Eorron. Exrosarote-StR.-- Some men will try to gain h000r by self praise; some will employ others te do it for them, losing sight of truth and. honesty. I believe and. feel sure that this, is the Cabe with those who make a brag about fast threshing. In: the first plaee, they lose sight of truth, for in one case one of the correspondents said that he was -going to puzial. squib in about fast thresh- ing, but not to believe it, for it was go- ing to be all lies, -which no doubt it was. In the second place they lose sight of honesty. We read in the EXPOSITOR, of February 2nd, that a hundred bueliels of wheat were threshed in 45 minute. Now, allowing this to be correct, I ask does this thresher do so much to every farmer, allowing their grain to be equal- ly good? To show these braggarts their dishonesty f will illustrate it in this way: !Supposing I would hire for a dol- lar a day to chop wood for A., I would put up two cords a day; B. would hire me for a dollar a day, I would have the same kind of timber, and would only, put up one cord a day, would I not -be very dishonest to 13 ?.Threshers will thresh one hundred bushels in forty-five minutes, for one man aud it will take them an hour and a Inilf t6 thresh one hundred. for his neighbor, and the grain turn out as good ' in the one case as in the iv other. No oncler that those blower are laughed . at by the honest farmers, yet they are so loud. of blOWing that they caunot see their own weakness ; but when a hurricane comes, the nar- rower the channel through which the gale passes, the stronger the breeze. A LOVER OF HONESTY. Carronbrook. OYSTER SUPPER..-LOn Saturday even- ing last,. the people of Carronbrook and vicinity,; gave a grand Oyster Suppeit ab Carpenter's Hotel, in honor ,of Thomas King, Esq., the newly elected IVerden of the County of Perth.

Mooney 4,ncl Robert Coleman. from Seaforth; Drs. ilornibrook and Cum- mings, and. Mr. Ricks, from Mitchell; and Dr. Hanavan, from Stratford. Dr, King occupied the Chair, and the Vice - Chair was ably filled by Mr. A. Shaw. The room was tastefully .decorated with evergreens, and the walls were covered with flags of different nationalities,* in- terspsed with appropriate mottoes, Over Dr. King's Chair was suspended a beautiful banner of green and gold on which were inscribed the words ..:, "Next to the clear old land of my birth, The loveliest spot to me on earth Is Ilibberte noblest township s in the County of Perth." , And underneath, "Vivo Le , Roidt After the company sat down, the Chair- man called upon Mr. Luke King, to open proceedings, which. that gentleman did by reading an original poem, composed by him expressly for the occasion. After the solids had been disposed. of, the cloth was removed and the Chairman propos- ed the toast of ," The Queen," which it is needless to say was received with all the honors, followed by the National • Anthem. The Army and Navy" -was the next toast, responded to by Dr. Coleman, then followed The Learned Professions" responded to, by Messrs. Patton. Mooney and McCarty, after which. the (Liman preposed "The Guest of the Evening;" the Warden re- sponded by thanking them for the hearty manner in which they had drank the last toast. He said he felt proud to see so many of his friends together. He had. long been a resident amOugst them, and he was glad that his conduct as Reeve met the approval of Itis townsmen. After Mr. King sat down, three cheers and a tiger were given for the Warden of the County of Perth, then. came several 'volunteer toats, "The Manufacthring Interests," responded. to by ltl.r. 0. G. Anderson, "The Mercantile Interests," by Messrs. Lawrence Murphy and Thos, Kidd, ".The Menicipalities. Of Ontario," by Messrs. O'Sullivan and Evans of McKillop. The toasts were interspersed by songs from Dr. Cumminta, -Messrs. A. Shaw, John Killoran, J. O'Flaherty, Thos. Downey, H. King, John Horan and others. Altogether the evening was spent in a very pleasant manner, in re- gard to the substantial' pert of the tertaininent Mrs. Carpenter sustained on this, as on former occasions the re- putation which has given her the title of the Dehnonico of Carronbrook, and. the tasteful manner in which the tables were decorated with beautiful flowers elicited the admiration of all present.

They state that they never con- templated anything. of the kind, and that no offers or proposals looking toirards such a scheme have ever been submitted or entertained." OFFICE, OF THE AINLEYVILLE PEOPLE'S DIREC•TOR-erE, Ate Let men, February 7th, 1872. To he Editor .of Ike 11111'01Z lixposit or. ,Referring to the above "ukase," I an instmeted to say that the Directors of Our Board give positive assurance -,;o their constituents and the public general - lea that they never had, nor have they now any intention of opening negotia- tions for an amalgamation of the Wel- lington, Grey and. Bruce Railway, and the so-called London, Huron and Brute Railway, at this or any other point, and further, they never seriously enterter- tamed the -idea of negotiating in. anv manner whatever with the Directorate of that visionary narrow guage London scheme which -the " Voice of the People," in North Huron, has already condemn-- ecl in the inest emphatic manner. By Order, "Vox Porttt," President• . TnuE ECHO, Secretary. A Ramble ThroUgn Hay and Stanley.. To, the Editor of the Ii-4ron ExpoRitor. SIR -As the sun. made its first appear- ance on the morning of the 2nd instant, your correspondent deteerdined to take a drive to see how the country looked af- ter the severe storm *Mali had prevailed for some (lays previously. The first place of note which we came to in the couree of our ramble was THE VILLAGE OF KIPPEN. This place seems to be quite a smart, • thriving little village. Most of the travel from Hay, and a good. deal from. Stanley goes through it to the Seaforth and Clin- ton markets. There are two Blacksmith Shops, one Waggon and Carriage Shop, one kood Store and Post Office. which are kept by Jr. Meths, two dtrurches and one Hotel. The Hotel is kept by Mr. Shaver, and. if you should happen this way, and require a good square meal I would strongly recommend you to give Mr. Shaver your order, and he will set before you a table, the like ,of • which it would puzzle soiree of your Seaforth-Ho- tels to come up to. Leaving Kippen, and driving on through the township of ,Hay, I passed a number of Saw _Mills, all of which, judting from the /lumber of logs in the yards, seem to, bei doing a good business. In a few years lumber and _aeclar posts will be scarc4 and. dear in this section, as -the bush;_ lands cannot long withstand the heavy drain which is being made on them year after year. As I drove along it was most gratifying to noticethe amount of material laid clown on different farms preparatory to the 2rec- tion of new buildingsin the spring. Amongst others, I noticed. that my old friend, Robert Ferguson, 'Esq., has a large quantity of brick and stones ready for a fine new house which he intends to erect in the spriag. I wish him success. A few minutes more and I arrive at ZURIS211. This is a smart villt"-, populated princi- pally by Germans, wind are in the main a frugal, industrious people, and make ex- cellent and almost invariably prosperous settlers. There are in tide place tree stores, three respectable hotels, and ma- ny other business establishments -such as Grist and. Saw Mills, &c. Mr. Carrick seems to be doing a large business in both his flonriug mill and saw mill. Mr. Brown also seems to be dning a large trade in the dry goods line. He has mantefriends in this place, and deserved- ly so, too, "for he's a jolly good fellow." Passing on, I called upon Mr. Volland, who has a fine larm of one bemired and fifty- acres within a short distance of Zurich. The land in this vicinity is much more rolliog than it is in the front of the township, and 1 should say much better adapted. to the growing- of fall wheat. After reaching Mr. \Tolland's, and enjoying a comfortabledimier, I took a stroll out to view his stock, which is truly worthy of admiration. He inform ecl me that he threshes his grain as the stock uses the stra-w. Having a thresh- ing machine placed in his barn, he has it in his power to thresh at any time he re- quires draw, so that in this waythe straw is always fresh, and must be much better fat, stock than that which has been kept font mouths in the stack or barn. A short distande from the barn there is a beautiful spring flowing out of the bank, and which is conducted. by means of pipes, into a large trough situated in the yard. This spring seems never to be af- fected by the frost. • Leaving Mr. Vol.. land's, I pursued my way to Mr. John Zimmer's, who is, by the way, the cham- pion grape -grower of the township of Hay, if not of the County of Huron. He has about eight orten acres of an orchard and vineyard, one acre of which is taken up exclusively with barapes. Owing to Mr. Zimmer's absencefrom home at the time I called, I,m-as unable to ascertain the amount annually realized from this orchard and vinery, but judging from ap- pearances I should. say it must be a toler- ably profitable investment This latter FE •hirneigic, and WHines,. of Turnberry ; of.
