PnEsEeeeenna-Jhat before the close of
the Methodist Sabbath school last Sun-
day afternoon B. Gerry, Assistant
Superintendent, came forward and in a
few kindly, congratulatory words pre.
seated W. H. Kerr, Superintendent, with
an elegant, polished oak, Morris patent,
reclining arm ohair, with corduroy
cushions ; and a fine, large goat robe, as
gine from the school. Tho Superintend-
ent was completely taken by surprise, not
having heard a whisper about it previous-
ly, and what he said in reply we are not
prepared to say. Brussels Methodist
Sabbath school bas had rather a unique
history. 33. Gerry was its first Superin.
tendent, holding office for over 20 years.
He was suomeeded by David Watson, D.
D. S., now of Brantford, who removed
from town in 1880. W. H. Kerr was
then appointed and bas held the position
continuously since then, with the ex-
ception of one year, when Dr. B41(, now
of Toronto, presided. Mr. Kerr wishes
here to express hie sincerest thanks to
his many young friends, and older ones
too, who oontributed so generously to the
above mentioned gifts.

BERT.WIED IN PE/OB.-The Globe, Toron-
to, has reduced the price of its morning
edition from 96 to 94, and dieaonbinued
the seoond edition. The Globe seldom
does bhings by halves, and this is certain-
ly it strong and deserving bid for oironla-
tion. In the announoement .of the
change it is stated that the great reduce.
tion in the price of paper and the intro-
duotion of typesetting machines have
made this possible, but considering the
great expense that they inour in their
efforts to seoure all the news every day
and the exoeedingly full reports that
they give of all important events, 96 per
year was not too much to pay. At 94 per
year their (emulation should soon reach
the 50,000 mark, especially as all the he.
partments, including their exoellent
Saturday illustrated edition, aro to be
kept up to their present high abandsad.
The Globs is generally recognized as the
leading paper in Clonacla, and their effort
to make it possible for every person to
take it regularly should meet with a
hearty responee.
