This being the case is the imperative duty of those elected to anage the affairs of a municipality, to see at nothing is left undone that can be reason- ly done to abate every nuisance, to remove filth, and to make such arrangements as all produce the utmost degree of cleanliness. question, in connection with this matter, ion is being debated in a number of towns d oities,is how shall we dispose of the faecal er accumulating in water clouds. in cit , where water is abundant, and the extra - ant use of it causes the sewers to be oon- ntly flushed, the disposal of the sewage, 'oh is a constant and increasing nuisance, one of the most difficult questions that es before the governing body. In a ri where no water -works exist, water olos- oanu„t ..t, therefore the only alternative the constriction and use of earth closets. w places, of but few inhabitants, where the onmulatioue of faecal matter is but compar- vely small, do not suffer much from its esenee, therefore, not realizing it as a great 1, take no steps to remove it; but the time mus \ellen its presence, and health destroy- ,, .td, ,.au no longer be ignored, and the ueetion of life and death is forced upon them- ,linton, as well as a number of other places n this county, is approaching that condition, nd wisdom would suggest that means should ie3at once taken to establish the best closet yetem that can be devised. The construction ant mainteuance of sew - is is very costly, and to avoid this should be he desire of councillors, but if sewage is ,ermitted to run into natural water courses, hereby becoming a nuisance to contiguous perty holders, the council will be compel - to abate the nuisance by either cover- up the channel or prevent the inflow of he matter that creates the nuisance.

If the far- rs of Middlesex are as intelligent as those i-.iuiou, they will emphatically repudiate he unreliable assertions of the Free Press. We doubt if there is a member of the Dom- ilion (lovernment that dare go into a menu - !)(aurae; centre to -clay and deliver a similar each to what was given in 1S82 about "the iod times the National Policy would pro- ;ico.” Neither dare they visit a rural con- etitnency and talk to farmers about "high 1 ices for grain," for in both instances they ould receive such a reception that would con - Mince them the people see through their hy- pocrisy and fraud. The total vote polled at the Scott Act elec- tion in Huron county is placed at 10,475, a decrease of only 1,110, as compared with the agg,•e„ate v""e pulled at the political election lir rnaa, evidently the work of canvassing and getting out voters was very thoroughly done in Huron both by the friends and oppo- nents of the Aot.—Globe. The decrease between the vote on the Scott at and the average political election, is more parent than real, for this reason:—A good airy who Could only vote once for tho Scott Act, woald be entitled to vote three times for flection 'purposes—that is, once in each rid - ug; so that the actual individual vote on the ;Act may really be greater than at the average keloctiou.

He alleges that Rev. T. hi- Lueee,i, of Goderieh, was divorced from hie t wife on the ground of adultery. As Mr- pbell's first and Duly wife is now living him, this charge must therefore be with - a particle of foundatiou.

If such is the case,„ he lowers himself to the position of•oue who is not worthy of the name of a gentleman, and by his approval of such conduct elaesee himself with the low rabble that anted so disgracefully in the even- ing. Tho gentleman who was the object of their spite bas been an antive and energetic Scott Act advocate. Several times, during the campaign he has been subjected to spite• ful annoyances, and bold insults from parties in the village; and one or two iustancea oc- curred in which lie was addressed in language very unbecoming and unfit for pare lips, com- ing also froth some who desire to be consider- ed gentlemen. lie has borne these insults with Christiau patience, and on the evening of the 30th they assumed such a menacing attitude, that he was forced to seek the pro- tection afforded by law to peacable citizens. Notwithstanding this, on his departure for home, after hearing the reports of the elec- tion, be was presented with eggs, as the cor- respondent says, although he does not men - ties the fact of .stones also having been thrown. Ile could not conscientiously ap- prove of that, so he, left it oat. Now sir, I have not heard of any Buell ungentlemanly conduct having occurred in connection with the events of the 30th, at any other place in the whole county, and 1 ant sure that every true Scott Act or Anti -Scott man will.agrce with me in saying that such conduct is only the fruits of a depraved nature. I do not mean to lower Bayfield in°•the eyes of the public, for I am happy to say there aro many estimable men in the village, but their eon. duct, no matter where it occurs, is a alight on any community: One or two articles- besides this having been written by the Bayfield con respondent, in which he refers, iu rather die, garaging sentences, to our esteemed friend, has prompted me to write on his behalf."

Goderioh township, Nov. 8. BOYCOTTED. BOYCOTTED. To the Scott Act llsaociat'iorn of the County of Huron.. MR. PRESIDENT AND- GENTLEMEN,—In be- half of the. supporters of •the Scott Act in Hullett in general, and myself in particular, I feel that I am compelled to apologize for the unenviable positionthat Hullett occupies, in reference to the late vote, as compared with other townships. • Hullett was all the time regarded by both parties as sure to give at (east twice as large a -majority as it has done, and the question is asked on all hands, what happened Hullett 1• I shall endeavor to .an- swer. The antis, believing Hullett so (thong on the Scott Act, made a moat determined onslaught during the last week ; 'and the. Scott Act party, feeling Hallett was secure, made no extra. effort, and I got bat verylittle assistance from ;any outside of the township.: When you consfdcr that I had to contend against the bitterest opposition possible, and that many such as the following.wore used,` viz :=Money, whiskey, or other liquor, , ear- ried around through the township, and'offer- ed to men ; a •telecram that a man wanted •, 1,000 head of cattle from here, if the Scott Aet-was-defeated,---aud-net-otheasisei a -list= with respectable church members' names on it, that they were against the Act; $100,000 a year loss on barley in. Huron.; that cider could not be made ; that Adams was working for the Act so as to get the office of inspector of cellars, and that bo would be going all over the township, over -hauling the cellars, of the farmers, (some said' at.a salary of $500, some said $000, and others $1.,000. a year) ; that it was a political question, and I had' said so at n-meetieg at Manchester ,-'that; personally; I- was not honest in money matters, that I had' cheated some party out of $1, and•had taker money from children at school, and ,that I could not or would not pay my way, but aliened -•onothers when away from home ; that these who worked the hardest against. the Act acknowledged on Thursday and since that they never had read or seen a Scott Act, and knew scaroely.anything about it ; that at all the meetings held in, the township; at which I was present and took part, no one took the platform to oppose the Act, and no opposition at the meetings was allowed by the antis, as it would do no• good; they said, and would only bring out a big crowd, and they did not want that. 1 must: add one more, (hypocrisy) ; that meth advocated and stroke in Inver of the Act, when speaking to Scott Act men, and against it to antis, and some even now pretend that they voted for the Act. Teu will, therefore, see "that I had no small opposition to fight against, and will not, I think, consider 1 have 'been lacking in .my duty to the Cause. ,.So intensely bitter is•the feeling against me for the part I have taken in the public interest, 'that I have been boy- cotted very much by'severel. anti'men,'the will not come into my store, or patronize me, or allow any of their families,to do so. They bave also boycotted the estate of Mr. John Bremerton, for which 1 am only assignee, with the expectation of punishing nib for daring to exercise my right to think and act according, to the dictates of my conscience, aul use the liberties for which our forefathers fought and bled: Before concluding, I would say that. Mr. John McMillan comes in for a consider- able share of ill will, and it is ...whispered around (I do not know 'how true) that the antis intend to have a man in.the field. to run for the reeveship next year. I merely mention this to pat others on tLeir guard, so that none may caught napping. .I have to congratulate the association on the glori• ous victory for this county,•and hope tha: all have returned sincere thanks for the same to the God of battles, who has assuredly been on our side. I never heard such an earnest "Praise God," etc., ete.,,. as was sung in the Methodist church here, on the Sunday night after the victory. 'Hoping that allwill turn out well, and that the Act will he well en- forced, never to be repealed, and 'that before long we may have general prohibition for the whole Dominion, I remain, gentlemen, yours truly, ' R. ADAMS, Londosboro, Nov. 5, V.P. for Hullett. THOSE SEWING 11ACHINES AGAIN. To the Editor of the Clinton Hent Era, DEAR Sui,—There are two er throe items in Mr. Crawford'(. Rater that I wish to put etraig)it before the public, then X am done, so far as the sowing rnachino controvery is eon- corned.• The first and principal one is that Mr. Crawford dines net at:;,l•tho Genuine New York Singer, which I ant prepared to lirnve at any time. Mr. Crawford gets behind the question, by saying ho r�e�pproeentit the Singer alanufaetnring Co., of New York, he dare not come cut like a man, and say "I sell the Genuine New York Singer," ea he well knows the raohfne he sells is net made in this coun. try, avid cannot eon -pare with the Genuine N. Y. flint er. We our easily explain about that trade mark. Ou account of cheap labor, etc•, the Singer Manufacturing Co, have estab• • Hebed a factory in Glasgow, Scotland, and on all machines produced there they put this trade mark. Talk about fraud, I would like to know if Mr. Crawford is not fraudulently palming off on the publio.a cheap imported machine, and Calling it a Genuine New 'k ork Singer. rpt the' orda'INewYork"yin your sign, Mr, Crawford, and then thepublic may (relieve you do sell a genuine article, The red tickets about which be wishes ore to explain I won honestly, by having a better article on exhibition than Mi Crawford. Call onthe secretary and see if there is any fraud about it. 'would like to ask how any one eau tell by the trade mark whether they are getting a new or secondhand machine, as the Singer Mfg.

To the Eiht„r of the yew Lira. ' DEMI Sitt,--About lwo years ago a certain farmer bouglit of his neighbor a two year old heifer, payingitherefor'the sum of $15. After' it had been in his possession only a short time be found that it was not in a healthy condition, but not caring to kill it, he kept it for abort two years, reselling it a short time since to its origival owner for the snip of .$8, who, apparently knew that the animal had been unhealthy for over two years, • This party killed it, the carcass dressing about 300 Ibr., which shows a very small and nom- ani• mal for a 4 -yr old, I am, informed Mr. Edi- tor, on good authority, that this meat, known to be diseased, was sold to the people of Clin- ton. Now, I think this should not be'allow- ed.. If • the town butchers did duoh a thing they would be prosecuted for endangering the public health, and while many think they are. saving money by buying meat of farmers, it henerally+ turns out• that they aro paying a igher price for a poor meat than the hutch.. ere usually cbarge for good. Yours, Clinton, Nov. 12. A RATEPAYER, THE STANDARD ELEVATOR. To the Editor of \the Clinton New 'Era- 8114—Having ra,SIu,--Having' a little time to myself the other day; -'1 tbought I would visit the eleva- tor owned by Mr. R. Irwin, and.I send you a short account thereof, which may beof in- terest to your readers. Ou the first floor there is a largo octagon hopper, partitioned off in eight appartments, : each of which can be turned towards the elevator, so as not to mix the grain, which goes to the top in a tub or cleaner, and to any bin on either floor (be- ing a three -storey .building). Aa you come to the second storey you find, it sot out with bins of various sizes, and different grain in each one, and there you see; all the stuff that is taken out of the grain, which the farmer says he cannot get out, On the north side there is a large room full of dust, also taken from the wheat. On the top Hat you see the tub and cleaner,` and when you sec the various processes the grain goes through, you are not surprised that it is cleaner after it leaves the elevator. On the south side of thethird flat is the largo scales, which .holds 15 tons at once, and where the grain is weighed before being loaded on the cars. The engine house is to the east of the main building, a few rods. off', so asnot tobe in any danger of fire. After being shown all through, I took my leave, well pleased with what I had seen. • Clinton.

Pres., Rev. James Gray;; President, Austin 'Callander ;• Vice. Presidents, Itobt. Holmes andiMies Beesley; Treasurer, W, Beesley; Secretary, T, Taylor. Sabbath school workwas deemed so im- portant by the late Conference held in Clin- ton, and the ltev. A. Andrews so well adapt- ed to promote its Interest, that he was, by said Conference, set apart wholely to the work of visiting schools, organizing them where they do not exist, giving addressee and teaching services, with a view to greater etfi- etency in this department of chureh effort. His labors thus far have .been highly appre ciated, and greatly blessed, and we are pleased to find lie is shortly to visit Clinton.
