The Goderich Salt Well. inay ,nowbe said to be m a_etive operation. \ The build- ing for "manufacturing- the salt is just about completed., ..It is a very large structure, 66 feet wide by t25 feet long- ) arranged for the aiecemmodation of' two blocks of kettles (52 in -each) one of which is ready .. for operation, and 11/ bins, to contain the -manufactured article, ten feet Square, with every con- veniencelor handing, &c. * There are to be two tanks of equal size for containing the preciousluid, one of whichis finish- ed, and the other under way. That com- *fed has a capacity of 4000 "gallons or 116 tons.: The brine is being - kum- ped into this tank, as we write, fully. 80 per cent. in strength, and -in it7olutite, it is believed, Otte sufficient to -keep the 'block going. : The brine -that . trickles out ,tinderneath ,the tank - has already coated -the tinabers,With pure salt, and in fact it." week's operations Must give the place quite a salty appearance for ,some distance around. The Post of borinc; the well was g3000; and of the large manufactory $4000, so that everything when paid will very nearly up to $10,000.___. The contractors complain that they: will lose heavily on their contracts ()nettling is certain that no one viewing the amount of -work can doubt for a .moment that the utmost economy _ hat been: used. The building was superintendetby Kr. David Aunci- matt, who Seems to have discharged -his duties faithfullyandwell. Boiling operations:wig be commenced in the latter part ofthis week or .beginning of next, and we hope Very seen to be able to announce that n .capital article of salt in ready for market. Then Goderieii: will take a start in earnest, and we shall begin to think of -The Daily &gnat Terrible and Fatal Accident. Yesterday .(Monday), _ a man named• 'nog.

A vigorous effort is being made here, On Friday last seven of the FettianS captured between-) Ridgeway and Fort Erie were arraigned , before Mi. Justice joint Wilson at Toronto. They all wish, cd for time, to procure , witnesses, and S eine of. them had the audacity to ask that two Fenian *leaders at Ridgeway shoal be allowed, to give evidence in - theirfavor and be protected in doing som. Te this request the leaed Jildg very properly replied that Said leaders might come forward with their evidence at their own risk Every reasonable delay -was, however, granted. M. C. Cameron, Q. C. is retained -to defend some three or four of the prisoners. On Saturday kit, 'when one of the Fertians was arraigned, Mr Tkuriion U. S: bonsai stated that he had received instructions to procure coun- sel for such of the. "'prisoners as were American citizens, This most extraor- dinary announcement has created both astonishmeat and disgust; but it, we think, in. perfect keeping with the conduct kf American officials throughout. No doubt the prisoners will be dealt with ac- cording to British law, regardless °icon, seciucnees. _Poing Abroad for Netts'ot - _Ilonte.j The Leader in its 1 -Provincial Item' eol- umn MSS that "Dr. John Neer, the AMeri- can-consul at Goderich, has been dismissed • to make room for a supporter of President Johnson" Pretty good, especially as the name et Dr. Near was neverhea.h rd here e- fere,bnt not worse than the slapsus ofrinether _city cestemperary, who gravely- informs '.his readers that one Thd uwas recently arrested at Detroit for stealing Mr. Wm Shoeb-ottom's Mare I THE 4120THSATI CA8T.LE2. • I • , • DiPWN CONLIIICI• - TORS.
