CORRESPONDENCE.

—— peeps im mae scahansnseamageaetanamiiadantanminaeta ede We do not hold ourselves responsible for the

opinions or statements ef our correspondents,

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srx,—My attention has been direeted to a comunication in the Patriot of the 20th inst., signed ‘* Mechanic.” The author is evidently dissatisfied. His letter is wn- truthful and vindictive. In both it fairly represents the writer.

Mr. ‘‘ Mechanic” never fails to employ every available opportunity to show forth what he calls ‘* the incapacity” of the Supervisor. Yes, Mr. Editor, and when the power of his slimy tongue is exhausted, singing his favorite chorus in the vain hope of convineing the public that he himself is a& paragon of perfection, then he takes his pen and, over some assumed name, sets forth, in glowing language the dangerous condition of bridges, the impassable state of reads; the inca- pacity of centractors, the ignorance of inspecrors, and scores of other imaginary grievances, which his own morbid and dis- ordered imagination has conjured up. Mr. Mechanic possess your little soul in peace. Nobody minds you especially when you are well known.

You say that a large number of persons competed for building the Brudeneil Wharf. Yes; were you among the number? You were. You lost the contract. This is deplored, only by yourself. You say that my tender was $360. This is in keeping with the rest of your unfounded state- ments, and is net worth noticing. You also state that Mr. Campbell said the am- ount ‘* would not buy the material required and that Mr. Ferguson made it his special, business te see me and advised me to witn- draw my tender.” Both statements sounds like fibs of your own casting and affect me but very little. Being one week at work on the wharf and the next at home work- ing on the farm, as you say, ‘‘ Shows I was attending to my own business,” which you should endeavor to imitate. The work done on the wharf does not meet with your approval. I am not disappointed at that i am aware that any work done by me would not meet the approbation of so high toned a mechanic as yourself. But, let us feel grateful that there are different minds in this age of progress.

There is no doubt but yeu placed the inspector under deep obligation when you Feondescend to instruct him in his duty. In your opinion, he is destitute of skill and experience in mechanical labor, consequent- ly cannot be a competent judge on how a brush wharf should be bnilt. Ah, Mr. Mechanic, he got the sweet morsel, not you. Your charge against him comes with bad grace with you. Had you received commission to oversee the work which you so eagerly sought, but in vain, the ignor- ance of the inspector would not trouble you in the least degree. You say that I informed yeu that I had a perfect under- standing with the Commissioner of Public Works how the work was to be done. You state what is positively untrue; for I never mentioned or made use of the statement you attributed to me, neither is there any understanding between us. I[ cannot conceive how any man possessing any degree of self-respect could write such a deliberate falsehood. But self-respect you have none. This treasure you have long ago thrown to meles and bats and cul- tivated the busy body, which, indeed, seems to be perfegtly developed in you. How could any one who might cross your path escape your arrows, when you could not conclude your seurrilous letter withor: misquoting even the Scriptures ?

Let me state for your information that all the bridges you have mentioned are under- going the necessary repairs, and that, too, long before you ever appeared in print, so that you cannot claim any credit for sound- ing the alarm. The railing on Montague Bridge has been under consideration, and the conclusion arrived at was that in view of the successful operation of the Seott Act, (which you should endeavor to assist) the railing would be sufficiently safe for ordin- ary purposes for this season. But there are a large number of bridges in the district which will in all likelihood demand atten- tion next year, together with the ordinary work on roads, etc. This will demand in- creased attention, so that it may be found necessary to appoint a Deputy Supervisor, and if your mechanical experience is «uch as will satisfy a reasonable expectation, I have no doubt but that if you make a strong application you will suc- ceed in securing the positiop, and thus yet an opportunity for displaying your mechanical genius. I would advise you to try. Itwill be a grand field of probation tu a higher calling. Your reference to Doctors Rebertson and Mcuaren is, ne doubt, a trick of yours, in order to give a coloring of truth to your letter, which it so much nesds. I am sure that both these gentlemen are charitable enough to apply their professional skill to relieve even you irom mental or bodily derangement. But to have anything further to do with such a body as you weuld be irreparably damaging to both. Mr. Mechanic, had you eoncluded your letter as follows, it would be more expressive of your desires, viz : ‘* T was of opinion that the change of Com- missioners would improve my condition. When Commissioner Campbell was appeint- ed to office I was led to hope that I would bs employed to assist his keen eye and brilliant train to ferret out all dishonest and corrupt practices in others, and that my wants would be strictly attended to— in a word, that I could breathe the atmos- sphere of authority.”

Something like the above would be more suited to your taste. But alas, how dis- appointed you must be when you look around and see better men occupying the positions which you so much covet ?

For the present I bid you adieu, hoping that when you appear again you will attach your real name.

I remain, &c., D. Munn, Contractor.

| Taste on the Farm.

Good words are suid, in their report upon the farms to which prizes were lately awarded by the Commissioners of the Ontario Agricultural & Arts Asso- ciation, on the subject of cleauliness and taste on the farm and their effects upon the inmates. We quote from the report: ** There is still another matter we would like briefly to mention, that is the notice- able and marked improvement which is going on in the way of rural embellish- ment. Many of our farmers are giving evideuce of marked good taste in design- ing and comstructing their houses, seem- ingly holding the idea that it is of quite as much importance that they and their families should live in houses tasteful in design, and convenient in arrangement, as itis for dwellers in the cities. The weedy back yard and broken down fences are DoW in many cases giving way to the veatly-kept and well-stocked garden; the pigs, and ducks, like the red man of the woods, having been pushed back to other reserves. In some sections it is the rule rather than the exception that neatly kept lawns, ornamental shrub- bery, and in a few cases well-trim- med hedges and beautifully arranged flower beds are surrounding the farmer’s dwelling. To the children growing up around us this must be an advantage, and will go far to solve the problem, “ How to keep our young men at home.” To make home life more enjoyable and to give our children an opportunity of pos- sessing cultured minds and refined tastes will surely never tend to make our sons worse farmers, and eur daughters worse farmers’ wives.”

Enew His Business.

“Can I see the lady of the house?” inquired the peddler. ** Well, yes, you can if you aiat blind! ” snapped the woman who had answered the bell. “Oh, beg your pardon, madam; you are the lady of the house, then?” “Yes I am! What dyer take me for? Did you think I was the gentleman of the house, or the next doer neighber, or one of the farm hands, or the cat, or the ice-chest ?”’ ** I didn’t know, madam, but you might be the youngest daughter.”’ “Oh, did yer? Wall that was nat’ral, too, replied the lady of the heuse. ‘‘ What d’ye want, sir?” Then the peddlar displayed his wares, and when he left that doerstep half an hour later, his face was full of pleasure aud his pockets were full of money. He understood human nature and had a good safe. EE, Farm Notes.

Over 2,000,000 sheep have been sheared this year in the State of Michigan, and the clip of wool amounts, by official figures, to 10,974,163 pounds, or nearly 5j pounds per head.

The cattle shows in the north of Seot- land are nearly over for the season. Ad- vices show that, as usual, the pelled cattle outnumber any other breed, yet the Shorthorns are slowly gaining ground in the home of the hornless breed.

The superior fattening quality of a pas- ture, as compared with that of the hay made from it, is clearly due to the fact that on land continvally grazed the animal is fed on young herbage, while hay will al- ways consist ef the full-grown plant.

A wool and wheat grower says: ‘‘ It is my belief that the real reason why our wheat crops only yield half as much as the English crops is, that in England farmers utilize sheep as grain growers, while we enly consider them wool and mutton makers.”

‘*Goor Worps”’ says :—Probably no Eng- lishman—certainly no English ecclesiastic— ever appreciated Seotch life and character as Dean Stanley did. There is s complacent Anglican iguerance which wraps everythin north of the Tweed in its contented folds, an to which Scotch affaire—especially Scotch church affairs—are as blank as the Australian desert. Hethad mone of this. He knew Seotch histery—particularly Scotch Oburch history—better than most Scotchmen. He had the keenest sense of the humor, the shrewdness, the kindliness of Scotch eharac- ter. ‘* You know well,’ writes one who was much with him, ‘thew he exjeyed Scotland, appreciated the {Scotch clergy and the eople; and fir Walter Scott amused and delighted him te the very last.” ‘Find ‘Guy Mannering,’ and let me take the taste out of my mouth,” he said not long ago, after looking rapidly through the three volumes of a dreary modern novel which some one had strongly commended to him. During the last days of Lady Augusta’s illness he beguiled some of the heavy hours by reading ‘“‘Old Mortality” aloud. Semetimes, overcome with the thought of the approaching calamity, he would burst into tears, and then take up the book and goon again. He rather sean- dalized tke Scottish Pharisees by empha- sizing, in his English lectures, the services rendered to religion by Walter Scott, and Robert Burns, ‘‘the prodigal son of the Church of Scotlaud.” He delighted in any tale ef Scotch superstition, any scrap of folk-lore, any anecdote illustrating the national peculiarities, social or theological. Winnipeg has expended $40,000 on pub- lic improvements during 1881.

Notwithstanding the severe and prolong- ed frosts of last winter, Florida will send 50,000,000 oranges to market this season.
