PETS. call. Mossra. .1. Gordon Mowat and Ilobort Cilray will be i)lca8«d to luaru tliiit tho Tliornbury Standard does not considur tlieni a "|)air of blathenskitod." This will act likobiUia ujion tin- auvuro wcjunds in- flicted by tlu'ir brotlicr iiolitician, thu edi- tor of the Orangovillo .\dvertiaor. Tl)e twin politicians will dance for joy and c.ill uixiii tlio gods to blcia I'ro. Farewell for comini^ to their rescue so opportunely. 15ut, ala.i ! there are <jther witnesses bc- ttide the editor of the Advertiser, and t hesu corroborate the Htateiiienta of the latter in every particular. They point ( ut, l>esides, in ein|iliatic terms, that tlie '•political pets'' worked tlio Scott Act racl.ct fur all it wils worth durini,' the I)o. nimion electionsâ€" distinctly and unre- bervedly telling Temperance people that they were with theiii in the {^reat question of moral reform, of which the Scott .\ct vv.ui a forerunner. Here in Fleshertou (idniy certainly left the impression that he was an out-and (mt Teui|)erunco man. We have good reason t<j remember this latter fact, as several ({ood Total Absti- nence Reformers came to us and gently hinted that it was our duty, as a cham- pion of Temperance, to support (iilray's candidature in East Grey ! A few month's later we lind the precious pair -- (idray A .Mowat â€" flghtiiiji; the battles of the Licensed Victuallers in Dutierin ! \Vliat a pretty pair of canting humbuiis they are to be sure -Mr. Uobt Myles â- â€¢md the Tliornlmry Standard to tho con- trary notwithstandin'.;. Uut tho Standanl's defence i>f Muwat t\; tiilray, -or Gilniy i jMowat, it doesn't matter which way you reail their nanies â€" i.s not half so gloriously lidiculous, as the statement that it was owini; to the .t] I'eches nindc by .Messr.s. <!ilray, Mowat and Myli^s that the Scott .\ct was repi;di(l ill Halton ! In leality, siiys the Stand anl, Uiey "diij all the ti^hliiii; in this <J"unty (Halton) ami were nppoyed by the ^i<:at Sam lllake and about forty minis- ttis of the (iospel. " The (ilobe. Mail, Kijpire, World, and all the othi'r papers liiivu been ransarkini; their brains for < iinses to which to guicrilM! the defeat of 111 ' Scott .-\ct in Halton, and after all it ii'iiiains for Ji rural newspa|ier to enlii;ht- ei. the public as to the "real" cause ! • i.lray, Mowat and Myles did the busi- ness, and till! Thoniliuiy Standanl wa.s th'^ tirst to discover and publish the a.^- tonlsliin)^ circumstance ! Wo were not aware, until we read it in the Standard, that Mr. Myles lussi.sted the pet politicniiis in their iickrobatic per- lorniances in tlie interests of the Anti Scotts. Itut it is not at all surpri.iini; a kindred bond unites the trio : Myles was defcatetl thrice in Kaat <irey puiliament- .iry conte.st.s, (iilray onci', ami .Muwat well, he may m'.* a chance to "win"deb!at some day, too ! The Durham Chronicle issued a supple- Oient week before last which contained an article relloctnii,' very severely upon people of tho lioniaij Catholic persuasion. It was full of rantini; rubbish, such as no intelligent I'rotestant would care to pub- lish above his own name. Of course tho ("hronicle ]iublished it in avjiplmunt form for reasons very readily understood. Amonust other things, "Hard-to-Holl" â€" the defender of the Hadgcros outrage in a recent issue of the Dundalk Herald â€" threatened to "straighten" another writer, because the latter ventured to ex- press his righteous indignation concerning the "eviction." When it cumes to threat- ening, wo beg to assure this defender of rutlianisin, that in some parts of the world people h;ive been sun-.niarily dealt with by ".Judge Lytu'li," who were guilty of lesser crimes than those TJadgeros marauders. We merely throw out this hint to show people like "Hard-to-Holl," that they have reason to ^'e tTiankful, that they live in a country where "Judge Lynch" does not "hold court." Mr. Vanzant is not going to remove his marble works from Kleshcrton to Tliornbury, as intimated by the News and enilorsed by the .Markilale Standard. Mr. Vanzant never dreamt of such a thing. He h:is been urged very strongly to start a liraurh of his business in Clarks- burg ; and he has been solicited at the same time, to locate the said branch in Tliornbury. The Ne«s evidently knew all alxmt it ; then why did it not state the simplo f.icts instead of publishing a palpable untruth ? It seeiii:i to come nat- ural to the News to lie occasionally â€" es- pecially when it Inus been hard hit. .Vrchbishop Lynch, the veiiendile pre- late uf the Roman Catholic Church in Ontarii', diid early on S.iturday morning last, in the 7-nd year <f his age. For over a ipiarlir of a ceiitiir)' the name of .Xrchbi.shop Lynch liiw been almost a household word throughout tho banner proviiiie. Now ho is no more. "So earthly glory passes away." JiDITOni.lh A<> TKS. Some follow aniuiid Dundalk. nick- naiiiod "Kggs," threatens to lay in wait for the Editor of the Herald some night and knock his brains out, because the latter 8|)oke in somewhat vigorous laiig- najje concerning somelxidy who fell into the ImkI habit of stealing his (the Editors) Wood. The Herald wonders what "Eggs" will do when lie reads wliatTiiK Ahv.a.m k said alxjut the same mutter. Well, if he lays in wait for the Editor of thi.s paper he will be lalher apt. to lind it an unpro- litable business.

There was not a thousand bushels of corn raised in Ford county last year." VKIIKTAIII.K.S. "Vegetables were also n total fuihire. We have had no iaillsh<\s, beans, iieas, to- niatoes, beets, calibago carrots, nor any- thing in the vegetable line excepting po- tatoes and abiiiit a biisliei of sweet pota- toes. We had good prospects for melons ; had out a large patch, and they were hanging full, nice and btiguâ€" just com mencing to ripen -when a liail-storin cut the melons and vines all to [lieces !
