prohibitory provisions, such as " no
liquor can be sold on Sunday, election

strictions made the Crooks Act good,
our more comprehensive restrictious

confined in police stations, and 1,616

It ie said by the friends of the traffic
that the Scott Act should be abolished,
because, in liquor cases, men perjure
themselves, etc. So long as 'the liquor

that kind of thing -it is a legitimate
fruit of the traffic. In one of the States
they are required to swear that they
will obey all the laws in reference to
their business, etad yet, on good authori-
ty we are told that it would be impos,
sible to find even one who has not brok-
en this pledge and perjured himself by
selling to minors, or on Sunday, or, to
drunkeu men.

How long *Wilco they have become the

-etc., is but a form of the hypocrisy they
profess to hate. Let them have full

Such persons are not those whese opin-
ions are the most to be relied upon, and
ought not to pose as the leaders of pub-
lic thought. For my part, I numb. prefer
to follow in the wake of the pereons who
make it the object and aim of their
existence to diligently searoh for the
golden grains of heaven.born truth, and
to eccept them, " wherever found, on
christian or on heathen ground," and
make those truths the guide to their foot-
steps through their wanderings through

But again, WO have a pliotographer in

that alcohol -is indispensible in the arts.
Ask our druggists, they will tell you
that there are some medieinal plants
that yield there properties to aleohol

of course, have a few extremeists, who
ignore the use of alcohol in any form,
but nine out of every ten of those whose
heads are level, admit that the anticep-
tie and stimulating qualities combined
in brandy render it the best article in

only in low grades of fevers, but in
many other complaints as well. But
let us have a word or two with our

obtained the contract for graining the
wooclwork of a new church. The doors
are only pine, but they must be made
to look like good solid oak; the pulpit is
pine, but- it must be made to pass for
walnut, and the pews for cherry, for
how can a minister present the tritth

trast it with, and in order to accomplish
this, our painter requires beer in.which
to mix his colors. Of course there are
other things that might do, but beer
_seems to answer best. Tbe facts are,
beer and deception seeni to mingle
kiudly together anywhere. And now
let us ask wherein consists the wrong
in the manufacture and sale of beer to
the painter to grain the church with ?
I fail to see any. Or where is the
wrong in the manufacture and, sale of
brandy, whereby the doctor may tide
his patient past the portals of death ;
or of alcohol, whereby the artists and

Death of Pioneers.
--
The ExpOsitor thus refers to the death
of a couple of Huron pioneers: -
Mr Mathew Ward„ of the 5th conces-
*ion of Tuckersmith, and father of Mr.
John Ward. of Seaforth, and Mr Joseph
'Ward of Tuckersmith, passed to his
longhome on Monday last, having reach-
ed the unueual age of e6 years and six
months. About two weeks ago Mr
.---.Ward went to Bethanysin the county of
Durharti, to vieit his eldest son and
daughter, -and while there was attacked
with inflammation of the lungs which
proved fatal. He' was taken sick on
Friday and died on 'Monday, The re-
.inalus were taken home on Wednesday
ad''ttrere 'interred in the Egmondville
cemetery on Thursday. •Mr Ward was
a native of the county of Wicklow, Ire-
land,'and carne to this 'country about
sixty. years ago. He settled in the town
ship of Menvera, the ,county of Dur-
ham, and continued topside there until
,21 years ago, when lie sold his farm to
hiseldest son, who is still in possession
of it,and where he breathed his laetiand

ed to own until his death. Hiss wife
died about six years ago. He had a
family. of_ twelve children, five sons and
seven daughters, all of whom, with the
exception of one daughter, survive him
and are grown up. He was a remark-
ably active,. healthy Man, audits his
younger daya it took an Unusually good
Man to match him either in work or
play. The day before he left 'here he
walked from his own place to Seaforth
and seemed to step along almost as light

or at least the public 84001 section,
bad outlived its usefulness. At the
conclosion, a vute of thanks to the
president for his address was moved
by H. I. Strang, B A., and seconded
by A. J. Moore, B. A., and carried
unanimously. The Inspector stired
his method of school inspection and
asked for advice or criticism on any
part of it from the teachers.
Ur Johnson then dealt with the
Chautauqua movement, giving a brief
resume of the history of the move-
ment from its inception to the pre-
sent time, and enlarging on. the bene-
fits teachers would derive from a sys-
tematic course of reading, followed
by an examination on the matter
read. He considered the course of
reading pre.cribed in the Chautaqua
course inestimable to those wheee
education has been neglected in early
y eurs, and to teachers, whom it would
inspire better work. .He gave a
graphic account of the work to be un-
dertaken andahe rewards to be der -
rived from it, and advised the teach-
ers present to take up the course and
' by so doing improve their powers
and position.
A vote of thanks fur, the paper
was catried, and a discussion in
which M'easers. Holman, Craseweller,
Tom and Strang took part was engag-
ed in, all agreeing as to the advieabil-
ity of teachers reading more, and
thereby gaining more general know-
ledge.
The next sulaject on the programme
was "Music in• the Schools. Mr. J.
P. Neel n, who introduced the subject,
began by stating that according to
his belief every teacher can sing
enough to teach his own school, and
then entered on an exposition of his
manner of teaching his pupils. He
considered the use of an organ or
piano a great help, and thought that
the pupils should be taught music
from the tinie of their entrance ; he
referred to the Normal School method
of marking accent, considering accent
as the main thing in music, and con-
cluded with the following motion,
seconded by S. P. Halls, B. A.,
"That in view of the fact that it is
desirable to have singing taught in
the public schools in general through-
out the province, and that it is prop-
er to give as much encouragement as
possible to such an object, Resolved
L That this Convention recommend'
the Education Department to add
vocal music, both practice and theory,
as a bonus subject to tha nurriculm of
the Entrance Exaniinatiou II. That
a copy of this motion be sent to- the
authorities of the Education Depart-
ment in Toronnto.
The resolution was under discus-
sion when the meeting was adjourned,
it beiug agreed that is was to be first
matter on •the tapis the next morn-
ing.
. In the evening a large audietice
assembled in the Grand Opera House.
A very varied and exoellent program
had been provided,

of chemical and electrical experi-
ments, s-howing his m ethrod- of teach-
ing chemistry to beginners. Hie lip-

tion examinations in the West Huron
inspectorate:
The resolution committee brought
in tbe following motions: I. Youi
committee are of the opinion that
some of the text books authorized by
the Department are not suitable for
use in our public schools, more es-
pecially the public school history and
public school geography.
This resolution was amended by
striking out the word§ "public school
geography" owing to man'y of the
teachers not having ,examined the
Work.
II. Having learned that Mr Frank
Crassweller is about to leave the pro-
fession and the province, in order to
persue his studies for another profes-
sion, and bearing in Mind that he
has been untiring in his efforts to pro-
mote the interests of the association,
we express our sincere regret at his
leaving us, and extend to him our
best wishes for his future prosperity.
III. It is the opinion of the corn-
mittee that the Department made a
mistake in making No 5 Drawing
Book compulsory for the next en -
trailers examination, without giving
sufficient notice.
Mr F. Crassweller thanked the As-
sociation for the kindly feeling ex-
pressed in the 2nd . resolution, and
assured the teachers that he had
always taken an active interest in
the work of the institute, and had
detived much pleasure and profit
from it, and though leaving the pro-
fession he should always remember
the friendliness afid kindncss of the
members of the institute, and should
continue to be intereeted in the their
work and their meetings.
Mr. Geo. Holman, the president,
who was hppointed delegate to the
Provincial Teachers' Association,
gave a short report nf the business
transacted at the Association, and
paid a high comPliment to the ability
of Mr IL I. Strang, B. A., giving a

The semi-annual meeting of the

Friday and Saturday, the 7th andfith
of October. Despite the unpropitious
character of the weather the attend-
ance was large, and much intereSt
was manifested in the discussion of
the various subjects. The tvork of
Friday morning consisted of appoint-
ing a business nommitee, bearing a
report of the same, and arranging for
future work. Not nauch could be
done owing to the paucity of attend-
ance, the pouring rain• having kept
many away. In the afternoon how-

and despite the unfavorable weather,
no less than 100 answered to their
name when the inspector read the

WHAT DO WE UNDERSTAND.
BY PROHIBITION?
--
7'o the Editor of Clinton New Ere.
DXAR Stu, --.1 have •enjoyed those ar-
ticles which appeared in your columns
lately. -on the subject of temperance,
just immensely ; I reust confesso how-
ever, that I would enjoy them atilt bet-
ter, if the writers would stick 'closer to
to the real point at issue. I do not
think that any cause is benefitted by
sophistry, strained arguments, or sub-
terfuge, and still less by statemants that
are not in accordance with facte. Un-
der the circumstances, it seems tome
that a little friendly criticism, if taken
in the right spirit, might result in a
'benefit to the cause.
I notioe that most of those who favor
a continuanee of the. Scott Act, claim
that prohibition is the goal to which
they are destined. Having watched,
but watched in vain, for a definition of
what we ere to understand by prohibi-
Hour by its advocates, I will assume
that we are to unaerstand it to be a law
to prohibit the manufacture, sale and
Ilse, of any thing that will intoxicate.
Now, if such n e act were submitted to

of thofte even who are 50 enthusialstic in
its favor, would give it their eupport.

The second day of Blyth Fall Show,_

ed rain, which, however, did not fall,
and a very large crowd of people turned
out, notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather. The society has enlarged its
ground by the a.ddition of a separate
yard 'for cattle, and this is a decided
improvement. They also lowered the
entrance fee to ten cents, which was a
wise move. The outside show was very
good, especially in horses, cattle and
sheep, the entries in several of the classes
beingquite numerous. The inside show
was also very good, especially in the
departmentwhilo fruit, roota etc.
were first-class, Messrs. W. Taylor &
Sons, boot and shoe donlers,made anent
knd attractive display of their „wares,
which appeared to be justly admired.
