Tag New Era, of yesterday, states
having received a letter from a number
of young men, making some. reflections
en the Editor of this journal, but re -
Ruses publication. The trouble seems
to arise from an item in last" week's
issue. If the "poor fellows" referred
to apply 'to us, personally or by letter,
we will give them full satisfaction.
The fashion of taking the paper till
the subscriber thinks his•; time is .ex-
pired which is in reality from two
weeks to six • months past the dace for
payinen has been made, and then re-
questieg the postmaster to return it
"refused" " has left the place," "times

the law and treated accordingly. If a.
mau wants to stop a newspaper, the
proper way is to look up his receipts,•
enclose in an envelope what arrearages
there maybe, whether five cents or five
dollars and ask the publisher to.discon-
tinue -from that time. The law also
states distinctly. that a man is respon-

market, very few of therim as yet being
used in Ontario. The .machine runs.
very easily, and we must say is far
superior to any'anachine of the kind we
have ever seen. The grain is brought
forward by Rmeaens of a reel,and cut,
thrown on a table, over which runs a
canvas which carries it to the end of
the table, when it is caught by an ele-
vated canvas, which carries it • ups and
delivers it into a receptacle for the
binder. " It is, then formed into a sheaf
by the cotnpresser; Tho'wire, with
which, the sheaf is. bound, is fed•frona
:two spools, and after the sheaf' has
been put together by the compresser,
whioh, besides, carries with it 'part of
the, wire, both parts.. of the wire are
brought £ogether and run on opposite
sides of a small cog -wheel, which ties
.the knot for the next sheaf above and
the knot for the next band below. and,
by means of a - differental wheel, the
wire is cut off between those two knots,
thereby freeing the sheat, which is then
thrown off. The machine does,; xcell-
ent work and does not -leave .n `straw
showway in, whi li.
behind, To on the o
the machine is received, Mr. Shipley
declares that he would- net be with.
out the machine for \double its cost.
Mr. Fullen, the superintendent, has
been all over the worldsuperintending
its working, and he informs us that the.
wire•required will not cost over 20 cts.,
to the acre, which is, indeed, a very
sniallitem when compared`. ,with the
labor and expense which is saved. Mr.
Fullen leaves forMenitoba next week,
where he is introducing it. He informs

Nis one likes to lie':asked to loan his

• borrowing one. ' The firat; feeling - is
natural: We 'like to enjoy whatever.;

are asked to loan 'a newspaper just as
we desire to peruse. it. It is. •-very
wrong, and shoulii be repressed in.some
way or other. -By this being attained,
