The Alliance, as its aims were getting better understood was gaining the respect ef employers as well as employes, Its aim was to promote the welfare of all, the efficiâ€" ency of the people being the greatest National asset. The Alliance bas seâ€" cured recognition in 9 provinces and no fewer than 135,000 toilers haye in recent years got the weekly rest day through its influence. Ontario was now fast becoming a manufacturing province and it was important to have the law well euforced, He showed how necossary was yvigilance to preâ€" yent encroachments by Railways, boat lines, so called " Sunday Concerts, &c., pointing to the awful fact that in England 700,000 men had to work to provide amusement for Sanday, Vigilance was necessary too to con. trol the many foreigners amongst us. if Canada was to hbold her Sabbath sacred.

The Fire Brigade turned on the hose in 25 or 30 minutes and soon quieted the blaze. When the fire was in its incipient stage Mr. Limin had removed a stallion and another horse and vehicles were also pulled out, so the only contents destroyed are some robes, harness, and a small quantity of hay and oats. The cause is unknown, but supposedly was accidently started by someone in the loft, as the blaze was first seen there on East side. The stable was owned by Mrs. Warner and carried an insurance of $125. Monday, 28th April. In Methâ€" odist Church, Durham. Beginning at 180 p. m. a Conyention of 8.

The new chemist comes from Jackson, Mich . Burning begun at Cement Works * It does seem a consotation that he is at rest after all that he had sufferâ€" ed." said Rev. Norman McCausland, referring to the late Rev, W, L Newâ€" ton, in his memorial sermon to the departed pastor on Sunday moreing. " His family are glad to see him at rest after the affliction. Peace came to Mc Newton after the dark hour." Mr McCUausland stated that death was spoken of in three forms, The tirst form of death was spoken of in the Bible as sieep. The second was a sense of departure while the third form was death in the Lord. The preacher contended that death to the latter of the three forms, robbed the graye of its victory and death itâ€" self lost its sting. Mr Newton‘s death he would classify under this head. He had been resting from his labours and waiting for the final call, Mr McCausland pad a high tribute to the iutegrity, ability and charactep of his predecessor. Hestated that he had but slightly known Mr Newton, but eyen in the interval that he had been with him, the qualities which had endeared and had made him beâ€" loved of his congregation, had been recognized. The speaker averred that the church building, the sermons that had been preached and numerons kind deeds which had been performed, would be permanent monuments to Mr Newton:â€" Previous to his discourse, the pastor read a letter from Mr Keith L. Newâ€" ton. of Toronto, thanking him for the memorial rices which were being paid to his father and regrebting deeply that circumstances did not permit him to attend the services. Convention Call Memorial Service. w 4# # 4 _ Tuesday last Inspector Wm. Allan, had two cases before Police Magis: trate Telford for violations of the Ltâ€" quo? Act. Mysterions Local{Option Beer The first was against the proprietor of the Middaugh House, Mr. J. C. Nichol!, _ He was charged with baving supplied whiskey or other intoxtcaâ€" ting liquorto three men who were summoned as witnesses ; Messrs Samâ€" uel McComb, Dayid Allan and Ww. Ryan. MrCameron, one of the legal lights of Owen Sound, appeared for the prosecution and Mr Klein of Walk» erton for the defendantâ€" ‘The witnesses were taken over their doings and babits in regard to liquor ’nd liquor bouses,. All three of them denied having got whiskey at the house, all &greed that it was the barâ€" tender who served them, though they did not all agree on the number of treats. _ There was general obscurity also as to what constituted local opâ€" tion beer, would scarcely know the difference between it and laager beer, though MrRyan was confident it was not like the beer he had sold years ago. _ Pressed if they were sure there was no whishkey in their drink, they supposed not, there "imay hbhave," but any way they asked for and were supâ€" plhed with the tender stuif. Mr Nichol swore he had no whiskey round his premises, he ordered his beer from Huether of Neustadt, didn‘t know where it came from but supposâ€" ed it was the stuff he ordered, The magistrate decided the proseâ€" cution had not proved their case and dismissed it. In the other case John Gibson was accused of being drank and disorderly on the public street. _ Messrs W, J. Lawrence, Jas. Lioyd, E. J, Watson, A D Browning and Revy Mr Prudham all testified with perfect unanimity that shortly af.er 10 p. m. on Tuesday l5th inst, they met him near Gara= fraxa St. bridge reeling and staggerâ€" ing and plainly under the influence of liquor, _ Mr Klein took the witnesses far afield, but did not sucrseed in provâ€" ingfrom them that a sober wan usuâ€" ally staggers or that the staggering they saw proceeded from cocaine, morphine or some other drug. Iu rebuttal Messrs Val. Habuard sun Oscar, Arch Black, David Ritebie John Whittaker, V. Damm, Fred Gibson, Geo Arnett and several Qthâ€" ers supported the defendant in his declaration of sobriety that day. Some had worked with him all afternoon, some had taken supper with him, some accompanied him to a dance beâ€" tween 8 and 9 p m at Arnett St‘s., saw him there off and o» till 3 a m., had no liquor that they knew, &c. There is needed evyerywhere, and in this town, a eombination of all moral elewents, both of persomality and inâ€" Huence, to form a public opinion aâ€" gainst the degrading drink. The curse of the liquor traffic, even in locâ€" al option beer, is bringing down the manbood of many toâ€"day, as it ever has done. War, famine, pestilence, rages awhile and then stops, but this monster incessantly is on the trail of hamanity. Few wholistened thas day to cerâ€" tain of the evidence given under oatb after kissing God‘s holy book, but must have been shocked, _ That menâ€" tal reservyations, perhaps worse, were being made far from consistent with "the whole truth and nothing but the truth," seemed very eyident,. . Some will place the blame on local option, oyerlooking the fact that in licensed districts, whiskey cases show the same perversity. k His honor however thought the case proved and imposed a fine of $20 and costs, Spring work is again in full swing. Quite a number have already sown some seed. â€" e k & "‘;I;-\R"l_ll Buchanan of Williamsfotd spent the past week with his grandâ€" father Mr. Andrew Scott, On Monday evening a meeting was held in the school to elect officers for the Sunday school, which opens on | the first Sunday in May.
