Hundreds of them all over the Dominion and the United States read the Tittles. It is like a benediction to get a bright, newsy tetter from home every week, THE NEW POSTAGE STAMP,—We notice a decided defect in the new issue of postage stamps the lack of some mark that would serve for at once dis- tinguishing the top from the bottom. One is repeatedly putting the new stamp on upside down,and asloyal.sub- jects of her Majesty it hurts one's feel- ings to be found guilty of standing Her Majesty on her head, When an- other issue is required it would be a good idea to reduce thesize of the ear- rings and to make the top :of the stamp distinct in design from the bottom perhaps by substituting figures for th maple leaves in the lower corners. e T teen 's Ron CEUlOR.—The an- nual tea meeting in connection with the Thames Road Presbyterian church was held on Monday last, the anni- versary sermons beiug preached on Sunday. At both the Sunday and Monday meetings the attendance was larger than on any previous occasion, excepting the openingof the church. The pulpit was occupied by Dr. Dfc- Donald of Seaforth, who delivered excellent sermons. On Monday the usual old-fashioned tea meeting was given, iu connection with which wasa platform meeting. Addresses were delivered by Revs. Dr. McDonald; Bray and Martin, of Exeter, and Jewitt, of Elimville. Rev. Mr. Fletcher occupied the chair, 'while the church choir did good service in enlivening the pro- ceedings. Receipts from all sonrces about $160. MAIN ST. METHODIST CHURCH.—At the February quarterly meeting of the Main street Methodist church, which was held on Monday evening last, the members of the Board extended a unanimous invitation to Rev. Charles Smith, to remain their pastor for an- other year. Since the last regular. meeting of the Board the church has been bereaved of two of its promin- ent members, who were also Trustees and members of the Quarterly Con- ference viz : Messrs. E. Jones and D. Johns. The Board, therefore, took this its first opportunity of placing on recdrd by a special resolution, its high esteem of these' valuable deceased brethren and also of expressing christian sympathy with the bereaved families. Special resolutions of thanks were also tendered to the choir and also to Mr. H. Huston for services rendered. Mr. James Stancombe was duly appointed leader of one of the Young People's Classes. DIED IN THE WEST. -The young man, the notice of whose death we take from the Bossevain, Manitoba, Globe, of January 7 th , is a native of Tuckersntith, and a grandson of James Bonthron, late postmaster at Rodger- yille. The many friends of the family in this vicinity will extend their most sincere sympathy to the sorely bereav- ed friends. The Globe says :—"On Monday morning at twenty minutes to four occurred the death of James Nicol, at the family residence. De- ceased had been confined to his room for about eight weeks from heart trouble, during which tirne he did not lie down but was kept in a sitting posture in bed. SIeep, too, was almost unknown to him ; but at last life's strings couldno longer bear up against the tension, and the spirit took its night to the great beyond where rest is eternal. Cut off he the prime of life —being thirty-one years of age—he will be missed iu athletic and social. circles, but more so in connection with the business of E. Nicol & -Son, with which he was indentified, where his place will be hard to fill. During bis illness, and up to the last minute of his existence, deceased gave no sign, byword action, ton of opposition to the , pP last inevitable result, but bore up with thatllhristian fortitude possessed only by one who is prepared to meet his end with peace. VITAL STATISTICS.—The report of births, marriages and deaths or, the. Province of Ontario, for 1896, have just been issued. This report is always a year behind, due to the difficulty of getting valves, yet it contains some interesting facts. The following state - men isertaini n to Huron n .r p g o are taken from ttsa es ;'pear i.n mind they all relate to 1896 o:—Population, 70,253 ; births, 1,854, being aincrease of 110 over the previous year ; Marriages, 361, a decrease of 42 ; deaths, 587, an increase of 54. The average death rate for ten ears : r y per 1000 of popui- ation was 7.9 , this is as low a death rate as occurs in any county in On- tario, and much lower than some oth- ers, thus showing that Huron is fairly healthy. Of the deaths, pneumonia, phthises and old age carry off more than any other cause. Of the births,. 153` occur in June, this being the larg- est number in any month, February being the smallest, with 73 ; 10 pair of twins were born ; 685 males and 039 fe- Males were the sexes, refuting the ideathat more girls than boys are born. The largest number of marriages took place in March, there being 40, while January, rune, October, November and December, each return 87. More Methodists were married than any other denomination, there being 272, while the Presbyterians cornu next with 251. Four persons over 70 years were married that year';1 male under 20 and 45 females ; there being 248 per- sons married between the ages of 25 and. 80, The ijachelors and beliedicts, of ,$t.

We are always curious about neer comers, wondering what they look kind of neighbors like, or what g or citizens they will become, what their nationality, what their religion and politics, especially the latter at such tunes as" the present. No doubt the same inquiry will rise in the minds of the new arrivals and asking thus:—,i wonder if I shall be at home in this corannunity, whether 1 shall be wel- miled upon; the secret ands will be our conduct to each other.
