The sermon to young women by Rev.

Mr. S. A. Marling, M. A. Itespoctor

died very suddenly on Monday night.
He attended the Charles Street Presby-

"that said Baer died from the effects of
strangulated hernia, and not other-
wise."
THs LIFE AND nese or KING Wit -
WAN III. -Rev. Dr. Williams' lecture
on Monday evening last was fairly at-
tended. Mr. J. C. Defier was voted to
the chair, and after prayer, and * selec-
tion by the choir, the lecturer wan duly
introduced. The lecture was a finely
conceivedand well carried not effort, and
dealt with the growth of Protestantism
in the seventeenth century. The history
of France, England and the Netherlands
was presented to the audience in a goo
phic and forceful manner, and religious
deductions drawn therefrntn. The lec-
turer recounted the varying fortunes of
King William from his birth to his
death,' and considered him a choun in-
strument of God, whether it was when
elft -defeated he resolved to "die in the
last ditch" in Holland, when beat by
countless enemies of his faith, nr when
fortune smiled upon him more favorably,
and he was the means of rescuing Eng-
land flown the despntiam of .Tames 11
At the non-lusien of the lecture a vote
of thank.' was moved to the rev. gentle
man by Mr. S. Pollock, ascended by
Mr. Stephen Yates, and carried imam-
- mously. "The National Aathem"by the
choir, and the benediction by Rev. Dr.
Williams, brought the proceeding* to a
done.

Pew
eee Cass. -On oomplaint of C.
Crabb, of Goderich, Mr. S. Blair, of
Goderich township, was examined before
Mayor Forrester, of Clinton, on a charge
of perjury. It appears that Blair had
given to D. McDonald, clerk of the
county court, a sworn statement u to
the amount of grain be had, which had
been seized for debt by the sheriff, and
complainant thought he had good evi-
dence to Drove that this statement was
base in several particulars, one being
that he or hip brother for him, had sold
to "Mr. Irwin 14(6 bushels of wheat.
Several witnesses were examined, but
nothing very conclusive was elicited, and
the case was therefore adjourned for
further evidence.
Castes INTELLIOEN('E. - The other
day one of our G. T. R. conductors eau
surprised to see a little black and white
dog curled up cosily on the aisle of a
passenger car. Upon making enquiries,
the ticket puncher found that the ani-
mal was owned by Mr. John Scobie, of
the Star Salt Works, and was in the
habit of jumping on the trains u they
were moving, and getting off at Seaferth
of his own accord, taking a return trip"
at his convenience. The dog never at-
tempts to get offat any other station but
Seaforth or Goderich, and is %aps
careful to take an up -train from the for-
mer place. Mr. Scobie at one tune re-
sided at Seaforth, and his dog evidently
relishes a visit to old scenes, travelliug
as a first-class passenger and a boss
deadhead.
We have received from the publishers,
John Lovell & Son, Montreal, a copy ofr
their Business and Professional Direc-
tory for this Province, and can recom-
mend it as a valuable work of reference,
for office use. With the exception of
the census returns, it is corrected up to
the beginning of this year, and contains
historical sketches of the Provinoee of
the Dominion and Newfoundland; dir-
ectories of all the cities, towns and vil-
lages of Ontario; lista of banks in Cana-
da and their agencies; the customs and
excise tariffs; postal guide of the Domin-
ion; list of newspaper' and periodicals
in Ontario and in Montreal; railway
routes with key; list of telegraph offices
in Ontario, etc. It is the most complete
work of the kind yet issued, and should
be in every business office.

times of '43, '44, and .'45. He did mor
trains through to Winnipeg without I than any other person in Canada toward

of a first -clans passage at a very low rate

W. H. Jackson, Deputy Adjutant Gen-
eral of Military District No. 1. thus re-
fers in his report to the 33rd Huron
Battalion of Volunteers: -
"Owing to the deficient numbers in
several battalions that were in brigade
camp, special authority was given for
eight companies of this corps to perform
drill in camp at Goderich for a penal of
twelve days, under the same regulations
(so far as applicable) as those governing
brigade camp. The corps was mustered
on the 13th September, 317 strong. The
Deputy Adjutant General was present
at the camp eight days, and saw the
work being carried out very satesfactor-
ily. Lieut. -Colonel Roes is zealous,
efficient and painstaking, and is well
supported by his several officers. The
position drill, as carried nut by Major
Cook the Adjutant, was expeditions and
beneficial. One day the guard had
been mounted very dirty, and they were
lying around on the grass with all ac-
coutrements off; attention being sailed
to this irregularity, they were at once
cleaned up and corrected; sobseruently
this service was better performed.
There also appeared to be a difficulty in
getting the belts and pnuehes properly
cleaned, this however improved as the
camp went on, and before nreaking up
the corps looked clean and soldierly.
The Major General inepectedthe camp
and battalion on the 22nd Septemher,
the day previous the Deputy Adjutant
General had mane an inspection, when
the oorps msrched put in column and
quarter column, performed manual and
firing exercises, general battalion move-
ments, extending for t),e attack, tiring,
et , all creditably done. Target prac-
tice was carried not nn the ground. We
are indebted to Mr. Attrill for the ire
of the beautiful ramp and drill grounds,
and rifle ranee '.
