the re -organization • transeoted. The team
will enter the Huron league, which is com-
posed of Clinton, Goderich, Wingham and

A GOOD MAYOR. -The London
tieer says : "In the past London ha
many good mayors. It is safe to say,
ever, that this city never bad a mayo
secured the good wilt of -the citizens
ally and of those immediately asso
with him to a greater extent than has
Rumball during the past year. Mayor

striven for popularity, but by his str

He has not aimed at display, but, apparent-
ly, as each question came up for consider-
ation, has given it his best judgment; and
by his genial treatment of those around him
has had his views well supported." L The
Advertiser further suggests that he be lelect-
ed far a second term by acclamation, which
I will, no doubt, be done. Mayor RUmball
is an old Huron boy, which amply accounts
' for the many good qualities which ,make
him so popular and useful.

high level of the granolithic side walk con-
structed in front of her property, was re-
ceived. The council declined taking any ac-
tion in the matter. Th a tender of Mr. S.
Neely', for 25 cents per hour for snow plow-
ing, was accepted. The financial statement
of the peat year was submitted by the fin --
mice committee and adopted. This report -
shows that a balance of about $1,100 will be ,
carried forward on the -right sicle of thet
ledger for next year. After • some other
businees of minor importance the council
adjourned. •.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES. -The annivers-
ary services in the first Presbyterian
church; Seaforth, Were held on Sabbath
last. The services were conducted by Rev.
Professor Cavan, D. D., of Knox college,
Toronto, who preached two most able,
earnest, but simple sermons, to large con-
gregations. This is the first time Profeesor
Cavan has been in eaforth, aud we have no
doubt but many sere pleased to have this
opportunity of liste ing to one who occupies
so high and honored a position in the
church, and we are sure that all who heard,
him on Sunday will be very pleased to have
another opportunity of listening to him.
-The anniversary tea meeting was held on
Monday evening. The weather was favIer-
able, the rondo good and there Was _a large
turn out of both country and toWnepeople,
and all seemed to enjoy themselves. The
refreshments were in abundance and of the
best and the ladiee left nothing,to be de-
sired in this respect, while the literary and
musical feaet was qually attractive end
satisfying. The chair was occupied by -the
pastor, Rev. Mr. Larkin, and excellent
practical eiddreeses were delivered by Rev.
Mr. Russell, of the Methodist church ; Rev.
Mr. Shaw, of Egmondvillc, andRev. Mr.
Muegrave, of McKillop, •who is a prince
among tea meeting speakere, The Musical
part of the programme wae conepicuously
meritorious, and the choir, aei3isted by Mrs.
John Hogg and Miss McFaul, did themselves
special credit both on Sunday and Monday
evening, while the solos of Miss Grace, Me-
Faul, on Mondey evening, veere much and
deservedly admired. The occasion was a
most pleaeant, successful and profitable one,
and must have been as pleasing t� the
worthy pastor as ,it- wag reditable to all
who took part io it., The proceeds amhinet-;
ed to about $175.

A NEW PARISH PRIEST. -The Clinton
News -Record of last' week says : Rev.
-Father McMenamin, who about the first of
the New Year will take charge of the newly
organized Clinton parieh, is of Scotch -Irish
origin, his father being a native of Glitegow,
Scotland, and his mother of Donegan, Ire.
land. Rev. Father McMenamin was !born
in 1857 in the city of Montreal, where his
father is siiperintendent in Redpath's Sugar
refinery, and has been in the employ of that
firm for nearly 50 years. Rai. Father/Mc-
Menamin was educated in St. Mary's J6iuit
College, Montreal, and began his theologi-
cal studies in the Grand Seminary in the
same city, but completed them at the Grand
Seminary, at Sherbrooke, where h'e was or- I
damed in 1883. His first year in the
miniatry he spent in that diocese. , but °Wing 1
to failing health, he went to the diocese of
Halifax, where he labored with that energy
and zeal that has characterized his role
rninietry. Hth
is parish was upon e Atlan-
tic coast, was 64 miles long, and consisted
of four inissios and churches. The district '
was rough, rocky and exposed to the sterms
of the Atlantic, but Father McMenamin
went over it once a month, .and sometimes
two or three times. There was not a• kmile
of railway in the parish, so that he had to
drive over the whole field. He remained
there for 5 successful years, and until the •
arduous labors began to tell upon his health
when ho was transferred to the. LoOdon
diocese, where he has been for 11 years.
His first appointment was Maidstone pullet),
in Essex, and afterwards the town of Sim-
coe, where he remained for four years, and
until he was sent to Ridgetown. At the
latter place he erected a fine residence' end
organized a new parish, and after he had all
completed hiseesuperior requested him to
take charge of 8t. Augustine and the mis-
sions of Blyth and Wingham. That wee a
year and a half ago, and -during that time
Father McMenamin has beccme very popu-
lar with his people among whom he bas
since labored and they regret parting with
him, but he 119.8 been appoiz4ted to Clinton i
pariah to endertake the building of a a
palnehial residence. Hia previous under-
takings have been crowned with success,
and there is no 'doubt but that this 'one will
be, Imo.
