IT PRQ'Irl FRU;T.-Mr John Hardy, of the base line, informs us .that his r i: eceipts lust yea from all orchard only lalf-an-acie in extent,' were greater than that from Ill acres of fall 'Wheat. The moral of this would seem to be to grow more fruit. The western states and territories will never be able to supply their own fruit, and. Canada will always be the source of supply to a great extent. Get the Americans to throw the duty off and the Canadian fruibraiser would be "In clover." OUR APPLE TRADE. -It has been a peculiarly puzzling year to apple deal- ers. In the early part of the season, owing to exaggerated reports regard- ing the quantity of fruit, huyers be- came excited and prices gradually rose. t8 ,a n h `WR L.

Mr Peterson also had an interest in about 10,000 barrels at Brussels which Mr James Steep handled, and in other various parts of the Province he either handled or had an interest in about 100.000 barrels making a total of nearly 200,000 barrels this season, of which he has about 40,- 000 stored for repacking. He also re- presents Messrs James Adam, Son & Co., Liverpool. soliciting for them con- sighments of fruit and looking after the shipment of other dealers favoring that firm with their consignment.

The Young People of Rattenbury St. church purpose issuing a monthly paper as soon as the necessary ar- rangements can be made. Rev. W.

Miss Ida Stewart, the efficient or- ganist of the Presbyterian church, Blyth, has gone to Toronto to further pursue the musical art. Miss Nellie Stalker will act as organist during her absence. The anniversary services of the Wingham Presbyterian church took place on Sunday, Rev. Mungo Fraser, the eloquent divine of Hamilton, oc- cupied the pulpit both morning and evening. Mr G. W. Kiely, of Toronto, brother of Mr W.T. Kiely, of Goderieh, has be- stowed a sum of $4,000 upon St. Mi- chael's College, the interest of which is to be devoted to the education of young men for the priesthood. TFIV CLINTON` N W `. SAX, The opening of the naw ripe organ in Rattenbury St. church, Whiten, early in March, will be an important event, and the Organ Recital thtt will accompany it will be of special inter- est, as Mr Art De� p.ew, a Detroit organ ist, Mr Jarvis, a Detroit Musician, and others of note are expected to take part. On Friday evening last the members of the congregation of the base line Baptist church met at Mr G. Askwith's residence, Hullett, and presented him with a handsome sofa, accompanied by a complimentary address, as a tok- en of then' appreciation of his services as leader of the singing. There is some talk of the Blyth and Clinton Roman Catholic churches be- ing placed under one pastorate; at present Clinton and Godhrich are unit- ed, but the work is too heavy. Should the change proposed be made, it is likely that a house will be seem ed here for the occupation of the pries; in charge. Miss Sarah Acheson, of Goderich, led the meeting of the Young People, in connection with Rattenbury St. church, on Monday. This society has had the honor of giving spiritual training to quite a number of yoiing people of marked individuality, and Miss Acheson is one of the most pro- minent of those whose life "has borne friiit. to the honor of the Master." A vestry meeting was held in St. Paul's church, Wingham, on Monday evening, for the purpose of determin- ing whether or not the resignation of Rev. E.W. Hughes, will be accepted. The rev. gentleman has been asked by his widowed mother to go home to England to arrange the affairs of the family, and in order to do so would have to either be granted a three months' leave of absence or have his resignatian accepted. Rev. Dr. Sutherland, Missionary Secretary, gave sermons on behalf of missions, in both the Methodist churches of town, on Sunday last. Though removed from the field of active pulpit work, to a great extent; his sermons were characterized by that great ability and power that even in his young days, stamped him as one of the most able men of the Methodist church, and all who listened to him on Sunday last did so with the conviction that he was thoroughly conversant with Bible teaching and interpreta- tion, and was able to present truth with an eloquence surpassed by very few in the Dominion. The collections and subscriptions, in both churches, were liberal, and will show an advance for missions over last year. ' Town Council The regular meeting of the council was held on 'Monday night, all the members present. The Street Com- mittee reported against granting the Automat'c Telephone Company the exclusive right to erect poles on the street, but that they have the same privileges as enjoyed by the other company.

Mr Irwin addressed! the council in reference to inducing industries to locate here, and expressed the thought that when the council advertdsed of- fering freedom from; taxation to any industry locating here, it should have gone further,and offered some financial assistance, as no industry would move from one ,,lace to another without ". t ,r ay i of aNltr�c* rewu gneetion of Oho establiShMent; of a I monthly fair and Marl4et. day be re. • f'ersed to a special. committee, conn - used of Messrs.M`aemu.rcbio.

The property owned and oc- cupied lately by Mr Madden, is now owned by Mr Dan Geddes, who in- tends turning part of it into a tailor shop; Mr Madden has gone to live at Ethel, so Belgrave needs a shoemaker; it is a good opening for a practical business man.
