The above item is false in every psrti-

were not warranted by the information

withdraw one word. But when last week
]Ira Morley came to (l derich and ask -

mune, :oaks further reference to this

made the victim. Mrs. Marler may
answer for herself, and show that she is
free of blame, hut she noel not attempt

the 'bus driver. We shall shortly
publish the full particulars of the plot,
sad when it 1. shown that the poor girl
Bates was drugged with wine by interest-
ed parties, some excuse will be found for
the eccentric manner in which she is *l-
ifted to have acted by Mrs. Morley.
As far as the N*or is concerned, that
journal published the statement of Mrs.
Morley at the request of the editor of
THIS SIGNAL, and there was no compnt-
sieoo in the mutter.
If Mrs. Morley is wise she will employ a
more reliable person to bolster her muse
than the Ananias of the Clinton rowdy

Ste Richard Cartwright delivered •
magnificent address on Liberalism in the
Grind Opera House, Toronto, on Tues-
day evening, to a Targe audience. in ad-
dition to dealing with the questions at
issue between partici* at the present
time, he pointed out the necessity for a
"new departure," and showed that the
''new departure" must be towards the
line of democracy and the establishment
of an independent Caned' a nationality.
Every well-wisher of Canada will ear-
nestly pray for the day when Canada will
see fit to twee itself from leading strings,
and take to itself an :nalependent place
amongst the nations of the earth. 8elf-

is what Canada wants, and the foft mete

Sir Richard Cartwright, in his intrr-
duetory remarks, spoke at some length
on his conversion from the Tory to the
Reform side Of politics, and said that as
he was in the company of Mr. Gladstone
in this respect he need have no more
misgivings. He then proceeded to re-
view the work of the last session of Par-
liament, and in doing so he spoke of the
aims which the Liberal party, in his
judgment, ought te have before it, the
best means of attaining the end in view,
and the danger which confronted the
Liberal party. Taking up the last por-
tion of the subject, he stated that he

HAMILTON, May 20. -About 3 o'clock
this morning, at the rolling mills, at the.,
foot of Stuart street, a young elan nam-
ed Charles Kirkwood met his death in a
sudden and horrible manner. Kirkwood
was employed as what is termed a r.ugh-
er ..n the guide mill. Previous to the
accident the unfortunate young man had
been reclining asleep on a short seat or
forum, as was the custom of the mill hands
when they were waiting for the signal to
start work. H• was lying on one side
of a Ry wheel and another rougher was
stretched on the other side, with still
another rougher and • boy lying in front.
The sats on which they slept were pro-
tected from the wheel by • boarding

feet would be hanging ores the seat was,

an employee blew the whistle as ■
signal for the omen to get up, and

observed some object revolve upon she

across its fop. Stopping the wheel, he

THE ISvIDRNCL
Rebecca Bates, sworn -I was in Clin-
ton about four weeks ago, on a Tuesday,
at Mrs. Morley's hotel ; remained then
from 3.30 to 7.30 p.m. ; one of the
young sten tame to use and asked me if I
was going to stay all night, and I said
no, but I intended to go to a . friend's
house ; he said if I desired to stay I could
do so ; Mrs. Morley calve afterwards
and maid it was time young girls were at
the place they intended to stay ; her
house was full and oonla not keep me. I
thou left and went to the Commercial
Hotel, and asked if they had room then,
as I wished to stay all night, the reply
was they had no room. 1 told Mrs.
Morley that her son had. given me per-
misoion to stay ; Mrs. Morley's tan told
we lie was the proprietor of the hotel.
I was in Mrs. Crib's sitting room ; I
took off mythings there ; it was owing
to what rs. Morley said to me that I
took my things out of Mrs. Cr•ib's
room sue left. After I oonld nut
find *he house I was looking for, Hen-
ley's, 1 got back to Mrs. Morley's ;
I did nut enter the hotel ; I looked •
cousiderable time for Mrs. Henley's
and got hot, not knowing where to find
the house. I saw • young man walking
up and duwn opposite Mn. Morley's :
thought he was following me ; he asked
me where I was going and I replied to •
friend's ; he then said, won't you come
t., mine t 1 replied, who are you, and
what are you d my coming bock in
front of Mrs. Morley's was an accident,
not by design, and while I was looking
for Mrs. Henley's. I saw a horse and
buggy opposite Mrs Merley's hotel, one
person was in it. The mac in the bora
asked me to get in it, and I did
thought he was going to the station ; I
asked him to dote on, but he said he
couldn't until another person got in, as
ills horse belonged to a roan a Seeforth;
I objected to any more getting into the
buggy. The other man came out of the
hotel and jumped in ; they then drove
oft, a third person was hanging on to the
buggy. After we got a short way out of
Clinton I tried to get out of the rig, and
said they had to get out or I would. 1
pulled the lines and stopped the horse,
and jumped out. One of them asked me
to g. to Seaforth and stay at the Queen's
hotel ; 1 said I wouldn't go ; this was be-
fore i got out of the buggy. I *eked the
man who was drisiu;; to stop the horse
befor. I jumped out ; he would not stop
but drove faster. until I pulled the lines,
myself and stopped the horse and jump-
ed .tut. I was sitting between the two
in the boggy. neither of them held me
nor prevented me from pulling the lines;
I did it suddenly. Atter getting out of
the bugler, one of them caught me, it
was either the one .4 those in the bultty
who sat at my right, or the .one outside ;
the nuau who was driving sat at my left ;
the person who wt on the right threw
me upon the ground ; 1 was violently
used by one of the persons ; I was forci-
bly hell, one 0f thew had me by the

and one mid if I would sign the poses
he would let me go ; they went off and

however, that I have yet .noufh "vim"
and facts to produce to "shake the self-
conceit out of Clinton and the New Bre
together, as far as the railroad question
goes; and this I purpose to do in another
communication, if you, sir, will grant tee h
space in your columns to do it.
You lately, sir, gare a "parallel case"
as between Kingston and Goderich ; I
shall now after you another as between
the Clinton New Ent and a writer in the
London Prototype newspaper, in which 1
gut personally involved in a paper war
0n the then electing subject of a railway
from this to Brantford, exactly thirty-two
year ao.
In 4841i:early spring of 1862, when the
Brantford and Buffalo folks were agitat-
ing for • railroad between these two
places, In Lewis, "(%'illy" Wallace and
others beset me with match importunity
to take the lead in an agitation for the
oeotinuenee of the road from Brantford
to Goderieh ; • they called a meeting at
the "British," at which I was literally
forced into* position is which (for rea-
sons whieh I may at another time ex-
plain to yaw) I was utterty hopeless of
se cceeding. But, haying undertaken
the responsibility, and secured the cor-
dial cooperation of the Luya1ut wide
the Messrs. Woodcock, and Tse Swo*G"
under the Messrs. Cox, nose no time in
bringing the matter bebr. the pnbfie.

don ons in daa<er .' jelled es Clinton is to-

in the Prototype, asmwhat

was laughed and sneered at, (in the New
Era fashion of the pr.seot day,) for ae-
tertatuing the very idea of a railway
from Brantford to (lod.rish, Or t•
nd.ed
from any other place. It is no nti ota-
tioo, sir, to say that I felt heartily sick
of the job 1 had undertaken, and was
almost resolved to "throw up the sponge"
tit once, for I had never seen a railroad,
n or knew anything of the ground over
which it would ham to travel. But, seen
Ending out that my friend "Bluderbus"
was simply the sister of the proprietor,
sub -editor of the paper, and an aa maid
to boot, I went at it again with perhaps
more vim than at first ; we had three or
four "rounds" of a fight, the war ems -
se, and Gederich got a railroad, "Blun-
d•rbos," to the contrraarryy notwithstand�
ing. And, jut as smrslj ehadl we soon
have another, in spite d cin oppeettion
of the New Bra even if basked by Clin-
ton. But, the agitation mud be kept
u p unceasingly, just as it was almost day
by day in the olden time. for nearly*
whole year, or success need scarcely be
hoped for.
And now, sir, in conclusion, I beg to
offer our ambitious neighbors out the
road, • few friendly suggestions ; which,
if taken and acted upon in the spirit in
which they are given, will be found cal-
culated to take much of this vile comity
