Ari ardent admirer of King Wm III, and consequently a loyal subject qf the British Crown noticed some­ thing behind the counter of the ex­ press office which, to hfs excitable brain, appeared to be an infernal machine. It was with the utmost difficulty he could be persuaded to believe it was. a patent- shower bath. Some;29 years ago Robt. Graham of this village wrote and published in the* Empire, a paper then pub­ lished in Goderich, a short P°.em named, “Things that Never Die.” I presume more on account of the writer than the real worth of the piece, it was laughed at as-doggeral.
