A pubHa meeting recently, held in St,
which to substantiate the charges,
is egnally well known. The Inspect-
or's statements to different towns-
men prove this. If anybody had griev-
anoes they had a perfect right to have
them rectified or investigated, but why
not let this matter drop when these
charges were looked into by a Govern-
ment official, who evidently nnderstande

master must be dismissed and with a
fiendish persistence the editor of the
Budget has distorted facts, thrown doubt
on the testimony of reliable men and•
made himself generally obnoxious to
right-minded and right-thinking people.
He took the trouble to go to Ottawa (at
somentherperson'e expense, he says,) and
secured a copy of the testimonial signed
by over ninety patrons of the office, over
fifty of them the leading men in Brus-
sels, and takes the tronble to publish it
last week. He says there are three Con-
servativesinthe list, but, as the "official"
organ, he cannot be very, well posted on
the members of the Conservative party,
aa we can name fifteen out of the fifty.
Whose business was it if 150 signed this
testimonial? It was not in the form of
a petition asking any favor to be granted,
nor in any sense partizan, but an
expression of public feeling on the
part of Brusselites as to their confidence
in the management of the postomoe. If
some of the pa, ties who siened this docu-
ment had applied a little sole leather to
this officious meddler's anatomy when he

they ottac,ed their names it would not

signatn•e appeared on the testimonial
need not be ashamed of the company

the ministers and others who bad the
audacity to sign this paper without alt.

patent right on public sentiment ? Mr.
Grant needs no recommendation from ue,
as he is known to the residents of this
locality, not for six or eight months, but
for over twenty years.

W. Nightingale is so interested in the
matter ? How it was that he was such
a willing witness, 'addressed the papers,'

little light on the case that the public

the hent is carried on in couples. Mr,
Nightingale has 235 reasons, worth a
dollar each, bearing interest at 7 per
cent. We explain. On the 10th day of

A man named A. Williams was before
the P. M. at Stratford, charged with ut-
tering counterfeit coin. He had managed
to pass off a very poorly -executed twenty-
five cent piece. which was detected soon
after he left. After pasting it, he went
to a barber's shop and had his moustache
shaved off, a circumstance which did not
im;sove hie position. He alafins to be-
long to Troy, N. Y. He was remanded
for a few days.
At a sale in Downie, the other day, the
gentleman who was wielding the hammer
had asummooeputin his hand, requiring
his presence before. Squire Leverage, on
Saturday, to answer to a charge of au -
Boeing withont a license. That ante
day he went t, Stratford and was advised
to have a friend lay an information
against him before a J. P. in that city,
when he might get off with a smaller fine
than he would in "an enemy's conutry."
A willing friend was found, and the
pseudo -auctioneer esus Lrought Lame r.

quest to waive action.
The Stratford Herald says :—A pretty
young miss of the city, whose name shall
be u n m, ntionable, entered ono of the
grocery stores the other day, made some
purobases and received the bill for the
goods, She continued her purchasing tour,
but this time luxuries were not the arti-
cles wanted. She completed her shopping
and returned to where she made her first
purchases, offeriug to settle for the goods
she had purchased in the morning, in the
meantime presenting, as shetbsught,the
bill of the goods. Themodestgrocerblush-
ed a crimson, and amid mach nervous ex

him. She very indignantly told him he
was mistaken and reprimanded him for
his incredulous manner of speaking to
her. To dispute the point was a question
too delicate for him, and he handed her
beck thebill with a requestfor her toread
it. Her meidenlymodesty was sootlprueh-

a pair of corsets.
