CIin +. ton and its vicinity' had 'manysinter- ests there and ^many anxious hour( were spent before all were satisfied that those in whom they were most interested were safe. We are glad to be able to say that,as far as known all those from this section who were in the fire zone'.are safe.

Time, was when art, under- taker was an 'undertaker,, pure an simple. Then these' gentlemen cal, led themselves `Funeral Dhreators.' To -day the proper word we are told is. "Mortician!"

A shoe store, if you please, is now a "•Boot- cry-," and - the smiling proprietor 'a "Booterist'" Bankers ::are ealled "Financierists." But where' will it end? Rumour has it that the : C. P. R. town agent, in, order to tnaldi a feeble attempt to get ahead ,of his, 'G. T. R. opposition,. will call himself in future, a:"Transportationist"! AMONG THE CHURCHES Three graduates of Clinton, Colleg- date Institute have been teaching in New Ontario, Messrs. Fred Lawrence and Gershom Anderson 'and Miss Marie Snyder. The fortner who was there last year had a school at Hill- iardton, near Thornloe, one of the towns which was completely des- troyed.

Mr. Stevenson was; through the last big fire, in which there was. so heavy a loss of life, and can.form a pretty good idea 'of conditionsup there at present. - The marvel is that the loss of life in this case was not far greater,' The problems confronting the peo- ple in Northern Ontario aro aimany and varied.Problems of rebuilding' thein; towns, so Completely destroyed; of rte -establishing themselves upon their farms, which are barer` than when they settled capon' therm; of trying to re-establish an organized community'such as they had before, only after yeajs'of struggle and of hardship in many eases, But the 0111 great pressing need as for mediate relief from ' physictl want.
