THANKSGIVING SERVICE AND SUP-
PER—Last Thursday the Methodists of
Blyth held their annual service and
dinner. The Sabbath previous the
Rev. J. S. Fisher, a former pastor,
preached acceptable sermons. On
Thanksgiving day Rev. G. W. Hender-
son, of London, gave a fine discourse
on the Transfiguration of Christ. In
the evening the dinner was served in
the basement of the church, -and eat-
ables were provided in such a style as
reflected credit on those who hado-
vided them. After that part of the
occasion there came the evening's en-
tertainment; the choir opened with an
anthem, the Rev. Mr. Christie led in
prayer, then the pastor, Rev. W.
Campbell, in a few felicitous remarks
set the ball rolling. The first speaker
was Mr Young, sec. of the Trust
Board; he showed in round numbers
the indebtedness of the church a year
ago was $1700, but with the efforts of
the day it was reduced to $1400, sev-
en hundred of which was in the form
of subscriptions, while next year, if
spared, they hope to very nearly, if
not quite, wipe off the whole amount,
and they could if they would ask for
the whole amount on a given day.
Then came the Rev. F. Swann, of Au-
burn, who gave a practical address on
"Influences coming back to us," then
the London preacher sang a song of
trust, after him came the Rev. J. W.
Dyke in a very clever speech on
"Features of the day," while he was
followed by the Rev. J. S. Fisher, who
angled up truths in his own general
way and distributed them to the audi-
ence; lastly came Rev. G. W. Hender-
son, of London, and from the old
nursery rhyme Little Jack Horner, he
wove lessons which to remember, would
do all good who heard them. The
pastor, Rev. W. F. Campbell, occupied
the chair. The choir did excellently
in anthems and duets, which were
fully in keeping with the spirit of the
hour. Proeeeds $135, with a social on
Friday for Sabbath School.
LienteCol. 'Pilton, the De Sty Minister
of Fisheries, has been sustiended. The
charge against laim is irhegularity 'in the
handling of public funds. This sort of
thing is growing tiresome.
SURPRISE. - On Tuesday evening
last, a large number of the members and
;friends of St John's church, Varna,
spent a very sociable and enjoyable
evening at the English church parson-
age, Bayfield the object of their visit
was to present the Rev. Mr Newton
with a fur coat, and the ladies present-
,ed.Mrs Newton with a handsome set of
china fruit dishes. The Rev. gentle-
artan and his estimable lady were com-
pletely' surprised ; a highly compli-
mentary address was read by Mr Jas.
Armstrong, and Miss Maggie Me-
-Naughton and Mrs Jas Armstrong, on
behalf of the, congregation, made the
presentation. The Rev. gentleman

Westfield.
NoTEs--Now that "the melanchol
days are come, the saddest of the year"
any sane person prefers to sit in doors
and write items for the newspaper,
rather than go out and 'face the in-
clemency of the weather. On Thurs-
day night some miscreants broke down
the flag -pole on school house No. 6 and
carried off rope and pully as plunder;
if they are caught at any of their
mean, malicious tricks, they will get
their winter courses free. The revival
meetings in Westfield church still
continue; they have been going on for
nearly five weeks; the pastor, Rev. F.
Swann, seems untiring in his efforts
to bring souls to Christ ; although
some have gone forward, much of the
preaching seems to fall on deaf ears.
Thanksgiving Day was celebrated here
by services in the Methodist church,
the pastor took for his text the words
"Thanks be unto God for his unspeak-
able gift"the sermon was very edifying,
full of fevor and feeling, followed by
much spiritual good. T. R. Mitchell
has returned from Manitoba. The rag
bee at Mrs E. McDowell's was not as
well attended as might have been, ow-
ing to bad weather. Mr Reid has been
to Lucknow twice during the past
week; what can be the attraction?
Mr John Redmond, of this place, lost
228 lbs of flesh, during the past two
weeks. We are glad to note • that Mr
Alfred Carr, who has been seriously
indisposed, is able to be around again.
Mr John Black has returned from his
trip to Manitoba, he reports a great
scarcity of women there, and in con-
sequence does not like the place at all
at all. Mr John C. Anderson, of Mon-
tana, has returned home to spent the
winter "mit his frau." Some of our
Westfield "kids" took in the enter-
tainment at Blyth Thursday night.
L Seaforth.
BARD LINES.—About four months
ago an aged woman named Mrs Shaw
moved from Seaforth to Stratford,with
her daughter, in the hope that the lat-
ter might find employment. Soon af-
ter their arrival the daughter was
taken sick, and it was not long before
their scanty means were exhausted.
On Friday the old lady, who is nearly
70 years of age, went with her daugh-
ter to the Albion Hotel to see Rev G.
R. Beamish, curate of St James Ohurcha
and ask him to arrange with the au-
thorities to have them sent back to
Seaforth. While waiting for him in
one of the parlours Mrs Shaw fainted,
and an examination by Drs.. disclosed
the fact that the woman was starving
and had fainted from weakness, due to
lack of nourishment. Guy Bros Min-
strels were stopping at the hotel at the
time, and when they heard of the case
they took the matter into their own
hands. The wives of two members of
the company made some beef tea and
nursed the poor woman back to con-
sciousness, and after doing all that
could be done for her sent her home in
a hack. The daughter was also nearly
famish and after being treated to a
good din Ker by the proprietor of the
hotel, w sent home with a large bas-
ket of e stables and a handsome present
in money from the company.

the actions of some people residing not
far from the Nile, that there shouldbe
seven instead of six days in the week.
A eertain 'family residing not a
thousand miles.from the Nile has had
their education very much neglected in
some very essential matters; they are
not thoroughly versed in the meaning

Another family residing near them

case but take no pains to have them
better taught. We understand there
are at Goderich, Toronto and Kingston,

ment for the better education -of such
characters. A free pass along the rail-
roads is also supplied "A word to the

jr., has returned from Manitoba, where
he has been working since August.
On account of the inclemency of the
weather only a small company of peo-
ple assembled at the church, on Mon-
day evening, to hear °Rev Mr Simpson
the Bible Society agent. His address
was able, and was listened to with
rapt attention. All the officers of the
Nile branch of the society were re-

THANKSGIVING SERVICE.—The Pres-
byterians, Congregationalists,.;Baptist
and Methodists held a thanksgiving
service in the Presbyterian church on
Thursday. The Rev. gentlemen of the
above churches were all present, each
taking part in the service. The Rev.
5. Sellery, B. D., preached the sermon,
taking his text from 1st Chronicles
29th chapter and 13th verse, "Now
therefore, our God we thank thee, and
praise thy glorious name." The ser-
mon was very interesting and instruc-
tive, and those that were present were
highly pleased with his discourse.
LECTURE.—The lecture in the Meth-
odist church, by Chaplain Searles, of
Auburn Prison, New York, on Tuesday
evening, was appreciated by all who
heard it. His subject was "A voice
fromrison." It would be necessary
to callp this voice by names, which he
termed Idleness and Intemperance.
First he showed that idleness was one
of the stepping stones towards the
prison, and was that which caused
many an aching heart. He then
pointed out many evils arising from
intemperance, and while many amus-
ing incidents were related by bin , yet
there was something about the speak-
er while relating the scenes of the
prison that carried the audience with
him to view the wide spread evils of
intemperance. The audience was not
very large, 'owing to the unpleasant-
ness of the weather, but all who were
present were delighted with the lec-
ture, and we feel certain should, Chap-
lain Searles ever visit Wingham again
that he would be received by a large
audience.
NOTES.—Mr W. Green has improved
the appearance of his residence lately,
by having a handsome verandah built
in front, facing Minnie St and facingPatrick St he has built a line hall and
bay window and a verandah in front
of the kitchen: There wasa severe
snow storm here on Tusday and
Wednesday, sleighs, cutters and merry
bells were to be seen arid' heard in
every direction. Mr Chapman, of
Ripley, spent a day or two in town
with his brother this week. Mr A. E.
Bradwin, of Seaforth, spent Sunday in
town with his parents Mrs James
Steele, of Ambers,, and Mrs Jas Mc-
Tavish, of Lochalsh, were visiting
friends in town last week. Miss Seale,

been trying their luck this week, with
marked success—something like the
fellow who went fishing once upon a
time; and asked the fellow from whom
he purchased his splendid string of flap.
to toss them over to him, so that he
could say he caught them. Miss Mita.:,
Hauch intends leaving for her home in.
Gowanstown, this week.
