The history of this Oath, stalled after
the eminent Scottish divine, Rev. An•
draw Melville, dates bank to the year
1864 when service was held in private
houses and in the bnelt in the Summer
season. The drat preacher was a eladenb
from Knox College named Donnld Mo•
Leen, who died shortly after be left thin
station. Then followed Alex, McKay,
Rev. Dr. Fletoher and other students
who suppliedthree months of the year
while College was closed. There was
alae an ooctaeional sermon preached during
the year, but nothing regular. In 1857
an sore of land wee bought on Queen
and Tnrnberry streets from Thomas
Halliday for $5 and the frame of a (Murata
30140 feet rained. The building was not
finished until the following year, and
work was principally volunteer labor.
The two first elders were Donald Mo•
Laachlin and Gilbert MoOallum. Rev.
John Ferguson, from Glengarry Co., eves
indaoted in the year 1864 and pot in 15
years of faithful service, Hie salary at
the commencement wan «500 with a free
house, whiob wee inorea5ed to $800 before
he left. Daring the first few years of
Rev. Mr. Ferguson's pastorate be also

dnoting services in both Gtelio and Eng.

Tbie was secured from T. MaMiahael on
William street, and contained le of an
acre, the pries paid for it being $180.
The brink for the thumb was made by
Thos. Alnlay, and the contract given to
Thos. Brown, of Oranbrook, the amount
of the contract being $4,600. Of this sum
there was «2,600 seoured before oommeaa-
ieg to build and the balance was borrowed
from a Trust and Loan Co,, in Hamilton,

ing dee on the let of April every year.
To the credit of the congregation it is to
be said that the last payment was made
in April of 1882, so that the church is
entirely tree from debt at the present
time. The size of the building is 40x00
feet, gallery on three oidee, and a large
and roomy basement, fitted op for Sunday
eabool purposes, The seating capacity is
estimated at 600. Two fermate in the

the Cabinet Ministers are reelected.
Mr. Borden, leader of the Opposition,
who ran. in Halifax, is reported defeated
by Roche, Liberal, by over 150.
At this time precise or exact figura
are not to hand but the story told by the
wires is that the three Hurons have
eleoted Conservatives, Dr. Chisholm
winning in the East Riding by over 180
against Dr. MacDonald ; Mayor Lewis, of
Goderiob,is reported to be ahead of R.
Holmes, of Clinton, the late member I
and 0o. Couooillor 13. 33. Gann, of Sea -
forth, wine in South Huron, against Mr.
Fraser by 100. These returns may be
somewhat changed by the full returns
but theindioatione are that three Conser-
vativea will sit for Huron Oo. in the next
Parliament instead of three Liberals,
North Perth re-elected A, F. McLaren
over Barrister Mabee but Mre Molntyre
was the choice in South Perth, South
Brune chose P. McKenzie, Liberal, over
ex -M. P. Donnelly and the North Rid-
ing Mr. Black, a conservative, over Mn,
Oompbell, In the Middlesexes three
Liberals were returned, Calvert in the
West, McEvoy in the East, and Betz,
formerly Warden of Huron Co„ now of
Parkhill, in the North. In the latter
two Liberate ran. The Ear West and
the Maritime Provinces and Quebeo gave
big support to Laurier.
A current rumor on the street says Dr.
MacDonald was defeated by 160 and a
despatch from Toronto pat the figures
at 168. Nest week the correct figures
will be giv en.
It was quite a land slide in East Huron
no matter which figures turn oat correct
and we are reminded of the truism voided
by the late Sir John A. Macdonald viz.,
"There's nothing as uncertain as an elec-
tion and a horse race." The most
sanguine Conservative, as far as we
heard, did nob prophesy as great a tarn.
31 becomes more evident as the days go by
that the "Still heart," as it ie designated,
Bermes more game than the old time
method of political hurrahs.
Following is a list of constituenoies
from whioh reports were reoeived Thurs-
day night bat in some cases contrary
reports came to band as well so we will
not vouch for their certainty

LITTLE ELECTION SWIae.
That South Huron Gann was leaded
with B, B. shot some wag said as be play-
ed on Mr. Gunn's initials.
The Liberals reoeived their retarne in
the Town Hall on Tbnredtty night and
the Conservatives in the Queen's Hotel
sample room.
Dr. Chisholm made a great rally in
Wingham, Howiok and Tnrnberry and
made quite a slash in the Liberal vole
oast in 1900 in Breseele,
The last summary to hand bef:,re we
went to press was ;—Liberals, 103 ; Cou-
eervativee, 54 ; Independents, 2, giving
Sir Wilfrid a lead of over 60.
Uharlemagne Laurier, brother to the
Premier, was stented in L' Assumption,
Quebec, by aoolamation owing to the
retirement of hie opponent.
The Conservatives were jubilant over
the Marone with good reason too but did
not teles. eo meth comfort out of the
returns fie the Dominion generally.
The official oonnt by the Returning
Officer io next Heron will take plane in
the Town Hall, Brnnsels, on Friday after-
noon of next week, lltb inst., at 4 o'clock.
Few M, P: a will be missed more than
Dr. MeoDonald. He was an inolsive
speaker, a sturdy debater and few men
were better posted in parliamentary
doings.
That 140 mejority of 1900, plus the
expeoted 73 from East Wawanoeh, lulled
many a Liberal in the Riding to sleep, we
have no doubt, Over•condenoe has leen
many a seat.
It looks a good deal as if Toronto were
etill inclined to be Ooneervative. The
five seats all went that way, Hon. (1, E.
