A lawyer will give you five minutes' advice on a topic and clmrge you $5 for -it. An editor will t^ive you advice on a liimdred topics and < charge you 5 cents a copj' for his paper. -Vnd very often 5 cents given to an ed- itor would save S.*) given to a lawyer. In fact no other Imsiness men are so universally robbed and swindled out of their labor and capital as the country newspaper publisher. â€" -V. Y. Sun. In our story columns last week ap- pear'id a short sketch titled ".\ Back- woods Story, " the scenes and incidents I'ouni'i'lod therewith being laid iu the ii('i;;liljorin){ towuships of KuphraKiaand C<illin;;wood. Since the ajipearance of the story in the Mirror wo have been creditably informed that it is the pro- duction of Mr. A. K. Fawcctt, the editor anil [iroprietor of the Flesherton Ad- vance. Such being the case wo desire tu acknowledge our indebtedness to that' gentleman, and also to compliment him on lii^ g.bility as a delineator of pioneer life and chnracter. The story, we are informed, was written tor "Forest and Farm," in which journal it (irbt appear- ed, and from which it has been copied into nearly all the papers iu Ontario. . Wo trust this apology may bo satisfac- tory to that journal as well as the auth- or. â€" ifaifiinl Mlrritr. Thanks, brother, for the correction ; also for your genur- ons criticism of our humble effort in tho line of story-writing. EnKlish Church Service. To the Editor uf The Adnmee.
