A Sight for Elly Gazers.
The sun presents a rather remark-
able appearonce just now. 1 here are
two spots on its sur'aee that can be
seen with the aid of a piece of smoked
glass. One of these, the most conspic
uous, is near the solar meridian, and
the other is not far from the eastern
edge of the disk. A telescope shows
an immense white tongue dividing the
black centre of the largest spot, and
also reveals a number of smaller spots,
which, together with the large ones,
form a belt across the sun from east to
west. It has been thought that the
manimum of the present sun -spot per-
iod of the past, and that during the
present year the spots will gradually
become smaller and less numerous.
Now is a good time for possessors of
small telescopes who have never stud-
ied solar phenomena to see what sun
spots are like. Even an ordinary spy-
glass will suffice to show that the
largest of the spots now visible has a
black center surrounded by a dark
gray border. Of course a smoked glass,
or better, a piece of black glass, must
be placed over the eye -piece before the
observer yentures to look at the sun,
for otherwise very serious injury might
be caused to the eye -sight. And with
a telescope exceeding an inch or so in
aperture it would be dange, ous to
trust to the protection of such a screen
for the heat would be likely to crack
the glass, In such a ease a Special ap-
paratus must be used. It has been
said that these sun spots have been
directly concerned in the production of
the recent foul weather, They show
surely enough that there are storms on
the sun.

THE NEW METHODIST CHURCH. -The
corner stone of the new Methodist
church in this village was formally laid
on Thursday of last week, Queen's
Birthday. The ceremony commenced
at half .past two o'clock, and was wit-
nessedby a large number from the
village and surrounding country. The
proceedings were under the direction
of the pastor of the congregation and
Rev. Mr. Howell of Goderich. The last
named gentleman gave an interesting
address in which he depicted. the pro.
gress , of Methodism from the early
days until the present time. The.
stones were laid by Mr Wm. Pengelly,
of Hensall, and Mr. Walter Keddyof
Usborne, both of whom delivered short
congratulatory addresses, and added
to the subscription list for the building
fund, the formes $140, and the latter
$100, The buildiug fund was also ma•
terially augmented by other liberal
subscriptions and by a free will offer-
ing contributed by the audience. After
the ceremony of laying the stones was
over, addresses were delivered by Rev.
Mr. Galloway, of Seaforth; Rev. Mr.
Henderson, of Hensall; Rev. Mr. Mc-
Donagh , of Exeter, and Mr. M, Y. Mc-
Lean, Seaforth, This part of the pro-
ceediugs ended, the company proceeded
to the lawn adjoining Coxworth's hall,
where tables had been spread by the
ladies of the congregation, and a .most
sumptuous repast was partaken of.
The new church is to be of brick with
a basement the full size of the building
and the whole will be constructed in
the most modern style. It is expected
to cost about four thousand dollars, and
when eompletedd to be free from debt,
as the most of the required amount has
already been subscribed. It will be
an ornament to this bright, prosperous
village and a credit to the lib-
erality and zeal of the congregation
and their esteemed pastor, The total
proceeds from the corner stone laying
and tea meeting mounted to the
handsome sum of $40.
The loss by the Fraser riper flood
estimated at $4,000,000,
