The Etpworth League of the Media - dist Church, Thorneale, on Friday evening last, at a full meeting, uuani- raoasly passe1 the following resole- tione— "Resolved, that we set on record our disapproval and greatly deprecate the decision of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his Cabinet on the Plebiscite. We believe such decision to be contrary to the in- tention of the plebiscite, to be against the best interests of humanity, the cause of Obristianity and the great temperance question. We believe the • xnajority for prohibition was sufficient to warrant the government in passing • some tenaperance legielaciaa, if not to give prohibition at least in all the Pee:educes except Quebec, and. there we are persuaded great corruption must have prevailed to cause suth an overwhelming majority against the • plebiscite. In view of the decision rendered by Sir Wilfrid and his Gov- ernment on the plebiscite, we there- fore severally and collectively pledge • ourselves to withdraw our sympathy aild support from Sir Wilfrid Laurier • and his Government, and to vote mad support those "eentlereen and govern- ment that willcarry out the wish of the majority of the people in this Do- minion on the temperance question." • NO PROHIBITION BILL. Aid, Spence, of Toronto, has just • Made public a letter, dated March 4, which he has received from the Pre- • mier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, on the ques- tion of the plebiscite vote. At some • length the Premier points out the re- • sults a the vote, saying "the record shows that the electorate of Canada, tie which the question was submitted, comprised 1,233,819 voters, and of that number less than 23 per cent., or a trifle over one-fifth affirmed their con- • victioe in the principle of prohibition." • Sir Wilfrid Laurier'sletter concludes thus : "My object, is simply to convey • to you the conclusiou that in our judg- • Ment the. expression of the public opinion recorded at the polls in favor of prohibition did not representsuch a proportion of the electorate as would • justify the introduction by the Govern- ment of a prohibitory measure." In an interview with Add. Spence be • said for himself personally that "I think it is -very unfair to count the • • stay-at-home votes against us, and if the principle which Sir Wilfrid Laurier • lays down in his letterwere carried out • the Liberals were defeated at the last eleciens." • Mr. Spenceis one of the most rapid Liberals in Toronto. Eareen should have a milk and meat inspector, an official. who will guarantee to the people that they are drinking pure nailk and eating whole- some meat, Towns of not half her pretensions are ahead of Exeter in • this respect and further, it is custom- ary throughout the province for such municipalities as ours, to levy a tax of from $3 to $5 upon all persons ped- dlinimilk. This is but fair. Other •peters are compelled to take out li- censes and why not the milkman. He is not selling the lacteal fluid" for the fun of the thing. Let the council is- sue a milkman's license and pay a inan of experience to examine all meat, milk and farm produce sold on the lo- cal market and give him all power nec- essary in the prosecution of delin- • qtienbs, Owing to the heavy import duty upon flax imposea by the United States there will be none grown around Embro this year, and the mill will be closed for at least a year. This will be a serious loss to the village. The farm of George Rooney. of Dow- nie, which was not sold at time of sale of stock ancl implements last week, has since been disposed of privately to Mr. Moffatt, or North reasthope, for $0,100, Mr. Moffatt will take possession on April 1. The farm eonaprises 05 acres and is in good condition, having good buildings, fences and lustier drairis. • Rev. Andrew Cunningham, pastor of the Methodist chattel at Kincerd- ine, died Friday morning after & se- vere illness, lasting seven months. Ile leaves anvvidow, daughter of the late Dr, nice, superintendent of the Metho- dist Ohara Cabada, and sister of IL L. Rice, 11 ' A., SL Marys. three sons and two daughters. For thirty- one years Mr. Canninglmen had been fictively engaged in the ministry, his first, ppoin tmen t being at Newmarket. Since then he had filled some of the most iinportapt atabions in the prov- inee, inelnding London, St, Merys, Hamilton, Stratferd, • Guelphs Galt, Oearigeville, Mitchell and Kincardine, It is announced that 6,000 more Galiciaxis are to be importedthie year by the 11012.0iifford Sittorsto swell the unneigration returns. The Winnipeg, Telegram yigorieteely, protests against any further consignment of these people to tbe Nortlawest, and says :— "Not only are they poor and filthy, but their morsel ebaracter is disgrace- ful. The revelation of tba character of these people evlaich the atrocious Stematburn anurder has Afforcled is sufficient in itself to condemn them: Not only do they hold- robbery and newsier in very light estimation, but they are inveterate and enscrapulous perjurers. • In the vicinity of every Galician settlement, theaustecesof the peace haye been kept busy. The Tele- gram dots not condemn these people from exceptional cases. All the time evidence is being furnished as to their disgustingly low moral standard, One of the most receipt instances in this regard, is furnished in a late issue of the Calgary Herald. There are very few white women evho sink so low as to become the mistresses of Chinamen. Yet the Galician women have no scruples against so doing. 'When a case of Chino -Galician immorality was brought •before the court, the crown prosecutor refused to go on with tae case. There may leave been lack of sufacient evidence, as pleaded,but it is curious that the crown •prosecutor in the case was a brother or Mr. Satan, Minister of the Interior. Evaporated P otato es. , Perhaps there is nothing in the evo • lotion of things, that bas been subject to more change, and this is especially true of the closing century, than the preparation of food stuffs. Every Year brings some 'improve- ment in the human diet, not so much in the victuel itself as in the mode of preparing it. this being more percept- ible, at the present time in thee making ready of fruits and roots. But in this generation ,of change, manse' chiefest sustinance has been overlooked—the potato, we think it has been slighted. The apple With her sister fruits is pre- pared for consumption in every imag- inable manner and yet the poinme de t ere is served up for brealtaisedintier and supper, just as she came from the field. Why are frnits evaporated? Not thab they are improved ia flavor, or increased in bulk, by, the drying process, for on the other hand there is a depreciation in both quantity and flavor. And yet eveporatiou pays, because it facilitates the necessary handling of the goods ; sett economizes storingroom and preserves the fruit for an iudefinately long time. Now what we advocate is the evap- oration of the potato, as a, home in- dustry. Not only will the beneficial results of evaporated fruit follow, but the potato has an advantage over fruit, in as much as it is pitless. That the entire article can be.used for one pur- pose is surely a powerful inducement. With it there can be no waste and the process of evaporation is. greatly sim- plified. A. returned minor, from the north, says that of all the specially prepared foodstuffs, in the Klondyke, none has tivned out such a success as the dried potato, and moreover Ogilvie in his of- ficial message to prospectors, advises them to carry agoodly supply of evap- orated potatoes. This is sienificant. If such a preparation of the root proves a boon to these men of the north, it must necessarily be a bene- faction to mankind in general. . The evaporation of potatoes would prove a bonanza to Huron farmers, for no where in the world are there fields, which can out -yield those of our coun- ty, either in abundance or excellence of their crop, nor yet is there a better place than Exaterfor such an industry. -- Arrangeoaents are about gompleted for the North Middlesex Farmers' Institute excursion to the Experimen- tal Pam at Lensing, Mich. The data of the excursion is June 22nd. After a long life of 96 years Mrs. Wood passed away on February the 17th, at Hazleton, Mich. She leaves behind to mourn her departure six sons and two daughters.

Lambtou farmers complain of exten- sive loss of potatoes which they hed stored in pits, from the extraordinary frost of a few weeks ago. They had been covered the usual depth, hub not sufficient for this winter. Usually but libtle snow falls in West Lambton, and the ground remains bare most of the winter,. .and potatoes in pits re- quire extra •attention to seeure them against the frost.. Mr. j. L. Whitaemb, of New York, is in Ottawa representing a syndicate of New York publishers who are lo- cating a large papernaill at Britaneia, on the Ottawa.

The Presideut theu thanked the embers for the honer conferred upon him in electing. him to the honorable position of President, . Mr. S. R. Halls, M. A, asked. for an explanation feem the President and Secretary, regarding the matter of not naemorializiug the County Council with a view to securing Thursdays for Association purposes, The secretary replied that? it WAS on account of a ails- tuideretanding as to the time of meet- ing of the Clouuty Council. The minutes of the last session at Godericla, were read and on motion of E. J. Hagen, seconded by W. J. Scott, were adopted. Mr. Tom then spoke of the necessity of dividing the association into Junior and Senior sections, also of referring the matter of the new school hill to the Resolution Committee. The following. couanitteee were then appointed by the president, viz.-- •9 Resolutions,--Messra Beckett, How- ard, Hagan, McKay, Johnston and Miens Halls and Gill. Auditors,— Mesers, P. Gowans, and J. .E, ewdelVILIVsubject of "Teaching Composis IL Johnston then introduc- tion in all grades." This paper consisted of the substance of the discussions held by the Exeter Local District Association and contain, ed much matter of interest to the teachers. One of the principal fea- tures of this paper was the condem- nation of those of incorrect instead of correct forms. of speeches teaching OompositIon, and the recommendation to use sentence building very largely. The discussion was .further continued by Messrs. Holman, Tom, Gowans, Beckett, Anderson and Miss Jeckell. The next thing on the program as au address OD "What can be done by teachers to foster a national spirit ?" The address was well received and showed that thelnspector had bestow- ed much thought on this subject. It was full of suggestions to the teachers and delivered in a veryearnest man- ner. The principal points in the ad- dress may be sunamarizecl as follows: - 1 The teacher must be an intelli- gent, patriotic citizen himself, 2 The teacher sbould give pupils an intelligent knowledge of their country and its forms of government. The size, resources, commerce and strength of the Dominion and British Empire should be fully understood. 8 Point out and emphasize the god - Learing and lawsabiding nature of our citizens. 4 Encourage the study of our National Literature. 5 National songs should be sung by the pupils, and patriotic selections memorized. • 6 The study of History and Geog- xaphyshould always, be along national lines. 7 Encourage the • reading in the home, of papers and books that are national and nlevating. .A. well select- ed School Mealy should be establish- ed in every school section. 8 The teacher should use his influ- ence to create a public sentiment in • favor of one language, (The English),in our schools from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 9 In every sehool house there should be a national flag. • 10 Apicture of our Queen should be hung in every sebool-room ; also pictures of leading Canadian Or Brit- ish statesmen. Discussion of Mr. Toms' address was postponed for the afternoon. Miss Sharman representing the Goderich Local Division then took up "Drawing in all grades." Miss Sharman delivered a very point- ed and practical address covering the ground of tbe different, classes very fully. A pleasing feature of the ad- dress was that itwasdelivered with- out manuscript thus lending more interest to the subject. Miss Sher- man spoke strongly of the bad ar- rangement and construction of many of the figures in our present system of drawing book. The question was further discussed by several teachers. Mr. It I. Strang was unable to be present much to the regret of the as- sociation. Mr. Strang's letter of regret of his unavoidable absence was read by the Secretary. The Association adjourned until 2 p. m.

Hol- man, Halls, Andersep and Miss Bell, all emphasizing the Importance of the subject. Ttie, President, Mr, H. N. Anderson, then delivereda careful and pro,ceical address on. Progress in Education which waswell. received by the teechers. Many of the weak points in our public school work were pointed out, such as too much History and Geography for entrance,and too much memory work in general. As to the teacher himself it was pointed out thee, the trairibeg term was too short, and the certificate should be yalid during good .behavior. Limiting certificates to a short . period ,was the cause of the lack of permanence in the teething profession and of small salaries. The teaching profession was , the fitting ground in all professions. The subject of the address was fur- ther discussed by Messrs. Tilley, In- spector Tom, G. W. Helmet), and S. E. Beekett. A :sheet interiniesion was then taken af tee which Mr. J. 3, Tilley proceeded to discuss "History' and dealt with the subject under the folio wieg heads: 1 Ilistory tends to form moral po- llees, 2 It trains to form exact, estimate of character. S It broadens the ideas.

' Evneneres In the evening a. very successful entertainment was held in. the Opera House, the commodious building be- -big well filled with teachers and-vest- denes ot the village of Exeter and sur- rotending,enuntey, The feature of the evening,. was • the lecture delivered by j. J. Tilley,Esq„ Model School Inspec- tor, .on "Home preparatiou of the child for school and life." The ad- dress was a splendid effort, brim full of.practical and pointed hints to par- ents on child training and ibs import- ance in the formation of eharacter. All those who heard Mr. Tilley's ad- dress could not but appreciate the kindly, sympathetic manner in which he marshellecl a brilliantarray of argu- ments for jadicions, firm, but loving parental training of the child as the best means of fitting and equipping the .child for the duties of after life. The Davidson Orchestra, Miss Gerty Hicks, Miss Martin, Mr. Joseph Senior and Judson Davidson rendered a splendid musical program. Mr. 11.1q.. Anderson,President of the Association presided.

This subject was further discussed by Messrs. Halls, Holman, Hagen, Gowans, Anderson, Johnstote Mr.. G. W. Holman was then called on to take up the subject of "Litera- ture in all grades." The method of teaching this subject was amepitorne of discussions on Literature held in the Veep& Local division.
