TEE NEW PRIVATE POST CARD.— A
con espondentof the Montreal Witness
calls attention to the statement now
going the rounds of the press that the
use of the private post card, by affixing
a one -cent stamp to an ordinary card,
is now legal in Canada. He received
such a card on Jan. 2nd—for which he
was charged four cents. He wrote
immediately to the Post Office inspec-
tor, who replied to the effect that the
instructions relate only to cards of
'British origin, so that an ordinary card
on which only a one cent stamp is
affixed, posted. in Canada, will be rated
letter pottage and double the deficiency
charged. All readers of THE NEWS
RECOND who may have been misled by
the erroneous statement previously
published, will pleasetake notice of the
error.
HURON MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.—
This association met in the council
room in the town hall, Seaforth, on the
15th inst., the president., Dr. Turnbull,
being in the chair. It was two o'clock
when the president called the meeting
to order. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read by the secretary,
Dr. Shaw, of Clinton, and approved of.
After this the programme proper was
commenced. The first paper on the
list was one by Dr. Campbell, of Sea -
forth, which was the report of an in-
tesesting case in practice, with the
treatment of the same. This paper
elicited a good discussion, in which
Drs. Graham, Smith, Wood, Shaw and
Turnbull took part. A paper which
had been written by Dr. Burrows, who
was absent, was read by Dr. MacKay
and was discusses; in the usual manner
themembersresent. Next came
the election of officers. which resulted
in the election of Dr. Smith, of Mitchell,
to the president's chair, and Dr. Beth-
une to the vice chair, while Dr. Mac-
Kay was elected secretary and treas-
urer. A discussion on natters relat-
ing to the medical council was then in-
dulged in, Dr. Graham, the represent-
ative for this division, having asked
several questions as to his future course
in the council. De. Taylor and others
engaged in this discussion. The sub-
ject of medical ethics was then taken
up by those who were appointed to
speak on that subject. Drs. MacKay,'
Wood and Bethune engaged in the dis-
cussion. This was the best discussion of
the day. At five o'clock the meeting
adjourned as the members going east
wished to catch the five train. The
next meeting takes place in the town
hall, (Clinton, of which the members
wire have due notice.—Seaforth Sun.

A letter from the Convener of the As-
sembly's Committee on Tenmperance
was read and remitted to the Presby-
tery's Committee to take action there-
on. The remit on the Hymnal was ap-
proved of, and that on Jewish Mission
disapproved of. Said omission was re-
commended to be under control of the
Foreign Mission Society. The annual
report of the Women's Presbyterial
Foreign Mission Society was read,
showing the Society to be in a very
vigorous state, prosecuting its grand
work with untiring zeal, and very en-
couraging results. The membership of
the Society is 684; the contributions for
last year, ending December 31st, 1894,
were $1,367.18, and clothing to the
value of $262.88 had been sent to the
Indians of the Northwest. The Presby-
tery received the report with thanks,
and assured the ladies of its continued
confidence in the Society, its gratitude
to God for the work said Society was ac-
complishing and its prayers to God
that the Divine blessing may rest in
increasing measure upon our devoted
women. A conference on the State of
Religion is to he held at the March
meeting. Mr. J. S. Henderson submit-
ted questions to be sent to the Christ-
ian Endeavor Societies within the

tions were approved of and metered

tield, and. asked leave to moderato in
another call. Leave was granted.

OF INTEREST TO ° COUNCILS.—The
question of whether a by-law is valid
which is passed by a council at a meet-
ing not called in the regular way by the
clerk,• and not signed or sealed by hire

from London. Barrister VV. H. Bart-

by-law is worthless. It was such a
by-law that caused his exptilsiou last
year.

fine dog -suns, or mock -suns as they are
often called, have appeared in the sky
lately—two on Saturday evening week
a short time before sunset, and again
on Wednesday morning last jest after
sunrise. It is universally held that
this pheDOW eua is caused by moisture
in the atmosphere; but some •weather-
wise people maintain that these ap-
pearances foretell stormy and cold
weather, while others maintain ,just,
as stoutly that mild weather is as like -
these appearances as is
cold. Which is correct'?

nesday evening the first greeting of
