Good for you, brother Ellis,
and for the good people of Tois-
not and vicinity. Mr. Mills is
not here to speak for himself
tlirough the FitiESi), in regard to
not calling ou you in his recent 1
trip, but we know enough of-tlie j
circumstances of his trip to say j
that, owing- to the limiUid tiino at
his eoinmand in whicli to fill a
jweriously arranged prograinnie
lioiofe the meeting of tlie Grand-
Isjdge, lie was obliged to pass
places that lie tvould otherwise
iiave taken pleasure in visiting.
We hope the good jieople
around Toisnot tviil carry out
the suggestion in the articlu from
which we take the above extract,
and that we shall get ‘those peas’
and Other things yet; they will
pleasantly viu-y the monotony of
turnips during the winter.

most kindly of the performances
