Mason's and was at the depot to take the train for distant parts when chief Gill tapped. her ou the shoulder and demand- ed the goods or their equivalent in cash. She had no money ani was wearing the new attire, but offered to give herself over to the law. The chief, summing up the circumstances connected, thought it more prudent to allow her to go on her way. Honor to Whom Honor Is Due, An exchange, referring to W. J. Clark of Exeter, in the line of church work, has this to says--"IVIr. W. J. Clark has been • known for many years as one of the most devoted S. S. workers in Canada—though • he is still (suite a young man. He is a Canadian by birth, a staunch Methodist, and in the "line of succession." He was chosen to office in his boyhood. days, in connection with the James street church, Exeter, Ontario, �f which church and school he is still an official. Besides faith- fully serving the interests of his own church and denomination, he, for a num- ber of years, filled the post of secretary for be "Sunday School Association of Huron" -perhaps the largest and best equipped rgeadzation of he kind in the Province -and he was, lastyear, its highly esteem - d President. In the discharge of all nese duties he has shown tact and judg- sent worthy of a ninch older head. Nor Is he less skillful when he undertakes—as he occasionally does—to address the Sun. day school convention or a mass meeting of children. Those, however, who •know Lim most intimately, honor him most for the manliness of his christian character. As he teaches, so he lives, in the church ancl out of it. And he is because of this not only a worthy representative of Canadian Sunday school workers, but a Rying testimony to the quality and value of the work, as well." -A Sad End. At noon on Wednesday the intelligence of a suicide by hanging, in town, soon • spread, and the community was surprised • and sorrowful at learning the victim to be none other than the wife of Mr. Edward Gill, an esteemed citizen. The event was a suprise to the hushand, who, in the morning had left his wife in apparent good health, and who, the day previous, with other members of the family, had accompanied her to church. All was well. As ie usual Mr. Gill, who leaves home early in the morning, for work, ate his breakfast alone. Mrs. Gill arose shortly afterwards, dressed herself, and dressing the young son, gent him to her sister's Mrs. R. Sander's with some milk, telling hisn to remain there till noon and retura with his father. Her instructions were ,fisdlowed ; and the father and son on going home for dinner found the house empty. • Mr. Gill seeing that no preparations had, been made for dinner became curious and began to inquire into the matter. Notic- ing the barn door partially open, he went thither, and peering through the opening, • the door being tied with a stout cord, he beheld the rtjfeless foim of his belovetl wife suspended by a four -ply clothes lino front a rail strung across two beams in the barn, With the •assistance of neighbors the body was cut down, but, according to medical testimony, the spark ef life had gelid some three hours previously. The Coroner was notified, but upon being made aware of the circumstances of the sad event, he did not deem an inquest ne- cessary, no foul play being suspected: Mrs. Gill at times became •delirious and it le supposed that M a mood of despond- mmy she thus committed the daring act. The husband, family and friends have the heartfelt sympathy of the community.

The Ministerial Association of South norm; held Use regular monthly meeting meeting in St. Paul's church Mission hail. Hensall, on Mouday IVIarcn 4th. There was a good attendance of members and the names of Messrs Acheson, of Kippen, and Wileon, of Exeter, were added to the roll. The minotes cif the previous naeetiost were read and approved. The Rev. J. S. Cook of Hensel], moved a motion condemnatory of the principles of the Jesnit Bill, The discussion of this was postponed until the afternoon session and the regular programme of the day entered on, which consisted of papers from the Revs, J. S. Henderson of Hen. sall, and W. M. Martin of Exeter. The topics being respeetively "The Bible and Civilization" and "Objections to Morality of the Bible." Thee papers give rise to animated and instructive criticism, on the part of the other members of the Associas 'tiers, and the time ocoupied, both in the reading and in the oriticiem, was felt by all the members to have been most profit- ably spent, The discussion ma the .Tesuit 13111 was then entered on. Most of the members present felt that there are grave difficulties in the way, whatever course our rulers take in the matter, although some of the principles contained in it were ensparingly condemned. It was finally decided to postpone the passage of any resolution and appoint Revs. J. S. Cook Benson, and Acheson of Kippen, to ead at next meeting, papers on the his- ory of the Jesuits and the principles of he present Bill. The association then djourned to meet in the Main-st Meth - dist church, Exeter, on the first Monday n April. •a Excellent values in tweeds at the big bankrupt store. Rev.

Batrecit, The Mutual Life Insurance Company, since its organization in 1843, has paid to its policy -holders $272,481,339.39. The wonderful growth of the Company is doe in a large degree to the freedom from restriction and irksonse couditions in the contract and to the opportunities for in- vestment which are offered in addition to indetnnity in case of death. The Mutual Life was the first to prahtically undertake the simplification of the insurance con- tract and strip it off a verbiage in the mazes of which could be found innumer- able refuges against claims of policy- holders who had, however unwittingly, departed from the strict letter of the agreement. That this appealed power- fully to the popular taste is evident from the fact that in 1888 the company wrote over ni 03,000,000 of new insurance. Terrible Railway Accident at St. George. • A terrible railway accident coourred on the Grand Trunk 'Wednesday evening at St. George, near the Town of Paris. The St. Louis express, which leaves Windsor at 1:40 p, In., while going at the rate of about forty miles an hour, fell through an iron bridge, killing 12 persons and wound- ing thirty. The accident was ocecteioned by the breaking of the driving rod of the locomotive and one of the trailing wheels. The rails were spread, and the train jump- ing the traok, drove the tires into a heals, thus allowing the dining and Pullman oars to go through the bridge and fall a distance of sixty feet. The accident appears to have been an unavoidable one, and had it not °summed upon the bridge nothing more serious than a lively shaking up of pass. engers would have resulied. '1'he bridge appears to have been in perfect repair. The killed are: Geo. Legatt, Wna. Wemp, of London. Dr. Swan, Woodstock. • A. W. Francis, of Woodstoce. Mn, McLean, of the firm of MeLean Beecher, Detroit, Mich, E. R. 13ainee, of London. Mr. Peers, Woodstock. Harry Angle, fireman. Mrs. Higgins, Toronto, and an unknown lady. Two of the injured have since died, man Lerner Adeinner.
