The issue of the new revised stai.•tes u; Canada hulled the effect of repealing tho old 'Dominion stat- utes,•ro-enacting them in• the revised and consolidated form, and it was arguedln support ofthe !notion that the Scott Act, requiring as it does the consent of the people to make it' law, having once been re- pealed by the revised statutos, can- not again come into force till it has been adopted at the poll by a voto of the people, and as it has not been submitted since its repeal it is not now law. Judgnrebt was reserved. t Con . rr•.•—The ,Sun says of the 1'.. of L. e,cui'siun to Goderich :—"We have been on ex. outdone when it was painful to hear and see the disorderly conduct of young men who • ought to know better, but a mare quiet. sober, orderly'set of passengers than that of the Knights of Libor which left Seaforth and Clinton that day has never passed through to Goderich.

Tho Sarnia Canadian says that the band of that town didn't get fair play, which causes the Guelph (Herald to remark :—"Some ono has been tolling the Sarnia editor a cook and bull story. Most likely one of the members of the band was the narrator of the affair. Sarnia• is disappointed, and is not disposed to accept defeat without a kick or But it would be insane to suppose that the opinion of the Sarnia man who was miles away from the competition will bo taken iu preference to that of the three competent judges who wero on the spot." Peeme SCHOOL TEMPERANCE,— Wo are in receipt of a copy of this new book from the publishers. It is the work selected and authorized by the Department of Education, in accordance with the amended Act, for use in our Public Schaols. The object of this book is to impart to the youth 'attending school a know- ledge of the composition and effects of alcohol, with a view to impress- ing their minds with the danger and the neodlessR.ess of contracting the habit of its use. The author is the celebrated De. .Richardson, of England. Tho work is a strictly scientific one, written, however, in simple language, and divided into short and easy lessons, with n view to its adaptation as a text- book for children. Whatever dif- ferences of opinion may divide us as to the course to be taken on this temperance question with those advanced in years, there can he no doubt of the advisability of in• strutting the young in the forts con- cerning -alcohol and the results of its use. A wise thing hes been done in providing that the coming men and women of our land shall have tho advantage of full infortuation ors the subject. 'I.'he book may be had at all bookstores for 25 cents. THE MILLERS AND INFERIOR WurAT.—At-a-tueating of the Mill en's Association of Huron, Perth, Gey, Banco and N. Welland, held at Palmerston, the following memor- ial was adopted :--To the Toronto 13eard 'of Trude,—Wo the members of the Miller's Association of Huron, Perth, Grey, Bruce and. North Wel- land, assembled at Palmeretou, feel constrained to again ceall..the atten- tion of your Board to the system hitherto followed in the villages, towns and cities, of Ontario in .,i,uQ, purchasing ofgrain. • To pay the same price for a• sample of wheat badly cleaned and poor in quality that is paid for a well cleaned and good sample is unfair and.unjust to the farmer and the miller, and' also prejudicial' to the • interests' and re- putation of onr country at' horno and abroad. A large portion of • the wheat crop of this season is ono of an inferior quality. The grade of wheat is unfit for the manufacture of flour. As an association we 'hare resolved not to purchase this grade. Wo therefore urge on your Board the serious cansidoration of this matter, and hope you will lend your influence and co-operation in establishing the system of purchas- ing grain according to its test value. ' SPECIAL • TO CLINTON BUSINESS 11TEN.—We believe it is the desire of every business man in Clinton to do all the trade they can. THE NEWS- REconn desires to have all prosper end to draw all the trade to town possible. We have heard the remark made and repeated that. Clinton is small anti not much of a business place. These remarks ere probably based on the small approx: imato number of Clinton's business men who advertise.

The snake made up its mind to show fight, and with that end in view it coiled itself up in form of a bride's cake and made darts et its antagonists. Mr. Snake was successful in keeping the com- batants at hay for nearly an hour, dart: after dart, recoil after recoil, till after a very severe struggle aided with hoes and rakes tho venomous monster was conquered ; getting to close quarters with the reptile they finallydospatchel it.
