Henlrie prove BUCCCSvillll. ' It appears that 5Ir. llcndrie, al- thou^jh a bondholder and Director of tho T., G. t B. R v., is also more largely interostod in the Hamilton and North- Western Railway, which is now araalpited with the Norlhern, and heoc;; hi.s dosiru to thwart tlie Grand Trunk arrangiiucut, At a meeting of the Board o( Di- rectors held on Friday la.st, Mr. Heu- dric moved, that the offer of the Ham- ilton and North-Wester and Northern be ftccopted, when it was moved in amendmedt by Mr. J. J. Middleton, seconded by Mr, Thos. Gibson, and resolved, that as the proposal now made in writing by tlie Hamilton and ' North- Western and Northern Com- panies, is the same as that made ver- bally by the committee from those Companies, and declined by thip Com- pany, the papers now submitted by them be laid on the tublfc and no fur action tnken thereon. The amuml- ment was carried, and unw Mr. H^'n- drie is going to bring tlie matter be- •fore the bondholde-san.l.-iharehDl.lcrs. Fortunately for the people of this County no agreement can be ratrtied without the consent of the Lieuten- ant Goveuor in Council. This Mr. Hooi'rie thinks he can oltain, and no doubt he wiil put fortli every effort to do sc it therefore behoves our peo- ple to attend the monster deputaition now being got np to interview the Lieutenant GoverLor in opposition to Mr. Hendrie's views. Some of our readers may ask, â€" ' What difference does it make what Company runs the road, as long as the gauge is widened and it is well managed?" The difference is thic â€" If the Grand Trunk lease the road, grain and other produce could be etiipped through to any desired point without breaking bulk. This would indnce buyers from a distance to come among up, causing better prices to be paid from the fact of the greater com- petition but should the Norther get control] of the rood onr hopes in this reapeet wjU be futile. And further, we have been informed upon excellent -ftsthority, that Mr. Cumberlaod used his best endeavors to indnce Mr, 'Wngge to niw the freight on gnuu. WbAt will follow should he get aontrol of the road our readers can imague. Another object these gentlemen hkVe in view is ro prevent any of the tne from the great North-Wset from passing orer thia route, a gre«t portion cf which would if the O. T. take oar road, to the great injury bf |h« horthera, hwiee the atrenaow The Scott Act came- into force in tl'e County of Lanibton on Monday last, and the state of affairs, as regards the travelling public, are rather un- l)lpasant. 'J'he hotel keepers have closed their houses and fenced in their sheds, and sternly refuse admitance to any and all â€" friend or foe alike. â€" The farmers have to leave their teams on the streets, and stage drivers wl^o have patronized the same hotel for li'.r .Ip«.*' tfj-iren years, ^x\fni cKiXoitid even a feed of oats for their horses. Commercial travellers who arrived by the trains at Sairnia and other places found no iortcrs awaiting their com- ii:t?, and were seen wending tueir way up stieet draggmg their ponderous trunks after thera, but, alas only lo find tho hotel doors bared against them, and nothing stronger than (din- ger pop or John Bull Bitters with which to revive their droopin*? spirits obtainable. The hotel keepers say the will adhere to this plan asjiong as the act remains in force. As the Act cannot be repealed for three years, the nrobability of their holding out is rather doubtful. In the meantime arrangements are being made by the temperance people, as rapidly as pos • sible, for the accommodation of the public. Mrs. T. G, Mokgan, Hair'Iresser, will be in Priceville on Thursday, 12tB inst., at Tuck's Hotel, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and atFlesherton Hotel from 2 to 4 p.m. FLE.SHER.TON Correspondence to the Standard.

Bat,â€" A few days ago my atftantion was drawn to a eomnmiiealian 19 your yalaaUa*^ paper, a^ned E. E. Knott, whose p roye ity has been insar- eu in the Domimon Orange If otoal Fire Insurance Assodation for four years past. I at once came to the conclusion that Mr. E. £. Knott would reinsure his pnqierty in the Sydenham Mntoal Fire Insorance Company, as he would have a perfect right to do if he so desired. This article was dated Slst March last I trust yon will al- low me space to btiefiy tefo* to this commonication. Jndge of my sor- prise a few days after, at receiving an application from Mr. E. E. Knott and his respected father for four years in the Company I represent, for over f 4,000 â€" it therefore does seem with all its faults Mr. E. E. Knott loves this. Company still, but dislikes its manager. The object of Mr. Knott's letter appears to be two-fold. 1 st to seenre, if possible, a newspaper war between the Sydenham Motnal Fire Insurance Company and myself 2nd to vent a httlo of bis splfen against me personally. He will not succeed in creating a war between the direct, ors and officers of the Sydenham Com- pany and myself, as for the last four years the Companies mentioned, their directors and officers, have worked to getber very harmoniously, and I can assure Mr. Knott that I have the most kindly feelmgs for the officers and di- rectors of the Sydenham M. F. Insur- ance C4mpany. As to the 2nd ap- parent object of your correspondent, I beg to say, if it affords him any gratification to misstate figures, and misrepresent the Dominion Grange Insurance Company to make a little cheap capital for his Stock Company, he is welcome to all the pleasure and profit be can secure. It is quite true Mr. Knott was at one time an agent of the Company I represent, for East Grey. He informed me he could not at- tend to the work outstde his own Town- ships, he employed a young man of whom our Board knew nothing, and who was quite 'incompetent, and set hur to work as a sub agent. This was not satisfactory to our Board of Directors. Mr. Daniel Wright, of Col- lingwood Township, was appointed to the agency. That gentleman is old enough to be willing to receive instruc- tion iu his business, and act according- ly, the result being that he stands at the head of our list of agents for quan- tity and accuracy of work. Mr. Knott also informed me that he would like the appointment of -^Inspector to our Company. The subject was laid be fore the Board who wisely concluded that losses should be adjusted by the Director living nearest the locality of loss. I learned that because I carried out the wishes of my Directors Mr. Knott had no friendly feeling towards me personally, I 'vill say here that Mr. Knott's figuies given are nothing but imaginary figures, and not the true figures an given in our Report, a copy of which Mr. Knott has in his possession, and it is time enough when that gentleman gives correct figures, to answer his communication. \our correspondent states a8_ follows "jTUe ?range Insura'nce Co. pays its Man- ager, Treasurer, and Secretary $2,- 113.75." This is untrue and fabri- cation. Ic the Report referred to, un- der the head of Expenditare,any mem- ber by examining the Report, wiil find the following; "Salaries, including policy writing, $1,260.50," which is the amount paid for salaries of above officers including accountant's salary, which is $500 itself, and he is worth every cent of it. Again Mr. E. E. Knott informs the readers cf The SxANDARn in comparing the Grange Company with the Sydenham Com- pany, as follows, (the lan^uagu is Mr. iLnott's, not mine,) "It has only about one-third more all told pohcies iu force to-day, and these policies do not coy- er over one-third more risks, c." At the close of 1880 the Sydenham Com- pany haJ as follows Policies in force. 903. Amountat risk, $1,043,122.00 Premium Notes 19,808.24 At the same date tlie Grange Company had as follows Policies in Force 84.89. Amountat Risk 4,181,652.00 Premium Notes and cash net after all de- deductions 106,256.30 Policies iu force not one-third more, but nearly four times as many. Amount at risk was not one-third more but oyer four times much. Cap- ital, not one-third more, but over five times as great. The Sydenham Company matces a good showing for a local Company The Grange Company being not a local but a Provincial Company, ought to be larger. So much for Mr. E. E. Knott's accuracy. Where figures in other re- spects are so wide of the mark, 1 will not attempt to follow him. Mr. Knott again says Now, the fact is, by com- parison shown above, and by further comparing the aggregate expenditure of the Companies less the amount paid lor fire-claims, viz The Grange Insur- ance Co., $4,775.05, and the Syden- ham Co., $290.08, just about 17 times less." What! EUsbal $4,775.05 besides fire claims I Are you sane This IS too big to bo swallowed by any one. The question arises, 1st, can Mr. Knott read If so, then why such incorrect figures I mast seri- ously say that I cannot, considering Jlr. Knott's position, for one moment beUeve it possible for him to be so ig- norant of plain statoments of figures, as is shown in his communication. Can it be possible that he is so lost to all self-respect as to deliberately coin the figures for malicious purposes, when over three htmdred farmers in East Grey have the Reports to refer to, I cannot think so 111 of friend Knott. These ina:caraoie8 mast arise from either one canSe or the other, and ynnr readers mast jadge for tiiem- selyes. As to Postage, I wonld say that we send reports to oar members at one cent each. Reports to members, Snb.-Gramro and Division Grange Secretaries in 1880, cost aboat $88 00 Notiees of notes maturing, and sending oat notes a hen paid, cost on about 600, 8 centi each, or 6 cents on notices and Notes when paid. 86 00 Monthly dreolan to agenti and direeton aboat 8 00 Ht: bott'a ebara tkmitt affant tO, 000 MHa aadjpe iMatHiv Ataad* eoniMaMfl^m«iai.I viB not notion tnrthn ttJAa to say h* can see a d^ tailed daily postaKS aceoodt at oar of- fiM which can be. pConil ^fOfit^ « oath, and the Din^en have tO^ earctfully cxaminad and aertificdthis ixpenditaro. Mr. Knott was careful not to compare the losses of the two eompaniea. Sydenham $1£73.78 with the Grange Oompany $S181.82. be eaoae it did not soithis parpoee taking the proportion of each Compwy' risks* held our l^as tu be equal to that of the Sydeftiam would be three times greater than they 4tt«, or tboat $8,000. We actually had a favorable year, our losAes being below an aver- age, and those of the Sydenhaai Co. being above an kveragC, Mtdsadia CMnparlstm for a single year woald show our company to advantage, ^at would be unfair to the Sydenham Go. as we woold be putting our best year against their worst year, and Direct- ors cannot be held (accountable for oc- casional heavy losses.

To the Editor of Ihe Siansabd. S18, â€" The public should Inow, es- pecially the IT embers of tbeOIenelg Agricultural Society, that there are gentlemen occupying the responsible position of Directors of said society, who seem disposed at the present junctura to sacrifice the interests of said society to private iriendship. It is a mof-t singular thing tht gentie- men, who in private personal matters arc known to be exacting to the last cent, will bo readily, anl apparently with profound indifference allow tens of dollars of public money to be wrong- fiiily withheld from t'le society because it has by some hocus-pocus art found its way into a friend's poaket. There is no denying the fact that this sort of conduct on the part of anj body of in- "'J' " telligent men, betokena'a IcatMt}iGUou8 lack of moral stamina coupled with a very limping sort of honesty, which cannot fail tx discount them seriously in the estimation of all right thinking men. If the late defaulting Secretary- Treasurer justly owes tiie Society $150, whv in all conscience, we ask, should the Directors accept of a less sum, and that too without intr-rest To do so would simply bo offering a premium to dishonesty, a course which surely no right-minded, hovourable man would care to follow. A DIRECTOR. Maeko.^le, April 25. 1881 »â- Â» â€" To tbo Editor of tLe Stasd.vkd. Dear Sm,â€" At the Quarterly busi. ness meeting of the Methodist Church A^nl-i.\vJL(\ luJJ on thei^iui.infJt, JJkvrv was an intimation from Holland Cen- tre Mission, to the effect that stops woul(4 be taken by Chatsworth Circuit at the joming District meet.ug (which will he held in' Owen Sound ou the 17th ins!.,) to do away with the above mission, by reuniting it with Chats- worth, all exceptthat pait known as Walker's appointment, which would be reunited with this circuit. There areas many appointments now ou this circuit as can well be at- tended by one minister. However, we think tho Markdale portion of this circuit is prepared to make the follow- ing offer on eou'lition that the people of Walker's appiiiutment, and those of Pleasant Valley will amalgamate and build a Brick Churcb at 70 side- road on the gravel, viz â€" $800, a sum which we thibk would pay for half th3 cost of a brick building large enough to accommodate the two congreg itious combined. An adjourned meeting of the board will be held in the vestry ou the IGth inst., at 2 p.m., when there will be a good opportunity for those interested a baoic^l to consider the matter. A Membeb or thk Board. We hsva thoa on ttvia itama To the Editor of the Standard. Sib, â€" The members of tbe Glenelg Agricultural Society and others inter- ested will be pleased to hear that the Directors have succeeded in obtainint; from the late defaulting Treasurer a portion of the money due said Society. Ou Saturday night last Mr. Lyons paid over t le sum of $122 25, which will at once be available for the use of the Society â€" the balance, amounting to about $50, will probably be forth- coming before the fall exhibition. The Directors deserve the tliauks of the society for their energy and perse- verance in bringing this unpleasant business to a successful issue. Had the defalcacation not been discovered there is no telling where t^e matter would have ended, or how long tbe society would coiitinne to exist under- the annual fleecing to winch it was subjected. This case furnishes a striking illustration of tiie ease and readiness with which a Smart Trea- surer may appropriate the funds of a voluntary society, composed as Town ship Agricultnnd Societies generally are, of honest, simplb, nnsuspectiug farmers. In a voluntary association the idea of self and individuality is so lost in that oi generality that the same close scrutiny and attention is not given to its affairs that wonld be bestowed! where personal interest is involved, so that notwithstanding all tbe checks and safeguards which Government and Municipal Councils may devise in the shape of Apnaal Returns and Yearly Audits, tt€: Tbe Satart man can, like the illostrioos O'Connell, "drive a coach and four tlfroogfa them all and carry off the Lion's share of the spoils."

Greenwoood, 6th con., Glenelg, died veery suddenly on Saturday last. He was, it appears, out on that day driving a team har- rowing, and although complaining of a sore throat nothing serious was ap- preliended, and he continued at work until Mr. Greenwood noticed that he appeared sick and told him to sit down aud that he (Mr. Greenwood) would fiiisli the harrowing himself when he got through sowing, and the lad did as requested, but when Mr. G- returnedaftcorosaing tbe field, which only occupied a few minatos, he found the poor boy quite dead. â€" Ckronule.

R., Glenelg, were completely destroyed by fire together with contents, consisting of a qn heat, oats, peas, bailey, five tons of bay and farm iu.plements. The only property rescued from the burning buildings was a fanning mill and a bag of wheat and in getting out the latter Mr. McComb had one of his hands and his head very badly burned. The origia of the fire is not known but is supposed to have been caused by a spark from burning brush on an adjoining farmjths wind being high at the time. The buildings and coolants were insured in the London Ji ialfor$700. Loss about $1500. â€" ChronicU. Rbe. â€" A destructive fire occurred on the premises of Mi-.

GAUTHreR, of St Paul, has an article in the last number of the Chicago MwKcaJ Recime, which by reason of the prevalence of diphtheria in this section, is of peculiar iutai-est just. now. The article is as follows: â€" While a Natshez, filiss., in the early part of 1866, 1 was led through my experience to adopt the treatment I now propose to describe. For some years subsequent to my return to Illi nois, I treated all the cases I en- countered (fifty in number) with complete success, by the same means, and I have smce treated 160 cases, with the same satisfactory result, except in two cases, where death occurred, the patients being almost raoribimd wbeu coming under treatmen^ Pre- vious to the adoption of the present mode of treatment, my resalta were by no means as satisfactory, tiie dis- ease proving fatal in at least one-third of the whole nnmder of cases. The treatment which has proven so sue cesslul m my hands, is as f3llows: Tho patient is ordered tinctoro of of iodine in ten or twelve drop doses every hour, well diluted with water, so long as the fever lasts, subsequent- ly reducing it to ten drops every three hoars local applications of the drug are made use of at the same time. These latter stionld be made by tbe physician himself at least twice a day. For intomal use I gave Utterly the decolorized tincture; bread and t irohy articles of diet are ased in :.«ndance. Bach is my treat- ment. Having given hi m detitil, I shall now cite afew oases, dealing at first with the unsuccessful on«^.

REAL, Agent Dominion Grange Mutual Insurance Association Sir, â€" I have to thank you for your|care iu the general selection of risks in your Company, and the directors, for careful management, by which has been secured such an excellent finan- cial standing in four years. I was one of the first insured in the Company, to tbe amount of $800, 1 paid $6, and gaye an undertaking be- sides. My undertaking has been re- turned to me unassessed, and eighty cents in casb paid back. I have thus secured the most reliable insurance of $800 for four years for five dollars and twenty cents, or sixty cents on tho $100 insurance. Tbe Company appears to be work- ing truly on tbe Mutual principle, it rarely if ever occurred in Canada that the insured received back any portion of the money paid in fet an insurance Company. May your success be still mor marked m the future. Yours truly, 'iHOKAS MCBSBN, 84 8 Whitby tp. Co.
