The pastor received eleven per- sons into the church as the result of the special effort.

West was called on to give a recitation and to move votes of thanks. After a few introductory remarks he said be needed a little assistance and called for N. M, Richardson and Mrs. W. H, Zeigler to come to the platform. He then read an address and called on Mr. Richardson to present a purse, which contained $85•oo, end on Mrs. Zeig1'''r to present a quilt to Mrs. Hamilton and a silver mug and chair to Master Douglas. Mr. Hamilton gratefully replied on bebalf of his wife and child and assured them that the memory of their kindness would al- ways be treasured, and trusted that in future a place would be kept for them in their affections. The national anthem and benediction brought tbe meeting to a close. Much credit is due to all who contributed to make the social function so enjoyable and suc- cessful. GREY to cents gats THE Pos'r to January est rgo8. Mrs. Docket returned home on Fri- day from a visit to Mount Forest. We are sorry to hear of the illness of Mrs: Carr. 3rd line, but hope she may soon take a turn for the better. A number of farmers are having tbe power straw cutter at work in their barns during the past few weeks. The probabilities are there will be no Municipal contest in Grey this year thereby saving the expense of an election. A good share of Fallplowing was done this season but more land will yet be turned over if Winter does not set in too soon. This banner Liberal township will be well represented Friday afternoon of next week at the annual meeting of East Huron Liberals. The chief speaker will be Hon. A, G. MacKay, leader of the Opposition in the Legis- lature. About the time Alexander McDonald 4th con., died his brother Donald of Vancouver, B. C.. also paid Nature's debt. He had been ailing for a long time. Deceased was a former resident of this township and was known to a good many readers of THE Pos'r. The Blyth Standard of last week says :—Jobn Smith, of Grey township, has opened up a Deering agency in Andrew McNally's frame building and will be moving bis fancily and house- hold gond to town in the near future. Mr Smith has secured the house form- erly occupied by Charles Hamilton and will live there for the Winter. A SAD BEREAVEMENT.—It is our painful duty chronicle the death of to Beulah May, aged four years and ten mouths, only child of A. W. and Mrs. Marquis, Belmont Man. This sad event occurred on Monday afternoon, November [8th, after a abort illness of cerebro -meningitis, The funeral ser- vice on Tuesday afternoon was con- ducted by Rev.

The casket was covered with beautiful flowers from sympathizing friends, including a wreath from the Methodist Sunday School ; spray from Mrs. A, Tumotb ; wreath froin Mrs. Smillie ; spray from Winnie McLennan, and a wreath from the Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church: Being of a bright, cheerful disposition Beulah was a general favorite with all who knew her.

Advocate, of Nov, 22nd refers to former residents of this town- ship, in the person of N. M. and Mia Anna Richardson. as follows '—A Harvest Home Festival was held in the Presbyterian church on the even- ing of November loth. A bounteous spread in the basement gave the key- note to the entertainment, Much care was shown by the ladies in the ar- rangements of the several tables, which were at once tasteful, beautiful. wad sumptuous. The program was begun in the church shortly after 8 o'clock, The audience was large and comfortably filled the building. On the platform beside the pastor, Rev. Hugh Hamilton, B. A., B. D. were Rev. G„ W. Qinty, of Redvers, T. Smith of 0ilmore and D, . H. Jacobs, of Carlyle, all of Whom delivered ad- dresses of a high order, witty, humor- ous and instructive. Mesdames. Midge ley, Bosomworth and Combo sang solos iu their best style and were . en- cored. A bass solo was rendered by O. Dawson entitled, . "The 'I'WO Cities," which gave fine scope for his full vocal range, The youngest soloist of the evening was Laura Addaway, Who sang "In the land where the Angela are" and received a hearty encore from the audience,Two reci- tations were 'given by Miss Anna Richardson. !'The Mourning foil" ETHEL.

DEBATE,—The question debated in Gibson's Hall Saturday night was "Resolve that money was more influ- ence over man than woman was," and both sides were so well sustained that the judges bad great difficulty in arriving at a decision but finally gave it to the negative with one point to spare. The Hall was packed to the doors with an appreciative audience and although many were uncomfort- able the order was excellent. The reason for not meeting in the Town- ship Hall was that the 'township Fathers had seen fit in their wisdom to raise the rent to such a figure that the Society could not pay it. The next meeting willl be held Saturday Dec. 7th. The subject and place of meeting will be announced in Tim Pose next week, invited to come to Goderich and investi- gate. He prnounces some of the cases an exceedingly mild form of smallpox but says there is not the ,slightest oc- casion for alarm as the trouble can be cleaned out puite easily and quickly. Every precaution is being taken, The Board of Health are bolding daily meetings, a strict quarantine is put on any suspected houses, compulsory vaccination bas been .introduced, the schools are closed Ulla week and a vaccinatiou bee took place at the Town Hall Saturday afternoon for the child- ren a certificate of successful vaocioa- tion being required. before they will be allowed to return to school. If there is any success at all with the vaccina' tion, those who have the so-called smallpox itself will no doubt be able to contemplate the rest of the population who are taking the prevention, with feelings of relief that they themselves bad the disease instead of the prevent-. ion. for there will -be a far sicker lot from the vaccination than from the disease. Sunday the chnrches and Sunday schools were closed, and theatres, lectures, skating rinks, etc„ are closed or cancelled, but there is a prevailing opinion that .'far more strenuous measures are being taken than are necessary, as there is doubt in a good many minds yet as to whether there isany smallpox or not here, and this opinion is not apparent- ly confined only to the laity, for one at least of the smallpox suspects were allowed out on Saturday by his medical attendant. Some of the houses where the trouble —whatever it is— bas been were disinfected Monday morning and it is probable a very abort time willsee the end of it.

The attendance was large and the program all that could be desired. Fax was in his usual good form and kept the audience in roars with his comical songs and costumes which were en- tirely new. Miss Mabel Manley, vocalist, who appeared here for the second time, was well received and her singing highly appreciated.

Dean Sra,—We have been visiting Detroit the last few weeks, and Bite. most people were unxioae to know the modne- operandi of the great work now inpro- gress—the -Railway tunnel- under F Detroit river. We visited the spot, the approach to the tunnel being on 12th street about one mile West of the centre ot the city. The MiohiganUentral Rail- way is doing the work right alongside of ite own tracks where is seen the entrance about 100 feet below the whine of ground. Yoer readers will no doubt be interested to learn about the: new style of tuunel building ander a gret4 river, ' The Baroia=Port Hnruu one was bored some 38 to 40 feet below the bottom of the, river and as the solid earth was remov ed heavy oast iron rings were bolted to- gether progreasing forward foot by foot, banked outelde of the iron ring tube by a,beavy (dating of concrete making it nnoollapeible. On both sides of the ' river the work was simoltaneonely par- ried on'aud both met in centre atter long tedious work. Thie engineering feat of modern times wee done so per - featly that there was not an inch of divergence astray. Instead of boring under the river the new method is to dig witb steam ebovele an immense dibob aoroes the river bot• tom large enough for the double brook, iron tubes to be buried in it, then covered all below, sides and topwitb a heavy layer of oonorete. When finished the, bottom of the river will be lett smooth with no obetrnatlon to navigation. These immense double track steel tubae are built on the shores ot St, Clair river, where there is lots of room, and floated down to Detroit to 600 foot lengths with the ends aimed by timber, Beams aaniked eimilier to the aides of a vessel. They are water and air tight, perfectly buoy- ant, floated and towed down here like the bull of a big barge, provided with large air valvae on the bottom as well as the top. Oontrollable bottom valves let in ' water sad top ones let oat air so when put in perfect position over the big ditoh - in the bottom of the river alt valves are . opened causing tubes to sink into posi- tion intended full of water. When the concrete covering is completed with lots of earth as well to bold them' there they are at proper time easily pumped empty of water. These tubas are round, a few fest apart but are hold together by egnare oateide flanges. To better explain, imagine a great piano of heavy boiler plate standing ou edge 40 feet high, 80 feet wide with 2 holes bored abreast each 80 feet in diameter 6 or 8 feet apart using 60 of these plates standing on edge one behind the other 10 teat apert. ' Then above the great tubas 80 feet in diameter and 600 feet long through all these 60 Meese, all strongly riveted together, and you have the picture of the double tube railway traok tunnel before 11 goee into the big ditah formed to, receive it deep below the bottom of the river. Eaoh 600 feet section ie connected end 10 and with parallel steel bolts, think as your arm, through holes in the *orders of the square flanges in counterpart positions, thus joined togetber in line to it hair's• breadth. Gems of mea are working nigbb and day, 96'8'ente ale hoar, and. - work ie snppoeed to take two years before coma elation.

The evi- dence given was that of Thomas Laing, the conductor of the train ; L. Swift, of Stratford, the fireman ; lohn McDonald, the yardmaster, and Samuel Bissett, the owner of the cow which caused the derailing of the cars. The trainmen all agreed that it would have been no safer to have gone down tbe hill with the an- gina foremost than to back down, in view of the low speed at which the train was moving, and the' evidence showed that the lookout man required by law to be stationed on the leading car when backing up was in his prop- er position, the unfortunate victim of the accident standing on top of the leading car. As soon as he gave the signal to stop the emergency brakes ware applied. County Crown At- torney Seager watched the case, but took practically no part, as no evi- denue of criminal negligence came out. G. F. Blair acted for the Grand Trunk Railway Co. The coroner was Dr. Holmes. SMALLPDX.—It is usually the case that news becomes added to as it travels, and . already exaggerated re- ports are coming back to Goderich from outside points to the affect that there is an outbreak of smallpox here, The sickness which is at the bottom of the reports is so light that a good pro- portion of the cases reported in this district nava required ne ,medical at. tendanoe at all,, the patient simply not feeling well for a couple of days or so. Quite a number of cases are reported in one section of Goderich Township to. the South of the town one or two to the s 'D Colborne Township Case 1 North and several in the town, There was a. differenceoE opinion among the medical 1neti of the town as to whether or not the disease was a mild .form of small pox and Dr. Hodg,tts, of the Pro'tbcial Health .Department, ryas DOMINION PARLIAMENT. Parliament opened at Ottawa on Thursday of this weak. It is probable that the mission will continue from now to May. The Conservatives who a few mouths ago were quite eoepioioos teat Bic Wilfrid would go to ate country before an- other session are now quite as auspicious of the prolongation of the life of Par. liament until 1909. As a matter of fact, there is no legal need for dissolution until Autumn of that year and the Prem• Mrs projected tour of the West next Fan would seem to indicate that no appeal to the electors is autioipated before another twelve months at least. The work of the coming eeeeion will not ba light. The big projects of material development now in practical politica, apart from the Grand Trunk Padilla which ie in the hands of the contractors aro the All -Red Line the extension of the Intercoleniul into Ontario, and the Georgian Bay Ottawa Ship Canal. It is probable that all of these questions will be thoroughly ventilated daring the eeeeion. Legislation of Importance in reference to life insurance is almost ready for preaentatiou to the House, and a asap iu the direction of a state supervised system of annuitiae for the len well-to-do in old age may be taken along the line indicated last year by Sir Riohard Oartwright. Of tariff legislation there will he very, little, the thorough revision of last union making itunneoeseary.
