Still they come 1 Seaforth takes the lead in picnics followed by its kinsman Brucefield. On Thursday of last week a large picnic front the above places spent a pleasant day in Breezy Bayfield. The game of quoits ie one of the familiar sports of Bayfield, and every night the sporting fraternity may be seen rusticating at this invigorating pastime. We believe Jack is the champion.

Doors opeu at 7.30. Popular prices—Fall in line. March ! On Louisa St. there lives a fair Amazon who has a fine crop of plume ani thereon hangs a tale— It was on Thursday night—time 12 p. m. and raining as it only can rain et night, when a party of adventurous youths sought to partake of those tempting plums. They had reach- ed the tree and all seemingly was well, when suddenly the fair Amazon appeared around with a pistol that from accounts seems to be a relic of the Fenian invasion of '66. With arms presented she de• mended their surrender but the bold marauders laughed her to scorn. Justly enraged the fair defender of the plums opened fire and when the smoke of battle cleared away she found not a garden full of dead and wounded, but about a bushel of fruit which the concussion had ehaken from the trees. OBIT.—During the early hours of Wednesday night passed to his long place of resting, Mr. Jno Martin, sou of Mrs. Martin of this place. Deceased had been engaged in the tin-sinithing business for a number of years past in different parte of Michigan, but owing to poor health lately had been staying with hie mother until late Illnese.

The committee appointed some time ago to select an organ for the Episcopal Church here have, after several teats, purchased an instru- ment from the Clinton Organ Com- pany. It is a splendid instrument in tone, volume, finish &c. and not only reflects the faces of ite admirers but also reflects great credit on the firm whose name it boars. WHITELY & TODD, Prrbllaecre WHOLE NO. 669 Port Albert. So, so, my hearty. You are "get- ting into hot water" for publishing my strictures of John Itansford and the salt combine._ I don't believe Mr. I1aneford ehould have a monopoly of newepaper columna ae well as of the salt prices. Nor do I think he knows any more than Clark Wallace or sume other people. Even we "bucolics" can read. And we can cypher a little too. Joe. Williams, Joe. Kidd and other's of Goderich, who are as good authority as John Ransford, told the Globe plan some time ago that Candian salt could be Bold at from 50c to 75c a barrel and a profit made. For years we have been paying $1.25 a barrel. 50 to 75 cents a barrel extortion during those years on the salt made and sold would ehow that Clark Wallace was not much out in his figures. I am for the National Policy, but not for it where those protected combine and extort and swindle consumers. And I am told that melnbore of the salt combine attack- ed the Govei'enlent for permit ing the very robbery of the people which he and his combiuesteee were engaged iu. Johu Raneford would have shown more discretion had he said nothing. He has made many inquire into this salt combine and satisfy themselves that it is an ex tortion. My style may not be the most refined but John Rensford'e was insulting—he insulted uine- tenths of the people of this country by sneering at the "bucolic" farm- ers as ignorant. You can print this or not. If you don't I shall think you esteem the interests of a score of salt ringsters more than you do those of all the rest of the people. Ilolntcsville. Mr. H.

THE GRIT DIITCHELL EDITOR SQUIRMING UNDER THE LASH, BUT DOES NOT AT- TEMPT TO DEFEND HIS POSITION. DEAR NEws-RECORD,—The editor the Mitchtll Recorder is in a very unhappy state when writing on Orange and Lady True Blue tnattere. The bed of thorns which I laid hint gently upon a couple of weeks ago he has been unable to rise from. IIe deals with "A Iluron Orangeman" and tells what he (the Recorder) don't know about the Orange Order ; proves conclusively that he bore false witness against the Order and the clergy of his own town ; that the term Ananias is applicable to him ; and winds up a column and a half of matter, the greater part of which is foreign to the subject under dile. cuseion, charging the editor of THE NEWS-BELW,O cub being the writer of the letter signed •'A Huron Orange- man." I am pleased to be so highly honored, Mr. Editor. But this state- ment is as devoid of truth as any the untruthful Mitchell editor bas made about Orangemen. When the R., - corder takes up its charges, gives its reasons and tries to prove them, I will deal with bitn. IIe has not even attempted to defend, explain or prove his assertions which I took exception to and proved to be false. Who "A Huron Orangeman" may or may not be the public do not care. A large body of men and women— respectable citizens, among them ministers of the Gospel of several denominations—have been wantonly attacked and slandered by the editor of the Mitchell Recorder. But his race is run. By the words proceed- ing from his own mouth he has placed himself in a corner from which he cannot flee. The serpent's head has been bruised, and now I would say, brother Orangemen and sister True Blues, draw the veil of charity over the poor deluded Mitchell editor. Yours, etc., A HURON ORANGEMAN. DEAR SIR,—One word with reference to the light bread of Saturday 1aat; true my bread waa weigheii in the bale ance and found wanting; it vas unac- countable upon my part, as many times during my hueine.s career has my bread been tented, and f Inuit good weight. A good Brother says that it,tnere were more Chrisvians Isere would be no light bread, and there is no light broad in heaven. Thus you see branding us not Christians but rather Della. I think it w. uld be well if this gond brother w•.uld ponder a Utile before delivering his orations. Were he a real Rood Chrietia-, he would not sell his garden fruit and deliver far inferior snmp!e than he sole. WILLIAM YOUNG GUN CL[JB SHOOTING MATCH.
