Dote SIE. -I make bold to ask space in your valuable columns for the follow- ing communication. I them: that the fanners of Huron are very backward in the matter of farmers' clubs. As far as I know of there is itot • farmers dubs in the whole county, though Huron is one. of the utast important aunties in the province. There is no doubt that there is great room for improvement both in our farms and farming. Our farms do not produce nearly as much as they could be made to. Our stock is not pearl as valuable as it might be ; thousands of cattle have been shipped and sold this fall in Buffalo for 3i and 4 cents per pound, when our cattle should ue worth 5 and G cents per pound at least. There is room for improvement in the dairy,the, orchard, and in fact every department of the farm. And, sir. I do nut think there is any way we could work a change for the better than through a go.•d farmer,' club in each township, when matters of interest and profit could be discussed. The Minister of Agriculture has made i arrangements with the professors of the Ontario college to give a series of lec- tures in January on agriculture in places when they are wanted. 1f se had a 1 farmer' club in Colborne, we could nuke arrangements to secure one lecture in our township, and thus reap some benefit from the government's literal policy. 1 hope that some of our Trading farmers will take this matter up. Our esteemed reeve a retired farmer) might take it up, and thus place the people of Colburn under another ohligratirn to him. Hoping to see this thing Liken up in earnest, and earned to a successful conclusion, 1 remain, yours truly, A COL.oE:sa FAI MLI:. un er consideration anti that toxo by the auld-be-considered leading journal in H talent does It dance ..f impertine in "pricaed on, indicate the possession of innate ability by the writer, or rather betoken a super abun- e most arrant cheek and ' The Era boasts of hav- r little bubble, and "let 4he wind out" .f our railway scheme, Ignite regardless of .he fact, if such were true,') that he is thereby doing all is. his little power t.: injure the villages of ;Elora, Latuwel, Brussels and Blyth, and the owners of the fertile gelds surr.und- i ing them. But what cares he at present so lung as then is • hope of crushing Guderich, and snatching the county town. Now. sir, notwithstanding that my eightieth summer is now ended, thanks to my Maker, 1 am not yet so far one in second childhood as to build "cashes .4 cards" just for the fun of seeing them tumble down again. I hate lived over half a century tot the banks of old Huron and have seen it in all its moods and change. of fortune. For many years I took • full share in trying to forward the best interests of the county, as well as .d the t•wn ,.f Godesich. This is the third time 1 have been in the front rank, in attempts to carry a railroad through Huron, for the general good of all, but not until now have I had such language as above referred t.. applied to any work I have ever had a hand in, or to the parties associated with we. But, sir, althouvh it is a long while since the mocking cry .1 "Go un, thou bald -head" was tint uttered, we need not feel much surprise to hear its response from small minds, even in this the nineteenth cen- tury. 1 shall very possibly have to re- turn to this subject, sir, but to my next I purpose to alum our readers the utter ignorance or wilful misrepresentations of the Nor Era in reference to the railroad period .4 'b to 'fab, and in the meantime I beg most distinctly and widely to differ from the opinions of the "sage of Huron" as to the future pnepects of Goderich, and I flatter myself that I am yet as able to form as sound an opinion on that subject as any inland juvenile journalist or boasting boy of yesterday.

Constable Yule on 'Thursday ..1 last week proceeded to Wmnglaw and arrested the 1'.1.11.- man, giving him in chary* of Constable Pettigrew, of the auction town. He theta started for Martyn's house at Whitechurch, but oilseed him there. The wtittr .1 the libel had previously left for 1Vinghaun, and upon beim. informed by Mitchell that a constable was after him with a writ, he agreed in the most grandiose style to accompany thein to tiodertch, without waiting for Mr. Yule. He said hs had good authority fur the truth of every slatentent in his letters. Upon reaching u.derich, however, the miserable fellow was undeceived. 11e found that the stories told him were shamefully false, and that his remaining in the country wuant certain conviction. He declared his intention of vindicating himself by telling who his intimating were, but that meant suite for slander against those who had stuffed him. and the result was that to save himself and his quondam friends "Ile folded his tent tike the Arabs And as silently stole away" on Thursday night, before Yule's return home. THE .'Anes&LL LIBEL. On Friday morniog'J. T. Mitchell was brought before Mayor Horton for his preliminary examination on a charge of libelling Rev. T. M. Campbell, of this town. The libel c•mplained of was to the effect that he had been divorced from his first mfr for adultery, and before entering the ministry was a horse -trader in Belleville. Previous to theMitchell examination had interviewed Mr. Campbell, and with earnest entreaties for leniency expressed his sorrow for publishing the libel, and offered an ample apology to the clerty- men if he would withdraw the suit. Mr. Campbell expressed himself as dslruus of having the matter ventilated in court, that the heinousness of the libel as well as its absurdity might be shown the public. J. T. (:arrow appeared for the pWntiff,and the accused was represented by P. Holt. Thos. McGillicuddy testified that J. T. Mitchell was the editor and proprie- tor of the 1\'inglam 1-idrtte, and iden- tified the proper produced in court as the paper received by him trom the office of the accused on the Saturday previous. He knew Rev. T. M. Campbell, and he was the penin intended in the letter in the t -ideate. Rev. T. MCampbell, swornsaid that the first chatyc. m"f beings "pred, es- tinate se.uudrel" he must leave to his congregation and the community. He did not use the language at Dungannon imputed to trim, nor anywhere else. He did not call Intel keepers "devils' and "socursed" at Dungannon or any other place. The charge of leadinz 300 women and boys to the town hall meeting in Godench was absolutely false. He did not ask one women or boy to attend that meeting. He was never married except • to his present wife, and consequently was never dirorsed. He never lived at Belleville, nor followed the purse trading business. Mr. Garrow said he could not ima- gine a more serious charge than that brought against Mr. Campbell. Prisoner's counsel offered no defence of any sort. The mayor said it wasa serious charge, even if It were true. He could do noth- ing else hat rend the prisoner up to the assize... His worship said he would ac- cept bail, prisoner in his awn rernrniz- ance of $400, and two sureties of $400 each. Messrs. E Martin and G. Cox went security for the prisoner on this charge. THE ArHExu' cAnif. The libel on George Acheson was pr o- osed with shortly after. Thos. McGilli- cuddy gave similar testimony as in the Campbell case. Mr. Acheson swore that he was the person intended as being in jail in_Crlifornia for stealing $3,000 worth of silks, but the mayor refused to rive hint an uppnrtunity of simply con- tradicting it in court,as he had give Mr. Campbell. As the prisoner was already bound in 51,200 to appear at the assizs his we.r- ship added an additional $300, the ac- cused in $100, and two other securities .4 $100 each. TUB t'IDETfE x ArOLcail'. The f'idetto last week contained two items concerning the libellous letter. The first was some foolish crowing over the fact that the editor dared to print Martyn's letter, and the item folio -twine made the editor eat humble pie in the following fashion :- 1 "Troon enquiry we learn that the charges made by Dr. Martyn against Rev. T. M. Campbell, of G.derieh, in his letter .•f correspondence which appeared in the last issue of the rotten., are utter- ly en•undless and entirely without foun- dation. Recognizing the fact that Mr. Campbell has been unjustly dealt with by us, we hasten to set this matter right in the sight of the public.
