The now building Which occupies the site of the old one, the latter having been moved bank and will become part of the new edifice, will be a very fine structure, surpassing fn aroluteotural beauty any of the churches in this part of the country. The design is modern gothic, with elevated stone foundation, the superetruoturs being of white brick with massive buttresses sap - porting the wade, Towers will be carried up on each corner of the front elevation, one of them to the height of 112 feet. A elated roof, with side gobbles, cathedral glass windows set in elaborate frames, etc,, will combine in excellent harmony in making the new church a veritable "thing of beauty," an ornament to the town, and re oredit to the enterprising and prosperous oongregation who have under- taken its erection.

This interesting meet- ing was brought to a close about 11 c'olook by the bene diction, CnrT-CIraT.—I want oto the Johnson pio-nig, and such a time. I never was more tired, It was wash, wash, wash, clear, clear, clear, but they had a good time there all the same. Some good speaking was clone, through I am no judge of that line, as I am not a speaker my- self, but it would not be hard to decide that the speakers, Mr. Smith, of Wren. eter ; Mr. Hartley, of Bluevale, and Mr. Kerr, of Brussels, were loyal men and good supporters of the Scott Act. Mr. Cook, our pastor, everyone knows which Bide he takes and it is the right one. There is a deal of talk just now of engag- ing teachers, raising salaries and all such. I wonder how many times the trustees go to the school to see how the teacher is getting on. I do not know how they do in other schools but in ours the teacher is visited once a month by some one and about once a year by the trustees. Why, I go oftener than that to see Dur teacher myself. If some of the complaining ones would visit the school occasionally they would grumble loss and try to assist more. I would not marry a teacher, not for the world. Why, they all are as cross as bears and only know how to rule, and I won't be ruled, so now then. We have many a roll, Bob and 1, while pinking apples. Who will get the most tumbles seems to be the rule the boys $o by, I try to wee how few. We had sixty-three pails full, one big basket and one little basket, one retrad and one square basket full of apples, I have for- gotten the name, but it is a very nice apple and I am going to lay away eome for someone, who Domes to see me some- times.
