EDITOR STA'rEsMAN.-It may not Iha k nown to you that Goderich is one of th e very pretti e s t towns in Canada . lt is sit uat ed on a high ground close to tho lake and front i ng a. be autiful little bay a.t t h e mouth. of the Maitland River. The to wn is la id out on a unique and beauti ful plan, b ein g built in t he form ot a circle of which the c ount y court house is the centre·, surrounded by" large square on which most of the stores f ac e. '.l'his square (excepting t h e roadway) is l a id out as a park with beautiful orna.mei.tal trees, e h r nbs, etc., with gravel walks and numerous seats. The ordinary streets of the town are almost all adorn ed with rows of trees and instead of wooden aide walks we have gravel walks, ex ce pt on the square. The town is m uch rosort!ld to every summer by invalids and others who besides a pure and he a.lthful atmos · phere, have also the pririloge of m ineral water and saline baths . 1f any of your r ead ers want a q ui et and pleas11nt retreat for a. ti m e in t he summer, you could uob do better than recommend them to v i sit Goderich or Poi n t l<arm Hotel , 4 miles down the shore. You ha ve probably seen throug h the papers also, that we e.re about to have w ater - wo r k s, electric ligh ts and an exhibition p ar k. My present reason for wtiting was to take a dva.nt age of your very liberal offer of the STA'l'ESMAN to the end of the year for 30 cen ts . You cer t ainl y turn out one of the best local pa.ers I k now of, and each copy ia as good as a let t er from homo. Y o ur s tr ul y, Temperance Resolutions.
