Queaticz ef Veracity - The Earaclon correapcmdent, of the Gea,e stated in a recent letter that in a canv icraatisz with Mr. Potter, the Preal- b 6.ent of the Gzrand Trunk,vem was in Can- w rsika timing the elentions last-. summer, 1 that gentleman,ned szaten as follows : Mieropretintiriz Pacts. Our towncontemporaryis very fond of accusing us of misrepresenting facts, and offers the advice "that we should post ourselves before doing so," We will set our statements against his at any time, but the best of it is thigt in his last issue ho offers tho abswe advice and in doing so gives utterance to a gross mis-statement, nay, even an untruth. He 83Vit that the expenses of the Chicora trip were put down to colonizetion roads, by 31r. Blake's consent, on the Public Aceonnts Committee. It is a malicious falsehood. Mr. Blake never consented to anything of the Lind. Tho firet inti- mation he had of it was when he saw the statement in the papers the other day, and he immediately telegraphed from Ottawa -that he had never consented to apy such thing. gnehe other critieisins of our cotem. are just as unfounded. But we aro not inclinen to bandy words with him. We are not in the habit of making state- ments without being pretty cenfident they are correct, and thougb we may occasionally be misled, we are satisfied our assertions - ill be found as a rule ni accurate than his. Tho ! Thureday lest Hon. Mr. McKellar in his place in the House entered into a full explanation of his connection win. the Elgin Assoeietion, which has been nia.le the groundwork of very serious charges against that gentleman. The charges were first made a considerable tinne wee, 1,1:: he did. not see fit to reply to nlisn: till he had an the necessary lecene s refute them once and for- ever. Tee cherees have been re -iter- ated tine: and again through e-yery Tory /leder in the country till the public were sick of hearing them. Mr. McKellar having now made his explanations and • succeeded in fully vindicating his char- acter to the esatisfaction of every un- prejudiced mind, wa trust we have heard the last of them. We are unable to find room for Mr. McKellar's explana- tions this week bet will do so in next issue. Contostod. Seats - As we conjectured, the petition against the retnrn of Mr. Horton for Centre uron was got np as a set off against that of Mr. Farrow for the NorthRiding, This is shown by the offer of the Tories to withdraw it if the Reform party will withdraw that against Mr. Farrow. Of course this compromise will not be ac- cepted by the .Reformers, especially as the petition against Mr. Horton is Clear- ly informal, and nen doubtless be thrown out, even though the Speaker has shown himself to be a thorough partiaan and prepared to go almost any length in the cause of his masters. Thus Winiani Donaghy and Giffard Elliott, the petitioners, will ntiss the trip they expected to Ottawa at somebody else's expense. Bacr.ing Down. The Dominion Gocernment, seeing their uncertain tenure of office, are pre- pared to "laack down" from their former powtion to any extent, rather than be turned out of prerer. They have allow- ed Mr. Mills' Deal Representation bill to pass its second reading. They have cpposeel it with all their might for the last five years, and would have done so now bat that aEter a thorough can vass of their supporters they found it would be useless. They have alsotreluctantly consented to narrow the gnage of the Intercolonial Railway, which the opposi- tion have all along contended for. , - Uinta Drill. We annotine.ed some time ago that there would probably be no brigade camps this year. Tbis supposition is now confirmed. The plan of the Militia Department eor the annual drill is that corps situated_a towns and cities will per- form eight days. drill during the evening Rural battalions will muster at local headquarters and Put in their eight days' drill. No rations will be allowed. The men will simply receive at the end of the drill erg. It is estimated that the saving by this seherne is over .n600,000. rnivorsit7 Boat -Baca.

The course was the usual one dti the Thames, and was four miles and a quarter in length. The time of the race was 20 minutes and 35 seconds. The day was delightful and the race was witnessed by an immense C0/100Ene. Postal Emulations.

Tho Members for Enron on the Mu- nicipal Loan Fund. During the debate on the Municipal Loan Fund, Messrs. Gibbons and Gib- son spoke as follows, as rtiported in the Globe :— Mr. Gibbons protested against the in- accuracy of the charge that the Genera - meat was, erevin,g any preference to its own supporters. If justice was given to the town .of Goderich, et was very rough justice indeed. The town of St. Catha- rines had its debt reduced in a much larger proportion than that of Goderich, which had paid into the treasury a much larger proportion ,,of the amount it hart borrowen than any other municipality. Probabi ',hat was because he was a Re- former, er iile the -representative of St. Catheriee was a Conservative and -an opponent of the Government. (Laugh- ter.) Str afford and Lawlor' had also paid in much less than Goderich, and yet they complained that their debt had not been sufficiently reduced. The lit- tle town of Goderich had acted nobly in the repayment of the interest, and he stheughtehatithad hardly been fairly dealt with. He admitted, however, that the scheme as a whole was a fair one. The county of Huron had nothing to com- plain of, but, out, of the seven towns that had borrowed $100,000 from the Municipal Loan Fund, Goderich had been less generously dealt with than any of them except Chatham. Mr. Gibson said that the members who had objected to the scheme had not shown auy way of bettering it. Surely it was ouly fain that the county of Huron, which had always paid up its in- terest faithfully, shOuld have been re- lieved. Huron and Bruce had in one yeae paid $55,000, although the farmers inehe county had been forced to sell every bushel of grain to pay their texes. This time the neighboring county, Perth, because it sent a representative who supported the Conservative Gore ernment, had been allowed to go with- out ps.ying a cent Hon. gentlemen op- posite sheuld be the last to speak of seep wting supperters. He thought that the nen. member for Victoria was wrieie .n stating teat we would not have any revenue but from woods and ferests. Half as muoh was spent in opening up that nem country as was reeeived from that source. It was therefore unfair in the hon. member to say that this sur- plus should all be :Tent in the back townships. Hon. membert were too inclined to look it this matter from local stand points. This was ahowu by the hon. member for Lincoln, whose heart all the time he was speaking was in the town of St. Catherine& (Rear, hear.) It was vory easy for hon. gentlemen opposite to get up and find fault, but none of them had shown how a better arrangement could have been made. It , would have been much worse to have 11 left the Fund in the poeition in which it was. He himself might have felt in- clined to find fault with some of the pro- visions of the arrangement -the reliev- ing, f3r instance, of some of the muni- cipalities that had not paid np as well as they might have done ; but he could not see howthe difficulty could be remedied. On the whole he thought that the east- ern end cf the Province had fared best. He did not see how the town of St. Catherines could complain ; it had paid nothing since 1858, and ought to try to go at it now. The city of Lonclott was getting an asset that would nearly pay the interest on their indebtedness. In the north of Huron and in Bruce the lands had cost the settlers about three million and inhale dollars. The eount- ies had paid in hard cash to this fund a very large sum. These counties had dis- dained repudiation, and the consequence was that in the English market their de- bentures were worth two per cent prem-, ium. If all other counties had done liken wise the House would not now be troub- led with this settlement. He seid that some machinery would have to be pro- vided for settling the points of differ- encethat might arise between counties and the smaller municipalities within them. He hoped the House would carry the scheme through to a conclusion. The Government would at any rate have the credit of Laving settled this question - which so many other Governments- had - been uaable to grapple with. - - The Now Grand Trunk Scheme. With a view to a removal of the diffi- culties under which the Grand Trunk Railway bas so long laboured, the Lon- don Board of Directors have endorsed a policy, the announcement of whioh be received with mach interest. Mr. Alex. McEwan, to whom the scheme owes its origin, sustained by powerful supporters, and sanguine enough of suc- cess to invest largely on hieown account, purposes, , in the first place, to raise 210,000,000 of additional ordinary stock at 220, thereby realizina 22 000 NO and next to change the present gauge to that of the American roads, and sub- stitute steel for iron rails, at the same time doing everything came that is requir- ed to -put the road in first rate running order. He feels confident that these improvements will speedily raise the an- nual traffic of the road to 113,000,000, and put the enteepriseton a tenth sound- er financial basis than at present.

GENTLEMEN—The undersigned, ap- pointed by your Association to report upon the capebilities of the °purity of Huron for fruit growing, and what has lboowens d:_o_ne in this direction in that sec- tion of the country, report as fol - Owing to business engagements, we found it impossible to. devote so much time to a personal examination of all parts of the County, owing to its large extent, as we wonld have wished, and we arranged to commence our labors by put- ting in im appearance at the exhibition _ of the Goderich Horticultural Society, held at Goderich, September 18th. Here we found a splendid collection of fruits of all kinds, preying moat incontestibly the admirable adaptability of the Cou.uty for fruit growieg. AFFLES.—Apples were splendid; and iwgreat variety.

It is taken from the Glaagow Herald of 3d March:- There are probably very few links re- maining to connect 115 with the period before the beginning of the French Revolution. Dr. Robert Buchanan, A. hie Who died yesterday, in his eighty- eighth year, at his residence, Ard- fillayee, near Duneon, was born in 1785, and was a boy of fifteen at the beginning of the century, when the name of Ne- i poleon "filled the nations with terror and amaze." Mr. Buchanan was, we believe, a native of 1Callander. He was descended from a cadet of the Buchanan Clan, whose territory stretches, along the east side of Lochlomond from Balfron, and across to the foot of Ben - lemon& where begins the district of the Macgregor. The predominance of the Clan in the neigborhood is still indicated by the name Buchaoan House, the prin- cipel residence qf his Grace the Duke of Montrose, Chant:eller of the University of Glasgow. Five or six sons of the Buchanan family became ministers of the Church of Scotlend, one of whom, the Rev. John Buchanan, minister of Kingarth, in Bute, died about -a year ego, also at an advanced are. Mr. Buchanan was a distinguished student at the University of Glasgow, and a favourite pupil of hie predecessor, Pro- fessor Jardine, who held the appoint- ment of Profeasot of Logic for forty consecutive years. It is interesting to note that Professor Jardine's predeces- sor was James Clow, who occupied the chair for 35 years, and perhaps it is also worth mentioning' that Edmond Burlie and David Hume were both candi- dates for the -Professorship when Clow waa appointed. The three Professors, Clow, Jardine and I3uchanan, filled the Chair for the long period of 112 years. After completing his University course and redeiving license, Mr. Bu- chanan was appointed minister of the parish of Peebles, where he succeeded the Rev. Dr. John Lee, who was after- wards Principal of the ITeiversity of Edinburgh. Those who' remember him at that time declare him to haye been one of theemost excellent preachers of the day, and speak of his prayers, for which he was famed throughout the Jhurch, as the: mest beautiful expres• sinus of devotioeal feeling. It is s. some - diet curious 'circumstance in con- Joel:ion with his ocsupancy of the pulpit ‘t Peebles, that the gran -nether and the nether of his successer in the Logic eliair of our University, Professor neetch, the present incumbent, set inder his ministry, and used to speak varmly of the impression which he .nade as a preacher in thet part of the eountry. About 1821, .Mr. Buchanan left Peebles, and was appointed assistant end successor to his friend and teacher Professor Jardine, who numbered a-_ mongst his pupils such men as Sir William Hamilton and Professor ,,Wilson. From what is known of Profestor Jar- dine, we should imagine that he must have made much the same impression upon the students that his successors did. Certainly, every orte of them re- tained the kindliest recollection of him, and frequently spoke with gratitude of the intellectual services whicb he had rendered them. It is needless to speak of the eminence of Peofessor Buchanan as a teacher and counsellor of young d h' h' We also visited some of the most suc- cessful growers in the neighborhood of Seaforth, and inspected tbe fruit shown at the Tuckersmith fall show, held in Seaforth, Ainongst those in this sec- tion whom we interviewed we mention Menne. James Dickson, R. Londesboro, „John Londesbero. and E. Creswell, of Tuckersmith ; John McMillian, of Mil- let ; George Hamilton, of Cromarty ; and T. Torrance and James Scott of McKillop.

The fruit crop idoi with the exceptio of, the Baldwin, which is found.ten here, the trees li- had not been up to the average this season, owing to the extreme drought, which had affected the size of the fruit very materially, and had caused a great deal of it to drop prematurely. Pear blight had been very bad this season., One thing we noticed at the show at Seaforth, and to some extent also at Goderich-viz. the erroneous names uncle: which nmoh of the frnit is shown. This is mainly due to the practioe of pur- chasing trees from travelling agents, from Whom, SS a rule, there is no guar- entee of getting the trees true to name. Let intending'planters deal directly with retponsiblo nurseymen, even if it costs them a few dollars more for freight or express charges-, and there will not be so much of this almost universal complaint that the trees, when they come to fruit, are not of the varieties ordered.
