LAST weak the Liberals won a substan- tial victory in Paudreuill county, electing Henry H,uwood by a majority of over 160 to the seat lately rendered vaoant by the unseating of Hugh McMillan, e 0 ,nservative. At the bye election lass year Mr. McMillan was returned by a majority of 86. THE demonstration in Toronto, on Wednesday night of Inst week, fn honor of Dalton McCarthy was a great success. The largest public hall It the city was Ailed to overflowing, and alt the speaker's wore leading Conservatives. Mr. Mc- Carthy announced his determination to continue in the oouutry the agitation in favor of tariff reform, How would it do to make Arbor Day, which is the first Friday of May, a day for a general clean up following out the instructions of the Board of Health ? The day is set apart for flower and tree planting and beautifying in general An anti•Cholera Association would be set to work if our residents would aocepb of this hint. A nexznaa meeting of the Reformers of Ottawa will be held iu a fete days to make preparations for the great Reform convention which will be held here in June, and to complete the organisation of the party in this oouetituenoy. The Ottawa Reformers will take charge of the arrangements for the convention, thus tendering it unnecessary for their political brethren in other parts of the Dominion to attend to matters of detail, and the delegates who come to Ottawa on the 20th of June are assured of a hearty welcome —Ottawa Free Prase. AT Elle next regular session of Brussels Council it is proposed to introduce a Transient Traders' By-law. This is a necessary piece of local legislation that should have been enacted before this as a sefegoard to the regular business men of the place who aneuelly contribute to the exchequer of the municipality in the way of taxes. While the By-law would not shut off the ooming of transient deal erg it would cause them to pay their foot. ing for the gain received consequent upon their dealing with the public and said By-law would cover all Seasons of the year. Bnosawas Mee/MOWS' Institute is not the hustling institatiou it should be. This is due, no doubt, to two principal onuses. let. The Directorate is slow in attendiug to their duties and booming the vary exceltent Library. 2nd, People in this locality are apparently indifferent on acoount of not being enthused and acquainted with the advantages of hav- ing thousands of first -plass volumes at their disposal by the small expenditure of $1.00 annually. While Brussels may not be able to compete with the towns in this matter 11 should surely lend the villages and hamlets. To show our position wo subjoin bbe receipts for the miens In. stitutee in Huron for the past year :— Blyth, 8128 ; Brussels, $107 ; Clinton, 0190 ; Ethel, 002 ; Exeter, 0309 ; God. snot, $481 ; Gerrie, 0163 ; Hansell, $292 ; Seafot•th, 9870 ; St. Helens, 9188 ; Wingbam, 6126 ; Wroxeter, 9247. Special iudnccmeets should be offered to new menthes so as to get them {interest- ed ; a thorough canvas should be inetltu. cod in the town ; the pupils of tho pubiio eollools should be given privileges ; and a new and complete oatalR;ue placed in the hands of the people on receipt of the next lot of new books, The annual meet. ing will bo held in the Library lloom— over Mrs, Rogers' store—on Monday, May 1st, at 1 p. an. It is to be hoped that there will be a large and rcproeenta Live turn out so that progress may be re. ported from hbo time the Board ie elect- ed. In a plats° the size of Brussels there fe not only room for a good library but a night Schoch, Art oleeeas, aOo., under the auspices of the Mechanics' Institute, should flourish, OOomsmunaleraa interest bas been meek - onset in town over a desire to coo the in. duetries of the place in a more vigorous and flourishing condition. From oirnum. etanoes not neeeesary to °numerate et 15888ent the tide of seaman has been run- ning the wrong way as far as some of these inetltutions are concerned and es a village we have not, perhaps, done a great deal to aid them. Bonudee are out of the question and no ratepayer's mouth is watering very badly to vote on a By- ' 0..w 3y-law malting a loan but our proposition is this ;—Let a publlo meeting be called and a Bnsiuese Mons' Assouiatiun or. ganizadwhose duty it will be to devise ways and moans of aidingor developing the present industries of Brussels and es opportunity would oiler to eneourags out. eiders to locate hero. Money is an im- portant consideration in a men's busi- nese but the banding together of the leading men of a town or village in back. ing up an iudastry is also of paramount importance. There are a number of eiti- zees and property owners who would no doubt lend their assistanoe, such as 13, Gerry, Dr. Grabens, d. D. Ronald J. N. Randall,W. anet ne It. Smith, J Irwin, 1t (irehatn, Arent Bros,, 1V. D. Hart, It, Lsatherdalo, the members of the Council and a good many others whose names could bo mentioned. This arrangement works well in other places ander various names and in their work they deal with railway rates, postal taoili• ties, celebrations, fairs and anything and everything that will tend to improve their respective towns. A. spirit of unity with one object before such a Committee viz, the general interests of Brussels— would, or should, effect a radical change in more than ono instance. Mrs. Angus Campbrll, 16th con., is still in poor beaker. A new residence will be erected by Hugh Ramsay, 14th con. The Sunday school at Shine's school house will resume work ono week from next Sabbath, 90th inst., at 9:18 o'oloe15. W. A. Smith was at Clinton this week writing at the preliminary examination for candidates to the Methodist ministry. Wm. and Daniel Meehan, 18th eon., intend leaving this township for Algona where they will go ou a prospeoting tour. Charles Querengesser has purohasad a farm in Logan township and may re- move to it next Fall. In that event it is said his brother wonld run the sawmill. Quite an interest has been taken in the David Leith question of fortnne, as he and the Logan family were well known to a number of the people of the 16th eon. The many friends of Miss Anna Mo• Quarrie will be glad to hear that she is now nicely recovering from typhoid fever in Toronto. We hope she will soon be in ben usnal good health. Last Sunday Ilia B., the three months old daughter of Edward Sperain, 12th eon., died of bronchitis. The funeral took plane on Monday, the interment be- ing made at. Brussels cemetery. Rev. H. A. Newcombe, of Ethel, conducted the service. On Wednesday night of last week the barn of William work was struck by lightning. The outside rafter on the South side of the building was shivered into kindling bat very little other dam- age was done. It is supposed that an iron bolt atlacbed to the bay fork carrier attraaterl the lightning. It was a very close shave. )lire, Thee. 1lloLauoblin took a turn for the worse this week and is very lou'.

Miss Lizzie Sperain is the organist, It is said a Sunday school will also be started. In the absence of the pastor last Sunday Sam- uel Wherry took the service. On Wednesday nicht of last weak a Clydesdale mare belonging to William Brewer, 7th eon„ broke bar neck in the stable. It is not known how the acoi. dent happened but it is eupposed that the beast got her foot over the halter shank. Thursday morning else was found dead with her head to the rear of the stall and the halter broken. Mr. Brewer paid $281 for the mare when be bought her some yeare age. During the past Winter AIr. 13, sold off seven colts, averaging 860 for them, so was compelled to melte a purchase tide week owing to the un- fortunate loss of his fine big Clyde.
