He says that iu re reading Uint I'orujii of his let tar which coiiiained tl:c term "traitor" that it was ''In- tended t.o apply to any person. Here ul8 to iuterprvt his own letter. How could the last act of his munici- pal life apply to any person but au ex-conncilloi of the past year? Ah. youug Jacob is altogether too sh;ir[< for old 1. -tune ! He made a Je8| effort to extricate Inmielf b it is get ting deeper m the mire as lie ad- vanct's. He also insinuate-) that 1 solicited the suffrage* of the elector- ate on doubtful lines. Tbat is a false- hood, and 1 defy him to give one in- stance. It is singular that one of the electors should raise any oujec lion when the candidates thetuaelve* were- pleased to know that the cam- paign was conducted so honorably. "Of course the candidates were all gentlemen." The very idea of W. S. Chrtstoe accusing any man ot cau- vassii-g on lioniitfiil lines and statin;; be never did so ! How preposterous' How did he get the position iu the first place '.' My usurpation. How has he held it up until he resigned ? By not leaving a -tone unturned, re- gardless of principle. I am iu poses sinn of a copy of one of In* campaign letters wlich would make a person with an ounce of self respect blush with shame to have 'o father it. Hi.* comment ou Mr. Richardson was 1111 called for iu replying to me. Mr. K. is au acknowledged gentleman, and has prove 1 himself as such, and a* such I treated him during theumnici pal campaign and received the sa:ue treatment from him in return. I no- tice also that \V. S. Ghristoe when lie is old aud strickeu in years has be- come fatuous iu the production oi twins. I saw by The Advance of last Oct. tbat he hud brought forth a pair of bouuciog boys, and last week lie brought forth another pair of sons. Any oue of them is head and should- ers above their father. If this was a reality he might justly feel proud. No doubt he would receive congratu- lations from all aides, but strange to say those worthy son* ignore th re- laMonship, deny the affinity aud con- sider it beneath their dignity to call him papa. Hut it is not a reality and it is well ordered so, for oue Chrigtoc in the history of a township is calami- tous. Now, I challenge W. S. Chris- toe to point and prove one instance where I lacked ability or oue instance where I acted dishonorable, either iu the election of deputy retves or in any other particular during my luuricipal career. Let him accept this challenge if he dare, aud cease his misrepresent iug, misleading insinuations which be has practised no long that it has be- come part and oarcel of his nature, to the rn'.itv ex- lusion of qualities and which arc only found ii to which ho is au uttu r itmngMr. To tins article I will subscribe a the base insinuations \Y.

The township ia satisfied with its nt treasurer, who lima served the public faithfully and honestly, and held Lis reputation beyond question for a number of years, and it i.s not necessary now that a red line should be drawn through good figures to ,'ia: it'v a.i .id Ulan iu Ins second do- ta^i-. who sees lit to act as a party bUndfibuii. Aud if the Dr. thinks il-at there is uot a farmer in tin; -ip .n. ih i|iial.:ied and popular enough to till the reeve 9 chair, ho id badly deluded. It was uot the l'r~. mtl'i.-nce nor the present reeve's popularity that caused him to be elected. The oppo- sition killed themselves. Had r.ol-i.-nl and McArtlr.u- lut't the field to Wright and worked tor him, he would | iiave been elected by a large majority, i or, if vV'rieht aud McArthur had left , tiie tifld to Holand and worked for him. lie would have been elected by a Ur-,"' majority. The lints are getting loyal, Mr. Kditor. On Suuday, May 24th, Mr*. Goo. llu'clunsoii presented her liege j lord with a "baby boy. " Mrs. John Kuddick. who has suf- fered stverly for the past few months with a cancer, ia sufficiently recovered to be able to be around a^ain. The cancer was removed by a salve until.' for that purpose, aud though very painful, we understand that the operation was most successful. Mr. John Spicu , of Ditndulk. is busily engaged with the stone work of Mr. Christy Johnston s barn. We loii'l understand what the township of Ospnty is thinking about in the Town Hall matter. Osprey township should ha\u its Town Hall, and it should be situated as near ih centre of the township ao possible, and then t he electors woiilil know where to meet the township fathers aud the township fathers would likely know where to tind their books on the days that the council meets. They would uot be like the Egyptian gods, carried from place to place to suit the wor shipper. Mr. Matthew Leech, our popular harness maker, is doing a rattling business in that liue. Miss K. Johustoa is still iu the hands of thu rheumatism. The horse distemper that has been very prevalent in this locality recently, has been a very severe type, anil has takeu some nue animals as its prey. Mrs. Sandy Acheson, who has been suffering with lagrippe, has recovered. loo much fine weather without Hue rain makes the farmers some- Personally w.iat gloomy, but we trust that rain spec-lion will come ere this appears iu print.
