RAtswat. MEETING .—A meetiug
of representatives of ,Goderich,
Blyth, Brussels, Listowel and in•
tervening municipalities, was called
to take place at Brussels on Monday
last, the •ollj•ect of the meeting be-
ing to take action with a view of
promoting the extension of the CP

Listowe3, Brussels and Blyth.
An English barrister voluntarily
palmed himself off as drunk and
was committed to prison in Torouto
in ,order to write up the -horrors of
that institution. And here is what
says• the wicked Toronto Telegram :
"We view •tho Globe's printed
glimpses of the horrors of the city
dungeons as tho most sensational
contribution to Collodion journalism
since a' 'Guelph philanthropist pre-
sented a pail of skim milk to the
staff •of the Mercury."
• MR. JOHN MOONE't' has sold the
fine team of Canadian bred brood
mares, to which we referred last
week, to the noted horse fancier of
Goderich,• Mr. A. M. Molloy. Tho
best.of'everything is to bo had. in
Clinton, and wo congratulate Mr.
Polley on his excellent judgment
and good fortune in securing ..from
Hr. Mooney Probably the finest pair
of nnnes in the province. And
when a veteran horseman like Mr.
Polley bows to the superior judg-
meat of Mr.,'Mooney a' deserved
coldplimenatis paid to our citizen.
THE OPEN COURT, a scientifically
ethical and religious journal, seems
to improve with each succeeding
number. When we first. perused._
it wo had some misgivings lest our
orthodoxy •should_ become weary of
the too liberal thoughts which
find vent through The • Open Court.
Ent in the editorial articles
'as well as in. those contributed by
Max Muller, James Parton, Richard
A. Proctor, and others, one must be
over fastidious if he cannot find
much to agree with and much more
to poudorover and it may be to men-
tally combat. , Sometimes when
reading The Open Court we call to
mind the ar'gulllentative Scotchman
who in taking his toddy with a
friend could not get hiui into an
argument. Ifo brought clatters to a
focus by exclaiming "Godo, leen,
why liana ye contradict meso I Call
ken there aro twa o' us?" When
reading The Open Court. we aro
quite satisfied that there aro twa o'
us. The, Court is published fort
