Huron Heard From—There is a rumor that Mr. John Gorrell, form’ erly’of Clinton, is the cliief adviser of General Middleton.in the North­ west.' It will be very gratifying to 'Mr. Got r,ell's friends here should this prov^ to be correct. It has, however, oeCn .'.stated iq »the *city press that-the Governor General’s ~Military Secretary; Lord-’ Melgund, , a gentleman of ancient Scotch. ,line- age, .being- the ..elU^.t,. son ,qf EarL Minto, .who has seen active and. proformed'meritorious service in the field*in the Afghan Avar and in South Africa-rfhad been appointed second m command of the Northwest forces, ’ 4and consequently chief- adviser of General -Middleton, and that he is now out there.

We:may rest assured that if the ser-’ vices of the Messrs Oantelon were required that ■ they 'would be given- to anrltrlTpistin^tl ard of law, ordtyr -and British-Cana­ dian supremacy.

No, no, Mr. Era, when you say ^thivt^ie ‘‘Oantelon Bros, of the N. W. T. are employed as Scouts iri- the, Northwest invasion" you state what is. not a fact, they have not been employed as “scouts in the invasion,” nor have they been : employed as - bcouts-affains^- the-invdsioir, though* - ■as We have said they can be relied ‘to aid iii repelling jnvasipn and re beltipn, not" to’give aid and comfort, as the disloyal portion'of the Grit press are doing, to the enemies of our country and the. .munl.eref-s of our fellow Canadians in the far west. . “Quid” Pro Quo.—Oi, ,he morn ing of April the one last past one of our , enterprising citizbn grocers thought to have a bjt of harmless “divarsioti” as. a sort of an’ offset to the hackney’d war business which he had heard so much of lately. Noticing a lusty young’man march* ing towards his store, he hastily en­ closed.a slip of paper, alleged to be an order on FaiPs mill for a Mm- dred of flour, inzan envelope and ad dressed'it” ....... the clerk was ordered to give the .coming, mftti with a request to bring the flour and oblige the proprietor. The'intended victim had noubjees tioh, and taking A quid of tobacco , out -of his' mouth he threw jb out in- ; to the street, saying that the, least thl,ng the clerk could do Wofttd be to , give 'him enough ‘baccy’*,to re­ place the quid he had just dispensed with. ‘Oh, 1 See,” said the clerk, “you want a quid pro quo.” 4. “Well if that’s xvhat yon call a 25,,cent plug of T and JB, that’s exactly what I do want,” was ttye^reply. Armed with the order and, the tobacco the tn*, teh'fted victim went on his way, but ho Had barely’ got outside the door when he' put the tip of Iris loft thumb to tho end of his hfissl organ and extending his fingers Jan fash- ijon, at the same time brandishing the plug of tobacco in his left hand* ho exclaimed, “April FaaI.” AnA.

St. Baud’s Church.—On Easteiftthe services were bright and inspiriting, in i full sympathy with the joy and hope given to the world by the Res­ urrection of Jesus Christ. Why can our town not afford a band stand forjthe bands? Now that summer is coming such structure would the bands and citizens. Mr. John. O, contractor etc., of the Bayfield line, returned last week from a trip to Montreal and intermediate’ point's. He concludes that an immense amount of wealth has been concen­ trated in Montreal and a corres- j ponding’ amount of poverty. So far as the fanning community is concerned that df Ontario still holds firBt"pTace in bis estimation. Noj MyJDe'ar Fellow.-—A Grit citizen remarked to the writer that “the Orangemen seemed to hold that they monopolized al! the loyalty." Our good friend is mfstaken,but they do hold than no man can be an Orangemen who is not loyal to altar, throne and country-:—and there, are many Reformers among them. Their solemfi obligation binds them to this, consequently they are loyal, but in saying this thgrn;TH no’ iriten-- tiotf tty convey tthe idea that Orange­ men only are loyal, ■ “ Can’t ‘Understand Loyalty,— Our town cotem waxes inexplicably funny over the-; fact thatJcitizen Pat Gahan interviewed Captain Forrest­ er for. the purpose of eliciting in­ formation as to when the volunteers were likely to be called on, arid of declaring ffiis readiness to fight for Queen and country. - Rebel - sym­ pathisers seeiu incapable of under-( .standing how any one can offer to /fight for the Queen, more particular­ ly if he be an Irishman, That there are disloyal Irishmen there can - be no,doub't, tfiat there are Englishmen Who are equally disfoya.1 one 'would not have to go far to 'show. •- But such facts do not prove that all Irish­ men brafr/Englifthmeti are, disloyal. That you cannot find a disloyaf 'Ca*- nadian outside of the ranks of the Grit section of. the reform party may be,true, but that would not warrant the assertion that every Reformer or even any appreciable number.of Reformers are disloyal. The great mass of the Refo'rtnere of Canada are just as loyal as Tory or Conservative. ISw AlEowed/A'- feAW-Lod;—; A; gefft-“ Jeman’ in town has a cockney em­ ploye.
