MR. HENRY TEWSLEY handed us
on Monday a bunch of raspberry
twigs grown in his garden, which
was profusly laden with fully de-
veloped berries, being the second
growth on the same bushes this
year. This speaks • well for our
"arctic" climate or the generous
warmth• of the soil in Mr. Tow-

IN reference to an interesting

to relatives at Hespoler a couple, of
years ago. Mr. Gillespie is a Canadian
by birth and a journalist by,profess-
ion, but of late years ltas been large-
ly engaged in the lumbering busi-
ness. Speaking of commercial union
Mr. Gillespie informed the writer
that lie had heard the matter discuss-

mercial intercourse between the two

the Americans were not concerning
themselves much about the platter.

FIRE.—About half past one Mon
day morning the frame buildings
owned by Mr. Stanbury alongside
the railway track,to the east ofthe G.
1'. 1L passenger depot, and which
were formerly used as warehouses,
were destroyed by fire. Several of
the G. '1'. R. passer ....wiles "(1'0
scorched, a quantity et ;umber en a
flat ear was burned, tics were
burned, switch destroyed and steel
rails rendered unfit for use. The
steamer was on hand and did good
work, but it is thought that if thorn
had been only a lnodcratUT ..high'
wind from the right quarter the
station 1101150, l'ike's hotel, and
other property could not have been
saved. The glare of the lite was
seen at several miles distance. The
Ions to the G. 1'. R. will not exceed
$500. Tho buildings cost about
$3,000, but were only assessed for
$900. As they were unoccupied,
the fire must have •boeu of incen-
diary origin, or caused by the care-
lessness of 'some unauthorized oc-
cupant.

CHURCH RE-OYENINO.—The re-
opening'exercises of the Ontario St.
Methodist Church took place last
Sunday. Throughout the day the
services were marked with power,
and fewer on the part of the
speaker, and undivided interest on
the part of the hearers. The Rev.
E. Roberts, of Meaford, Toronto
Conference, preached two powerful
sermons, morning and afternoon. In
the morning he took for his subject,
"Brayer," basing his remarks on Acts
xis. 5, taking up the eircumstauces
bringing about the prayer, the
manner of the prayer, and the result
of prayer. In the afternoon he took
for his subject, "Faith," using as a
basis Matt. xiv. 31, showing that
true faith depends upon three
things : knowledge of the truth, as-
sent of our mind tothe truth, and a
dependance upon the truth. He
also stated it was both a gift of God
and an act of our will. He made
plain his positions by many apt
illustrations. _' The Rev. J. E.
Howell, M. A., the popular chair-
man -of the Godet•ich District,
preached in the evening, taking for
subjeot, "Tho Brotherhood of Man,"
basing. his remarks qu, Gon. iv. 9.
"Am I my brother's keeper 1" which
he answered iu the , affirmative.,
Tho sermon. showed much research
and thought. It was a powerful ex-
hortation to all to live pure lives.
The speaker brought ,before the
hearers by illustration and other-
wise the influence even of a single
act and that the most unassuming
life was not without even great in-
lluence, and that the nature of man
and society which the goes to make
up was of such • a character that
neutral dependence and consequent
mutual interests forced each to have
'an interest in the other—to be his
brother's keeper. He illustrated
the responsibility of man to his
fellow man by stating that force
was never lost. The motion im
parted to a body of water; by a
stone being cast into it, was never
lost but reached the utmost confines,
be the stretch of water never so ex-
tensive. Even the motion imparted
to the air by the displacement of it
through the force of the human
voice was never lost but rolled on
through space. So the spoken and
written utterances of man were
never lost. They had an effect more
or less on his follows. ° Men nowa-
days were to a great; extent influen-
ced by what their forefathers had
spoken or written. The greater the
opportunities and abilities of the in-
dividual, the greater his respousiir
'bility, and he would be hold ac-
countable as his brother's keeper to
the extent of his influence upon his
fellow men. The day closed with a
prayer meeting conducted by the
Rev. J. E. Howell. The 0011gl•ega-
- tions during t'lle day werc-gtsod: To -
say there was acrowd at night is
too weak a term, there was a perfect
jam. The collectio'ils. were on the
whole good. The singing by the
'choir—well; it was as is.nsual with
;them,. good.
CHURCH DINNER.—T110 dinner
'in connection with the re -opening
of the Ontario St. Methodist church
was set for 5:30 on N on'tlay. From
that time until about 8 o'clock the
basement of the church .was a per-
fect hive of industrious), Humanity,
'each iudividualnlem.ber paying per-
sistent compliments to the onorinous
spread of substantial and dainty
delicacies with which the numerous
tables were laden. There was iu-
deed enough and to spare notwith-
standing that ovcx•' 600 persons
were partakers of a bounteous
repast. And while the ladies de-
serve all praise for the. material
food provided, they aro also to. be
congratulated upon the charming
neatness and temptingly artistic
manner in which it was served.
The surroundings were as pleasing
to the eye as the eatables were to the
palate. Aud the courtesy shown by
the ladies and gentlemen who vol-
uuteore(1 to perform the arduous
task of seeing that the guests were
all attended to, was above all
praise. Shortly after 8 o'clock the
church proper was filled with an
interested audience desirous of par-
takiug of the intellectual, religious
and musical treat provided. There
were on the platform, the chairman
of the district, Rev. Mr. Howell,
Seaforth, and Rovds. Fisher,

admirably rendered. Tho trustees
desire much praise for their energy
in this important work. The im-
