any home township (Darlington) were
arAkang, eoure of Ole early settlers there.
I recall Tvici-aughlin, tNey, Aitleens and
later Little, Evans. Within the past
few years I have" lied two short visits
front my friend of 1876, Mi John
Stewart, who resided aboet one mile
east of Gorrie. ' I was gratified to find
him so fresh and vigorous and able to
converse freely on matters of Church
anRcleSvteartteirig tO the ministers of the
former time I may say that up to the
year of my pastorate,. twentyefoier min-
isters, including -the fueiOis, who were
permitted td t-ernaln but one year each,
served en Ilowick Circuit, which was
its ecclesiastical name until Gorrie
was set off as ,a station at the confer-
eace of 187p. John Hough, whet meet
still be remembered by some, was
stationed there in x8e7-58, and was' re-
turned in 188e, as pastor of Gorrie.
Mrs.. Hough was an excellent woman
and,renclered fine service on all their
charges, She fitiished her 'course in
Gorrie, December 1881, at the early
age of 51 years, The widow of Rev.
Wm. Howke, pastor in 1872-75, is still
living in Grimsby, and enjoys fairly
good health at the advanced age of 93.
Of the 24 ministers referred to above,
all have been promoted to higher ser-

/lean the name of the present Pastor
, -
of Gorrie, Bro, W. A. Finlay, stood
upon the District, two or three years
• of which he spent as a student at Vic-
toria University.
I .recall three series of revival •ser-
vices during the year 1876-77 Which
were: planned and conducted by my
Superintendent, Bro. E. .Kershaw. He
was a ready gospel preacher, of unct-
ion and fervor, and a most congenial
companion in the work. Some four
weeks were given to Belrnore, three
to Gorrie, concluding with three or
four weeks at Wroxeter. The ,visible
results were most encouraging What
throngs of people came to Gorrie on
the Quarterly meeting occasions—in-
cluding representatives from the six
outlying appoietments—filling the old
frame church to capacity, even after
it had been enlarged by the addition
of generics in June 1876. The Gor-
rie choir was a valuable asset, "sing-
ing in the spirit" those grand old gos-i
pel hymns and anthems tt which the
people so heartily joined. As I am
not a pessimist, I dare not say that
the former times were better than
. these," yet, in my humble judgment
we have not much in the line of chnrch
music today, which can surpass the
; Q id tunes, DeFleury, Lydia, • Stella,
t Adma, Justification, Traaquility and
Port Hope. A very tender chord is
a , touched -1-.1 my her -t as I even name
•them'at this writing. 'But I must con-
clude. I am aware that all your read-
ers may not be interested in jottings
a such as these, but as Abraham Ltncoln
il once said "F•or the people wht) like
this kind of thing it is the very thing
they like," I know the number of
former residents must be small, who
remain in Gerrie, yet I have sometime
es felt that I would like to spend, a
Sabbath on this historic corner 61i
which has stood the twot places of
wors,hip where the Methodist families
have met for the past sixty-nine, or
more years.
Now I must stop or the Editor will
say that I can remember anything
better than I cau remeinher jest where
to stop,
Yours sincerely,

Listowel Business Section Blaze
What Might have proved to be a
very disastrous fire occurred in the
business section of the towtolate Wed-
nesday night of last week. The fire
is believed to have originated in the
rear of Banzley's large clothing store,
which was completely gutted. The
buildings on both sides of Banzley's
--Stuart's drug store and George's
restatira.nt—were also damaged at the
back, and The contents of the ,latter
w,e-re destroyed by *ate_ road smoke.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Builds Power Ice Cutter
Ice harvest opened in Teeswater last
Thursday and a number of men and
teams were employed to fill the sev-
eral ice houses --of the village. Thom-
pson Bros., who have charge of the
cutting of the upper dam, have
designed an ice cutter which was built
:by R. J. Armstrong. It consists of a
fram.e which tilts on two runners and
on which is mounted a Ford engine
shafted and geared to a 32 ,inch circu-
lar saw. The engineend clutth works
the same as on any auto except that
the shaft on which the circular turns
is geared to run at a faster rate than
would the wheels of an auto, with the
engine running at the same speed
At the side of the frame is a gauge
which runs along in the cut previont-
ly made and kteps the block uniform
in size, To operate the cutter -the en-
gine is started, the machine is moved
into position, and a lever pulled which
tilts the frame so that the saw drops
and to a depth of 12 inches. The ma -
Thine is pulled by hand and- a cut
•about so feet long made. • The saw is
tilted up again to clear the ice, the
machine pushed into position again
and so the. cutting goes on. • After
enoitgli has been cut one way the
blocks are then cross cut and then
are cut all the way throughnby hand
one way. The machine will cut in the
neighborhood of 4.0 blocks an hour
and certainly has the old way of cut-
ting- by hand beaten for time.
They intend to make some altera-
tions iii the design next season where-
by the 32 inchisaw will cut to a depth
of 14 inches.—Teeswater News.
