To 'TIM i EDITOR ADVOCATE. Last Friday eyeuing, I attended an open meeting of the R. T. of T,, in Ceu- tralia to hear among other things a disscussion bn the relative might of the pen and sword. The advocates of the pen contended that an appeal to men's intellectuality, by means of moral 'suasion, was might- ier than the sword. Many arguments were used but one in particular ad vanced by the advocates of the sword, attracted my attention, yiz; That mor• al suasion had bee," the means used hitherto to lessen the evils of intemper• ance, but that these moral suasionists had come to .the conclusion that it was not meeting their expectations and nothing short of Legislative Prohibition would bring about the reform required, thus showing that the moral suasion ists considered prohibition mir,htier than the pen or moral suasion. The decision was awarded to the pen. As ail the speakers and nearly all the audience were Royal Templars, the result of the meeting will be very dis- couraging to the aspirations of the Editor of the Templar, of Hamilton, who has been so energetic in the cause of Prohibition. , One Who Was Present.

Almost immediate- ly a line of hose was laid to Fair's hy- drant, anda stream of water poured into the store, followed by others from the fire engine. The fire was soonun- der control, but not before considerable damage had been done. It originated in the basement, by what means is not known, as the furnace was perfectly, secure; running up a stairway parti tion it got to the second floor before it was checked. Fortunately very little stock in this or any of the adjacent stereo was removed. .Harland Bros,' loss will be considerable, although, the atoek is insured. t Abreast of the Tunes In order to be abreast of the times, my son Mr. S.

Whitworth received a severe stroke rom a cordwood stielt on the sbin bone, but thought little of it. In a day or two the pain got so bad that he had to consult a doctor, who has ordered him t0 remain in the house and keep his leg perfectly quiet until it healed which may take 2 or 3 weeks. Henry would not be averse to some of his old friends calling on him during his imprison- ment. Seaforth: On a recent Sunday night some persons entered the residence of Mr. John Paul, and sole from his trou- ser pocket, a sum of money.

About two hundred of the friends and relatives of the interested parties were present, all helping to make it a most enjoyable occasion. The gifts were numerous and elegant. Clinton: Through a matter of deep regret, it was not altogether one of sur- prise to the public on Monday morning to learn of the death of the wife of Mr. T. Jackson, sr., at the age of 57 years. The stroke of paralysis she sustained a few days before was regarded as so serious that her recovery was doubt- ful, although she rallied somewhat in the interim. Sho was a member of the Presbyterian church, (which by the. way, has suffered many heavy losses by death recently) and was not only a good wife and mother, but was also very charitably disposed, and in her earlier years took an active part in all chrueh work. Mitchell: Mr. Thomas Worth who is over eighty years of age, and one of the first settlers of this neighborhood, bad a close call Wednesday evening'. He had not been feeling well, and took a powder which he had in the house for over thirty years. There were strong symptoms of poisoning, and he hurried- ly sent for Dr. Wood, who applied the usual remedies, but for hours they seemed of little avail, for violent con- vulsions followed each other in rapid succession, and continued at intervals until 2 a. in. At one time he was thought to be dead, but he rallied, and is now on a fair way to ]recovery. The Dr is positive that strychnine was mixed with the powder. Clinton: Citizens were surprised to learn of the death of W.Shannon cn Mon- day morning, Several years since the gentleman had a severe attack of la grippe, from which he never fully re- covered. In fact the disease so shatter- ed his whole system that it was only a question of time. He was able to be up and around until 6 p. m. Sunday, the vital spark taking its flight eight hours later. The late Mr. Shannon was the very embodiment of all that goes to make a good citizen, loving father and devoted husband, Mitchell: Mr. Thomas Worth, who is over eighty years of age, and one of the first settlers of this neighborhood, had a close call Wednesday evening last. He had not been feeling well,. and took a powder which he had 10 the house for over thirty years. There were strong symptoms of poisoning, and he hurriedly sent for Dr. Wood, who applied the usual remedies, but for hours they seemed of litdle avail, for violent convulsions followed each other in rapid suedession, and continued at intervals, At sena time he was thought to be dead, 'but he rallied. The doctor is positive that strychnine was .mixed with the powder. An Utter Failure. Ottawa, March 31...—Word was re• ceived here this morning that the com- mission to Winuipeg has been a failure. The Greenway Government refuses to listen to all overtures, and is utterly irreconcilable. The commission will leave for Ottawa to day. Press Despatch. Ottawa, March 31.—Latest despatch- es to the Government from Winnipeg - are to the effect that Manitoba is willing to grant in practice all that can reason- ably be asked—indeed, all that is want- ed—if left free to do so, but declines to enact a dual system of education. If the commissioners can persuade the hierarchy to rely upon the honor of Manitoba rather than demand the strict letter of the law, peace can soou be re- stored. Some insist upon the Remed- ial Bill going through as well as the compromise, and in that case there will be no settlement. A sad accident occurred near Kintore the other day, resulting in the death of Christopher Jaynes. While Mr. James was climbing up the straw stack, the top tipped over striking him on the breast, killing him instantly. Mr. James was highly respected, and a prominent member of the Presbyterian church. He leaves a wife, three sons and six daughters, who have the sympathy of the entire community. A young man named Wooley, aged 15 years, who has been employed by .A. McPherson, lath concession, North Yar- mouth, for the past six years, tried to end his life by taking a dose of Paris Green on Tuesday night. When it was found that he had taken the poi- sonous powder, Dr. Duncombe was called`, and applied the restoratives used in such emergencies. From reports, received it is throught that the lad may die. Wallaceburg News :—"About eight years ago Mr. Thomas Shaw loaned Mr. John Taesie $800, taking as securi- ty a• mortgage on four acres of land be- longing to the agricultural society. The society was not incorporated, and there- fore unable to give legally any mort- gage on the said lands and therefore the security was of no value, After' demanding the money Mr. Shaw sued to recover the amount and obtained judgment. Mr. Tassie appealed to the Court of Appeals. Mr. Shaw appealed. to a higher court and the case has been, before the courts for the last two years. Last week the court gave judgment in. Mr. Shaw's favor for the Amount, with interest and costs. The amount will now foot up to $2,000. Sate BIRTHS McPhe.rson.—In'Greenway on the 26th uit,,,the wife of Ed, McPherson, of a daughter
