embarrassment, by no means pocu-
liarity incident TO superficial towns.
The book store item, we leave to the
kindly consideration of our friend
Tom. Doughty, who maintains posi-
ton of EARNED neutrality" on all
points, and win doubtless be willing
to compare stocks with this Goderich
Stationer.
As to the drawbacks" the malari-
Gus peculiarities Of the locality are
ludicrously overdrawn, the ninety-nine
others, in the form Of drinking sa-
looms, having never been inventor
led before this latest chronicler as
sumed the task, we cannot question
the accuracy of his statements.
THE WAR,
as far as Saginaw is concerned, might
be in China, in so far as visitor could
discover. In fact, nobody seems to
trouble his head about the matter at
all. One would hear more discussion
in Goderich on the subject in one eve-
ming than over there in one month. -
We witnessed an instance of the lucid
opinions formed by the working class
es with RECORD to military movements.
We have been CHANGING over a late
Detroit paper, when tall, slim man
asked for the news. Morgan's de-
feated,' was the answer Il swan,
said the tall one, that's curious, l had
letter from my brother and he told
me the volunteers of Pennsylvania
was all called out to assist Morgan
He hadn't oughter been whipped
At Saginaw City we saw an American
flag trying to float in the hot, insult
ferably hot breeze, board barrack,
and hand bill announcing that the
Union must be preserved, i'll order to
which regiment was being got up by
Col. Somebody, and young men were
to rally, rally.
HoMEwARp BOUND.
Having swallowed hasty dinner
at Bay City, and shaken hands with
number Of newly-made acquaintances
we started for home at one o'clock on
Thursday, glad to escape from the
dust and heat and breathe once more
the pure air, one of Heavens best
gifts. And here let us say parting
word about the steamer Huron. She
is q staunch lake boat, and owned and
commanded by Capt. Cole, who has
sailed Lake Huron since 1886, and is
good fellow in every sense of the
word. The officers of the boat are
remarkably attentive to the wants OF
passengers, who are made to feel that
nothing is wanting that can contribute
their comfort. We can heartily re-
commend the line to any person hav-
ing business to transact in Saginaw,
and to those Of our neighbors across
the lake who wish to seek recreation
and health in Goderich, which is, we
believe, the finest watering place in
Upper Canada. To Capt. Cole and
purser, Mr.. Wilson, we desire to ten
der our sincere thanks for the large
amount contributed by them to the
pleasures connected with the trip.
On our way out we passed or met
a large number of vessels of various
kinds, all evidently endeavoring to
make the best possible use of rising
freights and short summer.
APRIL AND DECEMBER.
A newly married couple, it is said,
brings good luck to the vessel carry
ing the happy creatures. No wonder
the Lake was calm as mirror on
Thursday night, for we had on board
q young Saginitc about 50 years Of
age, who had just started in life with
a wife who had arrived at the mature
age Of 'sweet sixteen" We could
hardly accout for the ill-concealed gig
gle that went around when the old
gent and his pretty young bride, ven-
tured on deck. The bridegroom re-
mined us strongly of the pictures of
cold Abe"
After all, when we touched British
soil early on Friday morning, we felt
like shaking hands with Goderich.-
Here, thank Providence, we can drink
in pure air and pure water, and if we
cannot make money SO fast, we can at
least enjoy life, and show as bright a
crowd of blithesome, ruddy lads and
lasses as any place of the same size
on the continent, while our yeoman-
ry in virtue and intelligence is not sur
passed by that of any other country
Ye, we can truly say,
"Canada, our home we love thee still ~
Our Canadian friend must have
fallen among queer associates, as his
notes under thehead of "war' attest,
but ne has ninety-nine good excuses
for all such nonsense, and we pass it
by without comment, as our readers
doubtless will, with many an audible
smile. "April and December" is prob
ably fancy sketch, which some may
comprehend. 1t being his especial
delight to love Canada STILL" it is to
all appearances likely to remain 'still'
unhl he has an opportunity to indulge
in that undemonstrative passion to
his hearts content.
