EVERY• temperance urtil•in• the county
should use his best influence for the nett
month on behalf of the Scott Act. Don't
assume that the 'Act will be carried en -
how, and there is no use the:r•botherii env
about it., Go to work with a will. Let
every.auch, wan mit forth his best efforts.
Try to get others enlisted under the tem-
perance banner. The cause is a good
ono. The -arguments in its favor are
strong and telling, and if all who are in
sympathy with -the Act put forth the ef-
fort which they should, it will be carried
by a large majority.
BECAUSE we deem the advice opium -
tune, we repeat to our temperance friends
what we said a short time ago, and that is do
not " sponge" oh hotel keepers. If their
Stables are used, pay for that ot any other
accommodation, like men ; don't be mean
about it. Others besides temperance peo-
ple sponge on -hotel keepers, but it _is.
more noticed in the case of the latter than
the foriner, on aecoun-t-nf-th•e-stnld-What-
they take, therefore supporters of:temper-
ance principles should be very careful to
leave no grounds for complaint as to their
dealings in this respect.
TRE wholesale brewers and distillers.
of Toronto have certainly performed st
significant action by resolving that they
will not oppose the Scott Act in any coun-
ty where it is to be submitted, leaving the
opposition,. if any, to be made by local
dealers. Whether they havebeen guided
in this step by the strength .01 -public
opinion favorable to the Act, or find their
experience in Halton too costly, we know
not, but the action shows that they realize
the hopelessness of resisting the temper-
. auce wave now rolling over the land.

COMMITTEE MEETI\G.-The General
Committee of the County of Huron Scott
Act Association 'held a meeting in the
temperance hall, Clinton, on Monday last.
Representatives were present from all
parts of the county. D. D. Wilson, Esq.,
of Seaforth, the President of the,Associa-
tion, occupied the chair. After prayer
by Rev. Wm. Birks, of Holmesville, the
first question taken up was that of provid-
ing literature for the campaign, and it was
decided to procure a supply of pamphlets,
and to issue a paper containing matter
suited to the requirements of the county,
to be distributed free of charge.. The
next question considered was that of per-
fecting the organization for the canvas.
The various representatives were called
upon to report the present condition of
their respective municipalities, and their.
needs in that respect. From these reports
it was learned that some of the townships
are already thoroughly organized, with a.
live committee in every polling subdivi-
sion. In those municipatitied'where the
work is not so far advanced arrangements
were made for having the organization
immediately completed, preparatory to
thorough work. Arrangements were made
for a series of local public meetings
throughout the county, and also for hold-
ing convention's at Exeter, Wingham;'
Seaforth, Brussels and Dungannon. The.
anti -temperance party will be invited to
have representatives present at all these
conventions, to take part in the discus=
sions. Special temperance sermons will
'be preached from the pulpits of the coun-
• ty a short time before polling day, and on
the day before the election union meets
ings for prayer for the success of the
temperance cause will be, held in every
locality. A resolution was passed ear-
nestly soliciting the co-operation of the
ladies, of the county, in the endetivor'to
'secure the passage of the Act. It was
unanimously agreed -that in the event of
the Act being carried in the count=y the
Scott Act Association should be continu-
ed in operation for the purpose of looking
after the due epforcing of the measure,
the mernbers pledging themselves to use
all lawful means to that end. • The meet-
ing closed with prayer and the benedic-
tion by Rev. John Gray.
IT looks as if a decision'decision'favorable to
the provinces will be given by the Su-
preme Court,,ali the suit as to the validity
of the Dominion License Act.
IT Is said that Senator cpherson will
be the next Lieut. -Governor of Ontario.
So long as we have officials ot`this natare,
he will doubtless do as well as any one
else, but it is time this and several other
superfluous offices were abolished.
A itaroa'r is current that the Mall.
will suspend publication and its place ,be
take n by the News, which also belongs to
the Riordan estate. It is well known that
the Mail has never been a paying concern,
and has very materially decreased itt its'
circulation of late, and the suspension of
either it or the News, has been a Imogene
onclusion for some time.
itt 1845, 'He first.settled in Amboy, Oswego
county, New York State, where he engaged
in business as a general storekeeper", with'his
brother Walter, who preceded him. Shortly
afterwards be was joined by his brother, ill .

ness there for. sometime Mr. Coats came. to
_Canada,and clerked in et titers kelit by a Mr.
Seobie, at Caledonia, and free there he went
to Thameevilte, where he again started in
businessfor himself. In 1854 he retrieved to
Clinton, where hebas ever since.rcisided, • In
1857 Mr. Robt. Coats joined him, and they
carried on an extensive business; until about
three years ago,:when the deceased retired.
Mr. Coats was a mail very •widely known in
the 'county of Huron,and there were Very
few of the ,old settlers, particularly. in the
north, with whom he was .not acquainted,
His customers carne from long distances, ow=
in to the limited markets of those days.
For•sonietiine past Mr. Coats has been' in
failing health. In February last he was cow•

grown, worse. . ever since, until Friday last;'
when he passed away.. He was comparative-

to Clinton, and. his. wife, with flee sons and
three daughters, survive him. His•brother,
