We have no particalar pxcuse to make for haying so soon enlarged the paper to its old size, except that of an increased advertising patronage. We trust our correspondents will continue to make their department of the paper a leading and indispensible feature in the Standakd. Subscribers who are in arrears would greatly assist by squaring accounts. Do not allow the coming January to arrive before pay- ment is made of all arrearages; it does not amount to much for you, but it is very embarrassing to us, having seyeral hundred of this class on our books. We would heartily thank those who have been so prompt in the past, and trust their number will increase. We also owe a debt of gratitude to a num- ber of our correspondents for their regular and valued correspondence. 'Do not weary, c." PROHIBITION. In several city, as well as local papers, the question of a plebiscite, or general yote over the whole country, us to the desirability of prohibiting the liquor.. traffic, has recently been discussed and generally favored. This could be dooe at a general election without any material cost, and would serve as a test, whether the country is favorable to such legis- lation or not. There would be an ad- vantage in taking the verdict of the people wholly apart from political partyism, and would test the sincerity of those who find :^alt with every measure of practical legislation for limiting the traffic, but who profess to be favorable to a general prohibitory law. It is yery evident that without the support of a general public senti- ment in favor of prohibition, a pro- hibitory law could not be efficiently enforced. GiiOiiE GALL. On 8ahjlM»%, itM\B Mr. Thos. Williserolt, a joong man who resides a mile and a iutlf from Williamsford Station, and who is a member of Hdland Gonaeil, together with Wm., son of Mr. C. F. Moore, Coim^ Sheriff^ were sitting in a boggy in the yard of Mr. Williscroft, youig Moore had been handling his revolver, and on {putting it m his pocket one diamber somehow discharged, tlie bullet piercing WilUscroft's breast and entering the lung. Drs. Oldham of Chatsworth and Denham of Owen Sotmd were in attendance the same evening, bat we understand did not succeed in extracting the bullet. A report came to Markdale on Monday evening to the effect that the wotmded man had died but, we were more tban gratified to learn the following day, that the report was false, and that there were no unfavorable symptoms. WilUscroft is not at all out of danger yet strong hopes are entertained that he. will fully recover. He is a strong healthy young man of about 28 years, and very highly respected. It appears he and young Moore were going out the following day on a tour through the county serving jurors subpoenas, and bemg very intimate the latter came from Owen Sound to spend Sunday with him e'er starting, when the above sad occurrence took nlace.

Turner* Co. Oct Presentation and Address. SIGNS OF THE TIMES. There is a probability tha^ the recent North-West rebellion will prove the commencement of a new era for our fair Dominion and when we con- sider seme of the circumstances in connection with the rebellion, and in- cidents which have grown out of it, they are indeed very suggestive. Kiel, the ringleader, has been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged that his execution will not take place, appears very probable, and why Is it because he is of French .origin It appears very like it. Had he b;eu English, Irish or Scotch, or even a Canadian, he would certainly have swung. Then take another instance, viz., the late trouble between Sbeppard, editor of the News, and the 65th Bat talion the defendant was found guilty of libel without knowledge, and fined $200, which be promptly paid. This .did not satisfy the wishes ot the motly crowd, but on his (bheppard) leaving tiie court-room, the desperadoes t tempted to mob him, and because he dared to defend himsef b; drawing a revolver from bis pocket, he was ar- rested and draged to prison, while his chief assailant was not only let go un- punished, but pronounced by the officials, together with his bloodthirsty associates â€" "all gentlemen." â€" Shep- pard was of course released, but had to be guarded by the police in order to save him from the lawless throng. Can it be possible that England's brightest colony is to be ruled by such a biased and disloyal element It is high time that patty politics were a secondary consideration, if not burned altogether. It is evident to every observing mind, that party is first and C3nntry second at the present tiioe, and it is also plam to be seen that if a etaange does not soon take place, we will loose our boasted and much to be cherished "equal rights to all." The country is leing thoroughly awakened to its dangerous position, and all lovers of British justice will require to throw politics to the wind, and demand om ^e powers that be, a fesffless on- Wftvoring and unbiased justice, which alone ean bring oontinned peace and prograM in oar £ur DraniiuoD. On Friday evening last, prior to Mr, S. M. Smythe's departure from our town for Binghamplon, New York State, where he has accepted a per- manent situation, a large party was given at the residence of Mr. Corn- wall, when the guest of the evening was made the recipient of a handsome present, together with the following address, which he responded to in a lew brief remarks To S. M. Smythe, Esq.: Deab Sib, â€" It is with the most poignant feelings, of regret, that we have but learned within the past few days, of your departure from amongst us. The unexpected nature of your removal is intensified by the fact, that your absence will cause a void in th« social circles of our town of which you formed a prominent feature, and lenders our separa- tion the more painful. We herewith present you with this testi-. monial of our esteem for yon, and had it not been for the limited time at our disposal, would have made it of a mere substantial' character. Trusting you will accept the gift in the spirit in which it is given-^Jiot for its intrinsic worth â€" we trust that you will find oppcrtunity in the future to renew the asso- ciations of the past. Wherever you may go in the pathway of Ufe, rest assured that a friendly greetuig will be wafted upon the breeze from i(f arkdale to your new home. Signed in behalf of admiring friends, HyoQ Mebceb, W. T. Jackman, Fbakk Pobteb, W. J. Benson. ♦»* A SAD CASE.

Led by Uie band e men marcht^ in military order from the station^ when airiving at e Ihrill Shed there were several hundred people present to welccHme them home. After b^g relieved of their aeconterments, the men were invited to sit down to a snmptaoDS spread provided by the kind ladies of the village. After tea, short addresses were dehvered by Rev. Mr. Ayres and Captain Campbell. The Captain spoke in the most praiseworthy terms of his men and their conduct, also heartily thanked the ladies for their kindness in preparing for them such a handsome spread. Tne men all looked hearty and looked as if they had enjoyed their days in camp. A threshing machine accident which resulted fatal happened to Mr. Alex- ander Smith on Friday last near Eu- genia. Mr. Smith's clothing being caught by a bolt in the tumbling shaft, he was thrown violently against a post and severely injured in the spine. He remained quite conscious to the last and passed eacefully away to join the company of the first born on Sabbath evenintc. His remains were followed by a large concourse of friends and^interred m the Flesherton cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. It is also our sad duty to record the decease of another of our citizens, being that of Mr. James Gadd, ot the firm of Gadd Milburne of this village. Deceased was a youns: man married only a few months, a highly respected citizen, tho' early, life was seized with that monster lung disease, and on Tuesday evening passed away. His young and sorrowing widow has the sympathy of the entire community.
