Too late tor last Week To the Editor of the Clinton New Era Dean Sia,—I noticed a communication in your beim of the 81h inst., signed "Rate. paver," trying to juetifyethe actions of the eputy-reeve in squandering the public money of the township. I must say he made a lame effort. He says the writer of the correspondence in your issue of Dec. 18 was ignorant of the facts, but I think the trouble is that the Writer knows too much about the matter to suit some parties. He owns up to part of the truth, when he says the gravel was bad in MoTavish's pit, and they abandoned it for Weir's pit, where there was first class gravel. Now, I would like to know who Ratepayer meane by they, when he says they abandoned the one pit for the other. Does he mean to say that the contractor made the change of his own accord. Verily no. This appears to be where the loophole is, for any person who is acquainted with the location of the pits knows that Weir's is three parts of a mile from the job, while McTavish's is nearly two miles, and would necessitate the hauling the gravel across the hills and river. Why didn't ratepayer own up to a little more of the truth, and say the change was made after the hole and corner meeting. It wasn't enough for the deputy to change from the pit in Stanley, but he hired men to do the shovelling. Can it be that the deputy went into the affair blindfolded, or was hie vision so dimmed with thed ust of a race track, that he couldn't discern the dif- ference between sand and gravel, for I ani told that the Stanley pit is used for supply- ing sand for building purposes, while Rate- payer owns up that there is first-class gravel in Weir's pit, on the 18th con. There is a "nigger in the fence" some where. If the deputy had made an error, why, in the name of common sense, didn't he withdraw the contract, and, instead of letting an outsider do the work, advertisd it, and give some of the ratepayers a chance to make a few dollars out of the job. For information of the ratepayers of Goderich township, I would call their attention to the public accounts of wards 4 and 6. In August will be seen an order for $47 for hauling and shovelling gravel, also an order for $10 to John Bailey, for shovelling the same gravel. Now, the public accounts wen't lie; the money was cunningly divided into two orders, so as to throw the people off their guard. It will be remembered that the council reluctantly granted $50. Then Ratepayer gave vent to his spleen, and launched into a tirade of abuse, and calls the writer a knave, but it is easy see ing where the knavery comes in. Now, these are matters which require more than abuse to jastry. Ratepayer advises the writer to keep clear of the newspapers. I know it tires some people to have their evil deeds turned up to the light of day. He says the letter was written out of spite, but the writer has no grievance, but the com- mon welfare of the township at heart. In conclusion, I would say that I have tried to avoid personalities, but attack the deputy reeve, ais a man holding a public position of trnst, paid for out of the public funds of the township. Yours, ONE wno knows. Goderieh t'p, Jan. 14, 1892. George Boosa, a Germaii far ,er, was K frozen tto dth eath e other ni ,tht near Elrnstead station, on the C.F. ., in Es- sexq,county. The howling of his dog attracted somepassers-by, who found the body froze. stiff. . Last week was one of the coldest ever experienced in the entire North- west, but there has been little or no wind stirring, and for the most part OrAillatY. discomfort Was absent. The cold was of the intense variety that compels careful bundling up against possible perils. To the north and west af St, Paul there hae been some snow, but it is very light. The mercury on Friday went down until it froze in many localities. In fact, all through the northern part of the State, in Man- itoba, North 'Dakota, and in the Cana- dian Northwest the temperature rang- ed from thirty to fifty below zero on spirit thermometers. New York despatches tell of the cap; ture of a man supposed to be the mis- creant who has been slashing the throats of unsuspecting pedestrians of the metropolis with a razor. Dowd, the person arrested, was captured immedi- ately after making a coWardly and murderous attack upon a drunken man and the authorities profess to have cause to believe him to be the murder- er. of Carson, the Baltimore lawyer, found dead on the streets a few nights ago, with his throat cut from ear to ear. It is also said the murder of "Shakespeare," the abandoned woman, for butchering whom a poor Algerian is serving a life sentence, will be ac- counted for by the arrest. The man is probably affected with homicidal ma- nia, nevertheless his arrest may show that Inspector Byrnes' men in their zeal to convict "Fretless," have made the law an instrument, of injustice. Thursday afternoon Mr William Smith, one of the oldest residents of Toronto, was clainted by death. Sznith was in his 72ud year, and had for many years ably filled the position of detective for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Previous to this the de- ceased was on the Ontario Provincial detective force. He was then in the prime of life, and in that capacity he cleverly un- ravelled some of the greatest mysteries of theday. He workedup the Melady murder case at Goderich some fifteen years ago, and was instrumental in securing the arrest, conviction and execution of young Melady for the murder of his father and step -mo- ther. Mr Smith also arrested Mrs Camp- bell,who was hanged at London about twelve years ago for the murder of her husbtmd. The deceased was born in the northern part of Ireland, and came to America when an infant in his mother's arms. His folks took up their residence in Buffalo, and Mr Snaith when a young man, engaged in railroading, mince when he has had experience in every branch of the business. He had been ailing for the past two months,but it was only about three weeks ago that Dr. W. W. Ogden, his physician, concluded that the case would result fatally. CATT TION.
