DEAR Sift, -I believe 1 speak the
s li''inaent of a large class of y..ur read-
ers when 1 say that thew interesting
letters have proved a source of great
entertainment to us all, and that persuu-
ally we feel under au obligattuu to the
author, and shall regret very touch when
they are brought to • clow. Fortunate
ly the writer not only plraaeaaea the will-
ingness to give, but he also bas the gift
to describe in • most vigorous and
graphic wanner the stirring events on
which he was au prominent • figure;
therefore instead of cryiui; Balt, we
should like him to coutiuue hu interest-
ing narrative until it assumes the Journ-
al.. n* of a book, which he can finally
leave behind him as a fitting wumulnent
to lis pluck and ability as au old llurou
pioneer.
As the old settlers of flew town and
the neighborhood oil 113 peemig away, the
opportu.ri&ties for obtsu.tag i.for:u.tiuu
regardl.g the county heif • century ago,
will soca tiec..we rip -woody dilti.•ult, if
not impossible, in view ..f •Inch w..ull
it not be desirable to encourage as tar as
You can, c.rrwp,nduucr of this macre,
otherwise it may be tau late to obtain
thee., precious bits of local nutury, which
the future compiler would ounaider of
such great value.
The frequent and kindly •llu.ions to
Little Ben are a just tribute to the mem-
ory of a most worthy and conactentiow
moan. It was my good fortune, over
thirty jean ago, to be favored with his
acq•laintancu, and wrl du I bring to
rind the high esteem in which he was
held as a citizen, while in matters of
bu.inem he was looked upon as the very
pink of honor. If I remember correctly,
he roiled his days in • house opposite the
o ffice of the Big Mill, and it is fresh in my
memory today, the universal sorrow ex-
p.essed by the mouraers, as in company
with so many of them I had the honor
of following him to his last resting place.
When I read of the dangers and pri
rations your worthy correspondent and
his comrades underwent at that time, I
am forced to the conclusion that the
affair at Sarnia In '66, was after all but
a little holiday jaunt, where the pleasing
recollection of the good times we enjoy -
/
ed will tar outlive tho thought of any
possible inc:nreoieoce we may have
endured. Incidentally I might remark,
what a pity that old historical dug -oat
was not takers care cf, as it would have
formed a most interesting commencement
fear a local museum. In conclusion, allow
me to express the opinion that while
the 'gnat city dailies will continue to
furnish the important tutelligeoce from
the world at large, that we look more
than ever to oar local sheet for what le
going on immediately around as, and
the paper that can •apply the largest
amount of reliable home news is sure
t to meet with a generous support.
