Mr. Moran of San Pierne, was a Dunnville caller last Saturday. Mr. Moran is San Pierrie’s celebrated hay buyer whose hay buying territory includes a number of the neighboring counties. His time is equally divided between politics and hay and hay and politics. He is a democrat of the an-1 tique type and being a natural political I -orator he is an ardent defender of the • same. He says that Dunnville is a veritable garden of Eden wherein uncontrollable passion and ill-will has no being. Come again, Mr. Moran: thou art always welcome.

The following is a minute description of the only specie of young men who will be able to please the Parisan fancy of the renowned Dunnville girls; He must be of medium height, adorned in modern apparel, with gold watch and watch chains and russet shoes. He must be a fuE-blcoded tcetotler and an antiterbaccer user. His vocabulary must be as extensive as Col. Bryan’s, including, besides, an unlimited number of unpronounceable words which none can vutter but himself. His nature must be pliable and his will as easily changed as Abe tail feathers of a half-scared thunderpumper. He must be conversant in politics and pota'o raising and be able to sing it requested to. He must be able to dance a cake, a pie or sugar-beet walk »«a dignified rfianner. If he comes into church with his necktie sixty degrees out ot its normal position and he knows •t, be must be able to manifest an air <»f invented indifference. Above ail he must have a blooming mustache, reflecting all the colors of the rainbow, delicately waxed with an abundance of beeswax, use tallow on his hair and cheerful similes on his face.
