The Presbytery of Maitland performed a pleasing service in Knox ohuroh, Rip- ley, on Monday last when Rev. Cohn Siuolair was formally inducted into the postoral obarge of said ohuroh and that of Knox church, Bervie. Ten members of the Presbytery were preeeut and with them were aseoofated as corresponding members, Rev. Mr. Franklin, of the Episcopal church, and Rev. Mr. Swann, of the Methodist ohuroh, Ripley. Rev. Dr. Murray anted ae moderator pro tem- pore. There was present a fair oongre• gation, considering the busy season among the farming community, The edict of induction was certified as having been read to the congregations concerned. Rev. Mr. West, of Bluevale, preached au excellent biblical sermon, taking for his text Malachi 3:2, and spoke with fervency and freedom ou the refining influence and power of the Gospel as regards nations and sooiety, and of its influence and power in the process of refining 0hur01100 and individuals, This was Mr. West's first appearance before a Ripley audience and a favorable impression of his ability as a preacher was made. The sermon being over the Moderator uarraled the steps taken towards filling the vacancy made over a year ago by the resignation of the late lamented Rev. A. Sutherland, since which time Mr. Sinclair has supplied Knox ohuroh, Ripley, and Knox church, Bervie. It is most gratifying to see the unanimity and heartiness of this call given after a year's experience of the ministry of Mr. Sinclair, and minister and people are to be congratulated on the cordiality with which they enter the relation of pastor and people. The Mod. orator put to Mr. Sinclair the usual questions at induction to which he gave satisfactory answers and expressed hie willingness to sign the formula. The Moderator, after prayer, inducted Mr. Sinclair to the pastoral charge of Knox church, Ripley, and Knox church, Bervie, and gave him the right hand of fellowship as also did the other members of Presby- tery and corresponding members present, and Mr. Sinclair's name was planed on the Presbytery roll, Rev. Mr. MacFar. lane addressed the newly inducted minle. ter—on the duties and privileges of hie office—ae an ambassador, watchman and tinder shepherd. Dr. Murray addressed the congregation in English on the duties arising out of the new relation in which they now stand to their pastor. ROT. Mr. Miller followed in the same line in Gaelic. The congregation with much heartiness joined in praise. This closed a most interesting, and enthusiastic) ger- vice. The harmony and cordiality of the call augure well for a pastorate of useful. nese and prosperity. Loyalty to the pastor and love end kindness on the part of the people may confidently bo predict. ad from their past history. The newly inducted pastor, accompanied by Rev, Mr, MacLennan, took hie plane ab the Clime of the church whore the people on 101101ng cordially miaowed their inninistee by a hearty bend•shalse. At the cordial invitation of the Session the monibcrs of Presbytery and wires. ponding lno1380Ore repaired to the Knox church mane° lawn whore tables were spread with a eumpbuous repast proper. ed by the ladies who were most attentive in serving their guests. The hind hospi- tality shown on the manse lawn will nob be forgotten, A lawn social and recap. tion were held in the same plane in the evening. Among thea rakers wore John Tolmie, M, P., John S.

The British Poetmaeter•General announces penny postage between the United Kingdom, Canada, Newfoundland, Cape Colony and Natal. This is only the first instalment_i the whole empire will soon fall in line, The Ontario Legislature has been summoned for a special session for Aug. Ord, The first reason ie connected with the extraordinary number of proteets entered against members•eleot. These protests call in question the validity of the elections in no fewer than 65 eon- stitnenoiee, more than two-thirds of those represented in the Legislature, These trials have been fixed for various dates extending into November. Under the law the Legislature must meet before Jan. 1G, and itis reasonably certain that in a large portion of oases the final de- cisions could not be given and the new elections held before that date, so that the new Legislature would meet with a considerable number of ooustituenoiee vadum). It is ooneidered to be important that t4hen the Legislature assembles for the transantion of general business every electoral district shall be represented. A second reason is the decision of the fisheries question by the judicial com- mittee of the Privy Counoil. The de. oision, while it awards the properby in the beds of lakes and rivers, and the fish therein, to the provinces, divides the jurisdietian with the Dominion. Tbe Privy Council judgment, while subetan. tially in favor of the province, is not of such a character as to allow the law of 1897 to be proolaimed, nor is it possible, except by new legislation, to modify the law ao as to bring it within the terms of the Privy Counoil judgment. Thirdly, the Legislature will be called upon to deal with the right of constables or specialoonetables, appointed for the Provincial eleotione, to vote to those elections, end possibly with the -position of some other persons, each ae those from whom premises hove been hired for election purposes.

There was a big attendance of Orangemen and others, many of whom had come long die. Lances to honor the day. The number of visitors is placed at 7,000. The citizona of Blyth showed their ap- preciation of the demonstration by tastily deoorating their places of businese and residences with flags, bunting and ever- greens. Five arches were erected by the Orangemen—two on Dineley street and three on Queen street. The word. ''Wel. come" stood out badly on throe of Vie arches and the words "God Save the Queen" on the other two. The Local hotels made ample provision for the accommodation of the many vies. tore, and lunches, soft drinks, etc., could be procured at 18 booths and dining halls, so there was no necessity of anyone going hungry or dry. The only drawback to the day's pro. oeodinge was the lateness of the arrival of the regular train from the South and the two special trains from the North, in each instance they were one and a half and two hours late. On the arrival of the trains the visiting Orangemen were met by their local brethren and escorted to the Public school grounds where they were dispersed and each visiting lodge di- rected to the hotel assigned for it. After dinner the different lodgee met on the Agricultural park and formed a monster procession under the direction of Richard Ma0ommine, county marshal, assisted by Nath. Johnston, distriot mar- shal, and John Maine, local marshal. From the Agrioultural park the route of the procession was along ging, Queen, Morrie, Dineley, Queen and Bing streets and back to the park. The order of the procession was ae follows :— Marshals—Richard Mo0ommias, Nath, Johnston and John Mains.

After returning to the park the speech making commenced, with John Wilford, county master, performing the duties of chairman. Addresses were delivered by Rev. W. W. Leech, of Whiteohnroh ; Rev. Wm. Lowe, of Wingham and A. H. Musgrove, of Wingham ; Rev. W. Rigs- by, of Blyth, and Rev. T. L. Armstrong, of Dungannon. Excellent addresses were delivered and many historic points of in- terest were referred to by each speaker, At the close of the speech making a vote of bhanks was moved to the speakers by Wm. Clegg, of Wingham, and James Roswell, distriot master, Morrie. The audience then joined in giving three cheers for the Queen and the meet. ing was brought to a close. A grand concert in Industry hall in the evening brought the Orange demonstra- tion to a close.

WALKERTON. The 208th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne was celebrated here by en immense turn.out of Orangemen and citizens from all the neighboring towns within 50 miles. The chief attraction of the occasion was an address from the Grand Sovereign of the Order, N. Clarke Wallace. Between four and five thous. and Orangemen marched inpr000ssion to the energetic maga of a dozen bands, headed by the fine band of the 82nd Bat- talion in uniform. Folly 10,000 people assembled in the exhibition amends to hear the address of Mr. Wallace, Bro. Goo. H, Dixon, County Master of North Perth, aoted as chairman, and discharged his duties in a very efficient manner. Nob a drunken man was seen in town during the day. Everything passed off in a very peaooable and orderly manner. Mayor Menzies, on behalf of the citizens of Walkerton, welcomed the Grand Master and expressed lois pleasure at the large turnout and fine appearance of the demonstration. Rev. F. S. Robinson, rector of Sb. Thomas church, Walkerton, a member of the Order, made a brief and pleasant address of welcome to the visit. ing brethren, Liout..Co1, Acott briefly thanited the company for the honor of inviting him to be present. A friend in town had asked him why on cor%h a lot of Irielimen met every year to celebrate a Dutch victory, but in hie opinion ib was not a Dutch victory, but a victory of freedom of thought for mon of all nations. (Choors.) 0. W. Ooeons Past Count Master of North Perth, said be eatne front a good place and might, if he had time, make a good speech, but as the people had come here purposely to hear Bro, Clarice 'Wal- lace, he would retire and make way lir the Sovereign Grand Master. Mr. Wallace then stopped to the front and was rooeived with rounds of cheers. 19 was evident that he held a warm place in the hearts of the audience. He ex- pressed his delight at meeting the men of Huron and Bruce in tide beautiful valley surrounded by hills as eternal as those of ancient Rome. Mr. Wallace compli- mented the ladies of Walkerton, giving Colonel Scott ae bis authority, and high- ly praised the county of 13rn°e in general, He said Canadians did not value their country as they ought. He did not agree with those who decried blue blood and aristooraoy. He said the aristocracy of Canada were the men who went into the woods with the axe on their shoulder and hewed out the foundations of a British Empire in America. Le the North west he had seen the same thing being done, mostly by men from Huron and Bruce. They were the true sons of a noble ancestry. We are, said he, child- ren of a conquering race, descended from the conquerore of Derry. Mr. Wallace then briefly reviewed the history of the political struggles in England in which the people sought to get rid of James the Second, and out of which arose the Orange Society. We are," he said, "their descendants, and we stand for the saws principles. They cast out traitors, so do we. It has been called s political organization, so it is in the higher sense. In this free eoun- try it is the duty of every citizen to take part in the government of his country, When those enbrusted with the adminie. tration of public affairs depart from true prinoiplee it is the duty of all good oiti- zene to bring them to time. When the present Government undertook to settle the Manitoba school question their cour- age failed them. They went to Rome to ace the Pope. Three emissaries, Senator Droleb, Mr. Russell and the Solioitor- General, Mr. Fitzpatrick, were sent to see the Pope to ask him to interfere in the political affairs of Canada. We told them 111 Perlfament, as we had previously told another Government, that we must manage our own affairs, right or wrong and that when we bad become incapable of doing so it would then be time enough to ask the Pope to manage them for us. But in the meantime we bold them to keep the Pope away from Canada, and that we intend to govern ourselves and manage onr own affairs." Mr. Wallace then spoke of his visit to Chicago as a delegate to the Orangemen of that country, and found them imbued with the same principles as ourselves. He had found a vast change in feeling towards Great Britain. The twopeoples had been kept apart by the Fenian ale. ment, but now they were coming to- gether and uniting in the government of the North American continent tinder the Anglo Saxon race, Mr. Wallace closed his addreee with a glowing tribute to Her graoions Majesty, Queen Victoria. He was frequently interrupted with °hears and was loudly applauded at the close of bis address. Wm. Collins, County Master, briefly closed the prooeedings with cheers for the Queen, the Grand Master and the chairman. The weather was beautiful and everything ipassed off in excellent style.
