The Scott Act Alliance for the West Riding of Middlesex met in the Method· ist church, Mount Brydges, on Monday afteruoon, 7th inst., Rev . ·J. E. Moore, President, in the chair. A very interest· ing platform meeting was held in th.e evening addressed by Revs. P. K Day· foot, B. A., Strathroy ; ,V, H enderson, Glencoti ; and Mrs. Johnston, of Mount Brydges. Then on the night after the conTention, about one o'clock, Inspector Robertson's house was ·smashed in, a large window was broken to flinders and kindling wood made of the doore, which was followo;d by a couple of revolver shots and the perpetrators fled. They then visited Rev. Mr. Silcox, at the Bapti~t piu:sonage, but were discovered by a woman; who was sitting up with a sick child, and made tracks. They then made an attack on the Rev. J . E . Moore, President of the Alliance, at the Methodist parsonage, one man holdin1 the horse while the other smashed the front widow lights to smithereens and fired a bullet into the parlor, which lodged in the ceiling, and did littlti or no damage. Rev· Mr. Henderson was sleeping in the parsonage at the time. The inmates were aroused 'in time to see the culprits drive off in a cutter in grea.t huste. The bcott Act .Alliance will give a liberal reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties. --t r--4 c\1 0 0 ~ s:I ~ OOURTIOE. Mr. L . Power, of Cadmus, ia visiting at Mr. L . M.
