Dear Sir,â€" Having just returned from what Josiah Allan's wife call a "tower," my best friend thrust a c^iiy of the Ad- VASCE into my hand, exclaiming as I thoughtâ€" "The Dickens is in you !" "The Dickens in me," I said. "No," said he "J)ixon is into you fellers!" And lo ! and helmld ! nearly two columns taken up to teli wliat a man with average intelli- gence could put in a few small paragrai>hs. In the langUHije of Goldsmith, "Still I nared anil still the woutlcrRrcw, That one ^niall hca 1 could can y all lie knew!" The iidiabitant.1 of Pricevillo are quite ca]>able of looking into their own inter- ests, especially when they have a slioddy school teacher to deal with. When driven to it, they use strong testa. Jlr. Dixon insinuates that the whole tiling was ijot up by two or three for spite. Now, Mr. Editor, the petitt^m ask- ing his ren.oval was presented by about forty ratepayers and signed by thirty-five â€" a large percentage was it not ? Tlie fjict is, Mr. D. finds himself cornered and beaten by tlose "piginy-souled little growlers," and we are not surprised at the expressions he uses of "lie" and "f.ilso- hiiod," as tliose are pet phr'.'UMiS of his, when beaten in debate, or cornered in aruinnont, and he was always beaten by the Pricevillo boys. Mr. Dixon speaks of the opiiiioii of Christian gentlemen. Was it tlie <ine wlio drew up the first jietition for his re- moval in an anderliandcd manner? .\n(' wlieii his coiifreies wanted everything done optMily and above board, lie then went over ti the "anti-cliijue. " The Prowler is pleased to learn that Mr. Dixon is ashamed of his skeptical views, so long held and so often express- ed ; and while he does not want to jiay a market value for anything lie may re- (fuirc, as an example he tramped the vill- age and country for three days, looking for cheap board and lodging â€" not being willing to p.iy more than fo'l ])er year for aecoMiodAtioii. At the same time lie was diiiwin',' a salary of 84'-0 per year. I tliiiik if Mr. I), yets curried down in this vigorous manner by a few more of the shop-keepers, as Mr. Riley has handled him, he will not only wish his head in that lion's iiunith, but will feel siiiall cii- oiigli to crawl in, body and boots '. pROWUiR. Lrflcr frovi Mr. lirander. To till- I'.dltor iif The Ailnan-e. Sir, â€" I noticed locently a coinninnica- tion over the signature of \V. L. Dixon, !>! Priceville School, in which iie makes some low insinuations and casts uncalled for rellections on Priceville shop-keeptus. 1 wciiiM iiifoi'iii him, in his iunoii.nuu, that there are just as reliable, staunch, .md intelligent inon and women shoijkeep'- CIS as there are teachers in this county ; iiiid Mr. Dixon is not the model wo care to copy. He takes excetition to "Prowler," le V\i reli,'iou,i 0|iiiiion3, or, rather, the want of tlieni. Why, before Mr. Dixon Wits 111 the school three months, 1 had ic from an unquestionable source, that ho held such skeptic views ; and have since heard the same from other sources. Have ,ilso myself heard ^Iv. Dixon express the same opiiiicms. If the statement be false, he himself must be the father of it. Thanking, yon, Mr. Editor, for this space, I remain, Yours truly, JaMKS nRANDKK. [All opportunity will now be afforded Mr. Dixon to reply to the above letters, after which we shall close our columns to any further discussion of the subjectâ€" the matter having now been, we think, thor- uughljr ventilated. â€" Eo.

On a recent occasion a minister was re- viewing the cpiiirterly work of the Sunday school. Desiring to illustrate the scml to his little hearerb, he held up his watch and explained its workings. "Now," lie said "what is it in you that tells you to work, or study, or Jilay, as the case may be ? ' One little hand Went up. "Well, wlia: is it ?" "The brain." "Right. Now tell what it is back of the brain thai makes it work V ex|>ecting some Olio to answer the 8<uil. The same little hand was-ed anxiously in the air. "I see you are a studious little fellow,"' said the minister with an encouraging smile. "Now tell your le.ss fortunate companions what it is back of the brain that makes the brain act. That is, what it is that thinks through the brain." "(iuts !" was the shrill reply. The preacher sat down ureatly discom- fited, amidst a perfect roar of laughter. The anibitioua boy was the son of a butcher Tiiut "IJngcntlcniaiily" Reply. To the Editor of The Advance. Dear Sik, â€" I must beg your patience once more for u short re|i]y to your Mani- toba correspondent. I am sorry indecdj to find that I was guilty of an "ungentle- manly act in pronouncing adverse judge- ment upon the parody emanating from that gentleman. IMy "re;ily" was writ- ten, not alone witli the idea of calling in (luestioi; the veracity of your correspon- dent, but as a s-'ttirc upmi our own coun- try as well, which he extolls so highly. Ho sees very little that is go<id in the South. Now, I hold that, owing to phy- sical suH'ering, of which he has been a victim for nianv years, he was incapaci- tated for acquiring an impartial and "un- biased" <i]iinioii of Southern climate and Bouthcrii cap.tfcilitii'S. Althoimli I have not liad the good fortune to persoiiiiUy visit the Southern states, I have had the perseverance to read a number of stan- dard writers on the subject, who could have no po.ssible object in magnifying the good features of the country ; and I must siiy that when I read your cnrrespondent's jiarody I wiui struck with the conviction that his was simply a local observation, if not exaugcratod â€" based njioii no wide experience â€" and applied to all 'ho South- ern States. For instance : were a man dropped from a baloon upon the alkaline plains of Nevada he would not he in a po-iition to pronounce an assay upon the mineral ore contained elsewhere in that state, nor even swear that there was a silver hxle within a thousand miles, .^e would be fully convinced that it wassoh â- ly a desert land, wholly unlit for human occupation. We could not blame him for stating his convictions, but we might he pardoned for swallowiiui his statements rinn ;//o7iuÂ«ii udi.s, and, if he were ii rea- soiialily man, without hnviiig it considered an "u'igentlemanly" act to take the salt. From a critical point of view I cannot accept the stiitenieiits in that parody ex- cept .Ts a "iiarody" upon the truth. I will give just one reason for my skepticism and then my cose is coiniilcted. The sunshine, he states distinctly, is "seven tunes hotter than the heat of a midsuni- mer in the middle or the Northern States." The medilnii hi^at of our hottest wea- ther is not below Ho degrees ; that multi- plied by 7 makes 5S).j of heat ! Now, I leave it to the Agricultural Editor of TllB AiiVANCE if that iiifoiniation isn't a little hard to take without a grain of saltâ€" o,. ice ? It may he for the good of mankind in general to know that a countiy has been found thrice as hot as any Hum- boldt came across in his journey to the e piatorial regions of Scjuth America, or Baker to the Albert Nyanza, but that wouldn't deter nie from visiting it, if, as I remarked before, the country had not de- veloped earthquakes to such an alarming extent as it has during the pttstyear,oven as far north as Virginia.
