TEA TBAHIPS. 'The public would do well to giye Ilea pedlars, as well as all Buch petty dealers, a wide berth, borne of those who have been operadng in the tea business in this place are now endea- voring to force payment for goods which were never ordered or received We think citizens should patronize those in our midst who are doing a legitimate business, in preference to bmooth tongued agents of whatever department they may represent. We Relieve in citizens supporting each •other and patronizing home, at least «o long as they are fairly dealt with. We might here complain somewhat in the printing line as one of our merchants have been having printing done in Toronto. In fact, thev say by their actions, that a paper pubUshed in the place is no benefit whatever. Now, if we wished to retaliate, we could readily secure Toronto adver- tisements, which would doubtless have the effect of many purchases being made in Toronto which are now made in Markdale, but we do not believe in the principle of rendering evil for eyil and ivill not practice it, but would earnestly recommend the public to patronize home and we have no fear as to the result. THE council. JHIiVrTES. In reference to a communication in another column from the Eeeve of Artemesia, we would beg to inform liirn that there has been a material advaucemeut in the times since the days referred to when editors were under the necessity of searching coun- oil minute books, and many similar modes of securing matter to fill their paper. ne of the most difficult mat- ters we have to contend with in the present age is the condensing or "boil- ing down " process in order to give as much information as possible in a given space. UsefuU and interesting news are abundant, and the means of collecting it equally ample, so that we could easily fill double the space at cur disposal, but tnenthe boot would pinch in another quarter. Country editors know well that the subscrip- tion alone does not pay more than two thirds of the cost of the paper, subscribers perhaps think this im- possible, it is nevertheless true, hence the necessity of economizing in re- gard to the expense of collecting ne- cessary and desirable information. We consider however the publisher does his duty when he publishes the minutes of a council from year to year fre" thereby, in some instances at least, saving the municipality $25 or upwards for publishing the same mat- ter once a year m pamphlet form. We can scarcely believe however that the Reeve of Artemesia is sincere in his stated opinion that it is the duty of editors to secure such matter at their own expense, but mtrely gives it for the sake of argument. So mote it be. FE9IAL,E FRANCHISE. A deputation from the Canada Woijian's Suffrage Association watted on the Toronto eity eoanoil on Mon- day evening last with the object of getting its support to their petition to be shortly presented to the Ontario Legislature for the extension of the municipal and parlimeutarj franchise to women. The deputation was composed of Mrs. Mc- Ewaii, Presiclent of tlie a jsociation, Mrs. Mo- ilaster, Afrs. T. B. Wylie, Mrs. W. I. Mao- iienzie. Mrs. Adam Miller, Dr. Emily, H. Btoww, MiH MdfMter, Mrs. Kerr, wd Un. W. B. HanriHoa. At tiie present time women who •re poflseaaed of ijroperty soffieieafc to enttde wum, to Tote are diafiranehiBed •ad their property, thoagh taxed, is not lepreMntod. The following reso- Intion WM pnt and carried by ao to 6 TU Baeolved, that in the opinion of this eoon- efl the manifiiiwl and parliamedtary fran- ehise shoold be extended to women who poe- â- ess the qoalifications which entitle men to Tote, and that His Worship the Mayor be re- qnested on bdiall of this eotmeil to sign the petition now being prepared to be presented t« the Legislatnre at its next session.' @arir MEMABKAB£.E COINCID- ENCE. The editor of the Flesherton Ad- vance treats its readers to halt a colnm last week nnder the above heading. Oor Osprey correspondent being also a correspondent to the Meaford Mir- ror gives the report of the agricul- tural show in Singhamptou, in some- what similar language to both papers, and the editor of the Advance thinks it worthy of a half column notice. We think it no more strange, however, than the Toronto boot black charging extra for cleaning those "mud scows from the North." Not a bit. ON THE WING. We had a pleasant drive through the township of Osprey on Friday last and found harvesting operations about wound up. Several steam threshers are at work, and. from what we could learn the yield will be fully up to the average but the quality of wheat sadly deficient. This will have the effect of greatly reducing the return in cash in this particular kind of gram, yet on the whole the results of the year's operations will not be far, if any, be- low the average. Very little fail work is done, owing in a great measure to the lateness of the harvest. We nev- er saw the roads better than they were last week the gravel through the township is an excellent road. Seldom do we come across a country hotel as orderly and neatly kept as J. Allison's, at Maxwell. The table also IS kept considerably above the average. There is likely to be con- siderable interest taken in the com- ing municipal election. There's plenty of time yet, however. N«mc».â€" We wish it diBtinotlyjoadjrrtooJ fli we do not lK»»d oowd res r«^«rfM« for Se opinions expwwwd by o'"^f ;;fgg;ggr Mx. BwioB,â€" Yonr coireepoodent, X. Y. Z., and your own lerawrks re- terding the publication of the- pro- eeedingsof the council stutgesfc tbe following remarks:â€" I agree thoroughly with youreell, that the township clerk is the worst pAid office belong to the mumcipahty, and that the relations and operatiwis to meet the governmental require- ments depend more on him than the council, and therefore every person w not qualified for the position, bnt hav- ing one he should be paid proportion- ately to his responsibility. Some years ago it was made imperative by resolution for the clerk to famish the newspapers, two or three of them, your own included, with those minutes and this has not been recinded. But it always seemed to be a resolution out of harmony with justiee, and it was allowed to take care of itself. One is struck with the alleged im- portance of such printing by the re- marks of X. Y. Z. They, however, loose much of their importance, when it becomes known, that any ratepayer has access to the clerk's office, and can investigate the minute book at pleasure, but notwithstanding, I be- lieve with both, it would be very de- sirable to have them printed in the local papers, now I take it foe grant- ed that the majority of readers espe- cially local readers, estimate tbe minutes, among the most important news items, if correct, does it not ap- pear for their sakes that the duty should devolve on editors to copy or obtain the copy of them Is it not worth something to the proprietors to keep up the popularity of their papers? and consequently with the trouble either to copy or arrange for the ob- taining such copies, independently of the council or clerk I cannot see any propriety for councila, to volup- tarily arrange, to parade their mwo misdeeds before a critical public, their condemnation will coiBB soon en- ough, especially if editors do as was the custom in those parts where I formerly resided, viz copy the minu- tes themselves and who were al- ways glad to get a plenty of such work to do. Another suggestion is this, most papers have local correspondents, would it not be a pleasure of duty performed, if such correspondents, for the week in which the council met, substitute their usual quota of ordinary news, for the minutes of the council, it would meet the case for all parties.

All letters, of whatever nature, save to the people who are so closely allied to use that we can think aloud to than, should be written with a certain amount of considera- tion.

Those who have tried say most em- phatically that tliey have been badly bitten. No wonder. The thing is not on a business basis, and bears absur- dity on its very face. The best pro" vision for marriage which young people can make is that which comes from saving, economical habits, with the steady avoidalnce of whiskey, tobacco and alt other iniquities. If anybody thinks that a society is going to give him a hundred dollars on the payment of five, he is quite too awfully simple for this world, and should make off as speedily as possible to more Arca- dian scenes, â€" Truth says â€" Is may well be doubted it there is any very effusive loyalty in Canada. To judge by the expressions of the daily papers, there is no great regret felt at the departure of the Marquis and the Princeso, and very little enthusiasm over his suoces- Bor. Tbe truth of the matter is, that these big wigs feel their stay among us a kind of exUe. Canadians know that they feel in this way, and there cannot, therefure, in the nature of thiDiTs, m i-nch affection or real re- gard eitlif^r on one side or the other.

Death of Rev. lUatthcw Riehejr, a lÂ¥ell-known IVIetbocUat. Halifax, Oct. 24.â€" Rev. Matthew Eichey, D. D.. father ot the lieuten ant-governor of Nova Scotia, is dead. He was in his 81 st year.

Unless one accustomes themselves habi- tually to the use of the pen it is sometimes a diflScult matter to brinjf one's self to the actual task of writing a letter. Not but that there is something to say, bnt the putting the thought into language, and this language upon paper is not the easy thing which at first sight it may appear to be. And all too frequently abseai friends are neglected from the sheer laziness of the person who oucht to send them a lettei. Yet who that has ever waited long and anxiously for tidings from some loved one and fretted and worried because they did not write, hut can appreciate the value of a letter even if it be the merest scrawl so far as pen- manship is concejned. The welcome news 18 in it, and the mind set at rest from ita vague conjectunngs. in these days of cheap postage and readr maQs, It 18 generally not from lack of cppor- tunity of knowing that distant ones are left m Ignorance of even matters of detail as" re- gards the lives and well beim; of those dear to them. And in no way except by frequent end minute descriptions by means of letter writing can tne bonds of sympathy be well cemented between absent ones and those leftbehmd. Interests and feelings alwava prove to seek the present, and tangibal ratlir than the distant and vague will so absorb ones time and attention, that very dear ones far away will leceive but small share of even the thought they would were th^ dailv hues made clear one to the other bv meM. of fiequent letter-writing.
