In the first place I can assure If. W.
B. Hutt the promoters of the Act have
not suffered their unre:liug to s}rn ..e
oft this "'mortal Dail'" as Ire terms it,
nor does it need resurreQting, but on
the contrary its promoters are work-

of rho liquor party, but, Its. silently
{and seelously as the hearer, and the
Anti -Scott -Act party will find that
out when voting day rolls around. It
is net ra matter to /peak lightly of,
nor treat insincerely, , but aa a nastier

if that be co who is abnaltag the hotel

Then nimbi the eeinee writer ettotupte

ars a benefit and absolute neeeseity,
in our land ? Iy liquor selling an
abe,olatte necessity in or land ?
Is it ono of those occupations
which elevate manlciud, and
is ragweed to produce the necessaries
of life ? No. On the contrary, it is
not legitimate as a necessity, but hes
to be made legitimate by au act of
Parliament. Farming needs no Act
of Parliament to make it legitimate, --
it is a prime necessity, not so liquor
seilint,. Liquor sallnlg natty be legal
in that way but is not legitimate in
the broad sense of that term, viz, fol-
lowing by natural sequenee. Then
again H. W. B. netts, roe we not free
agents ? Well it just depends on
what we wish to accomplish. We are
not free to go about the laud as an in
cendiary, we are not free to take our.
neighbors life. If we are caught in
the sot of self murder we are punish-
able for the crime just as though we
were guilty of an attempt no the life
of our neighbor, and no ono will deny
that drinking liquor to excess is only
a species of self -murder. No, I main•
tain we are no, free to do ne we
please. As far as eating porta and
beans is costumed, I'am inolined to
thiuic this idea at far fetched. Those
are two very nourishing species of
food, end it to very seldom, if ever, we
hear of people endangering their lives

this be said of liquor ? Z:i their bone

questions we must give a negative an-

DEAR Sin. -Would you kindly al-
Icw me through tete Columns of your
paper to lay before the public the
mean and heartless manner in whieh'
I was treated by a certain medical
man of Exeter. A short time since
my wire was taken snddeuly iii
dnrtng the night, I immediately went
for Dr. Hyndniab, the Dr, uufortun•
aately oJuld not attend, I then went
for Or. Rollins end them for Dr.
Dr. Browning, 1 ;Ali were away and
engaged,.t then applied to Cowen. He
evidently suspected that 1 had been
elsewhere, for ho at onoe flew into a
passion, and 1n a very 'coarse and in-
sulting manner informed rue Oat he
would not go, Heti he would not be
mede`*i "Jaok ina pinch" for dile or
any other man. I these applied to
Dr. Lutz, who explaitred to ane ,ghat
for certain reasonshe wished to avoid
going out at nights, he asked naa to
try OQarton again, and in case he still
refused, ho (Lutz. would go, w
(Lutz) (which
he kindly did) 1 Shen applied again to
Cowen and pleaded with him to go.
Ile met ma with a scowl,hiseed out an
oath from between Iiia teeth and shut
the door in my floe.
Now *ir, 1 will not offer any cow -
went on suoh coudtict, further than
to state, that any msdicel than, arena,
aotnated by a pleas contemptible,
petty feeling of jealousy and highness
of temper, will heartlessly refuse to
grant bis teuuietau ea to a woman in
her dire neceesity,ial certainty no hon-
or to an honorable profession ; but
when be supplements that refneal
with uncalled for insults with heart•
lose insolence, with art uotlf,nand abuts
the door its ones f.ece, I state boldly
that that man is a disgrace to en
honorable prole/43n and to lttenitood.
