He says that " some years since, as ho was preaching, a youog man who sat before him was con stantly laughing, talking and making un couth grimaces. Ho paused and adminis tered a severe rebuke. After the service was over a gantlamau said to him : ' Sir you have made a great mislaks; that young man was an idiot.* Sincd then ho has been afraid to reprove those who mis behave in chapel, lcc( he should repeat that mistake and raprovo arctha - idiot.”— We also think it best that “South Oxford " should, iu charity, be allowed to hava bis little caekfo out to himself. It pleases him and hurts no one. only to maintain our very handsome circu lation but are aantinually increasing it. These are Iha reasons why we receive advortisemonta that our contemporary does not, aud, according to his own showing, get far higher prices than be does. We had good opportunity to know what the circa* latiou of the Chronicle wasept very Jong ago, in its palmist days, and it is not reasonable to bdiove that under its present management, with the carping, nagging, personal, trifling and vituperative tone which it has tailerly assumed that it should hara bean greatly increased. Be that as it may, wo Rope it may still fiufl enough readers who delight in that class of litera ture to keep it from going down until such ti nes as it geta into tho bands of respect able managment. The frequent allaoioDs which it bos recently made to our circula tion anl private affairs shows a want of tael in business whiqh is childish io the extreme, an 1 wo fiuppaqe that if ho finds no Other way la build up hia bneiaess except by harping upon us and publishing lying statomoqls, as per above sample, we sbali have to submit, as ha does not appear to have a soul above It. WHOLE NO. wo THE TOTEGS' LIST HITTER. To the Editor of Uie Oxford Tribune ; DEAR SIR,—It now appears what w w object of the article being inserted ig Chronicle two weeks since charging that the the the THE AunERsrDVDo Echo, a Reform paper, conducted by two courteous gentlo- mon, yetsaxa. Ealfouy and Auld, gives a full and impartial report of Iba Liberal CouBorvatiro pic-mo there «n Wednesday, iu which it is acknowledged the gathering was a great success. It estimates that 6,000 people were present. THE FOILOWING exeerpt is taken from the columns of the Montreal Star, an Inde pendent paper that tries with all its might to put in a good word occasionally for the Government. Thia is bow it deals will) the bogus offer to rc-purcbaso tho Ncebmg Hotel:— “The Ottawa organ of the Government is permitted to publish the following letter received by tfia I^opartmcut of Public Works P.

Besides ths Loys’ and girls' High Schools, there aro in that city 62 grammar schools, 182 secondary schools, 225 primary schools, sud 27 consolidated schools. The teachers number 1,932, of which 77 are males, and the cost of the school* for the year 1B76 was $1,688,73G.O2. The number of scholars on jJ^e rolls up to the close of lest year was 93,291, nearly squally divided belivceu the sexes, 49,692 being boys and 49,689 girls. REPORTS come from Thunder Bay that the Canada Pacific Telegraph Line be tween Sunshine (86 miles np) and Port Savanna (40 miles further) baa been re opened ; it was closed on account of the wretched manner in which it was kept last winter. The dredge has been at work for the last two or three mouths on tho im mortalized sand bar, riliag np that classic stream and trying to roach that ‘'beautiful clay bottom.” If it makes no difference to the Fort William people, we will not be lieve that clay story. BRIOHAM YOUNG the father of fifty- six children, and left seventeen wives, six teen sons and twenty-eight daughters. His will, which directs the division of his estate equally between his wives and chil dren when the youngest of the latter arrives at full ago, also provides that in the meantime the income shall go to the various mothers, aoesrding to the number of children, aud they can withold it if the children behave badly.

"That is altogether too tbin. In lb* first place it is notouslomary for the public departments to give to the press for publi. cation such ccrreapondencc as tbo above. Iu the next place tlio letter itself amounts simply to this, that Mr, Adam Oliver, with whom tills corrupt bargain was made, knowing, of course, that the Government have no iutonlion of takiug his offer, pro tends a willingness to buy Lack tho cote- brated Necbicg Hotel at tho price paid for it. Wo shall hear at tbo next Clear Grit picnic, as A complete answer to the charge of corruption m connection with this inn Iter, that so good a bargain was thia building, that Oliver and company are auzions to get it back at tho price paid for it. Why, however, did not tho innocent Evon if the Gc^brnmeut took him al bis offer they would still lose tho iutsrost on tho money paid for it. Perhaps, dear old schemer as he is, Adam will amend his offer in this particular. As wo have said, the little dodge is too thin.’' The above offer is on a par with an offer made by the same goutleman in our town about eighteen mouths ago. It will be fresh in tho memory of the ratepayers of Inger soll how Mr. Oliver succeeded in aesisting the Insurance Companies in defrauding the town out of about 52000 of Insurance money when out Town Hall was burned, and then to gfozo over his Lu ogling made an offer to rebuild the Halt for tho amount of ths award, but mode such stipulations in the offer that it was impossible for the Council to accept it. Ob, Adam I verily than art os deep ns the channel over the Kaministiquia sand bar. " CHEAP ADVERTISING" is no doubt appreciated by thoso who have adverlisiug to do, a* highly as any other merchantable thing, aud we fiavo to thank our contem porary for (he gratuitous advertisement which ha gave us in his Inti issns, but wlicu ho accuses us of giving diseriminot- ing rates ia the disadvantage of the local trade, we must check him in his misstate- drcuUtKia ket As STRAWS show which way the ^iild blows, so tbo vituperative, sonrilons and personal attacks, uncallcd-for accusations and jEistatcmcnlB wLinb baro found place tliopael fowwwki.iy lb? fDlaww Ol 951 contemporary, tho organ of tho Govern- mant in this vicinity, indicate that tho Re form party are loosing tha ground they once hold in this Riding and county. They are unable to mad the just accusation of misdeeds and chicanery which has boon brought to their doorand in a fit of despera tion throw off what little manhood and honor tli^y nitty nt otic time hnvo be*n supposed to have possessed, sink into tho lowest slums and quagmires of political degradation and hurl oat accusations and insinuations against IsiiMduals in a pri vate or public capacity without the slight est regard for truth or reason. Prominent Conseivatives aro accused with abstracting documents from tho sate of a public offL-ial and whoa that accusation is mot by Mr. Wells, who proves thattho documents wore not "abstracted" but asked for and received and that bo had a perfect right to receive them, the organ while tacitly admitting Mr. Wells to be in ths right follows on with n porverso.-i of wbat bo is pleasod to call “facts" to show that they were seen by Mr. Wells under unjustifiable circunutanocs. This crawling out of tho small end of tlw Lora isao dispicablo that the mean insinua tions which follow, and which fail to meet tho point of iho original necnsation aro uu- worthy of notice. Mr. Wells' character wo feel sure ho will not suffur by this most uu- warrantablo attack of the Chronicle nud wo can heartily endono Iba Ingersoll cor respondent of tbo London Free Brett when ho says “It is wall for this gentleman (Mr. " Wells) that bis character for honesty aud " honor stands high in public estimation. " Oar townspeople know him to bo an " Uoixorable, straightforward man,one who “ would not stoop to the contemptible acta “ ha is charged with, therefore tbo darts " thrown out by his political enemies will “ fall harmless, wouudiug only tbom- " splvcs." Sir. Woodcock, too, bos Leon aceused of what ?—of being a Tory—a grove charge no doubt in the eyes of the immaculate mouth-pieca of tbo organ of tha "pa»Jy of Parity." Ho, too, mnai bo ostracized for wbut forsooth, because ho gave a small advertisement to this (Tory) paper. Whit a charge, truly. Of couraa tho TRIBUNE falls in for its share of abuse, And coming from the scuree it docs is falls off our ahonlJora like water rolls from a duck's back. Tbo foci of tha uniter is the Conservative party in Ibis Cunaty ia found to hnveexistence and a numerical strength, which is making itaoH felt, and as tho time approaebes when, iu the natural courso of events, a general eteclion must take place, tbo Reform party which was f >nuir- ly supposed to bold undisputed doiniuiou over tbs Riding, finds itaslf weak, owing to internal disaonsioiiH. and they aro oadsevor- ing to bred discord in the ranks of their opponents by their vile slanders, in order tint they may no'. b> defeated by an un- . voters’ list objections bad been i^tracted from the safe of tho Town Clerk.* It was : supposed tliat no one would acknowledge he had anything to do with a charge su serious r in its aspect, and then it was intended that the same should bang over tho beads of the Conservative party, M a set-off to the notori ous letter-stealing affair. Now, however, that it fo found out by the editor of ths “penny whutlu ” that he hoa reckoned without bis host, and that if he will only adhere to the truth I am willing to father everything done with this so-called •• abstracting,” I am blamed for taking any notice of the article in question, and am told, no one would have known who was referred to if IzthvI kept quiet. No, thank you, " Lay Macduff.” Instead ot meeting the question fairly, as to whether I had tho right to see the papers at all or not on the day I did see them, u I contend I bad, and which ia tho only point that is open for argumen* he carefully avejds muting ms ou that issue, pasaea it by in silence, or as wo lawycaa WonU say, "p!aa<Js over,” and thereby admits I am right on tuai ppfoi, Ln* endeavors by as grots a falnilication and perversion of facts as ever was perpetrated to show that I saw them under circmnatances that did not justify me in the manner of seeing them. Supposing the " facts,” w be call} them, arc true in the way he puts them, and supposing—and it most Iw taken to be so, as be docs not attempt to dety it—that I had the right to seo the j-apen., what does it matter how J saw them and where ? It is begging the question. The way he puts his ease show# nothing ot an '* abstraction,” as he first led the public to suppose, as they show tho papers were handed to me by the clerk in charge of them. J charge him, however, with deliberate lying in tho way he puts whsi he says are the “fact,”—had he called them the falsehoods be would have hit thamark—and I say there is not one solitary word of truth in them, except as to so much of v.hat ho says abont my putting in an additional list, which Will stand or fall on its merits. He must tbiok the public arc cteily gulled if they imagine Mr. llrowa and Mr. Brady were acting in a high- minded manner in refusing to put in a supple mentary list. They could cither do it or leave it alone, and no thanks to anyboly. Mir. Brown read the list before Mr. Woodcock offered it to him, and if he had thought any benefit would accrue to his party bv filing A supplementary list he would doubtless hive done so, but he thought then and he still thinks the time had gone by for filing another. When the editor says he has nothing ogainit me, professionally or personally, in what way dues bo expect his tissue of falsehoods to operate upon me, both personally and pro fessionally, and tar wbat were they written if not to injure me in both particulars? Ai*d they undoubtedly will if believed. AB to hia concluding remarks requesting the Reformers not to cease doing brininess with me, there was in me a stjepgie between tho emotions of risibility aud derision when 1 read the aune,onn piece at business I have lost iu consequence of it. I hava kicked the defence of his slander suit of Rosa against himself out of «ny.office, declining to act for him any fnrthtT Uiereir. Ona thing I admit ; be has mere type, ink and paper, at l.is command than I Lave, arid aa if easts him no more to commit them to print m the shape of falw-booda than in facts, and as he docs not hesitate to so commit them, I can only say that it he continues in hia persistency to do »w “d thereby makes the public believe I have Jone what is wrong, and obtains the sotinfactioo <>I injuring me, I shall be obliged to allow tho little liar enjoy whai 1 think will be a very poor satiefsetion. FJe can inform his correspondent who wrote the article, “ One of the Harpies," and whose phraseology I perhaps am perfectly w«U ac quainted with, I understand what is be- coming a gentleman perhaps as well as he does, and that anything I can do cryay cwm it hurt the Conscrvatiys party.

SEPTEMBER 12, 1A77^ P$e*Jlox for Beef. Feeding catUa must in the future bo made cultures, will undoubtedly form tho three chief divisions of agricultaro in future. Thin waa of which are the gradual change of the soil from it* new condition to on* in which it most be fed systematically and scientifically ; the tnerousing popular demand. for meat, dai y prodacta, and other choice domestic an tplin, which are needed in a community whose manner of life is improving year by year, and also by tho necessity of conducting our industries in a very economical manner, *o and poultry, of a high qiality. Grain must be grown. There must be wheat, oat*, bar- we can no longer grow tliaso in a haphazard, Blip-shod manner, but only in a regular skill ful rotation with grass, green crops and root# interehanged, and liberal manuring is tho fint root* in any quantity, because of tbeir bulk, and also for the reason that, except for feed, ing beive*, sheep, pigs, anil COWB, nobody Want them. It is needles* to explain further to the farmer who has gone through >ome year#' experience in growing grais ami grains, how this ncceosity is rapidly forcing him to change hi* method*. There are some who have adapted th* new order of thing*, wad are satisfied with tho result*; there are ethers, however, who not seeing, or refusing to perceive, the pinch they are in, are going on in the old way, year by year growing poorer, more dissatisfied, and more given to complaining that '• farming don't pay any longer.” The trouble is not in their business, but in their poor management of it. We have frequently spoken of the need for better work, for higher culture, for enlarged yields, and for the meat economical and ekillful man agement. How to roach these, is the poinl, that they are necessary is nowhere disputed. Wo seo plainly, that it is only by choosing the most desirable branch of farmiag, suited for particular soils, location*, and other con trolling circumstances, and sticking to this ; bringing te the chosen business all the study, ■kill, patience and capital, that may be need ed. W* emphasize capital, because without this, ail the rest are unavailing. A farmer without capital is a slave ; with it, he has the means of utilizing all his other forces, or capabilities, to the utmost. No man can now bo a farmer without sufficient capital, any more titan be con be abankcr, a merchant, or a manufacturer. A man way go on to the prairie or into the woods upon a fresh home stead with very little capital, and worry out a poor living, but he sells himself to the Gov ernment for five years for this privilege, aud for that time, until be has the patent for his land in hi* baud, he i^not a free mm, but is ia bonds ; but to go into th* business of farm ing profitably, capital is needed. When tho particular branch is chorau, not from fancy, because this will not do, for there are dairy farms and grain farms, one of which will not suit the other bnsines* ; and there are milk farm* and market farm* in the vicinity of eitia, that can bo carried on nowhere else, and upon which other sort* of farming will fail; but the kind of farming te be chosen must bo that which can ba most profitably carried on under the clreumstwees and in the locality. Grain growing and mixed fuming, including the roaring or purchasing and feed ing of live stock, niuut necessarily form the largest branch of agricultural industry. As we have said, the one cannot be conducted nlcr.e, but mq»t be ajsirted by the other. It eotnea then to bo a most important consid eration, what kind* of animals arc tho most profitable to ksep, and how arc they to bo fed with moat profit. It is evident, from a view of what is going on in the live stock market#, that it cannot pay to feed an animal that re- quirt* four or Arc year* to mature, nor one that will not be extra in quality and of heavy weight. No beef animal can now be reaned or fed with profit, that will not reach a weight of 1,400 lbs. al least, at 30 month* old. A grade Shorthorn, or Hereford steer, of 1,400 lbs. at 30 months old, will sell for S70 to |80, if not more, and it is os certain as anything of the kind can be, that for many yean, to come the value of bAsf will net bo le** than now. The new foreign outlet for The Dairy latere*. The country ha* ©40,000.000 invested in 10,000,000 milch cow*, whose annual product ia worth 8275,142,68H, while the la«t cotton crop wa* worth only $200,000. The enormous nun of this dairy interest— which includei nothing of oxen, bidosormMt —will surprise every one who lias paid no at tention to it Tho fallacy which destroyed the hay argument ia partially wanting hero too- For, while our exportation of hay amounts to nothing, and hardly equal* conimiuption, there ia a great and rapidly growing export of butter, cheese, salt and fresh beef and live animals, The sum cannot be accurately com puted, and carries the particular valuation* into tho same elaasiflcation with cotton, For in all these interests the final appreciation doea not rest upon tho amount, how consider able feover that may be, which is consumed at home and so lost to Wealth but upon tho amount beyond consumption, which is export ed and enriches the land by its equivalent in gold or other needs and permanent worths. The gross value of cattlo for labor, manure, milk, cheese, butter, leather and othei ends, is susceptible of a vast addition and must necessarily expand with western settlement and increase the returns shown in onr foreign trade, while suitaining labor at home more abundantly and cheaply, and so enabling every industry to flourish in competition with less favored countries, and greater comforts- and luxuries to bo enjoyed by alt It will not hold the flirone it challenges any'morc than the hay crop; provided the southern energy, which has done so mn#h towards restoring it* early abundance, holds the course it has with the energy it is now showing. Bnt it may, anl apparently must, rendi a higher sum than any farmer or any statistician l:n* dreamed ; for, recovering Its total, it has no- quired the best blood of the best herd* of Europe; has given practical attention and study to fho manufsetore of cheese and butter; ha* given tho leather intermit a new power ; i* conquering Texas, California, Oregon and al! the new States, and la arousing wonder In and drawing money from Europe and Asia at tho same time.—N orth American, Sewing Rye for BolHn; To farmer* who Lave never sowed ry° f°r coiling in May and early in Juno, we would say try tho experiment now. The expense is bnt light—the labor with the farm horses, and the price of eecd, about one or one and a half bushels per acre, arc tho whole cost. Sowing fall rye is the first step in preparing for soiling cattle; the greatest difficulty in soiling cattle being tho want of early green food, and rye being the earliest forage plant we can grow. Mangolds JwiJl keep cgood fur feeding till tho rye ia Gt to cut ;aud tho;e who have not tried it will be surprised by the large quantity of freak, nutricioua food they will have on a ^small paddock that has been sown with rye in September. The rye may be cut in time to prepare the ground for a Juno crop of millot, or, if the soil bo not so heavy BS to require much preparation for a crop of tur nips. The rye crop when cut green for soil ing is also a benefit to the ground. The great quantity of roots serve to keep tlio soil from binding and also enriches it—it is the seed- bearing and ripening especially that tends to impoverisli soil. The ammonia enhaled by the denne foliage has a tendency to enrich the soil, so that if tilled imaiediately after tho removal of the soiling crop, it will be readily brought into good tilth far the succeeding erop. Rye, though not so close-growing a crop as clover, crows to a much greater height, so that we may safely estimate it to produce at least many tons to tho sere, and to feed as much stock aalong a* it is in condiVon for soiling. It ha* been ascertained by actual experiment that one rood of ground, well stocked'with clover, is sufficient to feed one cow for one hundred and eighty day*, if cut and fed to her, while, if allowed to ran on it would not last mure than two weeks. From thi* experiment an estirusta may be formed of the number of cattle f»d by soiling over that fed by pasture, ami how great may be the value of a pad lock of rye tor early feed- inp There is no cereal plant hardier than rye ; is grown extensively in the most northerly agricultural countries in Europe, and this ia much in its favor for our purpose for early ■oiling.

Happily for the public Jones conceived the idea of becoming a newspaper propriotoi. He had noticed that publisher* were, ne n rule, cross, surly fellows, who delighted to make their customers uncomfortible, and actually seemed to enjoy refusing th* re- fl nests of those who applied to them for slight favors. Jonos knew that such con duct was wrong, and ha determined that a long-suffering public should no longer be compelled to lie under a burden so grievous to ba borne. Ho would carry on a nows- t>Apcr, and ho would conduct it in KHCII a manner.that noue should bo offoudid or dissatisfied. Tha money at his command was ample for the purpose.

Being an industriond and capable inun, ho kept track of Iha whole business personally, and he knew jqst what departments were doing best, and whiohones required changes and modifications. His books were in good shape, nip] ho never uegiedted to keep post ed on the exact stalo of his affairs. Bitt all tho timo Jonos kept in mind hi? original res dution to deal good-naturedly with tho public. Ho lin 1 observed that the groat want of the ago was local notices.
