Mies Sadie McMillan, were driving home
from Seaforth their horde took fright and
ran away. They had proceeded as far as
what ie known as Grieve',' bridge in Mo•
Killop, and just as they were going over
the bridge the horse took fright at some-
thing and started to run, the two Mies
MoLotosh's bolding onto the reins very
pluckily. Somehow they were thrown
out before the horse ran very far, but Mies
McMillan still remained to the baggy,,
and the horse continued to ran at a very
rapid rate, and about a mile and a half
further on the horse ran into the ditch,
apeetting the buggy and ooeupaut badly
Smashing/ the buggy and, strange to say,
when found a few minutes later by Mr.
MaIntoeb, a brother of the young ladies,
Mies MoMillan was sitting on the aide of
the road seemingly noiujored and the
horse none the worse for hie fast ran.
The young ladies we're then taken home
to their father's residence, on the 41b
oouoeeeion of McKillop, where it was
found that Mies McMillan'scondition was
very Berthas, she being of a very nervone
disposition, and medical aid was at once
summoned, but about 8 o'olook she died.
No marks or braises were found on her
person, and it is thought she died from
fright, she being rather delicate of late.

FORWARD MovEoENT.—Rev. Mr. Geddes,
referred to in the following interesting
note was at one time located on a charge
in this locality :—The Presbytery of
London met at Allem Craig on Monday
evening of feat week, when Rev. J. H.
Bruce, B. A., Toronto, waa ordained to
the ministry and designated as a missi•
unary to Hanan, China. Rev. Dr. Mo.
Tavieb, of Toronto, was present in behalf
of the foreign missionoommibtee. Mr.
Brace took a high standing in bie
academia coarse, being a graduate of
Toronto University and Knox College.
He bas for some time been aasietant to
Rev. Dr. MoTavieh, in Central church.
The reason of the ordination being held
in Allan Craig lies in the fact that the
joint oongregabion of that place and
Carlisle (Rev. W. H. Geddes, pastor) bas
recently decided to 000tribabe 5500 an.
nnally for five years towards the support
of one of the missionary candidates who
had offered for service. The foreign
mission committee was highly pleased
with this proposition, considering the
strength of the congregation, and at ones
allotted the above named gentleman. In
the raising of this fond no canvass was
made, but instead subscription Dards
were issued to the members, with a abort
explanation of the proposed plan, which
bad previously been submitted from the
pulpit, with the approval of the joint
session. These oards were returned, with
the above result. The pastor asked the
people from the start to make the effort
a matter of prayer, believing tbat apart
from the direot result, the congregation
would reoeive a spiritual benefit. This
fund will not represent the total mission•
ary giving,' of the congregation, being for
a speoial objeot. It is interesting to note
also that the neighboring congregation of
Nairn and Beechwood (Rev. Jos. Elliot,
pastor,) lame for some years been ooutri•
bating a substantial portion of the salary
of Rev. J. A. Slemmoo also of the Honan
staff. Their last payment for this par.
pose was over $450. Thin plan of indi.
vidnal congregational support for the
foreign missionary appears to be steadily
gaining throughout the Mutation abaroh,
and bide fair to prove a great impetus
toward,' the more rapid spread of the
Ohristian faith, amongst the people who
have heretofore lived and died in
ignorance of its saving truths,
Rev. James MoAlieter dropped dead ab
his home on the Preston road, Galt,
Monday morning last, from heart failure.
He waa 76 years of age ; entered the
Methodist ministry of the New Connexion
in 1850, bis oirouite being Gouldoarn and

Mr. McAlister was in many ways a
remarkable man, and a eelf-made one.
He was progressive, energetic, optitniotio,
broad•eolnded and sympatbetio. He was
a prominent figure in the agitation for
the union of the New Connexion and the
Wesleyan bodies, working for ib with
both pen and tongue. His pastoral work
was a lasting tribute to hie an t:aeete'
minietry, and all over Ontario hearts will
