We live in a peacable country, and rioting should be put down by the strong arm of the law. Little as we like Orange demonstrations, we must confess that we felt humiliated when we saw the Orange flag hauled down in obedience to the clamor of a mob. We give our worthy Stipendiary Magistrate credit for the best motives; and the Orangemen who consented to haul the flag down de- serve eredit for trying to make peace, But we say that the men who—with stones in their hands — demanded the lowering of the flag should—~instead of having their demands complied with— been sent to jail. The weak- ness of the police force was painfully evident. We should immediately have an additional force of policemen.

of the Boyne—was celebrated by the

Orangemen of this town and royalty by a

Tea Party at West River. At 11 o'clock,

a&.m™., a body of about one hundred and

1 rs of the Lodges marched in

ion to the steamer Southport, on

board of which they embarked for the

tea grounds, Nothing worthy of any

notice happened until their return about

8 o'clock in the evening. The steamer

landed them at the Steam Navigation Com-

pany's Wharf. On landing the members

formed in procession and marched to the

Lodge on Queen Street without interrup-

tion, “The streets wera crowded with spec

tators. On the arrival of the procession at the Lodge, the street from Apothecaries’

Mall to Terlizzick’s corner was one dense

The members in proces

sion quietly marched into the Lodge and in a short time orders were given for dis~ missal, After this, a few members of the body and one marshal got through the front windows of the Lodge and stood in regalia on the moulding, above the win- dow of the store occupied by Messrs. Mils ler Brothers, A volley of stones from the crowd on the street greeted them, but the party on the moulding escaped into the Lodge without injury. Another volley was tired through the window of the Lodge and it was answered by a revolver shot from the front door of the Lodge room, This| caused great excitement among the, spectatators, and rally after rally of stones came from the crowd, and volley after volley of pistol shots from the Lodge. The excitement inereased. ‘The first shots that were fired from the Lodge were blindly aimed at the crowd, and two innocent persons—a man named Lat- ferty and boy named [iggins—were slight~ ly wounded, the former above the temple and latter in the left arm. When the re- port that two men were shot was heard through the crowd, the excitement became intense, A large number gathered before the Lodge and stones were fired at the Lodge windows until every pane was shat» tered. Many harmless shots were fired in re- turn. During the shooting from the Lodge the party on the street would slowly re- treat. But ‘the’ moment the shots would cease they would return, cheering. At, tempts were made by Dr. Jenkins, Senator Haviland, the City Marshall, several police- men and citizens to disperse the rioters; but without success, The Stipendiary Magis» trate was sent for and in a short time he arrived. Ue appealed for the crowd to disperse, and received answer that they would on condition that the Orange flag be taken off the building. The Magistrate consented to request this of the members of the Lodge, and in a short time the flag was lowered. As the flag was descending, it came near the platform, and was quickly seized and taken from the cords, Shots were fired at the parties seizing the flag,and a man named Patrick Brenan was wounded above the left ear. The Magistrate then requested the crowd to disperse, whieh they did in about five minutes from the time the or. der was given.

Mr. John Moore, of the Bank of P, E, Island, received a severe wound in the head from a stone fired at him from the crowd in the street. But, on the whole, the injuries received, during the row, were not of a very dangerous kind. At 10.30 o'clock, p. m., the streets were totally

followed.

lie said he would, The next day [ went yp to his farm, and took a young man from town with me as a witness. Miller had taken the machine ali apart, and then he could not put it together again. ile had the boxes and the dividing board tirned the wrong way, and it was screwed down so light thatthe machine could not turn freely ite could not find a place to put the seat and he natled a box on instead. All of ths goes to prove how much Mr. Miller knows about a Mowing Machine. I! putthe Ma- chine in order and set it to work. Miller then admitted that it was lighter in draft, and cut just as wellas the Champion. He said he would like to have the cutter-bar a few inches longer. 1 told him 1 could give hin any length he wanted. He said that would do: and said he was perfectly satis- lied with the hay gear. We came down to the house where the grain gear was, I ‘old him he would have to give me his notes

sore about the deieat they got at Cape | Traverse last Seplember by the CELE- BRATED WALTER A. Woop Macuine, and they took the trouble to go all the way to Cape Traverse to get Mr. Bell to gi a paper they had all ‘cooked and dried” be-

e they showed it to him, contaiuing an

truth (not ou Mr. Bell’s part, bat on the part of the Champion Agents), concern- ing the trial of Reapers that took plate in: his field last September. Mr. Bell’s letter (not written by him but by others) says that he had no idea there was to bé a trial. If he did not know, his son did, and was one Of the parties interested in getting up the trial. And it is the.son who always drives the Machine, ais who drove it et the trial, The old man don’ drive the Machine at al}!.

I don’t know how long a time a man’ wants to put a machine in order. Mr. Bell had from morning till two o'clock to pre pare it. The old man says that he made ne preparation. Jt did not want two per- sous,—one was enough io prepare ‘for the trial. He could prepare an old mowing machine in that time. He says, “I did not notify you [Mr. Booth] of the trial.” He had no occasion to notify Mr. Booth, for he had the Agent from whom he bought the Machine on the ground; and he knows more about a Machine, and can work it better, than Mr. Booth.

Mr. Bell says he was “ quite surpri ed when he saw Mr. Horne and the Agent of the Wood Machine and their friends coming into the field.” 1 don’t know where my friends were, for I did not know one farmer on the ground when I went into the field; and I am sure that the Avent of the Wood Machine did not either. I did not know anything about the trial tilhabout 9 o'clock tue evening before.

Mr. Bell says that it was a new Wood Machine that competed against the Cham- pion. It was not anew Machine. It was the very same Machine that the Agent of the Champion paid A. Miller to condemn. and to take a Champion; so you see it was a condemned Machine that beat the Cham- pion!

Now for Mr. Bell's own words at the close of the trial; and I can get over twenty farmers to bear me out. Mr. Bell said, the Champion is ‘ta good Machine, for,” said he, “I van cut hay and grain with it; but, if I was going to buy another Machine, I would buy a Walter A. Wood Machine.” He says hic is sure that he can gel a good many farmers to agree with him. Ican tell Mr, Booth that, for every one man he can get, who was at that ‘rial, to say that the Champion was the best, I can get ten to say the same thing for the Wood. Machine. How was it that two men who had Champions, got up by daylight next mornipg and went te their neighbors (who they heard wanted a Machine), to try and sell them their Champions, before the news gob around that the Caampion was beaten by the Woop MAcuini.

Why does not Mr. Booth get some of the Farmers who were at the field trial to sign his paper? [le comes out with the name of oné Single manto his paper, and thal nol genuine. We never asked Mr. Bell to sign our paper. Mr. Booth—I want you to bear in mind that “druth is sironyer than fiction,”

Yours truly, ALEXANDER HORNE, Agent for the Wood Machine

Mr Boora—! am sorry you show 380 much your Want of common sense, as to bring before the Farmersof P. EK. Island that ‘* Interesting Letter,’ as you call it, sign@d by Avex. Minter, but not written by him. I did not intend to notice it, till I saw that you have him, for a second time, a tool, to do all your dirty work, and to lay before the public so many untrutas. Now, | will giye the full statement, as he has brought my name into the last lettér,

Alex. Miller, came to m the 28th July, 1876, on the Market Squar@,a@nd bought a Warten Ay Woon Macurye from me on these terms; If it did not do good work he was to notify us, and we were to go up and setit in order; then, if it did not do good work, we would take it back and give him his notes. So it Was agreed to; and we sen: it down to the steamer on the same day. He said that he was not going to commence his hay ull the last of tha next week, so £ promised to go up on the next Wednesday and set it up. When Wednesday came, | met Mr. Miller on the street, Ie said that se was not going to commepce his hay ti!l the next week. All the better said I, for we {ind that the large smooth wheel slips in cutting heavy clover. The other wneels should have been here to- day, but they were delayed in Boston; but they will be here by next Wednesday sure. He said that would do. Qn Friday {iwo days after] down came Miller ina greai rage, tle said that he could not get the Machine tocut heavy clover. | told him that he should not have set the Machineto work till we had set itin working order. He would not listen to ine on any terms. I told bim that | would go up and set itin good work- ing order. He said that he would not let me goup. He said he would punish me if I put my foot on his farm, and went on like a mad- man. I thought he was light in the upper story — it being the full of the moon— thatis the time that all those parties are

worse, So I gave him his notes and told him to send back the Machine,—though I need not have taken back the Machineatall. In

back, or I would take the Machine, He said he would, if I would give him a halt- day's cutting oats. I did so; and told him notto use the hay gear any more. Hecut one field of oats [about ten acres] first; ‘aud when he commenced the heavy field of oats, { went up along with apother person, and when we got within sight of the tield we saw the boy thrashing horses very much, because he could not get them to start with “the Champion. They were stuck going across a furrow. I took the horses out of the Champion, and put them into the Woop Ma- HINE ,nd drove it one round, ~ Shewed cm th. differonce between the two Ma- chines—where the Champion cuts the beads offthe grain and you could pick them up in bunches, but you could not find a handful in ten chains afler the Woop Macurne. He acknowledged that the Champion cut off tao many heads, and he was not pleased with it.

Mr, Miller says, in his letter to the Champion agents, that he told me to stop

swaying on the Machine, and [ would not. That is an out and out lie; for | had no oc- casion to sway On the Machine; all I had to do was to use the lever. tle further states that I broke the cepstan, and then went off. That is another of Mr. Milier’s. After 1 got olf the Machine, the young man who came with me got on, and drove it two rounds Chen we left, and went on totown. When we gol about two miles from Mr. Miuller’s piace on the top of a high hill, we looked back, and the boy was still cutting with the Woop Macutng,; and still he says that I broke the capstan, and then got off. So much more Mr. Miller lies. The fact is, that the piece of the Machine that Mr. Miller broke was not broken and could not be broken by use, It was broken by a blow of some hard sub

stance, and on purpose.

Mr. Miller says the mettie is quite rotten. Now, I will leave it to any sound-minded man, who knows anything about machinery, if American machinery is not stronger and in better finish than Canada metal? It can be proved by the machines that we sold last season. Of the Twenry-stx Macuings we sold, we did not sell fifty cents worth of extras. You can’t say that about the Champion. Mr. Miller says he was offered the agency of the Woop Macutne. That is another of Mr. Miller's good ones. Mr. Miller asked me if we" had an agent up around Mount Stewart, and I said no. Well,” he said, “I have a large store at the R. R, Station, and a very good stand‘to sell Machines ; you had better give me the agency.”’ I said We could not this season ; but we would see how we got along, ant we could make arrangenibnes for next sea- son. Thatis the offer Mr. Miller.got of the agency ef the Weopn Macaine,

Mr. Miller says he can prove the fair test- ing of these Machines in grass and grain, ‘aif it will be worth going to the'trouble,” O whata judge! I asked him why he did not drive the Machine himself. We told4me that his little boy could drive the Machine better than he could. O, what a man to test'the fairness of a Machine!

Mr. Miller says that the-eaptans cost him eight dollars apiece. IT dop’t thigk he ever paid for them. I bo diy Me never paid us.

‘ANDER HORNE, Mr. (bi ol en you sign your name

to paper eet ‘testing Machines, you had better learn to work Machines better than you did last’Summer, and write youc own letters: Don’t get others to do it for you, and bring you into troable. If you see aman Nas a dirty job to do, let him:do it himself, or pay you better than they paid you last summer. What did you do with the secund Champion you took out on trial ?

Yours, truly,
