SEAFORTH, FRIDAY,
AY 27, 1881.
A Trifling Mater.
It seems that a distinguished journal-
- id, Mr. Gordon Brown, a • d a some-
what distinguished journalist, Mr.
Goldwin Smith, are about, each on his
own separate and distinct account, to
take a summer trip to . Europe. Why
they should not be permitted to do so in
peace and quietness, does not appear
from the lucubratious with which the
friends of each seem to pit one against
the other, and to desire to mark with
notoriety the brace of b tea means
significant events. Some p rson, doubt-
less some journalist, so called front
having a press and types at his service,
made some time ago a suggestion, to
which we are sure Mr. Smith could not
have been a consenting party, which
was that the distinguished, scholar and
gentleman should be publicly entertain-
ed at a dinner before his departure. It
was thereupon remarked by some one
else,apparently in accord with the
originator of the suggesti4i, that. Mr.
Smith was to be entertaind, and that
the Press Association, whoever they
.are, were taking the matter in hand.
This, although by no mean a question
of high public importance,' was yet one
of those matters that, being thought of
sufficient note to be placed before the
public, might fairly be dismissed by the
organs of public opinion. 'And. if news-
papers were free to discuss the question
of giving a dinner to Mr. Goldwin
Smith, they were certainly free to ap-
prove or disapprove of the proposal.
p -sal.
But some journals, whether from
political animosity or local jealousy, or
. whatever other and meaner motives
May be suspected, evidently think that
whatever other papers'might do or say
about it, the Globe at any rate, should
say nothing against it. The Globe has,
to our mind,treated the proposal not
unfairly ; has taken strong ground
against it, and has shown good cause
why such a design should not be carried
out. The answer to this by the other
Side is that Brown hates Smith, that he
is jealous of him, that he ib envious
because a dinner has not been proposed
to himself, and thathe presumes to
dictate through his paper what the
proprietors and editors, and paste -pot
and scissors of other jou=rnals may or
shall do in the premises. For our part
we do not see that it is necessary to im-
pute
motives to Mr. Brown, especially
since by that means Mr. Brown's argu-
ment against 4 the dinner to Mr.
Smith is in no sense answered. It is
perhaps as well known as it needs to be
that there is no cordiality of feeling
_ betweenIr. Brown and, Mr. Smith.
Each has published hard language
against the other there is neither
Venom nor vindictiveness on one side
that cannot be counterbalanced on the
other ; and it would be quite the part
of fair -play to let their difficulties, in so
far as they may be personal in character,
be settled by allodving each antagonist
to take satisfaction out : of the other.
But there is a public . side,' to this • not
very important question,` although some
people may lose sight of it in their
earnestness to heap enlogiums upon Mr.
Smith, and to hurl abuse at Mr.
Brown. The Press Association may
perhaps be in a position to give a dinner
to whomsoever it pleases, since it may
be of so little importance that nobody
either cares or needs to care what it
does. But if it has a,position, such as
that which its name implies, we do not
see how it can entertain Mr. Goldwin
Smith. We have nothing but respect
for that gentleman's erudition and his
good name. We would never fail to
honor the former, and we would be so
careful of the latter that we would not
follow, even with cause, the example
which its possessorset in treating Mr.
Blake recently, and charge him with.
holding opinions in direct contradiction
to his public declarations. Yet we are
perfectly free to remonstrate that no
public or no quasi public body in this
country, can, consistently with its duty
in a public sense, offer such public
..
honors as may be et its disposal, to Mr
Goldwin Smith. Mr. Smith has never
been a journalist in this country; his
work has been as different from that of
practical journalism, as that of any
other properly so-called literary writers.
Even if he were a journalist, what
would that signify separated from his
work ? And we presume no body of
loyal men could honor Mr. Goldwin
Smith on account of his labors in this
country. What has Mr. Smith done
since his advent amongst us. ? He has
presented to us an almost uninterrupted
flow of surpassingly elegant English
composition ; but his models -cf correct

we required to provide against by recog-
nizing the use of the steamer by the
Company. He was fo lowed by a mem-
ber from Hibbert, whO -.declared posi-
tively that he was sure if the Company
insured steam threshers, the half would
leave as soon as their policies expired,
thereby breaking up the institution.,
Several parties then stated that they
were sure . if the Company did not in-
sure the threshers, hatf of the members
would leave at the end of their term.
Mr. Porter then called attention to the
fact that if the foregoing statements were,
trne, we were on the hiorns of a dilem-
ma. A member who said he took an
aetive part in the organiaation of the
society, then stated that he would like
to remind. the meeting of a few facts
they were in danger of Overlooking, amid
the conflicting ideas Which had been
presented. He said although the losses
had been considered heavy in the Com-
pany, he had paid one-third more on
the same ratio in the Perth Mutual,
asking other members to say if such was
not a fact. There was no denial. He
then called their attention to the way
members had joined, and backed up
those who organized the society, and
said he was sure that notwithstanding
what had been said to the contrary,
they would never turn' their backs on
those who helped theiT to build an in-
stitution which, in spi e of. the many
misfortunes we had, had been sustained
at two-thirds of what we had formerly
paid. With regard to the bone of con-
tention, so far as he was personally con-
cerned, he did not intend to use the
steamer, having a horse -power for his
own use, but in view of the fact that
they were now generally used, the Com-
pany could just as well take this risk
as they did the otherff, as their object
was to do by members lwhat individuals
could not do, and coneluded by saying -
that reasonable rule& laid down for
safety, and strictly enforced, would ren-
der the steamers cm:Operatively safe.
Motions and counter Motions were then
put. The chairman becoming muddled
up and excited, endeavoredato make
very strong remarks,. which elicited
strong counters from Several others,
who were informed. by t e chairnaan that
he was running the meeting. The meet-
ing was then dividedi when there ap-
peared to be about two to one in favor
of insuring, but a cry of misunderstand-
ing caused a long delay, during which
numbers left to go out.1 The count was
finally made, and the majority in favor
of insuring declared tb be sia, which
was afterwards made Unanimous. Rules
for guidance were aisd passed, and the
meeting dispersed.

Fismee.—There have been more fish
caught from the river and harbor here,
this spring, than was ever known I be- ,
fore in the memory of the oldest in-
habitant. For some weeks after the
fishing season came in, they could be
pulled out almost as fast as the line
could be thrown in, and scarcely a day
passed round. but fisherrrien would be
here from Seaforth, Clinton, and other
neighboring towns, and mostly all went
away with bags full. The fish mostly
caught were bees and perch. On one or
two occasions sh weighing from two to
four pounds were pulled out. The sea-
son for this sort of thieg is now pretty
well over, hoviever, ae the fish have
mostly gone out into the lake, and. even
the most ardent fisherman who can
now consider ithe job "sport," Must

A Ban ACCIDENT. "I— One day last
week Mr. Pa.ul Cleaye, Comical , of
this village, met with very dange ous
and painful aceident. He was dri ing-
down the hill to Thompson's mill with
a span of horses and riding upon a
wagon without any boir, but just sitting
on a spring board resting on the front
and rear bolsters of , the wagon, as is
very common. I When about half way
down the hill, which is very steep and
rendered doubly dangerous by being
lined on eitheraide with saw logs, one
of his lines bro e, and. the horses start-
ed off at a break -neck pace. Mr.
Cleave was thrown forward on to the
front part of the wagon and got his feet
fastened in the "hounds" and with his
head and boq hanging down back-
wards, he was dragged in this way over
the rough ground for a considerable
distance. Fo tuna,tellY for him, the
tongue of the agon got . broken, thus
relieving the h rses frchen it. They ran
to the mill, w ere they were stopped by
the miller, wh at once went in search
of Mr. Cleave. He fo ttd him lying by.
the roadside in a pool of mud, where he
had been thro n, and utconscious. He
was at once co veyed to the house and
were found to e serious but not dan-
gerous. There was a long, deep wound
on the calf of his leg and several had
cuts on his held, and he was otherwise
bruised and in ured. ,We are glad to
learn that alth ngh hel is tot yet out of
danger, there e good hdpes of his ul-
