The subject was so masterly and pleasingly handled that in the ev- ening at a quarter to eight she again took the platforth, this time the hall became so crowded that the doors had to be shuts to prevent any more from crowding in. Her subject for this lecture was "the power of influence," frona this she gave many illustrations, shewing that all have an influence, either for good or for evil. On Mon- day evening it was "stumbling blocks," by this she showed us plainly who were the stumbling blocks. At each lecture she sang a solo or two, which were very pleasing to listen to, but the one that touched the heart most was "Papa 'be true to me." At each meeting the place was crowded, and should Mrs Hitchcox ever come to Wingham again it will be necessary to secure the town hall. To say the lea,st of the lady, she is a true devoted Christian, and has the Temperance work at heart. On Tues- day afternoon the Women's Temper- ance Union was re -organized.

The ani- mal, being restive and high spirited, broke away from the youth, and evi- dently thinking she was on the course, started down the 2nd concession a,t a 2:40 clip.

The farmers all seem delighted and are all busy; the market in pork and wood having had a brisk week of it. The grippe, though prevalent, is beginning to loosen its hold, and many of the old- er folks, who have taken it, are yet far from being able to resume regular du- ties, but hope they may rapidly gather strength while this fine weather lasts.
