They are /sure of it without giving much
of a bonus; others, viz-, those around

giving a bonus, mileas they get a station
in -that ontsif;the,way place. But if. we
wishto have a railway we must make
up our naiads both to give and to take,
and remember that . every one cannot
have a station at their own door.

To the Editor of the Huron Expos' tor-
e`filitf —In your issue -of the 30th ult.,
an article appeared from the wouldbe
,notable '"Lumby Debating Club" in
-which . they were &WIT forth their
claims to honor a -e orators of some renown.
As I read the paragraph, it reminded
me of the old fable about the jac dais in
borrowed. feathers. In justice to the
public allow me to strip them a little of
their false plumage. In• the fi st place
they paint in glowing colors their imagin-
ed) victories o4 the " Farqufia -
Now, sir, tbeii last debate w th that
Club showed sudh dishonesty as i seldom
to be found in "Literary Sociai s." The
evening of the 1debate they re used to
proceed unless the chairman wo ld make
such overtures Ss would secure . o them
the victory. A respectable aud'enee be-
ing present, to prevent disappo'utment,
the debate teoklpla,ce ; the decieion wan
to the effect that if any standard diction-
ary be consulted as to -the defi ition of
the disputed word, the" Farquh. r Club"
merits the decision, but if the d finition
(of the wiseacres of Lumley b taken,
(of course) they wtuld have the decision;
the public can therefore judge ho had
the best rtght t8 it. I might a so here
mention that the " Farquhar Club" had
but four speakers, not as they rep esented
'1 five on each side." In tbe seem d place,
where they have had six challenge de-
bates without losing one, they conch their
language in such a dishonest cl4ak as to
icad. the publie to suppose thety gamed
them. Of the six debates mentim ed there
were two in which no decision ilvhatever
was given, and of the three oth rs it was
the unanimous opinion of intell gent au-
diences that they did not merit it, at
least in two lases. These re facts.
Thirdly, "their ambition is entij ily satis-
fied they intend to live retired Poor
souls, their 0511bl-time was of a very low
nature, and easily satisfied, only1a month
ago they were nes* fledged:" Public
