CAur'tos.—We deny the statement in the last issue of THE PORT, in acl3 by our opposi- tion,about being "ahead in drugs." Ito probably believes he is stating the truth; however, we would caution the public against accepting such an erroneous state- ment, While we regret the pride and lack of modesty that prompted the assertion, wo are pleased to notice that he accepts so good-naturedly 0 second place in other lines. Possibly he may deny this,but thea the truth will still remain. I have always endeavored to keep a full stook of such goods as we handle, We sell nothing but rim and reliable drugs, and as for prices, we wilt not be undersold. The lines the handle are drugs, and all pertaining to them, books of various kinds, stationary and school requisites, wall paper, toys and fancy goods, Berlin wools, etc. Do not be afraid to ask for anything you may require, as we have many goods which it to impos- sible to show. We either have them or cam procure them for yon, and, withal, we have not, nor do we intend to accept, a second place in those lines that we sell, We will guarantee good goods, low prices and fair, honest dealing.

SCOTT AOT.—Last Tuesday more- ing the Central hotel and Revere House were searched node„ the pro- visions of the eteott Aot. A hog of "spruce" wits eu'lureal behind the bar by Constable Scott at the former place, and some 30 or more gallons of liquor of various hinds at the latter. Walter Smith and Adam Angus, who went to the Central with Scott, were not received very courteously by the proprietor who politely walked them to the door. In the other case the warrant -was placed in the hails of D. Lowery and be was assisted by R. Malcolm and W. Iiarlry. On rosist- enco beiug offered J. Reid was called upon to help search. Lowery was sworn in by one magistrate instead of two and consequently an action for trespass is talked of by the proprietor of the Revere. Tho liquor was taken back to Mr, Hall during the afternoon but he refused to receive it, so it is still in possession of the constable. The Soott Act oases are called for 10 o'clock on Friday of this week. PUBLIC 1\IEETING.—The monthly meeting, held under the auspices of the Brussels Scott Act Association, assembled in Knox church ou Wed- nesday evening. Rev. S. Jones took charge of the program, whioh consist- ed of tt very interesting address by the chairman on the religious aspect of the temperance workers. This was followed by a fine speech from Rev. W. T. Clutf, that had the right ring in it. After singing, the following resolution was moved by B, Gerry, seconded by Alex. Stewart and ens• tained by Rev. J. Ross, B.A., the throe making short but very practical speoohes:— We, the inhabitants of Brussels and vi- cinity, have learned with regret and alarm of the action of the Senate in so amending the "Canada Temperance Act of 1878" (Scott Act) as to permit the sale ander it of light wines and beer; we regard such ac- tion as in direct antagonism to the moral and material interests of our laud ; and, inasmuch as said amendmoats would de- prive the people of their just right to de- clare whether the traffic in intoxicating quer shall be prohibited among then[ or not, we emplutically denounce the amend. manta as an outrage upon our liberties, strongly condemn the action of tits Senate in passing them, and const earnestly call upon the House of Commons to refuse its concurrence to said amendments, but rather to so alter the Aot as to make it still more restrictive in its ohmmeter ; and further, we pledge ourselves, in tho event of the Senate's present amendments be- coming law through the action of the Com- mons, to put forth our united and most strenuous efforts at the next general elec- tion to secure the return to parliament of suuh persons only as will pledge themselves to prohibitory legislation. The resolution was then carried by a unaoitnous, standing vote. Tho doxology and benediction brought this interesting service to a close.
