literature the publishers of the montreal wuntu are now issuing a weekly entitled the mat- eajer and tiapauwe worixr which is largely devoted to the scott act campaign now in progress in several counties in the dominion the matter it contains is very instructive and will prove most satisfac tory and encouraging to those engaged on the side of right in the conflict the wit- aesfl is also

day were of immense size the prospects are that considerable good will be accomplished by their visit in guelph the army claims that tho work engaged in by them is in no way antagon istic to churches as their endeavor is to re claim the fallen sinners who mayhap are oatside the reach of the influence of the ministers in their ordinary mode of con ducting religions services we are of opin ion that the army could do good work for the cause of god in acton as well u in other places and if they would secure the congregational church so long unused for the purpose for which it was erected and send a detachment of officers to con duct services there much good might re sult therefrom oakvfue waking up we are pleased to notice that our sleepy sister at the foot of the county is arising from the state of lethargy in which she has existed for a number of- years and im provements and the correction of irregulari ties are now the order of the day the thousands of dollar of civic taxes which have been allowed to remain uncollected daring the past halfdozen years are to be collected forthwith street lamps are talked of verandahs are to be removed if possible corner loafing is to be prohibited and other matters are mooted which are calculated to create an improved order of things generally we congratulate the itdejmiai upon its influence in this mat ter and feel confident that it has assisted very materially in drawing the attention of tin authorities to the needed reforms and causing them to take the very com mendable action they have taken to put to rights the crooked irregularities which hare existed withing their borders for so long a time skating baoea excitement ran high in acton and mil ton for a week or so anent a cjnple of races which were announced to take place in georgetown on tuesday night by that time a good deal of supernooas steam had been generated especially in the latter town and it was fortunate that the race took place so early in the week so that a safety valve was thereby provided for the escape of the dangerous commodity th principal bone of contention was a fivemile race between w speight acton and h johnson who has for some time held the championship of the county milton the contestant in this race were pretty evenly matched although the citizens of milton by their braggadocio apparently thought the acton boy hadnt a ghost of a show be side their man and after a very pretty start kept within a yard of each other un til twelve laps had been made when john son accidently fell in rounding one of the corners speight then took the lead by eight or ten yards lut johnson was after him like a shot he never succeeded in catching him however and speight gradu ally gained until at the fortythird lap he was one lap ahead by this time johnson was pretty badly tugged out and conclud ing that the race was speights left the ice instead of completing the 68 laps re quired for the five miles this was one of the most exciting and keenly contested races that has ever taken place in this sec tion and we congratulate our boy upon his wellearned victory in the three mile race w little of milton wop first place and a e matthews of acton second we are always pleased to see our young people engage in the various athletio games and sports contests have been taking place from time immemorial and it is in our estimation right that they should we fail to see however why they cannot bo allowed to proceed without being al ways accompanied ihv the unreasonable and inexcusable habit of betting the ef fects of this gambling practice are most deplorable and those who pursue it very often become gamblers of the most im moderate type when they might otherwise rank among the best and noblest member of society the acton boys received a very bad lesson at the raoe above referred to baying woq money without tint leaving their milton friends to mourn th loss of rnany a hardearned x and v it would be a pleasure for all to attend these friend ly contests in athletio port if they were free bom these disgusting gambling prac tices bat as at present conducted many fed it their duty to give the affainno countenance by their presence a
