On Friday last Mr. Joseph Sanderson,
of this Village, reached his 79th birth-
day, and the.family took advantage. of
the occasion to present him with one of
the famous Loudon Reclining and Ham-
mock chairs, for sale by Mr. J. R. Wit-
lienisrfirrniture dealer. The old gentle-
man, who by the way can boast of
having 40 living grand -children, highly
appreciated the gift.
On Tuesday morning last Mr. J. Ross
Robertson, Grand Master of the Masonic
Order in Canada, was being rapidly
driven along the 9th con., from Ford-
wich to address the Brethren of Wroxe-
ter Lodge. By some accident the
whiffietree broke, and the spirited horse
becoming fractious, the rig was upiet,

clung to the team,' after being
dragged, face downwards for nearly 100
yards, managed to stop the horses, then
went back and raised the Grand master
from his tomb. • Fortunately no one was
hurt,and by the kindness of aneighbOr-
ing faemerx fresh whiffietrees were pro-
vided -so _that Mr. Robertson stepped in
to the hall in WrOteter only 10 minutes
late. But there came very near being
a tremenduous Masonic funeral.

Mr." Hepinstall explained that the
Grange had partially failed in its objects,
not because of any fault in its platform,
but because the farmers had not rallied
to its support. He then invited the
meeting, in which were quite a number
of Patrons, to discuss the platform, clause
by clause.
Mr. T. Winters explained that it is
the intention to apply for a Dominion
charter 'shortly.
The discussion which followed was 'a
very interesting one, at times becoming
quite animated and those who spoke
showed that they had been thinking
deeply upon the subject. Short speeches
were made by Messrs Follis, Foster,
Bell, Johnston, Stewart, Drummond,
ardine, Winters, and others whose
names we could not learn, and Mr. Jas.
Mitchell, during the afternoon made a
lengthened; analytical speech on the
subject.
• The meeting was considered in every
way a successful one, and the delegates
showed the determination of the Grange
and the Patrons to leave no stone un-
turned in their efforts to better the con-
dition of the farmer and artizan.

and Rev. Mr. Wright in the same strain
and the- discussion was of much profit.
The session then closed for dinner.
In the afternoon , session, after the
opening exercises, Re -v. Mr, Davidson,
of Wroxeter, opened the first subject,
The position of the S. S. in the church,
in a well put argument showing that the
Sunday School was an important de-
partment; a valuable auxiliary of the
church. Messrs. Russel, Thos. MC -
Laughlin and others continued the sub-
ject bringing up some good points.
"The social influence of the S. S." was
ably handled by Mr. Hepinstall in a. 10 -
minute speech and Mr. Crittenden, Revs.
Stewart and Pring also gave brief ex-
pressions. The love of God in the heart
is the first source of right influence, the
officers and teachers wielded great in-
fluence and are under great responsibil-
ity.
Rev. C. E. Car- ter took up the subject
"child converts" reading an excellent
paper: He was followed by several
others.
Mr. L. A. Mason's subject "Order in
the school," was well handled. Punc-
tuality on the part of the officers and
teachers; all take part in the exercises
and secure the attention of scholars.
Do not allow the papers, etc., to be
distributed while class is at work, and
other advice which our space at this
late hour will not permit us to publish.
He was followed by Mr. Kerr, of Brussels,
who recommended sanctified common
sense as a good rule to govern the officers
in enforcing order. Messrs.Jas. Perkins,
Deachman and others followed- with
appropriate words.
The chairman's address followed.
Rev. Mr. Wright dwelt on the points
brought out in the various papers
discussed, after which a very substantial
collection was taken up.
Business matters occupied the time
from this point until the close of the
afternoon session. The minutes of the
preliminary meeting wore read and con-
firmed. A motion to hold a session in
Junewas, unfortunately, defeated, and
it was finally decided to hold the next
convention on the third Wednesday in
February, 1893, in Fordwich.
The following officers were elected:
President—Rev. T. A. Wright.
Vice-Pres.—The .local clergymen of
Fordwich.
Sp.-Treas.—P. Hepinstall.
Ex.-Com.—The Pres., Vice -Presidents
Superintendents of Fordwiih S. Ss, and

throughout the whole proceedings.
The gathering was then brought to

to much praise for the smooth manner
in which the proceedings were carried
out.

Mrs. Straith Taramison, late from
Formosa, China, delivered a lecture to a
full house in the McIntosh church on
Monday evening, Feb. 29th. Her dis-
course was on mission work among the
heathen; the trials, troubles and hard.
ships the missionarfes had to endure
while travelling from place to place to
preach to the heathen. She also spoke
of,the mode of travelling, saying she had
sat in a chair which was carried by two
men...and thus gone for many a mile.
She gave .a fine description of the coun-
try and the habits of the people in the
course ef her lecture, and showed many
relics- of that land. Her discourse was
interesting from .beginning to .end and
was closely listened -to.
