On Thursday of last work the Clinton cricket club drove to Brussels to play the return Association match. Owing to the heavy rain the gamo was not played, al- though some of the visitors seemed willing to take rubber coats and umbrellas and go on with the ploy. Tho Clintonians left for home in the evening but getting as far as Blyth they put up for the night and tele- graphed book to Brussels that they would return on Friday morning and play the mato&, So on the morning named back they came and although the day Ivan cold (socold that ono of the umpires had on two shirts, a vest, and three coats, in his en- deavor to keep warm) and occasional show- ers foil, the wickets worn pitched and Brus- sels went to bat. Doopito all that was un- favorable the home team endeavored to make it as interesting as pgosaiblo for the visitors and consequently D. Boss made 3.2 runs, Dr. McNaughton 10, J. Boss 26, H. Dennis 13, and 8.3I. Laird 20, besides the smaller scores made by the other members of the eleven. Tho innings totalled 90 be- fore tho last otump fell. The Clinton boys then undertook to wield the willow, but with the exception of MoGarvie, who put 16 rums together very nicely, no eland was rade and the last man went out with the score standing 88. One innings decided the matoh. It is thought the chief reason the Clinton boys were so keen to play was on account of tho recent match with Sea - forth, in which the club of that town, aid- ed by a couple of Wiunipeggers, did our boys up for a very small more, but if the Clinton cricket club can take any consola- tion out of that as they look at the snore of 88 to 99 and 5 goose. eggs," they are wel- come to it. Brussels has only lost cue As- sooiation match this summer. We sub- join the score of Friday's match, it will make a sloe companion to the last soon, showing what our boys can do when they wake op to their work. We would suggest that the County Association purchase a stook of overcoats, scarfs, mite and fur caps if any more cricket is to be played this year or else arrange to have better weather.

To the Oommissionere, License In- spectors, Chide of Police and Oen. stables in 0011011es and pities in which the Canada Temperance Aot, 1878, lute been adopted :— Complaints have from time to time reached the Government through the public press and otherwise to the ef- fect that the Canada Temperance Aot, 1878, is not efficiently enforced in some localities, and Inopeotore have also complained that constabu- lary do not in all oases render them the aid they leave a tight to expect in the enforcement of the law. In a former oiroular, Inspectors were in- structed that it was their duty to 800 that the several provisions of the Canada'Temperance Act, 1878, wore enforced in their distriots ; that they were to bo specially vigilant in the prosecution of. offenders for infrac- tions of the Aot, and not to wait for others to make 'complaint ; and they were also required to perform suoh neoessary detective aortic') as their position would allow. In again call- ing tho attention of Inspectors to these instructions, the undersigned begs to remind them that the enforce- ment of the Canada Temperance Aot is the single object for which :hey have been appointed, and if that duty ie neglected, thea the ground for their appointment ceases to exist. It is the duty of police and constables to aid in ilio enforcement of the law, not only by rendering necessary assist-. once to the officers changed with en- forcing a particular law, but also by themselves prosecuting where an offence is brought to their knowledge. 1n many places the Inspectors cora- plain that the constables refuse to serve sutii0X1005, orexecute warrants in oases of violation of tho Canada Temperance ,Act. The undersigned desires to impress upon all constables that by the obligation of their office, they aro in duty bound. to act in all eases when called upon by the con- stituted authorities to that end. I 'OST. BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, OCT. 22, 1886. again urgently Ball the attention of tbo Commissioners and Inspectors to the desirability of impressing upon the minds of the Justioee D1 Session the importance of appointing in eauh mltnieipallty one or more constables in sympathy with the Aot and its duo enforcement. This will be found to be a most efficacious mode of emir- ing the observance of the law, or its enforcement against those who vio- late it. The refusal of magistrates to act in cases arising under the Aot is a 8ouro0 of embarrassment in some districts. Inspectors will please no- tify the Department promptly when magistrates refuse to act or when those willing to not cannot be found. Your obedient servant, ARTHUR S. HARDY. Prov. Secretary.

Ono of the interesting, if not the moat oxeiting, features of the show held at Newry, was a football match between the Trowbridge team and the Elvia Stars, which resulted in a vie. tory for the Mars by a score of 5 goals to 0, The Trowbridge boys wore short; throe outsiders had therefore to bo taken in, which may bo partly the reason of so bad a defeat. The .match was contested with the utmost goodfeeling betveoon the two teams. The following aro the names of the playe re :—goal, 1;t, Hamilton ; haulm, NO. 16 J. Robinson, R, Brown; half-baoke, J.

The Markdale Standard vouches for the truth of the following story :— "One evening recently near St. Marys, a lady was out for a stroll, and suddenlly mime on a huge rattle- snake by the roadeide. She with- drew hastily and gave the alarm to the family, five or six boys and a quarter dozen of girls with the old gentleman, who all surrounded the reptile, armed. to the teeth with pitch- forks, axes and pieces of rails. They were immediately re -enforced by a largo family who lives opposite, which strengthened their courage, but still the excitement ran high. One of the crowd, a strong and brave young man, thought of hie double-barrel gun, hastened for it, crept cautiously as near the moneler as he thought safe, took careful and deliberate aim, off she went ; the monster gave one bound and fell apparently lifeless. One of the brava party ventured near enough to reach it with a ten foot pole, while the crowd held their po- sition a safe distance book ready for an encounter, e,s they strongly sus - pouted the wiloy and deadly reptile ,might be only waiting quietly to have revenge. This brave, however, found that the shot had proved fatal, but to their dismay and chagrin it was a large girth that had fallen off a broachy horse. David Kennedy, father of the Ken- nedy family, Scottish vocalists, died at the Windsor hotel, Stratford, Wed- nesday morning of last week; from an attack of dysentery. He .hadbeen ailing for two or three weeks past, but kept hie engagements uutil a week be- fore his death, wheu he reached Strat- ford, and under medioal advice decid- ed to rest for a -While,' His remains were taken to Edinburgh for inter -- Ment, and, accompanied by his fam- ily, left for Rimouoki, thence by steamship . Parisian. Mr. Kennedy was a native of Perthshire, where he was born 61 years and six months ago, and from his grandmother. in- herited his love of song. His family surroundings were eminently caleu- lated to foster in him his inherent love of song, as ,from his earliest years his ears were made familiar with the plaintive minstrelsy , and, sacred song of his native land. In 1857 he was appointed precentor in the U. P. church, in Nicholson -et., Edinburgh. About this time his fu- Lure life began to foreshadow itself to. him, and from that time forth he be- gan to fit himself for his noble call.: ing. Ho made hie flret public ap- pearance in Buooleuch Hall, Edin- burgh, in 1860, in a series of twelve concerts, during which he sang 150 songs, The most flattering mimosa greeted him and during the next six years his voice was familiar even in the most remote hamlets of the Brit- ish Isles. In 1866 he made his first trip aoroes the Atlantic, spending throe years in Canada and the States. Space will not permit us to epoak of his repeated journoyings in many lands during these many years. His unique genius has cheered the Soot- tish exile under the burning skies of Africa, in India, and in the far anti- podes. Mr. Kennedy was a mission- ary of the highest order and diliioult- i0s were by him regarded as things but to be overcome, as his Afrioan tour, a description of which was writ- ten by his son David, whose easy death occurred last year, abundantly testifies. Pie was thoroughly imbued with the greatness of his miasma, and had raised his profession to the dignity of an aro. A man did not need to be a Sootohman to appreciate the beaut- ies of iBurns, Hogg, and Tannehill, with Mr. Kennedy as Weir exponent. His facial expressions were nob simply a mask assumed for the mission, but a true poreonifleatiou of the poet's idea, and wo believe that for the time Mr. Kennedy was absorbed body and soul in the character he personated. This is the secret amens in the vocal as well as dramatics arta.

SoaoE'smnt should be done to stop persona from peddling joints of moat through the town. The idea of men being allowed to oomo into town with a buggy load of beef or mutton, wrap- ped tip in a horse blanket or buffalo robe, and peddle meat from house to house and take the trade of our but. oilers, who pay taxes and help keep up the trade of the place, is not square and eboald not be allowed. People should think of this, let those top buggy ipeddlers either sell by the quarter or not at all, and buy their meat fresh and tidy from our hutch- ere.
