The following, from the editor of the
Mitchell Adruc.ite, will be news to the
Reformers and Conservatives in this sec-
tion, who know the oiroumatauces attend-
ing the withdrawal of the protest against
Holten Porter, M P., fur West Huron.
It will also be news to Mr Porter, W
John Brown. and t,, Robert Birmiag•
ham. It fully exemplifies the adage that
"one has to go away from home for boom
news," and it also proves that lbs talent-
ed liar who wrote it to endeavoring to
rival Tom Pepper, that well-known truth
e conomiser, who is reputed to have bees
exiled from Hades b:ause Beelzebub
