The sudden entan,g lelent brought the machinery to a sttindstill, and some twenty minutes elapsed before he woo released. Having retained his senses amidat all confusion after being liberated he was driven in o hug^gv to Dr. Staebler's, upwards of a mile distant, where, upon examinat- ion it was found that a cut extended from the wrist to the palm of the hand, only a small pamtiele of skin being left to hold it together The young man is doing as well 88 can be expected under the circumstances, feeling anxious for it to once mere become sound. -Mia August Hill, of the Central Hotel, has been confined to his bed with an attack of inflammation of the lungs, He is now recovering slowly. -Mr. Joseph.

This is the univer- sal law of trade, then the idea of locat- ing a market is connected with- the, thought of placing it in such a positiona that all hustera' may most ,eon venienasat meet ancrwhere the busineas interestsoir a progressive town can be best servea. ' Should all general public businesaa institutions be placed where most con-, venient to the business publiglbr where's best suiting particular interests! The - good of the whole is the law that7 society and best government alone. recognize ,.'arid consequently a public: business institution for the benetit nt the general business publia as buyers; and sellers, it must be located as near - as possible to (first) the centre of busie; ness and (secondly) as' near as possible-, to the centre of population. Unfortu- nately our market fails to meet either - of the foregoing requirements. Judginse: by the aboveit has been wrongly placedi Have we judged according to just - rules, if so, the verdict MUST stand, and,' judgment given in accordance. The s market is in its wrong position. The interest of the business public, that part which forms the life of a town's:a progress,has been nepetle.cted and an ins -al itution which should be their conveni- ent instrument of trade has been placed' hi such a position as to be an impossible: convenience. Should this error not- be -- corrected that is the question which the, elestors are now asked to decide. : Is it best to 00*130 a false step or correct, it, to bend to it or boldly acknowledges our error and do our best to retrieve It.. The principlethat involves the lie to. hide it makes it worse, if involved here - If weare on the wrong track we care never go right by going further in that - direction and it follows that if we ham, made a mistake in placing the market we can never be wise in pursuing- the - wrong direction taken. The evil of am,. uncorrected mistake will be as surely felt here as in a misplaced switch, or the s first steps of a gambler. We must face,: right about and do right. Voters wilt you do right without fear of consequen- ces. Will you do right as all names NY0>' truly honor have done and vote to cor- rect a wrong already done, though it' involve personal loss. Do we reaselum rightly, 12 50, will you vote right. 7111/14.1t11_01A.GES. CITARIMON-GOULDING.--in township, on 10t1) inst,, by the R,ey. R. Wilson, at the residence of the: bride's father, I.
