Executors' Notice. pun ,txpooit0.: All Official Notices Published FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 18T1, Irregular Mail Service. We regret being Oompelled to complain of the provokingly irregu- lar enliumer in which the elluitoN EXPOsitToit has, for some time past, Leen conveyed to our Southern, sub- scribers. We have delayed for a long time calling ithe - attention of the Post Office Inspector to this grievance, in the hope that each -week would bring about a change. • for the better: _Instead of improv- ing, however, things appear to he growing worse, so that, at length. - in justice to ourselves, ae well to our readers, we -are compelled to • appeal to and demand from • the proper authorities such attention to the matter • as will remedy the grievance co to plained of. Al thou gh the Exitosiaoas are mailed regulaily every Friday morning, via.Stratford 'and Lucan, to Kippea, Rodgerville, Lemley and other Southern offices, • yet they do not reach these °faced until Saturday night, and frequently Monday night, whereas they should be received at these officeeregularly on _Friday nigh. Where the de- • lay occurs, we cannot say, but that there is delay, and unnecessary de- L'ay, is very 'evident. We would net complain, nor would our sub- -ehribers, at an occasionaldelay of a day, but when such delays becOme more the tale than the exteption, it is too much to be quietly submitted to. Last week, the Exeosrroes, al- though mailed by the 11 A. U.. train, as usual, did not reach either of the above-named Post Offices un- til Teesday night. If the obliging Post Office Insitector will but invete tigate the matter, there is no doubt but a remedy con be found. In future, we would feel obliged te any of our subscribers, if they would promptly notify us when •they 'nits a paper. The:- papers are mailed every Friday. regularly, and have been for the -Past year, and should they at any time fail to he so • - inailed, in the future, we shall noti- fy the Postmasterto whose offices tile papers slioulds have been. sett, so • that,- so far as we are concerned, • they may rely upon punctuality. • North Huron---Theanas Gibson, • Esq„ the Reform Candidate. . At the lergely-attended Convert tion of Refortnea4, held at Blyth, on llonchly last, Mr. Thomas Gib- • son, of Wroxeter, was unanimously chosen the • Reform candidate -for • North. Huron. A better or More • orc arable selection could not have been made. Mr. Gibson is a man of. good abilities, sterling honesty, and e unimpeachable integrity. Ho • is a true and uric= prom ising Re former ; but, at the same time, be • is possessed of too high a sense of • honor, and is of toe ihdepeudent • dispositioo to allow himself to be led_ or driven to support any meas - e, at the dictation or bidding of • his platy, hich his conscience might instruct him Was wrong. Mr. Gibson is a_man"of marked natural ahility, and there are few who are better posted on the public affairs. of this and ether countries. Ile is man who, if eeet to • the Legisla- ture, would in a • very short time make his mark, and of whom the electors of North Huron will have Utit reaS0a to feel proud. Mr..Gate eon is a self-made mam—what he is, he owes to hauself—to hie own indoniitable • energy and persever- ance. If ho'has stored his mind uecful knowledge, he has ac- quired that knowledge through hard -stody, atter the toils of business, during hours which others would have devoted to relaxetion. Gibson his ever been an iridefati- gable worker, and as he has been in private life, so it is reasonable to euppose be will be in his public -ca- pacity. If elected to the respon- ;sible and honorable position to which he now very justly zspires, the people of North Huron may foil assured that he will prove an en.ergetie and laborious represea- waive. 1Ir. Gibson is also well versed in municipal affairs, pavirg for a num- ber of years taken. an active pert. in the wolking of till; Municipel insti- tutions of, the Couhts, and poeeessea a better knowledge of the necessities' and requirements of the people of the County of Hunt, than almost' any other man who could be nained.

They will have an opportunity. of taltieg the first grand step in this direction on the 21st of the ',resent month, and we trust they will not allow it to puss unimproved.

Seafortt Disfranchised. - The following paragraph, which we copy from the Cornwall Free holder, the °man of the Hon. John S. _Macdonald°, withregard to the anomalous position of Seaforth will, we have no doubt, take many' by sariprise. 'Unpleasant as the thouelit may be, however, we ere inclined to the belief that our position, as there set down, is the position we will be compelled to occupii at the eoming election. We will have pleasure Of being silent dpecto tors. The follow- ing is the eat ag aph referred to : The flourishing village of Seaforth is somewhat equivocally situated atprescait. There is a bill now before the House of Commons providing foi the annexation of that village to the South Riding of the County of -Huron. • The necessity for this bill has arisen thus: By the British North American Act, the County of Thi- rou is divided into two ridings North and South. Since ads division the village has become incorporated; and being now an independent municipality, attached to no electoral division, it is of course disfranchised. It does not appear probable that the electors of that village will be called upon to take part in the election 110W about to take place for the Ontario Legislature." Upon whom rests the blame: for this state of ,affairs? • We are not prepared to say. It is very evident that some person has been guilty of gross carelessness, and who that per- son is, will come to light in a short time. We ]earn that a .resolution was passed by the Seaforth Council over a year ago, requesting Mr. M. C. Cameron to have a bill passed throueh the Dominion Parliament 0 uniting Seafoith. to the, Seat h Rid- ing. • This Mr. Cameron did not de until the present session : Now, if it is necessary that a similar Bill should be passed by the Legislature ot Ontario, in order to enable the people of this village to yote for a representative to that body, we do not see that Mr. Cameron is fo blame. As the Bill he has _now lie - fore the Dominion Parliament will be law soon enoogh to enable as to vote for a represen tati ve to that body. But if the one Bill. is sufficient, then Mr. Cameron is certairily to blame for not having it settled dur- ing the last session. The fact ispretty evident that work it as we will, we will how bee left out in the cold„ and the authorities should eeesite it that the blame ia saddled lent_ the proper' parties, that they may receive the censure and condemnation to which • they are justly prattled. • There is another fine noint'which will arise out of this difficulty. If Seaforth is disfranchised will the election in the South Riding be le- gal ? We may yet require an act, of Parliament to confirm the electilon • of the successful candidate. tre not very encouraging. He would have done far better in his old con- , 8tituency, Niagara. as the electors of that "borough" are much more sus- ceptible to the influence of surplus grants than are the wealthy and in- dependent farmers of South Oxford. If it was the desire of the Premier to politically kill his Commissioner he has adopted the best possilfh hie -an e by sending him to South Ox ford. mommilimmillimollmomms WE are almost daily enquired of i as to how the canvass is phooressim • broughout the Province.

The Convention a the Reformers held in Blyth on Monday the • fith inst., terminated in1 the nomination of Mr. Thomas Gibson of Wroxter as the Reform candidate for North Huron. , The Convention was largely at- tended by delegates from every townehip in the Riding, and others interested in the choosing of a can- didate to contest the election against. Mr. Hays. Not less than two bun- dred people were present. Mr. Gibson etitt nominated by _ John Leckie, Estee Reeve of Grey, and seconded by Dr. Sloan, Blyth. Messrs. Leckie, Messer, Summer- ville. and Dr. Sloan were also pro posed and seconded, • but declined. standing, all retiring in favor of Mr. Gibson. A Committee wasesamed to wait epon Mr. Gibson, and solicit his presence at the meeting. On bis arrival the chairman arose and aN , dressed the people and begged Mrs Gibson to aceept the honor conferred on him by bemg their imanimous candidate..
