A RELIC. -Mrs Martin, of this village, has a set of china that are quite a curi- osity, and for their age are in a splen- did state of preservation. They were brought out from Scotland in the year 1810, and are made in a pattern emblematic of the nation's mourning. They are only used on special occa- sions, and are yet an excellent set. EULOGISTIC AND CRITICAL. - The last issue of the Ladies Home Monthly Magazine, published at Toronto, .O0D- tains a well-written and clever article reviewing Ten nyson, his life and poems. The paper is from a well-known Bay- field boy, Mr R. B. J. Stanbury, and deals very fairly with the life of the great poet. It shows more than or• dinary acquaintance with Tennyson's works, and is at once eulogistic and critical. Westfield. &nom., REPORT. -Sen. 4th -George Buchanan 216.

INTERESTING CASE. -A novel and nteresting case was disposed of by hancellor Boyd, at the court house, oderich, on Tuesday last. From the tatements made to the court by the wo or three witnesses called, it ap- ears that about twelve months ago . A. Purvis became a charter member f Inverness Camp, Sons of Scotland, hich meets in Goderich, and took a rtiflcate for 51,000, made payable in se of death to his nieces. Mr Purvis ed in March last, and when the time me to pay, a question arose as to liich nieces should get the money. It its generally understood that deceased eant the money to go, in case of his ath, to Mrs Salkeld and Miss Jack. n examination of the papers it was, wever, seen at once that some doubt isted on this point, as there were five eces. The Society was ready to pay e anaount at any moment if protect - against a second claim. The five ices had come to an agreement to are the aloney equally and gieo the ciety a complete discharge, when fortunately one of them, Mrs Salk- , died and left no will.

After string the evidence of those who had n.the last to speak to deteased on subject, the Chancellor decided t the money should go to Miss Jack d the legal heirs of Mrs Salkeld. e Chancellor also expressed his opht- that all parties concerned had ted in perfect good faith and given ry possible information on the mat,- .

We are to have electric lights in a short time. We are sure of them this time, when such an .enterprising citi- zen as Mr J. B. Kelly has taken the matter in hand. The Cosgrove Fauaily Concert Co. will give a concert here on Monday, Nov. 7th, under the auspices of the Blyth Fire Brigade. The Cosgroves erre not strangers here, and should draw a full house. The usual Orange supper, in com- memoration of gunpowder plot, is this year being dispensed with. A large number of Foresters and Orangemen intend taking in the supper and con- cert in Londesboro. It is a thing of the past. October's beautiful days are over, the most de- lightful of all months in Canada. The maple takes on the gorgeous hues, and hill and dale rejoice in a wealth of sun- shine, and fittingly conclude the period of nature's toil, and gild her coming repose with the promise of glorious resurrection. Large congregations found their way to the Methodist church on Sunday, it beingquarterly meeting there in the morning. The service was a very de- lightful one, many declaring it one of the best during Mr Campbell's pastor- ate. We learn that the bneiness meet- ing, on Monday, showed the finances of the circuit in better condition than ever before. We presume that will make congratulations in order. A letter appeared in last week's Standard (every word of which we en- dorse) dealing with fakirs at our fairs. We raise our bumble voice and say that the directors cannot be too careful in a matter of this kind. If we are to have amusements at fair time, let us have that which elevates the young mind. Fakirs of all kinds should be stopped; a good heavy tax would have the desired effect. METHODIST CHURCH ANNIVERSARY. -The anniversary services in connec- tion with the Methodist church will be held on the 6th inst., and on Thanks- giving Day. On Sabbath Rev W. C. Henderson, of Kincardine, will preach Ianniversary sermons at 11 a.m. and , 6.30 p.m.; collection at each service in aid of church debt.

Leech will be pleased to learn that he is recovering, though slowly, of his illness, but yet unable to take his pul- pit; his work on Sunday being supplied by Giles Jenkins, of Blyth; Ur Jenkins is one wbo unassumingly endeavors to do his Master's work, and is a good and acceptable local supply. On Sun- day next quarterly services will be held at Londesboro. The usual week- night prayer meeting was held at the residence of Mr James Braithwaite, on Wednesday night on the eve of their departure to Welland, as Mrs Braith- waite has been unable to get out to church for some time on account of her severe illness, and a very profitable time was spent to all present. Apple packers are busy in this section, and will probably wind up most of their apples next week. We are sorry to state that on Sunday morning the wife of Joseph Govier died, cancer being the cause. On Thuraday,__the-28th,--the- wife of Mr Wm Bingham presented him with a son. Mr R. Wallace. who has been in the Northwest for some- time, taking charge of an engine in a kurge saw mill, has again returned to Londesboro to spend the winter months; no doubt he thinks the north- ern climate too severe for him. Mr Robert Wallace and his son, and Mr H. Cade, have arrived home from Whitemouth, Man., where they have been engaged in a saw mill during the summer months. Mrs Grantham, who has been visiting at Mr Hiles' for some time, is now on a short visit at Mr Geo Garrett's, of Westfield. The regular quarterly service will be held in the Methodist Church here, next Sunday morning; RevMr Paul, of Brussels, will take charge of the service. Summerhill. I.O.G.T.-The following are the of- ficers elected for the present quarter, commencing Nov. 1st, viz: -C. 'T., Geo. W. Hill; V. T., Tressie Christopher; Chap., R.

He has lately added to his commodious libuse that conveni- ent and useful addition -a wood shed. Mr Thos Sled, who has been working during the summer with Mr Jos. Mc- Cully, has finished his seven months' engagement, and returns this week along with his mother to his home near Collingwood. Tuckersinith. NorEs.-Hallowe'en passed off quiet- ly in this section, but a few of the natives could not let the occasion pass without inhinging a few gates. Mrs N. Cosens is visiting her daughter, Mrs D. Day, at Buffalo. Threshing is now finished in this locality. Mr T. Britton is Contemplating a trip to England, at an early date. Dungannon RE -ENGAGED. -Alex. McKay, who has been principal inDungannon school for nearly two years, has been re-en- gaged for 1893, getting an increase of salary, which evinces that he is a suc- cessful teacher and that his services as suck are being appreciated more and mere eaeh year. LEASED. -Geo. Smith, of West Wa- wanosh, has rented or leased his splen- did farm, to Messrs Holtby and Case (who formerly melded in the vicinity of Whitby,) for the term of seven years. Mr Smith intends to locate with his family in our progressive vihaate in the near future. Racoveurtal.- Jas. McCuaig, who resides in Aslifleld, in the vieinity of Dungannon, also a respectable pioneer of that township, is, we are pleased to be able to state, gradually recovering from an attack of pneumonia and af- feetion of the lungs. MARRIAGE BELLS. -On Tuesday of ilast week, a pleasing event to all con- cerned took place at the residence of Chas Robinson, Ashfield, (the popular victualler of Dungannon and vicinity,) it being the union in the bonds of Ma- trimony of Ida daughter, Miss Minnie, to John Wide:mild, of VireetWaNtitioeli.

There was a good attend.: ance of delegates, though not as pykiir. outsiders as had been expected. Ne- vertheless, the convention was a Imre, cess and it is safe to say that good will be the outcome ofit. The election of officers restiltefl, in the choice of Rev. J. S.

In the absence of the President, Re*;, J.H.Sirnpson, of Brucefield, was chosen. to preside. Reports were given on behalf of the different Endeavor Societies. showing a large and active membership, with , growing interest. There are abOut, ' 500 active members in the county and • in the neighborhood of 500 more asso- ciate mem-hers. The hearing of these. reports occupied considerable time and were quite interesting. Miss Telford; of Seaforth, read an admirable paper' on the duties of the "Lookout mittee," which gave rise to a shortY discussion. The evening session was also held in the Presbyterian church, which com- modious building was filled by an ap-,- preciative audience interested in hristian work. After the opening ex- rcises Miss McIntyre read an excel- ent paper on "Our Pledge," which overed very ably and fully the differ- nt portions of the pledge. Rev. Mr Watson delivered an ad- ress of welcome, which was briefly espondedto by the chairman, Rev, T. . Simpson. Mr D. D. Wilson delivered an ad- ress " ' _Christia,n-Endeavui So- iety, its constitution and its work." e said that the society had grand bjects in view. and while it was in a ense seem ate from the church it was ill a part thereof and under the ireet guidance of the officers of the hurch. He referred to the different mmittees that the constitution of e society called for, and showed' how ch in its place contributed to the ell -being of the society. He thought at the fraternal societies, which had own up, were doing a good work d one that should be done by the urches. Rev. W. McDonagh, of Exeter, spoke the advantages of Christian Unity. e was a believer in denominational ork. It was the right of all chnrches work out along their own lines, co- erating whenever occasion called r. He believed the influence of Christ's wer to -day was greater than it ever as. People who belittled Christian, y and ask for a recurrence of Penti- stal power, forget that every 24 ' urs no less than 6,000 souls are ought to Christ. Dr. McDonald believed that great od would result from meetings like s. Asking the question "What ould Christian Encleavorers be?" he swered it by saying they should be roughly equipped for work, for ich equipment seven things were essary; 1 -Consecration; 2-thor- gh understanding of the scriptures; strict honesty; 5 -consistency of eacter;11,-moral courage; 7-uncem-- mising loyalty to Christ.

Mr P. Steinbach, of New Hamburg, paid his brother Henry a flying visit last week. We regret to state that Mrs H. Steinbach is not im- waiving. Mr Charley Bossenberry, of Hensall, paid his friends in Zurich a visit on Sunday last. Miss Susan Sip- ple left this week for Detroit, where she intends to stay for a while. The A.O.F.

WORRING UP. -The Canadian Amer- ican of Chicago, in its last issue, refers as follows to a former Huronite, who has located at West Superior: -"An- other young Canadian who has made a marked sueeess is Mr A. M. Taylor, of the firm of Totylor & Armstrong. He was a new arrival when we made our visit a year ago: in one brief year he has made his way into the front rank of attorneys, anal has a practice equal to anyone in the profession." GUY' BROTMEIRS AIITANSTRELS.- The Montreal Daily Herald, Sept. 23, 1892, says: -A large and appreciative audi- ence greeted the Guy Brothers minstrel show on their first appearance in Mon- treal last night.
