Recent events in criminal cases seem to be something like an encouragement to crime. McWherrell escaped the gallows, and the lawyer for Truskey, the Sandwich murderer, is working the emotional insaulty plea. Mrs Hartley is acquitted of the murder of her hus- band, and judging from the comments of the press the verdict is viewed as a miscarriage of justice and a triumph of legal pleading'. The brute Chattelle is said to have once been insane, and the latest report is that a Toronto law- yer is considering the chances of de- fending him on that ground. Mean• while every day brings reports of Brim inal assaults on children, and crimes of more or less magnitude. Truly the wheels of justice drag heavily in Can- ada, and the proud boast we were wont to make that the punishment of crim- inals was swift, sure and complete in this country, seems very much like a mockery. This state of affairs, and it is no exaggerations, is not pleasant to contemplate,-Goderich Star. Ministerial Association. The monthly meeting of the South Huron Ministerial Association met on Monday afternoon, Nov. 5th, in Caven Presbyterian Church, with the presi- dent, Rev. Geo. Jackson in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the Secretary, Rev. W. 11. Butt, and on motion were adopted. Arrangements were then made for the December and January meetings. Rev. W. M. -Martin read a sermon on Acts 3, 19. ' By way of introduction, Mr. Martin said the apostles were model. preachers, and therefore examples to all getters. Peter in this sermon drove the Steord of truth home to the hilt. Showed to the very murderers of Christ the necessity of repentance to the blot- ting out of sin. 1 The command given was to "re- pent," which was the starting point of reform and was effected through fear or love. 2 The incentive to repentance was the "blotting out of sin" and God's commands always had the promise of something good following tbetn. This "blotting out" meant the extinction of sin: 3 Repentance must bear fruit, which is conversion. The importance and benefit of this doctrine was shown in conclusion. The sermon which was an excellent homiletic production was subjected to frieudly criticism. Then followed a masterly review of Drummond's "Ascent of Man" by Rev. C. Fletcher. We could not do justice to the paper by any synopsis we have space for and therefor must for the present pass it over. The balance of the paper which will be more in the form of a critique will be.given at the January meeting. . The association adjourned to meet again the first Monday in December in the Main Street Methodist Church. Connell Proceedings.. MoGillivray School Report.

Duff, Ashfield, on the gravel road about a mile or so south of Dungannon, were destroyed by fire. It is supposed to have originated in the kitchen. Mr. Duff and three children had a very narrow escape from being burnt. The house was insured in the W. Wawanosh Mutual For $400 and the contents for $200. He will however, sustain quite a loss. This is the second fire hehas had in the course of three or four years, His barn and out -buildings were des- troyed by a spark from a steam thrash- er a number of years ago. Mrs. Duff being away from home at the time of the recent fire for the benefit of her health, tends to make the sad affair more distressing.

The implements, which were nearly new, and all the winter's feed, were burned with the building, also about 600 bushels of grain. There was about $700 insurance iu the liowiek Mutual, but this will not nearly cover the loss, Mr. Smith has no idea what- ever of how the tire originated On account of the fire he is forced to have an auction sale of his farm stock which will be held to morrow (Fiday) the 16th inst, Dashwood.

Litt, of Crediton preched here on Thursday and Friday everting of last week. Tuckersmith. The following was clipped from a Carberry, Manitoba, paper. It referrs to a former well known Tuckersmith man: "Farmers often talk of hauling big loads of wheat to market, and often 100 to 180 bushels `were brought from Petrel. But Wellwood now carries off the palm and Thomas McGregor is the man who brought in, on Wednesday, one load of wheat which weighed 590 bushels, or the largest load ever brought to Carberry market. For fear some doubting farmer will say this is an exaggeration we will explain: Mr. McGregor loaded up seven wagons, hooked them together and hitched on his traction engine, with a supply of woodand a well filled tank of water, and soon came rattling into town, a distance of thirteen miles. The buyers swooped down on him like so many hawks on a chicken, with their usual bid of 38 cents. Tom was no chick and the bid was no good. He said 40 Soon 39 and 40 was offered, but Tom rattled along and it is said that an ad• Vance on the price was paid. However J. J. Armstrong got the load, and Mr. McGregor realized about $18 more than if he had hauled it in single' loads." Centralia.
