Few places of its age and size have experi- enced so many serioas and fatal trac^dies, fires and oAer casoalities. A marked change for the better has however set in, and while the enter- prising and progressive duuraetenstics of oar leadmg hnsiness men, and con- stant and sobstantial growtii and de- velopment of oar village has won the confidence of capitalists and enlogies of travellers geuerallv, we find that morally the place is fast gaining an enviable reputation. Onr hotels â€" though there's more of them than is necessary â€" are kept orderly, and there is very little excessive drinking done by residents of oar town. The Sabbath day is, to all appear- ance, strictly observed the Churches and Sabbath Schools are well attend- ed, and enjoying prosperity and har- mony amongst themselves as well as with each other. Our young people, which are the hope of our country, are above the average both in morals and intelligence, while our citizens gener- ally are indastrious, sociable and prosperous people. Under these favor- able circumstances we cannot wonder that those seeking a desirable rural town in which to retire from farm life or other business occupations, should be favorably impressed with our vill- age, and more than pleased after be- coming residents and sharing the hospitalities of our people. Then we might go on to enumerate its other advantages, such as railway, being on the line of the greatest railway in the world, and only four hoars run from Toronto, the greatest English city on the continent its postal and telegraph facilities its healtbfulness, from natural causes, such as pare water, naturally drained soil its edueatiooal advantages, c., c.,' all of which add to the importance of cur village as it is, and its prospects in future. ^BE tSBBBlB ODBE^iSKi We h«rn. thwagh ti».™«««f our exehai^es and ntiwrwiae, tta» â- â- â€¢ estahlislimftnt of eh«w» fcctories and maiHifr ^*°"'» g of.cheeaa la sMaaily giowing in Hat and anzioanding torn- ties. The lesoits rf the past few yeaza, bemgthe infan^of the busineai ia this dutriet. has been^ on the whole, satisfactory, not only in the increased profits from the dairy, bat in deereas- ingtha labor in connection with batter making. We have no doubt the establishment of cheese factories through these northern counties will be the com- mencement of better times, as the soil, spring water and country generally is well adapted to this class of farming, and will have a decided tendency to- wards improving the fertihty of the soil and at the same time extermina- ting Canada thistles and other noxious weeds. We are glad to be able to note a decided advance this season the oheese market, which opens firm at two cents higher than last year. This wiU almost cover cost of manufactur- ing, which is an important item. This, along vrith the early season, will be very encouraging to those in the business. ^mtBSpnuAmite* NEW MAIL BQUTE. While we in Markdale are well served with postal facilities, having two mails a day each way, we would not forget those who are not so for- tunate, or in fact are very poorly ac- commodated. Walter's Falls for in- stance, a prosperous village twelve miles disttmt, with but two mails a week. This is an age of progress, and year by year the rural community are beeoming more anxious to know tbe doings of the world, and to have the news prompt and direct from tbe prsss. We can see no valid reason why Walter's Falls may not have a tri- weekly mail from both Markdale and~Meaford, thus serving a large number of ratepayers between those ))oints. As it is, the mail is conveyed on Tuesday and Friday each week from Walter's Falls to Meaford and return, while it is forwarded from Markdale to Harkaway every Friday. Now Harkaway is only five miles from Walter's Falls, direct on the way, thus leaving a gap of only five miles to be supplied. It is 12 miles from Walter's Falls to Markdale and 14 to Meaford, 60 that the expense of forwarding tbe mail from Walter's Falls to Meaford and Markdale and return each alter- nate day, would not be increased very matmnally over what it is at Uie pres- ent time for instance, a man at the Falls had the contract, leaving home for Meaford on Monday morning re- turning same day, and on Tuesday to Mark^bkla and return same evening, and so m during the week, tiius con- necting with the mid-day mail both at Meaford jand Markdale. Such a mail serviee wo«ld serve well, not only the people of Walter's Falls and vicinity, but also Harkaway, Strathnaim and all intervening points. What say Walter's Falls people to this schmne.

Sib, â€" ^Whereas various and malioieos false- hoods have and are being circulated by James Henry and VI. G. Glassford. calculated to mislead the public with regard to the breed- ing, Ac,, of our imported horse. Lord Derby, we deem it our duty to let the public at large know the real facts of the matter, 1st. Those part-es have said Lord Derby is not a tare horse â€" not over 20 per cent, of his mares last year were in foal :â€" to this we would say 80 per cent, of his mares were in foal. 2nd. Those glib gentlemen have the cheek to tell ttie public we offered 92,300 for their horse, General Gordon, but we wanted six years to pay for him. To this second false- hood we would say we thought so little of him w% never made an offer neither directly nor indirectly. We don't deal in half-bred stallions. 3rd. These persons state Lord Derby never took a first-prize until he came to this locality. Li answer to thiB,Lord Derby neVer was beat in his class but once, taking first prize wher- eyer he was shown. 4th. Now, as to the pedigree of General Gordon he is not nor can he be registered either in Clydesdale stud book nor in the Shire class, although every effort was made to get him registered, all efforts failed. You ask the reason. Why, the reason is sinrply this, be is not a pure bred horse his siie was a half-breed, and of course he can't be anything else but a mongrel, NoWr as to Lord Derby's pedigree, he was the first registered Clydesdale stallion im- ported into Canada. He is registered in the Ssatch stud book, also in the American and Canadian stud books, and is now registered in new Canadian herd book. Should any person have doubts about this matter, we would refer you to Henry Wade, Esq., Sec- retary of Canadian Herd Book and Agricul- tural and Arts Association, Toronto, from whom all information can be had of the merits and demerits of the aforesaid stallions. Mr. J. B. Trimble, of Markdale, has the I documents in his possession which will con- vince the most skeptical that Lcrd Derby is a pure bred Clydesdale horse. Now, Mr. Editor, we hope we have not trespassed too much on your valuable space, we simply wish to 80t ourselves right with the public and set at rest for ever those evil disposed persona whose sole aim and delight is to raise falsehoods about onr horse and scatter them broadcast over the land. We unhesitatingly say Lord Derby is the best sire horse of his data stands in Canada to- day. We stood pledged to the fanners of this country (who have stood neUy by as) to replace Garfield with another and a better horse, which we have done to the best of onr ability. We are the puUie's Obedient servants, TbIXBU A-PlCXKUt.
