Mr. Elliott has been a resident of above township over a quarter of a century, and was one of our most successful farmers. He was very unassuming, and kind in disposition, while his character was uuspotted. He was taken with eau' cer in the month about two years ago, which continued its slow but sure and painful work, in the under part of the, mouth towards the throat, causing great suffering, the last week especially with the above result. His wife passed on before in January, 1884. Their family, consisting of three sons and three daughters, all sttrvive them. The funeral on Wednesday was largely attended.

Shepgard, editor of the ' !toronto News,hs^owa commendable '-ability and rare honor throughout his â-  recent perseeution.x In the first place he conducted his own case with a de- gree of cleverness that would do credit to any lawyer, and, had the trial taken place -^Heia the shadow of justic was possible, would have won it and, in th^second place, he respectfully de- clined proffered pecuniary assistance in the shape of subscriptions to defray his heavy expences in the suit, and also declined demonstrations of sym- pathy further than that which was so enthusiastically given him on his re- turn from Montreal after tne trial, when over 5,000 leading citizens o£ Toronto assembled at Union Station to welcome him and to present aoi ad- dress. The sympathy of the Domin- ion is with Mr. Sheppard, and public opinion echoed and re-echoed through the press in a manner seldom, if ever before witnessed. The independent and outspoken stand taken and caixied oat by the Neics, is giving it a position hi Canada which no other leading paper occupies, and if cnntinutd (as we have no doubt it will) will be th*- Leader of public oninion. Sc*tt Act. To tkt Editor of the Standard. Dkab EnrroB,â€" I am anxious that you should carry the Scott Act m Grey, hence I ask the privilege of saymg a few words of eneouragement. There is no use wastmg tune now in scolding for past mismanagement. Be sure you're right this time. Do not be influenced by the cry of "failure' It certainly is failure to the hquor tttiffic, and that is what we mean. Intoxicatmg Uquor stands in the way of the moral and spuritnal wielfare of hotel keepers and their families. It cannot be otherwise, for God says, "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drmk, that puttest tliy bottie to him and makest him drunken." Do not blame them so long as they observe the law. Do not even blame those who make the law. The electors are responsible for the eixistence of the law which licenses the traffic. "Vote it out." Here in Bruce the Act is doing great good. 1 am with- in five miles of a village which was notorious for drunkenness, now it is a model of society. In our own town, according to reliable testimony, there is on an average, about $30 per day less realized from the sale of Uquor. I do not say there is not considerable sold secretly, nor that none are seen drunk. But the bar trade is killed, and that means new life to hundreds of homes. There are dijfi.culties in, the way of enforcement, but they are becoming less. Hitherto the Govern- ment has not assumed the re- siwnsibiiity of prosecuting unless security for costs were forthcoming. This is no longer the- case. The Government cheers- aie instructed to spare no effort in loyally and faithfully oarrysng out the provisions of the law. "The new erder- in council;" which has caused so much uneasiness,, cer- tainly does, not "faoijitate" the opera- tions of, the Act, yet it does not in ueality weaken ii The order simply allows distillers to sell (npt in Sqott Act counties), in quantities, of 10 gallons.. Hitherto they were not per-- mitted to take out of bond at any time less than 40 gallons. The Scott Act totally, prohibits the sale of hquoir {in counties where it is in operation, except by those who are hoensed ac- cording to its pronsions;. and any distiller, or any other persondisposing. of it iui Biich counties QAQ be prosecuted^ Gheej: up frieDds in Grey. "Is not the Lord gone out before you " Many eyes are on you, and many prayers are going up for you. "March on nor fear to win theday." Yours sincerely, I Gbebve. PofibElgio, Oct. Sth, 1885.

TWO BOCSBSi nAlfOXB On Wednesday morning,, tkft 7th inst., about 1 o'clock, the residences of F. Monro, Piriiae Magistrate,^ and Thos. Aoderson, License Inspector of Orangeville, were badly shattered; supposed to hare been done by dyna- mite. It appears thai one or two cases of infraction of the Scott Act were tried before Monxo on the preTio.n8 day and it is thought that this was the cause of the dastardly attempt to de- stroy life and property. The town has offered a reward of $600 for the detection and convietioa of the guilty parties. MARVELOUS.

There were a large number more enteries this, year than last,, the worthy Secretary.^ Mr. Jas. Brodie, being obhged to. use a large number of blank entry tickets besides the printed ones. This shows a healthy state of things, and is due in a large measure, no doubt, to the fact that such sfaiunch, enterprising men as Bobert Ohver and Jas. Brodie are connected with the management. The attendance of visitors was large. The exhibit of horses in the various departments was nnsxceptionally fine â€" the speeding in the ring as usual forming one of the principal features ia connection with the ex- hibition. The show of cattle, sheep, and hogs^ are really good, although there was rather a small array of thoroughI»-eds. The poultry exhibit- ed attracted eensidemble attention. Mr. T. Conkey exhibited three very fine pair of Hamburghs. For full partieulara see prize list next week. The exhibits m the hall were numerous and good, roots particularly; ako big pumpkms and squashes. We Boticed some fine cabbage and celery. Horseshoes were plentiful and good. In the ladies work, there was as usual a good display.â€" iJdconc«. linPORTABrT.
