Miss 011ie Quance, Exeter, who un- derwent a surgical operation for appen- dicitis on Tnursday last, is improving slowly, On Wednesday of last week James Taylor, Hensall, was married to Miss Myrtle Vance, at the residence of the brides mother at Toronto. Martha Hawke died at her father's t y residence. CrediLon, on Wednesday last; she had been working in London, came home on a visit, took soddenly ill and died. Eighty guests assembled on June 1 at the home of Mr Robt. Laidlaw, con. 9, Morris, to witness the marriage of his daughter Aggie to Mr Donald Mc- Callum, of Grey township. ' The half -yearly meeting of the Uoun- a ty L. O. L. will be held t Hensall on the 17th, when fall arrangements will be mads respecting the great celebra- tion to be held there on July 12. Mr T.J. Berry, Hensall's enterprising II horse buyer,left here for the Old Coun- try, on Satgrday last,with a fine ship- ment of horses, comprising sixteen heavy draughts,and two drivers. West Wawandsh assessment for 1898 is, as given by the assessor: -Assessed value of property, $1,119,300; popula- tion, 1,999; number of cattle, 3,670; sheep, 2,016; swine, 1,295; horses, 1,067. Mr Win. Patton's house, ofBluevale, was burned'down on Wednesday night of last week. None of the contents were saved. The cause of the fire is unknown. The loss is partly covered by insurance. A very pretty but quiet wedding was solemnized at the residence of Mrs Mc- Gregor, of'Seaforth, on Tuesday after- noon, when -her eldest daughter, Annie Robertson, was united in mat r•iage to :Michael Steele, M.D„ of Tavistock. A quiet wedding took place in East Wawanosh, at the residence of the bride's mother, on Wednesday, June 1, being that of Miss Ellen, fourth daughter of Mrs Geo. McGowan, to Mr J. Archie Shipley, second son of Mr J. B. Shipley, of Denfield, Middlesex. At the early hour of 6o'clock on Wed- nesday morning of last week, at the residence of the bride's fa' her, Miss Na- oini, daughter of Mr 1-Itigh Williams, of Btussels, was united in marriage.to Mr H. R. Brewer, the popular photo- grapher of this village. The wedding wits a quiet one, only members of the family being present. On Tuesday a very happy event took place at the residence of Mr Thomas Dick, just outside of Hensall, when his daughter Bertha was married to Mr Thos. Bell, of that place, and another daughter, Mary Ellen, joined hands with Mr Douglass, of Blake. Rey J. S. Henderson tied both knots in the most approved andsubstantial planner. The home of Mr and Mrs Wm. Mc- Knight, Nile, was the scene of a very Yleasant event on Wednesday evoning trne 1, it being the marriage of their second daughter, Aggie, to Mr David Johnston. The bride was assisted by her sister Sarah, and the groom by his brother James, while Rev Mr Hender- son, Auburn, performed the ceremony. Mrs Elizabeth Keddy, relict of the late Robert Keddy, Usborne, who died 29 years ago, passed to her reward on Monday, at the age of 88 years. She had resided with her son Walter, the Councillor for N. W. Ward. Fur some time' her health had been failing, the natural decay of age, but on Sunday she fell and broke her thigh. The shock proved too severe for her frail condition. On Wednesday, June 1st, the home of Mr Jas. L4'sler, Goshen line, Stanley, was the scene of a very pretty wedding, Rev. J. S. Henderson, of Hensall, offic- iating. The contracting parties were MiF.4 Agnes,the charming and et;timab- 'le daughter of Mr and Mrs Jas. Esler, and Mr Alexander McConnell, son of the late Rev. Jas, A. McConnell, .form- erly pastor of the Bayfield toad and Blake congregations. On Sunday evening last the death messenger called away one of Bfyth's oldest citizens, in the person of Jere- miah Lynch. He bad been ailing for some time, but had never been so bad as to be laid aside till a little over a week ago. He had been troubled with Bright's disease, but it was more severe than usual and his weak frame was un- able to bear up. He was a strict mem- ber of the Roman Catholic church. While riding down ahill in Gorrie on Friday evening last Master A. Hemp- hill met with a very serious accident. He was coasting down the hill on his bicycle with his arms folded, when the front wheel struck a stone and he was thrown headfirst on the ground, his face striking on the hard road. He was picked up unconscious and brought home in a buggy and placed under & d(ctor's care. His mind is yet some- what weak, and he has no recollection whatever of going to Gorrie. His face was badly cut and bruised, some of the cute needing a. few stitches, and his neck was also strained. It will be some time yet before he will be folly recov• Bred. Brussels Herald: -"In the death of Mr F.C. Rogers, at the age of 72 years, Brussels loses one of its most promi- nent citizens and one who, through the whole course of his long residence in the village has been foremost in any movement towards its iirprove- ment and the prosperity of its citizens. He removed to Brussels in 1874 and purchased the business of Neil Living- ston, which he carried on for many years at the premires since burnt down. In 1879 Mr Rogers wag elected Reeve, which position he held con- tiuuously until the year 1884. During his Reeveship he founded the salt block, still in successful operation by Coleman Bros., and the bell, formerly on the Town Hall, now at the school, bears witness to bis generosity. De- ceased belonged to the English Church, was an honorary member of St.John's Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and in politics a strong Conservative. He bad been failing for some time and the end was not unexpected. DO YOU READ What people are saying about Hood's Sarsaparilla?

THE CLINTON NEW ERA The Prohibition Question To the editor New Fra... - - Dear Dear Sir: Would you kindly allow me a little apace in your valuable raper to reply to an article which appeared in your issue of the 27th ult., from the pen of inmuch esteemed friend, Mr John KernigLu. I have many times listened to his exposition of the Sunday School lesson in Bethel with pleasure and profit, and was very sorry to see him use his considerable in. floence in favor of one of the mightiest forces in the hands of the Devil to nullify that teaching and oppose tl;e prayer "Thy Kingdom come." 1 am glad he voted for the Scott Aut and am exceedingly 'gratified to learn that one so well qualified to judge of its merits should consider it worthy of hie continued support, though there was not even a show of enforcement the first year. With all deference to Mr Kernighan let me mention a few points. the firet e. To objection- offered, viz, that prohibition does cot prohibit, I would say thatit is partly true and partly untrue; there is no law on the statute book which totally pro- hibite, and the tact is it did prohibit to some considerable extent as it so destroy ed the treating system that it took several years after the return to license lfor it to assume the same proportions it, bad before the Scott Act earns in force. It seems to me a strange anomaly for a Christian man to press home to the minds of the young the preoepts of that book whish says "look not upoi the wine when it is red," and "woe unto him that givetb his neighbor strong drink," and then going to his neigh- bor with a special permit to sell the for- bidden draught, which he exchvnges for a money consideration, omitting to say, of course, as he manes the deal, "I have just been warning the young people against the drink but you will no doubt find some weak ones among them whom you can per- suade to disregard my admonitions, and out of whom you will be able to make enough money to pay me for the license and have a comfortable living for your family besides." The second proposition I do notunderetani. What had the voter more to do with the Scott Act than he has with a Dominion prohibitory law? All he is required to do in either case is to vote for or against it, and it does rot make a particla of difference whether the legisla- tion comes; from Ottawa or Toronto. The sphere of iiia interest is precisely the same - and it is" certain e f 1y aster to enforce pro- bibition in a county surrounded by pr„hib. ition counties; especially when the impor- tation and manufacture are controlled, than it is when your next door neighbor lives in a county under license. I sympa- thize with Mr K nighan in his detestation of the means employed to seenre a convic- tion, and have often thought I could not be an informer as per present laws. But could not the law be so amended so as to make convictions more easily obtained,and with more honor in its accomplishment. I think it can, and earnestly slope it may. Again, we are told drunkenness is only one evil, and if you banish that it brings half a dozen others equally as bad. Let me any if we could succeed in banishing it, there would be noinfraction of the law,and consequently no lawsuits over the offence, thus escaping the half dozen evils which he mentions and adding one more virtue to thehabit of our peoble. Drunkenness is certainly more e than one evil however, or it is a mountainous one. Does It not often mean idleness, poverty, domestic miseries, gnarrelling, hatred, envyings, murders, licentiousness and almost every other form of vice and shame. Enforce any law and you will cause the prosecutor to be bated by the prosecuted, and as to perjury, is it not a common thing for the guilty to sol- emnly protest their innocence. I cannot believe that an honorable man would swear falsely on any occasion, or on one occasion more quickly than another. Regarding the thought in your correspondent's letter, re theosition the churches have assumed, let me ask, who are the churches; are they not a body of good citizens, and have they not all the rights of citizenship? Can they not condemn any ex sting law that they think is inimical to to the best interests o1 the country; or have they no right to ask for legislation that will better the condi - tion of their fellows, or should not a Chris. tian have anything to do with civil govern. ment? ,If one citizen hag the right to , ask for a prohibitory law, then a large number ofcttivar-a.:Vhng themselves Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists or any other sect, may unite in asking for the same law with. out uniting church and state. I do not think the churches have abandoned God'e way of salvation. Would Mr Kernighan like to bring up a family in the worst en- vironment in order that the power of Christ to save to the uttermost might be manifested? It looks to me like "doing evil that good may come;" nor do I think it would be the wisdom of God to cause a man to fall into the lake of drunkenness in order to show His power in recovering }rim We are taught to pray, "lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil," and according to Mr Kernigban's own state. ment the drink traffic is an evil. I do not think the pros and cons in testimony about Maine are equal. That State has been on - der prohibition about forty years, and the fact that it is sustained by an increasing majority every time it is voted on is con. elusive evidence that the people are satis- fied with it. upon what ground does your correspondent base his assertion that he is not a friend of the liquor traffic? As I see it, the person who votes for an open bar must'neoeeearily be its friend, no mat. ter how good an abstainer be is himself, of how much he may any against it. Actions speak louder than words and already a number of anti -prohibitionists are hailing Mr Kernighan as their champion, and it he suddenly finds himself at the head of a band of dynamiters, house burners and man-slanghterers, be sbould not feel at all disconcerted; it is only natural for them tc regard any one who supports' their const as one of themselves. As to prohibition being neither a religious or a moral quos• tion, it seems so palpably incorrect that I think upon reflection the statement will be withdrawn. h Now Mr Editor I would like to say mnob more, but I am afraid I have already trespassed on your space. Hoping Mr Kernigban may be found on polling day where be rightfnl)y belongs, I remain yours truly. -A. E. AL LIN, Benmiller. -A decision of some importance to farmerf and buyers was given at Toronto, on Tues• day, by Judge Morson in a Division Court case. Wm. White, of York township, sued P. McIntosh & Sons, grain buyers,for $52.. 25, a balance claimed on a load of wheat sold to defendants. The lattor noted in the usual way, inspecting one bag of the farm. er's load and buying the lot at $1.02. Sub• sequently they claimed that the load was of an inferior quality and only allowed 8C cents a bushel. Judge Morson holds that as the farmer never said that the load was all alike in quality, he is not respon. Bible, as it was easily within the power of the buyer to find it ont by looking at all the bags or by caking the farmer. He holde that the wheat was not sold by sample, but by bulk, and divas judgment for the plain. tiff for the fu17 amount. .roz 4 J' Vancouver. B Will riol'and , son of Jeptha Holland, (Goderich Township.) Vancouver is city of about 20,000 regular inhabitants, and a floating population of about &s many more, principally working their way directly or indirectly north to Skagway, Dye&, Dawson, and the great golf Held•. Many different nationalities onalities are represented here, but the principal ones are people from Ontario, (,Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Sootia, while the English are well represented, the Americans not being in the background. Among the min- ot classes are a great many Chinese and Japanese. This place seems to be a favor- ite resort for these, because of the boats coming directly frons China often landing as many as three or four hundred at once. Tney ate a great detriment to any city snob as this, breaaee they keep labor low, work- ing for 75o and 80o a day, and boarding themselves, sending all their profits home to China or Japan. They are in general a dirty, degrading, disagreeable class of bu- inanity. We must not forget the French, of whom there are not a few; in fact nearly all kinds of people may be seen here, even to some from Korea and Manilla. Taking into consideration the age of the city, which we may say is not more than ten or twelve years, we have a magnificent place, and carry on an immense business. Our Western Canadian coast city is situat. ed at the terminus of the C. P. R„ on Bur, rard inlet, off English Bay, which is an arm of St. George's Strait, which lies bet- ween Vancouver Island and the mainland, thus well protected from ocean storms, yet in direct connection with the ocean for na- vigation, eto. We are in the south-western corner of British Columbia, right near the boundary line between Canada and the United States. The city is built on a beau- tiful raise of ground inclining from the in- let and .on False Creek, another arm of English Bay; tris slope faces the north west, and on looking from the top of this elope we may look over the entire city and beyond, to a beautiful range of snow-capped mountains, very irregular in shape, yet forming a great protection to the city from the north and east. Itis simply delightful to stand on the shore of the Bay, and see the large waves roll, roll and roll in, apd finally break over the rooks, while the tide approaches slowly but surely. On our left we may look over one corner of the city, tip Mount Pleasant, and see houses and streets, streets and avenues, and avenues and houses galore. On our right we look away across the water and see Vancouver Island, upon which is situated our Capital, Victoria, and Nanaimo, Wellington, and several other cities. A great navigation trade is carried on between this Island and the mainland, two beats ply ing daily, one to Victoria, the oth- er to Nanaimo from Vancouver. The "Charmer" or Victoria boat exports from the Island a great many shbep and general ranch productions, while it is a great pass- enger boat. The principal industries arefishing, ship- ping, ehip-building, mining and milling. Our fi9bing is mostly carried on near the mouth of the great Frazer river, of which we all have an anticipation, not reai,ization is far in the excess. A small village, Stev- es'on, situated at the mouth, is the centre of the scene of action. This village in - from 200 or I creases 300 population anon in win- ter to 2,000 or 3,000 in summer, so we may draw our own conclusion t t d w s, but we are no surprised when we see about 200 boats go- ing out to fish at once. Thus we see of one great industry producing more than can be shipped during the season. There are can- ning factories all the way up the Frazer River to New Westminster; this is a large, swift river breaking off into two arms as it nears the mouth. Slipping, as may be imagined, ie of very great importance. The rail trade of the continent terminating here consequently , g Y our shipping trade is bound to be great. Among our principal boats are the Em- presa of China, Empress of India, and Em- press of Japan, each 480 feet long and bav- ing a displacement of 6,000 tone, plying be- tween Hong Kong' and Vancouver; these boats are simply a wonder in themselves. Then we have the Tartar and Atbenian, English boats, but now on the Klondike route; these also are, very large boats. Again we have the Walla Walla, Ocean Wave,Umatilla and several Australian boats, besides some local ones, such as the Charmer, Joan, City of Seattle, etc. Our navigation company has a great length of g wharfage and three immense freight sheds each 100x250 ft., i. e., on O. P. R. wharf; besides there are the City Wharf, Evans Coleman & Evans, and Hastings mill wharfs, so considering all of this, one may conclude that shipping here is not any mi- nor consideration. Willow me here to give one example: The Empress of India left Yokohama on May 6th with 350,000 lbs, of overland cargo, 180 tone raw silk and silk goods, 250 tons of freight for Victoria and Vancouver, 60 tone for Puget Sound, and 50 steerage passengers for Victoria, 250 for Vancouver, and 200 for overland points, with I25 saloon passengers. Ship -building is carried on here to some extent. Tha C. V. R. is building several boats this spring for the north, especially the Stickeen river. Besides these indus- tries we have all the modern manufaotories going on such as a large sugar refinery, foundry, canning factory and milling which is carried on very extensively. It is difficult for eastern people who have not seen the like to fully anticipate their full size and value. We must not forget the smelting workawhieb areas yet in their infancy, but we expect from the mineral wealth of British Colnmbia,'for it to devel. op into an extensive business. Mining; in British Columbia is almost at a standstill as the placer mining is done, and rook min- ing requires capital to start, but it is now starting and oncestarted means boom days to continue in Vancouver, so yon see we have industries peouliat to Vancouver alone, but ones which will support a city. Farm. ing is carried on to some extent in the sur. rounding country, but not so extensively as about some of the eastern pities. Coal mining is an extensive industry of Van- couver Island around Nanaimo. We have all the modern amusements such as mnsic halls, operas, comedy, tragedy, and dramatic companies almost continual. ly, besides these we have all such games as lacrosse, lawn tennis, cricket, football,base- ball, fishing and boating, which is simply grand rowing, sailing and steam yachts. We have a loyely natural park, 9 miles in eircumferenpe, with recreation grounds and zoological gardens, where may be seen nearly all kindo,colors,shapes and varieties of animals and flowers. It is needless to say this is a great attraction for tourists. Our public buildings are many, and of varT ions kinds, many large brick and stone banks, hotels (Vancouver or C. P. R. Hotel being the largest), court house, city hall, Hudson Bay stores, free library, the great stone McKinnon block (the owner of which was a poor man some three years ago, but f/rospected in mining), two large fire halls, danoing academy, a now C. P. 12, depot in erection, and post office. We have all the fraternal societies and life insurance com- ganids that may be thought of represented here.
