ROWDYISM IN CHUM-H Our brief editorial remarks anent \ >\vilyin in the Methodist Church, Klesherton, lias subjected us to some i ither uncomplimentary allusions. la fact we have been threatened with what, we have not yet been told bocause we dared refer to the mat- ter the way in which we did. One uiij' man said the public regarded it as a direct allusion to himself, I '.cause, as he said, he was wrong- fully accused of being one of the i .wdirs referred to. Now, we did not refer to any One I'uriicularly, because we did not know who the rowdy or rowdies were. We only knew that somebody acted as no- Ixnly but a rowdy would act in (iod's liousc, and felt justified iu condemning Mich rowdyism in strong terms. \\e did so, and it is not our intention to i:ikc back a single expression made M. -e of in the objectionable (?) editorial i. fi-rred to. all manner of threats to the contrary notwithstanding. We should be Borry to accuse any young man wrongfully of rowdyimii, for no our envies the character of a rowdy. It would be villainous to HOCUSO n i mi of that of which he is not guilty ; made no personal allusionn thcre- \f RtaUd f-ioU; and whoever lie cap fits can put it on. .\ TIK>l;\J:UKY. There is a certain amount of the rowdy element iu all our towns aud villages, which, if law and order is to be maintained, must be stamped out at once and forever, or tLc results will in disastrous. Like malignant ami contagious diseases, this rowdy- istic element has a tendency to spread and corrupt the morals of the rising generation. The disgraceful vanda- lism of Owen Sound roughs at Sal- vation Army meetings, is only equalled by that of birds of the sumc feather iu the village of Thornbury. In reference to the rowdyism mani- fested iu the latter place at Salvation Army meetings, the Thornbury Stan- dard of last week says : - Wherever God erocU Imuto of prayer, The Devil alwayi build* a chapt-l thore ; And 'twill U found upon . xauiii ation. The latUir ha* the large*! cougrvgatlon." These lines from Daniel Defoe cause us to think of the barbaric Vandalism perpetrated nightly by the youth of our rillages returning from the meet- ings of the Salvation Army in the hall. All along the line arc mark 3 of st-nsr- less and vexatious destruction. Win- dows broken at Browster's and Croziers, fresh painting besmeared, the Clarksburg bridge railing broken down, fence pickets tern oil' here and there, fences built across the road at the Catholic church, etc, all of which show* a senseless devil -inspired mal- iciousness. We are glad to know that our Koevc has taken .slips to prevent a iccurrence of such Vandalism, ami we sincerely hope he will be successful in bringing the guilty OUCH tojuaticc."

The latest despatches from Aus- tralia report that a sculling inuU'li with Trickett and Beach against llanltn for 1,000 has been arranged. The libel and slander suit brought against the Meaford Mirror by Mr. Candlcr at the Owen Sound asaizea last week, resulted in a verdict for plaintiff of (50 and costs, instead of the $5000 damages originally claimed.

Smith. THE ACT. The Scott Act will shortly be sub- i nttrd in the County of Sinicoc. The Temperance people are enthusiastic in the matter, and are determined to tiny the Act by all fair and honor- iilile means. Anti-temperance men ;irr> jtint IXB detirmined to defeat it. I'.iit. ns intimated in a previous issue ( f THE ADVANCE, Temperance princi- plM are growing vwrj rapidly in this eo'intry, ami if t|ip temperance people (illy manifest ordinary prudence, the day of total prohibition even may not be very far distant. Ten yi-nrs i'fro the more thoughtful of teni)HT- ii nee j>eoplc almost, if not altogether, considered total prohibition a moral i-npossibiijty, public opinion scorned t i lie so thoroughly prejudiced against such an net.

It is the intention, we believe, to ibmit the Scot Act in every County Ontario ii; due prow sa of time.

It is a good idea to sub- lit the Scot Act, in this way, as it v. ill pave the way for a national pro- l.ibitory liquor law in the near future. v mott it be. The Toronto World is no more. The last number wan i-nie.l on Satin-day, the l'2th inst.

Hence every udvuiired thinker, and uvery unprejudiced indi- vidual will sincerely regret ita un- tijmely demise. The IVtroit fret f*reu uys . " The Toronto rFr/r/<Mms siiccniubed to outrageous fortune. It was the pluckiest attempt to make a truly in- dependent newspaper that Canadian journalism has witnessed, but the Canadian mind i too narrow or tlie rewards of party servicu too tempting to make pronounced iiulrpriidfiicc a success over there.

We take this opportunity of directing the at- tention of our Township Fathers to the matter, in the hope that they will govern tl*-in-vK. * accordingly. We believe less than forty dollars would ! necessary to make a good job of it.
