Dr. Willoughby rising, said. This
is the first time in my history that I
have ever received a formal address of
welcome, and could hardly be expected
on so short a notice to reply to it. He
had been the recipient of an address
from the Ladies' Aid, of the James St.
Methodist church, Exeter, last Friday
night. The Rev. Dr. then made a
short address, giving an outline of the
manner he proposed to work in his
field and a short sketch of his own
family. He • hoped that his people
would recognize him wherever they
met him until he had time to get 'bet-
ter acquainted with them.

ed in a serious conflagration happened
Wednesday in the rear of John Mc-
Lean's drugstore, where several bar-
rels containing coal oil were kept in
stock. It appears that some children

mable material, which had become
well saturated with oil; but before the
flames could make any headway the
fire was discovered and extinguished.

was, he was completely paralyzed un-
til he received medical attention. Mr.
