Bayfield
     PETITION.— A very strong petition was signed by the Reform party for the purpose of granting the Post Office to Miss Margerette Gardner. sister of the late Mary Gairdner, who recently held the said office for a term of years. Miss Gairdner, who is Conservative, is very popular and received the strongest support of the Liberal party, who were u successful in returning the Post Office to the said Miss Margarette Gairdner. The citizens agree with the that this act is very inconsistent with characteristics of the Conservative party when it can be learned that Mr. Jas. Thompson as Division Court Clerk and Mr. John Ferguson as Bailiff have received their dismissal and their places being filled by Conservatives.1
