At the morning session of the Synod of Hamilton and London on Wednesday of last week the standing committees were appointed. It was decided to meet next year in Knox church, Woodstock, on the third Monday in April. A. motion to meet on the second Monday was lost. On recommendation of the uommittse on bills and overtures, the appeal of ens, Munro against the finding of the Presby- tery of Maitland, was referred to a nom. mittee composed of Rev. Dr. Laing, con- vener ; Rev. 0. Fletcher, Rev. R. Hamil- ton, Rev. A, F. Tully, Mr. Rutherford and Mr. Harrison to report upon. IINV. A. rd'NAT'6 APPEAR. The appeal of Rev. A. Money, of Look - now, againat the finding of the Presby- tery of Maitland was tried in open court, and the appelleut addressed the Synod for nearly two hours. His complaint stated that he had been judged without a trial, that the Presbytery had broken God's word as laid down in 0. number of passages of Scripture cited in 'judging that he ought to have granted a certain certificate of character to a member when applied for, and that he took an unwise, arbitrary and unconstitutional course fa opposing the formation of a Christian Endeavor Sooiety after it bad been ap- proved by the session ; also, in admonish- ing him to refrain from pulpit referoucee to prevalent rumors, which he considered it his duty to refer to. The oomplaint of the session of Rev. Mr. McKay's churoh to the Maitland Presbytery stated that on May 7th he had used the following language from the pulpit, which the ses- sion regarded as unchristian, and calcu- lated to bring Presbyterianism into dis- repute :- Whereas, the Rev. A. 1IolOay did on the 7th of May inst., without any ap- parent provocation, it being the Lord's day, use the following language in hie discourse on Beb. xili, 8, namely, "There was a woman, a member of this congre- gation, who took offence at my explana- tion of a part of the second chapter of Titus. She rose and left the church ; as far as I know she bas not entered since. She stated afterwards that the passage did not refer to the women of this time. I was urged by some of our people to go to her and apologize for what I had said, and thus they tried to drag me in the duet. She dug a filthy hole and tried to pull ma into it, but failed to do ao, and fell into the filthy hole herself. A man, too, belonging to this congregation tried to make me a liar, but was caught in his own trap, and was proved to be a liar himself, and yet when he visite the Sun. .day sobool his friends rally round him, caking him to lead in prayer, and give him all the promiuenoe they can" The Presbytery of Maitland found against Rev. Mr. McKay on this and other pointe indicated in hie appeal. The Presbytery of Maitland was represented by Rev. Mr. Sutherland, of Ripley, and Rev, James Malcolm, of Teeewater, who also spoke at some length. Rev. Dr. McMullen moved, seconded by Rev. Dr. Laing, after hearing the case, that the appeal be dismissed and the Presbytery of Maitland sustained. Some dissent was expressed to this, and Rev. Dr. Laidlaw brought forward an amendment modifying the finding. Finally it was agreed to appoint Rev. Dr. Laing, Rev. Dr. Fletcher, Rev. Dr. Laid- law, Rev. Mr. Sutherland and IVIr. Mac- kenzie to draft a deliverance by the synod that would be fair to both parties. °Tann 005L0Ess. A. committee appointed for the purpose of considering the re -arranging of certain congregations in the Maitland Presbytery advised' that the congregations of Bel. grave and Calvin churohee be united, and that the pastoral tie between Rev. Mr. Law and the Belgrave churah be termin- ated ; also that Mr. Law be generously compensated. The report was adopted. An overture to the general assembly in reference to a new hymnal, asking that the Hymnal Committee request the other churohee to unite in preparing a new hymnal, and to ask Presbyteriee to fern. ish a given number of hymns and tunas which they regard as desirable to be in- corporated having bean made, the report was adopted and will be supported before the assembly by Rev. Dr. Laidlaw and Rev. S. G. Anderson. EVENING 8500I00. At the evening session a groat deal of trouble was experienced in drafting a finding on the McKay appeal that would be acceptable to both parties. A commit• tee was appointed with thedelegatee from Maitland Preebytery to confer with Mr. MoXay, to see if the case could not be Battled. After beingont two hours they returned and reported a settlement based an a finding that confirmed Mr. Mo/Cay'e standing as a Christian man and minis- ter of the Gospel, and while euataining the Presbytery's action instructed that any words supposed to imply censure on the appellant should be deleted from the Preebyterial records. The settlement was formally accepted by both sides, and a prayer of thanks was offered by the Synod, Then Acre. Bee, eleir ey deoirod to re.opeu the matter on ellvthee avant, bukbhe mode ator, on thepoint being raised by Dr, Mob1ulien, relod him oat of order, and declared the matter oleeed. It was amaob dil?loult vaae, and oom- piotely eehaueted the pabienoa of the members„ The report on Sunday wheels was pre- vented by Rev, W, M.

Lyle.elan of the latter report some hard things were said about Grimsby Park and the oom' party that operates it. Rev. Mr. Me- Cuaig, of Welland, °baraoterized it fie one of the worst Sabbath desvorating inoti. tutione in the countt'y a place where hireling star proaohere held forth on Sun. day to draw crowds to put money in the abookholdere' pockets. Rev. A. F. Tully blamed the Methodist ohuroh for court' teuanaing the plana, but Rev. 101r, Lyle and Rev, Dr. Fletcher said it was ran by a joint stools company, and that many Methodists did not approve of lt. The appeal of James Munro, of Lon. don, waa laid on the table,. The Synod finally adjourned at eleven o'oloek, She Says that She Didn't Pre- tend to Tell Fortunes. Madame Kowley, an alleged clairvoy- ant, made her debut in the Kincardine Police Court lest Tuesday under the die- tinguiehed patronage of Mayor Tolmie and Ex -Mayor Barker.. This Lady is al- leged to be a fortune-teller. She bails from Port Huron, but her present base of operations is Ripley. Dodgers were issued in that village setting forth that Madame had the gift of drawing aside the veil that hides the fntnre andpreeene- ing the prospect just as it is, before the mental vision of all and sundry of her subjects. She was doing a nice little business when Constable Pratt, who has an "nye like a beagle,' swooped down upon her and placed her under arrest. It may not be generally known, but it is a fact that section 998 of the Grimiest Code nays Everyone is guilty of an indictable offense and liable to one year's imprison- ment who pretends to exercise or use any kind of witchcraft, sorcery, enchant- went or conjurations, or undertakes to tell futures, or pretends from his aki11 or knowledge in any occult or orafty eoienee, to discover where, or in what manner, any goods or chattels supposed to have been stolen or loot, may be found." FAIRED TO CONVICT. The trial came off on Tuesday. Tbree witnesses were called but their evidence went to show that they had their heads read by her and that there was no "for- tune telling" about the performance. Of course there could bo no offence in that, for anybody could see that Constable Pratt himself had his bead red. The Bench bad therefore no recourse but to acquit the lady, and this they did. Whereupon Madame paced smilingly up to the court and in her thankfulness of heart held out her dexter hand to the bench, in order of seniority. But Magis- trate Barker declined her thanks and told her in plain, unvarnished terms that had the evideuoe borne out the oharge he should have been obliged to commit her to the common gaol. The verdict was really one of "Not Guilty, but don't do it again," Mayor Tolmie said that while the case had not been proven be was of the opinion that there was something serious behind it all. He then questioned her regatding her oonneotiou with the Mattheson.case. Sbe denied having said that he was mur- dered, she denied having said that she had met the men who did the deed, she denied having had a contract with the friends of Angus Mattheson to find the body, she denied having posted money that she could find it. All she would ad. mit was that she had a "dream" that be was murdered, that his body was weight- ed with railroad iron and euok in the lake. Ste likewise had an "impression" that he was in a certain part of the lake and she consequently had a buoy placed there. So far as any suspicions against three men were concerned she bad said only what she had dreamed and beard. When the trial was over John Mat- theson, a brother of the missing man, stepped up to the bench and told Magis• trate Barker and Policeman Pratt that all he asked was that she be given a fair trial. She claimed to be able to locate the body and if she oonld elm should be given a chance to do so. If abs failed, then let them prosecute her. In the meantime he was determined to see whether or not there was any virtue in her art. AN INTInvIEW. Madame Bewley was seen by a repre- sentative of the Review on Wednesday. She was very severe in her criticism of Policeman Pratt, Said she "I don't tell fortunes. I am a phren- ologist. I have been soughb however by the Port Huron detective farce for coun- sel in ferreting cases. You remember when those Sarnia young, men were lost? I said they would find all the bodies but one. And so it proved. I always pre. dieted that my husband would be killed by Indians. Much against my will he went to the Bleak Hills and my presenti- ment wee realized." "Were you brought up hero to find Matthesou'e body ?" inquired the Re. view. "Yea," teas the reply, "I was. A. pap. er containing the report of the affair was sent me. I said 'there is a tragedy here.' I dreamed over it. Then I was sent for. I came up at my own expense. Of course I expect a reward if I find the body." "Are you a trance medium ?" ventured the reporter. "No, but when I toll theeo things my head feels ae 0E08 wore in a vice." "Have you communication with apir. ita ?" was the next question. "No, but I have seen spirits," "What do they look like ?" "Well, they are simply transparent forms," "How do yon aecount for your special gift ?" "The Bible says some are born for pro. pheoy. I am differently constituted from other people. I possessed thin gift when 1 wag a child. They say I am a clair- voyant. Well, I don't claim that. I simply read heads, BEAD TUE 1101,0UTEn'e 1EAD. With that the lady told the reporter many things about himself, described his diopoeitlon and general oharaoter aoour- 0007, and all without "feeling the bumps;' sr,,ae Air.
