Cold as Sunday was, the Presbyter- ian Sunday school had more than an average attendance. not so with the evening service, absentees missed a treat, Mr Hartley was in good voice and took the lesson and text from the eleventh of Hebrews, the picture gallery of the Hebrew worthies. A word painter such as becoFaith u looking forward, and p down through the centuries, Faith looking backward. Billeting the Huron con- tingent oI the Sunday School Army 1 is a trump card this morning. A Union meeting of the two female branches of temperance workers was held at the residence of Mies Maggie Holmes, Monday, when it was re- solved not to go into winter quarters but to start a vigorous winter cam- paign. It would be spring in a mine - prematurely, were any hints commit- ted to paper. The Rev A. T. Hart- ley presides at a musical and literary entertainment in his own church, Bluevale on hallow -eve; no doubt, the young folk after such a treat will go home quietly instead of—well least said is soonest mended; their parents need to duck for apples and rich—childish now doubt, but inno• cent at least. Mr Melardy, of Bel- more,apent Monday night here, he left for Brantford Sunday School conven- tion on Tuesday; his daughter, after a well earned vacation, will resume her professional duties in a few days.

Mr Duncan ;McDonald, of Montana, returned to ;his home this week, after a visit to ; his old home and aged mother. WEDDING.—The pleasant side of life is made up of social events that not only enlist one's affections, but have in themselves elements that do not exist in the ordinary stern affairs of every day life, One of these very pleasant social events occurred on Wednesday afternoon of last week, pat the home of Mr W. Keys, when his only daughter Ella R. was unit- ed in marriage with Mr W. Peebles, Aye of Minto township. Mr Walk- er, Methodist minister, performed the ceremony. The groom was support- ed by; Mr Geo. Graham, of Melvin, Mich., and the bride by her cousin, Miss Bella Keys. assisted by Miss Minnie Clark. A number of hand- s, some presents testified to the esteem in which the bride is held. After a sumptuous dinner, the party drove to Brucefield, and from there pro• needed to Belleville, and other east- ern points, via Wingham, before settling down to the duties of life. The bride was one of the moat popu- lar young ladies in Stanley, and therefore has the good, wishes of all. It is said that a number more wed- dings will take place in the neighbor- hood of Varna, before long. Exeter. SEVERELY BURNED.—On Saturday last a misfortune of a painful nature happened to Mrs^ Wm. Daw. It ap- pears Mr Wm Pipers was about to de some varnishing at the premieee of Mr'Geo Smallacombe and had ;placed a varnish pot full of varnish ,on the stove to warm, and Mrs Daw, seeing it was getting too hot, went to move it and when doing so the bottom •.dropped off, allowing the varnish to run all over the top of the stove and on her dress which in an instant took fire, and before the flames could be extinguished she was bably burned. °Mx Pipers' hands were badly burned iu trying to free her from her terrible 'predicament.

Mr John Sparrow has just moved into his beautiful residence. This is indeed alovely edifice, being of the latest architectural design, the build- ing is built of brick with a elate roof and presents a stately appearance. We hope that he and his estimable lady may be long spared to enjoy its comforts.. Messrs McConnell and Foster babe also moved into their new bouses. A very interesting and instructive debate took place in the R. S. of Temperance on Tuesday evening of last week, the subject of debate was "Resolved that wood is more useful than iron." The affirmative was captained by Mise Addie Armstrong and the negative by Mr Edward Wanless. After a number of brilliant and weighty speeches were delivered by the supporters of both sides the decision was given in favor of the affirmative. Special meetings are being con- ducted on the Goshen line in the Methodist church just now by the Misses Hall; they purpose remain- ing in that vicinity a few weeks, after which they intend holding similar meetings in Varna. These ladye evangelists are doing good work in awakening a deep sense of religious conviction in those who are fortunate enough to bear them. Truth from their lips prevail with double sway, and fools who come to scoff remain to pray. East Wawanosh. -NoTEe.—Mrs G. S.

Stanley entertained his gang of apple packers to an oyster supper, on Saturday evening last. While Mr Thos. Wal- ter, of the Huron road, was attending the special services one evening last week, some miscreant stole his whip, and supplied him with one almost useless; it is hoped such characters will be detected and punished; the trustees are already on the lookout. Rev W. Ayers preached in Seaforth on Sabbath last. Mr Thos. Moore, of Brussels, who has been visiting his Meter, Mrs T. Murch, has returned. NerE.—We have a letter taking exception to a couple of items that appeared under this heading last week. We can understand the writer feeling offended at what was intended as a joke, and which would perhaps have been as well omitted, but we withhold the letter, for the simple reason that we think, on refection, the writer would not care to see it in print, for, instead of filling a breach, it would only widen a gap, where good feeling should .always prevail. Of course, if the writer in- sists on it being published, we will insert it, but we think he will agree with us, that it is more prudent not to do so.—ED. Naw ERA.

Bickle, of Toronto, paid a short visit to friends here. The Dungannon merchants, includ- ing the baker, have agreed to close their shops at eight o'clock -p.m., we think this a good idea, but would sgggest post -lamps instead of the electric light, to light up the town; Dungannon is going ahead, the new act to come into force the let of November. Brum efield; NOTES—The friends of Mr V Diehl are glad to see him once more in their midst.

Joseph Stonehouse has purchased a house and lot from R. Sterling, late- ly occupied' by Mrs Nixon. It would be well if authorities of thin place would have a constable and see if it would not put a atop to the quarrelling and disturbance on the streets.

Mr McMillan preached very able eermona, both morning and evening, to large con- gregations. A brother of Rev A. Thibadeau filled the pulpit of the Methodist church, last Sabbath, as the reverend gentleman is suffering from an attack of inflammation of the lunge. We are pleased to state that he is rapidly recovering. Mr Dan Wilson has moved. into the house belonging to Dr Stanbnry, and lately occupied by Mre John Pollock, who has taken the cottage vacated by Mr David Hays. Dan is becoming an active citizen, and will probably yet aepire to the office of chief magistrate. .` The friends and acquaintances of Mise Nellie Morrison, who was well known in ibis neighborhood, will learn with deep regret of her death on Friday last, at her home in Hen- sall. She 'was bprn and lived here most of her life, having first attended and then taught in the village school. Although her death was not entirely unexpected, still it came as a severe blow to all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was held in high esteem, either as pupil, teacher or companion. Mr Morrison, with his wife and the remainder of the family, will return here early in the spring, when he will resume store- keeping in the old stand. Last Thursday morning, at about half -past eight, our citizens were alarmed by the call of "fire," and soon :discovered that the old factory belonging to Mr Thos. Cameron, was the scene of the excitement. As the factory was quite close to Mr Came- ron's dwelling, it was with some diffi- culty that the fiery tongues were kept from extending their ravages. The wind carried the live cinders over the barn and stacks belonging to Mr King, which at one time took fire, but were saved by one of the many willing helpers who were on hand. The lois of the old building is nothing in comparison with loss by Mr Came- ron, to a considerable extent, of the food and fodder for the coming win- ter. It was the storehouse, where all the vegetables and grain was kept. The origin of the fire is unknown, though it is supposed to have been accidental. Paramount. NOTES.—Mr John Davis left for the Michigan lumber woods last week. Mr and Mrs John Cook, of Wiarton, are at present visiting in this section.

Mr McDonald, of Ash• field, performed the ceremony, and 'after partaking of a plentiful repast the evening was spent in dancing; we wish them all joy on their journey through life. We regret being call- ed upon to record the death of John L. Carr, who who died at his home in Huron County Mich., after a short illness of three weeks; deceased was a resident of this place up to last spring when he moved to Michigan; he was well known and highly respected, and his death caused much regret; the be- reaved widow and family have our most sincere sympathy. On Monday the 12th inst in Plumfleld, 'Mich., Mrs Jane Richards, relect of the late Jacob 'Richards, died alter a short illness ot a few days from inflamation of the lungs; deceased had lived in this neighborhood for years until very lately, and was much beloved by her intimate friend and highly re- spected by all her acquaintances; her remains were brought to the Hope eemete y where she. was Iain by the side of her husband.

This was the nal match of the western association series, which was won by the Rangers, thus taking away from our boys the mpionship they have held since ason. accident, which was evidently the immediate cause of death. She was a daughter of the late Thos Wiggin- ton. NoTEe:—Mics Izzard, eldest Baugh. ter cf Mr Joseph Izzard, who has been ailing for some time, ie stili quite sick. On Tueaday Mr W. Per• due threshed for Mr J. Stewart, on tbe Stanebouae farm, the product of 60 acres of oats in 7i hours.

Mr James Laith- waite was the one who should have been credited with it. This colt was. sired by Gallant Graeme, grand sire, the famous Topeman. It was 2 years old last May, and weighs 1630. A SCARE—On Wednesday evening, as Mr T Wigginton was going along the road opposite the bush on his fa- ther's farm, he heard what he sup- posed to be the screech of a wild cat. Not caring to tackle it alone, be pro- cured a rifle and the assistance of the neighbors. It was dusk, but seeing in the tree what they took to be the cat, a fire was lighted, and after con- siderable speculation, fear and anxie- ty, they found that the object they were watching was a knot. The cat, meantime, escaped. TEA MEETING. — The tea meeting which took place on the 27th inet., at Cole's appointment, was a grand suc- cess, although the weather proved very unfavorable. After the good things had passed round the chair was taken by Mr J. Beacom. The choir was in attendance and rendered some fine music. Speeches were giv- en by the Rev. Mr Walker and sev eral others. On the following even- ing a social was given in which Mr Cook gave a very able speech on the opposite sex, and the choir furnished the music.

Mr Collie is a very active and esteemed member of the mystic order. Mr Wm. Carnochan, teamster for Mr D. D. Wilson, met with a very painful accident on Friday last. Se far as we can learn the following are the particulars. He, with others, were loading egg boxes on the dray at the station, about the time a train from the west was due,which frighten- ed the horses attached to the dray, when they started to run away, in making a sudden turn ,upset the dray with its load, Mr Carnochan being in some way mixed up, the load had the misfortune to fall on him, and he received a very severe fracture of one of his legs below the knee, which will lay him up for some time.

OF COURSE IT I5 The theory that the American people desire to injure Canada is pure fiction —Canada Presbyterian. How IT WOULD AFFECT WINNIPEG We are fully convinced that free trade with the United States would double all land values in this city and throughout the Province in two years.—Winnipeg Tribune. BEST FOR THE FARMERS It is certain that with free trade the farmers would be a great deal more prosperous than under a tariff which compels them to pay heavy subeidles for the support of the manu- facturers, and for maintaining itt power the Conservative Government, which is dependent upon the money subscribed by the manufacturers to carry the elections against the farm- ers' votes.—Montreal Witness. Londesboro. NoTEe.—Rev J. Ferguson was i Godericb on Monday, arranging wit Miss Williams about commencmen of meetings here, she will commenc the first week in December, a four daya' meeting being held the wee before.

Worth pondering over. Mr Ritchie. a Belleville dry goods dealer, gives utterance to the follow, ing sentiments that at least merit consideration:— I believe that the great mistake with our people is that they have allowed their eyes to be blinded to the moral principles involved in this question of protection or free trade. The Government has no right to pass laws to benefit me at the expense of others, any more than I would have a right to take directly what is not mine. It was by insisting upon moral principle that Cobden reached the heart of the British people and caused them to rise and demand the repeal of the Corn Laws. The new McKinley tariff is defended on grounds of expediency, but it is a grossly immoral act and is simply a legal measure for wholesale robbery of the people. That is the beat rea- son against it, but there must be this reason also, that the new tariff cannot benefit the people of the United States; on the contrary, it must do them a great deal•of harm. The fact; that it injures Canadians does r}ct prove by any means that it will belie - fit Americans. It will undoubtedly do our people very serious narm, and by reducing the purchasing power of the people, it will, indirectly, iujure our business. The only remedy is free trade. I AM FOR FREE TRADE AND DIRECT TAXATION. When the abolition of customs duties is advocated, the cry at once goes up, 'that will lead to direct taxation,' as though that were an evil tote dread- ed. The great advantage of free trade Is that properly understood and thoroughly carried out there can be no other means whereby to raise the necessary revenue except by direct taxation. This system in force, the people would know exactly what they were paying for government, and if extravagance or mtsappropri• ation of the public funds were carried on, the outcry against it would be more prompt and more decided than it is now, when the producing claee- es are humbugged into believing that by some fiscal legerdemain the taxes are taken out of some other fund than the wealth brought forth by labor."
