We- have pleasure iu be speaking fer> than* a foil roeasure of the generous pjttroango bestowed ujvon ua during .the past years^with considerable addition thereto. In taking leave bf oar readers, we do so with a considerable cW* gree of reluctance. While the editorial columns have not been as full as they ought to"have been, and nanny local matters have un doubtedly been overlooked or neg lected for want of personal atten tion, we don't know of anything to regret having said or done, or of having admitted into the Free1 Press anything which ought npt to hare been admitted. If careful su- .pervisiou over e*ery paragraph, and constant anxiety for the promotion of the test interests of oar locality, be any merit, then wj have noth ing to reproach ourselves villi on that seore. Th.it we haver given offence, to some there can. be bo doubt, Hut we have no apologies to offer.. We don't expect to slip through liis woi Id without of- feadwg people, and we trust we Shall ever have sufficient spirit of independence Lo say and do w hat we believe to~be right, and for the best, interest of the public, without regard to the immediate i Sect upon ourseif.

We have many warm friends in^Aclon and vicinity, who; we believe are sincere in their expression of regret at our intended departure. To our numerous pat- ^ua and well-wh>hers wo hereby tender our sincere thanks for the hearty and generous manner in which they have supported the Fsee Press, through ids infantile days and so materially agisted to maintain its position as a local pajier of so well'guhtaiued reputa tion. We are not in the habit of boasting, but there is one thing we mey be permitted 50 ay on the eve of retirement, that the Free Pkes3 has always been regard ed its an interesting and enter taining local pap#r, the proof being in the fact that fully nine- _tenths of our first subscribers have renewed their subset iptions for the third time, and that neatly-all of them are on the alert to get their copy each week aa Boon as possible after it is pVint.i'd. ~We entertain a hope that our.successora will not only keep up its reputation, but that they will make it a good deal better. They .will have the benefit of our expeiience and counsel to some extent to guide them, and with their ptactical knowledge of the newspaper business, they can scarcely fail to -make it a success, financially and otherwise.

Not ^nly has the number of tho nouuidtc prowlers been largely increased within the past few years, but their character and habits have become more dangerous to society. When cold weather sots in the tramp will be of a bolder and more desperate kind, unless united action is promptly taken betimes by tho .proper authorities1 for tho abate ment of the evil. The enforcement of a law authorizing the apprehen sion of persons not having any visi ble means of support ought to strike the evil at the root. Those who say the\ cannot find work and those who will not work must be provid ed with compulbory employment. The-y must be made to earn thoir living. At present tramps nian?(ige to steal and beg t-nough to support their useless, dangerous Use3.

Extensive Robbery ia George- town. SljO^OO WORTH of jewelry takek. Georgetown, Nov. 26. The town is in a state of excite^' ment over a lobbery committed in Nicholas Armour's jewelry store, on Sunday morning. The robbers stole a quantity of tools from Don ald AlcK.iiinon'8 blacksmith shop, with which they effected an en trance in tbaj-ear of the store. Mr. Armour, expecting something of the kind, as similar attempts were made, last summer, to rob him, erected on a bench opposite the second door, which gives admit tance into the shop where the valu ables are kept, a vice, containing a six. chamber revolver with strings fastened to the door, passing through a pulley, and then hitch ing on the trigger. The revolver would face the heart of any party opening the door. It would appear that the robbers knew of the scheme, causing him to lean to one side, letting the bullet) pass through bis wrist, a quantity of blood being found on the floor, and some on the ^loor, but could be traced no further. The accompanying party bound the wounds with cotton, and proceeded to search the place, re lieving it of 81,500 worth of valu able jewelry. There was placed in a box in the rear, a whiskey bottle containing poison the color of rye, expecting it would be taken by robbers, they found the box was broken open, but the poison was not touchedi Several other plans in operation had no .effect.

Of course tu> American People do not want tio have another war on tDeir bands, even with so insigntficent a power as Mexico.

Some months ago some enterprising mer chant of Seafortb took into bis head to ship a quantity of dried apples to one of^the West India Itlandu. Unfortunately no direc" tions as to use accompanied the consignment, and the natives of the island, who were revelling in oranges,pineapples^ami a thousand other tropical proidnctions, didn't take kindly to the Northern fruit. Had they been the right ahape they might hare been sold for corks, but no use was found for them and they were accordingly shipped back to Seufortb, the owner paying all the expenses and freight both way- 1 An exchange tellingly puts it in this way : " Underrate every present and prospective enterprise^ speak ill of the churches' and schools ; tell everybody the hotels are bad ; enlarge the vices of the people, especially tbe young people , withhold the patronage from your merchants and tradesmen, and boy your goods* and groceries at some other place ; never subscribe for the local paprrs, and if you aie in bNainrss teftise to advertise, if you wish to kill a town." , A CROWDED STOEl Immerse Sales of SILKS AND DRESS GOODS AT THE FASHIONABLE WEST END, -600 to 700 Yards SELLING DAILY.

K Well, are we to abolish tbe grand jury tystein or retain it? The arguments iu favor of retaining it are not veiy numerous, and .we think it may safely be said, not verv strdng. That it is an ancient ami honorable institution, and that it has been a great safe-guard to the snbji-ct in times when tbe Crown was disposed to carry things with a high h,and, is admitted. But, this is a practical age, and we must keep our institutions abreast with the spirit of it. Look at the trouble and expense of maintaining the grand jury, and the poor results we get in return.

'In the case of .Wil liams, tho Weston murderer, it is understood that the law will be al lowed to take its course. The Canada Gazette of this week will contain a proclamation granting amnesty and pardon to W. B. O'Donoghue, of Manitoba, on the same terms as thoso already extended to Riel and Lepino. It is understood that so long ago as tbe 20th September the Govern ment at Ottawa passed an Order in Council placing O'Donoghue on the same footing as the other "North-west offenders, and their policy in this regard has been ap proved ofby the Iinporial Govern ment, before the police magistrates, it will hardly be contended that tbe liberty of an accused person is more likely to be protected when his case is submitted to a juty of twenty- four men who know nothing about law, and who have heard only one side of tbe case, than when submit ted to a magistrate who has made the law a profession, and who has hcaid both sidi-s of the case. We understand that East Flumboro' township^ had rather a singular elopemeat lately, a mar ried'man named James Wheeler, about sixty yeaia of , age, having gone off for parts unknown with a young woman named English, about twenty years of age.
