THE Mort AND rrfr BEAM.
They have a uaiqua apectoen of a Peen
lancejuurualist in Stratford -en Ilsiaass�si
its in his way --a confirmed blowhard,
/but not • bad fellow withal. He name
is H. T. Butler -not Henry, or Harry,
or Hank, or Hal, but H. T. Butler. In
his last issue he tines fault with the pro-
prietors of Tun 3scor*L because they du
nut exclude their names from, the reports
of the publis meetutYs at which they,
with other residents, take part. For in-
stance, it is wrong for D. McGillicuddy's
name to appear as one of the members of
the Mechanics' Institute Board. T. Mc
(lillicuddy was appointed an auditor by
the teachers' association, and, foreooth,it
is almost criminal that his mite should
appear in the minutes, saith the Times
wiseacre. And so on.
Now, Brother H. T. Butler, what
wouldst thou have newspaper men do 1
Because they are public-spirited,and take
part in various gatherings, wouldst thou
have them act in a muck -modest manner
and ignore their own names and the
names of all who happen to he of the
editorial profession i Thou haat not
acted thus, thyself, in days gone by.
We well rec,llect,when H. T. Butter was
one of the "weight" at the Stratford
Council Board, that when his name oc-
curred as seconding a motion -tor the
"shining light" of the Tutu rarely
originated anything at the Council Burd
- -we never noticed any of said motions
read an follows: "M,.ved by Mr. Smith
seconded by Mr. , etc.," or
"Moved by Mr. Brawn. seconded by one
who will be nameless in these columns.
&c.," or "Moved by Mr. Robinacn,
seconded by a person whose name we
will not 'mention, &e." Not much ; H.
T. Butlers naive always came up by;
and bold -just like the man who owned
it. Why, once upon a time, some one 'bogus would have foundready ole. Dur -
saw a fancied resemblance in the phvsi•hams and Durham grades are still the
cal proportions of the TichOtortte Haim rage among stock sten, and Ayrshires,no
ant Tined H. T. Butler, sad for
months afterward the journal which 11
T. Butler oontrolled bristled with al-
lusions to H. T. Butler as the "Claim-
ant." We admit the resemblance be-
tween the two Claimants was very good
-'-for the original Claimant was obese, he
.proved to be bogus, and he wu looked
upon by the courts as a phenomenal
economizer of the truth. H. T. But-
ler saw the cap fitted him, and unblush-
ingly put it on. And this is the person
who objects to a newspaper mans name
appearing legitimately in an "item of
news. Bah ' It H. T. Butler is
ashamed of his tame, the editors of Tug
SIGNAL -are not ashamed of thein; and
when they prefer to adopt the title of
a notorious impostor, in preference to
their own lawful cognomen, to decorate
their paper in a bumptious manner, • it
will be time enough for H. T. Butler,
,,bias the "Claimant," to cavil
T(lh HURON SIGNAL, 1 liu1)AY OCT. 28, 1881.
Tunas is a racket in Whitby Tory.
Amos At a banquet in honor of the I
visit of the Ministeruj Public Works 95
nests guzzled 34 op rte of alcoholic
ilaimulaut, slid after t e guzzle sent the
bill to the town council fee liquidation.
The council refused to honor the ac-
count, ,un the ground that those who ate
at the :banquet and drank the 1.qui.l
should liquid -ate the bill. A rumpus
was the result, and the liquor capacity oft
the average Whitby Tory became public
property .
THE OLD AND THIS NEW. tion of itisteracy was discussed in fell,
and it was decided not to change'it.
Rer.11eett.as .r sloe atnaasesteal l'euctt. The speaker here related his own ex -
As latres.tnae lecture -rreseasatl.a parvenue of thirty-five years ago, and
s. Bei . De. ssUWsas. stated that itineracy was a help and
' mainstay to Methodical. It hindered
tan Tuesday eveuiiw a large and iutel- ( young preachers from being overworked
ligent audieoee tht.atcl the body of the at Om start, and he had himself reeuived
kindly benefits from it - u► fact, he
didn't know what he would have done
wirhout it, wheu he first eiteted the
ministry, and was forced to preach
twenty-six urinous in as man days.
(Laughter.) The work done by the
itinerants was a gond One, and Bend
j,jreath tit. Methodist Church, W hear
au, Dr. Williams deg r ,a lecture on
what he had seen and heard at the
Methodist Ecumenical Colman, held at
London, rug., during the pad stamen.
TAe chair was taken shortly Wiese 8
o'clock by Rev. Mr. McDonagh, 01 Clin-
ton, why, after prayer by Rev, Mr.
Hamilton of Londesborough, and music
by the choir, introduced the speaker of
the evening, in a moat happy manner.
Rev. Da. WILLIAMS, on citing
forward, was must heartily received.
Although he had known the chairu►am
fur many years, he did not recollect hav-
ing seen hint in the chair before, and he
therefore congratulated that gentleman
upon hia - preseut exalted position.
(Laughter.) His (the speaker s) business
to -night was to rider to what he had
seen at thea great
COF$CIL OF Ma'rBODlsT ? uetourJw
recently held in Bnglaad. He had been
intimately acquainted with Methodist
preachers for over 35 yeant, and had
learned aomethiug of thent that words
could not express. They were good
company, genial mem, but thoroughly
earnest in their work. Some there
were, who at one time phoo-phooed the
idea of a Methodist Ecumenical Council.
A Pan -Anglican or a Pan -Presbyterian
gathering could be comprehended as
likely to exist, but a Pan -Methodist
Council, not so. Ob, no. (Laughter.)
But earnest men thought the matter out,
and brought it forth to fruition, the re-
sult being the bringing together of 400
leaders of 26 Methodist bodies, gathered
from the North and South, the East and
West -frons the ends of the earth. Af-
ghanistan, Africs, India, Japan, Amer-
ica, and many other countries, sent their
representatives ,to stand side by side
with their co-workers in Britain. There
never was such a meeting before, for in-
tellect from every part of the world
was there, irrespective of language or
color. Seven languages were spoken at
the Council. and there were 28 colored
representatives present, of whom 18
were D. Da, and • number LL Ds.,
and this fact showed that the; color-
ed people had not only the possibility, but
possessed the capability of attaining s
high state of intellectual culture. (Hear,
hear.) The beet speech delivered was -
by a colored brother, and it was deserv-
ing of the just Braise it received.
CITY ROAD CHURCH
was where the gathering was held. and
stood next to the parsonage, -hard by
the house where Wesley had lived and
died. Many availed themselves of the
opportunity to examine the old house,
to see the furniture, and the teapot from
which the "Father of Methodism" had
helped visiting brethren in days gone
by, (laughter) but he (the speaker) was
not a relic -hunter, and did not examine
the tea-pot. If some of the ladies of
this congregation had been present, they
wouldn't have missed the opportunity of
seeing the tea-pot. (Renewed laughter.)
Behind is the graveyard where Wesley,
Adam Clark, Richard Watson, Lomas,
and others dear to Methodist remem-
brance, sleep the sleep of the just. A
little behind is the foundry which Wes-
ley hired for morning preaching, and
where the Methodists of the early times
had devotion each day at 5 a,m-which
certainly showed how zealous our pre-
deCessors were. But
THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL
was the sight that caught his attention
most. When he walked into the gather-
ing the first morning, an apple raised in
his throat, and his feelings were moat
powerfully worked upon. Over in yon-
der corner is Bishop Payne, as black as
the "ace of spades," as the saying is,
and yet an intellectual giant; another
figure is that of George Osborne, who
knows more about Wesley and Method-
ism than any other man living; then
there is a dapper little Irishman -
William Arthur -a truly wonderfp1
man, with • world-wide reputation; there
is an "immense" man, Bishop Peck, an
Amnorican, who w,eilkhs 300 lbs., and has
eight brothers in the ministry -all men
of "weight" and influence; next is Bishop
Simpson, a thin -spare, stooped man,
the brilliant orator who held the Coun-
cil spell -bound with his silvery voice and
beautiful thoughts, foran hour and s half
at the opening; then there is another
nice, dapper little fellow, with a kind
word for everyone, and he is Charles
Garrett, whose work has been the racial ma -
tion of the poor in Liverpool and other
large cities. Garrett is the greatest
organizer in the Methodist ranks to -day,
and his influence is a power among the
masses. Happy, indeed, must be the
man who devotes his energies and intel-
lect to the lifting of unfortunates out of
the mud and the inire of sin and iniqui-
ty, and placing thein on their feet again,
"freemen whom the truth makes free."
(Applause )
THs foolish action of Collector Paton
in seizing the works of Paine and Vol-
taire at the Cesium's House at Toronto,
and confiscating them as immoral and
obscene books, has caused an enterpris-
ing Toronto publishing house to procure
plata of the condemned works, and a
cheap edition is likely to be issued short-
ly. Collector Patton didn't see to the
end of the thing, or he wouldn't have
made such a laughing -stuck of himself
and his good intentions. It is sufficient
to say that in the controversy on the
matter he has Dome out at the heel -
end.
The Live cork rete.
The live stock sale held at Clinton on
Wednesday last was as successful as any
that has yet been held. The weatherwas
favorable, and there was a large crowd
of people present. Bidding was not so
spirited as it ,night have been, consider-
ing the crowd present and the previous
enquiries for stock of various kinds, but
still a good number of animals changed
panda Several of the animals offered,
although of unexceptional pedigree, were
low in flesh. This was due, no doubt,
to the scarcity of pasture during the late
summer and early fall. These did not
take well, and demonstrates more clear-
ly that flesh is as necessary for sale as
for show. Young tattle, both bulls and
heifers, odd readily, but the aged ani-
mals did nut go off so rapidly. The scar-
city and dearness of feed„had, no doubt,
a strong influence in this direction. Bull
calves were particularly in demand, and
double the number of those on the cata-

Tits Home Minion Board of the Pres-
byterian Church of Canada, at a recent
meeting held in Toronto, did a most un-
jtuti6atile act in the cutting off of the
stem of $100, which had in former years
been allowed towanls supporting the
Gaelic mission at Goderich. The Assem-
bly is not to blaniv for this act, but the
Home Mission Board is deserving of can.
surd. The Goderich mission consists of
some seventy families, moat o1 whom are
in poor circumstances, and unable to
assist to -any extent in aiding in the sup-
port of the mission, In the vicinity of
$900 is annually forwarded from Huron
I►istrict for the support of Home Mis-
sions, and it is rather hand that the petty
sum of $100 cannot be returned towards
aiding a deserving, though struggling,
Christian work. Every now and • then
we read of the iiomy Mission sending
inisaiouaries to new to do work,
and they pay largely toward their sup-
port, in comparison with the number of
families given religious ministrations,
while at home struggling minions are
greatly overlooked. It has been said
that "Chanty begins at home,” but the
Heine Mission Board are evidently of a
different opinion. if their action in
reference to the Gaelic church as persist-
ed in. the people of G,Nderich and vicini-
ty will not deal generously with the
Home Mignon Fund in the time to come,
but will be content to give their does -
tions to the desery one mission which.they

Tres railway coast eon is still the topic
of the hour. et. Marys and Exeter on

Blyth and Brussels en yet another, are
all looking to Goderich. We do not
know whether omni town will get all the

and that is. that puha opine n is in

matter how good, will scarcely be looked
at. Leicester. and Cotswold sheep also
sold well, and brought fair prices. There
was a great deal of enquiry for South-
down sheep, but there were none for sale,
and there seems to be very few in the
market any where. There were not many
pigs offered, but some of them sold very
well, a yearling Berkshire pig from the
herd of Messrs. Snell & Sons bringing
$30. This animal was purchased' by Mr.
W. Walker, of Lucknow. The following
is a list of the principal sales made and
the figures at which other animals were

bell, H ullett, purchased by Mr. R. Scott,

Clinton, for $35. Cotswold rams sold
at frown $9 to $30; and ewes of the same
breed avenged about $18 per pier. Lei.
enter rams brought from $15 to $25.
In addition to those enumerated above
quite a number of animals changed
hands privately, after lowing the sale
ring, and we believe most ..f these that
were bid in were disposed of in the same
way. Of these males no record could he
gnt. On the whole, the Directors of the
Association have no reason to feel dis-
couraged, and we think we may saf.ly
say that the annual sale may now be oon-
n dered a permanent institution. it is
safe to say that a larger number Of ani-

lastedfoerteendays, aodthe delegatesdid
not talk for nothing. There was no
self -praise, but all took an interest in
discussing how Methodism had affected
society. True, they talked about
Methodism and Wesley, for Wesley oc-
cupied • similar place with the Method -
bite of to -day, that John Knox did with
the Presbyterians a century ago. A
century after to -day Wesley would not
he talked of at a great Council to so
great an extent as now, although his
name would be always deer to Method-
ists. (Hear, hear.) The Methodists of
the olden time had not much to do with
the nobility, and were never patronised
by royalty, bit at the Council it was
clearly shown how Methodism had affect-
ed @mxisty for the. better. Although un-
aided iy wealth or coronets, it had
grown and prspered,untiltt-dry it stood
a potent factor in the religious world.
Even now, very few Methodists rode in
rnrrfsgee. The reasons was that the first
generation was poor, the second worked
itself into • go ed position financially,
and the third, growing rieher still, left
the old church and joined a more fash-
ionable one. (Laughter.) But Method -

A Ct•1PENT.---%Ir. Jacob Crozier [net
withr a very serious, and what may prove
fatal accident, on Tuesday of last week.
Thu full perticuhars of the case your cor-
reepN,ndeut was unable to obtain. Suf-
tice it to say that, up to present writing
all that can be procured relating to the
event is that while the above men-
tioned gentleman was returning home
from the village on the aforesaid day, his
horses took fright at the whistle of a
thrashing machine, and he is supposed
to have been thrown front the waggon.
When picked up he was in an uncon-
scious condition, and upon examination
his chest was found to be utterly crushed
he had heard of, which was so used to
knitting that when, after the old lady's
death, the children put it in the un-
finished stockiug, it began to move, as
of yore. (Great l.sughter, and "Oh, oh,
oh!" from Rev. Mr. Hamilton, of Londes-
borough.") The speaker wouldn't vouch
for the needle story, and wasn't sure
that he had not got it trout Mr. Hamil-
ton, (renewed laughter,) but the progress
of the work of the Methodist itinerants
of old was an undoubted fact. +Hear,
hear.) The class -meeting was another
question discussed at the Council, and
not one member of that body had said,
"Don't make the elssaineetiug a test of
anent berahip. " (Hear, hear.) Jt
strengthened the young and the old, and
gave confidence to the preachers and ex-
horters.
THE INFLUENCE OF WOMAN
was also a topic of discussion, and when
one or two of the old,rigid members tried
to ignore woman's usefulness in the
Gospel work, as if to rebuke them, the
eyes of those present involuntarily sought
the gallery, where sat a tall, slight ne-
gress, whose work as a revivalist has
been one of the wonders of the age -
Amanda Smith. (Applause,) and when
the hymn, "All hail the power of Jesu's
Name," to the air of "Coronation," was
sung, Amanda's voice could be heard
over all the rest of those congregated.
The speaker at this poiat referred to the
impression formed on his mind, while
listening to the preaching of that gifted
revivalist, Mrs. Phoebe Palmer, and
hoped that the influence of woman in,
spreading the good tidings would never
cease. The dangers to the Methodist
church, from within and without, was
also discussed in a manner most satis-
factory; and so was the ule of the press;
the hymnology of the church; the imsaion
work; the relation of Methodism to
temperance; &c., &c. But the question
would be asked,
"WHAT CAME OUT O? THE WHOLE 2"
And the answer was, "A great deal of
e.toouragement in the work." The
speaker had never been at any meeting
from which he had, personally, derived
such benefit. The Council was composed
of different forms of Methodism -some
Episcopal, others Presbyterian, others
Congregational, and so on, in their var-
ious systems -but although neatly all
differed on minor matters, yet certain
great factors prevailed in common: The
new birth through the blood of Christ
Jesus; the'teachings of Christ the.
Saviour of men, as a means of salvation;
and the uniform result of the truths of
the Gospel of Christ, wherever preached,
and by whom, and under whatever sys-
tem. From a little beginning Methodism
had become great; without the aid of
wealth or title, without the aid of the
secular press, and with no colleges in its
earlier days, it grew and prospered -it
had increased and multiplied. (Loud
applause.) Methodism had, by the
grace of God, been given a name in
every country of the earth, and stood
side by side with the greatest religious
influences of the day. In conclusion, he
asked his hearers to feel a greater re-
sponsibility than ever resting upon them
-let bickerings,jealousyandstrifesceaae,
and let all rejoice in the growth and pro.
greu of their beloved cause. For him-
self, be returned home a greater Metho-
dist than ever, loving other denomina-
tions none the less, that he had been
brought to love his own more, and will-
ing to labor more earnestly than ever and decendad like a hail storm upon the
before to be of benefit to Lit fellow -men, devoted head of the millets cherub, who
and to advance the cause of Christ's was milking the cies
kingdom on earth, until the time came
when he would be called Horne. (Pro-
longed applause.) a Oo1borm.
At the conclusion a vote of thanks to
the speaker was moved by Rev. Mr.
Harris, of Brussels, seconded by Rev.
Mr. Edwards, of Holmesville.
Rev. Dr. Williams briefly replied, and
thanked the meeting for the vote.

gannon, and Messrs. Geo. Acheson and
R. W. McKenzie, of Goderich, canoe for-

THANKaolclwo.—Thanksgiving Day
here was mostly given up to thanksgiv-
ing services, and to pleasure seeking.
Sermons were preached in the churches
to large and attentive audiences.
Pleasure seekers had recourse to shoot-
ing, which was the staple amusement of
the day. Thanksgiving day here was
'not all that it should havebeen,and not
what it has been in former years, which
marked the cling up of all business wit; places in the village. This year wit;a
melancholy contrast. The principal
placers of business were almost univer-
sally open. Perhaps the reason is to be
partly found in the fact, that some of our
merchants -are fond et indulging in a lit-

"MYxnalovs."—One of our promin-
ant young bachelors a few days ago "my-
steriously and "suspiciously ' disappear-
ed, which left not a shadow of a doubt
on the minds of our "knowing ones, "hut
that our village was to have immediately
au addition to its population. But the
anticipations which ran high collapsed,
when aafore-men-
tioned
days after the young bachelor returned minus -
yes here's the "rub" -minus a spouse..
Then the "knowing ones" shook their
heads and muttered, "Very strange;
very."
SPORTSMEN, HAVE A CARE! -A couple
of our modern Ntmrods, while returning
home from an expedition the other day,
thought by pouring forth their shot in
the air, they could at the same time
pour forth their disappointment. (Their
game bags were empty.) The remedy
was not altogether void of result, for if
they did not shoot away their ill humor,
they at least exciteda similar feeling in
the breast of another, for their shot car-
ried over into a neighboring barn yard
the chairman o oped
that the present front the district to the
rev. gentleman, would help to defray his
expenses to the Ecumenical Council,
from which all had received so much
benefit this evening.
Rev. Dr. Williams, in replying to the
presentation mid he was a poor hand to
make an acknowledgment. He had
lived for the church, had commenced at
the foot, and the Lord had helped hits.
He was humbled under this mark of
their appreciation. He had done his
duty to the church and the people, had
endeavored to serve the Lord faithfully,
and would continue to do so until the
end. (Applause. )
After remarks from Rev. Mr. Mc-
Donagh and Mr. Geo. Acheson, the
meeting was chased with prayer.
The choir gave a number of eboice
pieces during the evening.
