Annxvnnsens.—The anniversary services held in Ebenezer Methodist church. (Browntown) on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Oat. 7th, nth and 9th, were a pronounced suttees. The weather was good, the roads fair, and almost everyone eeemed to be in a mood Inc enjoyment and profit. The services on Sabbath were marked by deep spiritual feeling and insight, logical aoutenese and intense practical bearing. In the morning Rev. W. J. Waddell, of Ethel,.took for his text, Mark, 10.32, which deaoribes the journey of Jesus and his disciples to Jerusalem just before the oruoifixion, and from it drew many praotioai lessons regarding the spirit and character of Jesus as an example Inc us and the revel• abion of God to the sone of men. This was followed in the afternoon by a stir - mon from Rev. G. H. Oobbledick, B. D., of Brussels, who took as the basis of thought 1st John, 3.4, "Sin .is Lawieee. nese" (R. V.) The sermon was search• ing, pathetio and earnest and was full of beautiful and striking illustrations that could not fail of comprehension by the most abstruse mind. In the evening Rev. W. 3, Waddell again preached, this time drawing attention to David's lament over the death of Abner, text, 2nd Samuel, 3rd ` chapter, 32.88. The lessons drawn were intensely practical and the language in which they were clothed so striking and beautiful that everyone spoke of it in the highest terms of praise. Suffice it to nay the people were delighted and profited by the ser- vices of the day and either of the rev. gentlemen will receive a hearty welcome if ever again called to perform similar serviette here. Considering the airing. nosy of the times and the faob of the tea. meeting to follow, the collections were good, amounting to over $12.00. Tea was served in the shed, which. was nioely fixed up for the 000asion, from 6 till" nearly 8 o'clock, on Monday evening. The tables were spread with oaken, pies and delicaoiee of almost everydesoripbion, to tempt the most fastidious appetite and satisfy the craving of the hungriest epicure. No canvassing had been done, but a simple annonnoement of need made from the pulpit was sufficient to tense the ladies to. prepare in auoh abundanoe that after over 200 bad partaken it. was confidently stated that more provisions were left than had been consumed. Snah is the munificence of the community in. thin regard. After all had partaken to satisfaction they repaired to the church, where an excellent supply of speakere. and singers were waiting to do their best. The chair was taken by the pastor and after a piece of music by the ohoir Rev. P. E. Nugent led briefly in prayer. The first speaker was Rev, E. A. Shaw, of Belgrave, who in a neat, well-prepared and nicely worded address told us some of the elements that bad conspired to leased the Mooney homestead, now owned by W. O. Stratton, of Lancaster, Ohio, for a term of 6 years. S. Hoggerd has been the tenant for the peat 6 years. the home of Inspector John R. Miller was the scene of a very happy event, ba - to Thos. A. Gibson, of Wroxeter. Rev. Mr. Hartley, of Bluevale, cried. the knot. About sixty guests were present. The presents were costly and numerous. Mr. a bring about the marvellous progress that has marked the development of our country. Rev. G. H. Oobblediok 'follow. ed with an address on "The ship that carried me over," intimating that to him there seemed a striking resemblance be- tween a ship and a man. The analogy was cleverly drawu and the application' fittingly made. Then come Rev. le. E. Nugent, of Palmerston, who in his own inimitable way gave us an account of what pleased or displeased him in ern. neotion with the legislation emoted oreral ohangee made by the recent GenCon- ference of the Methodist church. He made some strong points and had the men been here at whom the blows were aimed there would have been some sore spots. The speeches ware all good, coin. bining good sound aense with just enough nonsense to make them intereatiug to any who were disposed to listen. The singing by the ohoir of the church, who were assisted by Miss Jennie Tbyne and Leonard Rattan, wan such as is not often heard in purely. rural districts. The spares settlements and distances to travel make it difficult to gather together a sufficient number of good voices to secure that training and praabioe that are prime requisites to fine singing. But there is, no difficulty hare, with Bennet Rattan as leader, Mies Martha Roe as organist, and it strong complement of excellent voices, the singing is of a high order indeed. There is the entire ab- stance of discordant notes and the bleed- ing of voice with voice in such a way as melte lee every effort a charm. The selections too, were such as to reflect groat credit: on the musical Mete and spiritual souse of those who wars engag- ed in the task, It is nob too much to nay that a large proportion of the samosa of these anniversary services is doe to the efforts of the vary efficient ohoir of the ohurcli. On Tuesday night, for the three -fold purpose of raising more funds, having a good time and making profitable disposition of the abundance of provisions The total prooeeda of the anniversary amounted to about $70.00, whieb will nearly, if not entirely, clear the ehureb of humminransa, NVirrtrtatt,lin • Wingbam L. 0.

Four boys named 'eed Rush and Raub' Snell, of this town, and Lin. and Harry Anderson, sone of Richard Andereon, of Howlett, near Belmore, were taking a stroll through Mr. Anderson's bush on Sunday and ran across a wild oat. The boys had two dogs with them, a'oollie and a fox terrier, and with these and ebloke and stones tackled the Felipe. After a abort, but sharp buesle the oat WAS killed. The boys had good nerve.

OncT: Tha death of Crowell Willson, which occurred suddenly beet Friday removes one of the earliest settlers and beet knoWn residents of Western Ontario. He was in hie 80th year. Mr. Willson represented the united counties Middlesex and Elgin in the old Parliament of Canada from 1851 till 1864, when he re- tired from publio life till 1863. In the latter year he contested Fast Middlesex for the House of Commons, and was elected continuing to represent the riding till 1872, when he again retired. Two years afterwards he \ defeated David Glass in the same constituency, but shortly afterwards resigned his sent and removed to Wingham, where he has since resided. Mr. Willson was one of the old stalwart Conservatives, and a genial, whole.eouled man, and his Budden death will be heard of with deep regret through- out Middlesex and adjoining counties. The funeral took place from Wingham to Arva, Monday morning. The remains were brought from Wingham on the L. H. d B. train, and on arriving at London they were taken to Arva, where the interment took place. About 40 gentlemen from Wingham attended and were in backs in the funeral cortege. • The membership of the Christian. churches in Japan numbers nearly 38,- 000.
