Miric $TREET. — The promenader on.
Main -street, at the present time, cannot
fail to be struck with the gay appearance
of the shop windows. For tasteful dis-
play, and for the elegance and stylish-
ness of the articles exhibited, our dim
goods stores eival in exteriors appearance
those of places of miler greater preten-
sions. Indeed, so far as outside display
is cencerned, one Might suppose himself
in King street, Of the Provincial capital,
rather than in thieprincipal street of a
country village, -and OH entering the
stores and examining more closely the
. quality and auantity of the goods, the
illusion. would hardly be dispelled.
Stocks, Uns spring, are larger than ever
before. The prosperous condition of the
country, the growing importance of our
town_ and a naturally sanguine disposi-
tion, which auclines
them to teak at the
bright rather than the dark side of th
future, has pronipted •our dealers t
unusual efforts thie epason to present ee
tensive assortments- to their eustomers
That their best expectations may -b
realized, and that their -enterprize ma
he duly rewarded, is a consummation

SCARCITY OF FEED. —For Many 'years
the scarcity of fodder for stock has not
been. so seriously- felt as this spring.'
Many of our best farmers have had to
Flue hay and pay $29 per toe for it, in
order to keep their stock from starving.
The sprifig thus far has been very cold
and backward, causing slow vegetation.
This has made the scarcity of fodder to
be much more felt than had the,Weather

THE TIOWICK FIRE INSURANCE • COM -
'Paint. —We stated some few weeks lion
that a movement was on foot to establibsli
a local Mutual Fire Insurance Company
in liowick. We are pleased te learn -that
the efforts of the promoters.of the move-
ment have been so far auccessfel, that
they have already a suffi.cient amount
of ansurance guaraeteed to enable them
to 'appoint their Board of Directors and
org nize the Company. We would
sta ngly advise the farmers of Howick to
b
me this Comtaety every possible en-
coa agernent' and support. By so doing,
theV will be putting money, directly into
,,
the r own pockets. In a Company such.
as at proposed, if properly. meaductede
a f• mer can have his .property insured
for as large a sum at .an alleluia cost at
from 40 to 60 bents per annum, as he
could in a foreign company for $3 or $4.
The reason of this is that instead Of al-
to* ng dividends to go to the sharehold-
ers of the ' Company and paying large
sale ies to officials, he retains the amount
in h s own pocket. For pertkulars of

A Farmer on the Butter Inspec-
tion Question.
To the Ecliior of the Vurou Expositor.
SIR : Would you kindly allow me
spice in your valuable paper that I may
inform you of the light la which farmers
view the recent doings 6e class of men
who of late have affected to take a great
interest in the welfare of the farmer,
that he may become the recipient of
more temporal blessings in the shape of
high prices for his butter. - As the con-
sequent fruit of this benevolent desire, a
convention was called to meet in Giesler-
ieh, to devise the best means of raising
the standard of butter throughout On-
tario. In order that the combination
may command an imposing 'appearance,
itis styled the Ontario Butter Associe-
tion. That this philanthrophy may sink
deeper into the hearts of the grateful,
but benighted farmers of flaten and
. Bruce, its promoters enter upOti the ar-
duous task of making rales and regula-
tions for their guidance, in order that
they may enjoy a greater measure of
prosperity than hitherto. It is -rnost
minima how solicitous the merchants
arid tra.ders of Huron and _Bruce have
become of late in the welfare of the far-
mer, for great care is taken M every an
of the combinatioaists and
their satellites, that the interests of the
farmer is the great ead they have in
view, wbRe the interests of the m.erc
is only vaguely hinted at is bein
together of secondary importance. I'
niers, I:roe/ever, are amazed exceeding
that they have never been invited
send delegates te any ofthe meetings
these combinationists; as a matter
courtesy, should there be no higher mo-
tive, and. to niake the wheels of ehe huge
-
machine run' a little smoothly. In our
simplicity we thought that farmers were
the parties most interested. iu the butter
question. •And, although our friends,
the merchants and traders of Huron,
disinterestedly take upon themselves the
onerous duty of deliberating for our ben-
efit in convention, somehow , we have
got an idea into our heals that we onalt
to be consulted in a matter so closely
effecting our interests. .1 -lave we indeed
become such serfs thatewe can safely be
ignored, and tamely submit to the dicta tion
of a bod.y.of coxcombs who have the ig-
norance and impertinence to think that
that the independent yeomanry of Hie.
ron would not feel it an indignity cast
upon them, to be compelled to subma to
laws framed by an irresponsible body
and imposed by a clique of men, govern-
ed by no other priaciple than an unhal-
lowed desire to squeeze the last shilling
out of the already overburdened farmer.

seconded by W. H. Veritat. the &eye
was e.ppoireted to wait on the Judge and
arrange the matter. By-law No. 2, pro-
viding for tavern and shop licences and
defining the Inspector's duty, was read a
socond and -third. time and passed. Mr.
John Southcott was appointed pound-
-keeper. The Assessment roll was hand-
ed in and sworn to by the Assessors,
George .Tcilpatrick and Joseph A chasm,
according. to law. The account of Messrs.
J. Guth -& Soil. to the amount of $7 50,

he most • obtuse can see that the so
an is to prevent competition. They
aye graciously permitted prices of first
-
lees buttereth be ruled by supply or de -
ami, or in their own language by the
holesale market, but the cloven foot is
hown in classes 2, 3 and 4, as they shall
e ia a certain proportion to No. 1. A
ore galling yeke of bondage sought to
O put upon tht necks of a free people
an scarcely be imagined. When the
rices of Nos. 2, 3 &ea 4 can be fixed by
n iron rule, why not fix the price of No.
as was d'one in Clinton last fall. But
hat is the aim, if it could be carried out,
nd which would take away competition
ost effectually. We might just, as well
aye a derringer presented at our breasts
hen we enter the precincts Of a town
nd compeljed to sell our butter a
hatever price the whim of. any banfili
ight demand. The aim of these lan
sharks who met in Goderich is -the
same, viz., to purchase butter at a low
figure that they may make la-rge profits.
It would be considered now -a -days un-
gentlemanly to practice this primitive
method of robbing, but the principle is
all the same. When men find that by a
conspiracy of this description they.aan
eontrol prices, their avarice knows no
bounds. Would it not be quite as justi
fiable M farmers, and with as much pro
priety, were they to appoint inspectors
every town and. village throughout
e Cpunty, whose duty -it would be to
spect tea, for instance, and adopt rules
ttiug forth that No. 1 should. be gov-
ned by the price of the wholesale mar-
t, and that No. 3 should not .be more
an four-fifths of the price of No. 1, and.
OIL Such 4 system would. be both
tyrannseal and absurd. But the recent
6at of the Butter Association is equally
oppressive and • absurd. Were the -mer-
chants of the County of Huron suffering
from the tyranny of the farmers, and
were they compelled to purchase butter
from them. at an arbitrary price
n they might command public sym-
hy, and there would be some excuse
the formation of a ring for their nm -
1 protection. But the remedy lies
h themselves. No farmer compels
m to purchase butter, much less to
-chase it at a certain price. ‘. If Cana -
