back nd the animal became frightened and
turtle' q iekly, throwing its rider to the

bore hearing his incessant cries for help,
ruebed to his assistance and soon extricated

The recent thaw caused quite a flood in
this neighborhoott—Messra. James Boyce
and Peter Cameron, while cutting wood,
were ' prevented from reaching their camp
at nights through the swelling up ' of the
creek, and consequently had to seek shelter
in a neighboringfarm house. While in an-
other instance, the good lady of the house
in the neighborhood had to navigate about
the odllan in an empty barrel, and fish out
the necessaries of life.—Mr. William Mc-
Millan h e moved into his new house.
ANNIVIISRSARY SERVICES, —The annivers-
ary servies were held in Turner's church on

R.. Hobbs, of London; who preached inter-
esting and elo ,i aent sermons, and was list/
ened to with he greatest' attention , by the
large audien es. The usnal tea -meeting
was dispensed with this year, and fine Mon-
day 'evening Rev. Mr. Hobbs delivered a
lectuke on " The Triangular Man." The
lecture was a whole entertainment in itself,
but unfortun teiy the very wet and die -
agreeable weather prevented many from
being reeent Special music was also. furn-
ished y . Mri and Mrs. W. H. Willis and
Mies N. Beattie, of Seaforth. It wee only
the 'eather ¶hich prevented the geries of
meet op fron being one ot the most linceess-
fel in the hist1ory of the church. As% was,

ings in a mea ure made up for the disap-
pointment of the Monday evening meeting.
