In a letter received from him last week he duly credits the Uiii'eel States with being "a great and grand country," but at the same time («presses in no uncertain manner his admiration of Canada and the. love. that still warmly burns within his breast for the land of his birth. \Vetake the liberty of quoting from his letter as follows :â€"“I saw your reference in the Chronicle and it seems you imagine I am quite American. Don’t think, dear friend, I am one of that class Who is ashamed to acknowledge and hold up his country. I am still as willing to uphold the old sod as ever, and strong enough to fight the .man, especially these Canadian born adopted sons of America, who are, some of them, only too willing to run down their native country, and try to impress people of their intense loyalty to this country, after a few days residence across the line. I am proud [am a ‘Canuck,’ for they have proved themselves time and again, to be men of nerve and backbone, superior statesmen and warriors. I shall always love and think well of dear old Canada, the land of my youth and forefathers, and also the people there who are second to none on earth. Just let America try to make a state of Canada without her consent and you will see which country I’ll stand by, no matter if I have to walk from bare to the line to join the 3lst Battalion.” With respect to the latter we have no THE Owen Sound Association of Baptist churches meet in Wiarton this week, and the following from the Bap- tist church here are in attendance?- Rev.

Black of this town, and we have pleasure this week in telling our readers that negotiations have been concluded, between Mr. Black and Mr. \Valker, of London, a practical brick- maker who is highly recommended. Operations have already commenced and in the course of a few weeks the first kiln will be ready forsale, and we hope the results will be so satisfactory that many who think of building will find it a great benefit to get brick at home. During the past two years a great many brick have been shipped in at a cost for transportation of a dollar and a half to two, dollars and over, per thousand for railway carriage alone, besides an additional fifty to seventy-five cents for taking them off the car and carting them to the ground- \\'e do not presume to fix a price for brick by the new manufacturers, but a large percentage of the trans- portation charges should go to the purchaser and still leave the manu- facturers a good price for their work. Now that they have started they’ll need wood, and for an article such as they want we are told there is plenty to be had, which should be secured at a fair price. we expect to learn more of this matter in the near future, and we wish the re-opened industry‘ a. large measure of success.
