RODOERVILLE- CHEFSE FACTORY.—As the above
has been in active operation since theist of May,

• ion, both regarding the system of famine, it has

the dairyman, Mr. Malcolm, •who has already
had a great deal of experience in. the: business,
near Kippen. As to the syetem, who have

in assering those who have not, that, besides the
em•iching of the land., it iseet least one half more
remuneretive 'to the farmer, than the old system
of raising gratin e; especially now that the
'wheat crop is almost an entire failure, With `1;e-
gard to, Mr. Malcolte; we were led to ''believe
tro.m the 'excellent character wnichhebore; while '
m the Thames Road factory, that be would prove
himself competent.. in business and honest in his -
dealings with his patrons; and we are now happy
to state that in both respects, our most sanguine
anticipations have been fully realized ebe ha' ieg
made and, sold, on the 1st of July, over 52,600
*ital. of Orst class cheese, which commanded the
highest Market price ; and in his clealings with
his patrons he has givem entire stisfaction.-- With
regard- to his success, we may .say that he had
coesideteble diffieulty. at first, in procuring pa-
tronage, owing to -a great many having previous-
ly had apremanieratisre experience in the bueiness ;
but, it has beeii constantly increasing, so that it -
is now double the .amouet that he expected„ and, ;
judging from our conversation with • those who
have supported him, this year, as well as those
• .who have not, we have no hesitation in saying'
that his patronage will be, at least, double next
season ; and .Mr. Malcolm intends, duringthe.
winter, makiat preparations to meet it. Indeed,
of Mr. Malcolm's success there can be no doubts,
fer the following in. aeons, viz. : He is situated in

To the Editor of the Huron Expositor
DEAR SIR.—In the last week's issue of your
valuable paper, a communication appears over the
signature of ‘• Viator," reflecting on the genera
Management of my stage line. This 1ea9ed "Vi-
ator" not having been hurled along the road at
railroad speed, and inwardly cursing stagese-stag-
ing and drivers, and seekiiig whereupon to verit
his pent up wrath, grasps his masterly quill, and
pours Out his venom on the devoted heads of both
driver and proprietor. Now, had "Viator" stuck
to truth; I would not have said a word, for it is
possible on the best conducted lines, someirregu-
laxities may Occur, and any information regard-
ing annoyances to travellers on my stage would
be thankfully received and ptomptly attended to;
but that "Viator," shetting right and left, -in
hopes to kill, at least, t driver, manages to shoot
Wide , of - the truth.- -Firet he says, "two hours
elapse after the arrival .of the train before the
stage is ready, and if an extra is required, three
hours." Now, Viator," such is not the case.
The stage starts as soon as the mails are assorted
for the north, andtif an extra is required, it is
get ready as soon. as circumstances will permit.
You know nothing shout it; or why a delay oc-
curs. Next, "Viator" says., "at each tavern a-
long the road the rider dismount& to liquor up."
This is simply a feleehood, as neither of my driv-
ers are drinkers any morethan " Viator.". If a
post. office is a few roads distant, the stage is
usually driven up to the hotel, that passengers
who wish to dismount to " liquor up," or any-
thitg else, may .do so ; and I have yet to learn
that this is not the usage on any stage lite in the
country., "Passengers are continually subjected
to insolence' and abuse." This is another.. -down.
tight" falsehood, as any one who ever travelled
the road, very well knows, and this insolent and
abusive "Viator" can substantiate nothing of thO
kind. _ Trunks and extra. baggage are charged at
-ordinary rates, and. not.so high as on some lines,
extraordinary charges are ,mede.- Viator s
charge about keeping back change when a bill is
handed, end a paSgenger _tolcl to take what he
could get, or walk, is a malicious falsehood, and
I defy this " Viator," whoever he is, to support
it, through.' the Press or elsewhere. I fling back
his. insolence and abuse, and no mane I care not
' what his position may be, but a gneaking and
malicious knave, would write falshoods tending
to drive men from earning a livelihood, who are
equally ae honest and responsible as high sound-
ing "Viator."
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM ARMSTRONG,

Particulars of the Chinese Massacre
-----
It appears that the respOnsibility of the
atrocious butchery- rests entirely upon the
Chinese authorities, and the only apologist
for the appalling crime is the United States
Consul at that port. The mob weie not
only incited by the Chiuese Governor of the
Province, but frequently urged to commit
the atrecities. Their ignorance and- sewer-
stition were worked upen by the most -re•
markable means, and official - publicatiome
taught them to believe that the foreigners
