To the Kditor of the Examiner.
Dear Sin,—Fair criticism is never cb- jected to on any public question. On the contrary, it is necessary and wholesome. There are certain qualities, however, which should be possessed by any person who constitutes himself a critic, viz: a knowl- edge of the subject upon which he writes, fability to write the English language cor- rectly, and a courteous and gentlemanly manner of treating his fellowmen. The writer in the Examiner of the 10th inst., referring tome andthe people of Fort Augustus, possesses none of those quali- ties. Under a fictitious name he unwar- rantably assails me in a base and malicious manner, and nefariously maligns the people of Fort Augustus for what he terms their ‘* dishonest practices.” But I tell him he will find his attempts, at either, ever vain and impotent I defy him to preve one of his scornful assertions over his own sig- nature, ~I despise such mean, masked slanderers, and 1 dare him to come to the suriace. I am sure Fort Augustus never produced him, claimed him, or owned him. | take him to be some unfertunate, jilted, halfwitted coxcomb, whe never had a re- putation himself, and who does not know the value of other men’s good name. I warn him to retract and reform ere he be- comes the victim of his own violent passions, and that I will notice no more of his anonymous seribbling,
P. S.—Who wrote the ‘‘Netes from F. A.” I know not.

Canada Temperance Act, 1878.
The public meeting at Crapaud on Tues- day evening was a decided success. The was well filled. Rev. T. W. Johnson, Rector, occupied the chair, and in a short and appropriate address introduced the speakers ef the evening.
Rey. J. S. Painney, in a most impres- sive and earnest address, appealed to those present to vote for, and use their influence in favor of, the Act.
J, B. Cooprr, Esq., of Charlottetown, was the next speaker. He was glad tohave an opportunity to say a few words in favor of the cause in general and the new Tem- perance Act in particular.
Rev. D. G. McDowna.p followed in his usual earnest and eloquent style. He had no donbt about the final result of the present contest. He produced valuable statistics showing the inevitable evils of the liquor traftic and the beneficial effects of prohibition wherever fairly tested.
Rev. E. B. Carry, inaneat and effec- tive speech, sustained the views of the pre- ceding speakers.
Dr. Tremain also followed, showing the advance made by the medical prefession in Britain, by rejecting the use of alcoholic liquors as much as possible in their prac- tice.
A resolution approving of the Act, and pledging their support in favor of it, was carried unanimously.
Live Stock in the Mother Country.
A Scotch paper of the 31st ult.,—kindly furnished by Col. McGill—contains ac- counts of sales of cattle and sheep which will be interesting te farmers :—
SaLE oF THE TrLLEYFouR Herpv.—The dispersion of the celebrated herd of polled cattle reared at Tilleyfour by the late Mr. Wim. M’Combie took place at Tillyfour on Thursday. The leading positien into which this herd has been brought by the skilland energy of the M’Combie family naturally attracted numerous buyers from England, the Centinent, and even Ameri- ca. It was estimated that the sale was attended by from 1200 to 1400 people. The sale altogether was ene of tho most spirited ever held in the North, and some of the highest prices were realised that ever were obtained at asale of breeding stock in Scotland. 28 cows averaged £61 3s 3d ; five two-year-old heifers, 447 I1s 2d; eight yearling heifers, £38 17s; 15 heifer calves, £32 13s 9d; and 14 bulls, £43 17s 6d. 18 polled cows, without pedigree, averaged £23 12s 6d; 6 yearling and two- year-old heifers, £17 133 3d; and 6 calves, £15 1s. The pedigreed animals averaged over all £48 1s. 6d. The total proceeds of the sale amounted £3,987 17.
Sate or Lamps aT CARLISLE.—On Wed- nesday, at the auction marts in Carlisle, special sales of lambs teok place with the view of forestalling the annual fair. At Harrison’s mart about 10,000 three-parts bred, half-bred and crosses passed below the hammer, and also about 1000 Cheviots. Trade was brisk, and prices firm. The lambs were in good condition. Three- parts-bred were makingfrom 33s 6d to 25s; half-breeds, from 32s to 23s; crosses, from 18s to 25; and Cheviots, from 15s to 22s. At Hetherington’s mart about 3000 lambs were sold, and there was also a capital sale. Three-parts-bred brought from 32s to 24s; half-breeds, from Jls to 23s; and Cheviots from 13s 6d upwards.

MARKETS.
Monrreat, Sept. 10.
The Gazette reports »—‘* The briskness of fali trade was conspicucusly indicated to- day, by the crowded condition of Bonse- cours market and the large business done in the aggregate. Farmers came up from long distances with their waggons, which were well filled with every conceivable des- cription of farm produce in season. Mar- ket gardeners also brought in an abundance of supplies which met with a good demand — at very reasonable prices. Flour dealers reported an improved retail enyniry at $3,- 05 to $3.19 per bag Hf 100 Ibs. Some busi- ness occurred in buckwheat flour at $1.85 to $1.90 per 100 lbs ; oatmeal sold at $2.30 to $2.40 do., and cornmeal at $1.30 to $1,- 40 do. Bran was in fair request at 80c to 85c per bushel, and a number of small par- cals were taken by farmers at those prices. The offerings of grain showed quite an in- crease npon those of last Tuesday, oats being the principal kind selling. Old oats brought from 75e to 80c per bag of two bushels, and new from 80c to 85e as to quality, a few very tine samples being held for 90c, but they did not realize it. Ocean freights are plentiful, and rates are low, engagements having been made at 3s for heavy grain to London and 3s 3d_ to Liver- pool, by steamer. Oats have also been taken at 3s to Liverpool, which is remark- ably low. The egg market in Boston and New York remains very firm with an up- ward tendency in values, Canadian stock being quoted in the former market at 17e tol7hc per dozen, and in the latter at 18¢ to 184c.

The butter market was quiet to day, and holders were now quite as confident as they were a few daya ago; in fact some are begin- ning to feel like letting their goods get at concessions. The enly transactions we heard of to-day was the sale of 150 pkgs of Western stuff at 184c. The money market is without change, the rates of discount and stock loans being easy at last quoted rates. Sterling exchange is sold at 8} prem per round amounts, 8{ 8{ prem cash over the counter. Decumentary and Preduce bills are worth 72 prem. Drafts on New York drawn at } prem’
Shippers at Montreal are paying 5c. to S}e. per lb. for cattle, and 44c. to Sc. per Ib, for sheep. The experts for the week were 2,007 cattle, and 2,027 sheep, as against 1,283 cat- tle and 507 sheep the previous week,
St, Joun, N, B., Sept. 14.
Porarors.—The market remains very dull and prices low. Good stock commands 75 to 80c. per barrel readily. Poor unselected stock sells slow at 66 to 70c. There seems to be very little prospect of a shipping demand this season.
Eces.—There is a good demand for fresh stock at 13 to 13hce. We were in hopes that the stock of eld held eggs was disposed of ; but as the demand improves they seem to in- crease. Wew.sh shippers would find some other market for such stock, They are very unsatisfactory and we do not wish to handle them.
OysrERS.—The market is overstocked from P. E, Island, and very little demand. Well selected stock sells readily at $2 per barrel, As a general thing there is too httle care in putting them up and a great deal of trash gets in a barrel. Such stock does not pay to ship, Much the same may be said of Buctouche, which sell at $2 to $2.25.
Oars.—The receipts of new have been quite large during the week and prices fallen con- siderably, with market dull. We quote: New, 36 to 38 cts; old, 38 to 40 cts., with a prospect of still lewer prices,
Says a Paris cablegram to the New York Evening Telegram:-—The subject which en- grosses public attention here and through- out the Continent is the enormous exporta- tion of gold to America. Notwithstanding the efforts mede to arrest its outflow from Germany by raising the rate of discount, the limited payment af gold to certain centres of disbursement and the slowness with which even there it is counted out in single pieces, the exportation is assu- ming alarming proportions. The steamer that left Hamburg on the 4th inst., took out three million marks; the steamer of the 9th took out nearly three millions more and Saturday’s Hamburg steamer, which calls at Havre, will probably take out be- tween four and five millions marks.

Mark Twain as A Rerorrer.-—Writing of himself and his friend, Dan de Quille, his collaborateur, on the Nevada paper, in 1863, Mark Twain says, in an advertise- ment of the Territorial Enterprise: ** Our duty is to keep the universe thoreughly posted concerning murders, and street- fights, and balls, and theatres, and pack- trains, and churches, and lectures, and school houses, and city millitary afiairs, and highway robberies, and Bible societies and hay wagons, and the thousand other things which it is within the providence of local reporters te keep track ef, and mag- nify into undue importance, for the in- struction of the readers of a great daily newspaper. Beyond this revelation, every- thing connected with these two experiments of Providence must forever remain an im- penetrable mystery.
