a note of the filet that he intends open-
ing out in time to secure a portion of
the Fall trade.
The snbject of manufactures has
been so thoroughly discussed through
these columns that•it would almost
seem useless to again refer to it, only,
that since our issue of the 5th inst.,
'while in conversation, with one of our
business men, we learned that it was
altogether likely the Q0111161 would ere
long, inayhap at its next meeting, le
asked to submit a by-law to the people
asking for a bonus. •
The idea of granting a bonus does
not take into consideration the grant-
ing' of snob to establishments of mum -
moth size. unless they supply work for
a given number of hands. It is not
the possession of a. stately building,
with all the improvements of modern
art embellishing it, that gives to a
place, prosperity, wealth and greatness.
It is the number of hands employed in
such an establishment which as-Sists itt
building up towns and cities. It is not
then to the factory nor to the man who
builds it, that bonuses are graeted, but
to tbe laborers—the men who do the
work and earn their livelihood by the
sweat of their brow .It is not
Cle manufacturer who directly
benefits the place. He does soindirect-
ly.- It is the man he hires who helps
to build up the place, and the greater
number of such we can secure so much
the richer has our town become. .For
comparison and proof of the asser-
tion that it is the working men builds
hp the. place, we have only for a min-
ute to look at the prond and stately
town, with its magnificent ' private
dwellings whose owners are the only
living souls to be seen on the ,streets.
Then, a glance at the town of industry
with its thousand and one homely and
dove -like cottages, tokening thrift and
industry, the owners of whishanpy be
seen at the early Lours making their
way to the shots or warehouse, return-
ing in the eveniug With pride in dis-
playing their honest and toil -worn
hands. Ask the merchants in the for-
mer town as to the financial sticcess
of the places and the reply is 'alwaye the
same, "dull, dull." What a contrast is
the reply of the merchant of the latter
place, "can't complaiingood ; very good,
etc." As a general rule, bonuses are
not granted unless those obtaining them
guarantee to employ year in and year
out r less than a stated number of
hands, the choosing of which is not
left in his hands. In our case, we
should say that a bonus should. not be
given unless under other than very or-
dinary cit.° imstances to an ind istry
unless they employed at least sixty
skilled hands for every $5,000 invested
without a fractional figure less than
that -amount. Say that sixty skilled
laborers were etnployed, all or nearly all
of their 'wages would be disbursed
amongst our business men. Thus, by
granting $10,000 we get a weekly ad-
dition of at least $500 per week ; or,
$26,000 a year. Can ' a bonus be
granted. without increasing, our taxes.?
No, but such a bonus can be granted
without us feeling this increase of
taxes. In fact, each ratepayer should
feel it a noble privilege to be able in fu-
ture years to say he was, one of these
whe helped to raise the town to its pre-
sent high standing amongst the towns
of the West; that he bole part ,of the

FROM .EXETER TO THUNDER , DAY
To the Editor of the Vamter NES.,
DEAR 5111,—Mesers, John and Naie.
Hawkshaw with myself, started frem
our own snug little town, EX.eter, on
Tuesday, the 3rd August, intending to
see nature in her grandeur. Our in-
clination led us up old Huron, to, reach
which we had to secure boat at . Godes-
ich. The drive between here and
Clinton was accomplished without any-
thing Earticular to note. The train
being on time at Clinton we sbon left
it far in the distance, and the whistle
blowed, the braskesman helloed, and
the bus -drivers yelled. We 'mew ,we
were now at Goderich. I think no one
in existence can yell like those Godes-
ich drivers ; they vie to a great extent
with the whistle of the Manitoba,which
while I am writing,' imagineI ean hear
sending forth its loud and prolonged
noise from its brazen mouth. Wednes-
day inorning at 10 a. m. the cry "all
aboard," told us we had to make consi-
derable haste if we intended to take pas-
sage on the Manitobs, which was now
ready to start. As such was our -in-
tention we soon ensconced In comfor-
table quarters on board. The day was
pleasant;old sol, seemed to have temper-
ed his passion for sending, out heat just
to suit our taste- The passage from
Goderich to Kincardine was made in
about two hours. Along the shore
between these two places, the scenery
is magnificent, clusters of small pines
growing frotn the _shore to the top of
the hill, and seemingly burying Ltheir
heads in the horizon which from the
deck of the steamer seems to have form-
ed itself. We only caught a glimpse of
the much talked of Point Farm. ,Point
Clark lighthouse, one of tite finest and
largest on the lakes, told us we were
but ten miles from Kincardine: We
entered Kincardine harbor, viewed its
viewers, took a birds eye glimpse of the
town, and went away with a good im-
pression of it and its inhabitants.
Seemingly more monotonous was the
scenery from Kincardine to Southamp-
ton. This harbor has latelyabeen made
a harbor of -refuge by the Government.
From this we sailed joyfully along until
we reached Bruce Mines, about sixty
miles from Southampton,and in it most
desolate part of the country. At this
place that which is most worthy of note
are the mines. tMr. Wm. Hawk-
shaw and myself, Mr. John Hawkshaw
haying got off the boat at Kincardine,
descended one of them to the depth of
200 feet, not caring to go the other 120
feet or more farther down. 'We secured
some of the ore, and after an hour's so-
journ,waited anxiously for theCaptain's
now well-known cry "all-aboatd."—
Saturday maim brought us to the Is-
let, when our inquisitorial genius held
sway,and ordered us offon a tour of in-
vestigation through the Silver mines.
I must confess, filiat although having
traversed the greater portion of Onta-
rio,I never met with so striking:an illus-
tration of the phrase, "one half the
world knows not what the other is do-
ing" as I did on the hurried visit I
-paid to the stamping works at the Sil-
ver mines. 'With clock -work system,the
huge unwrought and cruderocks,stones
and dirt are committed to the process
through which the stamping machine
take them, and are in a few minutes
sent forth -a refined metal, I was aboat
to say, devoid of all this superfluous
combination. We gazed on this in
wonder, and were forcibly led to the
opinion that the longer we live the more
WO can learn. Leaving this WO passed
on up Lake Sitperior, where we met
with slight fogs, the only drawback to
the pleasure of sorrie few before this
being that they held an undisputed ti-
tle to do, the utmost obeisance to Nep-
tune, and hand over to that deity what,
over little nourishment they may have
been fdoliali enough to invest in. I had

A TROT AGAINST Tims.--On Tuesday
evening, for the purpose of deciding a
bet that " Black Raid " couldn't trot
a mile in three minutes and ten sec-
onds, the Exeter track was resorted to,

villain who perpetrated the horrible
outrage on a valuable mare belonging

ENDED IN 'SMORE.—It now appears
that the supposed incendiary in Messrs.
Broderick and Browning's new block,
reported in the TIMES of last week, was
but a fizzle. One of the carpenters
had built a small fire of chips in order
to dry a piece of sand -paper 01) the
Monday previous. Ibis had burned its

by Mr.. Spicer, who placed it there.. He

- LIGHTNING. -011 Friday last the ele-
ments seemed to have entirely. lost
control of themselves, and vied. with
any former occasion in their efforts to
throw the nervous into fits of conster-
nation and alarm. The electric fluid
played in the most fantastic shapes,
distorting itself so as to shoot a keyhole
and do a chimney at one flash. On
the farm of Mr. Swinerton a large ma-
ple tree was struck, and burned' to its
roots. The fire ccmmunicated itself to
an adjoining beech, but was but out be-
fore any material damage was done.—
It also tried its powers on a maple near
Dr. Browning's residence", running
down it and splitting a post close by.
MARRIED V. SINGLE.—On Wednesday
of last week the Benedicks and bachel-
ors of this place amused themselves
with a game at cricket. You may now
see the martyrs to 'single blessedness
treading as much of this mundane
sphere as Call be found in and around
Exeter; with bowed head but not an
winless mien, for ten of the eleven have
vowed not to rest until each finds a
partner for his joys and sorrows, so
that he may play cricket with success
The eleventh has given up all hopes of
ever being a successful cricketer, -for
he has now bent his knee to all the la-
dies in town whe lie thought would
have the slightest compassion for him ;
but his case, he says, is a hopeless one.
Emmen ROUGHLY USED.—A few even-
ings since, as Crowley & ilanagan s
late stage was waiting at Centralia for
the Crediton mail, two young men were
testing thrsrunnilig powers of the re-
spective beasts which they bestrode.
On coining near the stege, one of the
equines, probably fancying he would be
bettet employed if in the place of one
of the stage herses, made a bee line for
the position, but barely missed bis mark,
going past the stage, but la the bolting
