Church Work.,
Holy communion at the morning
services in St Paul's church next
Sunday.
Rev Jae 4,ivingstone, of Listowell,
who had beeu attending a church

visit to see his old friends' here on
Monday last.
Rev Mr Stewart will preach anni-
vereary sermons for Rev Mr McMil-
lan, of Auburn, on Sunday next, and
the latter will supply Mr Stewart's
work here.
The Y. P. C. E. Society of Ontario
St. church, have issued a program of
their weekly services for the next
three months. It embraces some
good, practical subjects, the studying
of which cannot help but do good.
Rev W. Ayers, Holmesville, will
preach in Rattenbury St. church
on Sunday morning next, and in
Ontario St church in the evening.
The usual monthly fellowship meet-
ing will be held in both churches on
Sunday morning.
Rev D. M. Ramsay, of Londoaboro,
passed through here on Monday, on
his way to attend the installation of
the Rev R. Y. Thompson, as a new
professor in Knox College. Rev A.
Stewart, who is a member of the
University Senate, also intended to
go, but was unable to do so, owing to
illness.
At the recent meeting of the Lind-
say Presbytery, the following special
minutes, on the retirement of the
Rev Alexander Ross, M. A. of Wood-
ville, (who bas moved to Clinton)
was read and sustained, releasing Mr
Ross from the charge of Woodville.
The presbytery would desire to re-
cord their very.high appreciation of
his character and usefulness as a
minister of the gospel. They re-
cognize in his removal from
their midst that a blank has been
caused which is not easily filled,
and a loss ausiained that will for a
long time be felt in their delibera-
tions. His regular attendance, his
matured experience, hie varied
learning, his clear grasp of scripture
truth and exegetic theology, all tended
to make Mr Ross a tower of strength
to the presbytery. That restored
health and many years of usefulness
may be bestowed on their beloved
brother, is the earnest wish and
prayer of every member of this
court ; and especially that he and his
estimable partner in life may enjoy
the presence and consolation of the
holy Spirit, and finally obtain the
crown of glory that fadeth not away.
EFFECT.—For the past few days
Mr George Page has worn a broad
smile, and walked as though treading
ou air. CAUSE.—Mrs Page has re-
turned to town, after a two months'
visit to her former home in Detroit.
A NEW PUZZLE.—Here is a new
puzzle for people to rack their brains
over :—
• I1I111!
1 3 13 13
15 1 5 15
1- 7 1 7 1 7
1919191
The point is to add together any six
of the above figures and make the
total 21. They say it can be done,
but we would not like to vouch for it.
STILL ADDING HONORB.—Clinton
Collegiate is still keeping to the front.
Three additional names are to be put,
in the list of passed stude nts, Mr
Thomas Agnew, who is now a junior
matriculant, having passed at the
Supplemental held last week in
Toronto. Miss Henrietta Holmes,
who has in answer to her appeal
received a 1st C. non-professional
certificate and Master Edward Ha-
gan, who on appeal has obtained a
third class non-professional certifi-
cate. This makes now a total of
twenty-seven in all who have passed
at the several examinations. Of five
1st C's who wrote,four are passed, or
eighty per cent.
DEATR.—We are sorry to announce
the death of the eldest daughter of
Mr W. Foster, Toronto, aged 7 years,
7 months and 14 days,which occurred
from membranous croup, on Sunday.
Her remains were interred in Clinton
cemetery, on Wednesday. She had
only been ill a very short time, Mr
Foster being on his way to Port Ar-
thur whin she died. A touching in-
cident in connection with her sad
death, was the sympathy expressed
by the little children of Parkdale,
who came. bringing flowers to bedeck
the remains of their friend and school-
mate; unable, as they were, to under-
stand why their playmate slept so
long, yet the love in their hearts
prompted them to bring these offer-
ings of spmpathv, which were fully
appreciated by the sorrowing parents.
ACCIDENT.—We notice by a Van-
couver paper that a painful accident
occurred to an old gentleman named
R. Clarke, editor of the Vancouver
Evening Telegram, Mr Clarke, was
crossing the railway track on Powell
Street, and did not see, and, owing to
his deafness, could not hear the yard
engine coming along, and was struck
and knocked down, but luckily, and
on account of the prompt action of
the engine driver, was not run over;
when picked up he was suffering
greatly. Phe toes of the right foot
were crushed hopelessly, a large scalp II
wound had been received and the
arms and legs were bruised. He was
ordered to the hospital where it wag
found necessary to amputate the b'g
toe of the right foot. - Mr Clarke
was for some time connected with the
Brussels Post, and also with a paper
at Mitchell. The paper he is now
editing is conducted by W. 0. (lal-
lagher, formerly ot Clinton, and Ron-
in -law of Mrs Duncan_`
