Dean Siz, \u2014I noticed in your issue of the 7th inst., the following telegram, dated at this village, Sept.6th, viz.\u201c Scarcely bad the news of the Hon.T.D.McGee's victory over levlia been received at Hawkesbury village, than the inhabitants turned out en masse to celebrate the event.Large bontires were erected and fired in various parts of the village, and the principal stores and dwelling-bouses were illuminated.\u201d I must say, [ was very much astonished when 1 read the shove.The \u201clarge boutires\u201d there spoken of consisted of two flour-barrels, filled with shavings, which were placrd on the green in front of the pust-uflice, nud fired by about a dozen small buys, ranging from eight to twelve years of age.The \u201cprincipal stores and dwclling-bouses\u201d illuminated were three or four grog-shops aud one deserted hotel, lighted by about a dozen pieces of tallow dips.This is the sum end substance of the \u201c great celebration \u201d in Rawkesdury village, over Mr.McGee's victory in Montreal.Another error which I noticed in your paper « few days since was, that \u201ca number of Mr.McGee's supporters were on board the steamer * Queen Victoria\u2019 when she rua aground, on the 31st Augnst, and were thus prevented from recording their votes for Mr.McG.\u201d Tha*is not 20 ; the mails and passengers from that steamer arrived at this place before two o'clock p.m., on the 31st Aug, thus allowing over three hours for Mr.McGee's trieads tv record their votes.An EuecTon.Hawkesbury Village, Sept.10, 1867.REV.NEWMAN HALL.(Tothe Editor of the Montreal Witness.)
