INDIGNATION 1N Moncton, —The Railway employes of Moncton are dissatisfied with some of the “bosses.” One of the latter was hung in effigy, and an _ indignation meeting was heid at which one speaker said: —

“ [am prepared to prove tkat there are bosses in the Government works at Monc« ton, who oversee and abuse its employes when they [the bosses] are staggering about the buildings beastly drunk.”

Busy Day.—Messrs. Horne, Pierce & Co, had consigned to them, per the S, S. Carroll, from Boston,on Wednesday last, twenty-seven Walter A. Wood Mowing Machines, They had then on hand three, making in all thirty machines. They sold the whole iot the same day, delivered the most of them, and had orders for eight more. They have this year sold fifty of the Wooi Mowing Machines advers tized in our columns. This shows the ad-« vantage of advertizing in a paper that everybody reads,

Lanceny.—On Wednesday night & sailor named McDonald, in company with a young “corner loafer,’ both slightly ins toxicated, entered the brig Zerlina, at Peake’s No. 1 Wharf, made their own a small bag of seaman’s clothing, and were quietly leaving when accosted by the Cap tain, who ordered them to leave the cloth- ing. They resisted, and the young roughs escaped to the wharf, fired and struck the Captain on the neck with a stone. Com- plaint was made at the Police office, and McDonald was arrested and brought before the Magistrate yesterday morning. He re- ceived two months’ imprisonment with hard labor,

QUERY.

Mer, Epiror,—Will you kindly inform your city readers who the Mr. McKinnon is that issues a card soliciting civic honors ? There are several worthy citizens of that name; but the question of enquiry is who from among them aspires to become a City Father ?

In his Card he uses the hackneyed phrase that he is ‘* urged by a number of influen- tial citizens,’ ete. The truth of this will be but known after the election. Again, this Mr. McKinnon will, of course, keep down the expenditure of the city. We would all expect him to say so at all events. This wise man also tells us that as to the water question, ‘‘He shall not support any measure for its introduction, until it shall have commended itself to mis judgment as being thoroughly practical.’’ No matter how much the citizens may desire a copious supply of pure water, Mr. McKinnon will not let them have any until unis profound judgment is matured on the question. No matter what the ravages of fire; no matter what diseases, what suffer. ing from panic or sickness, what loss of health—in a word, no matter what calamity may befal citizens for the want of pure water, no such inestimable boon shall tiey enjoyif they elect Mr. McKinnon, until he, in his wisdom, shall see fit.

MOWING AND REAPING =MACHINE,

SE neEERnREEEeenemeneeneel

Mr. Booru:

Sir,—I am sorry that my letter in the EXAMINER took such effect on you, and brought tears to your eyes 80 you could not see tO answer mine till nearly three long weeks had e.apsed. If I thought that it would have taken such effect on you as it did; [ would not have written it. But you must bear in mind that ‘‘people living in glass houses should not throw the first stone.”

When you got your eyes open so you could see to write, why did you not answer my letter to you, and not go back to years gone by? Why did you not go back and tell us who'made the first Mowing Machine ? You say that we sold the old played-out Sweepstake Machine as a first-class ma- chine. I can tell you, Mr. Booth, that the WaLTER A. Woop M. & R. M. Co. manu- tactures and sells more of the old played- out Machines, as you call them, than the Champion manufactures altogether, let alone the large number of Sweep-rake Ma- chines (same as we now sell). You say that we deceived the farmers by selling them a Machine that had a self binder at- tachment. That is an untruth. What we did say,and will say again, was that there was “a binding atlachment toit; bul it would not answer our breken down grain; but ifany person wished to have one to cut their wheat and standing grain, we would order one for them.’ That is the only thing grieves you, to think that the Wood Machines take the lead through the world, with the self-binders and also the reapers. You say that it is impossible to get a self- binder. ~I would like for you, when you have nothing to do this winter but spend the money that you got from the farmers, to take a trip to Wa.ter A+ WoopM & R, M. Co. Manuractory and seeif it is im- possple, and ask them how many thousand Self-binders they have manufactured and sold, and all giving good satisfaction. You say why not publish the names of these who got the Sweep Stake? We are not salling that Machine now. You say that it is an ‘‘old played out Machine.”’ If thatis true how was it that the same old Machine took the first prize at the trial of Mowers on the Stock Farm in the summer of 1875 over the Champion. We have all the names of the Farmers that have the same Machine that we are selling at the present time; and every man signed his own name. We did not sign their names, same as you did. You have pames on your list that would not have signed your paper if you had asked them.

Why don’t you publish the names of those that returned the Champion fast season, and also the parties that had to geta boy to carry cold water to put on the Champion to keep it from catching lire in the field ?

You say that | acknowledged to Mr. Bell, on the public square, that I misrepresented him. That is not so my friend, for there were several farmers there at the time, and can bear me out that Mr. Bell said the Woop Macuine was the lightest draft. He endorsed all that I said in my letter. If you employ flunkeys to carry your tales, tell them to speak the truth, (saw one of your flunkeys on the square at the time.

You say that Mr. Miller speaks the truth. You are the only man | ever heard of that saia he spoke the truth. You say that he has my receipt for $8.00, paid for breakage. I tell you again that is not true. I billed him for $8.00, including the freight wp and down in the steamer, and the expense of a man to bring the machine down (as the burgain was, he was to send the machine back free of charge). Itold him he would have to pay me before I would give him back his notes. Mr. Miller took it so hard and said that he had onlya few dollars about him, I took pity on him, and told him if he would pay me the freight and the man’s ex- penses I would receipt the bill. Se you see, Mr, Booth, that is how he has my re- ceipt for $8.00. 1 wonder if you had the bill at your side when you wrote your letter. |

hope you will practice what you preach.}

But I'm afraid thatit comes from a very bad quarter, judging from the company you keep,

Mr. Booth, you speak of a “little Heathen Chinee game’’—‘‘pulling money in your purse by direct misrepresentation and false- hood unmolested as you did.” I want you to take the beam out of your eye and then you can see to take the mote out of your neigh- bor’s. I always try and pay one hundred cents to the dollar—that is more tlian the Champion Agents door ever did. We never sold a mana machine and charged him ex- tra price for credit; and when the man

signed the notes and went away, took up the notes and _— interlined in the same notes ‘**WitH InyTeReEst ?”

Can you answer that Mr. Booth? Who was it that took from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars from the firm of WaLtEer A. Woop M & R. M. Co. some years ago; and, in a few years after, went back and asked them for the agency of the Woed Machine? Can you answer that Mr. Booth? Who wasit that took twenty thousand dollars out of the Buckeye Manufacturing Co., and they got themselves whitewashed over so that they

could not do anything, and went bick in a few days and offered them a few dollars as & compromise ? like to have answered by you, for I think that you have heard about this before, or any person that could give me and the Farmers

from them, they will see tbat their is no in-

terest interlined iu their na ses.

As for Mr. Miller’s*ietter a is just the same trash that he has got the Champion Agents to write, and [ answered in my last, [will let the farmers who bave the Wood

Machine judge how much he knows about Machine, Now for some more of Mr. Mil- ler’s judgment.

In a letter to the Champion bewspaper,

Mr. Miller states that he received from Mac- kenzie & Stumbles a Pulverizing Jlarrow, upon the terms thatif it did not please hin

he might return it. The Harrow was return- ed, and no good reason given for sending it back. Messrs. Mackenzie & Stumbles have sold over sixty of those Harrows, anid in every instance where they have been tried, they nave given the utmost satisfaction, Farmers who have them say that if the Mar- rows could not be repleced, they would not take three times the price of them, The on'y instance where one of the machines was returned was that by Mr. Miller. The con- clusion which every thinking person must arrive at is, that Mr. Miller must be more particuler and harder to please than any other farmer, or that he has returned the Harrow for the purpose of injuring the sale ofthe machines. We ask Mr. Miller why does he goto the trouble of publishing the fact, if the latter was not his motive ?

Now, farmers, we are not the only ones that Mr. Miller bas tried to injure But it is just like throwing wateron a ducks back [coming from Mr, Miller;) for any person that know him, will say the same.

I will conclude for this time, hoping, Mr. Booth, you will answer those questions soon;

the full particulars of these questions. You say that you have to pay your own printing, I suppose every honest man has to do that. But it comes harder on you for you to pay your own and others; for | am sure that Mr Miller never paid for the letters that he signed for you. Andif you give him as many doilars worth of Mowing Machine Extras for every letter that you say Mr. Mil- ler wrote to you as you give Mr. Bell for his short letter, it will cost you a large sum of money to pay your bill of printing. Sol have the advantage cf you here. It oaly eosts me the printing. Hoping to hear from you soon, [ remain youes very truly, ALEXANDER HORNE.
