Usborne We have thio week the pleasure of announcing a very pleasant event at the residence of Mr. John Andrews, of Elimyille, which took place on Wednes day evening, being the marriage of his second daughter, Minnie, to Mr. David Rowcliffe.

At the conclusion of his sermon he thank ed the congregatiou for the sympathy and practical support they had always given him. He also ex pressed his thanks to the other churches, and es pecially the Preehyierian Churcb, for their sympathy and support.

The Council will likely take action at the Decem- ber meeting, when the village will be allowed to cut its leading trings and set up business for itself. The vacilla. ting course adopted by the Hay Coun- cil in passing a motion at one meeting granting our police trustees power to borrow money for fire protection and recinding the motion at the next meet- ing almost forced the village to seek incorporation. Whether the village is likely to prosper better under incorpor. ation we are not prepared to say. The general opinion seems to be that incor- poration is a necessary evil, or rather a choosing the leaser of two evils which confront our citizens. One is, that with out incorporation we cannot get either fire protection, or drainage; and the other is that under incorporation our taxes will no doubt be materially in- creased.—Mrs. Wm.

The opinion of some is that the circuit was never in a better condition. During the past year be has been assisted by Rev. J. P.

Two reports from the House of Re- fuge committee were read: One was with reference to a dispute with the contractor over alleged defects in certain work done by him, and the other recommended certain tenders ob- tained for an addition to the House of Refuge, amounting to $4,181, on plans prepared by H. C. McBride, architect, of London. The first report was adopted and the second amended by deferri ngethe build- ing of any addition to the House of Re- fuge until further instructions from the council.

Good News for the Ladies of Canada, Less Deception Than Formezie- The ladies will be pleased to learn that the efforts made with the view• of protecting them against fraud perpet- rated by some merchants and dealer; have been successful beyond anticipa- tion. The substituting of worthless aief adulterated package dyes for the reli- able Diamond Dyes is now stopped in many pieces, and merchants are file. - Out it does not pay to sell a customer what is not asked for. In the past, ladies have suffered mnch trouble, inconvenience, loss et material and money, by having poorly prepared dyestuffs foisted on them when they asked for the Diamcead Dyes. In order to issue continued safety and success m dyeing work est home, at ladies should examine ate& package of dyes offered them, so the: they may take nothing home but tte genuine Diamond Dyes.

Hensall; A rather startling occur- rence took place the other day at Fes- ter's brick yard which some of our citi- zens look upon as incredible. Wishing. to drain off a pond the men at the yam! sank a deep well and the man at tke bottom, suddenly feeling the earth giver away under him, seized the bucket and had barely time to escape. The bottom. seemed literally to drop into a flowing stream beneath and in a few minutes the well filled with water to within. a, few feet of the top when it rose no higese er and has remained at the same depth since, although a steady stream fraen the pond has run into the top. This in apparently unusual here although bn the section of country north of William. - burg there is quite a space between. the top crust of the earth and the Trenton rock, through which a power- ful current of water steadily flows, ap- parently from Lake Huron to Lake Erie.—Observer.
