The -church was -handsomely decorated with ain, fruits, vegetables and flowers. Rev F.G. Newton, of Beyfield, preached the thanksgiving sermon, choosing his text from Acts xx, 35, "To remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said it was more blessed to give than to receive." He laid the subject of Christian giving before the people in euch.a..clea,reand .praoticalevety • that none could fad to see the force of his arguments. He dealt chiefly with three questions, (1) What we should • give? time, talent, or money. (2) Why we should give.? It is more blessed to give than to receive; also, God is own- er of all, we are only stewards. (3) How we should give? According as God has prospered us; according as we purpose in our hearts. The thank of- fering to Almighty God, for the boun- ties of the harvest, was a liberal one, amounting to $17.06. The envelope system was used on this occasion, which seems to meet with the approval of all. 61111INISIEN CLINTON WE meet the people thie fall with one of the brightest stocks ever imported to the County of Huron.

Every available space was occupied on Monday evening,while the school ren- dered a program of recitations, sing- ing, etc. A novel feature of the pro- gram was the calisthenic exercise with hoops, by eight girls, and also two club swingers.

Noyes.—We are looking for a good time next Sunday and Monday, the occasion of the Methodist church anni- versary; sermons are to be preached on Sunday by Revs. Messrs Fisher, Att- Weed, Shilton and Smyth, of Clinton; the tea and public meeting on Monday evening will simply be immense. It is stated that out of a number of applica- tions for the position of teacher here, the trustees have selected Mr McRob- ertseof the Tipperary school, for next year; he is said to be an unusually able young man, and will no doubt do his best to give satisfaction; he is following one who has been exceedingly faithful and zealous, and who has helped much to build up the school, and Mr Mc- Roberts will find it no easy task—yet a pleasant duty—to walk in his prede- cessor's footsteps. SERVICE.—The annual thanksgiv- ing Ser vice was held in the 'English church here, on Sunday afternoon last. The church had been previously nicely decorated with fruits, flowers, grains and vegetables, which made one on entering think of the good God who giveth food to all men. Rev Mr New- ton, of Bayfleld, preached a practical sermon from Acts xx, 35, on "Christien giving." It was not a begging sermon, but was simply an explanation of, (1) What we should give to God; (2) Why we should give to God; and (3) How we should give to God. The thank offer- ing amounted to $4.90, but as it rained just about the time when people would be coming to churcb, many were there- by detained at home, who no doubt will bring their offering in the small envelope for that purpose, on Stmday next Service on Sunday next is at 7 o'clock in the evening. . Hensall Fru. -0n Friday night last our eiti- zens were startled by the cryof Fire( Fire! It was soon ascertained that the Hen - sail Hotel, owned and occupied by Mr Ralph McIntyre, was on fire. The fire occurred about balfpast eleven, in the room of one of the boarders Mr D. McIntosh, who was creamatecl in the building. When the proprietor who was convinced that there was a fire in the building, located it in his room, it had got such headway that it was un- posinble to extinguish it or to get Mr McIntosh out; as the door was opened thus given it air, the flames spread with great rapidity, and the whole building a frame, was soon enveloped in flames which soon spread to the sheds and stables, and then to the adjoining car- penter shop and house occupied by Mr R. Welsh, which despite the heroic ef- forts of the citizens, was soon reduced to ashes, but the flames were here stay- ed, though with difficulty. The loss on the hotel is $5,000. insured for $3,000; on Mr R. Welsh's $1;000; no insurance. Several of the boarders lost their cloth- ing and jewelery.

Fettenvnit. - — On Sunday mornine• last the Presbyterian church was crowded to its utmost, it being _known that its esteemed pastor, Mr Hender- son, would then preach his farewell sermon. He took for his text the ad- mirable words of Paul to the °orbs. thians: "Finally, brethren, farewell; be perfect; be of good comfort; be of one mind; live in peace, and the Goa, of love and peace shall be with me" His remarks were practical, earnest, thoughtful and affectionate, and the mental conclusion of every listener was, that in his removal Bayfield will lose a good and loyal citizen, and the Presbyterian church one of the most zealous, faithful and able pastors it has ever had the good fortune to re- ceive. Goderich. SERVICES.—St. Joseph's choir, of Clinton, sang at St Peter's church, on Sunday last, leIrs Wall, organist; Pro- fessor Jones, Director. The Mass se- lected was Peter's in D.
