A BRITISHER SPEAKS.—As a rule when talking on politics and trade questions, a certain element in the Dominion assert that the British or European people have a very poor opinion of this fair Dominion ; in fact that there is no respect at all shown to this country. Last week THE NEWS - RECORD was much pleased to meet personally an Englishman who is in- specting for himself all the good and "bad" advantages and "drawbacks" of the Province of Ontario and probably Huron County in particular. probably refer to Mr. William Nethersole, of Kent county, England. He has not coupe out -to this country as the special or paid agent of speculators, but he comes as the direct representative of the Farmer's Club, at the Central Cham- bers of Agriculture, London, Eng. Mr. Nethersole was accompanied by Me. McNaughton, of Daly .L Co., Guelph, who are endeavoring to encourage farmers with means from Britain. Mr. Nethersole informed Tite• NEws-l3,r- CORD that there are many farmers in Britain, whom he represents, with a capital of from £1,000 to £1,500 at their command. in time they will become impoverished in Britain. They desire to ascertain from one of themselves what future use can be made of this money in fanning lands in Ontario. Mr. I. Rattenhury drove the gentle- men to several points of interest in this locality, among them Elmhurst farts, owned by Mr. W. J. Biggins. Mr. Nethersole requested THE NENvs- RECORD to say, and he emphasized the words, that this was one of the grandest and most promising countries under the sun ; that he would go back to Britain and tell his fellow farmers that Ontario was the place to locate. Such a visit cannot fail to strengthen the ties between Britain and Canada. And it can hardly fail in ultimately bringing to this country a monied and desirable class of farmer emigration. A gentleman who carne out with Mr. Nethersole has since bought a farm. fl Councillor Searle proved that $GO be set aside for the Street Committee to fray for pruning, removing trees, &c., but there being no seconder the motion could not be put.
