MORRISr, Clark o the Township of MoKillop. ated at Winthrop the 7th day of July, 1896. 1492-3 t,•••••••••••••=....in TEMpERANCE WORKERS.. , The bigProhibition Convention, called by • the. Ontario Alliance and held in Toronto on Thursday and Friday last, was a success in so far as attendance was concerned, there being between four and five hundred dele- gates present. But the meeting was not so s ers of the temperance cause harmonious, a . , therefore not so successful as the well-wi could desire, and the opinion was freely ex- • pressed by delegates that it had done more'. harm than good. The blame for this result was laid by the vast majority of the mem- bere-of the convention at the door • of the • Hamilton delegation, clerical and hay. This element 'was regarded as disaffected, and was headed by Messrs. W. W. Buchanan and Fred.1W. Watkins, who were unsuc- cessful Parliamentary candidates in Hamil- ton in the !recent Federal elections. They came down from Hamilton with their sup- porters with the avowed intention of making it unconafortable in the convention for Hon: Geo. W. Ross, who had spoken in the inter- est of the Liberal candidates dating the campaign, and had done very much towards electing those two supporters of MaLaurier. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Watkins, regarding this action of the Minister ef Education, in speaking for the Liberal nominees when such good prohibitionists as they were in the contest, as, little short of !treachery to the ' temperance cause, inoculated the rest of the Hamilton delegation with their owu views, and succeeded in marshalling a considerable company in the convention. ia hostility to Mr. Ross. The fight for which they had prepared themselves came off on Friday fore. noon and was waged with a virulence which would hardly have been expected in an or- ganization devoted to the high principle of eliminating one of the worst etvils of society. Speakers were constantly and continually interrupted, and it wasenly by the excel- lent management of Mayor Fleming; of To- ronto who was in the chair, that any rea- sonable order was maintained. The dele- gates from Hamilton made their onslaught on Mr. Ross'but their aim was too patent from the first. They moved to exclude him from the list of vice-presidents,whichmeant reading him eat of the alliance. la speak- • ing of' 'the Minister of Education most of his opponents conceded his great services to the temperance cause, and moderated their tone and language, even when referring to that action which they condemned, but Rev, B. B. Keefer had lie hesitation in using strong language, and said that the Liberals, in calling on Mr. Ross to go to Hamilton and •speak against Messrs. Buchanan and Watkins, "had summoned the one man who could throw open the citadel and betray the cause" of temperance. When the vote on the proposal to exclude Mr. Ross was finally taken, it was defeated by a majority of 217 in a total vote ef 401, the division being : Yea, 92; nay, 309. Rev. Mr. Kettlewell and Messrs. Bu- cha.nan, Lees and Wrigley withdrew their names' from the Eiecutive, alai will not longer be members of the Allieqe and will, likely, try to run a show of their own. • LEGISLATION DESIRED. The report of the Legislative Committee, which was adopted by the meeting, recom- mended the appointment of a deputation to wait upon the Ontario Government to urge the following amendments to the Liquor License Act: 1. That all revenue from' the licenses be- longs exclusively to the Provincial Govern- ment. 2. That not more than two tavern li enses be granted to the first thousand of p pule - tion of any incorporated village, towin or city, and not more than one tavern li ense for each additional 1,500 of popidation. 3.

That a majority petition from the electors residing in any polling subdivision ha which a tavern is situated shall absolutely prevent the renewal of any license in any year. 6. That the present provisions for allow- ing the existence of saloons in towns or cities be abolished. 7. That no liquor shop or tavern in towns or cities shall be located within 300 yards of a church or public school. 8. That no license shall be granted to any person to sell liquor in a public park or on race courses, or within 300 yards of any part of the 88M8, 9. That provision bel made where, by an infraction of the Ligtior License Act, any person may proceed at his discretion either against the license holder or against his bondsmen • and that the names of all appli- cants for license, with the names ef their bondsmen, be published by the License In- spector in the local paper two weeks before the first meeting of the board. 10. That each conviction during the year, and the number of cOnidctions, made since the license holder first received his license, shall be recorded upon the face of the license; and that a third conviction of any descrip- .tion under the Liquor License Act shall, without further process, thereby cancel the license, and no license to said party shall be issued within a period of two years. , 11. That any license issued by theeaceme rnissioners in non-compliance with the law, shall, on .complaint and proof of any per- son, be cancelled by the County Judge. 12. That in view of the great evils aris- ing, especially to young men, from the sale and distribution of intoxicating liquors in clubs, the provisions of 'section 53 of the License Act should be made hpplicable to clubs and secieties incorperated otherwise than under the Benevolent Societies Act; and any such elubs as may now have the right to sell or, distribute liquor should at les,st be brought under the restrictions of the License Act. • 13. That the power of sale conferred un- der the act shell be exclusively restricted to that portion of the licensed premises known -as the bar room. • 14.

That it be made unlawful for the cense Inspector to return the applications for a tavern license to the applicant after being deposited in the Inspector's office. 18. That all nominees for license com- missioners or inspectors shall, before final SE FORTH, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1896.

We give below the names of the success- ful candidates at the recent public school leaving and entrance examinations. In deference to the opinion of the teachers of East Huron, as expressed at the last Teach- ers' Convention held at Seaforth, the marks are not published. The marks have, how- ever, been sent to every pupil who wrote. A higher percentage of candidates •passed this year than usual, owing to the facts that the papers were very keasonable, and that teachers have made a determined and successful effort to keep back pupils who 444 • were not sufficiently advanced to write sue - :601 cesGsfouodp lly. enmanahip and neatness of putting 464 • down answers on paper were the most 499 pleasing characteristics of this year's en - 448 trance and leaving examinations. -These 567 remarks di) riot apply to some outside can - 461 didates. , 465 The Inspector wLhes us to convey to the 481 teachers his thanks for so cordially falling 4e5 in with hie wishes as regards penmanship, 496 neatness of work and the keeping back of 524 the weaker candidates. 431 The almbst universal use of the vertical 467 system has done much to improve the pen - 450 rnanship of the pupils, care should, how - 576 ever, be taken to prevent the vertical from 472 degenerating into back hand. 464: The post cards containing the marks of 524 candidates at public school leaving and en - 501 trance examinations, and the certificates of 427 the successful entrance candidates were 476 mailed on the 22nd of July. The certifi- 521 cates of those who passed the leaving will 517 be sent as soon as furnished by the Educe - 654 tion Department, sometime in November. 452 477• CLINTON.. 519 PLDBL/C SCH001; LEAVING.

Spotten Elizabeth Young -An old man in Pembroke, who was born blind, received his sight by the removal of a cataract. When the bandage was first removed, the patient started violently and cried out as if with fear, and for a while was quite nervous from the shock. For the first time in his life he looked upon the earth. The first thing he noticed was a flock of wild *puree -ifs. In relating his experience he said that he thought they were teacups, although a few moments afterwards he readily distinguished a wateh which was shown to him. _ It -is sup- posd that this recognition is owing to the fact that he heard it ticking. The blaze from a lamp excited the most lively surprise in his mind. He had no idea what it was, nd when it was brought near want- ed to p,ck it up. When night approach- ed upon' the day when he first used his eyes, he was in a fright, fearing that he was losing the sight that he had so woaderfully found after sixty year of darkness.
