Here are two different ways SOWS
farmers have of doing business, and
both are true incidenta :—A farmer's
wife entered a store and wanted to
I get a certain article, the price of
which was $1; after considerable
bantering,she left without purchasin,
and her husband came in for the
same article; he wanted it -for 90
cents, times were hard, he said, and
90 cents cash was better than even
$1,50.41 chars:eel. The merchant told
hina that $1 was a cut price, 15 per
cent. below its real value, and he
would not sell it any lower. After
wasting considerable time the man
left without purchasing the article.
That is one incident. Here is' the
othe. :—A well to.do farmer's wife,
whose credit is good any where,entered
a store (not the sane one) and bought
a large bill of goods. When she had
done she asked the merchant if he
was willing to charge them to her.
"Why, certainly," cheerfully replied
the ettendant; 'why do you ask such
a question?" "Simply because 1
thought you might possibly object,"
she said ; "the way some of the tann-
ers bave been swindling the merchants
this fall has been positively stiocking,
and I honestly thought you would be
justified in refusing to credit me."
The merchant thanked her for her
thoughfulness, and intimated that he
had no objection to credit her for
whatever she wanted. Reader, was
there no difference in the principle
manifested in these incidents,

ing it exposed over night. Next

ful anxiety when one of his boys,aged

boy did not come home. Search did
not reveal his whereabouts until next
morning, when he was found at the
residence of Mr Ben Churchill, a
mile from town. The child bad fol-
lowed a sleigh out of town, and was
taken in by Mr Churchill and kindly
cared for during the night.

bad ocular demonstration of the fact
that fire can be caused by steam. At
a coupling joint in a steam pipe lead-
ing from the boiler to the steam Chest,
(and removed entirely front the heat
of the furnace), the steam began to
leak, and a rag was wound around
the joint to stop it. In the course of
time this rag took fire from the heat
of the pipe, and was removed "a
charred and ruined mass."

AN OLD OUNBOAT.—A short time
ago there was burned at Windsor a
tug called the "Prince Albert" that
bad a somewhat remarkable history.
She was built to carry passengers
across the Detroit River, but in 1882
she became a gunboat and was need
during the American war. Subse-
quently she was purchased by the
Canadian Glovernment, and for a long
time was anchored at Goderich. Dur-
ing the first, ',Med River rebellion"
she took a number of volunteers up
as far as Sault Ste. Marie, Canada,
and was, stationed there for several
months, part of her armed crew being
several Clintonians. She was also
used to transport the 33rd Battalion
to Windsor, on one occasion, and the
writer will never forget trying to ge
a few minutes sleep on three odd -sized
trunks which were on deck. After
her uselulness as h gunboat was gone,
she was sold out ot the service and
became a wrecking tug. In 187Y a
Canadian vessel went ashore in Ame-
rican waters, and the State Depart-
ment in , Washington was asked
whether the "Prince Albert" might
be seist to tow her oft The answer
was that all vessels going ashore in
American waters fell into the hands
of the American Cuatoms, and that,
therefore, only American Vessels
could be used in wrecking for them.
The Canadian Got enament at once
retaliated by ordering that only Ca-
nadian tugs could engage in wrecking
in Canadian waters. and thus the
system of retaliation in wrecking, the
moat stupid of the 'restrictive protec-
tive laws that encumber the relations
between Canada and the United
gtates, came Into being /

A Naw KIND OF ROOF.—We no-
ticed when Mr W.Cooper was erecting
bis new building this fall that he put
on a new kind of roof calculated to
prevent ice accumulating on the roof
and thus forming icicles, by diverting
the water down through the building
into the cellar. Mr Searle altered
the rod of one of his buildings in the
same way, and it is likely that this
method of 'preventing the accumula
tion of icicles and consequent danger
to pedestrians, will be -used in the
erection of all future buildings.

at private houses. So far the interest
of the meetings has been good,andthey
are resulting in higher spiritual life.

to a former townsman, and son.in-law
of Mr John Steep: "Rev.Mr Turnbull,
of St. Marys, preached. in the Presby-
terian church in this town on Sabbath
last. Mr Turnbull is an easy, fluent
speaker, and an able preacher, and his

is an old Usborne boy, and is a credit to
his native tewnship.

EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS. -111C ()Mar:
in Street church was filled to its ut-
most capacity on Friday cvening last,
the occasion being the tast meeting
under direction or Rey. ilii Crossley.
After an interesting service a large
number of persons, son -Jelin advanced
years, but the great majoOty cf young.
er year, gave iri there names for church
membership, all converts Making their
own choice. On Sunda evening the
series were continued in oth churches,
by the pastors thereof, nd are being
continued this week wit fair results.
To night (Friday) they ill be held in
Rattenbury ,Street chi •cli, and the
probabilities are that thi will close the
actual revival Services.
In his Sunday mor ing discOurse,
Rev. J. Livinghtone inci entally alluded
to the advantage of recting a new
church, as the present bi ilding has long
been unsuitable for its re uirements, in
various ways. The Rug estion appears
to have taken root, but it is not likely
that anything will be done in the mat-
ter for some time. We are of the opin
ion that the Mealodists of this town
made a seriofis niTstake vihen they did
not unite at the time of the anion and
erect one good church. And we believe
it would be better, recent expenditures
on chore') property notwithstanding, te
unite, and thus work together for a
common end. No matter how harnord;
