The day was very fine,_and a large concourse of people were gathered togethen The ploughing match was excellent, there beingupwurds 0t 24 entries. We are persuaded the judges had a very difficult task to perform, for we heard many say that the ploughing was far superior to that. of any former year, and re- flects the greatest credit on the successful, and also the unsuccess- fulploughmen. We were pleased to see so many of the prizes taken by the Markham plOughmen. The stock . of and upattle were not so numerous "as one Could have wished, still there were exhibited some very fine stallions and mares.

This letter, addressed to you, is followed by another addressed to myself, in which Mr. Barker, after eXpress- ing his Very warm regard for me person- ally, gives the following as the. grounds of his complaint. lie says:‘â€"â€"“ My present object is to correct a statement wilfully and deliberately made to injure and which ellects my standing with others. in the last'Ew/iomist 315i March, you wind up ‘an article headed ‘ ivlarltham Agricultural Soorety,’ by stating that fair.

But read 3 the ‘f article _ . special : Secretary-'l‘reasurer, that: “ he denies the statement in toto,” land to give force to his denial, adds some very eloquent phi-zoos, with a view, proba- bly, of-enlightening the public as to the true character of the Editor Ofthe Econo» 'Inisli. Now, Mr. Editor, since you have. published i‘i'lr. Barker’s attack on me, I trust you will also publish, with this comâ€" munication, the article which appeared in the Economist of the Sist ult., of which Mr. Barker complains, and then the public will be able to form a correct estimate of Mr. Barker’s veracity, as they have no doubtalready done of his literary attaim merits. llitherto Mr. Barker’s opinion of my humble Si‘ll and of the Economist has been freely expressed on many Occasions, with quite as little loundation for tzuth as in the present instance, yet i have not pub- ly contradicted him. 1 find, however, to allow statements to go uncontradictcd, (as Ilmva too often done.) no matter how absurd and inconsistent in themselves, is not always Safe, since, by the desrgns 01 some and weakness of others, a wrong imâ€"~ pression may go abroad. Some tliroe months ago there appeared in the. Comâ€" monwealth a communication over the sig-‘ nature of Thomas Sirm’nonds, grossly per- vcrting the truth and personally offensive to’myself, while that journal, at the same time, ignored the statement in the E00720- mist, referring to the same case, and which was basall entirely on Official documents ' andgfree.frpntfipersonalities.. The state- , ment of Mr. Simmonds 1 treated with contempt, and I have no doubt Mr. Barker thought 1 would treat his letter in the same. mannar, and that he would thereby secure in his behalf the aid and sympathy (if the classes to which I have referred. ' ft is on this ground, therefore, that I ask -the use ofyOur valuable space in the pre- sent instance. To all persons of intelligence who have taken any interest in the questions at issue, Mr. Barker’s, like Mr. Sitnmond’s letter, needs no contradiction. I trust your read- ers,. nevertheless, will examine care lly the “ article,” as Mr. Barker terms it, ut which in reality is simply a short report of an Agricultural meeting, which appeared in the Economist of the 315t ult., a Copy ofnhich I herewith enclose, and which Mr. _ Barker strangst enough construesI intoa personal attack on himself. ler. Barker’s warmest friends can discover in; this report anything like a personal design on the part' of the Editor of the Econo- mist, they must be as “ clear headed” as Air.- Barker himself. Indeed, Mr. Editor, . it is with muchditliculty that 1 could satisfy linyself of the propriety of noticing such ai literary gem at all, and certainly should, not have done so, were it not for the rea- sons I have already mentioned.

EAKIN, thatth President be authorised to invite the several Brass Bands in the Town- ship to be present on the occasion of tho Farr, to he held at Unionville, on the 26th of April. " We are unable to report in full the pro- ceedings of this meeting. It is sufficient to say that the object was fully ao‘cumplisliod ; and Mr. Barker, tho ox-l’resident, who was present, agreed to examine the Looks, and aid in making out and certify to a report of this Society for 15.38, as he was their the acting President, and the only proper officer to give such certificate. Since the meeting“ we understand this work has boon done, and the Report forwarded, Mr. G. Miller said that Mr. Barker and himself did their best- in favour of the County Society receiving the Report when it was presented at t‘ ilU County Meeting; but that the other directors would not allow it. “ The meeting thon adjourned.” 1 think, Sir, after reading the above that you will agree with me that Mr. Barker never anticipated that any notice would be . taken of his letter, and that by its being passed unnoticed he might induce some persons to believe that’he really had been unfairly dealt wrth. W'hat confirms me the more in this opinion, is the fact of Mr- Barker having ordered at your office (so I. I am informed by his friends here,) some, 50 or 100 extra copies of your paper contain- ing his letter, in order that his elegant opistle might be sent where my answer (if I. should make one) could not reach it. it may be, liowever, that as Mr. Barker is a very generous man, willing to intact me when. where and how i like, that he will be kind enough to send to his friends as many cOpies of the paper containing this communication, as he did of the isssue con- taining his letter. i trust he Will not miss» so favourable an opportunity of exhibiting his high sense of propriety. Should he fail, however, to do so, i. Will try to sup- ply tlie extras at my own expense, so that upon the whole, be will probably acquire ‘ as much fame as he desires, and which, no doubt, will go a long way to lighten the 4 pile of agouy" that has been crushing him so severely, on account of his conncc~ tion with the ‘- E. ll.

We stop the press to announce one of the most cold-blooded atrocities which it has ever been our lot to record. The Mail Carrier betwuen Paris and Brent- ford, leaving Paris each evening about 9 O‘clOttk, Wits last ' night Way-laitlabout :1 mile West of‘ihe first, toll gate and coolly shot down, and the mail bags cut open and rifled of their contents. He must have been killed instantaneously. From the appearance of the wound, we think the shot was fired from a double-barrelled gun loaded with grape. The charge en- tered the left side of the head, carrying away it large piece of a grey fur cap which the unfortunate man wore. As soon as tho butchery was cottlmllicd, the bags must have been taken into the ravine between the road and the railway track, for" a large number of ethalopes and opened letters were there found by Mr. John Wood, strctved in all direc tions. The lock of the bag was also found in apool of Water. The body was found. lying on the c'eclivity. leading to the ra- vine, fare upwards, presenting a most horrid‘spcclacle, where it- had doubtless been laid after the deed was committed. The horse and wagon were found this morning standing on the road side. and blood was seen smeared over the road and wagon, which excited suspicion, and led’ to‘the search which resulted in the find- ing of the body as above described. The Carrier’s name who has thus been ' so inhnmanly murdered is Adams, and is,, we should think, betwaen 50 and 60 years of age. The time when the deed was commitâ€" ted must have been about .10 o’clOck last night, at‘ about that hour shots were heard 3 by a boy in Mr. Good‘s employ. As far as we have heard no trace of the cold-blooded murderers has yet been found. The Coroner, Mr. G. Balfour, is nowon his way to the scene. ' ‘. rants have/been issued fur the arrest of two individuals npon whom suspicion tests, and oliicers are now in pursuit.‘ ' FURTHER PARTICULARS. Brantfoijd, April 16.

He is grizzled, cadaver-nus, and lame in the left hip, and labors. to conceal this last defect. His “all; is awkward. He turns out his tot-rs, and leans heavily on the strong Stick he carries in his trell- gloved hand. He carefully dressed; but, though his coat fits very aCcuratcly, he has. nothing of the air ofa perfectly dressed man. Hisfigure is not improved by the cuirass which his coat will not con- ceal.

Whilst we had the pleasure ofspenr‘ing a few hours with him last week, we little anticipated this mur- dorous attack. What astute of society exists at the present time when such dark deeds can be committed in a Christian community. We are of the opinion that the wretcth will "not escape with impunity ; surely the , St. Thomas people will hestir themselves and bring the blood~tl1irsly and dastardly rullians to condlgn punishment. In con‘- clusion, it is a morcy from God that the ltev. Mr. Franchon still lives, and the objotit contemplated has been averted- by ‘ Divine interference.
