DIPTITHERIA.—As there have recently
been several eases of diphtheria. in town
the following note from the Canadian
Lancet, a recognized medical euthority,
in reply to an enquiry by a eorrespon-
dent, is timely and to the -point. It
says : " It is not considered irecessary,
in. ordinary cases, for a mediCal practi-
tioner to change his clothing efter visit-
ing a case of diphtheria. Ciompetent
authorities deny that the disease is car-
ried in the clothes at all; thus Goodhart
(Diseases of Children) says : It is not
communicated to other claildren or pa-
tients in a building, or carried about in
clothing like measles or scarlatina."
His American editor, however, gives a
foot note to the above, in which he says:
Many authorities hold that diphtheria
iis contageous, in the ordinary sense of
the term." The question, therefore, as
to its being contageous, is an open one.
A HURON M I NIsTE Et ABROAD. —We
notice by the Vancouver, British col-
umbia., Herald., that the Presbyterian
congregations of Vancouver and North
Arne, formerly in charge of Rev. T. G.
Thomson, late of Brucefielcl, have been
constructed into two separate charges.
The congregation of Vancouver tender-
ed Mr. Thomson a unanimous call to
be their pestor, offering him a stipend
of $1,500 per annum. Mr. Thomson
accepted the call and was formally in-
ducted on the 20th of April. We are
glad, also, to notice that Mr. Thomson,
enters upon his new charge under the
most promising circumstances and with
the prospect of a large and prosperous
congregation in the immediate future.
In concluding its report of the induction
proceedings the Herald says : " Mr.
Thomson. has, by his genial, upright and
unassuming bearing, geined the respect
and confidence of the citizens of Van-
couver, and the people of New West-
,

THE BRoADFOOT & Box BY-LAW.—We
are pleased to notice that there is a strong
and growing feeline in town in favor of
the passage of the''Broa,dfoot & Box by-
law. But as a very large vete Is requir-
ed to carry it, -it is necessary that -the
rate -payers generally should thoroughly
understand the provisions of it, and the -
great benefit which the scheme will con-.
fer upon every interest in the town, and
consequently it would be well if those
desiring to see it • carried wotild interest
themselves in the matter, and secure for
it as largerai support as_ possible. We
understend that some slight misunder-
standing exists in the minds of Some as
to the number of workmen the firm will
employ, and the guarantee they give to
that effget. -We may state again that
Messrs. Broadfoot & Box agree to bincl
themselves to the corporation to employ
on an average from 80 to 100 work- ,
men annually, and when they fail to do
this, it will be competent for the town •
authorities th recall the loan, and if ne-
cessary to do so, to fore -close the mort-
gage. It is, therefore, an absolute cer-
taitity to the town, the employment of
this number of workmen, or • thereturn
of the loam. In order that any doubts
of this. character may be removed, we
would suggest that the Mayor call a
public meeting for the discussion of the
matter, soine time before the day ifor
'voting.
THE MECHANICS' INsTITUTE.--The an-
nual meeting of the membere of the Sea -
forth Mechanics' Instituter' woe held in
the Institute rooms on Tuesday evening
last. The attendance was small, but
the reports of the officers were of the
-most encouraging character. The officers
for the past year were re-elected. From
the Treasurer's report we learn that the
receipts for the year amounted to
$1,159.30 and , the disbursements to
$1,156:14. In addition to this the cell-
solidated debt of the Institute was re-
duced •by $100s and there is still in the
treasury a balance of $233.92. It will
thus be seen that financially the Institute
is in an excellent condition, and we ere
pleased to notice from the Secretary's
report that it is even more prosperous in
other respects., There are now in the
Library 3,076 volumes, of which 196
were added during the year and 34 dis-
carded as being worn out. There were
13,592 books issued during the year, and
these are claesified as follows : Biog-
rapy„. 720 ; Fiction, 6,723 ; History,
1,201 ; -Miscellaneous, 765 ; Periodicals,
901 ; Poetry and the Drama, 325 ; Re-
ligious Literature, 56tf; Science and
Art, 672, and Voyages end Travels;
1,725. It will be seen that FiCtion. still.
hold§ the sway by leirg iodds. On the
tables in the Reading Room there are , 4
illustrated papers, 2 dailies, 10 weeklies,
I semi-weekly, 3- monthly magazines,
and 4 reviews. The claws have been
successful and well attended. There
has been a drawing class, with 14 pupils,
and also a claas in Eng-Usher:id Canadian
History, Composition and G rammer,
Book-keeping, Arithmetic and. Writing,
with 20 pupils. Both classes were under
the direction of Mr. George Anderson,
end were. taught by him in the most
satisfactory mariner. The • Secretary
says " submitting -this, my twelfth

HEARD Fnoms—A friend in town has
received a letter frem Mr. Win. Sloan,
who left here for British Columbia. a
few weeks ago. Mr. Sloan has secured
a situation as traveler with a wholesale
cemmission firm in .Veictoria. He con-
siders himself lucky to get the positions,
as times in that town are very dull' and
situations scarce. Mr. Sloan also says
that for comfort in traveling he prefers
the Canadian Pacific Railway to any of
the American lines. He also thinks -it
would not be advisa.bIe for young men to
-visit Victoria with the hope of getting
zituations as clerks, book-keepers &ee
as the market is already over -stocked.

our former townsman, Mr. L. Thorne.
Mr. Thorne is still in Lcs Angelos,
California, and his old friends in this

is getting on well. He says : " I am

township school board has been organiz-
ed. The courteil have not yet taken
action, but as they have no option in the
matter, it is likely they will do so at
their next meeting. In order to repeal
the by-law, a majority of the rate -payers
in favor of repeal, muzt be recorded in
three wards. The matter is now creating
considerable discussion, but what the
result will be, it is difficult to say. If
the by-law is repealed there will be con-
siderable difficulty in re -arranging the
