A CURIOUS ACCIDENT. —A strange af- fair occurred here on the 19th inst. ifight cows and steers belonging to Mr.; John Mills, of the 3rd concession of ;West Vtrawanosh, went down to the riVer to water, when it is supposed that they be- came frightened. by a dog, and ran:1 own : a steep bank into the river, on whi h at the time there was a quantity of -13token ice and on this they wart in two heaps. When found next morning all bi.# one were dead, the 8th died about ten I min - 'fates after reaching the barn yard. ' Mr. mills has the sympathy of the neighbor- hood. Some of the cows were valuiable. Mr. Mill's son came nearly getting &owned in attempting to get the Stock 4:ait of the ice cold river. ' Cirarsratas TREE—The annual Clit fist- mas tree in connection with the English church of this viIlago was hele. on Christmas eve. Rev. Mr. Parker pre- siding, and acting as Santa Claus. A nice little sum for Sabbath school 'pur- poses was realized, and the youngsters thoroughly enjoyed themselves. ' The entertainment was held in the town hall. TEA MEETING.—The annual' tea meet- ing, in connection with the Meth dist church Sabbath school, was held on Christmas night. Tea was served i the Temperance Hall, the musical and #ter- ary entertainment was held in the church, the chair was taken by the es- ; teemed Sabbath school Superintendent, who filled the position with ease and ;dignity, and to the satisfaction of all. ;The speaker of the evening was the Rev. Mr. Kestle of Benmiller circuit, the on - ;I), fault found was that it was too 'short. The Rev. E. II. West of Ailsa :Craig, gave a humorous reading entitled !" Sewing on a button." Miss Allary Jane Anderson gave an excellent reci- tation, subject "The lips that tauch iwine shall never touch mine." The choir of the church rendered good irusic assisted by Miss Ida Ha.rrison w ose ;abilitiee as a singer and reader uee4 no comment. The usual votes of thanks were passed and the cheering news an- nounced that the sum of fifty five dollars had been realized through the tea meet- ing, which elicited general approval. ' CHURCH CHIMES—The pastor Rev. John Turner preached on Christman morning on "God's Christmas gift,• Isiah II. 6."—The service in the Eng- lish church was welt attended in the evening.—The children's tea meeting was held in the Temperance hall on Monday, the 27th inst. The musical part was held in the church presided over by Mr. Samuel Marshall, the Church was filled, more money realized, and all were satisfied and went home happy. —The annual election of officers takes place on Tuesday evenings—A watch night service will be held on New Years Eve., in the Methodist church, commencing at 1G30. Mr. John Wash- ington and Mr. Henry Malley assi ted by the pastor will deliver adclr sses suitable to the occasion. , ; Oharitable Ladies in Ne-ssr York. Much that glorifies humanity rises to —the surface of this frosty holiday time. To the ragged waifs who swarrn on our streets seltincs papers and blacking boots, the name of 'Astor is that of an angel of mercy. Mrs. J. J. Astor never forgets the newsboys and the bootblacks on any holiday in the year. If the newstioys and bootblacks can help her she will have a much easier time getting past St. Peter than a camel would have in get- ting through the eye of a needle. And the Vanderbilts one and all bear the poor in kindly remembrance; great wealth has not stifled humanity in their hearts, and there are thousands in this winter holiday time.who have reason to bless their abundant fortune. An a.,fngel id light whose pathway in life is one long benediction, is the widow of the dead merchant prince, Horace B. Clafliu. When the Lamb's Book of Life is unfolded many a page -will be found filled with the blessed charities of this gracious lady. And in addition to these there are thousands of unnamed saints whose lives are long unbroken blessings to the poor. In the general benisim it is a satisfaction to know that feW, if any, are forgotten. Even the thiefialid the harlot fretting behind prison Walls find human sympathy has not abanon- ed them, and on this November horday rejoice in the general bounty. For Ithis thankseiving and praise.—Broaclbri a sr Pool and Fool. An industrious young shoemaker fell into the habit of spending much time in &saloon near by. One by one his cus-, thmers began to desert him. When his wife remonstrated with him for so neg- lecting his work for the saloon,ehe weuld carelessly reply: "Oh, I've just been down a little while playing pool." His little two-year-old caught the refrain, = and. would often ask, " Is you goin' down to play.fool, papa ?" Smith tried in vain to correct this word. The child persisted in its own pronunciation, e.nel day by day he accosted his father With "Has you been playin'• fool, papa ?" This made a deep impression on Ithe shoemaker, as he realized the quesiion was being answered in the falling of Of his customers and the growing wants of his household. He resolved again 4nd again to quit the pool table, but weakly allowed the passion of play to hold him a long time. Filially he found hiMself ot.i.t of work, out of money and out of flour. Sitting on his bench one after - nom idle and despondent, he was heard to exclaim, "No work again to-daY— what I am going to do I don't knoW " Why, papa," prattled the child, " can't you run down and play fool some more ?" s" Oh, hush; you poor child," groaned his father, shame - stricken. That's just the' trouble. Papa has played fool too much a.lready." But be never played it again, and his home is comfortable and happy Once more. —Thorold Post. Stick to It. If a man is in a calling he has -no apti- tude f or and makes no headway in, the best thing he can do is to step down and out, and get into something his natural abil- ities are better suited to. This is dan- gerous advice, if taken in a certain way, for it seems to encourage the rolling stones to keep on rolling, and never stop long enough to gather moss in any place. We do not say this. Whatwe do say is that it is useless for a man to try to be a musician without an ear for melody, or to be a painter when he is color blind; he cannot be an engineer if he is heed- less, careless and without an aptitude for mechanical matters, and under these circumstances attention to such calling ing is time thrown away. Qf all other things a young man just starting out in: he race for for une and fame should do 't with all hia miA fin out what he i tends to do, and then ght. one -idea ma is sometimesreviled, but he is a L Id big,..er man every rivay if his one -idea is goid,-than the man of manysideas a ma y aims, who fritters his efforts away in •hundred different 'directions with- out reaching anything positive or cer- tai . "Everything by turns and noth- ing long" is what makes the jack-of-all- tra es, aud Jack gets inigt(ty poor wa es, scant"consicleration and, lo social ries tion or respect frein his n ighbors, in lair experience. The future of this cou 4 try lies in its young men, and ac- cor ling as their aims- are 'cor •ect and the r efforts are well directed will be the result. The individual man is not loo izig out for the future of the country so uch as he is for his own, nd the bes way to insure this is to find his best hol and never let go. No mat er what hap sens, let our ambitious your g friend stic to his calling, and it will tick to him.Any honest industry, humble tho gh it may be, will bring h ndeame ret rns to those who follow it, i intelli- , gen ly prosecuted.—Milling En ineer. •1 News Notes.
