The Town Council of the town of God erieh at their regular meeting, held un the evening of the 3rd inst., passed the following resolution: Resolved -That this Council, having read with alarm the cablegram announc- ing the attempt to take the life of Her Most Gracious Ma)esty, Queen,Victoria, beg to express their warmest feelings of congratulation at Her. Majesty's escke (rent this seventh attempt to aasaasmate her. While thanking Almighty God for Hiscontinued protection of our country's noble Queen, we desire to render to her- self expressions of regard and attach- ment, trusting her life may be tong spar- ed to her subjects in this colony. Signed on behalf of the Council and people of the Town of Goderich. Holucs HowTON, Mayor. THE people of Goderich are anxious to know when is the Railway Committee likely to get to work. THE bill to repeal the stamp duties on promissory notes has been passed by Parliament and the Act came into force on Saturday last. The unused bill stamps will beexchangeable for postage stamps until the 30th of June next. THE editor of the Seaforth Sun (Tory) last week referred to the editor of the Goderich Star (Tory) as a "genial crank," and winds up by alluding to "his proto- type Guiteau." The Seaforth scribe is evidently practising rhetoric for the coming election. A MEETING of Liberals to nominate a candidate for Centro Huron, at the gen- eral election, has been called for Satur- day at Seaforth. • It is thought by some that, as there is a possibility of the Huron seats being redistributed, and as the constituency is a pretty safe one, the nominating of a candidate so early is rather premature. RUMOR hal it that the Collector of Customs at Goderich, will shortly retire on a superannuation. Mr. Doty has been an efficient and expetienced officer and well deserves an honorable retire- ment. There are three aspirants, we understand, for the position of Collector in latae of a vacancy, and two "patriots" will likely be disappointed. plea, a Tory to -day and • Reformer to- morrow, he was taken up by the Con- servative of Centre Huron because the case is a hopeless one, and none of the standing candidates of the party were willing to be slaughtered. Whether Sir Richard Cartwright or some local man will be the Reform standard bearer, the Tory candidate will get such a drubbing that he is not likely soon to forget." As THE Dar of Mr. D, McGillicuddy has been mentioned by a number of Ontario journals as a probable condi. date for the Refottn representation of North Huron, we would take this op- portunity to state that Mr. McGillicuddy is not an aspirant for honors at the hands of the coming convention in North Huron. It is true he has been solicited to accept a nomination; it is true that many of the respectable journals on both sides of politics have given hint flat- tering proof of their friendly feeling to- ward his candidature; it is also true that he has come in for his share of bespatter- ing at the hands of an unimportant wing of the Tory press -which of itself is not to his discredit -and has thereby receiv- ed a prominence entirely unsought by him. Nevertheless although friends and foes have alike combined to foist emin- ence upon him, we are in a position to state that Mr. McGillicuddy, does not at present intend to allow his name to ge to nomination. We believe Dr. Sloan, of Blyth,is the coming man in North Hu- ron at the next election, and we frankly and unqualifiedly state that if he con- tests the Riding,rhewill receive from Mr. McGillicuddy that earnest and hearty support which has always been accorded the former by the latter. A large number of the industries claimed to have been brought into exis- tence by the N. P. turn out to be es- tablishments which have been removed front one town to another, owing to in- creased railway facilities. In fact some of the "new industries" are said to ex- ist only in the mind of the Finance Minister. ° The exodus to the States during the past three years has been over ten times the number that even the "padded" list claims for honks trade The Tories seem forgetful of the fact that new manufactories were started be- fore the N. P. was dreamt oi. SUDS! RBLIIBL! BIDS! THE market fee 3111 passed the Ontario House on Monday last, and will become law in. the ordinary course.

PLE1ENTATION. -On Thursday even- ing of last week a large number of the teachers of Knox church Sunday school, and the chute, met at! the residence of Mr. D. Ferguson, and presented Miss Ferguson with a very handsome gold locket, accompanied by the following ad- dress: DEAR FRIEND, --It is with feelings of deep regret that we call upon you this evening to say farewell. By your pres- ence and instruction you have helped us in the Sunday school, and your voice has blended with ours in the songs of Zion. As a friend, as a Sunday school teacher, you have been kind, punctual, and we 'believe faithful. We trust that your labor has not been in vaiq in the Lord.

Albdrt was a faith- ful clerk, and of a very obliging disposi• tion, good recommendations which we trust will ensure him success in his new home. The Bad Axe (Mich. ) Tribune says: "rr'fon. S.
