They had with them camping equipments, pro- visions, &c., igind usually pitched their tents where night overtook them. An -engineer, a gide, and a cook accompan- ied the party Barring the annoyance from black fli s and mosquitoes, they had a very enjoya le trip. In their travels they came ac oss many beautiful inland lakes and riv lets, all of which swarmed with fiah of arious kinds. Here and there are pat es of arable land, but the country generally is reported rocky and. unfit for cultiyation. There are Spots of excellent white oak and pine timber, and 'the party came across several places where there were strong indications of good. mineral deposits, and they secured excellent specimens of iron ore. All of the gentlemen named were pretty well bronzed with rthe aun, and on arriving home showed every indication of having fully enjoyed bush life.

T. Goldsmith, Seaforth; Rev. H. Cameron, Kippen ; Rev. H. Gracey, Thames Road; Rev. J. Holmes, C. M., Exeter, and Rev. Mr. Ryan, °harsh of England, Exeter. The pro- ceedings of the day commenced shortly after 2 o'clock P. Ma, by Rev. Mr. Gracey giving out part of Pse.hn 84. Rev. Mr. Holnies -then read 1 Peter 2, 1-17. Rev. Mr. Cameron offered prayer. Mr. Geo. McLeod then came forward and read a paper giving a historinal sketch of. the congregation. Mr. Wm. Bawden read the names of those invited to take part in the ceremony. Mr. Thos. Ballentine read the names of the Session and Man- aging Committee of the congregation. Elder D. McKay read names of Building Committee, contractors and architect.

John Anderson, Esq., the oldest elder in the congregation, then presented the trowel to Mr. Wilson.
