My Dear Sir,--As my settling here
some eight months since was entirely due
to the glowing accounts and representa-
tions of the Board of Aid, which have
since proved to be so very deceptive, both
as regards the quality of the land, and
prospects of stock raising, that | must
ask you to excuse my writing to you as
acting Chairman to the Company, to
express the surprise and disappointment
that l feel.
Coming in the winter like many others,
was referred by you to Mr.. Hill, described
as ''successful farmer" who corroborated
the statements made in your first pam
phlet, that turnips, oats, potatoes, &C.,
grew abundantly, clover, and grasses, two
anil three tonS tO the acre and some of
the finest pasture in the United States, all
of which statements have proved to be
entirely untrue. l was also informed
that Mr. j. Boyle the Vice-PreSident
to the company, believing so strongly
in the country had bought a farm
for his son for the purpose of sheep
raising, but now hear that only an option
purchase has been made or at best the
land is not yet decided. Now as this Was

WANTED TO FIGHT.

James Rock was out for little lark last
night, and in preparing himself for good
time, he imbibed quite freely of poor whis-
key. Instead of becoming more good
natured as the liquor took effect, he was
converted into a pugilist. He wanted to
whip somebody and as no one appeared
to be punished, he wanted to chastise the
bar keeper. The latter objected, and a
policeman was called.
Rock changed his mind, and thought the
punishment of a policeman would make
him supremacy happy He did not become
the happy individual he thought for. as
the policeman landed him in the armory,
and this morning Justice Chopper fined
him So for his fun
