To The Huron Expositone-In look- ing 'oyer the Expositor of last week noticed a partial account of the - Battle of Goderich in 1866. As there ' are few alive to -day who wi1i re. - member much about that incident it has called to my min& the little part 1 played in connection with the said battle. Thel country was/ beceming fully armed and recruits were com- ing in from the interior of the town- ships of Hey and Stanley. to the lake shorenlooking for the Fenians, Some were armed with guns and rites and some with axes or heavy dubs. One day a bunch of strapping fellows 'came out from the front, (as it Was then ealled,) to -day we Would call it the vicinity of Hensel], in, Hay town- sbip. There were David Dick, James Dia, William Buchanan and five oe six others. They had Walked from home to Drysdale's cornett, as it was then called, a distance of about -twelve miles. They were both ' tired and hungry, and they put up at our place for refreshinents and rest. As their were no Fenians in sight at Drysdale's 'corners -they thought they had better push on to Bayfield, a distance of eight miles more. It was a -long dis- tance Or tired men and as there was no conveyance handy they thought they were up agaitett hard luck, but my mother had an old liotse and light wagon, and I myself, *(a' chtuik of a boy,) was comMissioned to take the party to Bayfield, -wheret it was ex- pected the Fenians would land, . r t R.

MR. McMILL WS REPLY The Editor, the Farmers' SM1:—I trust you will gine this reply the same prominence in your columns which in your last issue you gave the following: "Thontas McMillan had eye on Opposition Leadership." there 'is no truth in that report. No one had any sanction or authority from me to place nir name in nomina- tion for the Libe al Leadership. r was not present at the Liberal Con- vention. 1 was no unwell. I dis- `eapraged every approach made to me re the Liberal Leatersbip. I did not know my name w uld be offered in nomination., ner 014 it had .been so -offered, until 1 no eed the report in the same press, whoae veracity you have continuously uestioned through the , eolumne, of tie Farmers,' Sun. Wily, through infermaten from such a source you, should thus so wantonly attack me, when t e truth could have been eanny ascertined through the medium of a postal, I am at a. hiss to - understand; and m re particularly so when the manager of our own Farmers* Publishm. g Company knew input my owdlips that I had disenuraged these approaebee - Apparently the old aIagi is still true--" a man is not wtbout honor, save in his own ountry andmore particularly among t his own kind." You say, U1 am apparently still a Liberal of the Libe als," the implica- tion being that a nan cannot consist- ently be a member f the U. F. 0, and a Liberal. DidyoU ever pause to 'consider the meanirig of Liberalism?, Liberalism in politics, according to my acceptance of the terrn, is a vital, liv- ing principle of aet ou,whichprstandass for liberty, justice, quality, ogre and fair play to e, ery cetezen. No matter who may terresh the name (and it has been much tarnished in the petty political life I of Canada) the 1 principle of action still shines: By the way did it even strike you that this is the very principle of action for which the U. F. 0. stand. The U. F. O. platform., tands for equal rights to every eitiZen and special • •• privileges to none; and the gloxy of that platfarm is, that ittasksinoneecial favors for the farming class,..but de- mands equal opporttruitY to eVtry! cit- izen. Then, where that ia4anshitenete? Whence the conniction - Of -Principle?

' A PECULIAR COliRT.CASE A case of peculiar inter* was .heard by Judge Dickson in the County Judge's Criminal Court last- week. Miss Margaret Pollocktnneelines With' her brother in Morris4otintehire near Blyth, was charged unfitien section of the criminal •code whih„eleitlit with fortune telling- and . Iditdreds practices. Miss Pollock has fort -0P*** had a reputation as a clairvoyane- or spirit - medium, but the patnetelar ease On which she was charged was an out- come of the theft of seine grain from a Brodliageri farmer, The farmer and a friend went to Miss Pollock to see if she could assist them in discovering the culprit. She gave an *curate description of the premises frelti which die grain had been stolen and event on to describe the thief and. his outfit, with such particularity that when the men returned home and: reported the result of their trip .the whole CQM- 21/1MitY was set by the ears. The defendant in her evidence gave moat interesting insight into an extraordinary mentality. She claimed to have the power or faculty of COM-, intutication with departed, spinite From her obildhood, she hid, she had had this pewer_ and for -,time she tent*eitir#, that ii e a a41) et sieez 'was different from other, people, but at length she discovered that other people had nolnowledge of the spirit world such as she possessed. For years her assistance had been sought by people with problems of one kind and another. and although she did not make a charge in such cases she ac- cepted a "gratuity.” • Mrs. Sinclair. wife of Mr. W. M. Sinclair, barrister, of Brussels, was a witness for the defence and told of going to Miss Pollock to procure her assistance in recovering a lost ring, a, Valuable diamond ring which had been given to her by her mother. Miss Pollock, said the witness, described her (vvitneeen :mother and also the Sin- clair' home and gave her such advice as resulted in her °recovering the ring. The case was argued on Monday, Crown -Attorney Seeger for the prose- cution and Mr, - Charles Garrow for the defence. .i', -Ir, Seeger went into the history of the law dealing :with fortune tellers, .from the time -wheh they were looked upon as witches and were put to death, up to the present time, when their practices were still regarded as dangerous to the public welfare. He argued that tinder the law it is criminal to - "pretend" to possess such powers as those claimed by the defendant. Mr. Garrow claimed that there had been no evidence to show that his client had on any occasion told anything that was not the truth, and no matter how she came by the information it could not be criminal to tell the truth. Honor directed a conviction, but deferred sentence, and in the mean- time a "stated case" is to be submitted to a higher court by counsel for the 'defence.

The. birthday of the congregation, however, elates back- to 1867, when Rey. William. Murphy opene•d servieee andnorgemized the congregation. Soon, plans were begun for a new chureb and though the congregation was small, their zeal was, unbounded and the first church, dedicated to nt. Paul was indeed a fine structure and does credit to the earn- eatness and zeal of those early pioneers. Mr. Murphy continued reetor until 1871 and the church grew stead- ily in strength. From Wingharn as a centre, he went afield and tinder him churches of Brussels, Blyth and Luck - now had their beginning, In. 1872 he was sueceeded by _ Rev, William Davis, who is well remembered by many of the present congregation.
