tioned, and states that the signature

equalled by any church in the
Dominion at one collection.
-The horses of. Wm. Elgin, one
of the oldest farmers in Nichol
township, took fright at the G.
T. station and ran away. Mr. and
Mrs, Elgie were in the democrat,
and both were violently thrown
out on the hard road. They were
at once taken to the General Iles
pital, I3oth ivere unconscious for
several hours, but tat latest reports
had regained consciousness and it is
now thought they may recover.
-Early the morning of Dec' 24 a
fire occurred at Forest City, Penn.
which destroyed the horse of•Mrs.
John. Priestly. 'rhe woman' and
her grandson were caught in the
flames and burned to death. Tho
woman was left $.3,000 four months
ago on the death of her husband,
and by some the fire is regarded as
being the means of covering a dark-
er crime, as she was believed to have
kept considerable sums about the
house. , .
-Fire broke out Christmas morn-
' ing in the anunonia works, corner of
Ring and Berkeley streets, Toronto.

dow sashes acrossi the street.

ed to extinguish the flames, and in

to live.
-The " Methodist Preachers'
Association, of (;olumbue, 0., have..;
adopted the following.: -"In view
of the elevation of a Christian man
to the Presidency, we do feel that
this is a fitting time for high. office
discounteuance to the tendencies in
certain quarters to ituitate the
follies, displays, pageantry and
extravagance of European courts.
We therefore respectfully protest
against the proposed expenditure of
nearly $100,000 for the purpose of
imitating the follies, corrupting the
simplicity of Republican principles,
encouraging the tendencies • to
extravagance and perpetuating relics
of barbarism by an inauguration
ball on the occasion of his inaugura-
tion."
-At the Western Methodist
-t;hurch. Toronto, Sunday morning
Rev. Dr. Stone read a statement
prepared by himself and Rev. 1)1',
Stafford concerning the late trouble.
Taking the antheu1ieated record of
the proceedings of the Board of
Trustees as tiro only testimony ad-
missible in the case, the writers
found that Rev. Mr. Jeffery's decla-
ration that the iuharmonions tela•
tions between lila trustees and him-
self were due to his insistence a•
gainst their wish that this church
should he Iegal1v transferred to the
Methodist body, was not substantia-
ted. .They fnrther stated the lan-
guage used by Mr. Jeffery in the
pulpit in relation to the finances,
whie,,h convoyed Inc idea that some-
thing dishonor,tltln has boon going
on, was inexcnsihle, and that their
personal examination with export
aid showed thein to be correct.

released frons jail, his wife having

the debt of the church, $4,2.50 was

$400 was afterwards added. making
a voluntary cash offering of $4.650,
without any solicitation except an
appeal by the pastor from the pulpit.

three hours, adopted a resolution
rev the admission into the Union of
Dal(ato, either as one or two States,
as the people of Dakato shall decide;
and for the admission of the States
of Washington, Montana and New
Mexico al -o. It• is proposed that
these States shall be admitted by one
hill. Utah, though not mentioned

mal could be controlled she caught
the wife of Rev. Dr. Stuart, of the
Baptist church, and tossed her into
the air. Mrs. Stuart fell heavily on
the frozen ground. striking on her
head and one shoulder. As soon as
she struck the ground the mad brute
dashed at her with her horns, but
fortunately missed' her victim.

knock the animal down, but was
unable to do so. Mr. R. J. Scutt,
principal of the Riding Academy
here, who was for years a cowboy in
the West, happened along on one of
his trained mustangs, with Amoricsn
saddle irnd general cowboy outfit ,and
lassoed the brute before any further
damage watt done. Mr. Scott's part
was very coolly and skilfully played,
as the brute was charging everything
that showed itself around. Mrs.
Stuart was conveyed to her home,
suffering Beverly.
- The Chicago Tinos has created
an immense sensation by its exposure
of the length to which malpractice is
carried on by doctors and midwives
in that city. A reporter of that paper

him.to many dactors anti midwives.
i15 rept, Rented himpelf as brother
of the girl and anxious to save the
family from exposure of the conse
quences of her misconduct. In some
cases the physicians refused to have
anything to do with the case. In
others they refused, but sent the
girl to other doctors, who, they said
would take the case. So far the
Times has published the names and
addresses of twenty two doctors and
midwives who agreed to undertake
the job, and of five who would not.

kidney disease, loss of appetite and
pain in the head until discouraged, i

and am happy to say I feel as well
ns'ever." Mrs. Rufus b;. Merry, New
Albany. N.S.

i ers would get about $2 a head Inc
for their hogs than 'they now do.

our farmers squeal unmercifully.
