TOWNX HALL, WATERLOO. x* Mr. Robert Brown, for nearly two seore years a resident of Brampton,died at his hom», Thomas Street, on Sunday morning, Nov. 24, aged 75 years. A native of Stow, Midiothian, Seotland, he came to Canads in the year 1958. Having an acquaintance fron: his native land at Glenwilliams, Halton County, he went direct to that village. Coming to Brampton after.â€"a short residence there, he has ever since been a worthy and respected citizen of the town, and untilâ€"theâ€"H« zgort Bros.â€"gave up â€"busi~ ness was an e~ployee of that company. His unobtrusis» and retiring manner deprived himof a common acqusint ance, but those whose privilege it was to know Robert Brown delighted in his company, for his literary attainments were bountifal. For sixty years he was united with the Presbyterian Charck at home and in Bratpton, being one of the oldest members of the congregation here. In politics he was a true Reâ€" former. Deceased is survived by a widow, two sona, Messrs. James S. Brown, B. A., and John Brown, Torâ€" onto, and Mre. kobt Y. Stewart, Watâ€" erloo, Mrs. Geo. Mair, Torosto, and Miss Nellie Brown (public school teacher) at home. The funeral took place to (Henwilliams on Tuesday, serâ€" vices being conductcd by the Rev. W5lie C. Clark.

Healthy lungs starve the miâ€" crobes out. â€" p Lawrevnce A. Wilson, President of the Montreal Iiqnor Dealers, says that "men have always made use of stimuâ€" lants, ai.J when Governments are so blind as to prohibit the natural beverâ€" ages of a country, they do not become more teimperate for all that, and they take to poisons that are one hundred times more harmful than the poorest wines or liquors. Let us advocate temperance by. persuasion and educaâ€" tion ; let us insist upon holders of licenses guaranteeing good conduct in their .places of business and a good quality of their goods, and we will then bethe first to applaud;but let them not try to punish a whole population that is at present remarkably sober, because a few reprobates have the bad habit of intoxicating themselves. It would be a revolation of all ideas of equity and a retograde movement that will not be well received by the libertyâ€" loving public.‘ Mr. Wilson says that if the Governments of Ontario and Manitoba put the question of prohibiâ€" tion before the electorate by means of a referendum, his "association will not oppose their plans, but will remain neutral. . If the majority of th3 electors inscribed on the clcctoral lists vote in favor of prohibition, we will _ submit ogrselves to the decision without a marmur, and we will not even ask for compensaâ€" tion ; but s5 long as probibition is claimed by a tnrgbnlon minority we will oppose it with all our strength."
