You will also see almost every oon- dition of socie@t�y, but in a few 'pointe one can observe a ,8ifference from older pieces. I think I shall like it very well, although I cannot speak in the highest terms of the weather since I came, for the winter has been unusually cold, and the spring has been unusually wet. One thing. I shall miss very much is the trees, There ate a good many along the north bank of the river, but they are all evergreens, and just now, when the sun is becoming more. ef- fective, and when one would delight in' the opening of the new green leaves, and the beauty of the fresh blossoms, and also the welcome appearance of the grass, one is forced to be contented with the old and un- changing view of nature, in many respects. I am told that in June, the grass is all months' vacation in England and the burnt up, and the leaves of the low shrubs Continent, become parched, on account of the,soil be- ing quite stony.

District No. 24. ing a proposed re -adjustment of some of the circuits of the Methodist church. There may be nothing definite in any of the propositions, but they are under consideration to a certain extent. For instance, Bayfield, which has for .the past year been a two-man circuit, will likely be remodelled so as to lighten the work and dispense with the ser- vices of a young man. Then Alma appointment belongs to Seaforth, and Turner's to Ontario St., Clinton; it is proposed to add these two to Londes- boro and make it a two-man circuit. The entertainment in the Rattenbury St. church, last Thursday evening, given by the Mission Band, was well attended and all were amply repaid by the rendition of an excellent program. Miss Anna Irwin read a report of the working of the Society, showing a good membership ; Mss Hattie Rum - ball and Elsie Kinsman gave beautiful solos ; Miss Mable Doherty read a humorous rendition of Daniel in the lion's den..while Rev. J. Livingstone, of Listowel], gave an excellent address, not strictly confined to Mission work, but to church work generally. The choir of the church gave some good selections during the evening, which had been specially prepared and were rendered • in that excellent manner which has made the choir of this church famous. Rev. J. Walker Shilton oc- cupied the chair. The annual meeting of District No. 24, I. O. G. T., was held in the Temperance Hall, Lucknow; on Tuesday last. There. was a good attendance, about 80 delegates being present. Mr F. S. Spence, Grand Chief Templar, and Mrs W. L. Scott, Grand Superintendent of Juvenile Temples, both of Toronto, were present. The reports from the lodges were quite encouraging, in many . of them quite an addition to the membership having been made during the year. The District Secretary's report show. ed that there were 23 lodges in the District; from 16 lodges returns had been received, ehowin 'a membershipof 949. The reports of the Finance Committee tee and the Treas- urer showed the district Lodge to be in a good position financially, having a snug bal- ance on hand, and all accounts paid. The committee on the state of the order made a few recommendations, which were adopted by the meeting. A resolution of sympathy with Bro. F. Metcalf, District Superinten- dent of Juvenile Temp!ars, was adopted and a telegram sent him. Mr Metcalf was taken ill while on hie way to the railway station to attend the meeting.

THE LIBERAL CONVENTION. For the coming Liberal oonvention each riding is entitled to send five official dele- gates, in addition to the Liberal member or the Liberal candidate at theeriet Domin- ion election.

The tickets will be good for three days pre- ceding the 20th of June, and for three days after the close of the convention, Sundays not included.
