in your valuable columns for the follow-

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,

As outlined by Tut Swett last week,

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

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. Durror our
sheen. the letter found a place in our
adumue, and we have sins learned that
not one angle charge is true, and at the
earliest pnesihle opportunity we deem it
roar ditty, in view of the fact, to make
the amends I.nnnr.ble."
