UxxIxD AND UxoES weeks
Ottawa Republican, in closing two column
article about the late fair, says:
Before closing, we must be allowed
to say, that a good deal of fault wa, found
with some of the awards; also TINT
not altogether com Irendable and that
affair, in the interes Of clique, instead of
by the people and for the people. We rather
incline to the opinion that there is too much
truth in it."
Considering the large amount of gratuitous
labor that has been done by the officers Of
the Society during the last year, directed
wholly to the one purpose Of taking its affairs
out of the hands of few and placing them
into the hands of the many, and the success
of the effort, the above is less unkind only
because it shows so much ignorance and
stupidity. The Secretary. in particular,
spent months of time, for which he never
received pennys compensation, in devising
plan, and putting it into execution, by
which he not only paid off the heavy debts
of the Society, but placed its ownership and
management into the hands of men, nine
ten,hs OF whom are farmers, and who are
evenly distributed through all the towns Of
the county.
After the present officers had not only done
all this, but had also borne thu thankless
labor of getting up the late fair, which, in
many respects, was the most successful the
Society had ever held, 10 be assailed with
kicks and cuffs like the above, instead OF
rewarded with thanks and plaudits, as they
really deserved, is enough to discourage any
officers and break down any society.

"AfL SOLDIERS" The world in general
despis.sa sneak. When man pokes his
nose ipto, another mans business and its
none oi.his business, he must not complain II
his Noes get a wringing. Especially would
such complaint be ridiculous if he found out
nothing abou. his neighbours business, and
wentof and told wrong stories about it.
Before Mr.. Grover reported that We GEM
pioy no soldiers in our Office, he should
havebornc in mind the saying of a sensible
man: that "When you talk about thing you
know aothing about, you are apt to make a
fool ST yourself" We have three men in
our employ old enough to have been soldiers,
aid two of them were in the army. True, they
did NIT setve Hour years, but they served out
the time for which they enlisted Both the
proprietors of,he FREE9TRADEs have been
soldiers, and we fatter ourselves that one OF
them, at least, won some distinction. How
is it Nth. Messrs. Grover & Wirick? They
were both hale, hearty men, in the prime oil
life, during the whole ofthe late war; and
both were furious war men. They wers
fierce for continuing our men in the field
and not let a soldier come home, until the
last rebel Was killed in the last ditch and
they were for starving to death the Union
prisoner in the hell at Andersonvile, before
one soldier should be exchanged until the
rebls should oe willing to exchange negroes
for white men. Did these blatant spitters o
fire and blood BUCKLE on their armor and &c
forth. to fight the battles of the Union, il
WHICH they were so willing others shoult
fght2-- Not mnch-if we know ourselves
We should like to have Brother Grover ex
plain a little on that delicate point.

Editors Free 7radr.-I wish to correct
an error of fact in the minority report Of the
Select committee o. the Board of Supervisors
on the Soldiers Memorial, as recently pub
hshed in the FREE TRADER. 1t is there stated
that. of the $500, 900 of bonds authorized to
be isued for bounties, there remains the
amount OF 5000 unissued, which can and
ought to be issued to the soldiers.
This is not true, as will appear from the
following statement, which any one can verify
by an inspection of the record in the Co.
Clerks office.

The Scientific american says that Colts

taken in connection with the statement of an

that The apprehenrions expressed in certain

though he tells us the yield is much less in
proportion to the amount Of juice than last
year, the molssses is as good a. ever. We
should say SO, unhesitatingly, judging by the
