CLINTON o - - N' ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR McGARVA. -r Writing from Port Haney, B. C., under date of Aug. 5,. Mr J. MCGtarv9. says:—"Last Monday I went to see the fish canneries at work in Steveston, a town of 4000 people, composed of In- dians, Chinese, Japs, &c., engaged mostly in the canneries and at fishing. There is a large fleet of boats licensed 'for fishing salmon, something over 3300. Steveston is situated on Lulu Island at the mouth of the Fraser, where it empties into the gulf of Geor- gia. The fishing boats could be seen busy at work in the river and out in the gulf, some hauling in their nets and others with sail set returning to make another drift, that is to come back to the river, cast out the net and drift into the gulf. This contin'ites day and night, excepting from six on Sat- urday morning until six on Sunday evening, to give the fish a chance to go up the rivet to the spawn and the canneries to clean up the catch of the week. This morning the fish of last night's catch at Port Haney, about 1000 or 1100, was sent down to the canneries. Mr Thos. Calbick went with me to several of the canneries, but we only went into two that were just finishing the nay's work at 5.30 p.m. The most of them are idle. An English syndicate bought out a num- ber about three years ago and only run those they consider the best equip- ped. After spending a pleasant even- ing with Mr and Mrs Calbick, I took the steamer Edgar for Westminster on Tuesday 6.30 a. in. On landing there, Mr Geo. Calbick was at the wharf with a horse and buggy ready to drive me around to the places of interest in the city, and landing me finally in the Provincial gaol. He has under his watchful eye fifty-two male prisoners, (at present there are no females in the gaol.) It was the dinner hour and the food served out to them was good and enough for a substantial meal, consist- * ing of beef, potatoes and bread. Ev- ery prisoner has to take his bath once a week in a bathroom, in which are three or four bath tubs. The prisoners do all the work tbat requires to he done, such as washing, scrubbing, bak- ing, cooking, making and mending clothes, &c. After leaving the gaol Mr Calbick took nae to his house, where I Was introduced to Mrs Calbick and her sister, Miss Gipson, who was in Clinton visiting at the time Mrs Cal - hick, sr., was on her deathbed. After dining with Mr Calbick and his family he drove me to_a dry goods store where I made some purchases and bade him good bye. On the delta of the Fraser are some large ranches, on which hay, oats and peas are grown. Wheat does not grow well, as the cli- mate is too damp and the berry soft, only flt for chicken feed. Hay is the principal crop, yielding four tons per acre. tr ,.v ..'l-.. • ROBERT HOLMES, Editor and Proprietor.

Adjourned to meet last Monday in August.—NIXON STURLY, Clerk. Goderich. DEATH.—The Daily Signal has ceased to issue. We regret it, for it was an attractive little sheet, and helped the editor to give the country, and especi- ally the town, a very newsy weekly. "Dan" has shown ns the kind of a weekly he can put out if he tiles. We are sorry our editors do not get more advertisements, the town is hurt by the lack of add's. People prefer find- ing out prices before going to a store. Most of our store keepers look quite insulted if you price and do not buy.

Andrews, died at the parsonage on Monday morning. The remains were taken to Belleville for interment, on Tuesday moruing, Rev G. W. An- drews accompanying thein. Much sympathy is felt for the family. RSHE WAS HONEST.—While coming out on the train to attend a union R. T. of T. picnic on the "Woodlands," Miss Tillie Tebbutt, of Clinton, acci- dentally left her pocket hook, contain- ing a considerable sum of money in the seat of the coach. Through the honesty of a fellow passenger seated behind her. the pocket book was re- stored. The railway officials were very obliging in helping to recover this missing article•promptly. MISLEADING:.—In the report of the Entrance and P. S. Leaving Exams. last week, we notice that Bayfield school claims the credit of having made the highest standing in West Huron, the pupil having made 682 marks. Now we have better than that. Alburn Murch made 723 marks, while Bertie Stanley made 800 marks. This is not yet the highest in West Huron Huron inspectorate. SPORTS.—A number of our local sports took in the garden party at Var- na last Thursday evening. They re- port having a good time, as is usual when you go to Varna. All went fair ously until by the rustle of the leaves they knew it was raining; Tom said it came down in torrents. One of them said when /(t) rains so hard now it, is likely to •keep it up for weeks. They feared that if the rain continued the Roods would necessitate their taking one lees home. Between their naps on the way home, one of the boys was heard to say Varna is the bast place to get the worth of rn'cash. DAY'S OUTING.—On Thursday last the Woodland grove was again en- livened with a jolly crowd of Royal Templars, who were celebrating a union picnic composed of the Councils of Goderich, Clinton, Varna, and, last, but not least, Holmesville. It was a grand success. We wish your Bruce - field correspondent could have been present to witness such scenes as conid hardly be realized except by cultivated vision and tender insight for the poetic. He would need to bring truer eyes than those misted, goggled, skummy, ox -holes, that could only see half -a - dozens houses in our city.. The river, which can he seen for nearly a mile, as it flows forward, now bathing the banks .w tla:its. c ystal freshness, and then sweeping down to he d'aeiieciato silvery lightness, when its ponderous volume of seething foam and rippling splendor strikes—strikes, yes, a pity something wouldn't strike the Bruce - field correspondent as to the absurdity of comparing such duck -pond watering places as Brucefleld with onr famous Maitland, with its beautiful green slopes and wooded banks.
