When a teacher makes an engagement he should fill it out, and he should scorn to be seeking an- other position, until his term ends. In this respect the law needs changing. A teacher's contract should be as binding as any other. Of course this does not apply to all teachers, but it does. to a very large number, and the practise should be stopped. • Church Notes. All the ministers of town occupied their own pulpits on Sunday last. Rev F. E.Waelchli, of Berlin, a min- ister of the New Jerusalem church, preached in the town hall, 00 Sunday nioruing last, to it small audience.

HURON PRESSIMPIRY.—The Presby- tery sustained the call from Manches- ter and Smith's Hill to the Rev. R. Henderson, of Bayfield, and appointed the Rev A. Stewart to cite the con- gregrations of Baytield and Bethany, in the usual way. Meetings of these congregationt will be held on Sept. 7, to take what action they may think necessary. The Young People's Association of Rattenbury St. church was last Mon- day evening addressed by Mr IL B.

McClure,of the Township of MoKillop, near Seaforth, who had been in poor health for some time, diee very suddenly last week of heart failure. Deceased had been in the orchard a short time, and on return- ing to the house sat down on the doorstep, and was in the act of eating an apple when he suddenly fell over and immediately ex- pired. The Stratford Beacon says: "Mr J. FL Pyper has returned to Seaforth, where he has entered into partnership with his old employer, Mr J. Duncan, in the dry goods business. Mr Pyper, during his ahort red sidence here, made many warm friends both in his business and social relations. He took an active interest in temperance workand also in the services ofthe Method- ist Church, in both of whioh undertakings he was ably assisted by his estimable wife. Their many friends here, while regretting their departure, trust that they will meet with unbounded succese in Seaforth." A farmer in Wawanosh bad a strange experience a few days ago -so he says. He was using a binder in a wheat field when, in some unaccountable inanner, he became entangled in the binding twine and was carried up like a sheaf and dumped down on theground with the wheat. Neither he nor the machine were injared,so he took bold of the lines again and went on with Ms work as though nothing bad happened. John Pastlethwaite had his foot badly injured at Goderioh a few days ago, the corner of a boiler having fallen upon it. A bottle was recently found on the shore of Lake Huron by Joseph Brenner, pro- prietor and manager of the Grand Bend Hotel, six miles south of that place, which had been sent adrift on the 25th of July, twenty miles north of Goderioh, by mem- bers of the United States Department of Agriculture Weather Bureau. A note was inclosed in the bottle, asking the finder to return it,and state where found,their object being to find the drift of the current during the time the bottle, was lost.

McClure, aged 27 years and 23 days. At one o'clock Saturday morning Alfred S. Ball, barrister -at -law, Wood- stock, while quietly reading in the din- ing -room of his residence, wateattacked by a, burglar, who had come in through an open window, and was shot at four times. Two of the bullets struck him, one on the top of the head and the other in the arm. Mrs Ball, hearing the disturbance, came to her husband'i assistance. She knocked the burglar senseless, and afterwards tied him and telephoned for assistance. The burglar is now in jail. Mr Bali, although not seriously injured; will be confined to his room for several daye. Many curiosity -seekers Thursday visited a modest looking dwelling in Comstock street, NewBrunswick, N. J., with a hope of getting a view of the body of Purman Schenck, known as Barnum's colored fat boy, who died Wednesday of fatty degeneration of the liver. He weighed 5M pounds at the time of his death. Undertaker Rogers has had a coffin made six feet long and four feet two inches Wide. and three feet ten inches deep. The undertaker has been puzzled in planning » for the removal of the immense coffin from the house. The door is not wide enough to permit the coffin being carried out the front entrance, and it will be carried by a dozen men through the back door and through an opening made in the fence. There is not a hearse in New Bruns- wick or anyadjacenttown large enough for the extraordinary corpse, and the coffin veil have to be conveyed to the cemetery in a waggon. The relatives wanted a public service at the Mt. Zion colored church, but this was im- possible on account of the aisles of the church being too narroes to permit the coffin being carried to the altar.
