were laid hefore the Presbytery. Mr.
Macpherson was asked if he would take
a lump turn of $1,500, And balance the
matter if the congregation were.disposed
to give him so much. He positively re-
fused to settle the (ideation on those
terms. He agreed, however, to accept
42,250. ThePresbytery reported the
same to the chairman of ! the committee,
and there the matter stands. Some pro-
fessedly- good people, even ministers,
value far mere the acquisition of a few
-dollars than the peace and harmony and
well being of the church to which they
mm
belong. Exaple here, as in ost
things, is much more powerful than pre-
cept.
—Mrs. an
Bensclaoten, of Newark,
New Jersey, who is well known through-
out this coantry as an eminent mission-
ary, has. been secured by the Women's
Missionary Society of the Methodist

ject: "Misaion Work and Workers."

present fully enjoyed the sport as one
would judge by the way the floor was
occupied with, light steppers, from eight
o'clock in the evening until approaching
daylight next morning.
—The Lietowel Banner of last week
says: The revival services in the Metho-
dist church have been somewhat inter-
fered with on account of- the political
excitement in the tcatn. On the whole,
they have been all that could be expect-
ed. Miss Dimedale preaches every even-
ing with great acceptance and profit.
Almeacly the good work of conversion
has comrneniced. The meetings will be
continued. -
—Some time ago if was suggested that
three Conservatives and three Reformers
of the Listo!wel Mock !Parliament hold
public meetings and discuss the various
political issues of the day. -The speak-
ers chosen to !defend their respective
parties!! were: Conservatives—Messrs.
W. E. Brya,ns, E. E. Harvey and Geo.
Harvey. Reformers—Messrse J. E.
Taylor, J. 11. McBa.in and R. EL Knox.
At theE irst meeting, which was held at
Atwood, ori Wednesday ev-ening, 16th
ult.,:the boys were well received by a
large and enthusiastic audience, num-
bering between two and three hundred,
the fair sex being well represented.
--The tea -meeting `held. in Milverton
on the 17th ult., was quite successfnh
Although Berrie of the speakers did not
arrive, the audience spent an amusing
and instructive evening. The reverend
gentlemen present were Mr. Aull, of
Palmerston ; Mr. Panton, of Stratford,
and Mr. Grant, of St. Marys. The Lis-
towel Knon church choir sang well.
Mr. Penton gave an elegant address on
"The "development of the intellect,"
which could not fail to produce lasting
effeets upon its hearers. Mr. Kay kept
the: audienee in a merry mood by his
hunaorous stories. The proceeds amount-
ed to about $80.
—A very pleasant evening was spent
at the residence of _Ittr. Joseph Roney,
2nd concession of Hibbert, on Wednes-
days the 16th ult., it being. the occasion
of ,the marriage of their caughter Lizzie
to Mr. Hugh Hamilton, of Motherwell.
About 80' eat down tot supper, guests
being preseot from St. Erhomas, Blyth,
Stratford, Ellice and 4otherwe1l. A
son of Mr, John Page, of Hamilton,
Dakota, formerly of Logan, was also
present. The ceremony was performed
by the Rey. Mr. GiIpireof Staffa. The
presents were both numerous and costly.
May long life and happiness attend
them.
