Sia,—In the old land when a thief is caught in the act and pursued, he loudly cries "stop thief' in order to divert attention from himself, a pro- ceeding adopted by the Grits on the Public accounts committee when they besmirched the character of a sickly female public servant of the P. U. department in order to hide the crimes of their compatriots the Grit thieving cabinet ministers of Quebec. A noble pastime truly for men who are anxious to handle the money belonging to the Dominion. It has always been understood that Mercier would be Laurier's minister of Public Works. Of this man the Quebec papers say "that when he took office be was a poor man but now owns more, real estate than bis salary for the period would purchase, and withal lives nobly." Could you not invite the Ontario Grits to investigate these charges made against Mowat's chosen come panion. Should the Ontario Grits enter into t:,is work with half the ardour they attacked the character of a poor sickly woman. they will occupy a higher reputation among honest men than they do at present. Yours truly, Not in the $175,000 steal. Goderich, August 15, 1891. Stanley'. Shropshire sheep seem to be at the top so far es demand and price are concerned.

On Thursday of last week a small tribe of bicylists, numbering about seven, passed through our town from Seaforth on their way to God- erich.

They arrived at 11 a. m. and put in a very delightful day. Three cheers for the Capt. The •fair ones of our town are sighing for a picnic of the good old kind. Where are the sports of Bay- field 1 Where are the hustling yachtmen, students, counter -jump- ers, the engineer and other well known followers of that which is fair? Echo answer's where. Bayfield has organized •a grand company of musicians accompanying their vocal powers with instruments. This melodious organization gave their first. exhibition in the Lake Park last Thursday evening Much to the pleasure of those who were roll- ed in the arms of slumber. Moonlight selling is the latest wrinkle in Bayfield'a history. Many a happy couple may be aeon in their little birch -boat canoe drifting over the calm waters ; but on a larger scale the sailing boats with their towering wings of canvass and merry crews who may be heard for miles. The London Bicycle Club, to the number of eighteen, passed through here on Sunday morning en route to Goderich. The champions of the wheel sped through our town at a very rapid rate, but we particularly noticed the leader --the lady—at the head of the flying wheels. The Scotia is gone. She farewell - ed on Tuesday. Her whistle will no longer call the fair ones for a spin on the billowy deep, and they deeply regret it as may be seen by the tears that are daily shed at the pier. The water in the river having raised several inches, the sight of the fair weepers explains all. Ae picnics are all the rage it ne- cessarily indicates that sailing must follow and such is the case with the yachts Dufferin and Daisy, which are excellent Bailors and well equip- ped for sea voyages, but a difficulty arises as to which is the fastest bail- ing boat, which in the netr fubur'e "will be disliule l hi eome,i irng more than words. —This Beason 255 binders have been sold at Deloraine, Man.

No. 928 are thinking of getting up a fife and drum band. The expense is the only difficulty lie there is plenty of musical talent at hand. Master Charlet Johnston is rapid- ly recovering from his recent severe attack of quinsy but it will be some time yet before he will be able to go back to hie work. Last week's New Era contained a history of our village written in a very pleasing and jocular style, and and was very interesting. We might add that our village was named after Mrs. Armstrong, sr. whose maiden name was Somers, the village being built on a corner of her husband's farm. The present spelling does not corrrespond with the original, but changee take place in the spelling of the names of almost all places of ancient fame or date, and besides the present spelling is more suitable as an index to what the traveller will find here both in climate people and surroundings. Our village has certainly taken a new lease of life. There is more business being done in it than ever before and this is likely to continue and increase as yeare roll by. There is a good opening here for a shoemaker, a tailolr,a bar- ber, a wagoumakor, and we mere go- ing to say a doctor, but are afraid our healthy climate would kill a doctor (financially) and so we leave him out and hope it will not hurt his feelings to "get left." Our peo- ple are believers in the principle of "United we stand, divided we fall," and so they all take the one eide in politics and are nearly all members of the same church. This principle of union to) has added to the pres- ent population of our village with- out calling in the aid of emigration agents, but of course we have dune considerable advertising in the mar- riage and other columns of the newspapers. If the desir- ed tradesmen do not locate here soon they will find their places filled by natives "to the manor born", and will have to turn sadly away and bewail their lost opportun- ities of becoming wealthy and heal- thy. Come along gentlemen, now or never. We will give you a hearty welcome. Clinton always claims to be the hub and we profess to bo good fellahs and although if you come here you may be tired and made tight, you will always be spoke well of because you will be tired with toil and your pockets will be tight as the result of that toil, and so having friends on both sides of you you must surely be happy. So mote it be. Last week's late items. Miss Annie Lovett, of Birr, is visiting under the parental roof. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Manning spent Sunday with friends at Sheppard - ton. 0, M.
