the town seems to- have taken a turn for
the better. On Saturday last, the streets
presented a lively appearance, and mer-
chants generally, carried a look character-
istic of a busy season. We trust the tide
will widen, and that the stone town will
C-again assume its natural state, of being
the business centre of the west. We are
sorry to state, than, notwithstanding the
increased price for grain, there is little
being marketed. .

Farquhar.
A correspondent writing to an exchange,
says :-Some one who was ashamed -.to put
his name to his letter has been writing to
the Exeter Tires, in commotion with the
Farquhar post -office, and so well be alight
feel ashamed, for the statements are at
variance with the facts. Tho denial that
one of the conditions of the store purchase
was that the post -office would not be re-
moved, is in keeping with Mr. Gardiner's
veracity throughout. He was only deputy
post enasterat the time, itis trueeelmt 11e
entered into the agreement allthe same, a
fact which was understood by nearly every
person in the neighborhood. The anony-
mous correspondent states that "up to the
present time Mr. Gardiner has never said
that he intended removing the post -office
from .its present location." We know this
to be untrue,, for Mr. Gardner endeavour-
ed to secure our assistance in getting the
sanction of the Postmaster -General to the
charge, nut we refused to he in any way a
party to so gross an injustice to Mr. Hay.
All parties may rest easy that there will be
no change, and Mr. Gardiner himself had
better keep quiet, for the Government will
never consent to his pealing the office from
one to another to secure tenants for build-
ings which he may erect, and lie may loose
the -position altogether if he persists in his
present course. We know whereof we
speak, and roust give him a word of warn-
ing
Crediton.
Quite a political breeze was created hire
the other day by a delegation of Reformers,
composed of 8. Hogarth, Geo. Moir and
Dr. Browning, appearing in our village to
feel the political pulse. The object of the
delegation was to secure the votes of the
Stephen delegates to the Reform convention
for Dr. Browning, as candidate for the
lparty. This is something entirely new,
and at first caused a flatter. But`"under
Ime svi a pliers Bicho
the influence of so i p p
appears to have lost his grip on the party
here, and they think a new man must be
put.in the field, and apparently the party
pushers have taken up the Exeter M. 1):
A number talk as if they would now. prefer
him to Bishop. How Bishop and he and
Wilson, McLean, and Graham Cameron
will settle this matter remains to he seen,
but just now, the Exeter dispenser of pills,
appears to be getting the inside track. I
suppose the Reformers, think they have a
sure thing in South Huron; hence the eager-
ness for the nomination. They nnist settle
the preference amongst themselves.

Large flocks of wild geese have been pass-

e,If the old saying is correct that numerous

anything but pleasant to contemplate.
This has been a flue seasonfor farmers to
make things snug for winter before it conies.

The Journai of St. Marys says that a well-
known firm, of that towu, paid 75 cents per
bush,, for wheat on the 27th ult., and claims
the market one of the befit in the neighbor-
hood. Disgusted with the fact that the neigh-
leeing farmers were marketing their grain in

gave these quotations to theprese. The fanner
who received 75 etc. per bushel must have
felt happy, especially if he bad a large load.
Apparently the bait was not sufficiently
strong to induce many of thefarmers to fol-
low, as the usual number from Blsnsltaud still.

ing eveuts in more pleasant colors and the
peru-al of his paper is a pleasure to the peo-
ple. Paste tuis piece of proverbial philosophy
in some plane where all person-, can per
ceive it.
