—The boautiful new Congregational
• Church just completed ae Listowell was
opened for divine worship on Sabbath
last. The Rev. J. F. Stevenson, of
Montreal, preached enorning and evening,
:and the Rev. John Wood, of Toronto, in
the afternoon. The congregations were
very large on all three occasions, and the

by Mr. W. H. Crombie, Dominion Sec-
retary of the Young Men's Christian

$2,000 still existed against the church

was raised. This is an example worthy
of imitation by many congregations
throughout the Province.
—A serious accident happened to Mrs.
Matthew Steele while driving over a
bridge in East Nissouri, a short time
ago. Mrs.Steele and her aunt were in a
buggy, and it being very dark the horse's
hind feet went through a hole in the
bridge where the planks were worn
through. The horse in its fright backed.
-up, and horse, buggy, and the two ladies
were precipitated down the embankment
which was some six or eight feet deep.
The how must have turned a complete
somersault from the way in which it fell.
There w ere aboutifour feet of water in the
creek at the time. Mrs. Steel was con-
siderably injured internally. Her aunt
Was almost uainjurede The vehicle was
completely wrecked. The council of
East Nissouri are no doubt liable for
-this mishap, and will prObably . have as
much to pay for it as would build a new
bridge.
--The Paris Transcript says
An old man going west on the
•Grand Trunk Express on Wednesday
-evening last had a most. miraculous es -
tape from serious bodily injury, if not
death itself, at Paris Station. He got on
at Brantford and got ceff at Paris to look
around, when the train moved off he
made a rush for the car, and managed to
fall between two down on the rail.
Quick as thought one of the train brakes -
men dropped on his belly on the station
platform and grabbed the old man by the
collar, jerking him close to the platform
where he held him. Another pulled the
bell rope and the train was at once
brought to a stancl and no harm was
done, but had it not been for the prompt
action of the brakesman the man would
surely have been run over. We did not
learn the name of either party. The
brakesman deserves great praise.

BEEVES. —The market has been well
supplied with second and third class cat-
tle. Choice and' well bred are scarce

the desirability of getting rid of their

est possible moment the best blooded

ent that this is the only system of breed-
ing that will be profitable, and opens up
a prosperous future. There have been
