' she has
ellen to travel back again and peddle
her eggs in the stores, after all. Sure-

odious part of the market by-law, at

in grand, allow .me to make a remark in
refereace to a short artic.L in your is,:
sue of the week before .last,. headed
" Seaforth vs. Clinton Markets,"-
the
arkets," the two markets are contrasted.
• " About two months ago I wanted to
sell- 400 bushels of fall wheat,. and as
Seaforth is a little nearer to me than
L'l niton, conseclieetly Seaforth is gen-
erally My market place. :Well I' put - a.
sample - of my `wheat into -my pocket,
went to Seaforth,,and showed my sam-
ple to several of the wheat buyers, and
all they would-- give; me was $1.05 'per
.bushel. T am a reader of the Clinton
la env Lrcc, and at -that time fall wheat
in that paper wars quoted at froin $1.10
to :$1.22, per bushel, I went :direct from
Seaforth to Cllr ton with my sample
showed it to Mr. Perreni, was offered
and accepted $1.20 per bushel for 400
bushels --making in. that one transac-
tion sixty dollars, merely by paying a
voluntary tax of $1.50 a year for, the
Clinton ton paper.
Yours, etc., i
THS. McMICHA.EL.
EDITORS- NOTE.—As regards the fees
.on baskets, itis quite unnecessary to
` expatiate at length on that subject, `:as
all achnit it an oversight in putting
them on, and 'we understand that. sonic;
of the Councillors -protested against
•there, at the time the market r. eg ixia
' tions were instituted, but, being -dealers
in that -way, their motives were brand -
.ed as being - selfish. Respecting the_
Seaforth and Clinton . Markets,. we have
founded -our opinions, Tor the last month, -upon the Kew bra ' quotations
fo he markets of the -latter place, and
t c tr own for the former, (not entertain-
'ing the least doubts as to the ability of
• the Brew Era to give their own quota-
tions high enauglr, and for our own 'we
challenge co] rection), and by so doing,
eonclude that the: prices have been. dur-
ing that time, almost without an: excer excep-
tion, considerably in favor of Seaforth.
We doubt Rot, but that at some past
time, there has been an occasional ex-
- =ception, and that cited above.'by Mr.
McMichael, is one of them. `' He. -cer-
taiuily shows himself to be a wise mann
to take two or three local papers, there-
by keeping Himself thoroughly posted.
.We, may, take this opportunity of. ail
lading to .tlae reniarks of the New Ern,,
on .the .artiele to which Mr. McM ich:.c 1
,refers, The 'Era admits erroneous
gnotations• for the'=weekan question, so_
far so good.; but further on it says that
;the admit quoting `Fall Wheat 'at ran
doiii, as he says F we had 'no criterion
whether -to assign this to an intentional
Jnr.-3tatenrent, or .stupidity- on'the part
of .the J? a, we know 'not but it evi-
dentl •is, fir one of the two reasons,' for
what we said was :
"For instance, the maximum of ..Fall_
'Wheat, there quoted is 31.•00, while $1.15
has . been j ccict , for -cin in,/'erto2• quality during
-
a t eel:

:Tr. the Editor of. the _Era styles that

sort\of thing rftndom, his definitions of
ten rn are unique, -It everting to the
above.' communication, the intent - of
which apparently is, an encleavor to
make out that the • Clinton Market
-prices are higher tb an those' of Seaforth,
we -would beg td? call attention to the
_'ra on that question, who says
"If it will please the Itxrosrcon -for us to
say that there isgenerallyno"cla fj'erence m the
prices paid between the two places, we here
say it. "' •
We imagine that the man wholclairns

ANIIINIIAN f-IANT.– Quaitryrien at
Sauk Rapids, Minn., lately discovered
the remains of a human being of gigantic
stature, in a grave which had been dug
in the solid „rock, and which was seven
feet -below the level of the river. From
the crown of the head to the sole of
the 'foot, the length is ten feet nine
arxdE a half inches. The measure exbund
the chest is fifty-nine and half inches.
The •gant mi ista' nave ' weighed at least
900 pounds when covered with a rea-
sonable amount of flesh. The•petrified
remains, nothing being left'but naked
bones, weighc304k pounds. _ The
thumb and - fingers of the left hand,
and the left foot from the ankle to the
toes,. are gone ; but all the' other -parts
are perfect. Over the sepulchre of the
unknown dead was placed a large, flat
limestone rock, that remained perfectly
separated from the surrounding, granite Physicians
