EDWARD CASH GODERICH STREET, SEAFORTH. wort expoOtor. DISTRICT IVIATTRS., OUR POST OFFICE.—The business transacted in the Money Order and Saevings Ba,nk departments of the Sea - forth post office from the 1st to the 8th of April amounted to $12,579.11. This is pretty good for one week's business. We also notice by the Postmaster Gen-. era.l's repert that for the fiscal year end- ing June, 1885, the money orders issued from the three principal offices in this county were as follows : Goderich, 1,441 orders, ammmting to $26,113 ; Seaforth, 1,4(H orders, amounting to $27,767, and Clinton, 675 orders, amounting to $12,640. A better indi- cation of the business of a town could not be given than that afforded by the post office orders issued, and it will be seen that in this respect, as in all others, Seaforth stands at the head in this county. We havepleasure in directing the special attention of our esteemed but somewhat airy contemporary, the Clinton New Era, to this fact, and ask him to explain how it is that his am- bitious and boastful dachan " is double discounted by both Seaforth and Goderieh. We pause for a reply THE- LATE ALFRED SWUM. —In another - place will be found the an- nouncement of the death of Alfred Stephens, which took place on Monday, the 5th inst., in Pueblo county, Col- orado. Mr. Stephens came to the neigh- boring town of Mitchell, with his father's family, from England, at a very early age, where he grew to manhood. He learned the business of a druggist, aPd for many years carried on a drug store in Mitchell. About ten years ago his health begin to fail, and he gave up his business in order to recuperate and to obtain rest. Afterwards he *as em- ployed as druggist in Hickson's and Roberts' drug stores in Seaforth, in which capacity he will be rex-limbered by Many of our townspeople. Not re- gaining his health to- any extent, he went in 1879 to Colorado: There he was cemparatively well for several years, but for a number of Months paSt he steadily dedined, until the end came. Mr. Stephens was a pleaSant and courteous gentleman, and those who were intimate with him. will not soon forget his genial humor and his kindly and friendly manner. He leaves a wife, the daughter of the late Rev. Mr..Find- lay, and three sons to mourn his loss. -•- THAT TEA I) ELDLING.—MR. EDITOR, --In your issue 'of last week I notiaed an article signed by John Thorp of Tuckersmith which interested me stating or calling it a new dodge for selling tea. I beg to say that his statement is false as we have been doing buisness in this way for over Twenty years and is now selling tea in ahnost every part of the Province oa the same terms. He also said I claimed I had made sales where I had not and was misleading the publie this again I claim is another falshood of the blankett type and. ment for to hurt my buisnes. I called at Mr. Thorps tee day and took -the can of tea away as I agreed, to do Mrs Hall his housekeeper who is an intelligent laidy said she gave the tea a fair trial and that she and her husband liked it very well. I then tools' the tea and had it tested before several compident judges who said it was a very fine article. I have been in this buisness for a. long time and I consider this man Thorp to be as mean and. the most unmanly caracter I have came across from what here about him I think he would be a better judge of a hog than tea as he has done me much harm in my busines. I am doing an honorable business and have licence for earring on the same and observe the laws of our country. Please give thoeS few lines space in your most valua,ble paper and you will greatly oblige yours very trudy, THOMAs LANGAN, Agent for Edward Daly & Co.

Mr. Elcoat has been un us India -successful as a ltreeder of short- horns, and already enjoys a reputation such as it has taken many a long series of years to build up, and this new and important addition to his herd will have a most beneficial result, TIE!. Smiurr„,— Many of our readers will leann with feelines of the deepest regret of the death of Mr. Benjamin Sminie„ which took place on Friday last at his resi- dence on the London Road, Tucker - smith. Mr. Smillie had not been in the enjoyment of good health for over a year. He was first attacked by inflame, =dory rheumatism, which was suc- ceeded by a complica.tion of diseases which seemed to baffle the best medical skill. He had been confined to his bed for, about two months before his. death., He was just 47 years of age, and prior to his illness was a strong, robust -look- ing man, who, to all appearances and in the course of human events, might live to a ripe old age. But it is not alone the aged and feeble who have frequently to pass throngh this great ordeal ; the yo'ung, the robust and the hopeful are as often stricken down in the very_ pride of their strength, and none know when their day may come or who will be the next victim. Mr. SMillie was a native of Lower Canada, but, with his father anti other members of the family, came to the county of atiron about thirty years ago. Mr. Sr., settled on the farm which the deceased owned and occupied at the time of his death. Mr. Smillie was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, was thoroughly upright in all his ways and was in every respect an exemplary man. He was a kind and obliging neighhorea warm, true friend and was held 'in the highest esteem by all who s - enjoyed his acquaintance. He was an elder of, the Rodgerville Presbyterian church and was a staunch Liberal in politics. His wife is a sister of Dr. BuCha.nan, of Zurich, and Mr. Win. Budhanan, of Tuckersmith. He leaves a widow and seven children, the oldest of whom is about 14 years of age. The remains were interred in the Rodgerville cemetery on Monday, and the high esteem in which the deceased was held was abundantly -manifested by the very large number who followed the remain's to their last resting place.

Canada." The letter, which needs no coMment, explains itself and reads as followa : . I 9. RoasErr ST., Liverpool, England, April 1St, 1886. - MAC.,,yOU -poor fool, I suppose you thought you didi a wonderful thing in printing the fol- lowing :1 Were is pasted a clipping from THE EXpOSITOR, being the paragraph anent the last lecture delivered here by Mr. John R. Clarke, in which the following sentence occurs : "He pos. sesses all the versatility and magnetism of the once celebrated ex -Monk Widdows, while he lacks his buffoonery and ccarsenes," dm) Now, I have no doubt but that all -you said about the " Boot Black" is the truth. Brit, why call me a buffoon, &o.? I beg to say I am as popular as ever—halls and churches packed. When you say I am a " buffoon " and my lectures are " coarse," I say you are a, LIAR. I hope to be in Seaforth before the year is ended, and I'll brand you as public liar and coward in _waiting till March 12th, 1886 ; and when I am over 3,000 miles away from you or you would not dare to print such a lie. I am quite well and doing well, and I remain the " celebrated " Ex-Mosic .WIDDOWS. A LITERARY RELIC. —We have receisr- ed from ".our esteemed townsman, Mr. Thomas Kidd,- a genuine curiosity in the shape of a newspaper one hundred and nine years dd. It is entitled " The Publie Register, or Freetnan's Jour- nali" and was printed in Septernber 1777, by Samuel Leathley, at his print- ; ing office,. near Cook street, Dublin. It is the 'seventh number of the fifteenth' volume. The , price is given at three , half -pence, and the ominous govern- , ment balfTenny stamp is printed on one and well -Wishes of hosts corner of the sheet. It contains four had assembled. to see th pages of four columns each, and each Exaosinott extends them i page is 11. by 18 inehes, aud it seems to tions, and : wishes. them be a send -weekly. It is printed -on • measure of happiness and able and vigorously worded letter ap- pears -Over the signature • " A Friend of 31 Ireland," refuting state ants that had evidently been made in a previous issue by the editor, attacking 'the Catholics, and complaining bitterly f their treat- ment at the hands of t eir Protestant fellow -countrymen. It is in an excel- lent state of preserva,tiola, and was re- ceived by Mr. Kidd fromihis son George who is now in Lincoln, Nebraska. It is indeed a, valuable literary treasure and contains much that is interesting at the resent day,ibut it does make 'one feel ind of queer to be r g and handling a paper whicV was prin d long before the present generation w born, and to think that not a soul is in existence, in this world now who was iving and took part in the somewhat. exciting times when this venerable sheet first saw the light olda,y. Mr. Kidd should preserve the relic, and hand it 4own to future generations. ', 1 . 1 LACROSSE. —A most enthusiastic meet- ing of lacrosse players w s held at the Commercial hotel last anday night.

The question was : " Was it right to hang Riel ?" The Reeve tOok the affirmative, and Messrs. Murchie, Dodds and Dorrance (teacher) the nega- tive. Each side gained in their own estimation, although the negative ad- mitted some one should be hanged, but Riel had grievances which caused. him to rebel. He is the last man that will ever be hanged in Canada, as every mur- derer will have sufficient grievances to blame -some one else for arousing his passions to murder after this. It was not fair for three Grits to attack one - Tory, after having such practice in de- bating in the Reform Club, and if the Reeve held his own with three suCh able debaters, he should'run for member next election.

This breach between him and the men who ought to be his ' best friends will grow instead of lessen, and, whatever people may say, it is the remit of his refusal to distribute the offices fast enough. A TROUBLESOME QUESTION. The Democratic managers are. really thinking of Meeting the immense pro- speetive draft§ on the Treasury for in- creased pensions by levying a s_pecial tat. The House has already passed the Mexican Pension Bill, and the Senate will probably amend it by adding the Arrearages bill. It is not impossible ; that it may then pass. The Southern .and free trade idea is that this drain should be met by a levy which will af- fect mainly the Eastern and Middle States—the eatitalist section, as they delight to call it. Mr. Morrison's idea is to revive the odious income tax, while Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has hit upon the idea of taxing corporations. Their excuse is that the North receives nearly all the money paid out for pen- sions, and therefore the money to meet them should come from that section, This is a rather narrow view to take of the question, one is tempted to .aay, hut it is strictly in line with the reasons of many Southern men.for their support of the Etlueation Bill. They say, in effect, that the South is poor, and the expenditure of this great sum will be -of great benefit to their section, regardless of the edueational issue. • The Southel luPpose, is very poor, but its represen- tatives are rather too zealously After the old flag with an appropriation throssm in.
