Whén newspaper men undertake "the Sianghter system they make fear: "ful havoo, selling under eost is noth- ing fo their handling The Globe leads oft with the * Nickel" inducement.-- "We remember a party. who slipped around some of the more noisy and disputable streets of Glasgow, Scot- 180d; felling books of a more than aoubtful reputation; he carried some of the books in one hand and some gtraw in the other and went round these strects at night shouting "I dare not sell my books, nor I will not sell my books but, I will sell you a straw and give yous book inthe bargain," snd when parties bought a straw they gola book in a present. themselves with Pewter toys, have in- vested on a treatise on the horse and. this they sell at whatever they can get for it and give their journalin the bargain. D'arties who give a dol- lar for the ** horse book" get the paper for & year and four months for noth- ing. If the white paper is good for anything the ink and labor must be thrown in. Buch slaughtering is a ridiculous burlesque, the public don' wapt .your horse treatises or Nicke indueéments, neither do shey want to squesge:the printer beyond endurance. It is, little. wonder that' within the pole eliink ranks are to be found specimens of the most abject cringing, eomtemptibly mean, typical reptpséniakives of 'the genus beggar, whole hails Are everlastingly in hand, theirhearts in their mouths and a tear in their eyes begging for God sake, that delinquents may hand in Bo the Globe men while they dare sell their Globes but cannot sell all they want offer to sell $8.50 worth of Nickel and give a year's Globes im the bargain, The lesser lights following the example of the Globe but not being able to stock Ah rocoguiand Sh Jordship's right The cases of young Nolan, a Jud wade 15 Youry, and Cleary, Ross ounge: xe iftle Joss made a regular practice of tastening | perty logs to the legs of the inmates as well girls as boys, making them work by day and with-the ever- lasting logs hanging to their legs ; the Togs wore fastened by o hain wld aa. look of which his reverence carried, the key.

Be that as:it may a facility in forget- ing benéfita-veceivedl is discroditable alike to individuals and 'communities. Such however has never 'been a charaoteristio of the people of North Outario; they may sometimes appear wardy in their recognition of eotial claims but they seldom™let such pass without due recogaition. = Sheriff Paxton is a case in point, reared within the riding trom youth, in- timately identified with tbe people in their straggle tor social, finuncial, commerical and manufacturing pro- gress, he went hand in hand with the formost rank 'iw' the onward march which bas certainly been .s most successful one." In "process of time Mr Paxton is promoted to the honorable and . respecied - - posi- tion of Sheriff of this fair and prosperous county and consequently had to take up. bis residence in South. Ontario, All felt 'that the time of Mr Paxton's promotion and removal from the riding was a suit. able occasion on which to manifest public} appreciation of _his many good qualities 'and the, public only waited for 3 suitable occasion for such a manifestation as the circum- stances called for. It js pow ad- mitted by all that the prosent iss most favorable time for offering Sheriff Paxton some public testi- monial in acknowledgment of Lhe high esteem in which he is held by sdiserning public. With a view to the, accomplishment of so desir- able an object an active and efficient committee has been appointed to put the matter in proper shape and secure its accomplishment at as early a date as possible. re ee A Ohange of Programme.

Let there be a cheap shroud and ' no flowers. What is a dead wan but 8 handtdl ot dust? Tnstead of a hearge I may just as well be carried to the grave upon some ordinary vohicle in every day use." We wonder if George ever heard of that eastern, sactimonious, ever- lastingly - weeping, constitutionally chief mourner of an undertaker who is not satisfied with cheating the corpses and skinning the relatives by shamelessly overcharging for coffins and trimmings but tries to cover np his rascalities by pretending to furnish Funeral Cards free of charge. When- ever any such moaning simperer makes his woe-begone, hypocritical proposi- tion to furnish Cards free of cost or otherwise, let the customer twig the fraud, take five or ten dollars off the charge for coffin, &c., and go himself and. get Cards for one dollar or so.-- The sneak has shameless profits with out charging three or four prices for Cards while pretending to give them for nothing. ---- Too Thick. We remember attending an auc- tion sale on 'one occasion ; the auc- lioneer was, unfortunately for the party whose property he was selling, profoundly ignorant of bis business and knew nothing of the quality or value of the stock he was selling. -- But what he lacked in knowledge he endeavored to make up in noise and bluster, the farmers around were all laughing heartily ; the simpleton did not know they were laughing at bim * and stupidly supposed they were laaghing at bis display of eloquence; this only cansed him to make a still greater fool of himself. The. 'next article brought out was a good looking young bull ; the age- tioneer looked all over il, rouhd it and under it, attempted to raise its foot as be would that of a horse bat ot floored in the attempt, when gathering himself up as best be conld he gazed around upon the con- vnleed crowd, and says, "Gentlemen, you need not laugh for I bave 8 thing bére to offer which all of yon should buy it is a fine, thorough-bred grade 'male cow." | had. almost ssid this 'brought down that for we were oateide, but it was |some time "before voice could be hieard | -- roars of Georgina, Thorah, Ho North Gwillimsbury.

The quoiting tournament held at Toronto week before last was a spirit-- ed, interesting, affair, brought many fine 'pitchers together and large crowds of the admirers of the try | manly and scientificgame who gathered around as interested witnesses of the sport. Handsome trophies were com: peted for; a vauable gold medal and the championship of the province were the inducements in the light weights, and the éhampionship and -a fine gold medal were the inducementsin the in the heavy weights. The former was won by Mr. James McTague, of Galt, 'and the latter by Mr, George Walkinshaw. What has become of our quoiters ? we lave lots of good ones. Cannot there be a quoiting tournament got up in this locality?

Open the Ranks. It is with much pleasure that our mercantile force opens ranks to admit a new, energetic, and thoroughly equipped firm to enter the business arens. Messrs, Curls & Henderson have gone into partnership for the purpose of carrying on a general Pro- duce. and Seed business in all its branches. The new firm require no recommendation at our hands, both its members are well and favorably known by this entire community as active thoroughly reliable business men possessed of abundance of ineans ;- but their manner of doing business whieh will doudtless be both energetic and straight forward will prove their chief claim to * 'patronage.-- See them in their place of business one door east of the Walker House.-- Advertisement too late for this i issue, will appear in onr next.
