BIGHMBNB HILL POST DITIEE Going South, West and East, includ- ing Maple, Thornhill. Toronto. _Mm:1_{hiyt_n, &:e., There can he no doubt that the Tem- perance people are greatly disappointed with the action of the Senate in amend- ing the Scott Act, allowing ale, beer and light Wines to be sold where the Act is enforced. They have good reason for feeling disappointed. Whether the adoption of the Scott Act is the best means of mak- ing people total abstain-ere, or whether it would really do any benefit to the temperance cause is a disputed question. The impression of the great majority of earnest total abstinence advocates is that the adoption of the Scott Act would undoubtedly do good, and thinking so they are not to be condemned for trying,r to have it adopted. Their motive is a good one, whether they succeed in their expectations or not. But while they feel disappointed that Senator Almon and twenty-six other Senators do not think as they do on this matter, that is no reason why they should abuse those who differ With them. The hardest thing in the world is to learn that other people may be as good, honest and con- scientious as you are and yet hold a diiferent opinion from you on many sub- jects. Many of the total abstinence advocates see and acknowledge that such is the fact, but some who are desirous of being considered temperance men have taken it upon themselves to abuse and villify Senator Almon, and in fact the whole Senate because the amend-- ment was earned. They seem to think it is impOSs-ible these Senators may have considered they were acting rightly in voting as they did. Just such men as these injure any cause, and are a source of weakness to those they profess to assist. The idea of calling the action of the Senate “impertinence,” and attributâ€" ing it to “their deep sympathy with the accursed trafiic” could onlv originate in a mind narrow, small and bigoted. Let the motiVes of these Senators be what they may, the total abstinence or tem- perance cause will gain nothing by such absurd and childish criticism. While we believe the Senate may have acted from good and worthy motives, we do not think any fault should be found with those who are strongly opposed to having the Act amended in this way. The advocates of total prohibition are working for the benefit of humanity,â€" such at least is their object, and they are to be commended for the unselfish and unwearied efl'orts made on behalf of' their fellow men. But, many men, just as good and honorable, think that tem- perance can be better advanced by the use of ales and light wines, and they are not to be abused for thinking so. The Rev Mr Macdonnell. of Toronto, Rev. Messrs McLeod, Reid and Gregg, and Rev S P Rose, Newmarket. hold broad and liberal views on the temperance question, and many clergymen through- out the country endorse their opinion. Yet. some canting, hypocritical persons would bury these honest, worthy men under a load of slander and calumny, because they do not think differently. Going North :Bpring Goodsâ€"I. Crosby.

MAR. ‘24, 1881 POST OFFICE NOTICE The temperance cause is advancing, intemperan‘ce is rapidly decreasing in the land, and the more reasonable and liber- al temperance advocates become the greater influence they possess, the great- er power to advance the cause they have at heart. Meanwhile whatever action the Senate may take that is no reason why advocates of total abstinence or tear peran‘co should cease in their efiorts to make the world a little better than they found it. Ifthe amendment to the Scott Act should be carried by the Commons next session, these who believe it will injure the cause of temperance need not agitate for its adoption, but they also need not cease to agitate for a more satisfactory law, and the less abuse, and more reason employed the better.

The ladies around our town are beginning to think Hummer is a queer kind of a fellow, and to tell you the truth I believe myself he is, as he seems to be always pitching in to the ladies, which I think is a great shame Simâ€"With all due respect for your valuable paper, I think a great injustice is being: done to its readers, especxally those residing in the village of Woodbridge. Our village is generally admitted to be the “Hub” of the township, and might furnish news every week of a reliable and interest- ing character, without your correspondent having to draw on his imagination. I refer to one yclept “Hummer." The River Humber rose to a great height on Saturday and Sunday. Ajam ofice got against the bridge at Wallace Bros. Mill on Sunday, and it was thought at. one time the bridge and dam would be swept away, but by hard work the we got loosened and it all went away without doing much damage, only washing zmay part of the sideroud and bank of the race, &c. The latter part will be repaired as soon as possible, and the former as soon as our generous louncil thinks proper, about next. fall. The spring.r freshet has not been so high for a number ot'years. One side of Main Street was a mass of water all day Saturday and did great damage to the side of the road and sidewalks, which latter were floating around at the mercy of the waves. The Schomberg Dramati'c Society will be bergon Friday and Sawrdgy next._ The followmg {umber particulars of dam- age done by the recent high freshet in the River Don have been gigangd :7”, The water rose very high during Satur» day night owing to the heavy downpour of rain combined with the large quantity of snow in the back country. and large jams of ice were formed. causing the water to back up. thereby temporarily suspending work in the upper Don paper mills. The water ran through the windows, doing some trifling damage. It Should have been Congregational Social last week, not Presbyterian. There will lJe a lot of'new buildings erected heme this season, and 0t couxse that will cause a humm. The township bridge, spanning the river at the forks near the paper mills, Don Mills road, was carried off thereby suspending all traflic. Three private bridges belonging to the Messrs.

By noon five inches of snow had fallen 'lhis 1s a gveat intenuptmn to telegraphic business. The wixes look like two- inch ropes. llie storm was not very severe in the north, but, extended west as for 9.4 Omaha, and south to St. Louis and Kansas City. and east as far as Czestline. Mr- Cosgrove replied in a few happy and appropriate remarks, and after several selections from the Band, a, few cigars and some soda water the gatherâ€" ing dispersed . A Circular from Clinton Council, was read, regarding: High School Grants, stating that, the Schools had been seriously injured by the Government Grants, falling from $36 to $3 per pupil in five years, and not beingr fixed at a stated sum, and recommending that the Grants in future be made at a stated sum for each Intermediate pupil; also stating that the Grants to Collegiate Institutes were too large in proportion to the number of teachers employed . ACCOUNTS. From J. A. Stewart, printing 175 Treasurer’s accounts $ 3 .25 50 eight sheet bills............... 1 .50 The Clerk stated that there were some errors in the Accounts, the statement of assets had been placed in the wrong column, and there were other trifling errors. ' He wished the Council to accept the job before be distributed the accounts. On Friday last, Mrs and Miss Eddy, ofPort Albert, near Port Perry, were arrested on a charge of murdering a baby. On the 6th of March, a young girl named Mary Eddy, gave birth to a male child . The Doctor says it was :1 fine healthy child. About a week after the Doctors called and Mrs Eddy told them'the baby was dead. She brought the body into the room. and throwmg it down on a bench, like a block of wood, said "There it is.” The Doctor examin- ed the body, and come to the conclusion that its death had been caused by want. of proper nourishment. A coroner and jury went to the house to hold an in- quest, but could not find the body, and both Mrs Eddy and her daughter denied all knowledge of where it was. Govern- ment Detectiye Murry made a diligent search for the body, even digging up the clay in the cellar. but found no trace of the child. The women were arrested, and after examination liberated on bail. Minutes of last-'mieeting read and approyed. , Richmond Hill, March 21,1881. Council met. The Reeve in the chair. Present, Messrs.

Mr Hiram G Bernard, has a well train- ed horse, and while driving down the street the driver commenced to whistle “Yankee Doodle. ” The horse stopped picked up his ears and at the second bar, commenced to dance keeping ex» cellent time. The louder Mr Bernard whistled, the harder the horse danced; ahd when the venerable owner comâ€" mcnced to sing the animal rose up on his hind legs and executed a series of evolutions surprising as they were dan- gerous to the shafts of the venicle. The fun was kept up for about ten minutes, when the animal settled down to its legitimate business and trotted off. Mr Bernard. who is seventy-eight years of age, trained the horse himself.

TOWER.-â€"A meeting of the members of the English Church was held on Tuesday evening last, to consid- er the question whether it would be advisable to complete the tower or purchase a new organ . After consider- able discussion it was decided, to let the matter remain in abeyance until after Easter. Several parties have promised liberal subscriptions towards completing the tower. GOING AHEAD.-â€"â€"The new Presbyter- ian Church is being rapidly finished, and will be all ready for the opening on the 24th of May. One can now form an idea of What a fine~looking Church it will be The ceiling is- lofty, and the body of the church well-proportioned. The basement makes an excellent room for Sabbath School, and Other meetings. It has plenty: of light. is free from dampness, and has a ceiling sufficiently high to giveit a large and commodious appearance. Thzrc is no feeling of being crowded or crushed, as is often the case in basements, when low ceilings give a squatty appearance to the room We hope the Presbyterians will have a very successful opening. C. M. CHURCH OPENING.â€"-The open- lug services in connection with the C. M Church were brought to a close on Sunday last. Prof. Burwash, of Victoria University, delivered an excel» lent sermon in the morning, on the subâ€" ject of “prayer.” The Rev Mr. Metealf‘e, of Eglington, addressed the congregation in the afternoon, ,in an eloquent and Impressive sermon. In the evening Rev. J. Bredin, of Alliston, for many years pastor of this Church. discoursed with good effect from the text, Isaiah. 11th chap. 53rd verse, “He shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied." The Rev. Gentleman handled the subject; ayery ably. There was no service held in the Presbyterian Church in the evening, and the congregation attended the service in the Methodist Church. The Rev. I. Campbell closed the service with prayer. The Church was well filled at the three services, and large collections were taken up. A Goon FARM.â€"Mr. John Nixon, of this village. purchased, a short t1me ago, the Horner Farm, from Mr. lsaac Crosby, for some $3000. This property is situated on Lot No. 48, let Con. of Markham, containing 50 acres, all under cultivation. There is a commodious and comfortable rough-cast dwelling house, barns and other buildings on the premises, also an abundant supply of water. This farm was formerly rented for $500 a year, and 115 bushels of oats to the acre. have been raised on it. Mr. Laurie Smith has the place rented at present. We wish Mr. Nixon every success when he becomes a tiller of the soil. He certainly deserves to prosper, as he has accumulated his money by hard work and industrious habits. When Johnny settles down to manage the farm andj oins the noble army of Benedicts he will be as snug as a bug a rug. Johnny 1s well known all over the country, and every one who has seen and experienced his obliging manner and good natured way will wish him every success and happiness Who will be the fortunate daughter of Eve?

The whole structure collapsed, and had to be moved in pieces. It will be a rather heavy loss for Mr. Quautz. NEW LANDLORD.â€"Mr. \Varren Hewiâ€" son has leased the Robin Hood Hotel, which has been managed by Mr. Cosâ€" grove for the past five or six years. Mr. Cosgmve has not yet decided as to where he will locate for the future. Mr. Hewison will make an accommodat- ing and successful landlord, we have no doubt, and will give satisfaction to the travelling public RFNTING ins.-The pews in the C. M. Church. were rented on Monday evening last. The congregation were well represented, and considerable inter- est was evinced in selecting seats. Many of the double pews rented for $16. Nearly every seat on the ground floor, and many in the gallery were let. Over 3400 has been raised by the pew rent. There will be plenty of room for every one, several of the best; seats in the church have been reserved for strangers. THE SCHOMBERG TROUPE.â€"-Aft-er billing this village twice, this troupe failed to put in an appearance. They did not. even send any announcement that they would not be on hand. Bad roads is supposed to be the reason of their non appearance. 'Woodbridge is billed for Friday and Saturday, but it is not likely they will appear. Some folks are asking if there is such an or- ganization as a "Schomberg Dramatic Troupe.” The British forcns at Candahar are all ready for the march, and the place will be evacunled us soon as the Ameer is strong enough to occupy it. The evacuation is expected to take place early in April. The Imperial government is said to be contemplating the expendltme of £l, 500, 000 m the purchase of 1, 000, 000 acres of the most reclaimable of the waste lands 1n Ireland, which they will afterwards apportion among tenants in thirty-acre farms.

PETERSBURG, March 2[.-â€"It is re- ported that the Emperor will issue a pro- clamation of his deceased father’s marriage with the Princess Dolgouroki, wishing to pay marked deference to that lady. The princess is said to have a handsome fortune lodged for her in the Bank of England. 'l‘he- Nxhilist emissaxies were posted along two routes by which the Czar might have reluxned to the Winter Palace. Had he escaped them there was the mine on Little Sadowa-street. It was expected that the Czarevitch would be returning wilh his father. Fifteen Nihilists were engaged in the Czur’s death; eighteen in the Winter Pal- ace explosion. and three in the assassination of Mezentzolf.

Gentlemen qf the Senate ; Gentlemen of the House of Commons ,- My Ministers will, however, not relax their efiorts in the same direction, and it is believed by the united action of the Government and she compenya large influx of valuable settlers may be confidently anticipated. Such immigra- tion must tend to enhance the value of the pub- lic domain in the Northwest. THE FREE GRANT SYSTEM. While the system of making free grants to actual settlers will be maintained in its integrity, the lands reserved for sale by the Crown, will, it is believed, be disposed of at nricee euflicient eventually to repair the whole of the expenditure of money by the Dominion on the construction of the railway. The extension of the boundaries of Manitoba. will confer the privilege of local self governâ€"- ment on the people who are alreadv resident in, or who may hereafter occupy, the area now added to the Province, and by enabling the legis- lature to establish municipal institutions its en- larged limits tend greatly to add to the welfare of that interesting region. NATURALIZATION. The amendment of the naturalization laws, will, I trust, have the effect of removing the dis- advantages under which emigrants from Europe have hitherto laboured, and of attracting a large influx of population from the old world. RAIL‘V’AYS . The consolidation and amendment of the general railway Acts and of the laws relating to Government railways have improved and eye-- tematized our railway legislation. INDIAN AFFAIRS. I am pleased to observe that ouhave not been forgetful of the interests of the naie-n population of the North-west. It is greatly to be hoped that efforts to induce them to forsake their nomadic habits, and betake themselves to pastoral and agricultural pursuits will be successful. By no other means can their civilization be promoted, the Indians themselves rendered self-reliant and self‘ supporting, and the Dominion Treasury re-- lieved of the burden of rescuing them from their apparently chronic state of destitution.

I saw Mrs Holloway first professionally on Mon- day, the 7th inst , about five o'clock p. m ; I thought at first sight there was something ecu- liar in the case, and on enquiry the decease told me she had attempted to procure an abortion. I examined her and found she was pregnant about two and a half months; I told her if .she would not interfere with herself she would do well ; she asked me to give hei‘ medicine to assist in procuring an abortion ; I refused ; she said her reason for doing so was that she wanted to go to England during the coming summer to see her mother ; I saw her again the following Thursday with Dr Free] ; the abortion had then taken place ; she was then in a very weak state, and I considered in a dangerous condition ; some three days afterward I saw her, with Lrs Freels and Robinson, and Dr Freel told her it was our opin- ion she was going to die, and asked her if she had any statement to make ; she said she thought she had better make no stutemzntl ; my opinion as to the cause of death is that it was bloodâ€" poisoning, arising from the absorption of foetid or decomposing matter in the womb, being possibly absorbed from the point Where the in- jury was inflicted. “BROWN’S HOUSEHOLD PENACEA" has no equal for relieving pain, both internal and ex- ternal.
