TO BA TFIEL O. —A dispatch from Guelp , dated January '14th, says : "0. .R. o cials have been here this week looki g eve matters with a view to extend- ing t eir li e from here to Goderich. in ac- cord nee w'th the promise of Sir William Van 1 orne o the people of this city when hey constr eted the Campbellville branch. It is curren ly reported that C. P. R. people have not b en warmly received at Goderich in this mat er, and Guelph people are dis-- pose to or dit this report." If Goderichis so ti htly e snared by the Grand Trunk that it dare not accept the overtures of a rival we w uld say for the information, of air° ncern d that Bayfield _is only eiefew mile south of Goderteh and • is as near Guel h as Goderich is. It now has an ex- ceilei t harbor, which,esvith a very trifling. expe diture, could be made the -beet and safes on the lake, and almost equal to Fort William or Chicago for safety and cony nience. An easy crossing of the Gra d Trunk could be made at Seaforth, and n this way the C. P. R. °mild form an exce lent route for either through or local traffic. What say you. gentlemen of Guelph and fficials of the C. P. R. Here is a eche n e worthy of your best consideration. P ESETTERT o FIDRON".—The Presbytery of II von was held in Clinton on Tuesday. The irethren present recorded their setts- facti n at seeing the moderator, Mr. Flet her, again among them, after the stove e illness through which he has passed, and e -elected him to preside for the ensu- ing s x months. The session records of the following congeegations were examined and attested, yiz.. Exeter, etc., Brucefield Sea - forth Clinton,'Hensall, Blyth, Hullett, etc., Tha ea Road, Grand Bend, etc. McKillop, etc., and Goderich. Reports on state of re- ligio and Sabbath schools were delayed till n xt meeting. The remits on the " Ex- amin tion of students," and the "Constitu- tion f Assembly," were disposed of. With rega d to the latter it was agreed to recom- men that the representation in the supreme cour consist of one-sixth instead of one- fourt of the members on the roll, as in the past. The chief reasons advanced for this redu tion in -the number of commissioners and e difficiay of providing homes for so ‘semenos..... large a number during the meeting of Ai- sembly, and the expenses of travelling, et . Rev. W. Muir, of Brucefield, tendered th resignation of his pastoral charge. Regr t was expressed at the necessity of this ata toeing taken by Mr. Muir, in considerin the harmony which has always preveile between Mr. Muir and his people, and the r warm attachment to him, The resignatio will be disposed of at next meeting.

The contributions of the last year were tlio highest of any year of, reported. The total contributions, including mission band, was $1,676. A resolution which has net comato hand, in regard to receiving the re- port, --and expressing the Presbytery's hearty gratification with the great and good work of, the society, was recorded, on motion Of Mr. J. S. Henderson, duly seconded. The next meeting of Presbytery is to be held in Clinton, on the 14th of March, at 10.30 a. m. 1 1 • _ A SUCCESSFUL BREEDER.—Mr. Char4to Aetzell, of this town'has proved himself to be a breeder of Sootoh collie dogs of the first rank. At the recent bench show held in Peterboro, Mr. Aetzell exhibited one of his dogs, " Snow." This dog took second place in the young class, in competition with thirty other dorm. In the open class "Snow" carried off third money. Such a record is indeed an enviable one when it is known the class of doge which Mr. Aitzel had to compete against. One of the animals shown against his dog was recently eold in Scotland for $2,500. Mr. Aetzell is to :be congrei ulated on his success and we trnst that atithe next show he will come out ahead if them all. • RUN WAY. -e-Dr. Scott's spirited little team ponies mode a lively runaway on Wedn sday. Dr. McKay was returning from drive in the country with them and when pposite the carding mill the bolt on one si e, attaching the pole to the cutter, came out. This allowed the cutter to ewer" from side to side, and prevented the driver from having proper control over his team. The little chaps were not slow -to take a vantage of the situation and ran like deeri. The doctor stuck pluckily to the lines uitil the railway track was reached, when the cutter was upset and he was thrown out. The ponies being thus left to themeelvesonade up Main street at as live- ly a pace as they could, and turning at :the Royal hotel corner pursued their way heme. On turning in the gateway at Dr. Scott'sresi- dence'the Cutter upset and struck against the gete-post, but the ponies did not pull up until they got into their own stable. The cutter was somewhat broken and one of the ponies scratched about the lege, but other- wise there was no damage done. • EGMONDVILLE NDTES.—Mr. Thomas Daly has sold his farm to Mr. H. Colbert, for a good price, and, a it joins Mr. Colbert's farm, on the east, it will be very convenient for him. Mr. Daly still holds his comfort- able residence for sale.—Mrs. John Mo- Larty, of Missouri'is spending a few days with her sieter-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Rills. —Mr. Jacob Schmidt has been suffering for Several weeks with a very sore leg, thought to be iease of blood -poisoning, but one day last week the true cause developed itself, when a needle and thread were pulled out of the wound. How they got there is a mystery, which will perhaps never be solved. Mr. Schmidt is doing nicely, and, we trul, will soon be all right again.—The anniver ary services of our church will be celebrated on the 2Oth of January, when Rev. Alex. Grant, of St. - Marys, will preach St 11 a. m., and 7 p. m. On the fol- lowing Monday evening Rev. Mr. Grant, who is recognized as one of the choicest platform speakers who visits the churches of Huron Presbytery, will deliver one of his interesting lectures. The neighboring min- isters will also deliver short addresses, which will be interspersed wiil choice se- lections of music. A pleasant and success- ful time is anticipated. • .

This week we record tio demise of two who have well passed the 4llotted three core and ten; two who have not reached that point, and one in the very prime of his manhood. —Another ofiluron's worthy pioneers, in the perdon of Mr. James Duriei of the 5th oncession, of McKillop, passed away full • f years, on- Sunday last. Durie had eached the unusual age of 88 TLyears and 6 oaths. He was a man of re arkably ro- ast constitution, and searcelf ever knew • hat sickness was and retainedl the full pas- ession of all hie faculties until near the est. He was one of 'the first residents of he township, and made for himself and amily a comfortable home out of a denee orest. He was industrious and honorable; warm friend, a kind neighbor, and in Very respect a most worthy citizen. He as a great reader, and was thoroughlY onversant with the current public questions f the del, and took an active and intelli- ent interest in foreign as well as domestic olitical issues. He Was an enthusiastic iberal in politica and a Presbyterian in re- igion. He leaves a family all grown to aturity, and was • at least a great -grand - ether. —Mrs. Patrick Logan, whose illness we ave noticed recently, was relieved from his life's pains and troubles on Friday last, er latter hours being so peaceful that the assage from time to eternity was scarcely lace:liable to those who were watching by er bed -side. Mrs. Logan had reached early 82 years of age.

Mr. Govenlcnch hs been a patient sufferer for overar, nd had been confined to bed for s ve a nothe, and his disease was of a natu e t0 leave no hope for recovery.

He was nearly 69 yoars of age at the time of his death, being t e youngest ofthree brothers, Thoina,s : Roliert and Andrew. He had the natural ehar&cteristios of his family, being induetri us, $rsevering, energetic and en- terprising. Bkit, like many of his kind, he did move for hi. ceuntry and the public, in a pec1niaiy sense, than for himself. He became poeeoseed of large tracts of land in the tow shins ot MoKillop and Grey, and for rnan yearswas extensively engaged in the lumbering,milling and mercantile bus-' inclines, and tho Winthrop mills were for many ye rs popularly known, far and wide.
