r a night ht last

S s

"Scott
Act," has
whish, thanks to the 'So
not linen seen in our quiet village for
.many months past. A farinua from the
north of the village, rospeatably connect•
ed, and who himself might jte respected
were it not for his indulgence in strong
drink, had got too much "anti-Sootb"
aboard before leaving Wingham. He
drove from there to this glace in the
most reckless tnanner, endangering his
wife's lifo as well as ilia man by upsetting
near the cheese factory, On arriving
hero ho made the place hideous with his
profanity, ran his horse on the platform
of the post office and tho cutter against
one of the verandah posts, completely
wrecking it. Ile was thrown out and 11
was almost a miracle ho escaped striking
the post himself, Had he done so wo
should likely have had to record another
tragedy caused by drink, The poor oroa-
• bare, in hie demented state, threatened
all the Bluevale correspondents with
death if they should send an account of
his doings to the "papers." We hereby
give him fair warning that should he
again disgrace himself and our fair and
peaceable village by such conduct wo
shall give his name to the public. Public
opinion in this part will no longer endure
such conduct, and it is high time that the
Inspdbtor paid another visit to Wingham
and let the law breakers there feel that
they cannot outrage at once public sono•
mont and decency as well as law with
impunity.

The Clinton New Era says :—A gen•
demon in town called ab our office, and
said that he had a record which could
equal the person of whom mention was
made last week, as having never been
outside of Ontario. This second person
emigrated here from Ireland nearly 46
years ago, and has never since that tame
been out of the county. Goderich and
Clinton are the largest places he bas ever
been in during his residence here, and ho
has never yet been on an excursion train.
As he is now about 70 years of age, and
has the means wherewith to be happy, it
is pretty near time ho started out to en-
joy himself and see the world, if he ever
intends to do so.
The Clinton New Era has a readable
sketch of Huron forty years ago. The

about $401,670, whereas now it is about
$34,000,000. Then there were but four
grist mills with two rim of stones ; nine-
teen one story briok houses and twenty
two story houses brick or frame outside
of Goderioh town. Tho taxes then paid
t lore but $4,800. The Era adds : Some
of the valuatons seem a little strange ;
thus a log house of ono story, with the
logs flattened on two sides, was valved
at $80 ; with an additional fire place, $10
extra ; the same kind of log house, two
storeys, $120, but the additional fire
place in this instance was $32 ; the same
disparity was mado in frame, brick and
stone houses ; one storey frame, $140 ;
additional fire place, $20 ; two storey
