COMMUNICATION.
Old Ilnclidor Poetry,
To tho Editor of Tno Poem,
DEAN PoaT,---your poet of the last inane
of THE POST IS. I think, too hard on us la-
dies, The poet must have /met with more
than usual of those "got -up" ladies, as bo re-
fers to one quarter natural and three quar-
ters made up of paint and batting. I pity
the poor fellow. He must not think all la-
dies are of ouch a composition. He forgot
the other side, and the bogus, thriftless
shiftless cot of young 'men, nine tenths of
than mere poppets, kept by their parents
or grandparents, probably with the clothes
on their books unpaid for at the tailor's
shop, sporting their white cuffs and Idd
gloves, for show and not 25 canto in their
pockets. Away with such dudes. Any
kind of n padded and painted girl is too good
for them. Too lazy to go off and make
some honest living, parched around tho store
atepa passing remarks on ail that pass them.
No wonder, we ladies, prefer to keep to our -
Helves and endeavor to make our own
living by our needle or otherwise, than oast
in our lot with ouch bipedo, oalled young
man, and have to keep them from starving
by our industry, /better keep single. If
some of us may resort to a little powder or
other things to recoup our fading tresses
it is by far preferable to a life of drudgery to
try to live and keep up a lazy efieminite
thing, called the modern young man of our
town. Yours, &c.,
A Lady who neither paints nor puffa.
The 33rd Battalion.
In anticipation of the calling out of
this Battalion for brigade drill on the
22nd inst., Lt. -Col. Coleman, who
will assume command of the Battalion,
called a meeting of the several offic-
ers, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the purchasing of hel-
mets for officers and men, and other
volunteer business, which was held at
the Rattenbnry House, Clinton, on
Tuesday of last week. Several tend-
ers were submitted by the committee
who had the matter in consideration ;
that of John Martin & Co., of lifon-
ireal, at the price of $1,80 each, was
accepted. Lt. -Col. Coleman was au-
thorized to make the purchase auj
distribute the same amongst the Sev-
eral companies. The sum of about
$750 being needed to purehaee the
necessary number for officers, men
and band, and the officers by their
liberality have supplemented the gen-
eral battalion fund, which amounts to
$818, sufficiently to complete the pur•
chose, Other routine business was
disposed of, when the meeting adj ourn-
ed. Capt,. Mallough and Maine will
not likely be gazetted Majors, the De-
partment of Militia requiring officers
holding first-class certificates for the
position --those officers holding 2nd—
but they will likely be appointed by
regimental orders, which the Lt. -Col.
in command may do provisionally.
The Battalion will drill at London on
the 22nd inst.

On Friday evening of last week, at
the conclusion of a barn raising on
the 10th concession of Elnan, a serious
riot occurred, in which a man named
James Broughton was etruak on the
head with a handspike by another
man named Robbie, falling him and
causing a serious concussion of the
brain, Immediately after the occur-
rence Robbie made for the woods.
Dr. Hamilton was immediately sent
for, who pronounced Brongbton's in-
juries serious, and a warrant Was is-
sued for Robbie and planed in the
hands of High Constable McCarthy,
of Stratford, who io in search, but up
to the present Robbie has not been
caught. .Broughton is still uncon-
scious.

The third of the Association matt/hos was
played on the Clinton grounds, on Tues-
day last, between our own olub and Clinton.
Tho day was excessively hot and trying to
the players,, notwithstanding which the
game provedvery enjoyable. Brussels won
the toes and olooted to go to bat, sending
Dennin and D. Boss to face the bowling of
Kennedy and Turnbull. It soon became
apparent that not only was the bowling very
good but that steady playing was to be the
order of the day and although Turnbull
bowled in splendid form and was fairly well
supported in the fitld, the side was not out
until 81 ruin had been put together. Den-
nis and Currie played their usual steady
game for 11 and 18, while IY1ollaugbten's

being entrusted to J. Bona and Kitchen,
