liver a lecture in Viotoru Hall on Tues-
day next, entitled "What a blind man
saw in England." The press of Toronto
and other 0.staiian cities give Dr. Mill-
burn a very high place us a lecturer, and
he draws large houses everywhere. Dr.
Millburn's home is in Cincinnati, but his
many friends in Canada like to hear hire
often. His first appearance in Goderich
will, we trust, be greeted by a largo
audience.
FDtaa*ltliN Rkrvageo. --Tho fisher-
men of this town, who have been up on
the North Shore of Lake Superior, re-
turned home on Friday lad. The fish-
ing was fair. They complain that the
captain of the Mesmer Quebec agreed to
bring them home but did not do .o, and
they were thus left 100 miles from the
Oanal, with scant provisions, and sur-
rounded by an uninhabited wilderness.
The steamer Ontario, at the risk of not
Call through the ()anal, went out of
ermine to see if they had been re-
lieved from their situation and found
them in a had state. The gratitude of
lis 6Aessasa to Captain Robert.on for
his Basely .a11 will be of a lasting nature.

Mr. A. H. Drumm, a Huron printer,

Horses from this county command
good prices from American buyers. Last

The Lucknow village constable must
be a person of some note in that clachan.
At the last meeting of the Village Coun-

of the Reeve to have hint dismissed, he
was tendered "a fool's pitrdon." A nice

THE New HYMNAL-Effortsare now
being made to introduce the new author-

this town. The matter is now in the
hands of the Session, and in all probab-
ility the use of the new hymnal will soon
be a feature of the services in the (lode -
rich Presbyterian Church.
THa COMING Mt;Nt1 rtL ELECTION$. -
Since the electors in this part of the.
country have exercised their ranchise at
an election an important chane has been
made in regard te the uttede of marking

Municipal Act of IWO says; "A voter
may mark his ballot paper by placing a
cross either (ss hereto fore) on the right
hand side opposite the name of the
candideto for whom he desires to vote,
or M any other place within the division
which contains the name of the candi- "
date ; and section one hundred and forty-
one of the Municipal Act is hereby
amended in accordance with this section.
Of which all those interested should talcct
notice awl accordingly,
AN AcTioN FOR DAMAGES. -We un-
derstand that Mr. Joseph Williamson,
better known as "Old Joe, the Huron
Bard,' has entered an action against tno
townships of Tuckersmith and Hullett
for damages. It seems that a sidewalk
has been erected from the bounds of the
Clinton corporation to Stapleton, along
the Huron Road. On this walk there is
a flight of stairs on the Stapleton hill.
Joe claims that he wail going along this
walk one very dark night this fall and
that he fell down these steps and broke
some of his ribs, hence the action. The
amount claimed, we believe, 1. $100.
Whether or not Joe's ribs are worth the
money is a question which, we presume,
will have to be settled hereafter. -[Ex -

How To WRITE FOR THE PAPERS.-.
Tine Boston Post hits the nail on the
head when it says: Communications
should be brief, and there are several
reasons for this. In the first place
wewapaper space is • valuable. The
modern newspaper is never troubled with
the old complaint of needing "something
to fill up." The editor's scalpel is con-
stantly reeking from the slaughter of
live news matter and interesting mis-
cellany. Short communications are
much more likely to find readers than
long ones are, and unless they are to be
read it is much better not to publish
them. More oontributors can be rere
rented where the articles are short than
when they are long, and one man hal§ as
strong a claim upon rhe columns as
another, provided he furnishes as inter-
esting matter. A short article is usually
more pithy and pointed than a long one.
A subject should have many ramifications
to demand more than half a column in a
newspaper, while all that can be sieved
even from that limit up to a certain
point is apt to be an improvement. that
prinoe of journalists, the late Samuel
Bowles, ance apologized for a long edi-
torial, and gave as his evcuse lack of
time to wrile a short one. He express-
ed
xpresed an important truth in his usual epi-
grammatic way. --[Ex.
"THE R*AeoN of FAITH." -Dr. Ur.
ave a very interesting lecture on the
"Reason of Faith" to a fair audience in
North St. Methodist Church on Thurs-
day of last week. He testified to the
supreme importanoe of the agency that
removed moral blindness and opened the
Theye to a knowledge of spiritual things.
e great question of the hour was.
"How are we to know that God speaks
to us through the Scripture.?" Roman
Oatholieum gave one cause for belief,
and the Evngeliaal Church gaveanother.
The Church of Rome contended that it
was invested not only with the power of
interpeting what the Scriptnrs said, but
also of affirming what were end were not
the autheytic portions of the snored
Word. Wy gave them this authority?
We are referred to the Bible itself for
proof, although they toll us that to be an
authority it must have the sanction of
the Ohutah They first prove the au
thentioity of the Divine Word by the au-
thority of the Church, and then seek M
prove the authority of the Divine Woe&
Ththe authority of the Church,
e universal consent of the Church et
Ued (God's faithful people) to the truth
of Scripture has its use, hurt this consent.
