DEATES.—On Sunday another esti-
mable inhabitant of this place, was
added to the long list of the respected
dead by the demise of Mr. Duncan Mc-
Ewen. Deceased enjoyed comparative-
ly good health until February last
when he accidentally slipped on some
ice and broke his leg, the effects of
which he never fully recovered. He
was born in Perthshire, Scotland, the
12tH of May, 1814, and left there in
1831 settling in New York state.—On
Saturday last the death of Miss Annie,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bow-
man, of this place, oecurred'in London.
Deceased had been residing there at
the time of her illness, and thought the
superior care and, kind treatment at
St Joseph's hospital would again soon
restore her to hsjth and strength. She
was exceeding lm and cheerful in
her affliction, e las! ' the operation
proved too much for her and she de
darted this life peacefully and happy.
From her youth up she had been a con-
sistent Christian, a member of the
church of England. The high esteem
in which she was held by every one to
whom she was known renders her ea:1ly
demise the subject of the deepest re
gret throughout a large circle of ac-
quaintances.

About twenty young ladies and gen
tlemen of the Parkhill Bicycle Club
rode out to this village on Wednesday
of last week and spent a very pleasant
time at the residence of W. J. Wilson.
Everybody was happy and joyful up
to ten o'clock, when the thunder began
to roar, the lightning to flash and dark
clouds gathered over the clear sky. A
few of the most daring ones started for
home, others secured horses and bug-
gies and reached home safely, while
other sang " We won't ,:o home tilt
morning" and when morning came it
was raining. Ladies had to be taken
home in buggies and bicycles in a lum-

DEATH of i4IISS FERGUSON,—Much
sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Dayid
Ferguson and family, of the 8th con
cession, on account of the death of their
daughter, Miss Elizabeth, which sad
event took place on Thursday, May 12.
Deceased had been ill for some time
with consumption, but her death was a
severe shock to her parents and friends.
She was but a little over 23 years of
age, and was a bright, engaging young
lady, who was admired by all who knew
her, and greatly beloved in the family
circle.
A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE —On Friday
the little four-year son of Mrl James
McConnell, of Tuckersmith, baa a most
miraculous escape from death by
drowning. A man was engaged in
digging postholes on the Elate, and the
little boy with a young dog was play-
ing around, when the child fell head
first into one of the boles, which was
about three and a half feet deep, with
two feet of water in it. The man, being
busy, did not miss the child, but the
pup did, and with wonderful sagacity
it made such a fuss as to attract atten-
tion of the man, who, thinking some•
thing was wrong, hurried to the spot,
and drew the child out of the hole. it
was at first thought that Life was ex•
duct, but after hard work he was
brought around all right. It was a
narrow shave for the boy, as had he re•
mained in the hole a minute longer,
he certainly would have been drowned
and it was ouly due to the fact that the
man's attention was drawn to the acci-
dent.
Zurich,
We have this week to chronicle the
death of Mr. John Shaffer, who was
buried in the Lutheran cemetery, Sat-
urday. Deceased lived for many years
on the town line, north of here, About
two months ago he moved to Blyth;
where he, and one of his son.in laws
Does prohibition prohibit ? That 1
a vital question in the approacbin
campaign. The citizens of Canada ar
only ordinary mortals and we woul
expect the save results with them a
with people of the same average lute
ligeence and habits. The State of Main
is the old home of prohibition. No on
denies that its record its not good i
crime or even drunkenness. More ar
rests for drunkenness in Maine tha
any other equal papulation in the [.'uit
ed States. And yet Maine ties prohibi
tion for over sixty years. When til
law was in force fifty years a vote Iva
taken as to its eouttuuauce, Prohibi-
tion again carried. That is a great
argument with the prohibition party.
Ana13 sed it is a forcible argument for
the antis. A. state election occurred o
the day the vote was taken. Over 100.
000 votes were east for state officers or
that day and less than .10,000 votes o
the prohibition question either way
That is, that of every wan who voted
nearly three out of four did not think
it worth his while to net, for a ballet to
mark, ora this question at all, A condi
tiou of perfect iudl.t'erat:ce as to the re
suit. Again we fta.d thet every hquo
dealer in Maine supported prohibition
Iteaved tbe (teeter the tica1.s42 mQuey
The vote therefore east for probibitiot
consisted of ad interested in the liclttor
traffic and the extreme, fauaticat wing
of the temperance people- Three-fourths
of the peoples caret nothing about it.
Il that eantlitl'n of things after fifty
rare speaks in favor of prohibition
thin the prohibitionists are welcome to
take, comfort from it. Ai.y citizen can
get the information for himself as to
bow prohibition succeeds in Dakota or
Kansas.
Any resid n to whom e G m I have
spoken, declares the whole, thing a
farce. If anythiug more druukeuuess
and under .abominable conditions. Is
prohibition likely to be more successful
in Canadav
than anywhere r e Not
iia, a err
at all likely. To snake it a success the
Government would have to arm every
second man with a rifles to shoot his
neighbar for any breach of the law,
and to tied suelt biteneites would eun-
etautly .have to shadow his neighbor.
fa• i ,
One of s r, •v
� le h tl- th4 population would have
p
p
u e
to pay the other half for watching it.
The counties of I.atel;tou, Huron and
Bruce were at one time ulader prebibi
tiara under the Scott Act. Cel tardy a
large territory. The success everybody
is acquainted with. It will he conceded
that as mush driukiug was done. It
will also be conceded that sneaking,
perjury, expense, bitterness, lying and
general demoralization were rampant
during that uufortunate time. People
drank just the same but to that evil
were added many others more amoral.
izing than drink. Who that knows
any thing of those times would perfer
the then state of things to the present?
It is argued that the Scott Act was only
local prohibition and therefore could
not be enforced, while the saute difficul-
ty would not apply to a general law.
Partly true. But when we consider
that a large majority voted for tbe act,
the majority of voters wero willing to
break the law. We know what stren-
uous, bitter efforts were put forth to en-
force it. Where a majority do not re-
spect a local law neither will they re•
spect a general law of the same nature.
The breach of the general law would
be in illicit distillatiou in pave of illicit
handling in the case of the aeon Act.
Once get illicit distillation common in
a cotlimunity and consider the awful
demoralization that must ensue. Look
at the history of Britain especially. Ire-
land and Scotland during the days of
private distillation, wheu "Willie brew-
ed a peck o'maut and Rab and Allan
cam to see," and compare it with the
Britain of to day. Britain still drinks,
but it takes its grog, in an open, gentle-
manly way, that entails no loss of honor
or self respect. Surreptitious drinking
must be far worse than open drinking,
We have absolute Proof of that iu this
community. Prohibition does not pro-
hibit, never has prohibited and Heyer
will prohibit so long as man is Inade of
the same kind of clay as he is at present
And it is to the credit of the race that
such is the fact. All good that has
ever come to humanity has come nom
resistance to coercion.

The Election Trials.
It is not likely that any election
trials will take place until next aut-
umn at the earliest, The judges of the
High Court receive no remuernation
for election trials in connection with
the Provincial elections, although in
the Federal eases they receive an ex-
tra fee of 8100 per trial. Under the
circumstances the judiciary can hardly
be expected to devote the summer va-
cation to the tedious business of elec-
tion trials. The necessity for haste
exists only in South Ontario and West
Hamilton, for unless matters are fin-
ally settled in those places before the
House meets, the Government will find
itself in the 'extraordinary position of
an Administration with two Ministers
who cannot sit in the Legislature.—
