had been formerly opposed to Confedera-

would do all power to support the
„constitution, at the saute time censuring
-the appointment of -Me-McDougall, who,
he said, was not aeceptable to the half-
. -breeds and Indians Nino his actions in the
Manitoulin affair.
Mr Macpherson thought better commu-
nication with the North West should be
-established than that contemplated last
_session.
Mr Cainpbeil defended the Government.
The Bill relating to the Coasting Trade
was read a third time; as was also the
11s/reties Bill.
The debate on the address beino over,

A considerable amount of formal bush
mess was got :through yesterday' afternoon,
very-litfle of it has any ispecial impor-

intention to .fulhl the pledge given last
session with reference -to a bill to limit the
rate of interest, the question being for the
present left open whether such measure
could constitutionally- originate in the
oenate. Resolutions oo the subject of
banking and curreney are also promised
for nee; week; and Mr Langevin informed
the House taat the question of improving

cal printer or not --(judging from the fact
that his sheet is printed outside of the
County, we should say not) -but we think
'we do know that an experience of eighteen
i:ears with the Huron Signal enables us to
judge as to whet is right in any such case.
W e think we have never been behind in
enterprise, and if we have ever failed, the
Expositor will please point out when and
how.
The Expositor descends to the, Dan
Moronism of alluding, to what he terms
our " limited circulation." Now, on that
point we are ieuite satisfied with the ver-
dict of our adieetiers, to whom and to
all others our bona fide lists are at all times
open for inspection.
The Expositor hints thee our "conscien-
tutus scruples " would nelt., allow us to
charge more than e1.00 for the Weelheely
Signal -it not being worth moreein his
opinion, than that sum. It ill beeerees
the Expositor man, after having chiselled
the County out of a large sum of money to
talk about conscientious smtiles Scru-
ples, forsooth ! Let him be man enough
to come out and answer the distinct charge
of lieculation we have fastened upon him,
and from which he cannot escape, wriggle
as he may.
The fact of the matter is that the Ex-
positor attacks us becanse we think fit to
compete with city weeklies merely for the
reason that he cannot get out of a dirty
scrape which we would not be involved
in for a good deal. Our " conscientious
scrupples" have prompted us to do the
Cuenty pnntirig hones-tly for a long series
of years ; let the Seaforth egolist say as
ranch, if he care,' althengh he has only done
the work for one year !
TOWN _C_OUNCIL.
The Council met on Friday, 25th Feb-
ruary. Present ; the Mayor in the chair,
Messrs. Passmore, Gibbons, Smith, Wat-
son, Seymour, Sinclair, Detlor, MeKay,
Gardiner, Runciman, Howell and Clifford.
Minutes of laet regular and special meet-
ings approved and signed, The account
of G. N. Davis, for 812 16; was ordered to
be paid. A petition of Ratepayers for an
effcient system of drainage -the main
sewer to be built ip almost the sameturse
recently recommended en thq SIGNAL—
was read. Moved by Mr. Runciman, sec-
onded by Mr. Gibbon.s, That it be received
and filed. Petition of David Reid for re-
mission of $2.00 dog -tax. -Granted. Pe-
Iiition of seventy-nine ratepeyers and resi-
dents, to refuse saloon -licenses, and to se-
cure the carrying out of the law with refe-
rencetotaverns and grocery stores was read.
Moved by Mr. Seymour, seconded by Mr.
Watson, That the petition be laid over
until the reading of the By-law referring
to licenses. Accounts of J. B. Gordon
828.00, and Mr. H Horton $32.6e,referred
to Finance Committee. Montreal tele-
graph account 70 cents ordered to be paid.
The Auditors reported' the hooke and ace
counts for 1869 correct, and submitted a
statemeat relative to the Northern Gravel
Road. The report was referred • to
Finance Committee. D. Fer2usoo's ac-
count for $5.00, for relief orderi, ordered
to be paid. Sheppard and Strachan's ac-
count for $a7.05,ordered to be paid. Mrs.
H. Reed's account for 622 00 for Henry
Price's board' and washing was ordered to
be paid if 620.00 would be accepted. Ap-
plications for tavern licenses vrere receiv-
ed from Elijah Martin, H. Reed, G. Gra-
ham, E-Hosker, Jno. Craig,, J. J. Wright,
T. Dark, Wilkine & Calloway, H. Martin,
and W. J. Johnson. Applications for
shop licenses were received from Jamns
Hays, Parker -& Cattle, Sheppard &
Straehap, W. Kerr, D. Ferguson, John
Mitchell, H. Horton and G, Grant. Apo
plications forsaloon licenses were received
from Mr. McMurchie John McPherson
end. E. Bingham A 'By-lavr to regulate
the grantings of licenses to taverns shops,

Moved by Mr. Runciman,aeconded byMr.
Howell, That -no saloon licenses be grant-
ed. Messrs. Gtbbons and Clifford sup-
ported the spirit of the petition previonsly
received. Mr. Sinclair woUld have voted
against saloon licenses at the time they
were first allowed. Mr. Watson consider-
ed a proh hitory law increased drunkenness.
He knew beeanse he saw it did so in the
States. Mr. SeymOur was in favour of
licensing saloons, or as they -are and ought
to be called, houses af entertainment.
Mr. Horton was in ',favour of saloons, . for
the sake of doing justice to those whom
theCouncil hadencouraged tospend money
in the business. alr..Smith would vote
By all means ; let's have the truth ab-
out this as well as of all other ntatters.
That is what is wanted.
So saith the Free Press of the 28th.
What amount of consistency there is in the
statement of our slash -away contemporary
nuty be inferred from the following from
the Te/egraph of the 26th. Hew' the Free
Press failed to notice it is best known to its
editors :-
'The report that one of the writers for the
Globe has approached Mr. Sanclfield Mee-
donald with political proposals is, we hear,
untrue. The writer in question had not
spoken to Mr. S. Macdonald -up to Wednes-
day -evening ; and it is presumed that his
mission was connected with one of the
Narro.vgauge railways :-the directors of
which claim a public land grant from
the Ontario Government of which Mr.
Meedonald is the head."
The Globe, we may add, emphatically
denies the charge. Truly toryism must be
getting shaky when such tneans have to be
adopted.
TOWN DRAINAGE.—The influential
petition, for an efficient system of Town
drainage, presented to the Municipal
Council at its last meeting, was ordered, by
that body, to be rezeived and fylect. The
ratepayers will eXcuse their representatives
for not, on account of the press of business
then behire them, taking the important
subject iuto consideretion at thatparticular
meeting. The Council will do well, how-
.
ever, to remember that the publie will not
allow this petition to be qiiietly shelyed,
but will expect it to be discussed at the.
earliest possible opportunity. The first
point to be s.ttled is whether or not the
Council is in a position to take action and
to what extent ; to ascertain the views of
proprietors and to what amount a bonus
towards the undertaking cnuld be secured.
If the Council were to resolve to, one
year, build the „ sewer half -way and, next
year, the other half, we believe, with the
bonuses that proprietors would grant, an
assessment of cent on the dollar, each
year, would cover the outlay and not be
gredged by the ratepayers. Let the
Council take action in a public-spirited
manner.
The Seaforth Expositor says the Star is
compelled to come down to the dollar
principle in order to induce respectable
people to take it. The Star is nd doubt
able to take its own part, but we must say
that such language as that we have quoted
is most coetemptible.
CoMPLLMENTARY. -The' London Free
Press -says of Albert Edward, heir -apparent
to the Throne of Great -Britain :-"The
most recent incident that has contributed
to tho unpopularity of the burly, thick -
necked young man whom .we in Canada
recollect as a pale, modeoeflooking youth,
has arisen from the divorce case of Mord-
aunt vs Mordaunt." We congratulate
many of our brethren of the Press -from
the Telegraph down to the Mitchell Advo-
cate upon the high nueral tone they have
adopted of late.

PUBLIC OPINION ON OUR -11M SYSTEM'.
-The following is one hut of many simi-1
lar letters received since we reduced the
price of the Signal, for bne year in ad-
vance, to 61.00 :--
" DEAR SIR,—I enclose an• d send to you
one dollar for your valuable paper for
1870. I must say that no man need be
without e good County paper, whenl- can
be had for a dollar, even in hard times."
We hope all, who want tosee the Signal
but do not subscribe, will send on the pal-
try sum and stop borrowing a copy from
their neighbors.

INFLUENCE OF THE PRIESTS.
Father Richotte, and all the priests, eX-

DE SALABERRY AND THE CONVENTION.
. I will gtve you one instance, out of
many, of De Salaberry's guilty conduct.
At the' Convention now in session, and
which is composed of twenty delegates from
the French and twenty from the English,
the forther uf whom have decidedly the
advantage, as they act in concert, and ex-
hibit general sharppess ; while the English
are as stupid as mules and are divided
among themselves-andi by this advantege
the French carried every article which
they wished to have in the Bill of Rights,
except one.
_ VoTING QUALIFICATION.
Is a sample of the rest, give volt
one of the demands in the Bill. It is that
all natives. have a right to vote at the age
of twenty-one, while all Canadians must
have lived in the Settlement three years
and have become householders before they
can obtain the seine privilege ; and in the
face of this De Salaberry esays they have
not demanded enough -certainly a very
foie Commissioner !
THIBEAULT'S MACHINATIONS.
If possible, Father Thibeault has proved
hineself worse than Riel, and 1 will give
you a sample of his treachery. Nearly
three weeks ago some of Riel's men bad
suspicions that Riel, was working, net for
their rights, but to bring about annekation
to the Statee, and went to Smith, the only
true man that the Government have sent
here as yet, and called a mass meeting of
all the people, both English and French,
for the following Tuesday. the mean
time, the French, who had left Riel, put a
guard of forty men over Mr. Smith's
papers, for the purpose of protecting them
from Riel, who was desirous of destroying
them. This guard remained with the
papers till they were read to the meeting
on Tuesday, when it was decided to call
a convention to frame the Bill of Rights ;
but on thenight before the meetine Father
Thibeault, accompanied by FatherrLestanc
endeavored to obtain poesession of the
papers by entreaty and threats ; but with-
out success,
BIEL'S FORCE AND POSITION
Riel's fords is considerably weakened by
the desertion of the forty men referred to,
as they were Chief of the party, and with-

An Elighsh Romance.
—
A genial American writer who is saun-
tering about the South -Coast of England,
relates the following little story in the last
issue of Harper's Magazine :-
" As I went on westward I became aware,
by the striking appearance of a fisherman
in the water, that I -was approaching the
village whose crustacean fame has given it
the name of Crab --Niton. A famous eld
place it must have been in its time, for
there are old Celtic mounds around ite and
an ancient road along which, the antique, -
Hans say, the Pheenicians used to carry
the tin they got from Cornwall, while as
yet the island was joined to the main land,
It is now a pleasant enough fishing hamlet,
with some pretty villas oo the down, at
whose foot it lies. The village. is not
without its romance. -Early in life thelittle
erphan boy named EIobson was -brought
here from Bonchurch, where he was born,
and apprenticedeto a tailor. He did well,
end, the tailor aud his 'wife became very
fond of him. as also did the neighbors. -
In fact, "Hobby" was a general favorite,
was particularly good. at singing, and of-
ten went out with the fishermen in their
boats. Great, therefore, was the grief
whenhe was one day missed; after a time
his hat was washed up on shore, and a.
boat in which he was wont to paddle was
picked up off the. coast empty. Hobby
was given up as lost. The fact was, how-
ever, that the lad, as he sat- with his nee-
dle; had seen the English squadron sailing
majestically in the Channel, and- it was
too much for him, An hour or so later,
the admiral of the sgnadron was
called to observe a bov in a boat,
making for his ship. the boy was
Hobby, who entreated to be taken on
beard. His request was granted, the boat
wee cut adrift, and the boy was teken up
with noloss.except that of his.hat, which
the wind had blown off Acton after he had
left shore. The squadron was going to
fight for Queen Anne against the French
fleet, with which it soon was engaged. -
After two hours of desperate fighting, the
young volunteer naively asked a sailor for
what object the fleets were contending.-
" Do yoo, see that rig there ? ' said the
sailor, pointing to the French flag on the
flag -ship. "Ay," said Hobby. "That
must come down." " Oh 1" said the boy,
"if that's all, Ill seewhat Icon do." The
ships of the two admirals were touching
their yard -arms, and enveloped in smoke.
The boy climbed the shrouds, groised the
, main -yard,_ and, under the cover of smoke,
actually semed . the ilag, and returned to
the deck. The disappearance of the flag
was soon 'noticed; the British cried " Vic-
toria" the French thought that their offi-
cers had surrendered, and in theoonfusion
the 'British boarded the hostile ship and
captured it. -The boy unconscious of whit
he had done,. was found by the admiral
with the French flag round his arm and
was- at once promoted. From that time
he rose rapidly to- be Admiral Hobson. -
Of course, the humble folk of little Crab- -.
Niton knew nothing of all this, -and the
tragical tradition of the little 'prentie,e
was almost forgotten when, one daye the
paid a visit' to the plaee. ej They went
knighted adnikal and some other officers]
straight to the house of the now aged tenor
and his wife, and askdd for dinner. The
ham and eggs -ail they could provide --
were set before the distinguished guests,
who, however, had- brought with, ;them
Wines and ether -luxuries, whiph their en-
tertainers were invited to partake. When
the dinner was over. the admiral struck
up an old ballad whieh he -used to sing!

paper 'On the Introduction of the Wild
Turkey (Meleagris Gallopavo) into Ar-

received three specimens of this beautiful
bird - male and two females -from the
southern extremity of Lake Huron, in
Canada, in the summer of 1866, since
which successfully reared in thenetghbor-
hood of Ardlamont, where the birds had
been allowed their full liberty in the
woods. He gave an interesting description
of the bird, mentioning that the female
lays from 16 to 20 eggs, and the time of
incubation 34 days.
