The Methodists of Fordwieb intend builciig a new brick church the coming summer. to cost about $2,500, over $2,000 of which is already subscribed. George Magee, who has been attending Mount Forest Model school, is home again. He has secured a position in tire Fordwie1 school for this year. On Fridey a dots got omong the china in one of the grocery stores in Goderich, doing damage, it is said, to the extent of $20. The dog mistook the window for the door. Sarni. Scarlett, of Calgary, has arrived in McKillop. He has been in Calpn ry district for some years, is engaged in ranching, doing well, and speaks in high terms of that country. Hiss Isabella Cowan, third(daughtet of Walter Cowan, formerly of the 5th son cession of McKillop, but now of O'Brien County, Illinois, has reoentlybeen elected Superintendent of Public Schools .for O'Brien County, at a salary of $1,000 a year. The Anneal meeting of the Howick Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Com- pany will be held in Campbell's hall, Gerrie, on Friday, Jan. 10, 1890, at the hour of 12 o'clock, noon. for the election ofdam re, and the transaction of other Widnes. On Saturday, 21st inst., the widow of the late Gal. Young passed quietly away to her long, rest at the ripe age of 88 years. She was loved and respected by all who knew her, and hog Lite was a liv- ing testimony of 't noble, Christian char- acter. Her remains were interred in the Lakelet .cemetery 00 Sunday, One of the first pioneers of the town sbip of Howiok, Robt. Johnston, has been buried iu the Presbyterian ceme- tery, Fordwich,his six grandsons being pallbearers. He passed away at the age of 85 years, leaving a wife and six children,. 82 grandoh I,lrea and 25 great grancichildren to mourn his death. J. J. Irvine has purchased the farm of Simon 3. Barrows in hir.Killop, bear Leadbury. The price agreed upon ie $5,100. There are 40 acres plowed on it, including 8 aores sown in fall wheat. It is one ofthe nicest end best 100 acre farms in that township and is adjoining Mr. Irvine's other property. It is Mr. Barrow's intention to buy a larger farm and remain in Ontario. Exeter was shocked to hear of the sud- den death of Mrs. Trivitt, wife of Thos. Trivitt, on Christmas eve. A. Christian lady, well known for her kind heart and deeds of love, she will leave a blank in the Church of England congregation in Exet- er that none can fill. Ailing for a few weeks, she passed away without a atrnggle in her husband's arms. Mr. Trivitt has the sympathy ofa communitythat shares his grief. They must have a funny time at their truetee elections at Gorrie, judging by what the Vidette says : "Squire Ross, the retiring trustee, wag again nomin- ated as was also Jas. Armstrong, V.S. A "pole"was demanded and voting was pretty lively, nearly all available votes in the section were "poled." At the close of the"pole" the votes stood Arm- strong, 81 ; Ross, 51." We don't like to suppose that the eleotore were treated to a ride on a rail, but what businesa had anybody to demand a "pole" ? In order to teat some of the statements put forth at the Brussels Farmers' Insti- tute, Alex. Gardiner, of the 14th ponces. Mon of MoIiiliop, experimented with a pure-bred Berkshire pig he killed recent- ly. He weighed the animal just before killing it and after it was dressed. The pig was 18 months old and before being killed weighed 840 pounds. After being dreesed it weighed 307 pounds, there 'being juet 88 pounds sbdnkage. The width of the pig in tbe inside net at the f3rst.rib was 2j: suchen and at the widest part of the ribs 13 inches. Mr. Gardiner thinks that if a Cheater White pig of the Same weight can be found with a smaller inside and less waste than. this Berkshire shows, the former must be a pretty good pig. On Tuesday evening of last • week the family of Roderick Gray, in McKillop, near Seaforth, were startled by the and. den clap of thunder and sharp flash of lightning. From the severity of the con- cussion they were sure Rome object near by had been struck by the lightning, and on looking out they were startled to notiee the implement house in a blaze, the fluid having struck one corner and get it on fire. Fortunately the pump was close by, and by the application of water the Sire was extinguiehed without much damage having been done, This building is attached to Mr. Gray's other largo barna and stades, and hail the fire not been noticed just when it wasrtbere is no doubt but the whole would have been burned, ae there was s high wind blowing at the time.

At a meeting of the directors of the Blanshard Mutual Piro Ieeuranoe Com- pany held last Saturday the reoretary was instruoted to place all assessments not paid on or before, the 23th inst., in court for collection.

A meeting of the Elam Conservatives taw held on Tuesday afternoon of last week, at Newry, for the purpose of elect- ing officers for the current year and the transaction of other business. feeling reference was made to the death of Jn.eph Johnston, a former active men,- ber of the Conservative party.

At the Division Court held in Mitchell recently, Isaac vs. the Corporation of the town of Mitchell was disposed of. The plaintiff, Rev. John R. Isaac, of Auburn, had charge of a congregation in Mooktou , but resided in Mitchell. His claim was for $21, the amount of taxes which, being exempt from taxation, he claimed were illegallyoolleoted from him. The defense was that the plaintiff had no charge within the limits of the corpora- tion. Judgment was given for plaintiff for $14.00 and costs. A. meeting of the Diroctore of the Elma Fire Insurance Company was held at Atwood, on the IOth December. Min- utes of last meeting read and approved. It was agreed that on account of having no fires of any cense:pence this year it would not be necessary to make an as. eessment. Slime last reported malice, tions for Insurance were received and ac- cepted amounting to $22,550.00. The annual meeting of this Company will be held at Oorrie's Hotel, Atwood, on Tues. day, the 21st January next, at 1 o'clock p. m. A pitiful aot in a cad tragedy was en- acted a week ago by the removal of a young woman, twenty years of age, daughter of a respectable farmer in Elma, to an asylum, while the eooundrel, who was the cause of the disgrace and humil- iation, which finally turned her insane, has made good his escape. As near as can be gathered the facto of the case are given below, the names, of course, being withbeld. Early last spring a middle- aged man, representing himself as single, and his name as Jackson, secured work with a farmer in Elma, with whom he remained for the .summer. He sought the acquaintance of the daughter of a neighbor and, under promise of marriage, accomplished her ruin. He reoeived let- ters from the States, one of which con- tained a photo. of a woman and child, which happened to fall iuto the hands of his employer and aroused his suspicions. This woman proved to be Jackson's wife, as became evident by a letter written by her to his employer and making enquiries about him. He made good his escape, leaving the poor girl, who had trusted him too well, to bear her disgrace alone, and which proved too much for her men- tal balance. The people of Elma are eminentally law abiding, but we would not advise this fellow to be seen near the township again.—Listowel Banner. The Stratford Beacon says :—Last week a seine was enacted on Downie street whiob, while,a source of amuse- ment to a number of the witnesses, had also its pathetio side. A mai carrying a child of about live years of ago was seen to issue in some haste from 'a resi- dence in the neighborhood of the station, and dose in his rear a woman, lustily raising the hue and cry of "Stop the man 1 he ie stealing my obild I" The man's appearance indicated a previous struggle in which, like Tam O'Shanter'e mare, he had not come off soathless, for he was minus the skirt of his coat, which from the waist down had been left in the clutch of violent bands. Several citizen who happened to be at hand barred his progress and for a time it seemed ae if the ohild would' be torn limb from limb, the woman in the struggle being dragged on her face on the eldewalka Some' of the spectators constituted .tliemeelvee a court of inquiry and the following was elicited : The man is the lather' of the child, and the woman is the matbor of the man and therefore the child's grand. mother. The child has lived with its grandmother from its birth when its mother died. The young man, having again entered the matrimonial state, wished to, get poseeesioh 05 his child. The grandmother objects, hence the trouble. This is at least the second un- suecees£nl attempt on the part of the father to get his child. He lives in a Western town in this Province. Ethel. School re -opens on Monday of next week. Mrs, Ilobert Tindall, of the North- west, is visiting relatives and Mende in this locality. At tho annual =heel meeting last week Wm.

Times are hard, however, and the $50.00 or $00.00 saved will no doubt be put to a good pur- pose. How would it do to spend a little Of it in adding to our sidewalks ? HYdirrNF,AL.—On Christmas day our young friend Wm. Tindall, well known here, was united in marriage to Miss Delila Carter, of I'ordwioh. The aero moray was performed by Rev. T. A. Wright, at the rectory, Gordo. ]lir Tindall and bride arrived home the same evening. May health„wealth and tiros - parity attend them is the wish of all who know the contracting parties.

The addrsss was read by the pastor and the presenta- tion made by Mies Elizabeth Daroy and Miss Annie Coats. Mr. Stubbs made a suitable reply. He leaves for Stratford Business College on Saturday. We wish him success. Hie successor= the school hill be Jno. Iioll'oway. HE DEerinvnn IT.—On Monday last some forty bushels of oats were brought and presented to the Methodist minister of this place. They were collected by S. Ames and F. Miller from the friends of Roe's appointment. They left saying, "More to follow.” Mr. Davis, sines com- ing to labor on this circuit, has had not only his horse given him, but also the whole of his oats. Tho friends of the above appointment have displayed in many ways their practical Christianity to their young preacher. OnIT.—As the old year was passing away and 1890 dawning a little company of relatives and friends was gathered at the residence of Elijah Bateman, west of this village, watohiug the ebbiug tide of life as the spirit of Eliza B. Bateman took its flight. It was all calm. The traveller was prepared for the journey, with the comforting assurance' "Though I walk through the valley and shadow of death I will fear no evil for Thou art with me." The deceased has not been in good health for some years and despite the best medical skill slowly wasted away. She was not onudned to her bad, however, until a few days previous to her death and on Christmas day was taken in a buggy to a neighbors for short visit. Miss Bateman was a patient sufferer but was quite willing to go when the Master called her. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon, the inter- ment being made at Brussels cemetery. The parents and friends of the deceased have the sympathy of the community in their loneliness and sorrow. Wh en we all gather home in the morning, At the sound of the great Jubilee, Well meet with the friends gone before ns What a gathering that will be." 5'Oertion•th.
