Further enquiry brought out the fact. that the piece hands in the Goderich shoe shops had never definitely settled upon a bill of wages, and that owing to the increased cost of living, the men came to the conclusion that a died rate, so arranged aa to give an increta of wag ee to the worker, was necessary. •A memorial to the employers was drawn up, attached to which was a scale o' prices. On Monday morning the piece hands failed to turn up ; but before the forenoon wore away the employers were handed the memorial. Had the mani- festo been sent to the employers on Fri- day or Saturday, it is quite probable no strike would have occurred. As it was, the loading shops, after a few unity. portant changes had been made in the scale, acquiesced, and, with the ezceF- don of one or two of the strikers who gut "full," and remained "full" for sev era' days, the men soon returned to their benches, and no hard feelings were ore - ated between roasters and men. The increased rate is estimate' at about 10 per cent. The wages of piece hands range from $7 to $12 a week, according to the skill and industry of the work men. There were eleven men en strike. The following is the "ltalaoate r_ To Mr. E. Downing. Moats. Downing& Wod dup. Win.

It seems that a quarrel took place,and the wife ran away from her husband, carrying with her all his book, of accounts, notes, securities, &c., leaving hien nearly worthless. She then sued him for alimony, and obtained an order from the local Master at Coderich for payment to her of six dollars per week from her husband during the progress of the suit, or, as tho lawyers call it, for in- terim alimony. The husband appalled from this order to Chancellor Boyd, who directed that until the wife returned all the securities, notes, &c., with which she eloped, the order need not be acted on, and the wife must look after herself. If, however, these are restored the pay- ment of the $l; a week is to be enforc- ed. ■araer Neter. The Explorer is l,.ade.: will: •sts, fur. her first trip this season.
