• GIFTS OF POISON.
It is time that respectable merchants
combined with eustorners for the sur press-
ion of all gift, prize and lottery schemes in
connection with the sale of articles of mer-
chandise. Tnese schemes are not only
demoralizing M ligitimate business and. to
the morals of the cummunity, but M the
extent in which they are being carried in
the sale of Articles of food have become a
source of great danger to the public aealth.
They ere, no matter in what form they
appear, nothing more or less than devices
to swindle honest and unsuspecting people,
10 18 gratifying to learn that in some
instances the officers of the law have taken
hold of the matter. • In New York, and also
in Chicago, parties who in this way offered
gifts to pnrchasers of their packages have
recently been arrested upon indictments for
lottery swindling. • The latest candidates,
both for public execration and oriminal
prosecution, are the mended:mes of the
alum baking powders, who are both, by
means of gifts and lottery tickets,disposing
of large quantites of their caressively pois-
onous compounds, which are so well known
to be detrimental to health that no house-
keeper will admit them to her kitchen
knowingly. This form of swindle is not
only being peddled trona house to house,
but under the promise of large profits to be
realized, the manufacturers are entrench-
ing themselves behind the counters of many
grocers by gettiug there to offer the alum
goods with the gifts or lotrery tickets
attached, thereby shifting the liability to
•prosecution, in part, upon other, I and per-
haps innocent parties. Every grocer or
dealer, for instance, who sell§ or offers for
sale any of the prize oz lottery baking
pewclers is a criminal in the eye of the law,
and liable, upon conviction, to line and
imprisonment, while those who sell the gift
goods are, morally, as responsible, for they
are offering an einclueement, or prize, to
heusekeepera to uae a food that contains a
corrosive poison. This is a predicament in
which it is not possible our grocers will
care to place themselves when they come
to think seriously of the matter.
It must be borne in mind that every one
of these gift or prize baking powders are
alum baking powders. These powders cost
less than four cents a pound to produce;
the gift or prize costs but a few cents more.
They are sold at the price of a first-class
baking powder, so that the swindle, in a
commercial sense, is enormous. But the
chief iniquity of the business consists in
selling, as persurnably wholesome, an artiel3
of a positively injurious character, and by
means of gifts or bribes inducing servants
or unsuspecting housekeepers to purchase
and use it in our daily food.
There should be some prompt method of
reaching these dangerous practices and
punishing the parties engaged in their
promotion. If the present laws are not
ample, we commend the matter to the
consideration of our State Board of Health
for recommendation ot such additional
legislation as shall be effective for the pro.
tection of the public.

Last week your correspondent missed the
mail which accounts of him not being
heard from in last week's Tines.
On Sunday evening, April 150h,
Mr. Kennedy preaehed a sermon on tem-
perance, and there being no service in the
German church this service was held.
The church was filled to the doors and
many could not get in. The Rev'd gentle-
man discoursed at length on temperance
and Scott Aot, and as was before intimated
used the scriptures in his explanations,
although we do not agree with him In all
he said we do not wish to criticise.
On Tuesday evening Apl. 170h, a Scott
Act mass meeting was held in the to sn
hall. Addresses were delivered by Revs.
Martin, Jones, Brown and Kennedy. The
meeting was largely attended. We are
sorry to learn that a few young men
thought it proper to disturb the meeting by
pounding the doors ; but are certain they
were not incited by the opponents of the
Act ae was intimated. However it shows
lack of common rsenee and should net be
tolerated, We understand that legal pro-
ceedings will be instigated if satisfactory
evidence can be procured.
Election day passed off very quietly
here both during polling hours aud after.
We admire the discretion of the hotel -keep-
ers during the campaign and think it was
the wisest course they could puesue. The
returns were a great surprise to both par-
ties, aucl many would put no faith in them
until the next morning. Tlatt vete in
Stephen tin resulted in a majority of 282
fur the petition or against the Sooit Ace

Zurich.
A. railway meeting was held in Zurich on
• Tuesday evening, 24011 inst. Bayfield was
represented by a deputation of the .most
influential citizens, ana were met by a
number of our •busitess enen including
Reeve Happle, and also Rev. Father Healy,
of the French settlement. A, general work-
ing committee was forriaed of gooa sound
heads and we can safely say that if a line
of railway can be run to Bayfield via Zurich
there will be no stone left unturned to get it
there. The opinions of the delegates were
expressed and if everything turns out as
favorable as things look at present, we can
hope to hear the sound of a locomotive
whistle at no distant day. The proposed
route is to branch from the South Ontario
& Pacific via Woodstock, Embro, St. Marys,
Exeter, Znrich aud the terminus at Bay-
field, which is one of the best and safest
shipping points on the shore of Lake Huron.
A petition from the House of Commons was
read, and other very interesting matter
considered. This is no small matter, as
WO have got to have a line of railway
through this section sooner or later , and
the farming community are just as e ager
for it as the townspeople are; and at the,
nexa meeting which will be held in Bay
field, (of which due and timely notice will
be given) we hope to hear some very gads.

Probably the result of no parliamentary
election was waited for with more interest
in the County of Huron than the result of
the vote on the repeal of the Soott Act on
Tuesday last; but when the majorities were
flashed along the wire in favor of the pe-
tition the news came down like a thunder-
bolt as most everybody eXpected to seo the
Act in force for the next three years at
least; but it did not work as the large
majorities showed. We are of the opinion
that if wines, spirits and other liquors were
brought to a prohibitory measure through-
out the Dominion, that it would be carried
10 to 1, and temperance advocates •or any
other advocates would not need to prompt
any voter on the list. Prohibition is in-
duoive to morality. -Scott Aet never was,

Karkton.
On Friday last 19th inst., the annual
Spring Show in connection with the
Bianshard Agl. Society was held in the •
Tillage of Hirkton. It was a decided
success, being the best held in the history
of society. A largo quantity of Agricultur.
al implements were on the grounds with
their respective agents, in fact most of the
prominent firms in Ontario were represen-
ted. Each agent was busy ehowing the
merits and improvements of their binders
aud other machinery, some of them effect-
ine sales. The show indicates that the
Agbl. Society is a very useful organization
and is a medium of benefit to the conamun•
ity in examining machinery and selecting
animals of noted stock 11'0111 wineli to
breed. Messrs. Roadhouse ce Brown ex-
hibited a lot of firsaclass buggies and road -
carts. The show of bulls was small and
we would suggest a larger competition in
tins class. A few sectiuns of the new
Canadian Patent Fence wee on exhibition
which is simple in constrection and ap-
peers to be cheap, strong and durable.
