Many of those who have already heard them willbe glad of the opportunity to hear them once more, and those who have not already had that pleasure should not lose the opportunity which now presents itself.' • LOCAL BR/MTS.-Mr. John H.

Nr A CANDI1ATE1.-We are requested by Mr. jamea Beattie to state that - although he has been strongly urged by Ms friends to becomee a candidate for the Mayoralty at the forthcoming eleo• tion -he has nointention of doing so, as his own private business precludes his giving to that office the necessary attention.; but, if the electors see fit to elect him to his present _position of Deputy Reeve, he will be willing to ao- eept it. MT. Beattie has long been a lecithin'. public servant, and a better AMU for his present position could. not be gat, and there is no doubt but he will be re-elected, we hope, by acclamation. There is one thing about Mr. Beattie which should speak loudly in his favor : whatever public duties he undertakes, be attends to them promptly ; and he is never afraid to expresa his opinion upon 'any question or to take such a course in public matters as he deems right.
