A numerously attended and representa- tive meeting of the merchants of the county aesombled in the council chamber, Clinton, to consult as to the best means to protect their interests and those of consumers from the oily -tongued peddlers who gull the uneuspeotiug public. Among those present were Messrs, Strachan, Old, Nairn, Crabb, Pridham and others from Goderioh, and representatives from nearly all the towns and villages in the county. It was resolved to obtain the signatures of farmers and others to a pe- tition to be presented to the county council at its meeting this week asking that body to pit a license fee of 8200 011 all peddlers. This would be acceded to • in the interest of ; farmers as well as that of the merchants.
