Epitok, â€" For reasons Ineednot name, I with great rela"-tance, notice Mr. EJiiott's orotix. and to a considerable cxt«nt«irreTaient, letterâ€" and but for its notable contortions, gnd incidental accomplices, â€" no reply would be necessarjâ€" perhaps it is not generally known that ^he -Union Standard" of Tnom- bary and Bob Myies, have been playing the same game, and appealed to the Ex-Deputy Beeve of Artemesia, for advice â€" heuce, I bare the transparent, Lively triplet Elliottl Miles aud tar A-ell, to do, what any honorable person disdains â€" What evidcDtly g^ves point to Elliott's extraordinary, production is liis recent, defeat, he illy brooks its crushing effect, and is out of sorts, because the Town- ship thinks less of Km than he thinks uf him- self â€" The Beeves cliair has been bis ambition, for yearsâ€" and if by any means he could (laaiage. his character, he seems to be any- toUy's humble servant â€" ^But I shall show he has written without connting the cost â€" ^^He gays, the "celebrated letter' "was written by me, as a public one"â€" of which, however, I Lave no knowledge â€" The lettei was a sealed tins loBM the benditot gadi tains as may have faUan moeh sooner than, with' eheltac, would have been the case. There is, too, another an«l very important caose. The presence of woods tends so to distribate the yearly rainfall, as to glTe, doling the growing season, many refreshing showers â€" showers which woold otherwise have added their amount to the heavy rains of spring and summer which are of eoorse,, not so valuable. These reasons have given foundations for the statement made by those who have con- sidered the subject that a country one-third or even one-fonrJi in woods will give more crops with less labnr than one totally cleared. I woold suggest that it should « the en- deavour of every one to keep some portion of forest on his farm. To do this, it will be found of very great assistance to exclude cattle. If necessary a portion of jroods may be reserved for them, but not the portion it -WHERE- oneâ€" it was addressed to A. Elliott only â€" I jg intended should remain in permanent .Bimply one councillor to another-.it contained L^^^^j ^^j^ j^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ 4^vi^ons to a conversation witli a third party " 4^vi^ons to a conversation witli a third party and which "pinched" as he alleges-it contained uo authority, for inspection or transference to a third party. It contained certain promises, oi obhgations from myself â€" viz. to support a motion in Council, for "a grant" â€" the grant had been previously spoken of, in his presence at the Council board, viz. 8 100 â€" Bat for reasoiis, directly to be mentioned, this innocent Deputy â€" requires "special marks" â€" t.o-.denolc;l3 privacy. The Council remem- bers, and he remembers, that in his presence, the Keeve, spoke of and explained thoroughly, regarding;, this communication adressed to iiim â€" Then it wasA private letter to ail in- dents and purpose? â€" no one thought of it in â- any other aspuct â€" Would'nt a considerate councillor, [Lave seizeu the opportunity, to imprebs his confreres of its import, and possible results and in the face of his allegements,iBhenot guiity of gross derelic- tion â- ? and if such grave consequences were impendiuK â€" should he not have introduced motion, to meet Euphrasia in her expenditure But far from tliis, he did not inform us, that he was a party in letting the workâ€" so under- stood by Mylesâ€" that he Elliott inspected it and gaveiuierm certificates on Euphrasia ior payments â€" which was first learned by ihe writer so late as the trial at Owen Sound. Why were not mterm certihcaies issued against Artemesia, if S3 be, as stoutly argued â€" my letto|rmacle Artemesia equally liable What rational personâ€" whatever might have been ^the uecessitieE â€" would have assumed so large an undertaking without the usual authority Ail the intimation, all the author- ity, cousisied in one soUtai^ and ominous sentence, "they are going on with that work." not we â€" no joint action asked. And not- withstanding it was in hand for months â€" and this representative Councillor supervising it no further information was received â€" until the uotablebillfor the work, he had been direc- ting, was placed upon the Council table â€" One would have thought now that a Uttle man- Imess would have been displayed 1 not a bit ol it â€" Every member, cried sname, at the un reasonable expenditure â€" And my good man went tor repudiation, with the rest of us â€" no motion, nothing to vindicate his subsequent actions was attempted by him. Up to this point, he eviueully was in harmony with his confreresâ€" but a change occurs â€" Euphrasia IS sued â€" The opportune time has arisen, for defamation and treachery â€" the private letter has become a public one â€" the hand of the traitor is seen and contrary to every thing honorable my letter is found passed, to do service against the Council and myselfâ€" and to climaxjthe Doctors rascality, with sinister motives of the most hedious character, he says the Dr. swore that he did not sign the letter as lleeve-^andat same time suppressed, willlully, the fact, that the lapsus, was rectifi- ed there and then and the letter acknowledged in its entirety. I confess I can find uo words equal to the, infamous and open attempt at. the Township's chief officer's character. Which he lor previous, personalfavors, should have deleuded. Not enabled to point his linger to any Municipal irregulaiity or de- fault â€" to hide his own, defects in the matter under discussion, and so prominently set forth he resorts to meanness and deception to fasten the blunders Of him aud his accom- pliees on myself â€"How far he succeeds, the people can judge â€" ^in conclusion, let me say the ruling of the judge, made it clear that they acted injudiciously â€" in opperatiiig with- out authority and procured no weight in this case at court as those who were there, well know â€" Mr. £. disingeniously suppresses the for to mention it â€" would be to reproductive condition, it phonld retain its soft leaf-bed over the ground, and shonld have a great many young trees springing up in all directions ready to replace the older ones in time, and in the meanwhile, Jto pre- vent the forest bed drying np and gettintt into grass, and to shade the trunks of the larger trees from sun and wind. Both of these objects, cattle if allowed admittance, will destroy they will trample and harden the leaf -bed and destroy the young trees. I would also recommend the planting of lines of evergreen trees along the exposed sides of a farm â€" say the north aud west. These have proved of very great service in protecting the fall wheat and clover in winter, by dim- inishing the drifting ot snow, and have also been of much assistance in giving shelter from wind both in winter and summer. Eyergreena are easily propogated if planted in the last week in May or the first ^in June, and care taken to keep the roots covered and mois« between digging and planting. Tours, c., R. W. Phipps.

Bib,â€" I shonld like to address a few words to your readers on a yery important subject â€" that of the relation of forests, woods, or even •of lilies of trees to the fertiUty of the adjacent 'and. It has been thoroughly observed and is a ma»er of history that those countries «uch as Syria, Spain, parts of Italy and Prance, and many another where forested W was altogether or chiefly deprived of its trees, ^ew less and less fertile, some portions '^coming altogetheT: barren. And this being •bceryed, some of these, by replanting, are "^ow, after about fifty years of gradual im- provement, becoming fertile again. The reasons are these. Where a country .^ deprived of its trees, rain falling, passies **ay at once oyer the surface in torrent/i '^rrying with it much of the best soU to the ^6s s,u(j rivers. Where woods abound, Moisture is held for a long period, passing Sradnally away in creeks, water eonrsaa and numerons underground channels of fte **^. thus pret erving the ground its Rreat. *^«stant to grouthâ€" its natufal moisture ^vire, too, there is no shelter fnm rapid ^ds, ground dries out very quickly, and Town Hall, Bufus Wickens, 4^3.40 balance on i^proaches to bridge, George Crinckshanks, $2.50; work on bridge «nd scraper, W.
