The brick work has been started for the new addition to the James Street Church, Exeter, There will be 75,000 bricks used to complete the structure.

He will confine himself chiefly to the following points: -1st, The vari- ous meanings of the words adoration and worship; 2nd, Proofs that benefit can be obtained by praying to the saints in heaven; 3rd, Quotations from the sermons and writings of Protest- ant ministers, in favor of praying to the saints; 4th, Forme of prayers, in- voking the saints, now in use among many members of the church of Eng- land.

Our local cotem does not deny that West Huron is a Conservative con- stituency, but jokingly assumes that the original Conservative majority of 150 has been mysteriously hidden by the Liberals. Perhaps it has. How- ever, as some of the Conservatives boasted that the last election in West Ruron cost them a very large sum, it looks as if they made an effort to find them. Kingston Election! The nomination to fill the vacancy in the Ontario Legislature, caused by the unseating of Hon. Wm. Harty, took place at Kingston on Tuesday. The Conservatives nominated Mr Smyth, Q.C., who ran against Mr Harty last bye -election, after the Conservative member had been unseated for bribery but Mr Smyth refused the nomination. Then an attempt was made to have the Liberal leaders promise to let a Conser- vative be elected by acclamation if Mr Harty were returned without opposi- tion. This offer was promptly rejected and other attempts were made to or- ganize opposition, but in vain. No Conservative candidate was put up, and Mt Harty is now, by unanimous consent, sent back to the seat which hp won in the last contest, though a few over -zealous and foolish friends caused him to give it up temporarily. There is now no doubt that Mr Britton, the popular Liberal candidate for the Com- mons, will be elected by a large major- ity. We are not surprised that the Conservatives failed to secure aca.ndi- date, for they knew that every possible effort would be made to carry the seat in the interest of the Government, just the same as the Dominion Govern- ment would do if it was in the same situation.

McKenzie is making the new louvred windows in the tower at the belfry stage, from details supplied by Archi- tect Fowler, who has general supervis- ion of the works. The electric light is to be introduced into the building. Rev. H. E. Benoit, Agent of the " Colonial Church and School Society," with headquarters at Montreal, will preach in St Paul's Church on Sunday morning next. He is a clever young French-Canadian, who has had a some- what interesting career. Born in Que- bec in 1863, he was educated for, and entered the Ministry of the Methodist Church, taking his first station in 1883. He was afterwards called to Africa, in which country he acted as Superinten- dent of the French schools in Loango province in 1886 and 1886. Returning to the United States he acted for a time as Supt. of Education among the French in the State of Rhode Island, and afterwards edited a religious week- ly. He is also the author of the Hym- nal and Liturgy used by the French Methodists, both in the U. S. and Can- ada. He was subsequently admitted to the Church of England and is now agent. for " The Colonial Church and School Society of the Anglican Church in Canada," One of the objects of his visit to the province of Ontario is to raise funds for the work in which he is engaged. At Chatham Wm. Jenkins, a young dol- ored man, drank a quart of whiskey, and died from the effects. .ler Wm. Fletober, of Brampton, was run over by a train at that town. His head was completely severed from the body. Although Sir John Schultz is adminis trator during the absence of Lieut -Gov."

Sir Oliver Mowat arrived in Montreal on Sunday afternoon on the steamship Van.. couver. In speaking to The Globe corre- spondent Sir Oliver ridiculed the rumor that he was going to resign. "No, I have not the least intention of resigning." said Sir Oliver, "and such a step could not be on account of my health in any ease." The hon. gentleman's appearance bore out the remark. He looks ten years younger than when he went away. His cheeks are ruddy, and there is the same gonial twin- kle in his eye. The host of friends who called during the evening were delighted with his manifest good health. "I did not go away for my health," continued Sir Oli- ver. "I went chiefly to watch the argu- ment in the prohibition sppeal before the JudioiabCommittee of the Privy Council. When that wee over I travelled in England and Scotland, and also in Holland, Swit- zerland and France, but not to any extent."

The regular meeting of the Local Union was held in the Baptist church, on Friday evening, Mr H. Foster in the chair.- After R. Holmes had intro- duced the subject, "The early closing of the stores on Saturday night in re- lation to the pr oper observance of the Sabbath," the question was discussed by Revs Messrs Holmes and Ford and Messrs Irwin and A. T. Cooper, and the following resolution passed :— Resolved that in the opinion of this meeting, the closing of the stores on eSat.urday evening, at a later hour than 9 o'clock, leads to a certain amount of Sabbath breaking, and in order to avoid this we recommend that all the business men, of whatever• occupation, he asked to sign an agreement to close their places of business at 9 p.m. on Satutday.pWe also urge upon all Christian people to make then pur- chases as early in the day as possible. and thus help in cast ying out such agreement. Mrs Ashley, of Londeaboro, gave an interesting and able address on the "The social life of Christ." Those par- ticipating in the after discussion were Rev .1. W. Holmes, Miss Wilson, and Messrs McRoberts, Irwin, Cooper, Fos- ter and Holmes. Rev Mr Newcombe closed the meeting.

The Uullettt Drain The drainage works which have been carliied on for so Many months in our near vicinity in Hallett, are at last completed, and have been passed by the engineer, E. W. Farneomb, of Lon- don. We congratulate our readers on the event, 'for it will in the near future add coneidera,bly to the trade of our already prosperous town. The main part of it was the dredging of the Malt - land river, from lot 13, concession four, down to lot 16, on the ninth. When nature finished her work in these parts, she left the bed of the river, from about Quigley's bridge to Melville's mills, of such rugged material that no river could cut its way down into it; in con- segnence of which a natural basin was created two or three miles up stream, forming what has long been known as "the Kinburn swamp", of several thou- sand aures in extent. The dredge scooped out the bed of the river to a width of 20 feet, giving the water a fall of 19 inches to the mile to Quigley's bridge, and 24 inches to the mile from there downwards. The latter portion of the wcrk was very difficult., as the cut was made through a solid mass of boulders, run together with tough clay. The contractors, Messrs Chalmers & Bill, required all their skill and perseverance in getting through this boulder formation, the dredge constantly breaking down; at last they resorted to all-powerful dyna- mite, to loosen it up, and so give the dredge a chance to work in it; mounds of stone on each side of the river testify to the difficulties encountered in this part of their contract. The changing of the bed of the river and giving it a regular fall, was the main work; but in addition, the Kin - burn drain, made by the Canada Com- pany some years ago, has been cleaned out. This valuable and expensive drain was filled up and comparatively useless owing to the state the liver was in; its course is along the 6th con., and the water has an easy tlow in it. A large drain over two miles long has also been made from the east side of the river along con. road 4 and 5, and up side line between 6 and 7, running north. The council has had the con- cession road opened out, and also the` two side lines, and contemplate finish- ing their work by the building of a bridge over the river, where side line 15 and 16 crosses the concession road.— The soil, as shown by the drains, is mostly black mould of varying depths, resting on clay, and gives promise of great fertility and productiveness in the near future. The council deserves great praise for the way it has pushed this work on, and the more it is examined the better pleased will all be with it. Messrs Chalmers & Hill are also entitled to great credit, and made an excellent job where many difficulties prevailed. NOW IS TOE TIS To subscribe for, your week Newspaper.
