S. E. McKegney. In the unavoidable absence of tate Rector's Warden, Mr. Chas, Middle- ton, Mr. Ransford was asked to oc- cupy the chair. He made a few in- troductory remarksand always hav-. nig an eye to business, did not fail to refer to Mr. Middleton's being late, owing to his having driven in an auto from London, instead of avail- ing himself of the more reliable and truly palatial provision of the G. T. R. He called upon Col. Combe, who in a very appropriate way spoke of the regret that was general upon Mr. McKegney's departure, and of the good work he had done bah in connection with the G. W. V, A. and the Boy Scouts. Next in order was Col. Ranee, who surpassed him- self, in an eloquent manner, also voicing the general - regret, but at the same time the pleasure, when they knew thtit Mr. McKegney's de- parture meant for him, the desirable acquisition of a terra in the celebrat- ed University of Oxford, Mr, Jas. A. Ford, the People's Warden, then read the following ap- propriate address:. - To Reverend Captain S, E; Mc-. -4Cegney, M. G., - Reverend and Dear Sir: We, -the 'members of St: Paul's church; Clin ton, cannot permit • you and your good wife, to' sever your connection with our parish, without expressing (so far as in our power lies), otir deep regret at your departure and of our grateful appreciation oi'•the un- tiring services rendered during the short terns of your ministry here. You have endeared yourself, not on- ly to us 'your congregation, but we may truthfully ay to the' whole com- munity, by your genial manner, by the lively interest you have eviriced in all matters of import, not only to this congregation,' but to the public at large, and by the unfailing cour- tesy you have shown to all sorts and conditions of sten, We trust that you niay be granted good health and strength to render further services, wherever you may be placed, and to which by the Providence of God, you may be called. As a slight token of our esteem to you and Mrs. Mc- Kegney, we ask you to accept the accompanying gifts, begging that you do-not.measure one by the other, for nothing we could give, would in our eyes be a fitting equivalent to express our regard for you and yours. •Words fail to express our mind in this respect. Signed on behalf of the Congrege- lion," ' Clinton, Sept. 27th, 1921. - Accompanying the address, tete pre- sentation was made. to Rev. Mr, Mc- •Kegne•y of a•handsome elub bag, and a ,purse to Mrs, McKegney contain- ing a cheque; and a beautiful poetic address with a cheque to Rev. Mr. McKegney from the Girls' Guild. - Rev, Mr, McKegney acknowledged all. these tokens of, afi'eetion, in that - facile happy Irish way he so emin- ently possesses, which invariably en- ables him to say the right thing at the right time. The pretty part of the evening was the leading, by cur gallant military member, Col, Combo, of Miss Mollie McKegney to the platform, where she was presented by the little girls with a great -big doll, Mollie did not make.a speech) but her expression of Pleasure conveyed far more than many speeches.

PAPER PRINTED IN 1854. Mr, Win. Jackson the other clay gave the News -Record a copy of .Moore's Rural New Yorker, an agri- cultural .and family newspaper, print- ed in Rochestey, December 2nd, 1854. As wolldoubt1ess be expected the paper was .very interesting, not only from the standpoint of a curiosity, but from. the news which it contains. The following under the heading of "European Affairs", has reference to the "Charge of the Light Brigade" which was one •of the most brilliant engagements in the Crimeanvvar, - "Warlike operations in Europe have reached a crisis and a terrible catas- trophe cannot be much longer de- layed. ' Several desperate battles have already been fought since .the affair at Alma and in an engagement near Balaklava the flower of the British calvary has been cut to pieces Owing to the misconstruction of an order, the calvary charged the Rue- siaua forces drawn up in solid column and defended in front and flank by heavy batteries of cannon. The chaego was one of the most brilliant recorded in history but. it .resulted in the loss of 409 men out of a total of 007". . Another article is of more local interest: "A farmer nanfed McDon- ald, in the township of Goderich, Canada, succeeded in treeing four bears on the 411i of December; and shot them down." We should be glad if anyone can devuige the iden- tity of the above Mr, McDonald. The following is proof that the art of aviation was not a secret sixty-seven years ago. "Mr. Godard made an ascension in a balloon from New York on Tuesday; accompanied by several poisons. He landed a pas- senger at Whitestone one hour after he left New York and left again on his aerial voyage.' ;OVe had thought that there were no fdtmily qultrrels or causes for di -- Vora at that time but the following seems to be evitienae. "A man 111 De- troit hes. been fined fifty da11ai+ and scut to jail for sixty days for whips Meg his wife the second night titter ineeri'age."
