He concludes by giving an order for a certain quantity, to be sent every two weeks or so.

To the Editor of the Huron Eapcisitor. In last week's issue of THE EXPOSITOR there appeared a letter, signed! "Rate- payer," charging me with beink a spece- lator in the market, and. wit* offering unfair competition against those wishing to buy there. In reply I would state that there is nothing in the 4y -law de- fining the duties of Market Clerk, either expressed or understood, by which he is forbidden to be a buyer on th Market, and the person signing himse f 'Rate payer" should be better posteet before he accuses me Of overstepping My duties. I have never purchased any small articles on the Market, SO that what "Rate- payer" says regarcling my "running tip" fowls, &ce, is quite untrue, With re- gard to whatever, additional competition I may occasion, I have always under- stood, and yet believe, that the more competition there is the better, and. the more trade would be drawn to the village.
