Tho strong point of ar- gument was seceession from Coifed. oration. It is thought by many that the elections iu the east aro a fore- runner of what the result of the Do. minion elections will be. Time will toll, However. NOTICE TO EAST HURON REFORMERS. The attention of every Reformer in the Riding who has received by mail, a notice to strike his name off the Dominion voters' list, is requested to send notice to either F. S. Scott or E. E. Wade, Brussels P. 0., at once so that their interests may be prop- erly attended to. WE think it would bo wisdom on the part of the Council of Brussels to plane the $250 received from Morris township, in connection with the Land Improvement Fund, in some investment towaid creating a sinking fund to meet the debentures held against the town, as they mature. The same should be done with the. monies to be received from Grey and Morris. .It will require a heavy rate to wipe of this indebtedness unless time is taken by the forelock and preparation made for these payments. Of course it is often thought to be in the interests of the town to keep the local rate down, as it is, but this thing may be run in the ground by straining at a gnat. We think the majority of the ratepayers will agree with us in this proposition to estab- lish a fund to meet debts already con tracted and this Land Improvement Fund money, coming in the shape of a grant, should be made use of in a manner best calculated to further the interests of the people of Brussels. Tne much talked of and expensive law suit of Brussels vs. Ronald is in a fair way to a settlement. The Council have met Mr. Ronald several times and conversed on this subject and both parties appear to be not only satisfied to drop law but a unit 0E1 agreeing on the following basis of settlement :—The suit is to be with. drawn ; Mr. Ronald pays the sum of $1,100 to the Treasurer of the cor- poration and in return the mortgage, liens, d;c., held by the town on the foundry are struck off. The best manner of settling the affairs has been discuseed and decision given in favor of a special Aot of Parliament by the Local House. Mr. Ronald signs an agreement to pay all the ex- penses of the i ettlemeut. We imag- ine this way of disposing of a matter that has caused a great deal of annoy- ance and expense and that has been for years before the respective Ooun. cils will meet with the approval of the intelligent ratepayers of Brnesels. There may be a few kickers, but some people can't do anything else but hick so we will allow them their way. In case thia arrangement were not made, then the electors aro saddled with $1,- 100 in ono lump, to pay the costs al- ready incurred. We feel assured the proposed settlement will be the wiser plan for Brussels and it may place Mr. Ronald in such a position as will enable.hrm to do a much larger busi- ness and consequently prove advan- tageous to our town. Ethel. Mies Charlotte and Master Bennie Davies left for Brantford this week to visit friends. The register shows an attendance of 100 pupils at the public school last week.

DEAR Sin. -At a meeting hold in he Orange Hall on Tuesday, June 5111, a bill of insultation was present - d to the W. M. with a charge against Fox for insulting Alto Willis. fuer the charge was read the defend- nt declared that he was not guilty of toll a charge and that he had good ubstaatial reasone to have insulted im in a different manner. E. Fox as belonged to the institution for a cod many years but saw too many the troubles in connection with the' rder, never taking any heed of what assed between the two members. t the same time if a little more ought and knowledge had been ne- on the plaintiff's side there would ave been nothing about it.
