As will be noticed by the report
of the County Council proceedings in
e another column the mefabers of that
body have sliown.themselves to be
friends of temperance. We heartily
congratulate the majority for the
stand they have taken Cue • this ques-
tion.

ef Froma• list of contributors up to
if Jan..1880, to the Ryerson Memorial
Fund, just received,. we find that
South Huron has contributed the sum
of $99.83, and North Huron the enol:
mous sum of $340: At least .$2,000
more will be required so as to enable
the committee to . erect a suitable
memorial to the distinguished founder
of our system of National Education.
The Ontario Medical Assocation at
their meeting at London last week
adopted a report which affirms that
the use of alcoholic liquors as bever•
ages by healtliy. ersens is not bene-
ficial; that ` the indisoriminace use of
them by persons not in health is' not
berefieial;..that alcoholic liquors should
not be prescribed'by,medioctl men ex-
cept in emergencies, and' that the
medical p' ofession is opposed to the
indiscriminate sale of such liquors
The Methodist annual conferences
were in session last week in Brantford,
Owen Sound, Port Fl ope, Chatham
and Kingston. in all these bodies
there was a strong feeling .against the
Scott Act amendments made by the
'Dominion Senate and resolutions were
passed urging the House of Commons
to reject them. The speakers to these
resolutions used very strong language
in denunciation.
We underst ind it is the intention
of the East Huron Reform Association
to secure the services of the. Hon.
Edward. Blake to audress a mass
meeting to be field • at: Brussels this
summer. Thera are many of the
friends and admirers of.the leader of
the opposition. in Wingliam and vicini-
ty who would be. much pleated if- the
Hon. gentleman would pay a visit to
this town also.• It would be a good
idea it the Young.Menis Liberal Club,
which will'be organized here shortly,
would' extend an invitation to Mr.
Blake to address a uaeeting under
their • auspices.

four young menanid gathered -around

asked Simmons to step into the office,
while he sent.some of the 'young men

The Scott Act' ere, although not
enforced with the rigour it should be,

doubtedly sold but iobthe quantities

but those are men who have no 'care
fpr their reputation, Every drunken

to get a drink now and we think ere ,
long 'it will be a. nttieh more difficult
matter than at present, and drunken
men are certainly not so numerous.
Cases for the violation of the Scott'
Act were brought again st 1Vlesare

dismissed fur want c,f evidence.

Going ;carpo, and (were shown upstairs,
whoa% they f41i i,4`a woman lying ou a
loutie bleeding >fitribly' from two cuts
in the left arni, in%glee of whiohthe
broken piece of blade was fast, a stab
about an inch long on the right breast,
and another unimportant wound on
the left breast, pretty well under the
arm. 'rhe .}ispst serious: wound was
;that in the undet :part of the left atm
near the sboulcl'tr,whioh had severed
some of the larger veins and from
which blood was flowing in a regular
stream. Her clothing.were satuiated
with blood Alla : a large pool lay under
the lounge•' on which she was lying.
There was also a quantity of blood on
the be"d in a smaller room towards
the front of the building and blood
spots scattered all around the floor.
The sight is one that. would trya
strong nerve, as the woman. lay on
the lounge groaning, and gradually
growing paler as her: vital, powers:
were lowered by the tearful loss of
blood. Several times Dr. Waugh
said he thought she was dead,~ and
'spirits wore liberally administered as
a,stimulant while the surgeons were
exazniniug the injuries and applying
hastily improvised. bandages. When
the piece of knife blade was found it
wail so firmly imbedded in•the muscle
of the arm that it required all the
strength of a man to pull it qui. Dr
Waugh finally succeeded in extracting I
it,. ani• after bandaging; all thea
wounds the ambulance wagon was,
called, and ' the unfortunate victim
taken'to the City Hospital. She had
by this time become almost whit from
loss of blood, and the doctors
seem to. think when hemmorhage
again sets in she will die. Before
leaving for the Hospital the woman
'said that Simmons had done it. •
'['rhe Simmons referred to above is
well, known as a''hard character,' anck,
When drunk, which is not unfrequent-
ly, a dangerous one. His parents re-
side here and are regarded as nice

and the jury have returned a verdict
of wilfztl murder with malice afore
thought.)
