Mrs. Goode and Mrs. Mel* are next or neighbors on a Danbury street, and there is a frequent interchange of oils between them; but no evil results therefrom, because both are excellent women. Mrs. Goode called on Mrs. Moller the other morning to speak to her about some emptings which acted as if they were not going to rise properly. Mrs. metier haaened back with Mrs. Goode to look at them. After the matter had beeu discussed with the gravity de- manded by the importance of the sub - 'act, Mrs. Goode said— "Did you hear that story about the Ransoms?" "Yes ; it was awful, ;wasn't it? Who 'told y on ?" "Mrs. Liebig." este told, me, too.. I think that wo- man might be better engaged than in telling stories about people." Mrs. Meller spoke with some warmth. 4q should say as ranch," returned ment, addressed, as it was with blunt brevity to "Johannes Cumming Scotus." The prophetical views of the late divine created some stir, chiefly about 1857, 1861, and 1868, the title of one of his books being often employed as a, des- cription of himself—"The Great Tribul- ation coming (Cumming) on the Earth." It was asserted by some of his critics that Dr. Cumming could have had no faith in his own predictiona ; and they asked why, if the world was to come to an end in 1868, he in 1867 took a lease of his house in London for three years longer—a question which the good doctor never satisfactorily answered. His works on prophecy had a large sale, and in his "Seventh -Vial," pub- lished in 1870, he quoted proofs from a great variety of sources that several re- markable events predicted on the page of prophecy had actually been fulfilled during the years immediately preced- ing. As a preacher, his voice was gentle and persuasive; his action in the pulpit slight; his favorite method, at least at one period of his ministry, being te speak with a small pocket Bible in his hand and use it from time to time in the quotation of passages as required. Amidst all his public work, until re- cently he always enjoyed excellent health, his remarks -at the close ()nig ministry in Crown -court being "that he had been upwards of forty years in London and had never known a ' head- ache." Popular rumor associated his name with that of the Times "Bee master," which was the signature to a series of communications to that journal on the rearing and management of bees, which attracted a good deal of public attention fifteen or twenty years ago. In his own professional walk he had twice the honor of preaching before her Majesty—once in Balmoral, and again in the autumn of 1872 at Dunrobin Castle. In connection with the latter of these Mrs. Goode. "If there is anything I occasions, the story is told that at the despise it is tattling. I don't see any - close of the sermon, the subject of thing Christian about it. if there was which was "Communion between more charity in this world it would be Heaven and Earth," her Majesty walk - better for all of us." ed up to Dr. Cumming and personally k 'I know it," added Mrs. Meller, "but thanked him for his discourse, to which people won't be charitable. They will the Queen was graciously pleased to talk and talk and talk. I don't suppose add she had listened with the greatest pleasure. While in no Eense a brilliant 'man, and invariably opposed to the principles and policy of Nonconformists, she had better look to home." 1/4 Dr. Cumming deserves to be remem- \ bered as an earnest evangelical preacher, "If she'd have to give up her care of a devotional writer of some mark, and, her neighbors, she'd have her hands in his prime, a real power in London with young men, especially those from his native land.

"Why, Mrs. G-oode ! you don't say say." , -Indeed I do." "Carried home drunk !" repeated the Huron, on the evening of the 9th of shocked Mrs. Meller.

Why! did her husband drink?" "Drink Didn't you know that? But I forgot, he died before you came here." "Well, I declare!" ejaculated Mrs. Goode, "That's news to me." - "Oh, yes, he was a drinker. He kept full of rum two thirds of the time. In fact," here Mrs. Meller lowered her voice, "there's good. reason to believe that he died. in a drunken fit." "Heavens !" gasped the shocke list- ener, while her eyes sparkled. "Yes, Joe Hook died in a drun en fit if ever there ivas one. But don't speak of it, please.''i ‘1011, I shan't say anything about it. You know well enough that I ain't one of the tattling kind, promptly answered Mrs. Goode. "But who would have thought it. Well, well, well! If I ain't conapletely stumped. I don't see how she can bear to sail around in the style she dues ,-with that awful meraory on her." "Oh, she think's, people don't know it. And now, you say. her boy is going the same way. Do you know, Mr. Goode," said Mrs. Moller, 'repressively, "that I believe these slanderers have a judgment sent upou them ?" "Believe it ?" exclaimed Mrs. Goode, vigorously, "I know it." — Danbury NeW8. ••• THE HURON EXPOSITOR. book' you may reach from the table.

Mn. EDITOR.—Sin,—While staying a the village of B------, in the county o The Late Dr. Cummin.g. RIniiniscPnces of a Famou3 English Preacher. In the death of the Rev. Dr. Cam- miug a conspicuous figure has passed 'away from the Church of Scotland, especially as represented. in London, as well as fiord the ranks of those theo- logical writers who aim at being inter- preters.of prophecy. Born in 1810 of a Highland lamily in Aberdeenshire, ,john Caraming entered on his work in Crown -court, Covent Garden, in 1833. Neither the position of the church which was in a secluded. alley, nor its , ecclesiastical connection at the beginning Af the ten years' conflict which after- wards issued in the Disruption, and the formation of the Free Church of Scot - 'land, was faverable to a successful his- Orv. But, partly by his gifts as a preacher '!and his platferm-power as a controver- sialist, in relatio more particularly. 11,to the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, the young Scottish clergyman lsoon beau to take a leading position in the MetrorOlis, ittid. many of the nobility •pf Scotland, especially the Sunderland tfamily, became regular attendants upon t his ministratiens. Crown court Church, in short, was tilled, and remained filled Sfor many yeas. It was from the pul- 1 pit of this chareh that nearly all his volumes were preached in the form of sermons, ineluding his "Apocalyptic Sketches." "Daily Life," and "Voices of the Night." It may safelyd be said. that at the timen of the great exhibitio of Ds51 •there was no more popiilar preasher in Laudon than the Scotch ir-idlia-i.'r of Cr .wn-court. gam to brighten up and the hall, where the youth of the surrounding vicinity were going to spend the night was illuminated to its fullest capacity, not with gas, however, as it conld. not be collected quickly enough to light the rooni sufficiently, but with a number of good substantial lamps. About eight o'clock the gallants be- gan to asserable, and as they promenad- ed the streets, waiting for the stimmons of Rufas, many a repartee floated upon the night air. At last the orchestra was taken by one of the local Paganiuis and. the company assembled by the call of Trepsichore to On with the dance, let joy be unconfined, No sleep till 'morn, when youth and pleasure meet; To chase the glowing house with flying feet. • 'WHY IS IT THAT AULT & MCCLEAN SELL TEA. for 50c, EQUAL to Some of the other Tea Housee 60e Because they have no rent to pay, AND DO THEIR OWN WORK. CALL AND INSPECT. A LA.RhE CONSIGNMENT OF CROCKERY &GLASSWARE Just Received and opened out. This Presbytery raet at Goderich on Tuesday, the 13th, when a good deal of business was transacted. Much of the I THEY ARE STILL SELLING day was occupied with the ordination and induction, of Rev. J. A. Turnbull, 5 Pounds of TEA for $1 and 13 B. A. Mr. Turnbull was examined by the Presbytery in the forenoon, and gave entire satisfaction. In the after- • noou a large congregation met in the church, when Rev. De Ure presided, AN EARLY CALL IS REQUESTED, and Rev. A. D. McDonald preached a very able and suitable discourw from SO AS TO AVOID THE GREAT RUSH A VE DAILY, 2nd Corinthians, v. 20, 21, and. also address to the newly ordained minister, gave some practical hints in a.-apecial WHICH WE H and Rev'. Mr. Musgrave addressed the As we..wish to show onr customers through people. Mr. Turnbull received a hearty 017R IMMENSE STOCK of GOODS. welcome from the people at the door. The Rev. Mr. Glendinning, of Grand AULT & AlcCLEAN. Bend, acted as Moderator of Presbytery, and Rev. Mr. Thomson as Clerk, in the absence of Rev. Mr. McLean, who could not be present on account of a severe illness. The „congregations of Cavan Church, Exeter., petitioned the Presbytery to take steps to moderate in a call to a ministe , and asking a grant of $200 from th me mission fund. Messrs. Whitefo , Kirkpatrick and. Samwell, and 1ev. Mr. Thomson as Moderator of session, supported the petition. The Presbytery granted the prayer of the petition. Thereafter Mr. Thomson resigned the Moderatorship of the session, and Mr. Fletcher was appointed. in his stead, also to moderate in a call in Cavan. Church, Exeter, on Tuesday, October 18th, at 7 p. m. Rev. Mr. McCoy reported on behalf of the Sabbath School Committee reconamend - ing that a Convention be held during the sitting of the January 'meeting at Egmondville. The Presbytery agreed ti n in Thames • Pounds of Sugar for $1. But if yoiith, pleasure and innocence did meet, so did immorality, disgrace,. dishonor, and drunkenness, and in the still hours of midnight the blatant bacchanalians might be heard uttering forth their foul-mouthed oaths and curses until the very air became pes- tilential and the place unfit for any respectable person. I do not go ad far ak to say that there were no respectable persons there, although many will say that no respectable person will go to a dance, still I think that is too strong language, for I believe there were many respectable persons there that night; but I do say there were two distinct classes, and if there is not a distinction made and the respectable withdraw from the disrespectable the ap,yjs not far distant when the two classes will be blended •as well together as the Saxons and Normans of England, and when the moral standing of the com- munity will be down to low _water mark. Parties talk of the immorality of the land and of the young generatien, and yet they tolerate and nurse it ,from its infancy. You naturally ask, how? By allowing their children to patronize the "modern dance," wich is fast becom- ing the most disreputable pastime of the age. I am sure if any of the pa- rents had been present for a few mo- ments on the night in question they would have emphatically said "No more dancing for my daughter," still they will consent to let them go where, they will be subjected to the Vilest company and compelled to listen to the most disgraceful and scurrilous language that can be uttered by human beings. But you will say young people must have enjoyment. I say so too, but if young lathes cannot find some enjoyment without indulging in that which will strip them of their chastity, then their enjoyment .is bought at a terrible price. In conclusion I would say that if young people will go to dancing parties, it would be well if His oppL.:31ti:n to Roman Catholicism led to the once famous Ha.mnaersmith coutroverv, and brought Dr. Cumming into collision with Cardinal Wiseman and others; while so pronounced was he all his life in the strength of his Protestant cenvictions that he sent a letter to Pope Pius IX. offering to at- tend the (Ecumenical Council at Ratios) and debate in Latin with the assembled bishops some of their leading dognias. The Pope's reply, which was of course a -refusal, excited considera,ble aratise- to bold the onven o Road Church. Mr. Thomson asked that the finance report be delayed till next meeting of Presbytery, as he had not an opportunity of meeting the Committee. The Clerk was instructed to certify Messrs. Angus Robertson and William Hall- to the Kiwi College Board. Rev. Mr. Glendining resigned his charge of Grand Bend. The next regular meeting will be held in Willis' Church, Clinton, on the second Tuesday in November, at 11 a. m. • Faded Combs in Poultry. A correspondent of the Country Gen- tlenean says : "The comb is a sure index of the state of the fowl's health. The Spanish and Leghorn frequently have immense combs. I have seen cocks of both breeds where the comb from the base to the tip of the extreme point has stood fully three inches. In a symmet- rical bird -the wattAess-should be corres- pondingly long. The comb will not grow to full length unless well kept. These combs and wattles are filled with blood, and are of brilliant scarlet when in condition and perfect health. Any disarrangement of the internal organs is indicated immediately by the comb. At first it will become vermilion, then paler still, if the cause he not removed, until it is nearly blanched and becomes limp. It should be borne in mind„thow- ever, that the hen's combs are never so large when not in laying. \the cock the comb never fades epee attaining its fall color and th, unless out of order. There d never be undue haste in driving Wil3 to the block on the first ap- pearan of -faded comb. Many times the cause may be removed entirely. Where a thorough knowledge of the habitesan.d symptoms is possessed, some simple remedy applied. in time is of great benefit. Very suddenly this sum- mer my laying hens ceased dropping :the eggs, and showed faded, wilted combs. They were in confinement. • TJpon examination I found their perch- es gathering vermin. 1- immediately whiteWashed every crack and crevice, covering the whole, thus eradicating the enemy, gave them more air, and they soon recovered and corsimenced laying again.' Fowls not in health will not lay." afte gro shou the f £5! IN RETURN FOR A £5 NOTE A KEY ACTION LEVER WATCH, • —The Listowel. Banner says: On the day following the afternoon of the "great darkness," all the streams in this neighborhood' were found to be full of dead fish. In some of the creeks in the township of Wallace the dead fish were found in such abundance that the farmers tursred out and cleared the streams of them to prevent, infection from their decay. There ‘13 scarcely now a living fish to 'be fetind. It is supposed, that the alkaline showers that fell on the night of darkness was the cause of this wholesale destruction. —A few days ago a couple of men called on Mr. Thomas W. Annie, Huron Road, about two and a half Miles west of Mitchell, and sold him one hundred grindstone- connections for $150. Mr. Annis signed what was represented to him as an order, promising to pay for the articles on their delivery. It turned out, however, that it was a note Mr. Annis put his name to and the parties afterwards exchanged it for a buggy with Mr. Dow, of Mitchell, and then left for parts unknown. Mr. their parents would see if the party is Anuis ackno-wledges his signature, and going to be respectably conducted. will therefore have to pay the note. A TRAVELER. —The Surrogate in Buffalo are con- sidering the case of George Mello, who asks to have his will revoked. Mallo, about six years ago, suddenly disap- peared from his residence, and did not return until a year ago. During his absence his family, supposing him dead, divided up his estate according to the provisions of his will. He now wants to get back his property, and has taken proceedings to have the will set aside. —The remarkable veteran, Mr. John Graham, of Skermorlie Castle, though now upwards of 80, left home for his shooting -box in the far north a few days ago, and on the morning of the 12th was one of the earliest out On the moors. It may be questioned if there was another man in Scotland of the same age,equal to the work which Mr.' Graham got through on that day.
