A young girl about sixteen or sev- enteen, who said that a man - had brought her from Lucknow to God- crioh and had left her there, appear- ed at Clinton one day last week, She had started to walk to Clinton but was picked up by a kind-hearted farmer who brought her to town and h ou bought her a ticket to Lucknow. 5 Ikno She g_c didn't seem to know the name of the man whom she affirmed had abandoned her at Goderich but said her mother was quite willing for her to accompany him from her home. An item appeared Jn last week's Sig- nal to the effect that a young girl had been engaged by the proprietor of one of the hotels in Goderich but hadesuddenly disappeared and no trace of her could bo found until sev- eral days afterwards when she was located at the home of hex brother- in-law. It looked as if this might have been the same girl,- Agent Pat- tison, who took a kindly interest in the girl when she was left in his care -at the station, could not oh- tain the name of the Mian whom she said had left her at Goderich nor yet the name of the farmer who bad befriended her.

TIIE FLAX ALL SPOOLED, Miss Winnie O'Neil and all the members of the Young Ladies' Pat- riotic Auxiliary are very happy and carefree this morning. The reason is that last night the last stock of the five acres of flax put in by the Aux- iliary in the spring was pulled and stocked. Numbers of the young ladies and their friends have been going out ev- ery evening since Thursday last and had gotten the work well under way and yesterday afternoon and evening a final effort was made and the job finished 119, Quite a company went out in the afternoon yesterday and "taking their little porringers, they ate their supper there," after pulling all afternoon and remained the evening. in the evening tirey'were•joined by others until there were about seven- ty-five and tine work .was finished right up.

The Kincardine Review. got into a peck of trouble tate other work by saying that Rev. Mr.:Farr had the host garden in town. A whole lot ot people protested that their special garden'plot Was in a higher class, etc. Finally the Review man, after some more inspection, handed the palm to Mr, R. Walker, who hadn't said • a word about his garden but had been no doubt industriously kill- ing potato bugs, billing beans and turning the hose -on the green pea beds. Who has the bust garden in Clinton ? The, News -Record would Iike to know but firmly refuses to act as ,judge. We have, noticed with much sorrow, being fond of the tub- er, that many promising potato patches are becoming badly blighted.

Dr. Stewart, who for nearly thirty-four :years was pas- tor, conducted the services on the fortieth anniversary 'of his induction. Dr. Stewart took for the basis of bis remarks . in the morning the words found in, Dont, 3-3 : "l'hOu shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God 'lath ' led thee these forty years," and be reviewed the history of the years, bringing to mind the blessings which had follow- ed the congregation and urging upon them the duty of continuing faith- fully in the Lord's service, It was a loving and earnest exhortation from the old pastor for so many years and it was listened to with interest by all present. During the course of itis address Dr. Stewart recalled, as fully as he could from memory, the names of those who were prominently connect- ed with the activities of the church when he' assumed the pastorate, all of whom have now passed on to their reward. The induction took place July 31st, 1878. Rev. Dr. Muir of Goderielr was moderator ; Rev, N. .Patterson of Bayfield preached the induction sermon ; Rev. Mr. Siuberight of Goderich gave the address to the pastor and the Rev. Mr. Cameron of Kippen addressed the congregation. Et might be noted that not one of the members of the Presbytery as it was then constituted is now living. The members of the Session were : Archibald Mathieson, who was Pres- bytery Elder and continued so until his removal to the west years after- wards, where he was ordained as a missionary= and did good work in. the Qu'Appclle district ; James 'Turn- bull, principal of the High school, was clerk of Session and remained so until itis removal' to Toronto, where he also served an an elder in College street Presbyterian church ; ,James Broadtoot, Archibald ' McAl- lister, James Aikenhead, Richard Ir- win and Alex. Aikenhcad. 'Phe lat- ter only remained a short timC in town and is the only member of that session wino is still .living.. The members of the ttrustee '*nerd, as Dr. Stewart remembered them, were : John McGarva, Malcolm Mc- 'l'aggart, A. McKenzie, -A. McCorvie and D. NI, Mallock, Mr, MatIieson was Sunday school superintendent, Robert Burchill as- sistant and Mr. Turnbull teacher of a young men's class, Mr. Malioek, then principal of the Public school, was also a Sunday school worker.

McKenzie, Mr. IJ Straiton and Miss Smith, atterwards Mrs. Swal- low, who was very successful in In- laid class work. Dr. Stewart aro spoke feelingly of the work of the late Thomas Baird of Stanley, "'I'M Master," as h a e tV 4 a CC r ' oua !> t te] f • v called by the rc two or three genhratibns ot z;lrildren Who passed through his hands, who Mr forty years eondttetel 5,811nriay talrool in Stanley, which, though not a branch of the Willis school, could not he 'altogether ilisass0ciated front it as 80 ttraey of the children of Wil- lis inoinbers Were trained there, In Conueeti(m With the Worniet's 'Miss Foreign 's g 'Missionary mar} Society, of which a branch was in operation at the time of his luductiou, Dr. Stewart romem• bored Mrs. Murray, Mrs, Tiros, Fair, Mrs. ee'' I Alur clue, Mrs. Lough and Airs. Malloek, whose death occurred only a few months ago. Mrs. Murray was the last surviv- ing member whose name was on the 5rst communion roll. when the con- gregation was organized. These have all passed on and their work has been taken up h3' others and the man who for over thirty years led in the Lord's work who gave of the strength of his man- hood in service in this field, earnest- ly exhorted his hearers to "Carry on and not to he found unworthy of those who had laid the foundations on which they were building.
