The London Free Press of Tuesday
says :—Rev. Ernest and Mrs. Grigg,
late of Sandoway, Province of Arracan,
Burmah, gave a very entertaining
talk to a large audience in the Talbot
Street Baptist Church last night. They
added interest to their lecture by ex-
hibiting a large number of curious, in•
eluding dresses, sashes, turbans, jewel-
ry, models of boats, houses, pottery,
and mental work used by the natiyes
of that far bast country. Their de-
scription of Burmah. its products, habits
of the people, religious beliefs and the
nature of their work Droved exceed-
ingly instructive. 'Mr. Grigg is a
native of Exeter, and before entering -
the Baptist ministry was a member of
the Talbot Street Church, having been
baptized by Rev. Mr. Porter, the - pre-
decessor of Rev. Ira Smith, the present
pastor Mrs. Grigg is a native of
New Brunswick, and has labored with
her husband in Burmah for three years.
They were compelled to take a rest on
account of the prevalence of jungle
fever. They have a territory 45 miles
wide and 300 miles long, in which are
480 Christians, including 25 native.
pastors and four schools. Among the
audience at the lecture was a British
soldier who had served in Burmah for,
seven years. He *as more than de-
lighted with the accurate manner in
which Mr, and Mrs. Grigg told of the
habits and customs of the Burmese:

all that medical aid could do gradually
faded away until death relieved biro of.
his sufferings. He was a former resi-
dent of Usborne and also of Exeter and

of his death. His remains were brought

A country newspaper publisher who
had been looking to vain far delinquent
subscribers to pay up, wrote the follow•
ing:—"The editor sat in his office cold,
whence all but he had fled: but he
wished that every last dead beat was
in his grave—stone dead. His mind
then wandered far away to the time
when he should die, and his loyal
editorial soul go scooting to the sky;
when he'd roam the field of paradise
and sail o'er jasper seas, and all things
glorious would combine his every
sense to please He thought how then
he'd look across the great gulf dark
and drear, that yawned between his
happy soul and those who swindled
here; and when for water they should
call, and in agony they caper, he'd
shout to them : 'Just moisten your
tongue with the due that's on your
paper'"
On Tuesday morning last Detective
.I. T. Westcott received a message from
Mr Arthur Forbes, liveryman, Seaforth
to look out for a man who had hired a
horse and rig from him on Monday
morning to go to Exeter and who had
failed to return when agreed to. The
man belongs to Detroit and is a sup-
posed crook. He has several aliases:
McLeod, McCaun and Scott. He claims
to represeut the Scott electric light
company, of Detroit. He was seen in
Stephen township and was going in a
southerly direction. The top buggy
was an end spring, painted black, made
by McDonald of Seaforth, a black mare
with a white spot on nose, and silver
mounted harness. The man is dark
compleetioned, clean shaven, dark hair
sprinkled with gray, slight built, height
about 5 feet 8 inches, wore dark clothes
black dress coat and brown soft, felt hat.
