THE $tit,--H..vi.lg been a reader- of /, ■QE Sh)NAL toned its first issue by the late Thontag liuQ ieet, ;oil still favored With it, weekly visits, may plead my ex- cuse for trtsp.tssing on your columns, believing that many of my old friends and neighbors in Goderich and vicinity, will be Lrahtied to hear of movements in this. the most southerly part of onr Dominion. But tint, alluw me to allude to my forty-one years sojourn in the Huron district. In 1832 my father selected a home for h* family on the lake shore, some toils south of Gudertch, and the following year found. us, nine in all, on our arrival rrom Edinburgh. Scut - land, enclosed within the walls of a roof - leu shanty, save the cove-ing afforded us by the &ail. of the two small boats that bore us from the wooded villain of Goderich there. Size about 16 feet square—hewlo.ck brush the floor, with piled up trunks at night for a doer our nearest market Detroit. Risking the weather and character of the half-breeds employed coasting all the way in an open boat, compelled ua to depend large- ly on the woods for a living ; not at all particular as to t]}° bill of fare. Our fi.•at crop of wheat, grown among the legs, not having learned the art of flail =skint', was threshed hy pounding a handful at a time on the edge of a coarse b .x, my father at one and I at the ether. Cleatrini done by, a fair breeze, orf to ruill, a distance of ten mites right thrteigh the woods. A bush- e l being my father's load, half ditto mine ; quite enough for a back of eleven summers. But I need not follow the u ps and .1t,w it of our early hush lifer further. 1 c .old well have enjoyed -a place at the fe=five board of those Kin- ,, cardiac piosrecrs lately noticed in your paper—a goo 1 lu'tny links in the chain of adventure acid privation might have been added trout my experience. But those days and those trials are all nv'er. My father and mother now rest in your quiet cern eery. In April, 1874, I suv- eredDty connection with Goderich, bade f irewell to our dear old home on the Huron road where all our children, eight in number, were born to ua, leaving our brat little nae bebiud to moulder in the dust. It n.ay, t ierrf .re, lie imagined that my attachment to Gtalerieh is string, and my interest in its progress and the welfare .,f old friends is still dear l" nee.

Another vacancy has. occurred in the ranks of the early pioneers of the town- ship of West Wawanosh, in the person of Mrs. ilirvin, wife of Mr. Chas. Gir- viu, Reeve of the township, on the night of the 18th ult. Mr. Garvin was awaken- ed by iter unusual breathing. The doc- tor was immediately soot for, and on ar riving he found that she was beyond the reach of human skilL She remained un- conscious uttil her death, which occur- red on Monday evening, at the age of 59 years. The respect and sympathy for the fancily was witnessed. by the large number that assembled on Wednesday toconvey the body to its last resting place in the Dungannon cemetery. A sad accident occurred at the resi- dence of Mr. Thos. Brown, E. Wane - nos, on Snnslay the 18th ult. It appear the hired man in preparing for church, had left his trunk open. It contained a revolver. Two of Mr Brown's nephews entering the room observed it, they thinking it was unloaded began to ex- amine it, when it was accidently dis- charged, the bullet entering the elder hoy's breast The doctor was imme- diately summoned, who, on examina- tion, diioovered that the bullet had struck a button of his coat, which divert- ed its course. The doctor bas good hopes of his recovery at present. Ss Alum.—The.uther Clay Mrs. Rich ardor°, of tie 19th congestion, acci- dentally scalded her foot pretty badly.

Weir, of the Bayfield concession, was very sudden and unexpdcted- She gave birth to a son eq the 21st inst., and appeared to be in a fair way of ro- covory until Sunday, when she became dangerously ill. mid died on Moud:.y morning. Deceased was a lady held an very high esteem, a lumber of the Presbyterian church, and her untimely death at the age of 33 years is. much re gretted.

The musical pan. was splendid, especially the French piece given by Sias' Packwood ; Mw Kernaghan also sang a very nice piece, but the best of all was a comic song by Mr. LaTouzel, which brought down the house. The proceeds of the evening amounted to $15, which will go to decor- ate the school roots with Bowen for the season. . Osrrrai n.— Died on the 22nd ult., Sarah Vaustone, relict of the late .Iohu Vanstone, after a lingering illness of several years. Deceased was 73 years of age, and was a native of Devonshire, England : she emigrated to this country some fifty ouc years ago, being one et the first settlers in this neighborhood. Since that time Mrs. \-anstone had won the respect of all who knew her, by her very kind and generous heart, was al- ways ready to assist a -friend, and better than all was agood christiau. She leaves three song and four daughters to mourn her demise. On Sunday her remains were (Altered to their last testing place by over one hundred vehicles, showinst the oateem and respect in which she was held. In the evening the funeral ser- mon was preached in the M. E. Church, by the Rev. Mr. Saunders, to a very large congregation. The rev gentle-- uisn, with his well chosen remarks, dwelt strongly on the noceasity of always being prepsurrtl to die, so that they might he nunihered amongst the cho„•u unci. • $51110 :t. r )n Wednesday Mr. E.

Last fall we put in 115 acres of fall wheat ; this @prisg it looks well. We hive this spring plowed and sowed 20 acres of mita, sad bare just started to plow for the Dorn, of which we intend to put in 170 acres." The Rev. Mr. McDonagh, while preach- ing on the subject ..f " Christian Union" last Sunday evening, made sane state rnents which, too my the least, do n -'t ap- pear quite correct in fact. He said "the present movement to consolidate the Mhthodist churches of this a.untry info .one organic ,body, is being forced upon the church' to which I belong " We ask, do not the facts cane prove that the opposite to what he asserted is true,since it is well now and can be proven that fully nine -tenths of the Quarterly Boards of his church. from Vancouver te °.tape, have caned the basis of union with over- whelming majorities; and. besides, we are warranted in believing that every annual conference will give a majority in favor of the basis next June, Dr. Rice, the president of the General Conference, be- ing onr authority. Then what are we to understand by such an understand by such an unsupported statement t If it is claimed that a few of the ministers, most of whom belong to the London Conference, and who have used their ntrnost endeavors to prejudice the laity aa'sinst the basis of union, compose tie Methodist Church of Canada, who, then we can understand what is meant ; but on the other hand,if the .hnrch he made up of the laity (who are represented by their quarterly boards) and the minis- ter", Its assertion is not correct. He made other reference to the laity the correctness,of which we think cann',t be substantiated. While we take exception to the foregoing, it is but fair to say that ere cm endorse much that he said ou the subject of the union.-11ew Era.
