In the ineautime we had inquired. into. the nature of the '"Rine," and tete to what thence we had in a fie& against them, the result of which was tve iidopted for 'our platform "No Cernbination." Messrs. Giclley speak about the practice of "solicit ing orders &ca." retying thee it is %refi- t:mown thet this hae been resorted to. We were not'. aware that this practice had been *resorted to, as encl. thitigs are not spoken •of down our end of ei,t. own, the etate- meets we presume being confined to the teeth of us, but we sincerely trust this heartless act hi hot been practieed, we woeld intimate, however, that Messrs.

Niesars Gidley invite all aud sundry to examine their by-laws, and as we would not heve the solitude of their surroundings disturbed by the inquisitive publio, we will publish certain uf thee° by-laws free gratis. First, we would eall attention to two sentences found on a card, between the 1.4th and 15th pages of the byelaws. The card is intended for all Undertakers ealtside ot' the ring, and is signed by the Secretary, :first coaxing them to join, then 'boasting of their despotic power, end then threatening what they will do. This is the exact wording of these sentences. "We have a meuabmehip of over three hundred Mit of four hundred and eighty Under- tekere in Ontario, and are now prepared to deal with would be Undertakers who are trying to start business and cut off our patronage all over the country. We have the inettmf in our power to prevent it hnd shall net be slow to use there," Messrs Gidley state they can buy goods outside of the ring if they wislaewhat then is the meaning of this by-law, page 13, article 28, Members of this .e.ssociation shall uut purchase 'Undertakers supplies from Jobbers or from those who du not belong to the Burial Case Association." The Burial Case .Association is the term the riug manufacturers apply to therneel- yes. We would also emit attention to art- icle 10, page 12. ''Each and every party or parties who may idler this date start business as 'Unclertalsers within the juris- diction of 'this Atsocietion may become members by malting application to the seaetary and pay Lug the aem of twenty-five dollars; and be approved by at leaat three erred four of the nearest members of this Associatiou in good staeding to the applieants proposed place of business, and receiving the approval of the Ex.

Moser& Gidley say WO WTI got all the goods we want, and we know we. can, but it was only a few weeks ago that they were boasting that we could not get goods, because we could not get into the "ring,," they thought they had us choaked to death, but thanes to Manufact- uring Opposition whieli ilea lately started we are ilidepeeditat ot them alai the pub- lic is not at their mercy. We will deal with the price list in the future; we have forseen ell diffieulties and have informae• ion on every point, and we think by the time we are through with this "ring," we wdl make Messrs. Gidley ashamed of the manner in which they have "combined" against the customere, whom they boast have supported theta for thirty years. We are gaining the support of the public, by our efforts to break down this mono- poly, and we will thew that our stand ix eliciting praise from all over the country. Yours truly, low a eee ANnazers.

They then returned home to spend the evening in merry -making,. The progam of the evening consisted of dancing and music, beat yocal and instrumental. Among, the guests were friends and rel- atives of the bride front London, Ont,, Detroit, Mich., and St. Thomas, Dakota. The wedding was in every) respect, a wand affair, as Mr. O'Rourke, or los em- ittble lady never does anything by halves. All their friends wish them long life, happiness and proeperity.
