A. Popular Book.
We have just received a copy of Mr.
E. B. Biggar's "Anecdotal life of •Sir
John Macdonald" from the press of ino.
Lovell and on. Montreal. Attractive
in its title and modelled afterJennings
"British Parliament" it is one of the
most fascinating works we ha veread in
a long time. In a tersel3r written pre-
face the author °talkies his work, its
object, and the sources drawn upon for
information and then follows nearly
three hundred and fi Ly pages, from
which we venture to Skty more will be
learned of Sir Joha Macdonald, than
from any life that may be written here-
after or is now before the public. The
loyalty, ability, and success of the late
Premier is shown in a way that is nei,
ther fulsome nor unfair Mr. Biggar
carries with his biography many of Sir
John's contemporaries, and one lays
down the work with.o highregard for the
rugged honesty and loyalty of Alexand
el Mackenzie,and George Blown,and a
pardonable pride in the great men chat
Canada has produced. We are sure
that this book will do a good is for
Canada,, and we prophecy for it the
largest sale of any Ca.nadisn publica-
tion, a patronage it well deserves.

Mr. D. C. Haskett, who lives on the

dent at Lucan the other night. His
horse became udfnanageable and ran
against the sidewalk in from of Wil-

was laying on his back linable to
move while Mr. Haskett was under
the sulky. When assistance arrived
the unfortune man wae released from
his perilous position in an illSensible
state. He regained consciousness in
aboat half an hour afterwards and
was driven home. Beyond a few
scratches on his face he looks none the
worse.
A heavy thunderstorm broke over
this section on Sunday afternoon and a
heavy rainfall was the result. The
storm was hevere, 1fl110h daniagac, was

Huron Presbytery.
special meeting of Huron Presby-
tery was held at Olinton last week.
The principal business was to consider
the call froni Mount Forest Presbyter-
ian church to Rev. D. M. Ramsay, of
ondesboro and Hallett, The calling
coiTgregation Was represented by (tele
gates, is Londesboro and "Linea
congregations were gepresented by
Messrs, John and George Watt, H.
Reid, Jas. Campbell and Robert, Scott
These delegates teslified to the unani-
mous desire on the part of theie people
that Mr. Ramsay should continue to be
their pastor, but at the same time they
did not want to stand in the way of
Mr. Ramsay earryitig out his own de.
teires in the matter. Mr, Ramsay ex-
pressed his desire to accept the call
frogi Mount Forest, Whereupon the
Presbytery confirmed the call and
granted the translation, ordering that
the pulpits of Londesboro and °Burns'
<thumb, Hullett. be preached. vacant on
the 16th inst. It IS expected that Mr.
Ramsay will be inducted into his new
pastorate about the 20th inst -At the
same meeting Rev. Mr. McMillan, of
Manchester and Smith's Hill, sent in his
resignation of these charges, The res
ignation waS ordered to lie over until
the next meeting of Prsbytery. We
understand that in the event of the
Presbyte.ra- accepting his resign ationi
it is the intention of Mr. McMillan to
return to the Old Country to further
prosecute his studies.
Kippen.
The Kipper'. Parsonage Board met in
the church at 4.15 p. m. on Monday last
week. The Hensall Board having ex
pressed their willingn,ess to accept $180
as their share of the value of Klippen

the board that this sum be paid them.
In order to raise this amount of money
it was divided between the 4 churches
on Kippen circuit as follows. -Chisel
hurst, $60; Kippen, 50; Hill's Green,
$40; Drysdale, $t30. -The following
men, viz: -Mr. Cudmore, Geo. Wren,
Joaeph Foster and Wm. Stevens were
elected trustees in place of Wm. Cald-
%yell, Chas. Redmond, C. Aldworth and
Justice Menu's, who have the board, as
the result of their transfer to another
circuit.
ie Kippencureuit have resolved to
hold another harvest home this year
Kippen is becoming such a centre of
attraction for camps, picnics, etc.,that
it is chosen as the place foi9 holding
said harvest home. The date fixed is
September 8th, so as to be sure all har-
vest is home. Mr. Iryille is going to
try and make this it success. The
whole quarterly board is going to as-
sist him in the effort. There will like-
ly be singing alternately by each of
the circuit ehoirs,and a lecture by Rev.

Several of the farmers of this neigh

very fair.
On Friday evening of last week sev-
eral of the people from this vicinity as
sembled on the beach of the Ross fi3h-
ery for the purpose of taking a sail on
the lake and Captain Ross ''being ab-
sent at the time Mr. T. Vine kindly
volunteeredshis services as captain for
the occassion, which were accepted up-
on their seeing that they either had to
do that or miss their sail, so the boat
was launched aud they all took their
places, with Captain Vine at the tiller.
It being a slight land breeze all went
,sell as long as they were going west-
ward, but when they turned for shore
it was a different thing for to use the
captain's own words the plagued
thing wouldn't go but just drift aim-
lessly around", so finally the captain
ordered the sails to be lowered and he
would scull her ashore, but the scull-
ing proved as unsatisfactery es the
sails had done before, and the miseralp
le boat wouldn't move, so at °last hi
