ther officers done all in their :power to make
every person feel quite at home, and, judg-
ing from appearances, theyoincceeded most

a. point to keep THE ExObsrroa up td a,

EuarorrBVILLE NOTES. ---Our boys and
girls in this village have the; commou jus-en-
ile liking for a holiday, even though they do
get smoked out of school like coons out of a
log, This occurred. on Friday last, as the
fines had completely choked; from the use of
aoft coal. -Driving un parti. of Main street,
in this village, has been rendered very un-
comfortable this winter froth the number of
loose boulders lying around.. Yet this is the
condition of things in town and country, for
which people are paying hriavy taxes. -The
Rev. .N1r. Henderson's leeture will be On
" Rambles through Wondarland," and is
said to be very interesting by these who
have had the pleastne of listening to it. -At
a recent meeting ef Sabbath School workers
of our church, the following officers were
elected : Superintendent, Mr. D. Stevenson;
deputy, R. Hicks; Treasurer, Miss Jennie
ililis; Secretaries, Messrs., W. Hills and
W. Elliott ; Librarian, Mr. W. Elliott,
Sr.; „Aasistant, Mr. 8. Ferguson. -L -Jack
Frost has -been doing hea,ay- work for some
days, and the ice harvest is beginning to
promise, well, much to the .soinfort of those
needing a summer supply. The farmers
who awn the smith sheds , at the church,
would confer a favor on the:residents in the
vieinity by taking down or nailing up those
dilapidated doors, which �n windy nights
cause suet" a noise. In fac'
t the south side
would b much better closed in, as the
storms frequently come froin that quarter.
We la1i attention to the matter by request.
-We regret to nate the continued absence
fromour street of one af oils: most respect-
ed citizens, Mr. William McCaa,, who has
been confined to the house On account of ill
health most of the winter. --Miss McLellan,
of Hihhert, is spending it few days this
week with Mrs. 8. Carnochan, Sr. -Our po-
litical atmosphere is quite cool at present;
even the " Patron 's nomination in South
Huron did not cause a ripI4e.
CUR1sTIAN ENDEAVOR itiOCIETIES. The
following is a summary of the reports fur-
nished the Rural' Presbytery by the Chris-
tiau Endeavor societies *Min its bounds,
and was presented to , the Presbytery
at its last meeting by Rev.. Dr. McDonald,
the ( afeveuer of the committee appointed to
krof re the information : (1) The member
aei ive 'embers in all the Societies in the
Presbytery Of Huroa is 4.34, and of Associ-
ate tacinbers, 388, a total tit 822, besides a
large number -that attend the meetings but
are not el laaified under either head. (2)
ltfarry. of these Societied,are but recently
formed, mid have not engaged in any par-
ticular work, hut the fellosaing indicates the
lines of wsrk to which attention is directed,
namely, _Evangelistic work ; Sabbath School;
Prayer meetings Mission work; collecting

made. (3) There are 23 active members
who are not in full communion with the
diurch, arel 126 asseociate Members who are;
125 jc,ine 1 the church from these societies
during the past year. (4) .So far very few
seem to help the pastor in his work in seek-
ing out And introducing sttangers, or in vis-
iting the aged or sick; however, the major-
ity are preparing to work along these lines.
(5) There seems to be u deepening and
growing interest in the objets and aims of
the Society. (6) The eneasuraging features
of the work are, regularity Of attendance,
promptness in doing required work, and in
the increase of Bible study. (7) The die-
couragements mentioned are, the lack- of in-
terest and sympathy shown by the older
members of tim churah ; so many that are
members of the church found among the as-
sociate members, and the slowness, of scone
in coming forward to help. (8) There is
great uniformity in conducting the meetings,
most of them adhering to the regulations.,
The foliowing is a resolution unanimously
adopted by the Presbytery of Hisron after
considering the above - summary "The
Presbytery expresses its thankfulness for,
the number of encouraging facts brought out
in the reports from the different Societies,
indicating substantial progress. made during
the year; and that so many of our young
people are coming forward openly to confess
,Christ and work for him ; and express the
hope that they will not only increase in
numbers but in spiritual power and zeal in
the same line itt which they have been work-
ing, naanely, For,Christ and - His Church;
and the Presbytery would assure the young
people of its hearty sympathy and earnest
prayers."

A SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT. -The fol-
lowing are the particulars of a very sad
drowning accident, which occurred in the
Bay, at Toronto, on Saturday -last, The
unfortunate --young lady who met Mich an
• untimely death, was a daughter of M4 John
Forest, of Stanley, near Hills Green.She
was, also, a graduate of , the Seaforth Col-
legiate Institute. She was a bright, !clever
young lady, and was greatly beloved by all
who knew her. The many friends Of Mr.
Forest will extend to himself and family the
sincerest sympathy in this the hour of their
grief and bereavement. The remains were
taken home on Monday. The Toronto
Globe says: "A distressing accident' oc-
curred in Toronto Bay,off the Queen's
wharf, on Saturday afternoon, which re-
Sulted in the drowning of an estimable
young lady and the exceedingly narrow es-
cape of four other persolis. The imperilled
party conaprieed five Island residents,,who
were returning to their home after .a visit
to the city. Their boat was caught in the
loose ice floating in the western ellithnel and
crushed, letting. all the occupants into the
icy water... Four were rescued with extreme
difficulty, but -the fifth, Miss Sarah Forest,
teacher in the Centre Wand Public School,
'sank, after heroic efforts to save her had
been made by her companions. Her dead
body was only recovered' after an hour's
submersion. The deceased lady was about
25 years of age. Last summer,while cross-
ing to .the city from the Island 1111 a _small
boat, Miss Forrest was almost drowned, and
the accident which then occurred made her
exceedingly timid about eroseing, the Bay in
a row boat." The following is from the
Toronto Mail : ," About eleven o'cloi±. in
the forenoon a party of five started to cross
from the Island to the city. The party. was
composed of Mr. David Kimmings, park
keeper at the Centre Ishnd ; Mr. Wm:
Ham, caretaker of the Lakeside Home for
Little Children; Island. Constable Gray and
Mr8. Gray '- .and Miis Forrest, the teacher
at the Islandschool. They crossed at Han-
lan's point, and *reached the western break-
water by way of the sand -bar. They thee
took a skiff across the channel to the Queen's
wharf. At four o'clook in the afternoon
the party met at the Queen's wharf to re-
turn. 1 By this time there was quite a wind
blowing., and the sea. was carrying huge
cakes' of 'ice through the channel. When
the bOat containing the party was about
fifty yards from. the wharf . it was caught be-
tween two huge ice -floes, and the sides
stove in. In a moment the occupants were
struggling in the icy water, Clinging foridear
life to the floating ice and crying for help.
There was no one near, and it was fully five
minutes before M r. Fraser, a car checker on
the Grand Trunk Railway, heard the cries
and gave the alarm. A crowd soon gather-
ed, bat most unfortunately there were no
life -sea -nig appliances at hand to save those
struggling in the water. Boards and
scantlings were thrown out, but none of
them &add be reached by the unfortunates.
Every effort was made to save theni, but
time Was passing,. and the icy water was
rapidly benumbing their limbs. Miss For-
rest, who was • the weakest of the lot was
the first to let go and sink. About this time
a rope was tied. to a stone and thrown out,.
which. Mr. Gray fortunately managed to
catcla He suppOrted Mrs. Gray by holding
her cOat-coilar in his teeth until he tied the
rope 4ibout her.. Mr. Kimmines, who was
badly cut about the head with r'the ice, and
who was 'about to sink, was ,also tied
to the rope. By this means the Party. were
pulled to the shore. With the exception of
Mr. Kimmings, the rescued ones • 'were suf-
fering T only from the cold and. shock. He,
however, was completely exhausted, and it
took half an hour of hard work to resuscitate
S He Was then removed. to his home at
No. 25, Buchanan street, and the remainder
were ,soon provided; with warm clothing and
hot drinks. A search was made for the
body:, of Miss Forrest, and it Was found
about an hour after the sad accident, ,and
was taken to the morgue. Later on it was
