It car- ries with it a salary of $1200 a year, but no manse. When the 5TEW ERA quotes a Wind- sorpaper as authority for the statement that there has been a split in certain political quarters, in Windsor, and that Mr Birmingham was sent up to heal it, it has fair reason to'believe the statement to be true, especially when the matter Is referred to in the daily papers also, as this particular matter was, and an attempt to fasten a chat ge of misrepresentation on the NEW ERA comes with very bad grace from a paper that does not offer a tittle of proof to the contrary. The Temperance Committee of the Generak Conference recommends that as a third party did not seem possible, and could not be successfully carried out, the Conference should urge temp- erance men to go to the primary meet- ings of both political parties, and see to it that staunch temperance men are ° chosen by both parties, so that no one need be asked to sacrifice his pi edilec- tions. This is a wise move. The third party movement has always seemed • to us to be an injudicious action, for the reason that if any advanced temp- erance legislation is to be secured it can better be obtained from one or the other of the present parties, than through independent action. The Salvation Army, Clinton, will hold special meetings next Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 15th and 16th, at the usual hours, conducted by Ensign Malbty, of Seaforth, to which every- body is cordially invited to be present, come early and secure a seat. Silver collection all day; proceeds for the Clinton corps. The officers of the W.F.M.S. of Rat- tenbury street church, for the ensuing year are as follows :—Pres. Mrs J. W.

On Sunday next the pulpit of Rat- tenbury street church will be occupied by Mr E. A. Coombs, of Clinton Conti• giate, both morning and evening.— Though a stranger to a Clinton con- gregation, Mr Coombs has filled very acceptably the pulpit of many churches in Guelph Conference, and those who hear him are. not likely to be disap- pointed. He will also supply the pul- pit of North street church, Goderich, on the morning of Oct. 14. The annual meeting of the Ratten- bury street Mission Circle, last Tues- day evening, was a profitable and plea- sant one. Misses S. and E. Threer sang a duet; Mr Cooper gave a report of the doings of the Circle, with mo- neys received and expended. Mr H. Foster gave a very interesting address on the experience of Miss Whitfield, missionary, has had in trying to return to her former field of labor in Central Africa, and how, after frequent at- tempts, with a number of armed men, The activity of the Conservatives may or may not indicate the near ap- proach of a general election, but as the present house does not expire un- til 1806, we incline to the opinion that the elections are not in the near fu- ture. It is difficult to see what the ' Government has to gain by haste. The country is not likely to be any worse off than it is now, and may be a great deal better off. The Govern- ment has everything to gain and no- thing to lose by waiting. Possibly Sir John thinks he can guagelhe strength of the Patron movement -better after it has shown itself in connection with the Local Legislature.

On Thursrlay evening of last week the. lecture room of Willis church was filled with an appreciative audience, gathered to hear reports of delegates who had attended the recent Christian Endeavor Convention in Cleveland. The chair was filled by Mr McTavish, the able president of the local associa- tion. The first address was by Mr Harold, of Hensall, who in eloquent, and at times flowery language, recited the general business of the convention. Misses Miller and Stevenson and Messrs Holmes and Bruce, of Rattenbury St. League, then rendered a quartette, "There is sunshine in the soul," in a creditable style. Miss McEwan fol- lowed with an admirable and well pre- pared address. Mt' Foster, as repre- senting the Rattenbury street Metho- dist church organization, was to have given au address, but being unavoid- ably absent , R. Holmes took his place. The occasion was a profitable one. ENDEAVOR MEETING.—The Huron County Christian Endeavor Union will hold its third annual convention in the Rattenbury street Methodist church, Clinton, on Thursday and Frida.7, October 4th and 5th. Preparations are being made to receive a large dele- gation of Huronites, and judging from the partial list of speakers and subjects given below, a successful convention is assured:—"Some aspects of Christ's work," will be taken by A.

Beithf M.P. for West Durham, has been renominated by the Liberals. It is said that Sir Hader Langevin will not present himself for re-elecition in Three Rivers, but wishes to retire from public life. Mr J. C. Rosevear, of the township of • Hathilton, has been selected as a candidate for the Renee of Commons by the Patrons of 'West Northumberland. • D'Alton McCarthy says the Patrons of Induatry will have a majority in the next Dothinion House, without a doubt. He also says there is no donbt that Peter Mitchell will carry Northumberland at the next election, and that Hon. Mr Foster be defeated in Queens. The Attorney -General of Ontario has given out his finding in the case of Mr Grundy, formerly Deputy Registrar for Peterboro. Basing hie conclusions on the eitidence before the commiseioner, and the report of the commissioner, he can see no reason for the interference of the depart- ment in any way. We believe that every intelligent Conser- vative to -day realizes that a great blunder was made when Deilton McCarthy was sol- emnly read out of the party. They do not all admit it, but they all know it, and their policy ought to be to rectify the blunder. Mr McCarthy le a man of ideas, find has the courage of his convietiona.—Montreal Star, Cona. 'Twill be a battle royal if a Patron gets in the field in opposition to Clarke Wallace. West Yorkai present member has always had a majority somewhere around the thousand, and his position in. the Cabinet, attained since he last went to the constitu- ency, will not weaken his hold on the rid- ing. Even a Patron would have to make a rustling fight to keep within sight at the flnish.—Toronto Star. Ration of cholera forty years ago. Mr Bowe was the Chairman of the Board of Elealth, and won the affectionate admiration of the citizens by his skill and firm nese in dealing with the emergency, as well as by thepersonal courage which led him to expose himself 1 cooly to the terrible contagion in the discharge of his duty we are told, have been added to the roll in ten years, an increase of sixty per cent. within a period during whioh the popule.- tion of the country has increased by less than twelve per cent. This is phenomenal progress truly. Even now Methodism numbers more adherents in Canada than any other ohuroh save the Roman Catholic, and, if present rate of development con- tinues, the Oatholio Church itself, with all tbe advantages it possesses in the almost complete domination enjoyed in Quebec, will ere long be surpassed. But it is not in membership alone that advancement is bring made. The missionary revenue was greater in '93 than ten years ago by 356,- 000; there aro 77,000 more Sunday school scholars than tbere were a decade ago; the number of preachers has increased by over 300 in the same period, and the value of educational property by upwards of half a million dollars. Truly Methodists may reflect on the past with gratitude and look forward to the future with hope. The total membership, including those on trial, is 260,953, an in, vase of 8,772 for the past year.

The number of min. isters shows a net increase of 69; there are ip all 453 probationers, and 1,543 ordained ministers, a grand total of 1,996, and an inorease of 248.

The book and pnblishing committee w,ill recommend the reduction in price of the Christian Guardian from $2 to $1 a year. It is said that dissatisfaction exists in the matter of the editorship of the Guerdian, and Rev. J. W. Annie is mentioned as the successor to Dr Dewart. Among the features of Tueeday was the receipt of a communication, through Rev Dr. Grant, from the Presbyterian General Assembly, in reference to the "odious dis- criminations" of the Dominion Govern- ment, as well as other Governments, against Chinese immigration. Various reports were presented, and an eloquent speech was made by Rev Dr. Porter, the fraternal delegate from the African M. E. church conference. In tbe evening the fraternal delegates from Great Britain and the Unit- ed States were heard. AiltertiOcultut#. September 4,c -3.89k. "WI 134A17TIPULN‘. hil,G.CM.1111111N,Icni h EYE SPECIALIST, . OICO HOS LINE OF 87 King St. East, Toronto. Where is John Aspinwall? . A few days ago the detective department re- ceived a letter from the lieutenant of the 7th United States Cavalry at Fort Riley, Kas., ask,ng for information about a man named John Aspinwall, who the officer understood was drowned in the bay. in December 1881, as they desired to communicate with his friends. Insp. Stark made diligent onouiries and found a most interesting state otaffairs.=—Afteraearoh- ing at the morgue, the registry, office and city hall, and finding no record of Aspinwall, he looked up the files of the newspapers. There he found au account of the mysterious disap- pearance of John Aspinwall from his boarding house, 76 Em torn avenue, stating he was a fore- man in the Street Railway Co. Again on Janu- ary 4th, 1882, an item mentioned that Aspinwall had been seen at Bond Lake, and afterwards at Richmond Hill, and it was stated he had pawn- ed a gold watch presented to him by the em- ployes of the Street Railway Company. It is said Aspinwall was afraid of arrest for embezz- ling money from the company. This is the re- sult, ()tithe Inspector's enquiries. and the ques- tion that is bothering him is, "Where is John Aspinwall?"t On Saturday Mr E. A. Coombs, of Clinton Collegiate, sat in the NEW ERA office, reading the Toronto Telegram, when his eye caught the above item, and he remarked, with a start, "Why, I can explain that." Being asked for particulars, he told the following story:— ."My father has the Win; Cook farm rented; it is lot 16, con. 2, township of Vaughan, about three miles from Rich- mond. Hill, and the post office is known as Carville. On Sundity, April 2nd, 1882, my parents having gone to church, my brother and I took &stroll out over the farm, and while in a bush near by, noticed a dark object beneath the ice in a shallow. pond. We got an axe, broke the iee, and found the object to be a man's body, with a heavy frieze overcoat on. The man had evidently been in the water some time. In his pocket was a. lettet from Miss Mary Aspinwall, Lodi, Mich., addressed to John Aspinwall; a street railway time- table, a pawn ticket for a gold watch, and one for a gold chain. We notified the coroner, who said an inquest was R9ss, Brussels; Miss Wilson, Hensall; not necessary, and the body was buried Miss McEwen, Clinton, and Miss Nel- in the Potter's field. . The sister was heMills, Lucknow. Selected addresses notified, and she came over to see us; will also be given by Rev. J.W. Holmes, we formed the impression, from what Clinton; Rev. Jos.

This was accepted. Mr W. T. Hall, a student of the third year in Theology, at pres- ent supplying Bayfield, read a sermon based on the text 2 Cor. 9, 15. The sermon was approved of, and Mr Hall certified to Knox College. The supply of Bayfield and Bethany for the next six months was left with the Home Mission Committee. Mr Acheson ask- ed that thereport of the Sunday School Cornmitteebe deferred until next meet- ing of Presbytery. This was agreed to. Rev. J. S. Henderson called the attention of the Presbytery to the ef- fort being made to remove the debt of Knox College at the approaching jubi- lee of that institution. After some discussion it was agreed that ministers bring this Matter before the congrega- tions in the way which seems best to them. Moderation in a call was grant- ed to Union church, Brucefleld.
