Ali right thinking and honest minded persons
will admit that the Secretary is entitled to
the gratitude of the public for the trouble
bs took, and that to his efforts is a great
m'oalure is due the\\satisfaction and success
of ttlit day's celebration, which all admit
wail the most satisfactory witnessed for
many years. The Secretary can afford to
smilelwith all other sensible people, at the
SUICIDAL and eIaLLOW editorial devoted t_e
hie castigation,in which the "Signal" admits
tee plainly seawords can do it, that because
the Secretary did not gree it the little
wetter of prin>,ing amounting to four dollars
nobody was permitted to know anything of
the proposed celebration 'and consequently
Dominion Dee' this year was scored out of
the celandtir; by the "Signal." In other
words the "Signal" which has been support•
ed and patronized by this _town for the last
20lor 26 year, is prepared on the slightest
provocation even for the paltry sum of
a4 00 to sacrifice the best interests of the
Town 1 Is it not due to the business men of
ibis town who advertise in and patro ize the
"Signal" that public matters calculated to
benefit the town should be pointed out, and
is it not due to country eubileribers that they
should be duly ldltdrffied of the amusements
and attractions here on public holidays, that
they may avail themselves of them? What
do they pay their subscriptions for, if not to
get the news; or jrlaj What does the -Sig-
nal" profess to do if not to convey the news
to its subscribers ? Uufortunate subscribers!
you get a scanty, little bit of news when it
Pleases the " g(gdil " to give it, which is
generally too late and too much adulterated
with spleen or falsehood to be of use to any-
one.
Unprincipled Journalism.
At the last sitting of the Town Cdun-
eil, on the 8th inst., Mayor Doyf A called
attention to the ;Mt that his remarks
on ti et Colborne petition asking for the
abolition of the market fees, had not
been correctly reported by the "Signal,"
end he stated that what he did say in
reference to the people of Cdlborne was
"that it should be remembered that
"while vee could not afford to do without
"then1,.they could not ad`ord to do with-
out tie." Whereas the "Signal" report-
ed hi -n to have said that "we can do
without them, but they cannot de with•
"eat us."
lir. Doyle said he felt it Wan due to
the town, not to say anything about what
was due to himself, that this correction
should be made by the "Signal." Re ap-
pealed to the trtetiebers of the council
present to sustain him it he had stated
the facteorrectly.
The editor of the "Signal" was present
and he asked the Mayor to do him the
;justice of telling the council that *hen
his attention was called to this mitt -rep-
resentation before the couneil nfdeting
he at ones said it was a mistake, and he would
correct it Did he correct it as lie prom-
ised, and as any honrable man would hare
done when his.attention was called in to
marked a manner?
To deal fairly and honorably would be
contrary to thtlguiding principles of the
"Signal."
In the first place the matter was not
referred to at all by the "Signal" in its
last report of the proceedings of council,
where it should have appeared : it was
purposely omitted there in order that the
people whom the first report was intend.
ed to prejudice should not obseffid's the
correction, and it was only mentioned in
another part because they dare not omit
it. How do they correct the admitted
misrepresentation ? By repeating it in
in aggravated form. They say that the
Mayor did say what both he and the
Council say he did not, and to give the
"Signal's" baseless assertion the setnb-
Lance of truth they, as usual, when
stating what they know to be deliberately
untrue, shield themselves behind "some
Who were present," taking care however
not to adduce any tangible proof.
It will be very singular thing indeed,
if the Co ncil allow this matter to pass
without farther attention, as it is one
which seriously affects the rights of every
Member of the Board, namely, the right
to he reported carrectly when at all.

The electrio light, the wonder of the world,
constitutes another of the great attractions
of this the greatest of great shows; Al an
expense of $20,000 it has been added to the
Aggregation, and will be exhibited after-
noon and evening, in entire modus operand:.
The Zoological department is probably
the most complete travelling exhibition in
the wotld. It eomprises most of all animals
that live, among which are varieties never
before exhibited on this continent and pro-
bably never will be again. So great is the
number, that to secure more than a passing
observation it least ten days would require
to be taker into consideration, thongh Mr
Forepangh has his arrangements so com-
plete that in visiting the Show one can
gradually pass along and et a glance oh -
serve all of those animals natural in life
though not in their ntttiirell element. The
Aggregation comprises a wildern es of wild
besets and exotic birds, everywhere pro-
nounced the most enerthous gathering of
animal life since the primeval d'ye wher

Circus in the world ever had—perfnrmere

expended two million dollars in securing
this great combination. No one should fail
in attending. It will be an opportunity
never before offered and probably never
will be again in Goderich. A'mission as
low as charged by ordinary travelling
concerns, whole there is twenty times the
attraction. Be sure and visit it on Mon-

There is no doubt but that the largest and
most interesting entertainment ever witness-
ed in Goderich, will be produced on Mon-
day next, 1tth inst. Adam Forepeugh's
Colossal, Zoological and Arenic Aggregation
will then be a hibited, and from all we can
learn the like of it was never before seen,
and possibly *ill never again be seen in
Goderich. We had a conversation last week
with a gentleman who had recently visited
this great show, and be told us that it was
impossible to dsscrioe the features in detail
He particularly mentioned the firing of a

Seamus Aconesirr.—L A. Hicks, Esq., of
the firm of Blake k Co., of Detroit, Exeter
and Itintail, met with a very serious accident
here a fed• days ago He was at the station
to see a friend off updi1 the train, and upon
returning the horse took fright at the cars
and became unmanageable, upsetting the
buggy, pitching Mr . (licks out, through
Which he sustained injuries of a very severe
character. The horse ran away and smash-
ed the rig considerably. Mr. Hicks continu-
ed afterwards to get around but there was
no hoodwinking the fact ttiet it was with
a great degree of exertion, attended with
pain. •Hie head was badly cut, and bis
arias and his thigh sprained. We are pleased
to learn, however, that no serious results
lnterveaned, and that he is agate able to
attend to business as usual.
Poymeev —A few weeks ago we noticed
aparagraph in the Signal of a somewhat
uncourteoua nattire towards someone in the
vicinity of Exeter, because he was endeavor-
ing to establish himself ie �business while in
adversity. The patagrepli was credited to
the Exeter Tithes, and, if true, that paper
certainly exercieed a lack of leas brains than
claimed by that renouned headless rooster on
exInbirion last wffiter, when penning such
an article. The 3'ignal, of bourse, net rally
emerging upon idiocracy, republished the
article. It might be said in reply, however,
that if poverty vias a passport to heaved the
Signal man could hare been trtindled there
in a wheelbarrow, upon s slack wire with
ease, quite a few yearn ago.
FATAL CCIDSIIT.-nn Friday last. 9th
inst., Mrs Margaret McGuines of this town,
met with an accident which resulted in al
mots i stent death. She, in company with
her son and another lad named Hale, had
been out picking berries, and on returning
home were overtaken by the storm. They
were hurrying along the railroad when the
afternoon train was coming in, and pro-
bably through the severity of the storm did
not hear its approach The lads jumped and
barely escaped, but Mrs, McGuines was not
so fortunate. She was struck by the engine
and hurled a distance to the side of the
track. The train did not halt but proceeded
to the station, and after dischargit.g the
paseengere returned to the spot, where the
unfortunate woman was then breathing her
last. An inquest was not deemed neceesarv,
as the circumstance was considered purely
accidental. Deceased was interred in the
R. C. Cemetery on S"ndav last, a large con-
course of people following her remains to the
grave. Much sympathy is felt for the
family. which is quite large and in a measure
wee dependent upon her for support.

Cathcart & Aldrich. Their prices are re-
duced to li'9ing rates. They heve broken
up th'e double, heck action, patent corn-

Fancy the "Star" and the "Signal" charging
$85 for a little,job of about five average
days' work. Cathcart k Aldrich did the
t same work this year for $18 45 and made
- money out of it. If it is doubted, bring

SOM'WHAT MUDDLuD.—We noticed in a
town paper last week a personal, c ttigratu-
lating Messrs Charies McManus, of this town
upon having made a very eloquent eddrese
on the occasion of the distribution of' prizes,
and Mr. J. J Dbyle, son of Mr. Jas.. Doyle,
proprietor of the Merchants' Express, for
having received five first prizes in Engish,
grammar, book-keeping. penmanship;. Chris-
tian doctrine, and in the commercial class,
in L'Aseumption College, Sandwich. We
congratulate ot.r young townsmen upon
their marked distinction, at the came time
we may' remark to that town paper that in
announcing honors of so distinguished a
character -to- our young townsmen they
should not have so m,de a farce of it as to
have added the following most ludicrous
paragraph. "For two young men from God-
erich to carry away so many honors in one
of the hundreds of colleges in the United
States, is a credit to the town, of which we
are happy to make note" We mayrema,k
that for a' Goderich editor to publish sucL
au absurdity proves only too clearly that
the town must have a lunatic on hand and
is only patiently waiting for on opening to
eonfiue him in the Asylum. What school
boy does not know. where Sandwich is? If
that editor is not muzzled he will next an-
nouuuce that Bayfield is in Egypt.
