Mr. Cornelius Cook, son of Mr, Henry Cook, of the Hensel! Flour mills, met with a very painful and serious acei dent on Wednesday of last week, while engaged in loading flour on a railway ear. The accident was caused through the breaking of the platform connee ting the tramway with the car, while pulling in the truck loaded with 1,000 pounds of flour.

It will be some time before he will recover from his ser ions injury. -Saturday morning last four yonng men, weary, worn and - mad, might have been seen wend. ing their way into the village, snow up to the ears.

And now they declare they will never again venture out ou such a stormy night - party or no party. Farquhar.

Five persons were selected as judges. The house was crowded, quite a num- ber of Crediton R T. of T's being pres- ent and furnished the music very ac- ceptably. The speeches were very leng thv. The moral suasionists undertook to show that temperance or moderation was taught in scripture and therefore its improper use should be restricted and not prohibited. That there were many social evils besides intemperance that required reforming; that the °pin. ion of many of the lending men of Can ada were against prohibition; that it could not against enforced-inasmuch as the attempt to enforce similar acts in Canada, and the States met with an entire failure That a direet tax on the people to the fact that prohibition would sooner or later induce its advo- cates to desire a repeal of the act. That the various temperanee organizations had added very large numbers to their respective orders, and particularly the R T. of T's had increased in the last 10 years from 1000 to 80,000 be moral suasion means. That, whilst prohibition only claimed to improve man's condi- tion here, moral suasion claimed a ben efit here, and hereafter, and that moral suasion was the only legitimate and scriptural means of bringing about a moral reform of all social evils. The advocates of prohibition claimed that intemperance was condemned in scrip- ture. That it was a great social evil. That the moral law iuculcated prohibi- tion. That the present license System was prohibitory, That the R. T. of T. pledge was prohibitory. That the Scott Act in the various localities where it now exists was a success. That the law in mein was well enforced, That crime diminished under prohibition. That morality and prosperity advanced under prohibition. That statistics of crime and drunkenness as contained in the returns of provincial officials were Unreliable. That only these were cor- rect. That were formulated by good prohibitionists Or temperance men. As the night waS far spent, the people be. coming restless, the chairman not will, .ing to remain longer, the reply that otherwise would have been made, was r •led out. The decision was given in favor of prohibition. Good order was maintained by all members of R T. be- cause they were under the influence of moral suasion, but a very large num- ber outside of any temperances organiz ation showed a very strong disposition to be influenced by nothing but the strong arra of the law, which will be administered the next time the same, or any other party, disturbs any meet ing in Sodom. The same parties have made a practice of disturbing our open meetings and as the names of 8 or 10 are known, an eye will be on them on any future oceasion, and an action will be brought against them and their names will appear in print, and they will very likely have the option of pay- ing a fine of $10 and costs or 50 daye.
