DIED MONDAY MORNING.—Harry Bata

last issue of Tan POST, passed away early
Monday morning. He was a patient,
oheerful sufferer and set many ao older
person an example worthy of following.
As he spent long months a prieoner at
Ms home, everything possible was done
to recruit his failing health, but medioal
attendance and kindly ministrations
proved unavailing and he was relieved of
all earthly pain as mentioned above.
Harry was an unusually bright child and
was a universal favorite with old and
young. He will be greatly missed. The
funeral took plane on Wednesday after-
noon, Rev, John Holmes condoning an

FAaos AsoUT THE COUNTY NEWSPAPERS.
—The Clinton New Era says :—Huron
has 17 newspapers issued within its
border, the majority of them exception-
ally good ones -A third one has been
reeorrected at Wingham, but there is no
more need for it than for a fifth wheel to
a waggon. The two older ones in that
plane have recently made marked im-
provements, and deserve all the support
Wingham merohanis Dan afford to give
to newspapers.—Tbe one containing the
most oarefblly written editorial, using
the beet Englieb, is the Seaforth Expos
iter, and it is probably the most sedate
in its character.—The sharpest, bright-
en, and most pungent editorial skits are
those of the Goderioh Signal, whose
versatile editor commands a vocabulary
euperior to the modern dictionary, The
one 000baining the moat humor is the.
Bruesele Post, the items fairly overflow
with it, and it is more efficacious in re.
li=ving the eiok and despondent than all
the nue' care -alis. The honor of.ieea•
ing the poorest printed paper i3 divided
between two or three small papers, that
need not be named. Everybody knovie
that the New Era is one of the best
printed, anti it is, therefore, nnneoeseary
for ue to mention the fact ; but thie may
be stated, that the two Clinton papers
give more original matter every week
than any other two in the country.—The
Goderioh Signal Seaforth Expositor,
ExeterTimes, BrnseelsPost, and New
Era all use steam power ; the rest are
printed by main strength.—Mr. White,
of the Exeter Times, is the oldest man

Holmes, of the New Era, has bad the

bright little paper, and evidently knows
a goad thing- when it Bees it, for the
editorial which announced the enlarge-
ment of the New Ere, was used for
the enlargement of the Record: -If we
mistake not, the only unmarried men in
the county editorial ranks are Mr. Mitch-
