Roirna—DEAR Sm: The deep pitch-holea in our present snow roads render travelImost impossible, t and anything that wii I prevent or reme- dy them is of mere mportahoe to the people of Seafdrth and surrounding townships than the National Policy or the support or overthrow of the Mowat Goverament. Tao present bob -sleighs are too narrow and short in the limners, and the low benches of many of them directly heap up the now, making the roads worse from Iday to day. The run- ners are also too closie together. The township authorities also seem to entire )r neglect the winter roads,and yet nine - tenths of the produce of the country is moved over them. Money eau be just as properly and tisefuliy expended on winter roads as On the summer ones. I write this as a text, let others continue, ased our present disgraeefal roads will be no longer suffered to annoy and *are 11113.—YOUrs„ H. L.

Among the exhibitors were SOME) of the leading poultry men of the Province, such as Hill, of Beachville, MeLeod, of Woodstock, Burgess, of Drupabo and others. -Th e local breeders also were represented, end we are glad to notice that the locamen held their awn very well with the foreign exhibitors in the premium list,the prizes being very even- ly divided. We have not heard that many sales were made. The affair created very considerable interest both among the town and country people, and the hall was continually :thronged both night and day, and all were agree- ably surprised at the extent and excel- lence of the exhibition. The premium list we alien publish next week, and in the meantime we congratulate the As- sociation on the splendid success which has attended their first exhibition. Ashfield.

AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR.-aQuite a sensation was caused in this place, on the morning of Thursday 15th nit, by the annomacement that a basket con- taining aasaby had been left at the dpor ef the residence of Mr: Alex. McKenzie, Ashfield, on the pr4dious evening. It appears that Mr. McKenzie had been to the house of one of his neighbors and during his absence Mrs. McKenzie, happened to hear the woodshed door quietly swing on its hinges but took no notice particularly of it at the time. Shortly afterwardsehowever, slae heard a noise as if an infant were craing and I going in the -direction from which the sound proceeded, found, just within the woodshed door, what she least expected to find, a basket and in it a baby. Her surprise may be better ima,gined than described.

The little waif is a girt quite fair and pretty, and apparently about three weeks or a month old. There was no note to in- dicate the. object in leaving the poor little thing, or what was desired by the sperson who deserted it. It was corn- lortably wrapped in a new shawl, with one suit of clothes and a sucking bottle.

Poraerceese-Thuraday evening of last week Mr. Bishop held a meeting in the township hall in this place. Mr. Jack- son was not present, but had delegated Mr. McQuade to speak for him. After an animated speech by Mr. Bishopswho dealt with the leading questions Of the day in an able rnarther, Mr. McQuade -gave us a repetition of his speech of last June in point of eloquence and interest, dealing chiefly with questions that are no part of the Opposition platform, such as M. P. P.'s salaries, legislation with regard to line fences, &c. The meeting was a success as far as the Re- form interest is concerned. Mr. Bishop and the Mowat Government are in high • favor here, even among 'Conservatives, and it is thought that many whowill not vote for Mr, Bishop twill at least remain at home. Tuckersraith.

SURELY NOT TRUE. --It is vaguely rta mored that a' certaiu young couple residing not a hundred miles from here; had not long since mutually consented to become husband and. wife: The happy day was drawing nigh, and no -th- ing apparently was -happening -that , would prevent them -from fulfilling their engagement. -Aye, but the young man had altogether forgotten that he had previously signed, an 'agreement at his father's request, that he would not marry until the farm was paid for. The farm is not yet paid for, am:I-it appears that the dutiful son has always fulfilled agreements between himself and his father, and intends to do se always,and let other matters go to the winds.

Mr. Gibscp dealt almost wholly with the firiances under the Mowat administration, arid in nearly all instances producmg figures. He also touched upon the liquor question, the extension of the franchise to mechanics' sons, giving reasons why this right is withheld froth mechanics' Bons and extended to far- mers' sons. So also were the Streams Bill, boundary award and Marmioa taken up by Ma Gibson. Mr. Hay!? reply was taken up principally in mitt-, oising_Mr. Gibson's remarks on the Streams Bill an the award'. He con- cluded his reply thda joke, in which hp stated that Johnwiatia thall higreat powers sacuteness far- sightedness, was far behind Mr. Mowat in his ability at errymandering.

EDITOB,—SIR : our very apprea priate remarks in a late issue anent the number of licensed hotels in a neighbor; ing village, induces me to say a word about the liquor bueiness in Dublin. This village, although pontaining only a few hundred inbabi ants, has no less than five licensed h tels, and. no at. tempt whatever has b en made to cut down the number. 2here was a time when, perhaps, on accciunt of the large lumber business done hre, considerable hotel accommodation as required, but no intelligent person jill deny that two would be quite sufficiellt now. Whether or not this state of things is due to an oversight on the part cf the Commis- sioners I do not say, b t it is at any rate rather a disgrace to tie village and at the same time detrimental to it inter- esta—Yours truly, CITIZEN.

A PLEASANT EVE.NING. — A dery successful exarninatien. and enter- tainment was held at School Sec- tion No. 9, Turnber y. The exam- ination began at 9.30, nd was conduct- ed by Meesrs. McPhe on and Walker. The manner in which j the pupils an- swered the questions ut to them in the different subjects, shows that their teacher (Mr. McEwen) must have labor- ed energetically to bring them to such a state of perfection. At the close of the examination speeche were given by Messrs. Henping, Wy ie, Green, Gem - mill, Higgins and. Pow, 11, each of whom approved of the maniser in which the ell school was conducted duriag the past year. They also dwe t uion the har- mony existing betw en teacher and pupils, which is of itself a sign that the school is in a flourishing condition. The examination was then brought to a close, Mr. McEwen having invited all present to. return at seven o'clock in the \even- ing. Before the apaointed hou_r the school room was crawded (over- 200 being present). The evening's perform- ance was then commenced, Mr. J. Green in the chair, who announced the entertainment a sequel to the examine - Um] and for the social benefit of the peoele. A lengthy prOgramme was pre- pared, consisting of music, readings, recitations, dialogues, e.nd a debate. A very pleasant and Profitable evening w spent, all seemed to enjoy them- sel e I splendidly. The manner in whi h- - the scholars . and all who took par in the programme acauiLted thene- selves. was very creditable. The subject _ of debate was, "Resolved, that Robark Burns was a greater poet than Sir - Walter Scott." The affirmative wag sustained by Messrs. Gemmill • . Walker, and the negative by Messrs. - McEvten and McPherson. The decision . was given in favor of the negative by the judges, Messrs. J. Green, Jas. Hen- ning and W. Powell. At the close -of _ the evening's performance a vote of - thanks was tendered to the choir for - the able manner in which they furnish. - ed the music for the evening, which was well responded to by Mr. D. Gem - mill, leader of the choir.
