Subscribers for the SrANDAB* who Lave in the past called at this office for their paper, together with those in the village whose papers haye here- tofore been delivered, are hereby noti- fied that after this week (2lBt Feb.) all such papers will be delivered in the post office. This will doubtless be more satisfactory both to publisher and subscribers, as the latter have to -call at the P. 0, for other mail mat- ter and can therefore kill the two "birds with one stone. Now let us ask is it wise after pulling in- fancy and youth and adult age through all this ecus* of stimulants, and after creating in the larger portion of mankind the neces- sity, or at least the habitual use of them, does it appear intelligent to set up a crasade against a single form of the abuse â€" the al- coholic â€" and proceed t wage war against it? Is this an intelligent waifare against this enemy of mankind 7 Is it not plain enough that reform must begin earlier and be more comprehensive? Evidently the great root of the evil has been entirely overlooked by workers in the temperance cause. Fleslierton. COIVSEBVATIVE TION. i;OIWTElÂ¥- The convention held at Fleshertou io-day, (Thurs-^ay) was very largely attended, every polling sub division was fully represented. The lollowing 'were nominated Messrs. Thomas McKenny, reeve of CoUingwood tp. Thoi. Kells, Artemesia M. Richard- eon, merchant, Flesherton Wm. Howey, ex-Reeve, HoUand Dr. -Chriisfcoe, Reeve, Artemesia John McArthur, Priceville Cap. J. Rorke, 'Collingwood tp. ThoB. Andrews, mil- ler, Thornbury N. McColeman, ex- Reeve, CoUingwood tp. John Lyons, Markdale N. McGirr, ex-Reeve, Osprey Jas. Lamon, Lawyer, Uun- djilk. A general feeling of unanimity pre- vailed, which was somewhat unex- pected. The following withdrew from the list of nominations before a vote was taken: McKeunv, McArthur, Lyons, McGirr and Lamon, leaving seven candidates. The first vote gave N. McColeman forty-nine out of one hundred and sixteen votes, and the second gave liim some twenty of a majority of the whole, when he was made the unani- mous choice of the convention. The prospects are that Mr, McCole- man will have the largest vote ever polled in East Grey by one man. HYCIENE. Our objection to pastry, which is in such "Ccmmon use, and so highly prized by many, is simply that it consists of an almost indiges- tible compound of hog's grease and flour, the cause, doubtless, of a large proportion of the indigestions, dyspepsias, and liver diseases of which so many complain. Children of a very tender age must be regal- ed on tea and coffee; vegetables and sauces must be peppered and spiced before they are sap- posed to be palatable. Well -meaning tem- perance people do not usually understand the effects of the habitual use of these articles in their families. The child commences with tea, not very strong at first, perhaps, but it creates a craving for a stronger infusion, next he must have his meats highly spiced, he must have a liberal allowance of animal food he cries for more and more of these stimulants until as be grows up something yet stronger is demanded, an appetite has been createtl for tobacco and ardent spirits. His nerves are rendertd iriitale and excitable, his bl od is not in its normal state, his desires and pas- sions are on fire, he has already made considerable progress in the downward car- reer, when his friends have begun to fear that he has just commenced it. His parents have not the remotest idea of the cause or befin- uing of the mischiet, or that they themselves with the help of a propei knowledfie of the laws of hygiene might have prevented all this evil. Those, to be sure, who are gifted with rare self-control and favorei by the ele- rating influences of intellectual and moral culture, good society and religion, may in a measure restrain and correct their perverted appetites, and escape. Few parents, however, understand that in allowing their children this highly stimulating diet, they are work- ing most effectu.ilJy against the c.Tu.-e they have fo mucn at heart, taatthe child living iu this way is in an irritablo,abn..rnial,wc might almost say feverish condition of the physical system, unfavorable to proper bodily growth and development, and which renders it d.fli- cult for him to avoid the course cf the bauchee and the drunkard. Th the care of inebiiate asylums afte- they have been deprived of fa, coffee spices, tobacco, and animal food, thev have then no great difliculty with the uufortun.ites they woull caie of their monlinate ciaving for intoxicating drinks, but that so long as the milder and commonly, but enoneou?Iy supposed harmless stimulants are allowed them theycinnot be ciu-edof the appetite for I Eongh Skin From our own correspondent. The entertainment given imder the aus- pices of the A.O.U.W. in the town hall last Friday evening was fairly attended. Mr. M. P. McMaster occupied the chair, and after a few brief remarks entered upon the program. Messrs. Vanzant and McDowell rendered some sweet music during the evening on the violin and organ; MisSes Christoe and Hich- ardson sang a duet very artistically Mr. ai. Richardson occupied about ten minutes and gave some very interesting statistics relative to the Order. Prof. Watson, of Toronto, was present and sang a number of songs in character. Mr. Watson evinced some ability as a comic singer but a number of his selec- tions were below par with a Flesherton audi enoe. Our popular Scottish vocalist, Mr. J. R. Anderson, was present, but owing to ill- ness was not able to use his vocal powers, much to the dismay of many in the audi- ence. A few weeks ago a communication from a Flesherton correspondent to the Dandalk Herald came under the critical eye of the editor of the Advance, and probably feeling a little chagrin that any "one in Flesherton should send spicy, newsy letters on current events and topics of general interest, to an outside paper, whUe his own proverbial dull sheet was neglected, he scanned the letter carefully over and at length found one small typographical error, a misplaced date figure, and from this he took a text for a paragraph in his own paper in his usual vulgar style. To this the Herald correspondent rephed in a letter which would have made any man in the Advance editor's position smart, if at all sensitive. To this the Advance replied in a paragraph princioally composed of such epithets as fool, blockhead, thickhead, Ac. Again the Herald correspondent gave him the lash and laid it on so effectually a? to smart even through such a tough hide as his subject can boast of. The editor of the Herald, Mr. T. Hall, a gentleman well and favorably loiown, made a few remarks in a half playful manner on the correspondence, bat in doing so neithar forgot what was due to gentlemanly courtesy to his own profession nor his own self respect. At this the Ad- vance comes out in an article vulgarly abu- sive, personally vindictive, but perfectly in accord with the characterof a vulgar, ignorant bully. It commences with " the little local preacher who makes a pretense of editing that insignificant sheet dignified by the title of the Duhdalk Herald" and goes on to call him little "fucker," an "ignoramus" and other such approbrious epithets. Now when it is known that this same Fawcett, Adcarice editor, professes to be a member of the Meth- odist church, -in the service of which Mr. Hall has been a successful, useful, honored and acceptable lay preacher for many yoars. The bad, nay even brutal taste of the writer of this scurrilous paragraph is singularly apparent, but when he styled Mr. Hall an ignoramus he floundered out of even his own shallow waters, ps the wide gulf between the intelhgence, education and general ability erf* the two men is so apparent and well known that comparisons are odious. But whei^ h« called Mr. Hall a "sucker" he chose a term that so well and Appropriately defines His own charactei that it is mere folly to send it from home. It never did and never can fit the spunky 'ittle man that edits the Herald, but if the word sucker defines a man without means or brains who imposes himself on a suffering community and who has not got enough sense to hide from the public gaze his own scanty mental furnishings, but as- suming the role of an editor, exhibits weekly his Lick of intelhgence and glories in his shame, then tht word will accurately desig nate the editor of the Advance.
