reading of the Scripture lesson on

manner on the subject of conver-
sion. The Misses E. Harburn and

instrumental duet. The hymns were
entered into very heartily. A short
intermission was given to allow the

with a speeding express train and
turned quickly along the track to
avoid a crash. The second last eoacle
of the train struck his car, damaging
it beyond repair. Mr. Bell and Mr:
Wright returned to Toronto and se-
cured another car, arriving home on
Wednesday last.
STORE ENTERED.
Some time in the early hours of
Saturday morning a 'thief entered
Geo: A. Sills Sc Sons' Hardware store
and stole a fifle, a shotgun. several
flashlights and a large quantity of.
ammunition. - Entrance was gained
through the cellar way. Footprints
in the snow showed that the thief was
alone and apparently a young man or.
boy. Constable Whitesides, of Gode-
rich, investigated 'the matter, but so
far no arrest has been made, It is
evident the thief was familiar with the
store and had set his heart on the
guns as -other 'things of greater value
were left untouched,
As snow fell till aboul 1:30 a.m,
Saturday morning, the store must
have been entered after that time,
A new arrangement of the Con-
stable's hours, so that he will be on
duty from. 6 p.in. to 6 a.m, with the
assistant Constable to be day man, as
was proposed last' year, may be
brough-t into effect.
There is also talk of the need of
a modern fire alarm system being'
installed in town. The present sys-
tem is frequently short-circuited,
causing false alarms. I,n the op -to -
date systems the circuit must be
broken in order to send in an alarm,
