Racey: DEAR SIR AND BROTHER,—Having learned that the eve of your depart- ure from our midst is upon us, we cannot allow a separation without showing to you that we are indeed brethren, and that we have appreci- ated your labors while with us. Although having been a member of our noble order but a short time, yet you have, during that limited period, become endeared to all the members and have proved to be an indefatig- able brother by filling with assiduity the prominent position entrusted to you. We are sorry to lose you; how- ever, we sincerely hope that where - ever your lot may be cast that you and your partner may enjoy the richest of blessings, and that you may still continue to be an untiring member of our order. Please accept this address, which in itself is of no intrinsic worth, but it conveys to you the sentiments of honest hearts knitted together by brotherly love ; ever praying that your transient life may meet with the approval of the Omnipotent, God.

Your stay here has not been very long, but during that time you have worked zealously to promote the beet inters ests of our church ; and the perish able articles we may give are not your reward as many sparkling gems have been set in your Heavenly Crown. You have proved yourself to be a noble person and have be'. come by your affable manner very much beloved by all who knew you, and:the tie woven by you will not be broken even though removed from us. May we ask you to accept this silver cup and saucer as a slight token of our love for you, and if words are the true utterances of hearts we do sincerely hope and pray that yonr abode may be in pleasant places and that God may see fit to prolong yonr life many years.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—At the farm of Mr. Reid near Bayfield occurred a very serious accident last week. Mr. Reid and his son were engaged in cutting wheat and Mr. Reid who was driving the binder was thrown off. Hie son attempted to stop the horses and was thrown in front of the guides of the binder but fortu- nately a large sheaf of grain was caught in the guides which pre- vented him from being cut to pieces. The boy was very much bruised and received a deep scalp wound. Dr. Sheppard, of Bayfield was immediately called in and under hie skilful care the patient is slowly recovering. Ilohnesville.

Mr. Mc• Connell, formerly Pastor of Bayflald Road and Berne Congregations, is now preaching—A serious accident happpped last Wednesday on the farm of Mr. Johu Reid 'Teas. of this 'Tp. He was cutting wheat with a binder and in going down a hill the tongue of the machine came out of the neckyoke; thus allowing the bin- der to run forward upon the three horses attached to it. They became frightened and were soon entirely unmanageable. Mr. Reid seeing he could do nothing with them, to save himself, jumped from the machine. Meanwhile the horses kept on in their mad career and unfortunately took a line in the direction of one of yt r. Reid's sons who was working in the field. He tried to get out of the way but fell and the cutting bar of the binder caught him upon the guards, dragging hinaaabout twenty feet and then in some way or other passed over him. Mr. Reid ran to him expecting to find him a mangled corpse but was joyfully surprised to see him trying to raise himself. With the assistance of others;he was carried to the house and Dr. Shop- pherd of Bayfield dressed his wounds. lIe had received on ugly gash in the shoulder caused by the guards stick- ing into him and two or three severe outs about the head besides being otherwise generally bruised. He is now doing as well as could be expect- ed considering the exceedingly rough usage he received from the machine. He had a very narrow escape from death and the wonder of everybody is that he was not mangled beyond recognition. The binder is almost a total wreck. Colborsie. Rev. Mr. Beilby preached a epic - lel sermon to the young people on Sabbath last. Mr. Thos. Cou,i,s hal, erected a fine new house, leaving his f-..rmer residence to his son William.

The returns to the Government for the last fiscal year show that the McKinley bill has not injured Can- ada, and show that we are not de- pendent upon the United States for a market. We exported nearly a million dollars wore of products the past year than the year before when there was no McKinley hill. The cause of this is not far to seek. We were content to let the Ameri• cans do our exporting and their own too. Now we do our own ex- porting to Britain and other foreign countries instead of letting the Americans do it and reap the profits of it. The McGreevy investigation by the Committee of the House on elections and privileges continues its work of exposing the rascally employees in various departments, and the rascally doings of con• tractors. The chief scoundrels in defrauding the Government are Owen E. Murphy and Robert Mc- Greevy, who are the principal wit- nesses as well, and they both have sworn that they are perjir-era. So far as Murphy is concerned what part he took in politics was as a Re- former, and Robert McGreevy was a candidate in the Liberal interest for the local House. The govern• ment is doing all that is possible to ferret out the offenders and several of the culprits have been dismissed from the public service ; and, tell it not in Gath, the majority of them were allied with the' Grit party, one of them having been Mr. McKen- zie's pavate seeFetary. Let the good work a keillfftrlYefrunlYlratitt shall escape. THF TRIENNIAL (,RANGE COUNCIL. The tenth session of the imperial triennial council of the Orange order finished its deliberations at Toronto on Friday at 2 p. m The greater part of the morning was taken up in the discussion of a change ill the form of obligation taken by those joining the order. At present there is only one form of obligation, and many citizens of the United States object to it as it stands. They cannot be Orangemen and citizens of the republic at the same time unless their couscience takes an opiate. The discussion started on a motion introduced by Grand Master Traynor, of the United States, who upheld his views in a good, sensible and moderate speech of some length, but some other of the American friends were quite waspy over the affair. On motion of' Grand Secre- tary Robert Birmingham the matter was referred to a committee com- posed of the grand masters of Eng- land, Ireland, Scotland, Australia. British America and the United States. It is not expected that any change will be made, as the majority of the delegates seemed to think that, as the Orange order is essen- tially British, that any change would tend to loosen the bonds between Canadians and the mother country, and that it would he inadvisable to weaken the tie which retains them as subjects of the British Queen.-- Empire.— IS AND A BOUT THE COUNTY —Fred M :Leman, f, years et age, son of John :McLennan, builder of Hayfield, Out., was accidentally drowned by fal ing into the rif or. —A. 1', Campb• Il, Conservative M.
