MR. CLARK'S LECTURE. — Rev W. 3.
Clark, of London, delivered his lecture in
the Pr abyterian church here, on Monday
evenin . The subject of the lecture was :
"With fire and sword in the Soudan."
Notwit etanding the cold weather there
was a 1 rge audience, and we are sure that
all felt ell repaid for coming out. The
chair w e occupied by Rev. Dr. McDonald.
On the latforen beside him were Rev. J.
W. H dgins, incumbent of St. Thomail
church • Rev. Mr. Russell, pastor of the
Method st church, and Rev. Mr. Shaw, pas-
tors ofE mondville church. The chairman
introdu d the lecturer in a few well chosen
and app inmate remarks. It would not be
possible in the apace at our diapered, to
give an thing like a report of the lecture,
and a m re summary would not do it justice
The lecturer commenced with the origin of
the trou les in the Soudan, and carried his
hearers tep by step through all the varying
and exciting scenes until they culminated in
the grea victory of Lord Kitchener a few
months 1 go. He gave a vivid picture of the
country, the people and the various chiefs
as they. itted upon the stage. It was, in-
deed, a most interesting and instructive
lecture, nd gave the people a better idea of
Soudan affairs and its people than much
reading «ould have done. There was much
infor.nat on condensed into little space and
it
was d livered in the easy, fluent, eloquent
style for which Mr. Cleric is famed. At the
conclusi n of the lecture, Mr. Shaw moved
a vote of thanks,' which was seconded by
Mr. Rue ell and Mr. Hodgine, each gentle.
man in turn corpplimenting Mr. Clark on
the excellence of his lecture. The ladies of
the Wo en's Christian Temperance Union,
tinder wi ose auspices it was delivered, 'have
reised th nice sum of $50, aftepaying
all expen ee. The emploees of th Broad -
foot & B x factory also contributed $8, and

, 1 ME C SE LOAN.—The Public meeting on
Friday ni ht last for the purpose of discuss-
ing the p °posed loan of $20,000 to T. R. F.
Case & Co , to enable them to enlarge and
otherwise extend their pork packing busi-
ness, was fairly well attended, coneidering
the bitter y cold night. Mayor Gunn oc-
eupied th chair, and briefly outlined the
propositio made to the town by Mr, Case.
For a loa • of $20,000 for twenty years, he
guarantee to organise a oompan with a
•
,11)
cap,ital of • 75,000. to erect buil ings and
plant valu .d at $35,000, with a eacity of
2,000 hogs a week, and employ ,t enty-five
a
men. Mr. D. D. Wilson went into the
matter mo e in detail. lie illustra ed clear-
ly that th pork packing industr is not
only a gro ing one, but profitable as well,
and that at ch an establishment ould un-
doubtedly Merease rather than iminish.
The manne of repaying the loan is such as
to bear lig test on the ratepayers. Mr.Case
agrees to r ise the sinking fund fr m year
to year, so that all the loari will cost the
ratepayers s the yearly interest hich, at
the presen low rate 01 interest, ill not
amount to ore than a mill en the dollar,
which is a mall matter whet we consider
the advent ges to be gained Rev J. W.
Hddgins a vocated the ad ption of the
scheme, pr. vided Mr. Case Parries out his
part of the greement. A sumber of per-
tinent quos ions were asked, vhioh elicited
mulch light in the subject. t the close of
the meetini the Mayor asked for a standing
vote on t e matter, whic was almoet
unanimous. As we have stat:d before, it iS
neceseary ti. t something be one to raise
the busines depression reatin on the town.
If we do no go ah'ead we are ertainly going
