The Trades and Labor Congress of Toronto had very little to do when it passed a resolution of sympathy with Debs, the American agitator, and it will not win the respect or good will of Canadians who support any honest attempt to help and improve the Labor interest. The papers that allude to West Hu- ron as "really a Liberal constituency," don't know what they are saying. It never was aLiberal constituency, not- / withstanding,the phenomenal majori- ty of M. 0. Cameron, in 1::1, of 379. It was originally formed with the in- tention of being a safe Conservative constituency, and.has always been re= garded as Conservative. although held at times by the Liberals. It is semi -officially announced [ that there will be no- election in West Hu- ron until the house is dissolved. We are not going to say this is due to cow- ardice on the part of the government, for we do not care an atom what mo- tive influences the government in this respect, but we think they are really entitled to credit. If West Huron happens to be unrepresented this ses- sion, it will make very little difference, so long as a . Liberal represepts it the next. 'shush (AIxnes, Rev. Mr Robb, of Denver, Colorado will occupy the Baptist pulpit neat , Sunday everting. Bishop O'Connor, of London, confirm- ed several candidates at the $t. .jo- seph's R. C. Church, on Tuesday. The social evening at the manse on Friday last, was well atte aded, and all present appeared to enjoy themselves yery much. The Catholic clergy of the counties of Huron, Perth, Oxford and Norfolk will meet in convention at Stratford on Tuesday, Sept. 24th. On Sept. 2nd Rev. Henry W. Mote, D.D., pastor of the Congregational church, Wingham, was united in wed- lock with Mrs Letitia Scott, of Owen Sound. Mr M. D. Coltman, who has been pastor of the Baptist churches of Clin- ton and base line, returns to college Oct. 1st.' He preaches his farewell sermon on Sunday, the 29th inst. Miss McWhinney has been appoint. ed leader of Willis church choir, and commences her duties on Sunday next. She is an excellent singer and a musician of high rank. Rev. Mr Ranton, M.A., a distinguish- ed evangelist from across the borders, will commence evangelistic services in the Methodist church, Kincardine, on Sunday, Sept. 29th. The meetings will be continued for two weeks. Thanksgiving services will be held in St. Paul's church on Sunday next, conducted by Rev. Mr Moorehouse, of Christ church, London. The church will be suitably decorated for the occasion. Rev Mr Parke will take Mr Moorehouse's work in London. The annual meeting of the W.C.T.U. of Ontario St. church will be held in the basement of the church on Thurs- day, Sept. 16th, at 3 p.m., after which an at home will be held, when the members of the union will be enter- tained. A full report of the year's work will be given, there will also be a program of music and readings. A grand musical and literary enter- tainment will be given at Londesboro, under the auspices of the Methodist church choir, at 8 p.m., on the evening of Friday, Sept. 20th. Music will be furnished by the Ontario St. choir, Clinton, and Methodist choir, Kinburn; also duets and quartettes from Blyth and Turner's churches. These will be interspersed with solos and recitations during the evening. The choir is spar- ing no pains to make this one of the best entertainments ever given in Londesboro. LOCAL UNION.—The Executive com- mittee of the Local Union met Tues- daa evening at Mr H. Foster's resi- dence. The next Local Union meeting will be held on Oct. 4th in the Baptist church. The program is one of unusu- al interest, the subjects being thor- oughly practical and in line with the times; they are assigned to two com- petent societies—Londesboro and Rat- tenbury St. E. L. of C. E. The sub- jects are: -1st, "The social life of Christ;" 2nd, "Saturday, and its rela- tion to the observance of the Lord's Day." A live discussion will follow the treatment of each subject, in which discussion all are at liberty to partici- pate. Reserve the date Oct, 4th. The celebrated Keir Hardie, one of the Socialist leaders of England, got sat upon in Chicago:the other day in a manner that rather took his breath away. In the course of an address he denounced the execution of the An- archists in that: city, and expressed the hope that Socialist views would form the religion of the coming cen- tury. Some ministers who were pre- sent jumped on hirn with both feet, and properly so. and he left the room in disgust. HURON CENTRAL EXHIBITION — Fortunately the great storm which Prof. Wiggins said some years would take place during this month, will be a thin of the past when the great Hu- ron Central Exhibition opens its doors on Sept. 24th and 25th. The directors have continued the policy adopted some years ago, and present a purely Agricultural Fair, free from all ob- jectionable "attractions," and have expended their surplus funds in adding to the Prize List. The entries already received are far in excess of any other year at the same date, and the con- tinual demand for prize lists and en- try forms are c( rtain indications of a successful fair. All that is now re- quired to make the year 1895 a red letter one in the history of the most successful Agricultural Society in Hu- ron is fine weather, Benmiller CONTRACT FINISHED.—JOB. Naegle, h'as completted his contract with the township for the erection of a new stone abutment to one of our little bridges in the village. It is a fine piece of work, and does credit to the contractor. AERMOTOR.—Our village blacksmith, Jas. Jewitt, is erecting a home-made aermotor (he calls it a windmill) over his smithy at the cross-roads. The thing is a "whopper" and is intended to run his lathes and do lots of other work in his well-known establishment. COLLISION.—On Thursday W. Good, who was coming to the village in a road cart, had his vehicle overturned by the careless driving of the occupant of a buggy, who was racing with an- other buggy on the highway. The cart was smashed to pieces, and Mr Good was thrown out on theroad, nar- rowly escaping being setiously injured, but fortunately had but a few slight scratches. It is high time that this ast driving on the public roads should bo put a stop to. Presbytery of Huron. The Presbytery of Huron met in Willis church, Clinton, on Tuesday, the 10th inst., the Rev Dr. McDonald, of Seaforth, presiding. It was decided to ask for the same grants as last year, in aid of all the supplemented congregations. A min- ute was adopted, expressing regret that the Rev Mr McKay had resigned the pastoral charge of Leeburn and Union Churches, satisfaction with his work during his pastorate, and hope that he might soon find another suit- able field of labor. Arrangements for missionary meet- ings were left to the sessions of the vario s congregations. Ministers were also enjoined to have at least one Sab- bath missionary service in their charg- es before the end of the year. Mr H. A. McPherson, theological student, at present assisting Dr. Mc- Donald, in Seaforth, read a discourse, which was cordially sustained by the Presbytery. Mr A. H. McLeod, of Brucefleld, asked to be recognized as a student for the ministry, and after the usual examination, his request was granted. The clerk stated that he had received notice from Mrs Gavin Ross, of Hen- sall, that she intended to appeal to the Synod of Hamilton and London, from the decision arrived at, in her case by the Presbytery, at its last meeting. A committee was appointed to confer with Mrs Ross, who was present. From their report, after conference, it appeared that Mrs Ross complained, not so much of the decision of Presby- tery, as of certain statements of the Moderator of Hensel] Session. The appeal was, therefore, withdrawn, and a new committee appointed to look further into the case, and to bring about a settlement, if possible, said committee to report at the next regu- lar meeting of Presbytery. NEWS NOTES ENDEAVOR CONVENTION THE ANNUAL COUNTY MEETING AT BLYTH. During last week the vil- lage of Blyth was thronged with Christian Endeavorers and Epworth Leaguers who came to attend the fourth annual convention of the Huron County Christian Endeavor Union. In every way did it excel the previous Conventions held in Wing - ham, Hensall and Clinton, and every delegate rejoiced at the increased in- terest and usefulness of the great Christian Endeavor movement. The opening session was 'held on Tuesday evening in the Presbyterian church, there being about 600 people present. As one glanced around the church the work of the Local Societies was very noticable for having the de- corations arranged so nicely, in fact, the entire church basement trod rill was very suitably decorated with flowers, greens, mottoes, bunting, etc., and presented a very fine appearance. A mammoth arch had been built at the entrance to the church and in it hung a banner "C. E. Welcome," so that one felt at home the moment they entered. The Reception Committee met all trains and conveyed the delegates to the Convention church by means of a large cab decorated with evergreens and .bearing,,two large signs, ' To the Convention.' The president, Rev. J. Edge, of God- erich, occupied the chair during the opening session and after devotional exercises and, a few opening remarks he called upon Dr. Ferguson, of Blyth, President of the '95 Local Committee, to give the address of welcome, and right royally did the doctor, on behalf of the Local Societies and the Chris- tian people of Blyth, welcome the delegates, and assured them that their invitation was meant when they ex- tended it and that they meant it now. Rev. Jas. A. Anderson, of Goderich, then gave an address, "The kind of people I want in my church." The ad- dress was practical and full of choice thoughts. He said that it was the useful rather than the ornamental Christian that the church needs to- day—men and women who stand by delegates adjourned to the Methodist Tuesday morning of last week, aged 40 their convictionsand bebusy athechurch where tea had been provided. years.

He said that in this the church and the local societies are Mr A. R. walker, of the Huron road, Hibbert, near Mitchell, was in Seaforth on Wednesday, looking after a horse and rig which were etolen.on Monday night. The horse was taken from Mr McMurray, and the boggy and harness from Mr Walker. As yet he has received no trace of the prop- erty, but is of the opinion that it was taken this way, Sir Charles Rivers -Wilson presented the G. T. R. Institute of Stratford, with £211 on his recent visit. John Craig, formerly a prominent con- tractor, of Hamilton, tried to hang himself in the police cells of that city. The trade returns for the year ending July 30th last show imports of $105,557,000 and exports of 8106,440,000. The desrease compared with tbe preceding year ie over 88,000,000 in exports and $7,000,000 in im- pede. A piece of sixteen -inch timber was found wedged across the Toronto Water Works conduit in one of the manholes, and eight. een inches of sand were discovered in the bottom. This is believed to account for the accident to the conduit. So far as known, the only Masonic burl• al rites that were ever spoken over the body of a woman were delivered at Novi, Mich., when the body of Mrs Mary Bush was committed to the earth. Her ancestors bad all been Masons, her husband a Knight Templar her sons Freemasons and she had always been a strong partisan of the Mas onic Order. Later particulars from Seal Island indi. cate that the North American Commercial Company have taken about 15,000 skins, the maximum limit imposed, during the -season closed August 15. News received early in the season led to the belief that there was an unusual scarcity of Beale in the islands, and the Commercial Company would not be able to take more than a fraction of the quota, but subsequent re- ports show no material decrease in the number herding on the islands since last year. jest of the next address given by Mr. John Kerr of Winghaw. U•reat credit is due Mr. Kerr for having prepared his subject on short notice and also for keeping Ms promise to the Executive by corning to the Convention,although in very poor health. His remarks were very practical and it was a faithful interpretation of the Divine command, "six days shalt thou work and rest the Seventh." Rev. Mr. Priest, President of the Baptist Young People's Union of Ontario and Quebec, was introduced to the Convention and extended their kindest greetings. Mr. Priest is to leave in a few months to enter India as a missionary. Rev. R. N. Burns, B. A. of Toronto, was now introduced. He gave an address on "Bible Study" which we would like very much to have printed in full but space will not permit of it. We hope the suggestions of Mr. Burns will be acted upon by every delegate. The report of the Boston Convention was given by Miss M. S. Washington, of Clinton. To listen to her one would almost imagine themselves at the Con- vention listening to such orators as Wooley, Moody, Clark, and j eeint; the sights of Boston. We hope to see the report in print before many weeks. "Systematic Visitation" as an aid to the pastor was the next address, given by H. A. McPherson, of Seaforth. Visitation when properly done and done systematically by Endeavorers would be a great help to the pastor and it is something every society ought to develop among its members. The report of the Nominating Com- mittee was accepted and the following are the officers for the coming year :— President, Dr. Ferguson, Blyth ; 1st Vice President, Rev. Mr. Becker, Auburn; 2nd Vice President, Miss C. A. McKenzie, Seaforth ; Secretary, A. T. Cooper, Clinton ; Treasurer, Miss M. 5, Washington, Clinton ; Executive Committee—Rev. Jos. Edge, Goderich; Rev. Muir, Brucefleld ; Rev. Jno. Ross; Brussels; Rev. Jas. Hamilton, Wing - ham. The "Question Drawer," under the charge of Mr. N. Elford, Holmesville, brought out a number of practical points and Mr. Elford is to be con- gratulated on his having answered them so satisfactorily. This brought the afternoon session to a close and the Crisp County Clippings Mr Walter )Petty intends removing from Hensall to Yorkshire, England. John $awkehaw, Exeter, last week threshed tbirteeh sores of 'oats and it is said the yield was 77 bushels to the more. The real estate of the late Leonard Hunt. er of Usborne was offered for sale on Thurs- day last. The hundred sores upon which , the Simonmy reside was the only with, sold, • • Mr Hunter, of Tnokeremith, being the purohaeer, at $4,000. The adjoining J• lots were not sold. Mr Peter Thompson, Superintendent of the Algonquin Park, died at Dorset, on Friday. Mr Thompson was employed by the Government some time ago, in making • reat . • roads and bridges in Algoma- He reside in Brnseele for some time and from there moved to Toronto. Mr Wm. Hogarth, of Egmondville, seems to be the champion sunflower grower of those parts. He has a fine prop growing in his garden. He has one stalk with 109 flower's on it; he has also a flower that measures fifty inches in circumference, and a stalk which measures 12 feet in length. Mr John Carroll, who for the past two years has kept the Union Hotel, Saltford, has been removed by death. Deceased was born in this neighborhood, being a son of the late Patrick Carroll, one of our best known farmers. He has/been in failing health for some years, being compelled to give up farming on that account. J. Webster, of Fordyce, W. •Wawanoeh, who took a number of cattle to the Old Country market at London and other pointe and was accompanied on the voyage by T.G. Allen, principal of Fordyce public school, returned home last week. He reports hav- ing had a pleasant trip and realized a prof- itable sum for the cattle. A meeting of the shareholders of the Union Furniture Company, Wingham, was held on Wednesday, when Mr Thos. Bell made an offer to sell hie factory to the Company, if they would build an addition to the factory and employ 100 hands. The meeting seemed favorably disposed towards the offer, and an adjournment was made till tbe 16th instant to consider the same. Mrs John Stafford, of McKillop, near here, passed away to her long home early literary age there was no excuse for ignorance, because good books could be got cheap and every chance was given to young people to study if they wanted to. That literary study was necessary to thorough Bible study, especially a knowledge of the Greek and Hebrew, languages, and yet no literary course could open to anyone God's true meaning without the direc- tion of the Holy Spirit. tonal singing.

The Wednesday evening session was opened with a song service under Mr. Becker's supervision and consisted of a solo, duet, quartette and congrega- "Sociability in the Society,by T. B. Saunders, of Wroxeter, The second, "The Endeavor Society and the Young Man," by E. H. McKenzie, of Goderich. The third, "The Endeavor Society and the Young Woman," by Mrs. M. L. Ashley, of Londesboro. They were three excellent papers and will be printed in full and notice sent to the different societies. "Why a Junior Society," by Miss L. Holmes, of Clinton, and "Juniors and their Bibles"' by Miss Lamie, Hensall, were two splendid papers on junior work and we trust that many Junior Societies will be formed during the corning year. These will also be pub- mittee for their excellent work in pre- paration during the progress of our sessions.—To the families who have so hospitably received us into there homes.—To the Railways for reduced fares.—To the Secretary, Mr. Cooper, for his efficient service.—To the Rev.

Secure the Endeavorer's hand as well as his heart. Then carne the address "What a Pastor ought to expect from the Endeavor Society," Rev. J. Holmes, Clinton. Mr. Holmes has had much to do with young people's move- ments since its organization and his re- marks on this subject were pointed and practical. Ile thought the young people ought to pray for their pastor and be ready at a moments notice for active service and fill up the ranks in Christian warfare. The attendance at all church services was also expected of every Endenvorer. The. Secretary's report showed an increase of 7 societies and 132 rueuc- hers,• making the total membership 3,278 for 07 societies; of these 0 are Junior Societies with a membership of 191; The societies numbering 100 and over are : Presbyterian — Lochalsh, East Ashfield, 141 ; Goierich, Knox, 122 ; Hensall, 120; Seaforth, 110; Blyth, 105- Methodist—Goderich, North st., 104 ; Clinton, Rattenhury street, 101. The following is a list showing the societies having 50 active members and over : Methodist—Clinton, Rotten - bury street, 76 ; Goderich, North street, 51. Presbyterian — Goderich, Knox, 71 ; Blyth, 68; - Hensall, 64 ; Seaforth, 60. Local Unions. have been formed in Goderich, Seaforth, Clinton and with Wingham, which was organized be- fore, there are now four Local Unions in the county ; it is expected, however, that Blyth, Exeter, Hensall, Brussels, Wroxeter and Gorrie will organize during the coming year. After the opening exercises of Wed- nesday afternoon the first address was by Miss Wilson of Clinton on the Endeavorers relation to mission work. The aim should he to impart the great- est information along missionary lines and to adopt some systematic way of giving. She reviewed the field of mission work, condensing an immense amount of information into a half hour scholarly address. The President's address was the next in order hot unfortunately the presi- dent could not he present for which the delegates were very sorry, his address therefore was not given. The Past President, occupied the chair during the President's absence; all were pleased to see him in that position and everything was satisfactorily carried out in his (Rev. G. H. Cobble - dick) charge. "Sabbath O servence" was the sub - and Sahhath School," by Rev. G. H. Cobbledick, of Brussels. Although the church was packed to its utmost capacity Mr. Cobbledick got a pati- ent hearing and he gave one of the hest addresses of the Convention. He said the problem of keeping the children in the S.S. was a very import- ant one, each parent and teacher were personally responsible and we should use every effort to keep the children in the Sahhath School and Endeavor Societies. One organization was not enough, we need both, and if these were properly conducted better results are sure to follow. He also suggested the combining of the two organizations known as the ('onnty Sabbath Organ- izat inn and the County C. E. Union. Rev, 1t•. N. Barns, B. A., then gave the last address of the Convention, entitled "Thy Kingdom ('once." Ile made a strong plea for more thorough missionary work, and urged all to learn more about the work needed, also what is being done and adopt a system of systematic giving to this great cause. We ought to have more of the Napoleon spirit and accept the command as a personal commission and if we cannot go ourselves we ought to send some one else. Do all we can as well as we can and thus he prepared for the coming of Christ's kingdom. The closing Consecration service was led by Rev, Mr. Becker, of Auburn, and was very impressive, every dele- gate going out resolved to do all they could to "look' up and lift up" for Christ and His Church. NOTES. Mr. Becker made an excellent leader of song. The Billetting Committee did their work well. There were 175 delegates present. The next Convention will be held in Goderich. Rev. G.H. Cohhledick made an excel- lent chairman. Everybody regretted the absence of Rev. Jos. Edge, the president. The Blyth people know what hospi- tality means. TnE YACHT RACE.—The yacht races which are taking place at New York for the American Cup this week, be- , ween the Ameriran boat, Defender, and the British heat, Valkyrie I1I. The Defender won the first rare, which was run on Saturday, by 8 minutes and 49 seconds; the second race, which took place on Tuesday, was captured by the Valkyrie by two minutes and 18 seconds. On a protest, entered by Defender, the racingcommittee has given its decision in avor of the latter. Lon Reid, son of Adam Reid, Brussels, met with what might have been a fatal ac• eident the other day. He was in Grey, at Duncan Taylor's, and was driving the team drawing out manure and fell off the wagon, behind the horses. They started and the wagon passed over his body. One wheel nearly went over his head. No bones were broken but he was badly bruised. So far no serious results are anticipated. Mr John Scott, of Seaforth, has tele- graphed the chief of police that his small son, Arthur, has run away trom home, and left for Toronto on the train arriving in the city at midnight on Saturday. The bey had no shoes or stockings on, and wore a white hat. He has no friends in Toronto. So far the police have not been able to ob. tain any news of him. Mr W. F. Tate, who recently purchased the photograph business from Mr A. Bans - laugh, Seaforth, has decided to give up bus- iness, and will shortly leave town. Mr Tate's eye sight has been very poor. It is his intention to go to Australia, where his friends live, while Mrs Tate and family will return to North Bay. We are sorry to lose Mr Tate and family as they have prov- ed during their short stay, to be a most worthy acquisition to our town. On Sabbath last the remains of the late Mrs Martha Campbell(relict of the late W. Campbell)of West Wawanosh,were interred in Dungannon cemetery and were escorted thither from her late residence by a large company Of sorrowing relatives, friends and acquaintances. The obsequies were im• pressively oonduoted by Rev R. Fairbairn. The age of the deceased was 86 years. She was taken away very suddenly, her decease was caused by falling down stairs during Tuesday night previous, from the effects of which she succumbed. The bereaved son has the sympathy of the community. Since the recent speed performances on the English West Coast and East Coast railway, between London and Aberdeen, which showed the remarkable feat of cover- ing 540 miles in 538 minutes, the officials of the New York Central have been study- ing the figures and it is reported that a movement is on foot to show that American locomotives can make better time than the English flyers. o Books. . .
