Now we descend by another flight of

are the pleasing features about these

is of vast credit to Mr. Ross, whe has
himself for the benefit of the village
while at the County Council last week.

Ii.enTaient OUT. --The "setting in",
of winter without the usual fall rains
is going tii'proye rather troublesome to
farmers and owners of steels:. A very
largo peoportion of the wells, springs
and creeks have not a drop of water in
them, owing to the long • " dry spell,"
and in many oases stock has to be
driven from oho to' five miles to secure
water. This if continued, all winter,
must prove injurious to the stock, and
extremely troublesome and expensive
to the eteemers. 11 may, however, in-
duce it larger sale of .cattle, and thus
bring down the price of meat.

VESTRY Mezerxe.—A vestry mectina
of thepewholeers of the English church
was held cat Monday evening. Its ob-
ject was to decide what stop the con-
glegation should. take conshquent upon
the withdrawal of a yettely grant of
$150.whioh the church sow' ty has been
in the habit of paying the clergyman
who officiates here and Ws St. James
church, BA-1(11.11pin The Bishop re-
quires that each clergym.an shall re-
ceive at least g800 per annum, and
the church society very properly thinks
that two wealthy congregation like these
should raise that amount without any
assistsnce from it, and declines to con-
tieue the grant longer than this year.
The pews of the Lucan church are
rented, the clergyman receiving all the
rent,over $400, and the idea of some
was to add someting to the rent °reach
to make up the amount required, a
motion was, however, carried that no
change should, he made nutil the Eas-
ter vestry meeting when the -whole mat-
ter should be considered.
