Henderson preached special sermons on Sabbath, Oct. 411i, morning and evening, the oe- casien being the eighth anniversary of his settlement as pastor of Carmel church. In his opening remarks the Rey. gentleman referred to the work of the past years and to the pleasant rela- tions subsisting; between them, as pastor and people. He referred to the changes that had taken place in the congregation during the past few years, many of the older members were absent on account of death but he trust ed that they were worshipping in that upper and better sanctuary. He em- phasised the importance of every mem- ber of the congregation having a work to do, and doing it faithfully. He only requested one thing of the congrega- tion and that was, that he, their pastor, plight have the earnest prayers of every member of the church. There were, be said, 140 families and 350 members on the roll of Carmel church, and if every member did his and her duty, Carmol church ought to be a mighty force in the community. In the evening the pastor addressed himself especially to the young people. The sermons were both good and helpful alike to old and young, The after meeting of the C. E. Society was led by Mr, Wm. Buchanan. It being the monthly consecration meet• ing, the calling of the roll by the Sec- retary and the responses by the mem- bers, v ere the main features of the meeting .—Why did we not get a re- port fro,- the five -delegates from Car• mai church who attended the late Coun- ty Conventiou of Christian Endeavor at Goderich? The young lady who re- ceived such praise (and she rolled it as a sweet morsel under her tongue too) for a report of the former convention held at Blyth and which she merely read, was one of the delegates and something was expected from her but alas for her cobweb literary reputation her warm friend the scribe was unable to attend the convention this time. The young lady will please accept our com- miseration and condolence for such un- favorable circumstances -Sir. David Buchanan, a student of Knox College and who has been doing missionary work in one of the home fields, preach- ed in Carmel church on Sabbath even- ing.—Quite a sensation has been creat- ed in this- village by the action - of a man named Wm. Farewell, of Kirkton, in uttering Dominion two dollar notes, which had been rather cleverly raised to five and ten dollar bilis. Mrs. Shaf- fer and Miss Smith being the victims. Farewell drove up to Miss Smith's mil- linery store accompanied by a woman, presumably his wife, and bought a ladies' bonnet for $2, giving one of his "tinkered" two dollar bills and getting $S in change, . He then. went to Mrs. Shaffer's and bought fifteen cents worth and presented a Dominion one dol tar note also "tinkered" up to represent five dollars and received his change. As soon as the true value of the notes was discovered a warrant for Farewell's ar rest was placed in the hands of Phil Sippel, constable of Zurich, and on Sat- urday last accompanied by T. Murdock and Mr. Cooly, our -young lawyer, he drove to Kirkton and after a long and diligent search they succeeded in "nab- bing" their man, staying over night in Kirkton and returning to Hensall next day, Saturday, with their prisoner. He. was summarily tried before Magistrates Smilie and McEwen and committed to Goderich jail to stand his trial at the Spring assizes. And now comes the fun. The tall, burly Philistine -like Sippel (a remnant of . the giants) to- gether with the gentle, sympathethic, happy-go-lucky Murdock, and to com- plete the triple alliance, the astute, budding limb of•the law, Mr. Cook, late of G3derich,—this formidable combina- tion of brawn and butter and brain started to eseort the pious weeping- Farewell to the "home" at Goderich. The prisoner who is a man of fine• re- ligious sentiment and zeal (?) exhorted his ungodly chaperones to henceforth live godly, Christian lives. The gentle'. Murdock was much moved, so much so that he could hardly be kept offhis knees. The brawny Philistiue and the astute disciple of `Blackstone, of course were not "moved," except as the horses moved them, and which they did at a pace in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion' until Bayfield was reached, when the "grand trio learning, it is said, that they would receive a reward front the government, of $50, as soon as, the jail was safely reached decided to un- load their prisoner and pull up for "re- freshments.'' The pious Farewell had so won the affections of the grand trio he was that treated to Bayfaeid's best, 'ill the way of "refreshments" and as ag further token of his pious feelings and of his eondeseendiag regardfor his sin= ful companions, be said grace before and after' meat anti again exhorted hie poor guarde to stop going on the "clown - ward" roadto wreck and rain. After supper the prisoner, felt better, and con. eluding that riding was not healthy af- ter a full meal he decided to make a dash for liberty, having previously lightened himself by leaving his over- coat in the "summer house." Although a barbed wire fence' reared itself be- tween him and liberty, yet the made his escalade with apparent ease and: with wonderful celerity, the ponderous Phil- istine imitating the grand act to per fection, barring the tantalizing circum- stance, that in, making the decending curve his coat tails caught in the barbs which imparted a rotary motion to his ponderous anatomy, and not being used to performing on a trapeze of this kind, he had the motion under suee poor con- trol that when he had managed to identify,individualize and localize him- self the lithe and libertyloving Fare- well had disappeared in the gloaming,; The pious Farewell, no doubt would spend a part at least of that eventful night in offering up prayers for his de- liverance out of the hands of the. Phil- istine, while the grand trio would make their sorrowful way homeward, serious' ly reflecting oa the vanity of human, life, and wishing their late prisoner a ranch higher temperature than is usual- ly obtained in this mundane sphere. Farquhar. The annual oyster supper and Con- cert, under the auspices of Court No. 365, will be held in the Forester's Hall, Farquhar, on Thursday evening, Oct, 22nd.
