These oats are of the White Russian variety and they have grown since the late hail storm. The heads measure 18 inches in length and are heavily loaded with large grain. Ten heads are grown from one ker- nel. Mr. Modeland had 15 acres of oats of this variety this year, and had they not been beatten down and destroyed by the hail, would have been a magnificent crop. Mr. Modeland says they will not rad and 'are the most prolific and profitable variety he has ever grown. • MATRIMONIAL.—A quiet but pretty wed- ding took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James McMichael, Goderich street, Seaforth, on Wednesday morning, when their mice, Miss Marion McMichael, was united in marriage to Mr. John Turner, of this town.'

EXPLANATION.—DEAR ExPOSITOR,—SoMe time ago there appeared in the col emus of several local papers an item under t,ee head- ing " Usborne," whicb reflects upon. my character and does me a gross injuetice. I have delayed replying in the hope that the Professor of music referred to, who: knows how false and misleading are the statements then made, would write a contradiction and correction, as I would not do him the in- justice to suppose that the said Rein was in any way inspired by him. This riot bay- ing been done, I am compelled, reluotantly, to state the facts in the case and leaVe your readers to judge if I am as the correspon- dent says, " A man who bas neither con- science nor principle." The item referred to is so worded as to produce the impreseion that only one quarters lessons were given and that for an occardorial tea at the close 'of the lessons the wholed quarters pay (viz. seven dollars,) was charged. NoW, what are the facts ? Five quarters' lessonel were given, for which the sum of thirty-five dollars was paid—seven for ' each qharter— • S PTEMBER 8, 1899 tI43 usual charge, the Same as was being paid by the neighbors, On his first visit, whee the Profesiter reached our home, it be- ing ate in the afternoim and his horse hail- ing tood (int afternoon, he was asked tp pit afte into giVe net sake flVe if a feed it s as - Cons char not in o ta of si De t the was his horse and stay for tea.
