Our ffofescribers at Pomona Post Of- fice have been complaining of their papers not coming; to that oflSce reg iilarly. We bee; to say to them, as well as to all our subscribers, that the Standard is mailed every Thursday af- ternoon, m time for the 4:30 p.m. mail, •a-nd we are iguorant as to where the â- delay is. It is very annoyiug to sub- *cjibers when their papor does not •come regular, and we are of opinion that maii clerks, (at least some of them) are either iocapable of properly dischaigiug their very important duties or else an extreme carelessness exists on their part. We very often receive our Owen Souud papejs from Toronto, a day â- later than they should arriye, and oc- -casioually our Toronto mail from Owen Sound. We have mailed mat- ter to l^'lesherton (six miles) which did not reach that place for four days, and various instances of equal irregu- larity and delay could be mentioned. We are not given to complaining un- less there is a just reason, but we deem it our duly to call the attention â- of the public to these matters anc* â- hope that good results will follow. ^jtfmdawji LOST HIS BALANCE. Tlio FleshortoQ Advance is quite annoyed because it has been unable to excite the ire â- of the Standard, bless your heart, we are â- only the more amused at the bombast of the Advance in reference to us, and only require to consider where it comes from in order to appreciate his mighty efforts. If the won- derful sheet had a reputation of reliability. ve might be led to give serious considera- w nlfh k and applied a little closely, " put nothinK but what was fair and allowable To the Editor of the Stamsabd. Deab Sib, â€" I am sorry to be under ttie necessity of again correcting Mr. K. He stat*« in his letter No. 3 that the Observer of letter No. 1, is not the writer of letter No. '2. If T. E's informant has told this he is certainly very onreliable and ontrathfol, but if he has depended on his own imagination for his information I must say it pospessas the same qualities. In either case he should be more careful in future as he wUl see they have led him astray and are not to be depend- ed upon 88 reliable. The facts are that no other person or company of persons dictated or are in any way respondsible for the letters referred to afid Observer of 1 and 2 and this makes 3 are one and the same person Again, he says if I had written my own name your readers would have known what prompted me to write such trashy stuff. What he meani by this I know not, nor do I care. What did prompt me to write was to say a little in defence of the institutions establish ed for the benefit of the farmers of this Prov- ince, which he denounced, but did not at- tempt to prove his statements and insinua- tions respecting them, either by arguments or facts. Whether trashy, as he says, or not, I leave that with the intelligent readjrs to judge, as they are in a better position to do so fairly and impartially than T. K, is. Again, he states that I have never been able to confute his first letter. Well, sir, I think that I adduced a few, of the many that could be given, facts and arguments in support of the position I took, whether they were suf- ficient to sustain my position and confute T. K's statements or not, of course I leave others to judge, but in reading this asser- tion of his I was forcibly reminded of the character whom Solomon describes as being wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. In conclu.sion he says that it is ungentle- manly to not write oyer my own UEJne. Now sir, this is not true, as the questions discus- I sed are of a public nature and for the gene- ral benefit, and I am in no wise personally interested in those institutions, other than in common with every other farmer (one of which I am). I have endeavored to discuss them as public questions on their own merits, and avoided, as far as possible, private per- sonal matters or things foreign to the subjects discussed. True, some deduc- tions were drawn from the facts aikd argu- ments adduced and applied a little closely, ' "^Bwrrtts. â- sitsKBc;^^ i jj? g» ' r p pistaii Mebcxb.â€" In Aitemeida, ton the 29th ult., the wife of Mr. John Mercar, ei a son.

THE QUEENS BIRTHDAY IN MARK- DALE. The committee of management for the celebration of the Queen's Birthday in this place are determined to make it the most s-uccessful ever held here. They have ap- propriated nearly $200 in cash prizes alone to hoise racing, and the course which is on the Agiijultuial grounds is being fittted up for that purpose. Then, as may be seen by posters, a largo amount is given, ah in cash, for atheletic games. These together with t JO Bazaar by the L. A. S. of the Methodist church will draw au immense crowd. in controversy. Thfcre were some other points in T. K"s second letter which I intended to touch up- on, but as he holds out the flag of surrender, I will desist for the present. When he nest goes into public print with letters I would advise him to base his assertions on facts and not on his own opinions. With no ill will towards T.
