TUE Ottawa Free frees says, in speak-
ing of the assaults on coustables in serv-
ing summons' in Scott act cases: --
These assaults show a very serious
state of things, No matter whether the
Canada Temperance Act be wise or un-
wise, whenever the majority of the elec.
tors decide in favor of it, it becomes ]sty,
and therefore should be duly respected
by all good citizens. These constables,
it should be remembered, are in no way
informers, but simply men appointed by
the authorities to carry out certain duties,
often very disagreeable ones and while in
the discharge of those duties, or on Re-
count of them, should suffer no injury at
the hands of any matt. Not only so, but
the opponents of the Scott Act will do
their own side of the case an injury by
countenancing such proceedings. Civil-
ization has advanced too far and public
thought is too enlightened to endure a
trade which needs violence and bloodsbed
to support it.
Ten appointment of Lord Stanley of
Preston, a younger brother of the Earl of
Derby, as Governor General of Canada
indicates a new departure in the policy
of the British government with respect
to that important office. Hitherto the
gentlemen selected to represent the sov-
ereign in Canada have as a rule been
British statesmen of the first sank, but
now the office is to be bestowed upon one
who bas never occupied a prominent
position in the letters, polities or military
affairs of the mothercountry. But when
Mr. Chamberlain plainly tells the Can.
adieus that they can sever their con-
nection with the British empire as soon
as they like, it is not surprising that his
allies in the Salisbury government should
think anybody good enough to fill the
office of Governor General of the Dom-
inion. There is one thing to be said in
Lord Stanley's favor, He is an amcom-
promising opponent of the proposal to
re-enact the corn laws and tax the bread
of the toiling masses of the United King-
dom for the purpose of increasing the
rent rolls of a few landlords.
Tan casualties of the past year seem to
have outnumbered those of any of its
predecessor, and also to have exceeded
those of former years iu their destructive
character. Both on laud and sea the dis-
asters have seemed to be exceptionally
awful. The railroad disasters at Tiffin,
O., in January; at Woodstock, Vt., in
February; at Forest Hill, mass., in
March ; tot St. Tomas, Ont., and at Hob-
oken, N. J., in July ; at Chatsworth,
in August; at Kautz, Ind., in October,
and near Meadville, Pa., on Saturday,
cost an aggregate of over 250 lives, besides
more than double that number injured
and maimed. Burning buildings and
panics cost the lives of 15 persons in
London in January, of 260 in a barging
Temple in China in icfareh, and of 15 in
the Richmond hotel fire at Buffalo in the
same month. In April, 40 were killed
by the falling in of a church in Sicily.
In May the burning of the Opera Comi-
�; que in Paris oost 125 lives. In Septemb-
er a similar disaster at Exeter, England,
Dost 140 lives. Volcanoes, earthquakes
and mining explosions count their vic-
tims by hundreds. Disasters to vessels
on the ocean and lakes increase the cas-
ualties to thousands. The terrific flood
in China alone- swept away thousands of
lives, while cyclones and landslides tom•
plebe a reoord whose sadness is rarely
equalled. Some of these were manifest-
ly beyond human precaution to avert,
but too many were the results of heed -
liminess little, if any, short of criminal.
The disregard of the value of human life,
both from criminal and accidental as.
peers, is something shocking, and noth.
Ing brings it so vividly to mind as the re-
view of the history of a Bingle year,
which, in comparison with other years,
seems to indicate progression in heed.

The people in this locality are very
well satisfied with the result of the innu-
icipal el: _tion, The Council for 1888,
we think, is a very good one.
PARTY.—Ott Monday evening, the 2nd
inst., a very enjoyable time was spent at
the residence of J. M. Davies. The
young folks and old folks too, enjoyed
themselves to their heart's content, and
it was not until drawing near the ''stns
hours" that the party broke up. Mr.
and Mre. Davies always makes everyone
feel at home.
A sleigh load of young people from
Brussels made a visit to bhe residence of
David Milne, of this place, on Monday
evening. They report a most enjoyable
time and vole Mr. and Mrs. Milne unsur-
passable as host and hostess. To tell
you a secret it was the girls got ap the
load and invited the boys to enjoy the
drive and visit. Leap year has its ad-
vantages after all, from a masculine
standpoint.
RECEPTION 1'A°Tr.—About forty invited
guests assembled at the residence of John
Cober, on Wednesday evening, the 28th
alt to welcome home Ephraim, the junior
partner of the firm, who was expected to
arrive from Belmore with his bride. The
party sat down to a bountiful repast, and
•did ample justice to the many good
things under which the table groaned.
The groom arrived with his bride, about
8 o'clock, having driven a distance of
twenty-two miles through the storm.
They were none the worse of the drive,
however, and were quite ready to join in
the amusements of the evening. The
company enjoyed themselves splendidly,
and it wee not until 12 o'clock that they
thought of dispersing. Before doing so
very neat addresses were made by Reeds.

ult., Bennet Dobson and Miss Sarah
Maunders, eldest daughter of Thomas
Manders, were happily uniteij in mar-
riage by Rev. J. T. Logear, in the pres-
ence of a large number of friends. Geo.
Eckmier supported the groom, and Miss
Lizzie Maunders, sister of the bride, was
bridesmaid. Owing to the severe storm
quite a number of the invited guests
were unable to be present. Several young
gentlemen started with cutters for their
fair partners, and were obliged to return
without them, as they could not get
through the snow drifts. The bride was
the recipient of a large number of pres-
ents, the following is a list of them ;—
Hali dozen silver knives, Wm. Whalpton;
half dozer silver forks, W. J. Sharp ; Ja.
