LNseNNE.:-+On Monday afternoon
Constable Wheatley received a tele-'
gram to be on the lookout for a.
young man named McKenzie, from
Kincardine township, who had stray-
ed away from home, being out pf his
mind. The young man had hired a
.tig at Wingham and drove down
this direction, and Wheatley, learn-
ing that he had gone on to Bruce -
Geld, went down and secured him.
He was brought here Monday night,
and placed in safe keeping, and
'taken to hie friends the next day.
A 'VERY UNDIGNIFIED ASSEMBLY
-Any one who had occasion to at-
tend the,County Council, while it
was in sssion, would hardly think
that he had got into the right place,
r for some of the members sit around
'in all kinds of 'undignified attitudes,
a good many of them smoke while
'bueinets is under way, and the entire
=absence of any thing like order would -
not; create a very favorable impress ion am the visitor. The County
-Council ehonld turn over a new leaf,
and paste it, so that it will stay "turn-
edover."
Nov So. -The statement of the
'1'Vingham correspondent of the God-
•erich.�Sigasal,that "a good house:is ob-
tainable in Clinton for $2.50 per
]month apwarde" is simply untrue, .
And further, there are very few rent-
able•houses to be had here. The Sig-
nal correspondent swings just as -vert
sati]e a pen as he didwhen correspond-
ing for the NEW ERA, but he certain-
ly should not believe every yarn he
hears, which is told concerning a
sister town, particularly when there
is an air of probability about such.-
[The correspondent has since written
here apologizing for the item in ques-
tion, but he should make the apology
just as public as be did the mislead-
ing item. -En NEW ERs.]

NAREow ESCAPE -At St Thomas,
last week,as the London & Port Stan-
ley passenger train was crossing Tal-
bot street, an accident happened
which', in nine cases out of ten, would
have resulted in the terrible death of
from one to three persons. Mr•Will
Southcombe, and wife, of Clinton,
went to that city by train, on their
way to Sparta, tovisit friends. Ar-
thur Clark drove to the city to meet
them; and all three were returning,
when an approaching the Talbot St
creasing the flagman warned them of
the approaching train. The' horse
was difficult ao
handle, and Clark.
seeing he couI not turd in the space
between him and the track, tried to
cross, but the train struck the shafts
between the horse and the vehicle,
and threw all three out on the track,
directly in front of the -engine. The'
foresight of the engineer, and that
alone, saved the three from a terrible
death between the wheels.- He put
on the steam brakes and reversed the
engine 'until the wheels turned back-
ward Upon the track, stopping, the
tr,i,i within eight feet. The buggy
Iwas smashed to pieces, while the oc-
cupants escaped without injery, save
' Clark's leg, which received a flesh
wound.
DEATH OF MR E. J. W000s.-One

extended to all.
Sunday, March let, will be observ-
ed as the centennial of Methodism in
Upper and Lower Canada, and there-
fore reference to it is likely to be
made 'in every Methodist pulpit of
Canada. One hundred. years of the
work of the Church is certainly a
fruitful theme. John Wesley died
about 10 o'clock in the morning,
March 2, 1791.
The St Thomas Journal of last
week, says :-"Rev. J. Livingston, of
Listowel, formerly of the London
Conference, spent Sunday and Mon-
day evening with the people of Grace
Church. His sermons on Sunday
were on behalf of the missions. It
would scarcely do him justice to say
the congregation on Sunday was
greatly satisfied. The large audience
which gathered in last night to hear
him lecture on "The Human Voice,"
frequently interrupted him with ex-
pressions of'appreciation."
The quarterly services of Ratten-
bury street church, were held on
Sunday morning last. The lovefeast
service was not only largely attended,
but was participated in by a great
many, the power of the divine spirit
being graciously manifest and the
experiences giving evidence ofgrowth,
development and spiritual, progress
during the past quarter An un-
usually large number also participat-
ed in the sacrament; the membership
of this church is in a very healthy
and gratifying condition; -and the
pastor, Mr Shilton, has the satisfac-
tion of seeing "much good done in
the name of the Lord."
The union evangelistic services in
Rattenbury St church, conducted by
Rev. A. H. Renton, are nightly at-
tended by large crowds, and several
have already gone forward as seekers
of salvation. Mr Renton is au able
and eloquent preacher', and presents
the truth in such a manner that it at
once carries conviction. He has re-
cently been conducting meetings in
Muskegon, Manistee, Mason, Benton
Harbor, Grenville and Carson City,
all these cities being in the State of
,Michigan, and over 1050 adults pro-
fessed conversion. He has calls for /
work in different parts of Ontario,but
previous engagements in ,,Michigan
om prevent his acceptance of any. The
as services here will be continued tor
ief -some time. Miss Williams, evangel -
ed ist, was present at the services on
as Wednesday. .

anniversary riervices of Willis
Chutch were held on Sunday last, at
which the Rev. J. A.Murray, of Lon-
don, occupied the pulpit both morn
ing and evening. At the morning
service the text of the discourse was
Col. 1: 12, chosen as appropriate to an
anniversary occasion,and uponwhich
the preacher delivered an earnest,and
impressive sermon. In the evening
the text was John 3: 16. In opening
he said this might be thought a rather
strange anniversary text, the tendency
being on such occasions to' preach
either the congregation or the preach-
er, but he thought it too solemn for
any words of man's wisdom; it might
be that they never again would meet
in the same capacity as at present, so
he desired to preach to them Christ
only, giving an able sermon, which
was broad in its thought and yet
comprehensive. The collections taken
during the day amounted to about
$300.
