What a Methodist .Minister
Thinks.
Rev, Hugh Johnston, lately pastor
Of the Metropolitan church, Toronto,
received a call to a church in Washing-
ton, and the fact that he is a stiff Con-
ervative did not prevent him annex-
• ing himself to the United States,,as he
preached his farewell sermon on Sun-
" day last, in the course of which he ad-
,
vanced the following sentiments :-
.
"'I recognize no change of principle
convictionsi
or n transferring my ser-
.
"' vices from the Methodist church of
CianacIa to that of the Methodist church
in the United States. Methodism is
orke the world over. We preach the
;same doctrines, sing the same hymns,
'',^!,',•enjoy the same peculiar means of grace.
, Nor am I troubled in the matter of
4"d:welling under another form of gov-
erment. I am going to a sister na-
tion, and there are so many things at
,work to divide and separate that we
,:should be glad to nourish everything
',that helps to cement the bonds of
,:peace. 1 have no sympathy with the
prejudices and animosities that are
sometimes cherished, and that are so
' contrary to the spirit of the Gospel.
The United States and Canada! palsied
•be the tongue that would stir up strife
between them ! We are one in inte-
rest. We belong to the same British
" race. We have a common origin, a
•common speech, and a common faith.
Whatever the form of government, we
are still one people. Whatever the
.manifest destiny of Canada may be,
Mir intellectual, moral and spiritual
relations must be international."

The government is evidently deter-

in the tariff, as several proposed re-
,

The regular sitting of the Division
Court was held on Friday last, His
Honor Judge Doyle presiding. The
• following cases were disposed of:-
Titing John.son-An action by Thos,
Tipling against Geo. Johnson on an
account. The deft, counterclaiming
on an account against plff. There be-
ing a demand for further particulars
of the plff's. claim, the case was ad-
journed till next court.
Tolton Bros. v Taylor -Action on a
note given by the deft., Andrew Tay-
lor, in favor of the Offs. as payment
for a pea harvester, purchased in the
summer of 1891. The deft., whilst not
disputing the note, set up as a defence
a guarantee given by the agent of
plffs., Thos. Brown, given the note was
signed. Judgment for deft.
.itfaniung v Baker -Action for the value
of a binder. The plff. and deft. made
a bargain for the sale and purchase of
a binder for $70, which afterwards fell
through. The deft. proposed to find a
purchaser, but no other price than the.
above was mentioned. The deft, after-
wards sold the binder and removed the
same from plffs. farm without consult-
ing the plff. or afterwards accounting
to him. The plff. brought action for
what he considered the value of the
machine. The deft. produced in
court a note for $50, which he had paid
for the plff, and alleged that he had
not made any more out of the trans-
action and that he was simply acting
as the agent of the plff. Judgment for
the deft.
Frost & Wood v Couch -Action for $40,
damages of the conversion of a horse
claimed by the plffs. from the deft.
under a lien note made by john Mude,
late of Holmesville. The horse in
question was alleged to have been
taken by Stanley, the plffs. agent,
from Mr Butler, of Goderich township,
for a mower, and afterwards sold to
Mude, who traded the same to J. W.
Hill, who afterwards disposed of it to
Wm Young, and from him it passed
to the deft. The defences were that
the plff's lien was invalid by virtue of
51 vic., chap. 41, that no demand and
refusal was proven, and that the plffs,
through their agent being aware of
the dealings by the various parties
through whose hands the horse passed,
were now estopped through negligence
from setting up their lien. Judgment
reserved.
Coulthard, Scott & Co. v Rattenbury-An
action similar to that of Frost v Couch,
brought by the plffs. through their
agent, Wre Stanley, against Wm Rat-
tenbury. Judgment reserved.
Church Notes,
Ontario St. Church is advertising for
a Choir leader and caretaker.
Rev. J.H. Fairlie, rector of St. Paul's
church, preached in Seaforth last
(Thursday) evening.
Rev. J. Edge, Acton, preaches in the
Methodist Church, Seaforth, on Sun-
day, and will probably drop in on his
Clinton friends, on Monday.
Mrs J. Gibbings and Miss M. Shipley
were the delegates appointed to repre-
sent Ontario St. Epworth League, at
the convention in Toronto this week.
Rev. Dr. McDonald, of Seaforth, re-
turned home from Toronto last week,
and his uumerous friends will be pleas-
ed to learn that he is very much im-
proved in health.
The scholars of Rattenbury street
Methodist Sabbath school are prepar-
ing for their anniversary, which pro-
mises to be especially good, to be held
on Monday evening, April 3rd.
' The special services are being con-
tinued in Ontario St. church, and are
increasing in interest nightly. Already
several have "come over on the Lord's
side," and others are under deep con-
viction.
The Board of Victoria St. church,
Goderich, have given a unanimous in-
vitation to Rev. Mr Irvine, now, of
Hensall, to become their pastor. Should
he be sent there, the Goderich people
will find him an excellent pastor and
preacher.
Rev. T. L. Kiernan, who has been
residing in Listowel for some weeks,
has accepted a call to the pastorate of
the Congregational churches of Ho -
wick and Turnberry. Mr Kiernan
was a student of Knox College, Toron-
to, and has recently graduated.
The Angelos, a four-page paper, is-
sued under the auspices of the E. L. of
C.E. of Rattenbury street church, has
made its appearance. It is filled en-
tirely with original matter, the editori-
als, essays, etc., possessing just as
much literary merit as those that ap-
pear in more pretentious religious pub-
lications. The paper is really a very
creditable issue.
The Band of Hope will hold an open
meeting in Rattenbury St. church
this (Friday) evening. Besides the
program of dialogues, recitations,
choruses and motion songs, which the
children furnish, addresses will be giv-
en by Mr Houston, principal of the
Collegiate Institute, and Mr Lough,
principal of the Model School. A col-
lection will be taken up.
Tho resignation of the Rev. E. W.
Hughes, of St. Paul's church, Wing -
ham, was accepted, the term expiring
about the first week in April. The
rev. gentleman pnrposes engaging in
missionary work in New York city for
one year, previous to which he will
take a well-earned rest and a trip to
England. He is specially adapted for
this class -of work, and also takes a
deep,.special interest in temperance
work.
There was a large attendance, on
Monday evening, at the "at home"
given by the E. L. of C. E. of Ratten-
bury St. Church, The room has been
permanently provided with lace cur-
tains, and other decorations added to
its home -like appearance. The pro-
gram consisted of an instrumental duet

Sibley and Whaley; duet by, Mr Sibley
and Mrs Chowen; Solo by Miss Rum -
ball, violin and flute duet by Messrs
Emmerton and Taylor, violin solo by
Mr Herworth, and recitations by Miss
L. Washington and Miss Daisy Doherty.
Motto cards were distributed, there be-
ing two of each motto, andthe holder of
one card was expected to find the hold-•
er of the other. Mr Manning was
chairman; after the program had. been
executed refreshments were served
The evening was pleasantly and prof!-
, ably spent'.

BETTER. -We are pleased to state
that Mr J. B. Runiball has so far re-
covered from his recent illness as'again
to be able to be at his place of business,
he being there yesterday (Thursday)
afternoon for the first time.
THE TWENTY-FIVE CLUB. -The min-
strel performance, to be given on East-
er Monday (April 3rd) in the town hall,
promises to be the event of the season,
and we would advise lovers of such to
keep themselves disengaged for that
date, as it promises to be one of the
best performances ever held in Clinton.
ACCIDENT. -The other day, while a
son of Mr Edward Snell was going
down a cellar -way in the barn of Mr
James Fair, he fell head foremost and
landed on the side of his head; he was
rendered unconscious, in which con-
dition he remained for a considerable
time, and has not even yet got 'over
the effects of the fall.
RECOVERED. -The other day a lady
with her little baby hoarded the 6.10
train at Stratford for Goderich and
got off at Mitchell, leaving behind her
on the window sill a good fat purse
which happened to fall into good hands,
that of Conductor Hushin, who restor-
ed it to the owner very shortly after,
much to the relief of her mind.
Too FREE FOR THEIR GOOD. -The
other evening several youths from
Bayfield came over here and ordered
some oysters at Anderson's restaurant.
While Mr. Anderson was busy prepar-
ing them the boys went through his
stock and helped themselves liberally
thereto; the matter was placed in Con-
stable Wheatley's hands, who secured
a compromise from the youths.
,TRIFLES. -The latest version of an
old 'couplet is: -Early to ryes, and late
to bed, will make of your nose a card-
inal red. Council meets next Monday
evening. The drifting snow delayed
the London train on Monday night,
and ram and drifts delayed the Tues-
day morning trains badly. Wednesday
was the beginning of spring by the
almanac, but by the look of the land-
scape it was a midwinter day. When
a man's feet slip on the icy side -walk
as several dict on Tuesday, the r emarks
he makes generally indicate that he
also had a slip of the tongue.
CONSCIENCE STRICKEN. -Mr J. A.
Nelles, of Guelph, formerly of Clinton,
has received through the post a lady's
gold pen with a peari handle, accom-
panied by the foliowing note: -"Mr
J. A. Nelles, the accompanying pen
was stolen from your store on the south
side of Wyndham street, about ten
years ago, I think, perhaps more. I
now return it trusting to your mercy
and generosity forforgiveuess. Yours,
in sincere penitence, The Thief." The
pen had never been used and Mr Nel-
les thinks the unfortunate person be-
came conscience stricken shortly after
the act.
STALLION Soen.--Mr Oreo. Whitely,
of Seaforth, Who used to own the
stallion, Clear Grit, has bought of Mr
Wm. Doherty, of Clinton, the hand-
some light bay stallion, Young Sidney,
record 2.31, as a three-year-old. The
price paid was $2,500. Young Sidney
is a son of the famous California sire,
sold at Cleveland on Tuesday. Me
Whitely had agreed to buy the colt if
it could show a 2.20 clip, and on Tues-
day morning, in the presence of a
number of persons, several of whom
held stop -watches on it, it made the
remarkable time of 15 seconds for an
eighth of a mile, on a snow track,
which was much better than Mr
Whitely had expected. Mr J. L. Do-
herty, who has been its trainer, was
also its driver in the test, and it showed
up in splendid form.
THE CASH SYSTEM. -The Canadian
Dry Goods Store Review considers the
question of "cash vs. credit" so impor-
tant that in its spring number it de-
votes over a page to a consideration of
the question, and approvingly quotes
in full the circular recently issued by
the Estate John Hodgens,of Clinton,to
its patrons, on the question o cash
business. The Review intimates that
the experiment will be watched with
interest by business men generally.
The firm in question have just had one
month's experience of the cash system,
and express themselves as thoroughly
satisfied with the change; their custo-
mers have accepted the new mode
of doing business gracefully, nay
cheerfully, and the firm tell us that
their business exceeds their expecta-
tions, so that they regard the change
as a good ope. They had anticipated
considerable difficulty and objection,
but they have not met with it. We
might say that Messrs. Taylor & Sons,
who introduced the cash system at the
same time, report practically the same
experience, and have not the slightest
desire to return to the 'old and unsatis-
factory method of doing business on
credit.
Orucefield:
ANNIVERSARY. -You will not forget
the Y.P.S.C.E. anniversary services in
Union church, next Sunday and Mon-
day evening. Rev. Dr. Dickson, ex -
president of the Provincial Union, con-
ducts the Consecration service on Sab-
ath evening, and besides his practical
ddress, takes charge of the Question
Drawer on Monday. Good music will
e furnished.
Norns.-Miss Jennie Jameson has
one to Toronto to the millinery open-
ings. We think here that our veteran
post master is duly entitled to a new
officewe hope the Government at
Ottawa will eatiMder the atter.
Melton of Interest.
NOT STRICTLY LOCALS, RUT STILL, MAY
130 Fort SIAM.
KILLND or. -Jt is reported that the
Severe weather and deep snow this
winter he,s killed off the pavtridges and
quails in411 parts of the country.
ASSESSMENTS. -The assessor is now
on his rounds. Let every ratepayer
see that he is properly assessed, and
pay more attention to municipal mat-
ters. Aid the assessor in his work,,
and there will be no Court of Revision
difficulties.
PEDESTRIANS' RIGHTS. -Pedestrians
have a right to cross the streets on the
cross walks, and the driver is respon-
sible for. the safety of those on foot at
such places. This seems to be forgot-
ten by many drivers. Pedestrians
have also the right to walk in the road
if they wish to, without beingforced
into the deep snow by passiqg rigs, an-
other thing that is sometinibs forgot-
ten by drivers.
EASTER. -Easter falls this year on
the first Sunday in April, which is three
weeks earlier than last year. After
such a vigorous winter as this, the wish
is doubtless general that an early
Easter may mean an early spring also.
HE "BUYS" YOUR GRAIN. -If any of
our readers are taken in by the travel-
ling fakirs, it is not because we have
not time and time again warned them
against it through the columns of the
NEW ERA. At the present time there
is a plausible scamp, or perhaps a dozen
of them, going through the country
with a new racket, but worked on the
old skin -game principles. He makes a
contract with each farmer for his
wheat, agreeing. to pay $1 a bushel de-
livered at the nearest station whenever
he desires it. In order to bind the con-
tract he pays a little down and agrees
to pay the remainder when the wheat
is delivered. He only, approaches
those who have large quantities. He
get the contracts and will hold them,
never calling for the wheat, but will
worry the farmer into giving him a
nice little sum to release the contract.
Brussels.
COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. -Nine mag-
istrates on Wednesday heard the case
of malicious wounding laid by Duncan
McCallum, a Grand Trunk conductor,
running between Kihcardine and Palm-
erston. The defendants were Robert
Durnion, hotel keeper, Seaman Laird,
barber, and one McGee, all of Kincard-
ine. The charge was that the three
defendants assulted the conductor on
hi[rain on Feb. 10, and severely injur-
ed him. The defendants were in the
baggage compartment, and when the
conductor entered one of them locked
the door and Durnion struckMcCallum
repeatedly, Laird holding the conduct-
or and McGee standing by. The men
were committed for trial. Mr. John
King, Q. C., of Berlin, for the prosecu-
tion; Mr. P. O'Connor, Q. C., of Walk-
erton, for the defence.
Hensall
NOTES. -Mrs W. Colwell and daugh-
ter, who have been visiting friends in
Ripley, arrived home Thursday morn-
ing. Mr and Mrs Wm Stoneman ar-
rived home on Tuesday from Gorrie,
where they had been spending a week
with friends. Mr D. Weismiller, mer-
chant, will occupy Mr Marshall's house,
vacated by Mr G. T. Arnold. Mr Jas.
Taylor, of Hibbert, has purchased two
lots from Mr T. Berry for a good sum,
and will erect a house on it the coming
summer. Inspector Tom visited the
villages achools on Thursday. Mr J.
Myers, "who has leased a house and
butcher shop in Zurich, has sold his
house, on Richmond Street, to his
brother Charles. Mr Jas. Dalrymaple
has started housekeeping, and is de-
lighted with it. The Hensall curlers
defeated the Seaforth juniors on the
Hensall rink, on Monday evening.
Political Points.
Sir John Abbott has again been heard
from. He was in Naples when writing and
in good health and spirits.
Forty-two is Mr Gladstone's latest ma-
jority on a vote in the House. The Home
Rule Bill seems pretty safe.
Mr Campbell (Kent) will ask the Govern.
ment what sum has been spent by the Gov-
ernment in promoting the cultivation of
two -rowed barley.
It is understood that the Manitoba
school question will be brought np on
Monday next. If disposed of at once Sir
'John Thompson will probably sail for the
old country on the following Friday.
The Dominion Government has received
a memoriaLfor transmission to Parliament
from the Manitoba Legislature asking it to
enact a law prohibiting the importation,
manufasture and sale of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage into the Province of
Manitoba.
There are six Presbyterians in President
Cleveland's new Cabinet. The Presby-
terian statesmen of the United States are
more fortunate than the Presbyterian
members of Parliament at Ottawa. They
have been entirely ignored In the make-up
of Sir John Thompson's Cabinet, balanced
though it ie alleged to be on "religions
grounds."
Still the petitions for tariff reduction
come in. Monday Mr Davin presented six
of theee, praying for the abolition of taxes
on binder twine, coal oil, fenoe wire and
other necessaries for farmers. These were
from farmers in the Northwest Territories
and Mr Marr (British Columba) presented
a couple from 'British Columbia.
The bye -election to the Ontario legisla-
ture at Toronto, on Tuesday, resulted in
return of Dr. G. S. Ryerson by a plurality
of 591 over Dr. W. W. Ogden, the Reform
candidate, Mr Thompson, the third candi-
date, securing 636 votes. The Liberals
managed to capture this seat in the pre-
vious eleotion, but it had always been
Conservative heretofore.
The long-delayed and mnoh-hoarded bill
for the revision of the Dominion Franchise
Aot was bronght down by MinisterCostigan
Mondayafternoon. It caused a widespread
feeling of disappointment on both sides of
the House. It does not touch the inequali-
ties or the cumbersome and expensive pro-
visions of the bill now in force. Mr Laurier
rose and voiced the sense of disappointment
which he was sure would prevail became of
the measure, Last session the Secretary of
State promised that a thorough revision of
the measure Would take place, but only a
• change or two in details •is made. The
measure will remain as bad as it is to -day.
