A Superintendant's duties in and out of Sabbath School, was the title of a good paper by Dr. McLachlin. How to pre- pare and how to teach a lesson to a primary class, was a paper by Miss A. Ferguson, Carlow, and we never heard one that dealt so fully and clearly with the subject. Mr D. E. Munro gave a practical illustration of teacking a les- son to a senior class, pichinghis schol- ars from among the adults, and taking the lesson of last Sunday for his text; the questions developed therefrom were some of them posers, but the subject was well handled and very interesting. Mr J. E. Tom, Public School Inspec- tor, addressed a macs ,meeting of the children. The Sabbath School teach- er's aim, and how attained, was an ad- dress by Rev, Mr Geddes, Whitechurch, and How best to cultivate a missionary spirit in the Sabbath School, by Rev. F. Swann. All of these papere gave rise to discussions that were general, many good points being brought out. The duties of librarians and secretaries, was a paper by R. Holmes, Clinton. The Westfield Methodist choir fur- nished excellent music during the after- noon exercises. The convention throughout never flagged or lost inter- est, but was a successful and profitable gathering of those interested in the different branches of S.S. work. Westfield. NOTES.—Mr Arch. Scott will move into Goderich shortly, having rented his farm to Mr Roberton, Hullett. Mr Sandy Nixon is moving to Fordwich this week.

DEATH.—The people of this vicinity were surprised on Wednesday after- noon to learn of the death of Mrs Braithwaite, wife of Mr James Braith- waite, as no. one knew that she was particularly sick, and in point of fact she had been about in her usual health only a short time before. She was one of the pioneers of this section, having resided here for about 40 years, or more. She had attained the age of 76 years; a good mother, a loving wife and one of the kindest of neighbors, she enjoyed the esteem of all who had her acquaintance. For a great many years she has been a member of the Londesboro Methodist church, in fact she was one of it's earliest members. She leaves two sons, beth of whom reside here, and one daughter, Mrs A. Lawrence, of Welland. Mr Braith- waite, sr., is in delicate health, and it is feared the shock will be hard upon him.

HORSE KILLED. — The Palmerston express, on Thursday afternoon, kill- ed a handsome three year old colt for Peter Barr, on the 4th line crossing. Mr Barr hod turned his horses out to water, as was his custom,about 8 p. m. They went to their usual watering place, a spring on the side of the road, a few rods from the track, and after drinking what they wanted, they be- gan racing up and down the road. Upon coming to the track, one of -them started to run along it, and the cattle guard, being filled level with snow, the colt fell in, and was endeav- oring to get out when the train, which was three hours late, struck it. Mr Barr values the colt at $110, and says if the company will not settle for the same, he will sue them, as they are compelled to keep their cattle -guards open to prevent stock from getting in- to trouble..; THE DEATH OF HAROLD GRIFFITH.—An investigation into the cause of the death of Harold Griffith who hanged himself in this township last week, was held before a coroner and a jury, a representative of Mise Macpherson's Home, Stratford, being pres- ent at the inquest. The evidence is now in the hands of the county crown attorney of Huron county. Two theories are advanc- ed as leading to the boy's death -one of suicide and the other that he was playing with the rope intending to hang for a while to see how it felt and then release himself. The latter theory is accepted by those who know the boy and his surroundings, and the evidence,pf the doctor who made the post mortem ! examination also bears out that theory. The doctor testified that the boy could not have helped himself, as was re- ported in the }Papers, because two blood ves- sels in his neck were found to have burst. The bursting of these blood vessels would result as soon as the full weight of the body came on the rope and would render the boy instantly unconsoiods so thatne could not have helped himself. The boy was of cheerful disposition and given to playing tricks, another thing pointed•out in support of the theory of accidental hanging. Brucefield. NOTES.—The anniversary service of the Y.P.S.C.E. of Union Church, are postponed until March 6th and 6th, owing to the severe illness of Dr Dick - son's son.

Osbaldes- ton killed a cow last week. and found in her stomach three nails, eight half nails, nine pins, one needle, already threaded, and a number of other ar- ticles, but which apparently never caused the cow any inconvenience. TEMPERANCE.—The installation of the new officers took place last Mon- day evening, in the R.T. of T. Council. Mr Tom, D. C., was unable to be pre- sent, so Mr Vanatter conducted the service. There were also some twelve or fifteen initiated; the council now numbers about 76, which is an extra good showing for the five vvyyeeks of or- ganization. Part of Goderich council visited us, and after the adjournment were entertained to supper at the Ramsay House.

Nom—Mr Fred Elford is blamed for the authorship of a little item under this heading a couple o1 week'sago: about a horse and rig, but he had nothing what ever to do with it and never knew of it until its publioation. Parties have called at the NEw ERA during the past week and also charged• him as the author of the letter "Another farmer's view" which appeared last week; we do not suppose he would mind writing a letter of that kind but all the same he didn't, nor was he responsible for it le anyway.

DEATH.—;We regret to announce the death of Mr Thos Hill, an early settler and esteemed resident of this township, which occurred on Monday morning last. A few days since he was troubled with bleeding at the nose to such an extent that the services of a doctor had to l,o .:atlef ;,,, -oho- -suc- ceeded for a time in stopping the flow,, but it commenced afresh and could nodi be checked, resulting in his death. 1 had resided on the gravel road a -out three miles from town for a : good many years, and was a man of a quiet, retiring disposition. He leaves sever- al sons and daughters to mourn his demise. .! A SOUTHERN SCENE.—The Wawanessa, Man., Enterprise refers to a son of Mr John Tamblyn, Hallett, in the following:— We had the extreme pleasure on Thurs- day of taking a look throngh Mrs F. A. Tamblyn's conservatory. This is a beauti- ful spot, and reminds one forcibly of the sunny sone where treesand plants blossom forth all the year round. Magnificent plants, many of which are in bloom, makes ns forget the Manitoba winterscene outside, and as we look around on so much beauty we feel transported to a clime where there are no snow or no cold north winds to freeze one's blood. Mr Tamblyn has been to great expense in collecting and raising such a rare and varied assortment of planta. There is probably not a finer collection of plants and bulbs in the province. We con- gratulate Mr and Mrs TambIyn in the pos. session of such a collection. Summerhill The W. A. M. A. met at Mrs G. M. Kilty's on Thursday of last week.

Messrs Lovett and Wil- liams are entitled to a vote of thanks from travellers, they having plowed the road from this place to Clinton. Mr Geo. Hill sold a line horse the other day. Several from here attended the Orange County meeting held at Exeter last week. Hensall NOTES—The recent thaws have much improved the roads, thus facilitating teaming of which there is much yet to do. Miss Smith has moved to Rannie's Block. The quarterly official board of the Hensall Circuit met in the church, Hensall, on Saturday last; the financial returns were well up. Rev. H. J. Fair was extended, by the. Quarterly Board, a unanimous invitutioe to re- main the third conference year, whilst the conference was petitioned to re- turn Mr McKinley, B. C., fora second year.

DISTURBANCE.—Passengers on Fri- day's train from Kincardine to Wing- ham—Conductor McCallum—were an- noyed by a disturbance created on the train by a number of toughs who had everything their own way, and com- pelled the brakeman to ride on the top of one of the passenger cars for a con- siderable distance- The night was very cold, and the brakeman suffered in consequence. The roughs escaped at the time, but summons were issued for their apprehension, and the case was set down for trial at Brussels, on Wed- nesday; owing to some informality it was adjourned. The roughs will find that it doesn't pay to "monkey with a railroad."
