A, BAD SPRAIN. — On Saturday
evening, as the wife of Mr James
Connell, of Goderich township, was
.driving home from town, the rig she
was in collided with the Commercial
bus, when near the station. She was
thrown over, and sustained a severe
sprain of the left wrist.
Boo-woRe.—The Bug -woks will

room of the Rattenbury St. Methodist
church. on Friday evening. All

mitted free, and any one may become

them to this entertainment and all
privileges of- the Society; and its
weekly meetings.
A COLD Dir. -- Sunday evening,
-7while'Mr James Young was Pete-Midg`
— Trete TZili esboto, to 1 -covered -buggy,
his horse struck a heavy snow -drift,
which caused the buggy a complete
upset, the wheels revolving in the
air. The horse showed a disposition
to act ugly, but Mr Young turned it
into the 'deep snow, and what might
otherwise have been a bad accident
was averted.
DR JEKYLL Al)NMa HYDE. --One
of the most interesting books ever
written was one by the above name,
and on its first appearance created a
great sensation. It has been now
dramatized and will be presented to-
night (Friday), by .the McDowell
Company, one of the best organiza-
tions on the road. The press notices
are'very flattering and there will, no
doubt be a large house.
ARMLESS, IIUT NOT HELPLESS. --
There is a bootblack in the New York
city hall who is quite a curiosity. He
has one arm off below the elbow and
wears a wooden limb strapped tightly
to the stump. To this wooden arm
is fastened a brush, and he uses it as
ardently as the ope held in.the hand
he has remaining.—Exchange. • [For
a number of years a married lady re-
sided in Clinton who had but one
arm, the other being a short stub
about five inches long. She was able,
nevertheless, to knit, sew, and do
almost anything necessitating the
one of two arms; and 3n it as expertly
as if, both members were complete.
She is now a resident of&ianitoba.
DEATHS.—The death of Mr Henry
I'orter on Friday last, wad a surprise
to post people, though his illness was
generally known, as few thought his
end so near. He was a young man
and had been a resident of the town
for about fifteen years, and was a
brother o1' Mre J. Biddlecombe, being
generally esteemed ; much sympathy
is manifested for his widow,who with
three children, is left to Lace the
world. On Friday the wife of Mr W,
H. Hine passed away at the age of
77 years. She has resided here for a
long time, being a resident of Strat•
ford before they settled here. Her
health has not been the best for some
time back, although she hasgenerally
been able to attend to her household
duties. She was a member: of the
Episcopal church.

MATTERS THAI' NEED AME'.D-
KENT,—At the town council meeting,
on Monday evening, Deputy -Reeve
Manning, called attention .to two
matters that require notice. One of
these was remitting dog taxes, and
the other wasremitting taxes on va-
cant premises. Every year the coun-
cil has been appealed to for the re-
mission of taxes on dogs that had
died or been spirited away after they
had been put upon the assessment
roll, and the members of the council
very properly concurred in the idea
of Mr Manning, that a dog once as-
sesed, should be taxed, and the taxes
collected and kept in every case,
We hope the by-law committee, to
whom the matter was referred, will
make a law so comprehensive that
there will be no such thing as escap-
ing its provisions, and persons who
own doge will be wise in looking out
for this. The remission of taxes on
unoccupied buildings is a little more
difficult to deal with, from the fact
-that the. Statutes provides that a man
owning a building which may be un-
occupied•for a specific time,can apply
to the town for a remission of taxes,
such remission, however,to be subject
to any by-law that the town may see
fit to pass. The by-law must make
provision for some remission,however
email. Another matter that the
council should deal with is one to
which reference has been made before,
but which did not come up at the
meeting of the board, is the collection
of taxers. While we believe it costs
less t I collect them here than in most
other towns around, same other
method should be adopted than that
at present in vogue, Taxes are sup-
posed to be due on the let of Oct,,but
it is no uncommon thing for the roll
to be extended until the end of De-'
bomber or later. Now, we hold that
A man paying his taxes on the 1st of
Oct., is entitled to more consideration
an the one who pays them on the
st of Dec. A distinction of some
kind should be made.

Rev E. Teskey, Methodist minister
of Owen Sound, died on Friday last,

somewhere in the Goderich District,
at one time.' '
The Methodists of Lietowell have
extended a call to Rev. G. H.Cobble-
dick, of Galt, to become their pastor
next June. As this gentleman (a
former Huronite)was only transferred
to Galt last year, it is not likely that
the Listowell people will secure him.
Concerning the temperance lecture
of Rev J. Livingstone, in Goderich,
last week, the Signal says :—" The
rev. gentleman deliyered an address
of about forty minutes' duration,
which was replete with sound judg-
ment, deep thought and eloquence,
and carried the entire audience with
it."
DISTRICT MEETING. — A special
meeting of the Methodist ministers
of the Goderich District was held in
Clinton, on Wednesday last, when
arrangements were ..spade for pushing
the College Federation Scheme. The
amount to be raised by this district
is $3,900, of which $2,600 has been
provided for.
The Fullerton District •of the
Methodist church, which is under
direction of our old friend, Rev Jas.
Caswell, held their Missionary ser-
vices last week, which were a great
success in every particular. They
raised more money this year than
they ever raised in any previous years
for missionary purposes. -
The Guelph Conference last year
refused, by a majority of two, to en-
force the law of the Methodist disci-
pline as interpreted by the Court of'
Appeal. • The meaning of 'Oa-Flaw-in-
volved
h-law in=
volved in the case came to the Guelph
Conference for proper enforcement
but the action of the Conference led
the Rev E. S. Rupert, the former ap-
-pellant, to appeal against it; -and -the'
General Superintendent, on the 18th
inst., sustained the point taken. This
means the case returns to the Guelph
Conference for action.
A Stratford paper says :—There
seems to have been an unusual amount
of "the unexpected"on Sunday in the
Methodist churches. ' The organist at
the Central became a little confused
and 'it is said that the Rev Dr himself
was, unnerved in making some an-
nouncements. At the Waterloo -street
church, Rev Mr Smythe undertook
to reprove the choir for some seereing
misbehafior. The upshot was that
tbey were "indisposed" at night and
could not take part in the exercises,
at least they didn't.
1 The sacrament of the Lord's Supper
1 was dispensed in Willis Church on
Sabbath last, the Rev. Mr Stewart
conducting the services, which were
of a solemn and impressive character.
There were added to the church 29
new members, 21 of whom united on
profession of faith in Christ. There
were 196 members of the church who
partook of the sacrament. The Rev.'
Mr McMillan, of Manchester, very
acceptably conducted the preparatory
services on Friday evening and Sat-
urday morning.
The congregation of Willis Church
intend celebrating the fourth anni-
versary of the opening of their church
on the first Sabbath of February, at
which the Rev. G. M. Milligan, of
Toronto, will preach, morning and
evening. The annual entertainment
will be held on the Monday evening
followine, when the Rev.Mr.Milligan
will deliver a lecture on a subject
that will be snbsequently announced.
The teachers and officers of the Sab-
bath School have decided to give a
free social to the scholars on the even-
ing of Tuesday' following the annual
tea meeting, for which an interesting
programme is being prepared.
S. S. CONVENTION.• -It is expected
that the coming Sabbath School Con-
vention, to be held in Clinton, on
the 29th and 30th inst., will be one
of the most interesting of the many
profitable sessions held. Mr Thos.
Jackson, jr., will drill the young pec•
ple of the Sunday Schools in town in
singing for the convention, in the
basement of the Prusbyteriaa church,
on Friday afternoon, at 4 p. m. All
the children and young people of
town are invited to attend. The
children will sing on the second day
of the Convention, in the afternoon
in the town hall ; it will no doubt be
a pleasing part of the programme, as
they will be addressed by some good
speakers. The•billetting committees
of the different churches should can-
vass their churches, and re'ort to Mr
A. Burchell as soon as possible, so
that homes may be secured for dele-
gates.
BAI'TIS'I' TEA IIEET1N(:.— There
was a large attendance at the Baptist
tea meeting, on Monday evening.
Supper was served in • the Council
Chamber, and those who participated
therein found an abundant supply of
choice eatables, which were served
with attentive and courteous waiters.
The intellectual part of the evening's
entertainment was held in the town I We
hall, Mr Hill, of the Collegiate In-
stitute, being in the chair, and mak- i
ing a ,few introductory remarks,
Thoughtful addresses were delivered
by Revs J. Smith and Jos. Edge,
(ltev Mr Stewart being unable to at-
tend, owing to illness), and a reading
by Rev Mr Craig. Miss Stork pre-
sided at the organ, Rev Mr 'Smith
whiles to return the thanks of his
people to the many friends.outside of
the Baptist church, who lent such
material assistance in making the
affair a success. The total receipts
amounted to $75.
The Clinton correspondent of the
Wingham Times, (a student at the
Collegiate Institute), thus refers to
the latest addition to the staff:—Mr
Hill,,the new Specialist in Science,
has been accepted by the students as
a first class gentleman and good
teacher.
A highly -respectable resident of
town was passing alor.g Albert SL,on
Sunday evening, when some youths
thought to guy him, and also shied
some ahow halls at him, at close gnat-
tors. After he had vigorously slapped
the face of one of the parties,the boy,
were glad to sneak off.
