The W.C.T.U.have a twofold object in calling this meeting to-night, 1st, to hold a temperance conference.We have invited \u201call friends of temperance\u201d in order to compare notes, interchange sympathies, encourage ments and maps and plans and to inquire \u201cwhat next to do.\u201d Finding out and doing the next thing is the sure way to make progress.As iron shar-peneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.We hope that our wits may be sharpened by this meeting and that sparks of intelligence may tty off thick and fast, rekindling our zeal.Our second object in calling this meeting was to give public expression to our regrets at parting with Rev.Mr.and Airs.Pitcher\u2014earnest temperance workers and members of the W.C.T.U.We believe that all our temperance friends will also be glad to haiff^in opportunity to say good-bye to Mr.and Mrs.Pitcher and before the evening is over we will leave the meeting open for that purpose.In the narrow defile which leads to the ancient Arabian city Petra, in Mt.Seir, a caravan is encamped for the night.Early in the morning, with the first dawn of light, they must make their march before the heat of day.On either side of the narrow pass rise high perpendicular cliffs, black against the stany sky.White tombs line these rocky walls and glare through the gloom.They are unheeded for the heavy breathing of men and camels shows that the camp is wrapped in deep slumber.High on the lofty summit of one of the rocky peaks, stands the watchman eagerly scanning the sky.The night drags on.All is serene, not a cloud is to be seen.Suddenly from the camp below, reverberating from rock to rock, rises the shrill call, \u201cWatchman, what of the night.\u201d Back from the dizzy heights comes the reply, \u201cThe morning cometh and also the night.\u201d Soon the camp is all astir.Yes, the morning cometh ; gray streaks of dawn appear in the east, objects become partially visible.But approaching day brings disturbance in the atmosphere.It breaks up into conflicting currents, hot and cold, wet and dry.The wind sweeps down the mountain pass condensing the cool, damp air of the valley, and heavy clouds of damp mist shut out all signs of day.The darkness is thicker and blacker than before.Yes, \u201cThe morning cometh but also the night.\u201d We are traveling through thedesert.Long the night has lasted.The gigantic frowning walls of the liquor traffic rise on either side.Ruined homes, ruined men and women, tombs full of dead souls, dead hopes and dead affections glare through the gloom.Watchmen are eagerly scanning the signs of the times.VVe lift up our cry, \u201cWatchman, what of the night.\u201d Back there comes tons the old answer of Aft.Seir, \u201cThe morning cometh and also the night.\u201d Yes, we thought the morning was coming.The Dominion Government said to the country, \u201cProve, by passing the Scott Act in the counties that the country wants prohibition and we will bring forward National Prohibition as Government measure.\u201d The people flew to the work.Over the whole dominion swept the Scott Act wave.But the coming of the king of day aroused all the powers of darkness.Senators mutilated the Scott Act, rendering it inefficient and its success doubtful.The clouds settled down over us and we say \u201cWhere are the signs of day.\u201d But the day is coming all the same.The darkest time is just before day.Watchman, what of the night in Sherbrooke ?Hotels licensed to retail wine and spirituous liquors 13, shops 9, saloon 1, wholesale shops 2, total 25.Population of Sherbrooke, 8330.There is therefore one licensed whiskey shop to evbry 330 inhabitants.A recent petition against the increase of saloons, a petition representing the combined strength of the Episcopal, Congregational, Alethodist and Presbyterian churches, the Y.M.C.A., and the different temperance organizations, endorsed also by Rev.Father Dufresne as representative of the R.C.church was reeived with scant curtesy by our City Council.It is quite time for this Christian community to assert its self respect and to declare by votes that four out of six of our city councillors have been weighed in thç balances and found wanting and that their days of civic rule are nnmbered.All honor to Mr.White and Mr.Bryant who opposed the granting of each separate license and who were defeated only because they were outnumbered.You will pardon us if for the first time in our public meetings we speak of the W.C.T.U.work.As we did not have a public annual meeting with its annual reports we take the liberty to present them to-night.The Sherbrooke union was organized in Feb.1883.Since that time regular semi-monthly meetings have been sustained.Much credit is due Mrs.Dr.Bompas, the late President for her punctuality and perseverance in keeping up these meetings.Some one has said, \u201cIf I had something I wished done immediately I would give it to the busiest man in New York to do.It must be because Mrs.Bompas has so much to do that she has so faithfully performed her work in the Union.She has her full quota of family cares ; is Pres, of the W.B.M.in the Congregational Church, leads a bible class of women Friday p.m., is county W.C.T.U.Pres., and although for 72 years herfeethave walked lifes weary road, yet she recently canvassed South Sherbrooke with the Worlds Petition and obtained over 100, signatures and when the time comes to collect for the Bible Soicity, in all probability it will be her feet that will climb the Sherbrooke fiills to do it.We have always found that the busiest women are most constant in their attendance at the Union meetings.Some of our ladies beside their household cares are Presidents of Ladies aids, know the exact state of progression of every pair of stockings, every table scarf and shoe-bag iu the ladies aid store closet.They bake and bake for church socials ad infinitum ; they teach in Sunday School and help about S.S.pic-nics, they attend all the church prayer meetings and yet when W.C.T.U.meeting comes around, there they are.During the four years since the formation of this Union, a Band of Hope, consisting of over 200 members, with an average attendance of 00 has been sustained nine months out of the twelve in each year.The same Supt., Mrs.G.N.Hodge, has had charge of it and it is much to her credit that the large boys have remained in it, attending the meetings with uninterrupted interest.Through the influence of this Union a Band of Hope has been organized at Capelton, for which literature has been furnished by this Union.Alias Hurd is superintendent of Sunday-school work and she will from time to time make inquiries about temperance in the Sabbath-schoola.She has lately found out that in the Presbyterian Sunday-school, 67 of the scholars have signed the temperance pledge ; in the Congregational and Alethodist Sunday-schools, over 100 in each.Through the efforts of the Union, fermented wine has been banished from the sacrament tables in these churches.Occasionally the Union has succeeded in securing the services of distinguished temperance lecturers, and the people of Sherbrooke heve been privileged to listen to such lecturers as Airs.Barney and Mrs.McLaughlin from the United Statea, besides lecturers from different parte of the Dominion.Gospel temperance meetings have been held from time to time under the auspices ot the Union.For help in conducting these meetings we are greatly indebted to the resident ministers of the Gospel.Believing that the most effective way to hasten prohibition is to educate the young in temperance knowledge and principles, the Provincial Union presented in February, 1886, a petition to the Protestant Committee of Education praying that scientific temperance instruction be made compulsory in the Protestant public schools, and that the Barnes series of text books be authorized for that purpose.Also that all teachers be required to pass examinations in these text books before obtaining diplomas.The petition was granted to the extent that scientific tenqierance instruction was made permissory (not compulsory) that the Barnes series of text books mere permitted in the schools and examinations in them previous to obtaining teachers\u2019 diplomas compulsory.This threw back upon the W.C.T.U.the responsibility of pushing the Barnes text books into the schools.In Sherbrooke it is not likely to be a difficult matter.Our Protestant teachers arc pledged to scientific temperance instruction and the use of Barnes\u2019 series, and a promise from such teachers is a guarantee that the work will be done,\u2014and there is no work in connection with our organization from which we look for greater results that from temperance instruction in our public schools.We expect that our teachers are training the legislators of the next generation, and that they will all be prohibitionists.We have corresponded with nearly all the teachers in Sherbrooke county as well as city, with favorable replies from some.Our Flower Alission promises to be a useful one.Flowers for the shut in sick ones, in the hospital or in families who have no time to cultivate flowers.Kind sympathetic words, and sometimes a short reading, are what our Flower superintendent, Mrs.S.J.Foss, will be glad to bring to those who desire them, and if any of you know of any one to whom such visits will be acceptable, you will confer a favor by informing her of it.Evangelistic meetings are held eveiy week in the gaol for the Protestant prisoners and the reformatoiy boys.These are under the management of Aliss Edwards, our superintendent of that department.For assistance in cunducting these meetings she is greatly indebted to the resident clergymen.The work in this department is veiy encouraging.< >ur superintendent for the circulation of temperance literature Airs.A.S.Hurd, has placed in the post-office, Air.McDonald\u2019s store, the G.T.R.and Passumpsic railway stations, and in the cars of the Quebec Central and Passumpsic railways.Negotiations are pending in reference to placing them also on the cars of the Alagog & Waterl>*o and the International R.R.In placing their literature in public places we cast our bread upon the waters hoping to find it after many days.In all our work we turn for counsel to the ministers of the gospel.The Christian churches are great fortresses under theprotection of whose mantling guns we prosecute our work.The pastors are the commanders in chief whose signal flags direct our movement.And while in the valleys and retired lanes we perform our humble work we look with pride and love to the fortresses on the hills.\u201cWe loveThy churah.O God, Her wall, before 1 nee stand.Dear a, the apple of 1 bine eye, And graven on Tb'iie baud.\u2019\u2019 VVe do not forget that in the name of our society, the word Christian comes before the word temperance.We are Christian women before we are temperance women.The first energies of the W.C.T.U.woman should go to the church.To all the ordinances of the church she should bring her zeal, her faith her love and devotion.Her pastor should be able always to trust in her and know that for all needed service her answer is \u201cHere am 1.\u201d Since the organization of this union there have been frequent changes in the pastorate of the different churches.The Rev.Mr.Lee came to the Presbyterian church a few months ago and immediately began vigorous temperance work among his own people.He has ever been ready to lend a helping hand to the W.C.T.U.and has conducted for us several meetings in the jail, for which we are very grateful.Mrs.Lee hunted up the W.C.T.U.and immediately identified herself with it, becoming one of our vice-presidents.She has a family of little children and plenty to do at home and plenty to do in the church, but yet she finds time to attend our meetings and help us with her prayers.We much regret that Air.Lee is not with us to-night on account of his absence in Winnipeg.We welcome cordially to the ranks of temperance workers Mr.Maxfield, who has charge of the Baptist church here.A new church and new minister should mean reinforcement and increased efficiency to the whole church.The harvest of perishing souls is great.There should be work enough for all.How many theughts rush through ones\u2019 mind at the mention of the word New England.The Mayflower, Plymouth Rock, forests changing as if by magic to cultivated farms, villages and cities full of churches, schools and colleges, mission ships flying over the ocean, carrying the gospel and civilization to heathen lands, refinement, high intellectual culture and staunch piety pouring with the young life in New England into the WesteniStates.All these and much more come before us as we welcome to-night the Rev.Henry Barnes, pastor of Plymouth Congregational church.Is it not a matter of rejoicing to all that that church, one of the oldest in the city, lias after so long waiting at last obtained a pastor after its own heart.May his coming among us be not only to that church all and more then they hoped and prayed for but a blessing to the entire community.Amid the frequent changing of the Congregational and Presbyterian pastorate how restfxd has been the permanency and stability of the Methodist itinerancy.Other ministers have come and gone, but for three whole years the Rev.Mr.Pitcher has remained.During the vacancies in the other churches he has been obliged to do treble duty for the W.C.T.U.and he has braved it well.For his oft repeated services we are exceedingly grateful.Our meetings have always been open to him and he has recognized his right to a Beat whenever he came.We have not allowed him to vote nor even to present a minority report of one.We have not alwaya followed his advice.Like other people we are very ready to aak advice, we receive it gratefully and consider it carefully, and then we like.But it is impossible to estimati the value of a friend whole-aouled earnestness, outspeaking, such such readiness to serve shrewd insight and sound judgment.Aiay God bl« ss him in his future sphere of labor, leading him through the infinite storehouse of divine truth, making all this truth real in his own experience, endowing him with divine power in teaching them to others and giving him constant proof that the good seed is received into good ground bringing forth fruit a hundred fold.Mrs.Ifitcher is one of those to whom work for Jesus is rest.She cannot afford to lose a prayer meeting.In the church prayer meetings, in the W.C.T.U.prayer meeting, how many have been drawn up into communion with God through the inspiration that is in her prayers.We shall miss her as vice-Presideut, but more especially shall we miss her prayers.Dear sister, the Lord bless thee and keep thee; the Lord make His face to shine npon thee and be gracious unto thee; the Lord lift up the light of His countenance upon thee and give thee peace.Earthly partings suggest heavenly reunions ; earthly change, our unchanging God ; earthly trouble, the sunshine on the everlasting hills.\u201cThither our weak and w ear j ,te|>, are teudiag.Father and God with each frail child abide, Gnide us toward home, where ,U our wandering, ending.We ,hall ere Thee and \u2022hall be eatisfled.OTTAWA LETTER.WKKK OF WORK\u2014THE LANDS\u2014TEMPERANCE NEW MINSTERS, ETC.NORTH-W EST QUESTION\u2014 (From our oicn correspondent.) Ottawa, June 15, 1887.This last week has witnessed the performance of a good deal of useful work, both in the Committees and in Parliament.Nor has the haste to get on with the various bills, public and private, prevented a considerable amount of fighting by the parties in a number of the subjects brought up.On the whole, however, both have shown a laudable desire to \u201c clear off the paper,\u201d so as to leave the arrears as light as possible by prorogation.The bills advanced or put through were generally intended to amend the law in various respects, and aanction or give increased powers to new railroad corporations.For instance, Mr.Costigan iutroduoed a bill to give Boards of Trade the power to have weighers sworn, as in England, before licensing them.The bill of Mr.Thompson\u2019s (Minister of Justice) provides for the defacing of counterfeit notes by bank clerks or public officers, to prevent their further mischievous use.He accepted a suggestion of Sir Richard Cartwright\u2019s, to strike out the clause making the stamping of a name, or the like advertisement, on a good note, a criminal offence.The bill to establish a new Court to dispose of claims against the crown by a Judge, instead of by arbitrators and to give him $6000 a year and pay salaries to the officials, was passed The resolutions granting Prince Edward Island $20,000 a year excited some discussion early in the week.Air.Davies charged the Government with party objects and thought the Island deserved twice as large a grant.Sir Richard Cartwright did not object to this claim, but thought it would establish a precedent for appeals by the other Provinces.( Intario would have a large claim.It would establish a basis for arbitration between the Provinces, so that each ought to receive its due share from the Dominion.Sir Charles Tupper said this subsidy was based on a principle not applicable to any other province.There was no opintsMioii to the resolutions.The announcement lately, of the Government\u2019s having arranged for the putting of a line of steamers on the route between France (Harve), and Canada, with a view to the increase of their present trade gave satisfaction to Parliament.Col.Amyot\u2019s and Sir Richard Cartwright\u2019s complaints of its decline are correct, whether that of Sir Charles Tupper(be or not, as to the failure of this company hitherto, to make a commercial treaty with France, namely, her freqqent changes of government.Mr.Chapleau truly stated he had made three efforts for such a treaty, but the Republicans did not meet us half way.He added the Canadian Government was ready for another when they were also, and that the present negotiations with Spain for a similar treaty should be concluded before re-opening efforts with France.Among the further estimates passed was an item of one million for the Sault Ste Marie Cana), which it was designed to make as large as that on the American or Michigan side.Certainly Canada has ever provided handsomely for the creation and improvement of her canals, though the railways have been annually becoming more powerful competitors with them in the carrying of produce to the seaboard.Mr.Jamieson's resolutions calling for the suppression of the liquor traffic \u2014for the prevention of the importation, manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks excited much interest when first presented last week.He spoke briefly, but with clearness and vigor upon the evil nature of the traffic, in all respecta, with its deplorable results to the health, comfort and welfare of the people.He represented the Dominion Alliance, and would be supported by gentlemen on the Opposition as well as the Ministerial side.The people spent $40,000,000 a year in liquor which anly helped to impoverish and ruin them.Mr.Fisher, Liberal, seconded the motion in a good speech, also, and was similarly applauded.Mr.Girouard, a Montreal lawyer, argued that such a sweeping law was unnecessary, and that beer and wine-consuming communities were always sober and comfortable.He moved in amendment to permit the sale of these beverages.He amused the House by recalling the miracle of turning water into wine, to ahow that high authority was on his side.Mr.Fleming, of Nova Scotia, and other temperance men followed in support of the main motion, that gentleman sharply critised Girouard'* argument, contending that men would get drunk with beer and wine, which would be made stronger, and that the wine of the miracle was not intoxicating.Mr.Cargill, of Bruce, Ont., related his experience of (he complete failure of the Scott Act in his part of the country, the determination of the people, farm-erf and others, to have their liquor, and concluded by moving the repeal of the Temperance Act, as practically useless.Messrs.Jamieson and Fisher protested the amendment was out of order, but Sir John Macdonald denied it and was sustained by the Speaker.The debate having lasted till the opening of Holy Thursday, over which the Houses adjourned, was fixed for resumption last Monday.In the afternoon, Mr.Casey, Liberal, member for West Elgin, resumed the discussion, arguing that if the Seott Act was mischievous it should be repealed, if defective amended, or ineffective through neglect, it should be properly enforced by the Dominion Government, which had hitherto shown great indifference respecting it.He admitted that his and adjoining constituencies il a partial failure, because no officer was appointed to That duty belonged te and not to the He believed could should bition.Most thought the country not yet ripe for it\u2014that it could not be enforced, and some holding that, i case of prohibition, those engaged in the liquor traffic should compensated for their losses.After a reply from Mr.Jamieson, the mover of the main motion, and a last appeal for total prohibition, the Honse divided, rejecting Mr.Cargill'a amendment to repeal the Scott Act, by 145 against \u202237.Mr.Girouard's amendment, fav-tiring the sale of wine and beer\u2014for, 48 ; against, 136.Before the niait, motion was put Mr.Sproule moved iu amendment, to itrovide compensation for those iu

prohibition, the right time for its discussion would be when such a measure was before the House.Carried by 91 to 88;vote on the mam motion, as amended, for prohibition\u2014yeas, 70 ; nays, 112.Majority against 42.The tem-I>eranoe people have a good right to lie proud of sush a large vote for an extreme measure.They now know the sentiment of Parliament pretty well -that it is friendly to the C.T.Act, or local option, to a substantial measure of protection against free and indiscriminate trade in ixtoxicat-ing liquors and that many more members are ready for that prohibition the moment they think the majority of the people are desirous of it.Aa some speakers said, the remaining form wanted may be left to the agen cies of the pulpit, press and tem ance advocates.Sir John Macdonald bill, creating a new ministerial depa meut, trade and omnineroe, waa w received by the majority.He the rapid growth of our trade an commerce required a new minister for their supervision, protection and development, which the Finance Minister could not give sufficient attention.To lire vent an increase of the Cabinet the new minister would also be head of Customs and Inland Revenue, and would have a deputy and first-claw clerks.Co-operation with the Finance Minister, the two would form a Ti sury Ibtard like the English.The two branches would be administered comptrollers who, though mendiera Parliament, would not have seats in Cabinet.The adjustment of the taril for the development of trade would b the s|>ecial concern af the new mini the revenue being under the eh the Finance Minister.Mr.F.chell objected to the change ing fresh expense.Mr.Alills Uv the bill should be left over till session.It was quickly pi through committee.\t¦ Among a number of privai passed, later in

having completed its annual drill were inspected on Saturday last by Lt.-Col.Van Straubenzie D.A.G., who arrived the night before from Montreal, accompanied by the District Paymaster Lt.-Col.De Belle-feuille.The day was beautiful and the attendance of citizens was large.At 2:30 p.m.the regiment headed by their fine band came on to the ground, front formed company and were wheeled into line at once, opened their ranks and received the inspecting officer with a general salute.The men were then ordered to shoulder and the general went down the line and closely inspected the men, clothing, arms and accoutrements.Major Morehouse put them through the manual and firing exercise which they did with much precision and steadiness.The march past was omitted as Col.Straubenzie was obliged to return to town by the express at 4:28 in order to complete his arrangements for the jubilee review in that city.The roll call was next in order and everything being in perfect trim only took about half an hour to go through the whole regiment.Lt.-Col.Felton was then asked to form for attack, which he did, and the men were advanced and retired once or twice, wheeled to the right, firing all the time, reinforced from the main body, retired, main body closed on fighting line which charged, and the men halted, formed on their markers and closed to quarter column.Col.Straubenzie addressed them saying he was greatly pleased with the fine turn out and the neat, clean soldierly appearance of the men.He said he had never inspected a cleaner lot of volunteers, their arms, clothing, etc., being in really excellent condition.He was sorry he was obliged to leave so soon but he hoped to have more time at next inspection.Lt.-Col.Felton manœuvred the Battalion for nearly an hour afterwards and marched down to the Magog Bridge and back to the shed where they were thanked for their most creditabie turn out and dismissed.In the evening the prizes won at the annual target practice were presented in the Drill Shed where a very large audience had assembled.At 8:30 p.in.the men were formed in line by Major Morehouse who read the names of the successful marksmen.The first prize presented was the highest aggregate of the 20 best shots in each company, the prize being the silver bugle.The competition had been very keen and close for this valuable prize but No.1 maintained its grip on the bugle and so bugler Fraser of that company received the coveted prize at the hands of Miss Ruby Hunt.The next prize was a handsome medal given by the staff officers for the best shot in the B»ttalion.This was won by R.P.Doyle, and presented Mrs.VVm.Hunt.Then followed the company prizes given by their officers for the first and second highest scores made by the members.No.1 Co.,

1887.Present Mr.Justice Brooks.Thus.Parnell vs.Corporation of Hatley\u2014The Plaintiff claims from the Municipality $85 for 55 weeks support of his brother Win.Parnell who he alleges is a pauper.The Defendants plead that they are not by law bound to support resident poor persons and never became liable to the Plaintiff.The Plaintiff cites Art.587 of the Municipal Code which gives a discretionary power to Municipalities to contribute to the maintainaiice of poor persons resident in the Municipality.It is not shown that any by-law or resolution was ever passed by the Municipal Council of Hatley for the support of paupers, although it is admitted that in certain cases they had contributed to such support.It was decided in Upper Canada in 1801 that the Courts would not interfere to compel Municipal Corporations to exercise a discretionary power granted them by the legislature \u2014in a case similar fxi the present one\u2014 and this is undoubtedly the law.The Plaintiff also relied upon the law of nature\u2014 but under that law\u2014a greater liability would rest upon himself, the brother of the pauper, for his support than upon defendant.Action must be dismissed with costs
