disirmm then introduced rev j contls who opened hk speech with tbctemarfc that the present agitation was probably the greatest moralmore merit which would occur during the lives of those of the present generation he said that all great reforms met with greit opposition and the prescnl one was no exception to the ruh spoke of the great change in public opinion on the temperance questii during the past fifty years and showi that by the foresight of temperance ineu hundred of thousands of men hare been saved from the curse of in- temperance during that period show- ed that the licerse system ia a failure and that moral suasion could not effect the object def ired without the assistance of legislation that moral suasion will be used for the tempted but legislation for lbeicbjpter

of any year we dave total prohibition one seventh of the entire year from saturday night to mondny morning each week at present but we want prohibition daring the whole year and the scott act will assist us to strive at that- mr coutte explained a number of the prominent clauses of the boott act and taking a cosiness tier of it showed that the act would improve business instead of injuring it he also illustrated by comprisou the superiority of the scott act over he dankin act n con clusion the speaker arged the electors to do their duty by voting for the act and thus rote for soberness in

w s ball was then called bbds seeds to ac editor of the fete pnu dejlrsir i am very much pleased to observe the interest you manifest in your advocacy of anew town hall the absence o such a necessity has for some lime been evident and th first step taken hy our council at its last meeting is creditable to their good tense i understand the reeve purposes calling a meeting of the ratepayer soon to dis cuss he matter arid obtain their views let ns hope the proper spirit will prevail and that no hostile feeling to the project will prevail it is often a source of disparagement to municipal management that measures calculated to advance the interests of the village are not accorded the hearty support theyishoutd receive a most notable instance of this kind of thing was evident in the opposition to the ceme tery by law voted on a year ago in that case the necesiily of the measure was apparent to every intelligent cili- teuand yet from a want of interest respectable people were persuaded by the misreprtsenlatiaa of others to op pose the byuwjand today they regret having done so lit ng hope when our town fathers bring down their byiawlor the town hall it will receive a hearty support the fact of the matter is that apart from its necessity for civio- purposes it u a necessity to olrpjople for other considerations oac of the greatest drawbacks of this cdmmonityia the absence of bomo place of amgsement for yoang people were some place of entertainment provided where the youug men of our village could assemble and receive some kind ol benefit it would effect a great good if it did no mote than keep them from congregating tit street cornets or assembling in ilotes and shops to meet this want a mechanics institute and beading uoom migl t be establish- edor our bind might be allowed to occupy it on certain evenings and people would be delighted to go and hear them there is klpoafc an entire absence of amusements provided for the village and it is becoming very rare thing indeed to see a travelling enter tainment advertised to atop here the reason for this being that we have no place for bach and it is not an uncom mon remark for those accustomed to live in livelier towns to make that acton is a dreary place o live in there is no doubt but people may accastom themselves to anything even the most dreary state of things but as a rule where dreariness exists th people are found inactive and un pro gressive it is evidently a mistake to suppose that making money is the only thing essential to human happiness oven in this world and the social in stincts of our nature plainly tell as so i hope lo sea some estimate of the coat of the proposed hall in some futureswla of your paper ita probable size end the probable revenue we may hope to obtain
