Seamon of the Volunteers. No. 6 Company of the 33rd battalion, Huron, attended divine service in the Trivitt Memorial Church on Sunday afternoon last. Headed by the Exeter band, the procession marched to the church, (the band discoursing a favorite march) where an excellent and impress- ive sermon was delivered by the very Rev. Dean Annis of St. Paul's Cathed- ral London. The congregation was large. The hymns sung during the ser- vice were "Onward Christian Soldier," "Oft in Danger" and "God Save the Queen." The Dean preached an able sermon on the duty of obedience, in which he showed how the qualities that make a good soldier are the same that are needed for a good Christian. He showed how he had given much thought to this matter having been educated for the army and having worn the Queen's uniform for twelve years. From the text, Isaiah ii., 4, lie showed the ideal time that the reign of Christ will bring. But the time was not the age in which we live, The best safeguard for peace now was to be prepared for war. He urged the men who were before him, and who had taken upon themselves the duty of defending their country, to be true to the high calling of a soldier. .A. recent speech had been made at a public dinner in a city of the United States, at I for some time.

The fall wheat crop and the spring crops are looking splendid, although a few days ago the former looked meager, a great many patches apparently having been killed by the early drought. Of late we have been favored with waren weather and many copious showers which together gave vegetation a great' impetus; and at this early period the fall wheat is "heading out." If late frosts do not interfere (and we scarcely think it possible now) the farmers are hopeful of a heavy yield this fall.
