Lawrence Division, by a delegation of Keformers, for a seat in the Legislative Council against the late Hon. George Crawford. Many will recollect the fearful struggle that took place. Ten thousand votes were polled and Dr. Brouse was defeated by sixty-one votes. He then left political life and assumed nominally the duties of Post Master of Prescott, while his whole time was devoted to the practice of his profession, until 1872, when his friends prevailed upon him to resign his office and engage in a struggle to redeem South Grenville from Conservative rule. He was successful in defeating Walter Shanly, the former member, by eighty-two votes, and again secured a victory in 1874, over the same opponent by a majority of one hundred and eleven votes. Dr. Brouse is a very moderate Reformer, and refused to sustain his party in all their party votes. He first brought before the House of Commons for consideration the claims of the veterans of 1812, and through which action $50,000 have been yearly granted to those loyal men. Ata later period, Dr. Brouse submitted a resolution demanding that some recognition should be given the loyal men of 1837 and 1838, who defended our flag and drove the rebels from our soil. That a portion of the wild lands in the great Northwest should be granted them, in extent equal to that granted the immigrant settler, he announced his advocacy in the strongest terms. He has shown, in moving for a committee, with the greatest earnestness that military drill should be taught in our schools, advocating that a large saving can be made in our military expenditure, as well as greater efficiency in drill secured. He is in favor of establishing a Dominion Sanitary Bureau, as a storehouse from which the people may be educated on the great question of public health. He succeeded in two sessions in securing a committee, who reported favorably in both instances, as condusive to the best interests of the community. The great importance of health legislation, through Dr. Brouse’s efforts at Ottawa, has inspired legislation on this subject at the last session of the Ontario Legislature. In 1878, a vacancy occurred in the Senate, which was filled by the appointment of Mr. Brouse. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. SPENCERVILLE. S. C. McLean, M.
