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

tery and corresponding members present,

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

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.

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.

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.

on the Agricultural park and formed a
monster procession under the direction of

assisted by Nath. Johnston, distriot mar-
shal, and John Maine, local marshal.

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.
