of the opportunity to witness its work and
to examine its peculiar and entirely new

GOOD RECORD FOR AN OLD MAN.—
Our old friend, Mr. W Martin, celebrated
his 74th birthday, ou Wednesday last,and
we venture to say that many people who
are considerably his junior in years, are
far leas active and not able to perform
anything like the work that he accom-
plishes. As is well-known, he is a dealer
in rags, all sort of irons, brass, copper,
lead, bones, rubbers and has bought,
handed and shipped the last year to Mon-
treal, Hamilton, Toronto, London and
'reorgetown and other places, the follow •
ingtruck :-110,000" lbsof iron,,cast and
wrougbt; 88,000 lbs. of rags, sorted into
7 qualities; 13,000 lbs. of bones, 2,000 of
wool and horse hair, 1,600 of old copper,,
500 of lead, 800 of old rubber, 500 of old
zinc, 500 of old newspaper, `besides sheep
and calf skin and hides and other small,
truck. All the above are very low in
price, rags in particular, He shipped last
week 4 tuns on time at a loss of $G0 in
the difference of price since September
1st last year, and still has a quantity pot•
sold. The cause of depression is heavy
shipmehts have been received from Now
York and other"cities in United States,
.iced from China, then the better classes
are shipped from Ireland, Germany and
Russia : these are chiefly linen, - There is
much work amongst the rags,..''''.the hre
sorts have to be as exact as twheat for
market, each just what it is represented
to be. Even the old mits, with cloth and
leather patches on must be all taken off,
so as nothing but the clear worsted is sent.
Some tailor's new clips must be made
clean, and all oottoo threads picked off
them, and all tbat are shoddy or satinets
must be picked and all,must be wool in
that class, 'again all old coats, vests and
pants must have the cotton linings taken
out for market. All this implies a lot of
work.
A YOUNci man named Fo+vli r, employ-
ed with Mr. Hayward, has been laid up
with, an attack ot inflammation n the

MR,•FRANK KILTY, teacher, who. has

ELECTION NOTES—A few Liberals who
have lived in town for a good while,found
they had been omitted from the voters'
list, and one or two Conservatives were
likewise situated. Nearly all the absenfee
vo • s were present on ;'election day.
Judgi by the result in town, the Libe-
rals took
against thein.
the "conversion
any men to the polls who voted
The Conservatives boast that
f so-called Liberal votes
in town took place •n•Sunday; it was a
good day, but a bad de • It was Clinton
that gave Mr. Cameron , majority .in
the last election, and we are • u rry'to say
it was Clinton gave Mr. Porter .is this
time Very few ballots were spoiled
although one man was foolish enough
write " Cameron" across the face of his.
The pockets of some of the -Liberals are
lights .thaptheywere several days age ;
it did not go in the shape of boodle, RV
in bets. It worthless boxes, "etc., were
used- for a -bonfire l tine oblect,ion would
fie . ra.ised -to it, but to take $u, . worth, of,
good boxes„ from the premises of one man
is a little trio much ; the town can be held
responsible for all that was burned. The i
young Man who rang•the fire bell while
the bonfire was in progress, should have
been sent up to Goc1erich fur tt week • be
ing intoxicated .is no excuse for such au
act.' 'All -the deputy -returning officers
here were sworn before • being allowed to
vote, as, it is claimed by the Liberals they
had no right to voce, if they received pay
for their services; on the other hand they
claim they had a 'right to yote. It is
stated that at one of the polling places in
Godericb tow,nship,the Liberal scrutipeer
asked to have a voter sworn, but the voter
left the room ; he came.back again (which
was illegal) and was allowed to vote, the
deputy -returning officer, so it is said,, ib -
fusing to. administer the oath; if this is
true the officer is subject to a fine of $200.
A Conservative in town- who paired off
with a Liberal, was not fair enough to
keep hisagreement, though the other did.
The young' man who -reported' Mt'•Pnrter's'
reception Isere to the London Free Press
must .have been badly tangled- up when
hesaw "the town literally jammed and
thousands is from the country: There
was a fair nureberin the procession, but
a long way below a "single thousand.
