In the last item of Ties Scott 1 took

l iy the re.tlemen who for the ounce
occupies the position of editor of the
inures! in leestwe, or any other news-
paper, in which 1 feel staved to give vent
to my reflections (n esen and things.
But the editor, evidently, dues um un-
derstand me, and nut kuowtug that I
disdain custom or ceremony of all
kinds, he mud seeds introduce me to his
readers after • (settle!' the most ap-
proved of, 1 presume. For his kindly
intentions he has my thanks ; fur his ad-
hering to custom 1 thank him not. My
mission is to sbow that the customs
whirl obtain and the methods that rule
are not in a000rdauee with the eternal
fitness of things ; and yet, forsooth. he
would hamper me at the outset by intro-
ducing
nterducing me to my friends, the pu►lie, just
as he would do were I • stickler fur the
customs that are now become common.
Verily, he would place me in s strange
position had hells power -which 1 would
have my readers `tbor•ughly :understand
he has not. In his introduction, with
that thorough Milesian love of blunder
which the editor has Dome by honesty
through heredity, he first alludes to cos-
tain "oddfuh" who, he would' have yes
believe, • e little better than what our
American cousins would call "cranks,'
and states that after having been badg-
ered by "severs!" of them, be bas
finally consented to allow • column or w
of Tug blOrle,L to be taken up by the
opinions of these "oddfish," - said
outman to be under the editorial charge
of Addenda, "a representative specimen
of this gents literati." So I am one of
the "opddfish," the editor would have you
to believe. Well, perhaps 1 am ; yet
when i look abroad I see many far more
odd than I, without the candor to ad -
wit the fact. In his closing remarks
the editor perpetrates the Hibernianism
to which I bate before alluded, by stat-
ing that the specimen "oadish" who is
to edit the column which has been de-
voted to "cranks' -his acquaintance,
Addenda -is "a man of wisdom, integ-
rity and ripe literary parts." Even
editors dont always look before they
leap.

The list of epithets crossed the
Atlantic and in dos time appeared in
the columns of the PaU .Null Gazette
with an editorial reference thereto which
dated that Sir Richard had called his
opponests the approbrious terms there
given. A short time since the Tory pa-
pas* copied the list and comment from
the fall Men Brolott, and strove to
prove therefrom that Sir Richard was
foul of speech. Hon. Mr. McLelan,
(who in years past alluded to Sir Charles
Tupper as "the high priest of corrup-
tion.") endeavored lately to make capital
against the member for South Huron in
the House of Commons by reading the
extract from the Pall Mali Bridget. Sir
Richard Cartwright in reply. stated that
the item in the English newspaper was
erroneous, inasmuch es the epithets bad
bow cast at him by his opponents, in-
stead of, as was alleged by the Budget,
being used by hien against them. There
are hundreds of men in Huron who
heard Sir Richard read off the list of
epithets at Seeforth, and remember the
facts of the case, but even that does net
hinder the Mail from coming forward in
a brazen manner, and claiming that the
int was one compiled by its editor from
speeches made by Sir Richard Cart-
wright. Tradition has it that a gentle-
man named Tom Pepper who was a con-
s.mmate liar, died and went to that
place which was prepared for liars and
the father of lies. So great a (slain.,
wee Pepper, however, that Beelzehub
kicked him out of hts domains rather
than have the remainder of his subjoin.*

Mail leaves this mundane sphere history
will likely repeat itself in the realms of

O. God! that bread should be so dear
Aad Ash aad Wood 0001001W- Hour,
Our attention hes been drawn to the
fact that the bakers of (loderich are
charring far more for their bread than
the price of flour warrants them in do-
ing. Times are hard and money is
scene, and under the circumstances no
extortion should doe made by those who
have the furnishing of the stet! .d life.
So great • disparity exists het ween the
price of bread in Gedench and that of
Clinton that several of our townsfolk
are yin the habit of obtaining their bread
from the letter town. There is, we are
informed, a difference of two cent. on a
twit the meaner in whish the merrily is hot•rea, see noel, sed having earn bar

The League and American
have held their March maeetisp, as!
now nothing remains to be done before
the opening games but to pot the
grounds in order and engage in practise.
It is to be regretted that the mutt/
tugs
neglected to amend the rules :te-
eming the pitching and batting so that
the work of attack and defence might be
made more equal. Ceder the new rules
of the leepte, though the pitchers' lid el
anfatr halls has been redwood from seers
to six. he has received greater latitude
iu delivery by his being permitted to me
the overhand throw. This will not in-
crease his speed meek, bot 11 will enable
bnm to throw the ball in with psalm so
curacy in directio., ad aloe suable bill
to give the down shoot with greater
fseil•
ity. The batsman, boomer, is left to
du as beat he can against the increased
facilities given the pitcher, while he hes
but three fair balls to stnke et before he
is pot out.
One result will le mere chance hitting,
and wailer nailing sora will be nude.
and the gams be made mora of a meted
between two competing batteries thoslpo
between the two nines as a whole.
1n the American association the pitcher
is limited to the underhand threw below
the shoulder. and he is allowed to pitch
schen unfair balls, the batsman being
permitted but three fur balls to drt'to
at.
The league has made batting svgs
more diMoult that Whirs Those wbe
advocated a change in the batting roles
as as to give the batsman greater trended
in hitting, argue that by allowing the
batsman six fair balls to strike at instead
of three, and Calling every other fair boll
only s strike, instead of every fair bag
as now, the batsman would he able to
punish the swift pitching without die-
culty, and the pitchers wooti have to re-
sort more to stratege for moons' rather
them te more speed as now, and. ie sow
ssgessee, lively batting would be added
to the bolds* attractions of the
a /sosa
As k now, however, the rob,tbilit !s
that ere shalt sen more than ever these
rather tedious trials of speed is the game
between the two swift pitchers of the
cesepetit.g Warne. Mees Yorh Boa.
