Lodge, No.'62, L 0. 0. F., celebrated
it by attending the North atrret Me-
thodist chnrch on Sunday morning.

AMONG THE CHURCHES.
The meeting in the lecture room of
the North street Methodist church last
Monday evening, under the auspices
of the Lord's Day Alliance, was not
as well attended as it should have
been, but those present heard an ex-
cellent address from Rev. J. C. Reid,
of Nile, which was much appreciated.
A summary of Mr. Reid's address is
unavoidably held over until next week.
Mr. J. H. Ward, Wiest street, had
another incubator hatch of chicks last
week, the result being 84 birds from
90 eggs. He now has about 850 chick-
ens'and some of them will be ready
for the market in a week or two.
Mr. J.H. Medd, V.S., of Dungannon,
on Tuesday delivered a team of heavy
draughts, six yeara old, to buyer Jae,
AlcOluske§, for a handsome figure.
One was by Eastfield Chunk, and the

John Sterling, who lives on the Lon-
don road, near Clinton. lost his house
and contents from fire on Wednesday
evening 'of last week. The family
were vielting a neighbor, and cannot
account for the cause. The loss will
be considerable.
It having been stated that the Royal
Insurance (lo. had slx and one-half
millions loss in the an Francisco di a-
358101', the °employ send out notice to
their agents that their loss will be but
$3,500,000, and this will be all met out
of the general fund.
The foundation for the new Baptist
church, to he elected opposite the Pub-
lic Library, tent be ready for the joists
next week, the contractorteReld & Co.
being well Ahead with the work. The
church will he of brick and will occu-
py the lot corner of Montreal and Mar-
ket streets, at ono time belonging to
the Vivian estate. The building will
he 50 feet by 60 feet, with a basement;
the front will be of Aitken pressed
brick, the balance of Benruiller make,
and the church will have a pretty ap-
pearance. It is proposed to lay the
foundation stone on Victoria Day, for
which service due preparations are
being made.
SYNOD OP HAMILTON AND LONDON.
This body met at Brantford this
week, on Tuesday and Wednesday,
about 300 ministers being present.
Arnongut the matters of general inter-
est acted upon was Sunday school
work. The report of the committee
nhowed a. marked decrease in the num-
ber of pupils attending the echools in
the Synod. The enrolirnent was 4,000
testi than seven years ago. The report
cited no eause, but strongly condemn-
ed the prevalent practie.e of using in-
discriminate lesson helps in Sabbath
schools, it being contended that in
many instances these were detritnens
tal in that they were improperly pre-
pared. and had a tendency to wpm. -
snide the use of the Bible.
An able tiddrees was delieered by
Rev. J. 0. Robinson, Toronto, General
Beeretkry of Babbath echool work,
who deltit with the decline of attend-
ance. urged prompt effort to inerease
the enrollment, and outlined methods
th moire higher efficiency,
Alfred Dodds, of Colborne, who is
considerable of a, bee -cultivator, re-
ports the past winter as having been St, Catharines,on Seturday afternoon,

matters, and out of 55 hives put away
last fall he finds 51 in good condition Proginceen the person of Mr.E.Holmee,
end ready for tho season's work.
James McVicar has the cement
foundation tor the new cottage on
Trafalgar street completed. The build-
ing will be brick veneer, and the
frame work will be proceeded with as
rapidly as possible, and the owner,
Mrs. O'Neil expects to occupy it this
fall.
Thomas Crawford's bill to reorganize
the York Loan and Savings Company
Is likely to he left over until the next
session of the Legislature. It is said
that the Government is not favorable
to the hill. Its object is ' the election
of a body from the shareholders of
the company to look after its affairs.
A Chicogo dispatch of Thursday last
said: "Tho board of appeals of the
American Trotting Association today
expelled J. F. flennesay, of Saginaw,
Mich.. and Thomas and W. 11, Mc-
Lean, of Luoknow, Ont., and the mare
Marjorie Wilkes, it being charged
that the horse had been campaigning
under the name of Sweet Reale."
The Toronto Star the other day
published a report, that Chief Justice
Meredith had resigned to accept the
position of chairman of the now Rail-
way Commission, and that W. Proud -
foot, K. 0., of Goderich, wee slated to
succeed him. The report, according
to subsequent statements, appears to
be premature, if not wholly incorrect.
The Crimean cannon still rests on
the gt•asa on Victoria Park. It would
be a great improvement to the park
anda credit to the town if the gun
was mounted on a gun carriage of
some kind. And what about the
other cannons -that on West street,
near the rink, and the other two on
Harbor bank -can they not all he
properly mounted and placed?
The tree so long at the corner of the
Square and Colborne street was cut
dowo on Tuesday, to the regret of
many who have watched that maple
develop. Its cutting down, however,
was it necessity from a lameness point
of view, as its large size darkened the
interior of the Bank of Commerce.and
almost shrouded that part of the
building situated on Colborne.
Mr. T. W. Wilmott, who ha n been
organist and choir leader of Knox
church fpr some months, has resigned
that position and accepted it similar
one in St. Paul's Episcopal church,
Dunnville. Last Sunday he presided
at his new post and met with a very
kindly reception, his playing giving
every satisfaction. The Dunnville peo-
ple are placing a new organ in their
church, and Air. Wilmet will take
charge of its that:illation. THE STAR
joins his friends in the wish that Mr.
Wilmott will find his new field tho-
roughly satisfactory.
Otturotorrn. - Mr. Deluge Drum -
=child, at one titne the well koown and
popular manager of the Bank of Mom
(real here, but latterly manager of the
branch office at Pluton. Ont., died on
Sunday evening at the reaidence of
his brotherdn-law, Ikfr, Ocorge Burn,
manager of the Bank of Ottawa, at
Ottawa. Mr. Drummend had been Ill
for over obi months, and three months
ago retired from the banking Matinees
on account of his ill -health. The body

Co.ers.-On Wednesday afternoon,
SAVA Jane Sallow% beloved wife of
Isaac Coats, passed to hoe rest, aged
45 yeare and 8 naonths. The deceased
lady had been ill for nearly it year,
but had only been seriously so for
about a week. Her death (mused a
wave of sympathy to spread through
town and township for the bereaved
husband and two daughters, and her
many other relatives. The funeral
took place on Friday afternoon, from
the family residence, Trafalgar street,
the interment taking place in Col-
borne cemetery. Church service at

tions;
1. The available ten month power

and the available power head ter de-

MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT.
In another column tve print is letter
from Mr. J. E. Tom, I. P. S., on this
subject, which is worthy tho thought-
ful and practical consideration of
every citizen of Hoderich. It has of-
ten been Bold that if Nature had done
leen to make thla town attractive, its
citizens would totem done more 118
their part. We are too apt to rest
natisfled with the many natural ad-
vantages our town 11011, and take little
interest in auppletnenting these with
civic efforts, such as those Mr. Torn
refine to, It Is true there has of re-
cent years been a marked improve-
ment, in the beautifying of private
residences, but any work done by our
municipal authorities has been of the
usual haphazard • and unsystematic
eharaeter.
In some cities this work is being
