We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or statements of our correspondents.
My Dear Qvuir,—You will kindly pardon my familiarity, but I am so partial to Dickens’ characters that I cannot desist from using their names whenever I can apply them with any degree of propriety. I fear you have grown impatient of a reply te yours of the 10th. I should have made earlier acknowledgments ; but I have been very busy getting up those intercepted letters for the Patrict. By the way, what do you think of those letters? I thought when writing them that they would be masterpieces in their way ; but, candidly speaking, I dun’t like them in print. But then very few authors are quite pleased with themselves in print. Some of my friends here tell me that I am belittling myself very much by this sort of thing. What do you think about it? I rely much upon your judgment in this matter. You know that you are as deep in this thingas I. I believe your stab at the Minister wasa mistake. I fear it will have a bad effect. He is very popular, and se gentlemanly in his de-
'meanor, that it is really too bad to black- ‘guard him in that way. Again, it will do you no good if you are found out, for | am ,told he has many friends in Montague. |Are you in the cenfidence of any level jheads over there? If so, let me know ; what is their epinion of professional chips ‘like us being at this kind of thing. You ‘know, my dear Quilp, I want to annoy | Fhone other chaps ; and I see no other way.
If I attempt anything over my signature, {Tam snubbed at onee; and if I attempt ‘any kind of @ speech, the Examiner gets ‘hold ef it and exposes me immediately. | And what am I to do? Let things go by ‘default? No, sir, not a bit of it. I jthought this intercepted letter business rather a clever device. You know you might anney the Montague worthy, and I iwould attend to my own rival here. | Capital, this, if it works,eh? Mamya ‘writer in the States became famous at this kind of work, and who knows what ! may accomplish yet. But be eandid, Quilp, pene do you think of my coming out again ? {Drop me a postal at ence, saying ‘‘ yes” or |‘*no,” and sign it‘‘Q.” I shall know {from whom it comes. No matter about being read in the Post Office. They are with us !
I regret that you have not been more lexplieit on the policy question. You re- jmember I asked you distinctly if you could ‘suggest anew hobby to canvass on. Iam fairly tired of this darn’d N. P. affair. It is getting stale, and besides I don’t quite

thing over in my wind, and I cannot see how they can push me aside. No, Sir. I'll fight for my rights. Again, I have been canvassing ever since the last election, and my friends are not likely to vote for any rival of mine. There are many here who have some faith in me as a statesman. [ fancy vou'll snicker at this, but, neverthe- Jess itis so. There are men in this county, Quilp, who actually believe that I had something to do with the getting of that big grant for Soucis Breakwater. And 1 here entreat you, as my friend and colleague, to keep this thing before the people as much as you can, and I shall not neglect your interests here. You need have no doubts about your nomination. You are certainly the coming man. I see it plainer and
plainer every day. I never liked Malcolm. He does not take up this way at all) He floored me once, and I am not going to risk him again, if I can help it. Can’t ycu put some friends on his track to dissuale him against coming out and leaving his lucrative business.
Please write soon, and speak your mind freely. No danger of interception. Pust Office all right.
With kind regards to Mr. Manoah, and other faithful friends in that section, I remain, my dear Quilp,
Faithfully yours, P. ADoLPHTS.

Sheep Raising on Smali Farms. The importance of sheep husbandry as ene of the ‘diversified industries’ of a amall farm is not as fully understood in this couatry as it ought to be, although there is apparently a growing appre- ciatien of its value. Experiance has shewn that no branch ef agriculture presents greater inducements to a man of small means than this, if be brings to the management of it the same degree and industry and skill that he must exercise to make any kind ofa farming prefitable. Especially is this, the ease when the soil of the farm naturally good, has run down in con- sequence of bad management. Such land, as repeated experiments have clearly demonstrated, can ve restored to fertility through the agency of a flock ot sheep with surprising rapidity, and at less cest, probably, than aay ether means.
A reocnt writer estimates thaton a farm suitable for their keeping—that is, where mixed farming is practiced—
‘sheep ought to pry a yearly prefit of
100 percent. It would not probably
.understand the thing myself. And you
offence, but you know you don’t under- stand those trade questions either. It cannot be expected of us. It is not in our line. But we naust pretend to be well- posted, and keep a bold front, or we are done for. Why, if I talk with a merchant about it, he flies into a passion, then cools off and quotes prices for ms. He fumbles through his Invoice .Beok and turns to me with an air of triumph, saying that it deesn’t matter, but intimates very plainly that I don’t quite see threugh the thing. /This galls me to the quick. It would gall any man. When | tell a countrymen how the National Policy is ruining this country, it is just as bad. He wants to know how it is that business is brisker, goods cheaper, and produce markets better now than when McKenzie ran the machine! I endeavor to show him, but he is so infer- nally thick-headed, 1 cannot make it plain to him. He puts all sorts of questions to me, and presists in his arguments until I lose all patience with him. Then you Know its all over with me. I must insult that man and leave. No, no, my dear Guilp, there is no use in talking. We have no Policy or Platform to work on. Of course we can do a good deal by abusing the Gevernment members, but then we should have some special hobby for certain districts. I thought we might enthuse a little on this Fishery Award business. But you remember hew Blake shirked that issue here last summer. Your remarks about Blake are very apt. I quite agree with you that his visit here was a blunder from beginning to end. Bad cess to him ! I hate to hear that man’s name mentiuned. You remember that Georgetown affair / Of course you must, as you read the address. Well, I blame Blake for the whole of it. I was as well prepared leaving home that morning as a man could possibly be. I had fully anticipated the possibility of my being called upen, and I prepared my piece. I could even recite it on my way to the meeting ; but, listening to those long, tough speeches over there, I became confused, and when it came my turn to speak, blast the word of my piece I could remember. You knuw the rest !
Oh! my dear Quilp, there is no use in talking about a man practising before mir- rors, and filling his mouth with pebbles, and all this stuff. It is all moonshine. You must know what you are talking about, these days, if you wish to succeed asa speaker. I have had long and bitter ex- perience in this thing. I have never yet attempted to speak in public but I found it up-hill work from this very cause.
I can’t agree with you about the Patriot I wish tc heavens ft was what you think it is. I tell you in confidence, it has no in- fluence—positively, no influence whatever. I don’t object because it is vulgar and abusive, I rather relish that kind of thing myself; but the people don’t want the Patriet; they won’t have it. Bless your

will forgive me, Quilp, for I mean no;
require very é¢areful management ins deed, or unusually favorable conditions, to realize so good a return as that. Yet a large abatement from that esti- mute would still leave the raising of sheep a very profitable investment.
dustry, much depends, of course, on breed selected, but more, perhaps, than it is generally suppesed, on the amount and character of the feed, and the skill and care bestowed to the flock. There is no money in sheep that are underfed and systematically neglected. Good care and plenty of suitable food are essential te their welfare, and the man who wisely gives them both will be amply repaid for his pains.
A serious difficulty in all parts of the country, especially the more thickly settled regions, grows out of the vast number of useless dogs which roam through the fields at night, and play havoc with uaprotected flock of sucep. One whois unacquainted with the facts weuld be astonished at the enaor- mous annual loss caused by those eanine depredation. But if farmers were beat upon the raising of sheep they would no douht soon be abie, by concerted action, to abate thisuuisance, The growing demandfor mutton of a fine quality and the enlarged facilities for the transportation of animals and meat to the great cen'rer of trade, ought to stir up the minds of farmers ef moderate means to the importance ef adding this source of profit to those they already possess.
The feeling threughout Cunada is that Mr. Blake injured bimselt ia public estimation when he spoke so scornfaily of the honour of Knighthood proifered him by the Queen. [t was epen to Mr. Biake to scorn, as much as his courage would allow him todo in the presence of Sir Charles Tupper, those who in Canada had been made the reci- pieats ef the honour. But when he seorsed the honour, he scorned her who is the fountain ef honour; and that, te say the least of it, is a sad mis- take fer any public man in Canada to make, Nething will dull the edge of enthusiasm for any man quicker than for him thus gratuitously to insult the Queen, from whom the-e honours tow.
