He counsel- ed temperance workers everywhere to organize and go into the work with greater vigor and determination than ever, and they would yet have the satis- faction of seeing the very best fruits from their lab*. Mr. Scott, the solici- tor for the Aseociation, read over the objections to the petition for repeal, which had been filed with the Secretary of State on behalf of the Association. He also read a letter from Hon. Mr. Scott, of Ottawa, who is acting for the Association there,stating that he thought the Government could. not legally bring on t e repeal vote until the Act had bee in force for the full three years, and thet, therefore, this objection may hav influence with the Government, but the ther objections, he thought, would be egarded as purely technical, and worOcl be over -ruled. A resolution was introduced pledging the Convention to stand by and aid the Inspectors in their • wor. . This gave rise to quite an ani- matt d discussion, mainly on the point of allo ing subsequent offences to be tried as first cases. Messrs.

Of the result of his visit the Montreal Witnessays : " Concerning the special system o school ventilation, which he went on pi rpose to inspect, he is much pleased. It is, he says, so per- fect that in a large room, where warm air is introduced at one end and expelled at the other, there was not the differ- ence of a single degree of temperature between entrance and exit. The neces- sary sanitary arrangements are also so perfect that not a particle of smell was noticed, a great contrast to the public schools of Montreal, where the smell has Mil No the int ting sufficient reliable evidence, etc., on acc unt of the dread some had of g even supposed to be acting as rmers, and the frequent indisposition itnesses to testify against the ac - d, as they, as a rule, consider them- es partly responsible for the violations bei inf of sel of the law, as they unreality are. The Police Magistrate also gave a detailed ac- count of some of the cases coming before dif- tend nse, tent, he had nothing to do with that. He acted simply in the capacity of judge and took the information and complaint as he found it. A resolution was also carried recommending that hereafter the spirit of the law be adhered to in respect to second and third offences'which is that second and third offences be tried as such and not as first offences. The Executive Officers verbally tendered their resigna- tions, having been in •office for three years, but it was the unanimous wish of the Convention that they still remain, as it was deemed inadvisable to make a change at the present time. In compli- anee with this wish the officers gave their asaent,which seemed to afford very great satisfaction to all present. Mr. J. Thbmpson, of Clinton, was appointed first Vice -President in place of Dr. Wil- liams who had resigned, and Mr. W. J. Cl rke, of Exeter, was appointed second Vie -President. The Executive Com - mi tee were also authorised to appoint an Assistant -Secretary who it3 to receive a salary for his services. Arrangements were also made for thorough re -organi- zation ineeach local municipality with a view to, effective work when the repeal vote comes on, and arrangements were further made for raising the necessary money for the use of the Executive Com- mittee. On the whole, the meeting was a Very successful, satisfactory and en- thesiastic one and shows the temperance sentiment to be still vigorous in this county. In the evening a mass -meeting was held which was addressed by Rev. John Smith, of Toronto, and Rev. Father Chinoquy. Many of the dele- gates remained over for this meeting. The attendance was very large, and both gentlemen delivered powerful and con- vincing addresses, and we are sure that all who heard them must have gone forth stimulated to renew the battle in favor of temperance with increased energy and determination. him, which further went to show th ficuitiee the Inspectors have to co with.

There was 1 a large attendance, embrecing representatives from nearly eveey municipality in the County. The President of the 'Associa- tion, Mr. D. D. Wilson, presided. In his opening address he stated the object of the meeting was to effect a re -organi- zation so as to get the working temper- ance forces in full and vigorous op- eration in order to be- prepared for the threatened contest for the repeal of the Canada Temperance At, and also, to stir up the temperance people to give more efficient aid to the officers of the Government to secure a more efficient enfarcement of the Act. He said he felt he but expressed the feeling of every true temperance elector in the County when he said the Canada Temperance Act should not be repealed in Huron. He did not think it would be in the interests of society that it should be repealed. It is true it had not been as rigidly enforced as many would have liked and consequently had not been productive of es much good as it might otherwise have ; been, but, con- sidering the difficulties, legal and other- wise which had been raised up to pre- vent its efficient enforcement, he thought the friends of temperance had no cause for discouragement. Many of these difficulties have now been overcome and we are just getting the machinery in working order whereby a more efficient enforcement • may be ex- pected, and when we mayeehope to realize some of the benefits of the Act. This, therefore, is not the time to turn back and throw up the sponge, and lose all the ground we have gained, by per - week two extra passenger trains running each way. Wednesday morning three trains, all well loaded with passengers, went south between six and eight o'clock a. m. Ashtteld.

THE NEW MILL. -The mill which is now being erectedefor the Messrs. Mc- Donald will be 62x29e, feet, somewhat larger than the old one. The engine room is 16x60. Mr. Hiram Blanshard is overseer of the work. The raising of the building took place on Tuesday of this week. A large number were present and worked with great alacrity. A bounteous supper was provided at the Royal Exchauge. In the evening, games were played, some good music was rendered and a few indulged in dancing. The event of the day seemed to be pleasing and enjoyable to every one. GOOD TEACHERS. -Mr. Stanley Ander- son, who has been teaching at No. 2 section, Grey, for the past three years, will take charge of No. 1 school for the coming year. Mr. Anderson is a first- class teacher. His perseverance and energy have placed him among the best educated teachers in the Dominion, and his peculiar tact in imparting know- ledge to others is worthy of being imitated by many of our less energetic and enterprising masters. -Mr. C. Bow- ertna,n, teacher at No. 8 section will re- main another year. To give an idea of his ability as an instructor we will say that Miss Ella McNeil, one of his students, recently obtained a third class certificate. Under the thorough instruction imparted by Mr. Bowerman it is not necessary for a person to attend a High School or Collegiate Institute in order to become a teacher. Morgan's, merchant. After having told him his troubles and having understood from the citizen that accompanied him that the stranger was all right, and that it was impossible for him to get a rig from the livery as they were all out, Mr. Morgan decided to let him have his rig, and at once locked the store and went to the stable and hitched the animal up, and gave the man his buffalo robe and overcoat to keep him warm. On Sab- bath morning Mr. Waite, of the 10th concession of Hullett, drove over to tell Mr. Morgan that his horse was in his field: and thet a colt had been taken in exchange for it, although it was noe the one the scoundrel meant to take. Mr. Morgan at once got a rig and went to the held, and there found his horse and returned home with it in the afternoon. It is hardly likely he will hear of his buggy, harness, and robe again. Every - one feels sorry that Mr. Morgan should have been victimized by the scoundrel in such a manner. Turnberry. PERSONALS. -Mr. Geo. Nicholson has returned from Lanark, where he has been visiting friends and acquaintances of former days.

He made inquiries at the hotel where he was staying where horses were likely to be had. Said he had been buying down east for McGraw Bros., a well-known wealthy lumbering firm of Michigan. Friday he went out to Robertson's, Gooier's, Thos. Mason's'Barr's, Hill's and others, in Hullett,and bought horses from several of them, and agreetito meet them at 4 o'clock Saturday in Clinton to complete his purchases. The 'farmers came, but the buyer did not. Instead of coming to Clinton he went to Blyth. There he borrowed a horse, buggy, robe and overcoat from Mr. John Morgan. The next that is heard of him he put in an appearance at Mr. Manning Hill's in Ilullett, and not liking Mr. Morgan's horse he left it in a field and took a more valuable one from Mr. Hill. That the horse thief and the bogus horse buyer are one and the same is shown, by his foot marks which left the imprint of a heart formed of tacks in the soles of his boots. He was heard to drive through Clinton about 3 o'clock Sunday Morning. Mr. D. B. Kennedy bad his suspicion about the fellow, as he did not *ant any one to drive out with him, nor did he want to have anything to say to genuine buyers that are in town. The thief is a medium sized man, rather light complex- ion, and when here had a short reddish brown beard, and was dressed in grey clothes.
