EDITOR ExeosiToet, --DEAR SIR, --T tiE ExPOKTOR-of November 6th contains a let - :ter anent thel3russe1s Postmastership, from a person who signed himself as a Grey Re- former, and who appeared to be in quite a quandary. Not knowing which is the proper thing to say, " turn the postmaster out," or" let him stay in," he appeals to you, Mr. Editor, to get him out of the 'dilemma by your opinion or adviee, stating that he has voted on the Refotnit side for over 40 years, and has been a reader of TI1E EXPOSITOR for over half that time, and yet, apparently does not know right from wrong. What makes the matter still worse, he says some of his neighbors Layn in the same fix. I would like to have a good look at the innocent. I think I have just as strong a case as he has, for I too have voted as con- scientiously for the benefit of the country as he es/r did, and have been a reader of THE EXPaITOR for about the half of 60 years. Like him too, I do not know, or pretend to know much, but this I do know, for the thing is as plain as the holes in a ladder, .that the Reformers were not put into office forever, that a mere side issue put them in, and another one could put them out just as quick. In that event, Mr. Editor, the precedent your opinion advocates would come pretty awkaxd to the Reformers if they were paid back in their own coin. If the Reformers thought it wrong for officials to say a good word for their country, or if they thought it any kind of high treason for a person on the platform to speak of the general prosperity of she country and the increasing business of the post office, as Mr. Farrow did on one occasion, then when in power they should have enacted a law to that effect, so that people would know where they were at before the elections in June.

Some weeks ago a tube was inserted in the windpipe of a five-year-old son of Horace Pratt, to assist breathing during an attack of diphtheria. When the proper time ar- rived for removing the tube it was missing. The cathode rays were then brought into operation with the hope that the tube would be located, but without saccess. A second and more exteaded exposure was made, but not the slightest evidence of any metallio substance in the child's throat or body could be found on the eensitive photo- graphic plates. -Rev A. M. Phillips-, of the Douglas Methodist church, Montreal, and formerly pastor of the Methodist church, St. Marys, Ontario, delivered a sermon on football on a recent Sunday in which he condemned that game in the severest terms. Once it wasEt a game played by gentlemen in a gentlema ly way for pastime, he said, but now it was marked by scenes of reckless brutality and immorality. Ethics which would not be tolerated in business ruled on the football field, and a man might violate all rules so long aa he did it in such a way as to escape being put off the field. The game had ceased to be a help in the best development of man- hood; the players had ceased to be men. The football field of to -day resembled a hip- podrome and the players acted the role of Roman gladiator's. No one e,ould, say that it was not a brutal game who sawi them go on the field with a surgeon, stretcher, band- ages, and splints. Mr. Phillips has been much critized for a recent sermon on ath- letic, sports and this sermon was intended as a reply and a strengthening of his position. • -The Downie Ploughmen's Association held, its annual ploughing match on Wed- nesday of last week, on the farm of Mr. George Wood, concession 7, Downie.

This was in 1856. In that year John Cronyn and his four sons moved to the neighborhood, and in 1859 built the first house in the corporate limits of the present town on the site where the Queen'is hotel now ;tends.
