Scott, ght Nru5stlz 41t 5t, FRIDAY, :1I:LY 13, 1887. THE Temperance Convention at Clin- ton this week selected a man of sound judgment and with a quickness of percep- tion not possessed by many, when the lot fell on Dr. Williams, mayor of Clinton. Ile has been a very successful man in his profession and has always token an active interest in every question effecting the public good. There were a lot of good men before the Convention but in select- ing Dr. Williams, looking at it front all sides, the best selection was made. It is tc be hoped the Government will not be slow in ratifying the appointment as in the East Riding i; appears to be a dif- ficult matter to secure a magistrate to hear the cases in the ]Hands of the Inspect- or, Magistrates who refuse to do their duty or make seleotions of cases should ask to have their commission cancelled. Mn. CARarrn, the M. P. for East Bruce, has introduced a Bill for the repeal of the Scott Aot. We subjoin his speech and it is a little amusing to read the great (?) discoveries he has made "As I am it new member of thie House I hope hon. gentlemen will pardon me if I commit any breach of parliamentary etiquette, I may give a few reasons why I propose asking for leave to introduce this Bill. My riding. the east riding of Bruce, opposed the introdnotion of the Scott Act. In the whole county it was carried by a considerable majority. The east riding of Bruce was opposed to it, but had to submit, owing to the majority of the whole county being in its favor. Now, these people feel aggrieved, and my own convictions are that the beneficial results anticipated from the introduction of the Scott Act have not beau realised in the general interests of the county, and therefore I ask for he repeal. I know that municipalities which formerly de- rived a revenue from hotels now get no revenue from that source. In conse- quence of the passage of the Act, muni- cipalities have had to reduce the assessed valve on hotel property about one-half, end when this is the case in municipalit- ies where the people are opposed to the Act, we consider it a very serious griev- ance. I therefore ask for the repeal of the Scott Ant. Sonia people, of course, consider that the Act is a means which will ultimately bring about beneficial re- sults in the interests of temperance. For myself, I do not think that legislation of this kind is at all conducive to temper- ance-moralsuasion is much better. I know that, in driving through municipal- ities where beer is very largely used. I find the agricultural population in a mush better condition, financially and other- wise, than in municipalities where they have adopted the Scott Aot. I think that is a very good argument that the use of beer is no obstruction to the progress of the agricultural or aur other community. As have introduced this Bill for the purpose of having it discussed, and hear- j the pros and cons at a further stage of I the proceedings, I shall then be able fur- ! they to explain the Bill, after reading np and getting as much information on the subject as possible." This Mr. Cargill was elected over Mr. Wells very largely on the understanding that he was a tempera nee man, Scott Act man, prohibitionist or anything else to farther sobriety, but he has an axe to grind so he throws his temperance prim ' ciples to one side and comes out fiat -foot- ed against his own promises. The Scott Aot may not have worked t0 the satis- faction of a great many but it would be a step in the wrong direction to have it re- pealed. friends. Jas. Gillespie has received the contract for moving and rebuilding the fence on. the Fair Grounds, Tho band has ebouged theirpractising rooms during the summer months to the Agricultural Hall, Lawn tennis and cricket clubs have beau organized 10 town. Lots of evert for the boys this year. 0. Hamilton is getting his storehouse re -painted and when finished will greatly improve the looks of the place. Ino. S. McKinnon, who has been at- tending the Busiuese College, in Toronto, for some time, returned to town on Satur- day last. The general stock of R. J. McGill was sold at London on Tuesday, by auction, Messrs. Anderson di Elder, of this place were the purchasers at 72 Dents on the dollar. Jue. McNeil who has been lately in the employ of R. J. McGill left for Toronto on Friday afternoon last where he has secured a good position in the carpet de- partment of .1. Eaton di Co. (Inc base ball club had not been organ- ized over a week and received a challenge this week to play a friendly game with Luoknow on the Lucknow grounds on the 24th of May. Go boys, don't take a back seat for any club in the county. The Blyth Lawn Tennis Club has been reorganized for the season, with the fol. lowing officers :-Hon. President, Rev. J. 1'.

WHAT WE HAT EXPECT. -That Will. will call on all the let prima in jumping in Exeter on the 24th, and that Mat. will probably accompany him. -That the young ladies won't give their "mashers" the mitten during the ice cream season. - That the band will play out once a week. -That we will have the C. P. R. through our town. -That Sam. and Fred. will soon retire from the list of the old bsoh• Blore. On Sunday last the Rev. 0. Chiniquy occupied the pulpit in the Presbyterian church and delivered two excellent ad- dressees, morning and evening. The evening following he gave an address to an immense audience, who listened to hien attentively. Tho church during the services on the Sabbath were so pack- ed with people that several were unable to gain admittance. Mr. Chinittuy is very far advanced in years but hie age does not effect him as a speaker. He handles the subject he has to deal with in a flrstcclass manner. Mr. Chiniqny is lecturing through this part of the coun- try and no doubt will be the means of doing much good. Canadian No WK. The population of Sandwich is 1,166. It is understood that M. A. McHugh, of Windsor, will bo appointed junior judge of Essex county. Thedford Presbyterians are exercised over theorgen question, and a recent vote resulted 32 to 20 in favor of the instru- ment. In tho estimates brought down by Sir Charles Tupper, 850,000 is asked for the new Military School, in London, and 622,000 for the Customs House. The Woodstock Sentinel -Review says I the total number of buildings under way I in that place is 118 almost all of them dwelling houses; and their probable cost , 6163,450. Up to date SG clubs have joined the Canadian Lacrosse Association. Others have announced their intention of join - tug, but have not yet made formal appli. cation. The Chatham Planet says; there is some talk of forming a junior baseball league, embracing Sarnia, Petrolea, Wat- ford and Strathroy, and possibly the Beavers or Maroons, of London. A boy named McMillian disappeared from Carsdale, Long Lake, in July last, and is believed to have been stolen by Indian. Isis relatives have requested the police authorities at Regina to look into the matter. Sarah Ellen Molland, of tiie Montgom- ery House, London township, was ar- rested the other day for non-payment of a Scott Act fine, the penalty in default being two mouths in jail. Her fine was subsequently paid and she was released. Rev. Dr. Cochrane closed the 25th year of his pastorate of Zion Presbyterian church, Brantford, on Sunday. From a small beginning the membership of the church is now one of the largest in the denomination in Canada, being 630. Dur- ing his pastorate the doctor has received some2,300 into fellowship. The following appointmente of police magistrates for Scott Act counties have been made: Leeds and Grenville, James C. Judd, barrister, of Brookville; Lanark, Duncan Kippen, of Perth ; Brant, James Grace, of Brantford ; Muskoka, William Henry Spencer, of Bracebridge. Minto farmers ate suffering heavy loss- es front a peculiar fatal epidemic among- st their hogs. Within a few days John Wallace lost 11 ; W. Pike, 7 ; Ed. Hol- land, 11; M. Densmore, 11 -John Topin, 5 ; L. Piddum, 11; John Sothern, 9 ; I. Cousins, 14 ; T. Wallace, sow and litter ; W. Lawrence, 8 ; James Vallis, 11 ; P. Kean, 9 ; G. Rainey, sow and litter ; John Bell, sow and letter. A peculiar and lamentable state of things, which threatens the extinction of the canine family in Windsor, has been developed by the returns of dogs licenses in that place. On the face of the books there appear to be upwards of 500 male and only two female dogs in the town. It is possible that the difference in the amount of the license fee charged for the different "pureassions" may have some. thing to do with the matter. The gopher and the best means of ef- fecting its destruction is a prominent subject for discussion in the Manitoba newspapers. One exchange contains the following news item :-"The farmers of Welwood propose to have a general gopher hunt someday, as soon as seeding is over. Sidee will be chosen, the fields scoured over, and when the slaughtered innocents are piled ug and counted in the evening, the losing sidee is to pay for the supper for all: :rural ton . Spring work is well advanced and the beautiful weather of the past week has made everything grow splendidly. Our railroad prospects are nipped in the bud as the C. P. R. authorities will not give any satisfaction as to what their intentions are concerning the road west of Guelph. The removal of the through line of stage from Brussels to Seaforth would be very much missed here and would be a move in the wrong direction and no sav- ing to the Poet Office Department. J. McDonald, of this place, has gone to Winnipeg this week, via the Canada Pac- ific Railway and steamer. and clave fare from Brussels to Winnipeg is very low this season and several more from this locality tally of going west. .Blvtie. R. J. McGill was in London this week. A, Murdock, of Hensall, was in town this week. Miss Elia McKinnon was in Clinton last week, We are pleased to see our old friend, Geo. King, around again. Our eobool teaohers are attending the convention in Wingham this week. J. W. Cunningham, of St.Pauls, 14liun., is et present visiting friends in town. R. Sellars and wife spent a few days in the neighborhood of Mitchell this week. The citizens of Blyth do not purpose celebrating Her Majesty's Birthday here this year. We regret to learn that George B. Rowels at present indisposed and con. tined to hie bed. Wo hope he will soon recover and be around again. THE BRUSSELS POST VILLAGE OV I nussuLti COURT OF REVISION.
