The Presbyterian congregation of this village held their annual meeting on Tuesday evening. There was a large attendance, and the report of the managers shows the congregation to be in a prosperous condition.

A meeting. will be held on Jan. 28th to ascertain if the people are prepared to give a call. The probability is that a settled pastor will be in charge of this field soon. S. S. Convention.

West Huron AGI. Society. How to Cure Diphtheria. The Chicago Tribune says:Reporis.> the spread of diphtheria continueta increase from various parts of the ea and west. In some places itlias:assume- ed an epidemic form,and its progressie accompanied by dreadful fatality_ :Iia. such cases it appears to mock :at .the skill of the physicians,and they confer their inability to cope with this swift and deadly scourge. In this conneotios we once more call attention to the,rem- edy which was printed itt the Tribune: a few days since, with accompaying statements from well—known citizen who had successfully employed at ata their own families,and in cases whera their physicians could give no hope. This remedy was the plain juice of the pine -apple, whose acid seems to have the effect of eating off or removing t fungus which attaches to the disease part of the throat,and which is the fatal/ element in such cases. The remedy - has long been known in the south, alai the statement made .as to its efficacy by the citizens alluded to must be acceptt • ed as correct and trustworthy.. It is a very simple one and easily procurable and its value ought to be tested. is the widest possible ' manner. Physicians themselves should be the first to em- ploy it and watch its operation, but if the prejudices against a remedy whicla. is not in the materia niedica are se strong that they will not prescribe it then let patients themselves take the responsibility. The Tribune will ears: glad to print any statement from those: who may use it as to the results, for Ef" the remedy has, such,properties inov coming inflammation, fungus grow, or the •disintegrating work of the :deal- lymicrobe as is claimed for it, the dis' covert' should be made known and prie claimed far and near, Silver Do11aT, The annual meeting of the West Huroii Agricultural Society s was held in the town hall on Wednesday last.
