tainment to raise fiinds teassist in main-
taining and increasing the efficiency of
our excellent fire brigade.
ADDRESS AD PRESENTA.TION.-2-A very
pleasant event took place in the vestry
of t. James' Church, Seaforth, on Mon-
dak afeernoon last. The occasion was
the presenting of an address and present
to Miss McDonald, who, for four years,
had discharged the duties of organist of
the Iriehtown Church, and for the last
• six years of St. Jarnes' Catholic Church,
Seaforth. • The address was read by Miss
Marie Killoran, and the presentation
was made, on behalf of Miss, McDonald's
pupils and friends, by Miss Mary Walsh.
The presents consisted of a fine brooch,
a set of ear rings, and a pair of bracelets,
• leesides- a beautiful morocco purse, con-
taining -a handsome sum of money. The
, jewelry Was of solid gold, set with
precious stones, and of exquisite workt
inanship, and was made expressly foe
the °chasten. •The address was couched
in °the most friendly and affectionate
ternas. Miss McDonald made a feeling
And touching reply, expressing the deep

Revd& Messrs. Cameron, of Kippen,
Denby, of Varna, Scott, of Egmondville,
Goldsmith, of Seifortht and Thomson,
of MoKillop. The Seaforth choir, under
the leadership of Mr. Cline, with Miss
Nettie Goldsmith at the organ, well sus-
tained the musical part of the entertsin-
ment. In refreshments there was an
abundance of the very best, and to spare,
notwithstanding that the attendance was
so much larger than the most sanguine
anticipated. The emcees which attend-
ed the openieg services of the church
must be most gratifying to the managers
and the congregation generally, and we
trust it is an augury of the prosperity
which awaits the congregation in the
future.

evening, long to be held in fond remem-
brance, was spent in profitable amuse-

pointed for the entertainment to com-
mence, the entire sitting room of the
spacious church was crammed, and those

in the forenoon of Tuesday, Mr. Edward
Campaigne, jailor, departed this life at
the age of 44 years and 11 months.1 This
annooncement will be received with
profound regret by his many friends
throughout the county. A more genial,
warm-hearted person it would be difficult
to find, and as a consequence he had
many sincere friends aremeg those whom
his lot threw hin in contact with. In
his official capacity he manifested a love
of discipline, which, coupled with his
warm-heareedness and. remarkable
strength, maintained excellent order in
the jail as well as in its general appoint-
ments as in the conduct of the prisoner&
His great strength dicl good service on
many occasions in controlling refractory
prisoners, and once or twice by his activ-
ity a 'general jail delivery was prevented.
The deceased was a native of Ireland,
having been born in Dublin in 1831.
Whet' about 11 years old he accompan-
ied his father to this _country, settling
in Packenham, Lanark county, at first,
and finally removing to Goderich in 1851.
During his early residence here'Mr.
Campaigne was employed with the North
Shore Surveying Company. For some
fourteen years he acted as turnkey in
the jail, and at the -death of Mr. Robert-
son was promoted to the office of jailor
in 1865. He.Fas a member a the first
Artillery Company, and was on duty
during the yeer of the Ridgeway Fenian
Raid. The deceased was a prominent
member of the Masonic fraternity, being
a Past Master of Maitland Lodge 112,
and holding a high position in Huron
Chapter No. 30, Royal Arch Masons.
He was very well posted in Masonic lore,
and took an active interest in the welfare
Of the body. His death was (rite unex-
pected. For some time he complained
of illness, but it was only on Wednesday
last that he took to bie bed, with a com-
bined attack of inflammatioh of the
lungs, typhoid fever and pleurisy. He
gradually grew worse until Monday
night, when a favorable turn occurred,
but a relapse on Tuesday morning re-
sulted in his 'death, after much suffering
which he bore with much resignation.
He leaves a wife and five children to
mourn his untimely end, who have the
sincere sympathy of the community.
Many will murmur feelingly, as they
remember his genial countenance and.
his hearty grip. Requiescat in pace.
Stanley.
INFORMATION GIVEN AND DESIRED.—
Mr. Editor, —Dear Sir: I noticed in a
communication in your paper a short
time ago, over the signature of William
Plunkett, a statement to the effect that
a gentleman came to my house and wrote
a long letter for THE EXFOSITOR, in re-
ply to the now memorable fly -sheet.
Now, Sir, I wish to inform Mr. Plunkett,
and all others concerned, that this state-
ment is at variance with truth, as no let-
ter was ever written in my house or in
my pretence in reply to said fly -sheet.
In another letter from the same person,
published more recently, the insinuation
is made that I promised a certain person
the position of clerk if I secured my elec-
tion. This statement is on a par with‘
the former one, and I challenge Mr.
Plunkett to the truth of his assertions
or to remain forever under the stigma of
being known as a willful falsifier. Mr.
Plunkett further says the "fly -sheet" in
question contained more truth than it
got credit for. Now, Sir, I have been
trying for the last year to find out who
the author of that fly -sheet 'is, or who
circulated it, but all my efforts have,
thus far, been in vain. If, therefore;
Mr. Plunkett will give me this informat
tion, I am prepared to compel the author
of it to show in a court of law how inuch
truth there was in it. If Mr. Plunkett
would endeavor to reform his morals and
would mind his own husiness it would
be.more profitable for him than writing
lying letters for the public press, and
miserable, cringing, sniveling private let-
ters of apology to me and others in the
township whom he has slandered. His
purpose, however, in this latter enter-
prise is well understOod, and will not
have the desired effect. Yours, &c.,
GEORGE ANDERSON.
CHALLEN GE. —Mr. Eclitor.—Sir :
As Mr. Plunkett was the first to wish
to change the mode of warfare, therefore
it is but right that he should name the
time and place at which the debate shall
be held. This 1 hereby challenge him to
do and "P am his man." The debate
must, of course; take place upon the
grounds which he took in his first letter,
viz.: "That the affairs of the township
were never better managed than they
have been this year." REVIEWER.

•
The Dunkin Act.
To the Editor of the nwron Expositor.
DEAR Sen: I would like, with your
consent to say a few words in the way
of reply, through your valuable paper to
a letter in your issue of last week, and
purporting to emanate froni some Good
Templar who signs himself "Observer."
The design of that letter is to influence
the County Council for the Dunkin 13t11.
Now, this letter cannot fail to appear
before any person of figures and reason
to, be "one of the grossest absurdities
ever found afloat in the nineteenth cen-
tury. It should be "xegttrded by the
masses as a public insult to all moral,
religious, and common sense intelligence,
if for nothing more than the way the fin-
ances are misconstrued in it.? The first
argumeet the letter has for the Dunkin
Bill or prohibition, is that n loss would
be sustained by parties who have invested
their money in erecting houses for publicaccommodetion. • It is plain there is no
foundation whatever in this argu-
ment. There 'are not any more public
houses in the Cotinty than are required
for public aecommodation, and the re-
quirements of the travelling community,
which is shown by these places being
amply sustained. And the landlords,who
are the beat judger', maintain they could
not be kept up in their present efficiency
without the sale of liquor. I raight refer
to. the few public, temperance limes iii
support of this fact. There is one I have
heard of in a back country in the County
of Hastings, said to be equal to any in
Seaforth. I have, also read ot one in a
small village called Hilton, but the land-
lord has to keep groceries instead of a.
bar. In the city of Toronto there is An-
other one celled the Robinson House,
the last one I knciw of. There may be
'other temperance houses in the country,
but like angel's visits they are fewand far
between. But it would be only wasting
words and time to no purpose; for any
thinking mind on this subject will readi-
ly understand that men are not fools
enough in a town with the population of
Seaforth, to build And sustain for years
taverns, unless patronized by the farm-
ing community and travellers, and con-
sider itimpertinent in teetotalers to med-
dle with what they have no right to.
The next noticeable point adduced by
this letter in favor of the Dunkin Bill is
as much exaggerated as the fitat point
was. The statement is that the,. publite
houses do not contribute under theepres-
ent license system $10,000 yearly fdr lo-
cal purposes. • Let us see if this is really
so. Take the town of Seaforth as an ex-
ample. Now, there are seven- licenses
granted here, and each pays $200, which
makes $1,400 in all in this little municipal-
ity. Of course, in Thurlow it may be dif-
ferent, but we know this to be a fact in
Seaforth, and we I also know it to be a
fact that not $10 of this amount ia paid
to drunken paupers. And if oer rulers whether you buy or not. Wholesale
were so inclined We might out • of this ••
large sum raised, "contribute to charit-
able institutions, and. thereby aide the• Buyers, Hotel Keepers, and Large Buy-.
cause of Christ." This same rule -will ers liberally dealt withet
apply to towns and, cities, saying noth-
ing about the value of the time lost by •
temperance lecturers parading their
point claimed in favor of the Dunkin A LOT OF TAPESTRY CARPETS
notions around the country. The next
Bill is that it will decrease the adminis-
tration of justice, which statement ap-
pears in a day favored with too much
light on the subject to be received by
the masses es correct, whether, indeed,
it is believed by the writer is a question.
It is freely admitted as a rule by all that
very few ef the real crimes committed.

John Weir, do. $9 38; John Alexander this point will be speedily removed by a
careful perusal of the statistic e of Huron.
The only law breaking which we can call A. 'G.• MoDOUGALL
to mind in connection with liquor drink-
ing is that some nineteen tavern keepers
were fined $20 each and had to pay every
cent of the costs of their own prosecu-
tion. I wonder who would say in the
face of this fact that the County was at
. the loss of one cent, but rather its funds
increased by the nice snug sum of $380.
The letter claims that public drinking is
bed, but how much more debasing will
be secret intemperance when our young
men will be in the hen.ds solely of those
who will have no regard for law or order.
"Observer" tries to make out there will
be no costs incurred in submitting the
Dunkin Bill. Perhaps noe, but the County
accounts will show a different atory.
Concerning the 100 idle' tavern keepers
who will be put to work ae $400 a year
when the Dunkin Bill is carried is a poser.
I suppose your correspondent will have
none butwidows to keep. his model tem-
perance housee.

—A correspondent of the Brussels Post,
in referring to the feeling about the Dun-
kin Bill, in Grey township, s ys : A great
many are of the opinion, th t it is almost
impossible to stop, the sale Of liquor;
while. it is allowed to be manufactured
• and imported. Should. the Act become
law, we will no doubt have lots of "Tem-
perance Hotels, conducted on the same
principles probably as the medal temper-
ance hotels of Vermont, when the Maine
liquor law wee in full force there. Judge
C— was on a journey in N'reteriont , at
the time when the law was in full blast.
He stopped at a tavern in the town of
for the night, where the following
took place. After supper the judge ask-
ed the worthy landlord for a glass of gin,
the landlord said he evas Sorry he could
not accommodate him. ' "I am obliged
by law to keep a Temperance House,"
• he said. It was late' lo the judge could
not go on that night, but told the land-
lord he would. leave early next morning
• before breakfast. "Very well; I will
carry your valise and show you to your
room., ' There the judge found a bottle
of brandy. He then went to his wash
• stand and opened it; he there found a
bottle of in, water, glasses, &c. The
judge, after helping himself, went down
and told the landlord he would not
• leave early after breakfast. The next
morning the judge paid his bill and said
in a cheerful tone; "I have been a great
• Opposer of temperance houses, and I al-
ways refused to stop at one, but I rather
like the hang of yours, and will all
whenever 1 come this way." The land-
lord replied, "I'm sorry I could not let
you have some gin last evening, but the
law is so strict, and my neighbors keep
close watch, so I am obliged to keep a
temperance house.", ' •
