It has peen sal 1 * some that the prices paid boy buyers and not the existence or non- existence of fens, give character toamar- ket, and that is true to a great extent; }out no live buyer will go to a market where fees are imposed upon the farmer if ho eau bey in a frea market as well sitnated. The fees are as unpopular with the buyer as with the seller. Few isutrketa ere are the rule in Canada Of :hose places which have retained fees during 1840, nearly all are dissatisfied. 'rhe Chatham papers complain of thea[; Mount Forest less abolished them, and the following motion, recently heard in the City, Council, indicates that the fees will soon be no more in London: Moved by Mayor Campbell, sec by Ald.

[We are pleased to learn that the late Mr. Squiers did not endure the pangs of hunger nor lack ,,f nourishment pre- vious to him death, and we believe that Mr. Gerrard and the other charitable neighbors will hereafter receive due re- ward for their kind actions. Even the Council (although Council members are not usually classed with the "salt of the earth") may hope to le remembered in the time Go cuuie, notwithstanding their action with regard to Squiers at the November meeting_ Our information regarding the straitened circumstances of the fancily was obtained from a good source, and despite the fact. that Mr. Gerrard and others, yea, even the Council acted so charitably towards the deceased and his family, we feel assured that had Squier received the attention and "nourishment," he so much required he would not have succumbed as sox'n as made to maintain our market and eneour- he did. En. ] age fanners and others to trade there: the-efor: , b, it resolve 1 that this com- mittee recommend that all fees in future ire abolished, and that notice thereof 1* :asserted in our city papers." The farmers of Downie recently held meeting to protest against the fees be- continued e- antinued in Stratford, and the press f that town are also in facer of abolish - ng the odious tolls. The _III -11 says: "That our market has not been as well &.tended by sellers for several years past is a well-known fact and there is the• strongest reason to believe that the ob- noxious fee is the stain reason. If - the market ware larger there would he more c ruipetitirrie and the smell ratepayers, who (oral the hulk of the population, would reap the benefit in low prices. Directly, there would be a small lose of arr revenue, but indirectly the removal of the fees would be a great gain to the town as a whole. The present market cleric Taid !1'2,000 fur the fees, but his entire collections will not amount to that . sum, and it is doubtful if over $1,500 , could again he realized. The market scales contribute about. $500, and the fees for measuring and grading wood which would be contieued, would reduce the deficiency considerable below $1,000. This we could easily afford to abandon for the sake sof a good market." Goderich has tried fees, and the trade it the ti,wn has been injured thereby, while the free markets near by are flour- ishing. \Ve hope the fees will be struck off, and that every encouragement will be given to farmers to conte into Gode- rich Bpd spend their money with us. A FARMER ON THE FEES. Editor Huron Signal. DEAR SIR, - I see by your issue of the 24th inst., a statement from a large number of the public linen of the town of Goderich, giving their views upon the abolishing or retaining • of the market fees of the town." I am glad to see there are but few of that intellectual capacity who are in favor of collecting a fee from the farmers et the surrounding town- ships. It is a good thing for the com- munity at large, that such a statement is made public, so that the agriculturists may know the leading characters, whose blind and mistaken notion for ten cents, per load of wheat wrung out of the pockets of fkrmers for the banefit of the town, reminds ate of putting a penny in the urn of poverty, and taking a shilling out. I think a few of these blind, insig, niticant drones, are in the way of Gode- rich's prosperity,and that imaginary ideas, to 'wheel farmers into paying fees, be- long to a century back. We, in Col- borne also remember the alto thrown at our lack of knowledge by hie worship the Mayor when we presented our petition against the odious fees, and will not soon forget his action on that occasion. Goderich may keep up its market tariff if it sees fit, but it should remember that there are other markets where we can dispose of our produce free of toll, and . we will not fail to avail ourselves of the opportunity of so doing, should Gode- rich foolishly persist on the present in- iquitions tax on produce. FAIR PLAY. Colborne, Dec. 17 1880. there& Surras. —The le:matde Metho- dists of this place having a debt of about 8270 on their (parsonage thought to re- move part of It by giving an oyster sup- per, which they did on Thursday Of last week. The meeting was largely attend- ed by the lovers of this tasty dish, but instead of getting their dishes well filled with oysters, they had 'to smell their oysters and drink their soup." The meeting was entertained by speeches from Rev& McKay, Presbyterian, of Bluevale; Harris, Meth.,dist,uf Brussels, after which Rev. J. Bryen, of Wing - ham, tried to raise the remainder of the sum by suberriptiens, and notwithstand- ing his many jokes and earnest login the people began to leave and ere long the church assumed a very empty form. Two farmers, named respectively Berk - with and Kelly, quarrelled and fought at Belleville, on Saturday, and the latter stabbed his antagonist with a locket knife idieting an ugly wound in the beck. They were arrested, and liberated un bail. BrowL. --- Win. (►reu►us, tonsorial artiat,fonnerly of Brussels, but now of Toronto, paid ua a flying visit one day last week. George Calvin lost a valuable horns one day last wee:; by iiflamntati.ut of the lungs. Aber. Cousins and William Roddick discovered a wild cart in A. Hunter's stable un Thursday last which they dis- patched with a ball club. It uneasured 3 ft. 3 in from tip to tip. Thos. Smith Inas started a livery in connection with the Queen's Hotel. No doubt Tutu will get his share of patron- age. As the faits in connection with the Syndicate bargain become more fully 1 known and are subjected to the crucial test of discussion, the enormity of the transaction and the loss the country will sustain by it becomes apparent. Knowing this. every effort was put for- ward by Sir John and his colleagues to stifle dissuasion. on the floor of the House, and to bring on the vote before the adjournment of Parliament for the holidays. But Hon Mr. Blake and his followers, haviugtheinterests of the coun- try at heart, after a determined fight finally succeeded in outgeneraling the Premier and his host, and the members will have an opportunity of learning iiuring the holidays what their constit- uents think of the transaction. Already petitions against the lnrgain are flooding in from the country, the first of the, pieties, from We Tillage of Brussels, on the borders of North and Centre Huron, signed by the Reeve, Councillors and business men of the place, irrespective of party, having been brought forward by Sir Richard Cartwright on Tuesday last.

We understand she will attend the Goderich High School next tern, anti we are sure her Pupils and many friends in Colborne wish her complete success in her studies. The trustees have engaged.: Miss Jones, an old pupil of Nol, and an honorable graduate of the Goderich High School as assistant teacher for next year and to complete Miss Reinheart's term. Mia Jones no }oubt has really merited some mark of favor for the honor she has con- ferred upon her "Mother School" by her success in the several examinations of the past year, and we feel certain that the kind encouragement which the re- presentatives of t people have given an old and worthy pupil of the school by selecting her front a large number of applicants, for the gift et their disposal, will ever be an honor to the section. The influence of etch encouragement will not be lost, either on Miss Jones or on many others who have already won honors for their school and who are flow looking forward to a stand in that time honored, institution the Goderich High School.
