Richardson To the Editor of Tkt AJeante. DBAK SIK. Kindly make the follow- ing correction aiid explanation : Through a niisfiun'lentaiidiiig Mr. (ieorge Siuw art's name was placed on the prize list an president of the above society. In justice to Mr. Stewart wo would say, Mr Stewart lint; unwell at tlie nine of the annual inei-ting was uii.thln to attend. Krii'Wing hint tv b a K> od man for the punition he was elected without his con- st-lit. Informing him >me lime sftt r of his election he informed me that whilst in sympathy with the fair, for reasons which he considered sufficient, and alito on accouni of his preou-ion* health, he could not n-o his way to atiaiHt in the duties pertaining to the position. At a subsequent meeting < f tlio board of directors, knowing (he mutter having t'f'ii brought before their notice although rc^rettiuij that Mr. Stewart did not ap- pear to see his way to coiiRt'iit to act, yet it was thought by pla>'ini> his name on tho prize list we might induce linn to, aibtunie the aforesaid duties. He in forms me, known.g *h.it he still adheres t" his former position, namely, that he cannot see his way to act president,' although tli.mkfui to the friends who rnw tit to nlaci- him in the honorable position. yet absolutely declm. a afuiiiiiiinit the duties pertaining to the position. H J. SFROVLB, secretary. The Belleville Ontario tells its readers how the formers in that locality arecangbt on tbe "stove scheme." It says "A couple of agents for a Toronto stove firm will go to a fanner and try and sell h.m a kitchen rsntji- for $o<l Tho fanner don't w.in't it. But the aycnt h;u a iniichty fine thing ; he will Uke the farmeris* ! stove and allow him f 12 for it, and the agents will board at hiit place for two weeks and pay him 110 a week for them- selvesand horse , now, that's $32 off tho price of the stove. The farmer thinks he'll take it. Thun the willy agents per- ' su.ide him to sign s note for the full , amount of the range, 900. This la alii they w*nt and thsy never lake the stove way or wait to board a: $10 a week." j A horse and Imttuy was stolen from A Hanover liveryman two weeks ago. Two days later the thief abandoned the outfr. on an unfrwjuen'ed roadway near Alton. He was considerate eimuuli to unliiii ness the liorsv.and ihe aniinal browsrd nround tho buggy for three r four days before heiin: taken in by Allan Maxwell.
