RE. QUEEN vs. MOKIBBON: -In this appeal the judge held that the bond put in by Holmes was no good, and so the appeal drops and the conviction stands. This was an appeal to the Sessions at Goderioh from a fine imposed by Mayor Neelands on R. H. Holmes, solicitor, for" assault. The bond referred to was approved by the town solicitor as being correct, and Mr. Neelands delayed the collection of fine and costs. It is probable that the appeal - ant's representative in Ontario will have the matter settled without further trouble. Seim WELL.—Drilling for salt In Wing - ham has at last proved a decided success and in a few days more the long sought for precious briny fluid will be on terra firma awaiting the manufacturer to convert it into salt. This salt well i6 another great load - stone, more wonderful in its magnetic power than the great loadstone of the north. It has already attracted and drawn large sums of money from the . Wingham treasury; it shall draw bonuses from the sur- rouniing municipalities; it shall draw the C. P. R., one of the greatest railways on the continent, into Wingham. Farmers and manufacturers shall find the needle of their compasses always in the direction of Wingham; they shall sleep with their heads towards Wingham, and dream of a new city where Winghatn now stands, and wake up and flull their dream a reality. But the present great scene of attraction in Wingham is d'. B. Ferguson's new popu- lar book store, 7)aweon's block, opposite A Parting Word. To the Editor of Ten Tisza. Sm,—The self -elected mentor of public morals, Mr. Frank Buchanan, la good enough to brand me as a coward for not giving my name when adminis- tering to him a well merited rebuke for detaining the anti -Scott Act citizens of Wingham. Now, Sir, itis not cheap notoriety that I am seeking, but, rather to combat one who presumably believes he has a right to traduce respectable citizens when he chooses to do so, calling them cowards, snakes in the grass.• howling dogs, and window -smashing vaga- bonds. I might have gratified Frank's curiosity had he not tarnished his last communication with such unseemly epithets, and so grossly offended good taste. What will his friend and defender from Sleepy Hollow now think of his Toronto protege? Will tie again undertake to defend him without met informing himself as to the extent Frank has trans- gressed tho limits of decency? Will this sanctimon- ious gentlemen from Sleepy Hollow falsely tell your readers, when quoting what I have said on this matter, that "it is extremely amusing to witness his endeavors to show to the readers of 'rem TIMES that the Scott Act is all a political dodge?" Sir, It needs no "medical commissioner" to make It clear that this sapient Christian purposely misquoted me. To exemplify, I will reiterate what I did say, viz.: "The foundation and mainspring of this burning question that disturbs public sentiment, and ie fast sapping the foundation of society, is, in my humble opinion, a political subterfuge, for political endo, and not the interests of morality or well bein1g of the suben. liver - Jed. Mowat aro battlingator the o troloof the liquor traffic, with the view otetrongtheningtheir respective positions." If such sentiments are amusing to the gentleman from Sleepy Hollow, they are none the less facts that cannot, 1 think, be successfully re- futed. It he will wake up to the timte and take a Cashel review of the tactics of the two political parties, he will not again treat this subject so flip- pantly. Thanking you, Sir, for the oppoitunity given mo to correct the willful misrepresentations made by the accommodating gentleman from Sleepy Hollow, I will take my leave of this matter, and leave Frank and his friend to their own roaootions.
