ONCE MORE IN THE TOILB.—"Tal)' Craig's liberty was of hut limited dur- ation, for he is once more behind the walls of the county jail, and the author- ities will make such tricks as he played lately quite impossible. A complaint from Brucefleld directed the search for him in that direction, and on Wednes- day afternoon Constable Thomas and Will Gundry had got within four or five miles of London in a chase which they hoped would lead to his capture. Ahead of them, descending a hill, they saw a beer wagon with two men there- on, ono of thein they knew was Craig, and when the wagon had reached the foot of the hill, and was just about too climb another, "Tab" found the two officers, one on each side of his seat, with the 'drop' un him so completely that he had no alternative but to sub- mit. He was taken t4) London to catch the north bound train, and after a per- haps not, pleasant journey, was able to greet his towner hosts in Castle Dixon with a "good evening." Craig says he was in Goderich part of one night, and after fitting himself out for an extend- ed trip, drove away south again.

There was but one motto, "Goderich Greets You," which was seen on the face of the band gallery. About 26 feet of the west end was curtained off fora supper room, the division being made with red and blue, the arrangement being lleasing to the eye. The ladies looked ovely, and the gentlemen gallant and gay. The harpers from London wore a melo-dramatic smile, and played a number of upto-date airs. One feature of the programme was that the stately "Lancers" flgiired a number of times upon it. The Rink committee deserye credit for offering the public such a beautiful floor for the lovers of terpeic hore.

A Surprise Indeed. From what we hear there is a great surprise in store for the people of Can- ada this Autumn. The Family herald and Weekly Star of Montreal has secured that magnificent picture entitled "The Orphan's Prayer," and it is to be this season's premium. Nobody who has seen "The Orphan's Prayer" ever for one moment believed that it could or ever would be secured by a newspaper ns a presentation plate, but this is an age of veritable wonders. It is no ex- aggeration to say that, the Fancily Her- ald and Weekly Star of Montreal is known in this country and in the United States and Europe for two character• istics especially—for the marvellous excellence of the paper itself, which is a surprise even to publishers, and for its magnificent premiums. It is safe to say too that leanr.al Herald and Week- ly Star premiums decorate tens of thousands of the beat homes in thisand the Old Councry. Now conies the crowning subject, "The Orphan's Prayer." It is to be issued to Family Harald renewal and new subscribers in the order rn which their subscriptions are received. Truly the publishers of the Family Herald and Weekly Star are to he congratulated on their achieve- ments. That Vexed Question. Mr. Editor:— SIR,—It is yet fresh in your memory how emphatically your cotem (the Signal) repudiated the report that its Editor was an applicant for the then vacant office of Registrar for the Coun- ty, but who can now read the editorials of that paper without noticing the un- mistakable ear -marks of t sorely disap- pointed and very indiscreet office -hun- ter. The chief object and ails of that paper now seems to be, to convince the public that the Ontario Government ought to be kicked to death by a jack- ass, and that "Dan" isust the cuddy that stands able, wiling and fairly spoiling for the job of doing it ; and all and simply because, they did not see fit to dole out their patronage accord- ing to his ipse dixit. It is utterly useless for "I)an" to try to hide his chagrin behind the flimsy veil of "aversion to Nepotism," which is all right as a general rule but like all general rules has exceptions, and this • is emphatically one of them. It ought to be borne in mind that, prior to Mr. Gibson's first election East Huron was represented by a Conserva- tive, and was regarded, and rightly so, as a Conservative riding ; principally through the very high esteem in which Mr. Gil bson is held by the Conservatives of Howick, where he is hest known, he succeeded in carrying that election,and has held the Riding in the Reform in- terests ever since ; surely if anything can entitle a man to consideration at the hands -of his party that ought to ; and if Brother "D'an' will only be good and kind enough to possess his soul in patience,until he wins overa Conserva- tive ridingand holds it until he becomes the oldest member of the House,as Mr. Gibson has done, I will venture the prediction that, there will be no howl raised over the manner that any pat- ronage at his disposal may be dealt out, The difference between Mr. Gib- son and "Dan" is Mr. Gibson won over a Conservative riding and held it; "Dan" is doing his little best to arouse dissensions that may cause the riding to revert back to the Conservative party; but, mark you, Mr. Editor, it is not any good will towards you, or the party to which you aro allitd that prompts him to such a course, so he merits no thanks from you for it. Furthermore, Mr. G. has been an ar- duous and upright advocate of the in- terests ot the riding, without perpetual efforts toward personal aggrandize- ment, being contented with his have sessional allowance, which amounts to a very moderate income when shorn by ,all the uncontrollable expenditures pertaining to the position and which agregates to en amount far beyond the ken of the vulgar hoard: First there is the election expenses : no man easily wins over a constitu- ency from political opponents without some expense, he the same more or less ; a thousand dollars don't go very far in an election, it would take several thousand dollars to enable "Our Dan" to win over a constituency, and very likely get beaten even then. But me- thinks 1 bear you say that, "He's very anxious to try;" perhaps so. It is said that "fools rush in, where angels fear- to earto tread ;" and it may be so in his case but I don't know of a riding where - the yeomanry are fools enough to allow him to try. But to return to the subject, I entirely fail to see that re- vulsion of feeling "spoken of by Daniel the prophet," towards the Ontario Government., nor do 1 expect to see it. 1 have. seen a dog wag his tail vet y often but I have never yet seen the tail wag the dog, hut I expect to see it et as much as I expect to s the Hardy sop Government blown over by a blast of wind trom the Signal, and my advice to "Dan" is, never again allow the cloven foot to leave its imprint ons the Sands of Time. Before closing T want to make ono suggestion. It is frequently remarked by newspaper readers, how unfavour ably the two Goderich papers compares with those of Clinton, Seaforth, Exeter and our own town (Winghare.) If Dan could only be induced to concen- trate those unbounded energiesof his'n towards wiping out that stigma what a glorious harvest of golden grain just ready for the sickle thsre would be in store for him. Come, now "Dan", just try it. Bayfield. 13RuEFB.-1 he show of 1896 is a thing of the past.

The sweet briar on Huron's banks With Its berries rod, Shows that the Joyous leafy Bummer time hne fled ; But crimson'd maples hold their heads, As high as of yore, While the sun In all his glory Gilds them o'er and o'er. The thistle blooms In beauty too, And vies with the rose, To give summer, a last, adieu Ere from us it goes • And the wild flower, on the hillside, Smiles upon the scene, As If no pow'r'neath heaven could Fade Its coat of green. Then hie me to the orchard boughs Merry voloes 611 the nirr from Tree tops high and low, And the vines with fruit are laden Both red, white and blue, Sheaving how loyal autumn is • Dearest friends to you, Etoree A.
