THE RESCUE Wona.-The lady offi•
cers in charge of the _Rescue Home for
_girls, in Stratford, under the auspices
of the Salvation Army, addressed a
meeting in the.barracks here Mat Friday
•eveaing. There was not a very large
_audience present, but those who heard
the ladies were greatly impressed with
their words of wisdom and warning and
advice to young men and women. These
lady officers are engaged in a most
humane work; it is a most arduous and
often discouraging work also, requiring
almost illimitable patience and persever-
ance, but they seem to have the quali-
ties- necessary to make the work a suc-
cess, and should be encouraged by all
philanthropic people.
ELECTION RETURNS. - The Young
Liberals of this town, with commend-
able enterprise, have made arrangements
with the Great Northwestern Telegraph
•Company, through their - agent here,
Mr. Wm. Somerville, for full and com-
plete returns of the elections 'throughout
the Dominion on Thursday, March 5th.
In order to accommodate the large num-
ber who will likely be present on this
occasion, on account of the great interest
that is being taken by the people in the
result of this important contest, they
have, engaged Cardno's Hall, so as to
obviate the necessity of overcrowding,
which a smaller place too often entaile,
Med where the returns will be published
as received. The gallery has been re.
served for the ladies, who will be ad-
mitted free, but all others will he
charged an admission fee of , ten cents,
in order to help defray expenses. The
doors will be open at half -past 7 o'clock,
and all will be made welcome.
TIM EMMA WELLS COMPANY. -The
Emma- Wells Comedy Company, who
beim been playing in Cardno's Hail this
week, under the auspices of the , town
band, have been greeted by fairly good
audiences each evening. The company
is a good one and our citizens should
corm: out and enjoy an evening's enter-
tainment. The band are also deserving
of encouragement and all who attend will
assist them. Miss Wells.the four -voiced
vocalist, has a supurb voice and sings in
four distinct, voices. Her articulation is
also most distinct, so that those in the
rear of the hall can understand her ren-
dering with the same ease as those on the
front benches. This,of itself,is a rarity
among vocalists. She is well worth go-
ing to hear. The other members of the
company are equally good and they give
an entire change of programme each
evening. They will play Friday, Sat-
urday and Monday evenings.
ANOTHER BREA% IN THE RANKS.-'
‘T 0 mentioned lase week the death of
Mr, James Gilrnonr; of Stanley, one of
the worthy and nonored pioneers of
Huron. The following additional par-
ticulars concerning him will be of inter-
est to our readers : The deceased was
the son of John Gilmour, a native of
Lenfrewshire, Scotland, and was born
at the 'village of Neilston, in that
county, on April 5th, 1795. His father
was a master weaver, and the subject'of
our sketch spent u. part of his boyhood
iti that occupation, but his tastes in-_
el lig him to country life he left that
trade when he grew to manhood, and
smelt the remainder of his stay in his
native land on the farm. About tlle
year 1819 he left his native place and
end vsatad to America. He settled in
tu township of Ranisay,Lanark county,
Outario, where he partly cleared a farm
of one hundred acres. In the year 1822
he married Ann Cherry, and they con-
tinued to live on the farm till the year

COUNCIL DOINGS. At a recent meet-
ing held on Monde evening, a petition
was received from t e hotel keepers and
liquor dealers askii] that on account of
dull Vines and scar My of money the li-
cense fee be reduce'by $45. The fol-
lowing resolution theieanent was unani-
mously adopted : • hat the petition be;
received, but in the present state of the
town's finances the Council do not see
their way clear to re ake the desired re-
duction, as any red ction made in li-
censes will require a equivalent amount'
to be levied on, some other interest less
able to bear the a ount. It was also,
moved that the u ers of the electric'
lighte be- allowed a reduction for the
past full year to th following prices:
For the first are iigJ t in use, 10 cents; '
for the second in in ,i8 cents, and three
cents per light for incandescent lights.
It was moved in a endment Jthat the
price for the first la p be 12 cents and
for additional lamps used 10c., and 4c.
for each incaUdesceirt light. The amend-
ment was carried. notice of motion
was given to amnd the by-law fixo
ing the rates to be aid by the users of.
the electric lights in the future. A'
resolution waa pass d tte reengage the
present engineer nd ;electrician tem--
porarily, or by th Month, until the
Council get settled ith the Ball Com-
pany, at the same r tee of 'salary as they
now enjoy. The C uncil then adjourn-
ed to meet again at the call of the
Mayor.

. THE LATE MRSJ, CARNOCHAN. - Mrs.
Samuel J. Carnochan, ot Tuckerernith,
died at her, residence on the 2nd ,con-
cession, on _ Thursday ot last week, at
the early age of 41 years. Her maiden
name was Margaret E. Scott. She wee
the second daughter of James Scott,
Esq., of Roxboro, McKillop. Her hus-
band died about ten years ago, they
having been married only ie very short
time.. Shehae not been in robust health
for about five yeas, but Was only con-
fined to bed for about two weeke. Con-
sumption was the cause of death. Un-
like many victims of that disease, she
had no severe suffering, and in the end
passed away as quietly as if going to
sleep. She -leaved one bright little boy;
about ten years oflage. She was a kind,
amiable and christian lady,and although
, surrounded by every comfort and lux-
ury that ample means _allow, she was
perfectly resigned to thin' will of Him
whom she had loved and faithfully
served for many years. Her death is a
sad bereavement to a large -circle of
relatives and friends. Thremains
were laid in the 1grnondville cemetery,
beside those of ler late husband, on
Saturday last.

" CONGREGATION/ ... MEETING. -The a-
.Iri
nual congregational meeting of the First
Presbyterian church, Seaforth, was held
on Monday evehing last. Notwith-
standing the wet and illsagreeable
weather there waS a good (attendance,
and all seemed totake a deep interest
in the proceedinge. The first, half hour
was taken upley a song service by the
choir, and several very pleasing musical
seleetions were rendered, at the conclua-
ion of which buiiness was proceeded
with, Mr. L. L. AI cFaul being appointed
chairman, and Mr. John Fairley, Secre-
tary. The reports from the varioos
schemes and committees howed every
department of the church work to be pro-
gressing and in a satisfactory conditiop.
The ordinary receipts of the congrega-
tion for the year amounted to $2,977.
There was also raised for the Church
schemes other ,than foreign missions,
$449; by the Women's Foreign Mission-
ary Society, $252, and by the Sabbath
School $200. . The total contributions
for the year foam all congregational
sources amounteidito $3,878. It was de-
cided to engage an assistant for the pas-
tor for the ooming six months. An
effort is to be ramie to secure the ser-
vices of Mr. J. W. McMillan, who gave
such admirable satisfaction last year,
and if he is not available then two or
three students will be heard with the
view of making a selection.
HONORING A CANADIAN. -The gentle-
man referred to in the following des-
patch from Montreal, is a prominent
barrister of that city, and is a brother
of Mrs. Robert Coleman, of this town:
"Mr. D. E. Bowie, advocate, is the
winner of the first cup given by Mr.
James Gordon Bennett to encourage
American college foot racing. He was
living in Paris recently, and while there
went into the athletic world quite ex-
tensively. He introduced lacrosse as a
game into the National League of
Physical Education, an association sub
sidized by the French government to
train up young men to athletic aports.
Mr. Bowie wag told by Mr. Pascal
Groussett, President of the league, ithat
he had only revived the 'game, that it
had been French first, was taken by
Montcalm to Canada and was adopted
by the Indians of North America and
lost to France until revived, by Mr.
Bowie. The league sends Mr. Bowie a
diploma on parchment containing its
'arms and the insignia of the republic,
and also a handsome silver medal more
than twice the size of an ordinary racing
medal. It is richly chased-, and has on
one side the head of the Goddess of
Liberty, and on the other side the in-,
acription of presentation."
ANNIVERSARY MEETING. - The anni-
versary meeting of the Young Men's
Christian Association was held in Card -
no's halt on Friday evening last. The
meeting was a most successful one, and
was very encouraging to all interested
in this Association. The hall' was well
filled, a large proportion of the audience
being young men. Suitable music was
furniahed by the Methodist church
choir, and, short and interesting- ad-
dresses were delivered by Mr. W. M.
Gray and Revds. Cassonand Hodgins.
The chair was occupied' by Mr. T. 0.
Kemp, the energetic President of
Association, who filled that position in a
most pleasing manner. The speaker of
the evening was Mr. Stapleton Calde-
cott, of Toronto, ex -President; of the
Toronto Association. Mr. Caldecott is
a pleasant, fluent and interesting speak-
er, and explained fully the work done
by the Young Men's Christian Associa-
tion, and the good work Yet to be done
by it. The Association in this town
has been in a very depressed condition
foresome time past, but is now looking
up and has bright prospects for the fu-
ture. All the Christians of the town
should aid in this good -work, and en-
courage those gentlemen who have so
faithfully kept] it going when things
were anything but encouraging, The
Sunday morning Bibie Class, conducted
every Sunday morning in the rooms of
the Association, at half past nine, by
some of the members, is very, interest-
ing and instructive. All are welcome,
and any who attend will feel amply re-
paid for their trouble. The rooms are
also open every Wednesday evening,
when all youag men are cordially wel-
come to come up and enjoy an evening
at the various games to be found there.

The best effort ma e was et Wingharn,

we are pleased to say, somewhat better.
-A large number n this section have

and is adcompenie by severe pains in
the limbs and viol nt pains in the bead,

Miss J. Coats,J Miss Lottie Du das, N1- s
Bella Davidson and Misa Annie Mc-
Pherson. Although a great niimber are
pretty close ffste when dealing with
matters of thia kin1, the colleetors haae
been very successfu . -Consid erable pain,
coufusion and ioss have resulted through
the collapse of sor4te who have been en-
gaged in farmiag. Farmers at all times
should know how theiraffaire atand,and
have no eartbly excuse for allowing
their business to get into such a terrible
muddle, and we think the time has ar-
rived when such acts should come under
the heading of criminal. There are
some ready to make the excuse that a
great many have done the same before.
Those who use this subterfuge in behalf
of their friends who have been guilty of
any vile, false or dishonest conduct arc
as lacking in principle as the actual
transgressor.
