These will be filled in the order which they they are received, as far as it is possible to meet the dcmaud.using our best judg- ment in selecting suitable varieties for the various sections.

DBAR SIB: Kindly allow me to make a few remarks concerning some insinuation* which C'.H. Stewart has -".Inown out regarding luilk tcul by mo to his factory. lie came over to my place and complained that the iuilk4ested only 8, 3 and 10 i*-r cent. n jH-ctively, on tach of the precccd- ing days, and as the COWB were just being :nilked I usk.-d him throe times to gj over and test the milk, but he did not do so. I called in a few days at the factory and he reported the milk all ri^ht, but in about two weeks he came hack and complained that one can tested 14 IKT cent., while the other only ('.-ttd 7 per ccr.l The difference as I then told him was canned by taking u pail full of milk, on account of leak- ing, out of the 7 per cent, can nficr it had stood over niglit and uniting it into the 14 per cent, can. The per- centage of cream verities my state- UK lit. If jon take the average of tin- two cans, 10J per cent., it gives just what C. H. tiUwart himself says tha milk was testing, vi/. : from 10 to 12 per cent., for as the 14 per cent can contained twice as much milk as the 7 per cent, ciui.had it been mixed the percentage of cream would be over 11 per cent. I asked him again that evening to test the milk, but In did not do so. I stated that I, as well as the other members of the family, were leady to take oath that to the best of our knowledge the milk always leaves the milk stand as tho co'vs c\e it. The cows arc pasturing on low marshy land and may not give as lich milk as those on higher ground. His blatcments were made entirely without testing the milk, except that he took a bottle home with him aud tuid it tested H pur cent. He also agreed to test milk regularly every morning to ascertain if possible what was wrong nrl how much it varied, but this he did not do, and lie now cays he is not required to test every moiniug, yet liis wurd is all I have lor it that my milk varied from B to 12 per cent. I sounder (MI. Stewart IIUH not treated m<: in a gentlemanly manner, not to speak of a Christian spint. and now there arc two courses 01*11 to him, eilbcr to withdraw his insinuation or ]>ru i >-u te Hccording to law.

There were several very F. thunder storms during the past weak. Tin lightniii^ wai something awful. With the exception of a few trees struck and grain laid flat, there was no benous damage done, although other places around did not escape BO well. Mr. Joseph Fonwick's little son met with a sevrr accident oil Tuesday evening as tho thunder storm came on. lie took one of the horses out to water at the Beaver river. The light- ning struck the water and siumied the boy, causing him to fall into tho water. The horse dragged him over the river, which is pretty deep at the Uiil;.! and full of largo stones. All thought the child was killed, but uu- der the skillful treatment of 1 >r. Carter he is likely to recover, although badly burned. The school haft commenced. There is great rejoicing among the scholars at the return of their former favorite teacher, Mr. David Wright. I think ho will be sure of a good attendance, as I am informed some of our young Indies arc going to avail themselves of his tuition. Hotter look out, Mr. Teacher. We Lave had a good share of visit- ors from the city this season. Among them was Mr. Charles Jordan, of tho Union House, Mr. Thomas Spcncu and family, Mr. Will Purvis, Miss Pool and Mrs. Crockett, of West Tor- onto Junction. Home of our yonng folk went out near Maxwell to gather huckleberries one day last week. They got such a lot they wore scarcely able to get thorn home, but then they were hustleis and had no girls with them. Mr. John Williams got his orchard pi itv badly wrecked by the storm on Monday night of last week. Mr. i'ii ley got his hay stack blown over. Mr. Robert Campbell got several fine fruit trees badly smashed in his orch- ard, also. \lm .-I every one had some slight damage done, but fortu- nately there was no loss <>f life,so that wn hav great reason to bo thankful to tho Giver of all Good for His pro- tecting care over ua during the dread- ful storms that have passed over the country.
