TUE Gummi Conraamma last year refused, by a majority of two, to enforce the law of the Methodist discipline as interpreted by the Court of Appeal. The meaning of the law involved 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 appellant, 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 notion. SERIOUS AcoIDENT.-Reeve Me - Murchie after returning ho . e last Sabbath evening from church passed through the dining room into the kitchen. There was no lamp in the kitchen and he went to got a drink in the pantry. The door leading to the cellar is immediately alongside that leading to the pantry. Mr Mc Murchie unfortunately opened the cellar door by mistake and stepped into the cellar, alighting on the upper portion of his side and backupon a box. It is feared that ho sustained internal injury of a serious nature. Being a heavy man and'precipitated in such an unex- pected manner, without the least opportunity of breaking the force of the fall, one can readily imagine that hie injuries may be of a grave nature. We anxiously hope that further developments will allay any fears of permanent injury. L10EN9E (itaiMISIONER STEVENS who injured biro t1f somewhat' a abort time ago is nut dilly recovered yet.

A HAPPY OCCASION. -Last Wed- nesday evening a considerable num- ber of the immediate friend: of the parties most interested assembled at the residence of Mr. 1I. W. Cook, town, to witness and, so far as may be, take part iu a very pleasing ceremony -the marriage of Miss. Bella Brown of Toronto, to Mr. Peter Cantelon, of the firm of Can - baton Bros., grocers. Rev. Jas. Livingstone, of the Rattenbury street Methodist Church, with the delicacy and affability that preeminently mark the conduct of the Rev. gen- tleman, firmly tied the knot- This part over a very nice repast was served up and the company wade merry for a time and when depart- ing wished Mrs. and Mr. Cantelon the choicest of blessings upon the union effected under such happy auspices. Tho profusion of presents which the bride received were of so markedly chaste and appropriate a character as to reflect infinite credit upon the good taste of her numer- ous friends, and would impress one with a very high sense of the ap- preciation iu which the fair bride is held by them. The NEWS -RECORD cannot refrain from adding its quota of good wishes fur Mrs. and Mr. Cantelon; and may ' their lives be like the steadfast sun, or streams that deepen as they run. - \VAS Roun1E BURNS A • Goon MAN? -We clip the following in, reference to Dr. Campbell's Land of Burns from a recent issue of the sihe;l:-A correspondent wrote askiug Rev. Dr. Wild if the pont "Robert Burns was really a good man 1" The rev. doctor from the pulpit yesterday evening, said : "1 atn not a Scotchmau, and my correspoudent ought to have asked some other Scotchnian, but I aro fond of Bobbie •Burns. I suppose it is owing to my own erratic mauuer, but whether or not I like Byron and Barus. No mau knew his own faults or wrote of there more freely than Burns, and if you want to know the best that can be said for Bobbie buy Dr. Campbell's, of Seaforth, book, which puts the whole matter fairly and honestly before the public." We add the following on the purities of Burns from a lecture recently given by the Rev. John Glasse, minister of old Greyfriars church, Edinburgh : "He was not, however, always per- fectly sincere in his statement of his opinions. Ho did nut commit himself to any form of government. 'By conviction he was a Republican, but he had never any atrong desire to overturn the monarchy in his own country. Other reform's en- gaged attention. With all his long- ing for progress ho sate the necessity for order. The mob was never, aacor(11ng to Burns, those without votes and sometimes without food, but the nntbinking and unselfish nletubers of every class, who only 'respected the -law so far as it favor- ed themselves. It must always be. the work of the reformer to subor dinate private interests to public welfare: The prosperity of the country demanded, at least in this sense that the mob should 'never be set aboon the throne.' The fault of the ordin.try j olitici,,f .was that he became a partisan ; that ho was either all for the Government or all for thio people ; that ho went for law and forgot liberty ; that he bowed to order and turned his back on progress. It must not be so. The latter progress was far more important than the former. Order simply existed for the sake of progress, law to secure liberty. It was almost a desecration to fix a label on the politics of Robert Burns. He (the lecturer) would say, however, that Burns was a Democrat by conviction, and a Socialist by sentiment. In saying so, he desired to use the terms in their widest acceptation, for 110rus could never be accused of claiming for party what was intended for mankind, Sehooi :-: Books 2 School_Supipies.

PERSONAL REGRETS. -We are much pained to hear of the death at Goderich on Monday, of Mrs. Black, relict of the hate Matthew Black,aged over 70 years. Deceased was one of the most kind hearted persons possible; and fie our Mr. Whitely from his prattling (lays of infancy has known her, and as for the first decade of his existeuce the street only separated the domiciles of the' two faurilies,we will be par- doned for saying that we know whereof we speak. For fifty years that we know of Mrs. Black has resided in Goderich and we venture 10 say that during all that time no one has been able to justly say au unkind word of her. In days long ago when ntoutuiug was iu the the household, when cruel fate deprived the writer of his natural guardians, when the mother was deprived of the breadwinner of the family, and again \vhuu the or- phaned family was deprived of that mother, who with a bigger heart felt for their woes, and who by many little acts of kindness dill more to assuage the eternal grief of the stricken ones than Mrs Black. No one. And even now, with the incrustations of fifty years to 1 arden our heart it is not impervious to the softening recollections of the kind- ness of one whom the white winged messenger has so recently heralded to the great beyond.

THE MCKIL I.OP INSURANCE COM- PANY. -The annual meeting of the members of the McKillop Mutual Fire Iusurauce Cotnpauy was hold iu the town hell, Seaforth, on Fri• day last. There was a fair attend- ance. The annual report was read and edoptod. From this report we learn` that there are now 1,504 policies in force, covering an insur• auce of $2,251,450. Tho amount of the premium notes now held is $58,- 529,61. During the past year there were 360 new policies taken out covering an insurance sf $482,275. It will thus be seen that the com- pany is snaking satisfactory progress. the assessments collected during -the year amounted to $3,256 and the losses paid amounted to $1,319.80. There was also paid during the year $1,000 horrowed last year. The ac- count for the year was closed with a balance -of $260,48 in the treasury. The assests of the company amount to $59,072.59 while . there are no liabilities. The only change made in the Board of Directors was the election of Mr. James Evans of Mc- Killop, in place of Mr. John Beattie, and of Mr. G.

Taylor, a farmer in 1Jullett about two miles south of here, had his bent, containing a largo quantity of grain and implements besides thirty-three head of cattle and six horsos,consumed by fire. It appears that Mr. Taylor had been attending a sick horse during the night and having occasion to go to the house discovered his barn on fire. It is supposed that the lantern exploded causing the destruction. He only managed to get a couple of colts out safe. We understand that there is only a small insurance ou the building thus entailing a heavy loss on him. - On sabbath afternoon the members of Cort Morning Star No. 89, C.O.

The Rev. gentleman chose for his text St. Matthew, 6 Chap., 25 verse, frorn which lie delivered a for- cible and eloquent discourse and was eagerly listened to by the large congregation present. The large and excellent choir under their lettder and orgauist Mrs Whitt sung some hymns- suitable., for theoccas- ion, which seemed to afford the con- gregation present Hutch pleasure.
