Dr. Brown's morning subject was "Christians, the Salt df the Earth," and his admonition was that the fol- lowers of Christ should be careful that their spiritual influence does hot become weak and ineffectual. In the evening he spoke of "Cowardice in the ' Face of 'Danger, and warned his hearers against this temptation. Dr. Brown is a plain and very fotcful speaker and his discourses were delivered with power asul were listened to with profit.

It said in short : Almost every town and village in the county has had contagious . dis- eases the past season but not so Clinton. This is good. The death rate has been seventeen per thousand and the birth rate nineteen per thousand, There should be a systematic re- moval of garbage and manure. A heap of garbage or manure will breed more flies in forty-eight hours than can be captured in a season, This is an age of prevention and some means should be taken' to re- duce the danger from flies, I have been glad to notice that ef- forts have been made to keep down the dust on aur beautiful :front street. by sprinkling with oil. I hope next season this policy will. be followed to a still greater extent. 6 t Landes be Miss M. Lyon spent a few days with Miss Roe Tavistock. Messrs.. F;, Gibbs and H.
