 4c per pound. Quality considered, prices were higher to -day than for a long time past. Sheep are in good demand at from 4o to 410 per pound, and lambs at about bc per pound. Fat hogs sell at from 4ho to 4/c per pound. TORONTO, January 7th.—The local live stock market was fairly active and steady this morn- ing. The demand was itood and all the pens were cleared. The receipts were 21. loads, in- cluding 73 sheep and lambs and 100 hogs, The demand for cattle was both for local btitchers and for shipment to Montreal. About four loads were sent East. The local demand was no more than satisfied, and a few loads of good cat- tle would probably have sold well at the highest prices paid. The supply of sheep and lambs was small, and the prices were higher. The de- mand was active and all the pens were cleared, at $4.25 to 85.26 each. A lot of 26 lambs of an average weight 01 100 pounds, sold at $4.60 each. A bunch of 26 sheep and lambs of an average weight of 95 pounds, sold at 5.25 each. Hogs.— The market was active and wanted all kinds of 'hogs ; prices ranged from 14 to $4.37; store hogs were in demand at $4.25 each, The receipts last week were :—Cattle, 596; sheep and lambs, 70 ; hogs, 225. EAsr 131TVALO, January 7th. —Cattle—The only offerings were one load and a few odd head, which sold at about former prices, everything being sold yesterday at the close. Sheep and lambs—Receipts of sale stock were only 4 cars and 10 loads held over from yesterday. The mar- ket ruled steady and firm, and all were sold ; good 70 to 80 pound Western lambs brought $6.25 to $6.75; choice 86 pounds, $6.90 ? good Canada lambs, of which only two cars were on sale, ranged from $6.75 to $7 per cwt. Hogs— The receipts of sale hogs were light, only a few lots, but Sully sixty cars held over from Mon; day's arrivals. The market ruled with a good, steady demand for Yorkers, and prices were firm, while medium and heavy were slow and a shade easier. Sales ranged :—Yorkers, good to choice, $3.85 to $3.90, mostly 83.86 ; mixed pack- * Horse Markets. MONTREAL, January 6th,—The receipts of hor- ses via.

Trade continues very dull, all kinds of hor- ses are plentiful and offered cheap but there is no demand.. There are on hand for sale some very fine workers and driven. American buy- ers are expected in next week and a better trade It looked for. Trade has been very dull, bnt few buyers visiting the city and some of them going' away without purchasing any stock on account of the high prices asked. Dealers are paying too high for the class of stock brought to the niarket, and there are horses to -day on sale that have been in the market for at least six weeks, and cannot be sold for any more now than when first °tiered without counting cod of feed and other expenses. The sales at these stables since last report are seven head for $890. There are now on hand for sale forty-eight head of good workers and driyers, with twenty to ar- rive to -night. SALE REGISTER.
