CURRENT TOPICS. •
The criticism from the Opposition
press of Dr. Montague's budget speech
goes to show that. the Secretary of
State is one., of the ablest men in the
Dominion Parliament.
There is probably some ground for
the theory that the cause of Sir Rich-
ard's un•.tsally bad temper is the pros-
pect, of aL speedy approach of better
times in Canada.
Ther debate on the budget, is ended,
Sir Richard ('atr•t.wright's amendment
being defeated by 117 to 71. The House
was a comparatively small orie, and it
is quite evident had the House been full
the Government would have bad a
majority of at least sixty.
The law deflning the legal rate of
intesest was passed to protect unfor-
tunate debtors. A. man may agree to
pay more than six per cent. per annum
and he may give his note accordingly
hut, he cannot be compelled to pay
more on an account or to sign a note
exacting a greater amount than six
per cent.
The fo:imving latx.at information re-
specting the world's three greatest
cities will be read with interest:
New York by the census of 1895 is a
city of 2,000,000 inhnhitants, The
population of London is 4,200,000 that
of Paris is •2,100,000. The Brea oil Lon-
don is 75,1{{1 acres ; of Paris 18,700; of
New York 24,000. London has 600,001
houses ; Paris 90,000; New York, 115.-
i000. London averages 7 residents to a
house, Paris 25 ; New York 18. Lon-
don has 1,:381 'miles of streets ; Paris
600 miles; New York 575. London
has 2„3(S1 miles sewers; Paris has 410;
New York has 414. The wafter supply
of London is 175,00.1,000 gallons a day ;
of Paris 100,00{),011(1; or New York, 190,-
00(1 gallons a day.

Letters received at Ottawa tram
Hon. 3. U. Patterson indicate that his
trip to the Pacific Coast..bas proved
very beneficial. He will probably
return to Ottawa In about a week.
The Uovernnlent has received a com-
munication from the party 'sent out
last year to prospect the coal -oil fields
of Athabasca. The reports are very
favourable. Throughout a section of
country about 300 miles t)y 1100 miles
there is every indication of rich de-
posits of oil. The party has made a
boring at a point about 100 utiles north
of Edmonton. It is now 1,200 feet
deep. There is it good flow of natural
gas, and oil, it is expected, will soon be
struck in quantities.
The human monster who outraged
and murdered little Jessie Keitli lois
atoned for his crime with his life. The
life that he involuntarily gave Was not
worth the life that he deliberately took;
but it was not in his powet to give
more.

At. 11 o'clock sharp the Meeting was
called to order by the Rev. Rural Dean
Hodgins as chairman. Mr. II. Dennis,
of Brussels, acted as secretary and Mrs.
Armstrong, of Goderich, presided at
the organ. The roll of delegates was
called, showing87 present at the uun-
ing session. ,
Reports were received
from the several schools, all showing
that Sunday school work in the dean-
ery of Huron was very flourishing.
An adjournment was made for dinner,
and on assembling again at two o'clock
the discussion of the subjects assigned
began.
Rev. Mr. Griffin took up the subject
of societies, theit use in the church and
Sunday school. Without making
reference to the work of any particim
ar society, he advocated the employ-
ment of every talent in the church in
whatever channel it can he best de-
veloped. No one should expect the
clergyman to do all the church work.
but to act as the leader and to control
the workers. The paper brought out
many gond points that Wright be prac-
ticed in our own parish, where we
must all admit t that far too notch of
the work is left to our rector. There
are many things in which the cnngreg-
ation could assist more than they do if
they were only anxious to do some-
thing.
Rev. Me. Jeanes read a very valu-
able paper on the model teacher, set-
ting forth the ideal at which all good
teachers should aim. This was the
deepest paper read at the convention
and certainly must have taken much
time and study in its preparation.
Below is given the report of the
Temperance committee of the E. L. of
C. E. of Ontario St. Methodist church
witiclt was read before that society
last Monday et ening :—[n presenting a
report of the work: accomplished "by
this eon unit tee during the past month
we fee) we would nut be doing our
duty were we to confine ourselves
merely to at 1 eport of the work achiev-
ed ; and say nothing atbout the ele-
ments which we have to coathat, and
which greatly retards the progress of
the temperance reformat. ion; neverthe-
less we will be ars brief a15 possible.
During the past month .we held one
temperance meeting, the ultimate re-
sult of which we do nut know, nor will
we he able to ascertain until that great
day fur which' all other days are made
when all thins shall he revealed. In
engaging in this work we feel we have
a hard battle before us, not 's0 much
on account of the magnitude of the
evil itself, ars the indifference with
which church members and piofessing
Christians view it, atnd the indiffer-
ence with which they respond to any
appeal made for their assistance in the
furtherance of this great work. A
special invitation was extended to the
older members of our church and con-
gregation r.o attend our last tem-
perance meeting ; and we are not.
aware that any of them respond-
ed thereto. Would that God would
come es on a win of tire and with
at flaming sword stir up this dull stag-
nant pool of indifference into which
church members have fallen ; and
bring them to a reatlazation of th@
troth that we in this world are held
responsible, not only for what we have
done but also for what we have left
undrine. In that great day for which
all other days lire made, when the
great trump shall sound, and we are
all called to stand before the bar of
Goll, we will all have to answer the
sunuuons. And we believe that in
I hat day, the crushed and bruised and
broken-hearted members of drunkard's
families will rise up in judgment., not
only against those who have crushed
them, but will speak out •6s with a
voice of t.hnnder against those, who,
with folded arms witnessed the devas-
tation by this destroyer and made no
effort to stem the tide of withering
desolation. Had ministers of the gos-
pel and church members done their
duty in the past. t his foul tide of woe
and death would now he rolled hack
from our land forever. And think
yon, that we who neglect our duty,
can in t he face of these facts expect to
heart. the words "Well done;" Let ns
all join our hands, oar heads, end our
hearts together in this glean work,
push the battle to the rate, and win
the approval of Ilial wilo said "She
hath thine what. she could."

Miss Sweet, of Exeter, took up the
subject of Sunday school literature,
setting forth the necessity of paving
more attention to the books, papees.
leaflets, etc, used in the Sunday school.
They should be such as are in sym-
pathy with the c•hurrh's doctrine and
calculated to elevate the mind, broaden
the soul and make the children intelli-
gent as well as active members of the
church.
Mrs. Fairlie, of Listowel, read one of
the most practical papers of the duty.
The duties and responsibilities of tile
S. S. teacher. She advocated 1, Sym-
pathy with the child out of school as
well aS in the class. Galin his con-
fidence and half the work of tearhiug
is done. 2, Thorough preps ratioe of
the lesson. The class cannot draw
water out of It dry well. 3, Not only
teach the lesson but live the lesson.
Example is better than precept. She
also enforced the necessity on part of
teacher of punctuality, churchman -
ship and obedience to rector,. etc.
A large congregation gathered in the
evening in St. Thomas' church, where
at choir of over 30 voices rendered an
excellent service. The chanting of the
psalms and responses were given with
the unison of a city choir. Rev. Mr.
Griffin assisted the rector in- the
prayers, and Itev'ds. Stout and hunt
read the lessons. The sermon, which
was an excellent one. was preached by
Rey. Mr. Turnbull, rector of Goderich.
No attempt was made to display
eloquence, but in plain, cornnon sense
language the speaker enforced the
necessity of a more diligent attention
to the religions training of children.
He spoke of the shame which children
bring on parents by their misdeeds,
and on the whole ably expounded the
words of the wise Man in Prov. 4, II—
"1 have taught them in the way of
wis(lont, I have led them in the fright
bpath." Miss Pentecost. sang one of her
eautiful solos (luring the offertory.
A strong pull was made for the next
place of meeting by Exeter, Brussels
and %Vinghan when the latter won
theday and the next convention will be
held there in May• 1890. The following
officers were elected :--Hon. Pres., Rev.
Rural Dean Hodgins ; Pres., Rev. L.
G. Wood ; Vice -Pres., Miss Sweet,,
Exeter : Sec.--Treas., Mr. H. Dennis,
Brussels ; Cor. Sec., Mrs. Foster, Wing -
ham. Votes of thanks were praised to
the readers of the pather•s and also to the
Indies of Seaforth fur their very hos-
pitable entertainment.
• The ruri-decanal meeting was held in
the school rnonn on Wednesday com-
mencing with Holy Communion, at.
which the Rural i)ean was celebrant
and Rev. Mr. Fairlie assisting. At ten
o'clock the chapter opened for business,
all the clergy and nanny of the laity he-
ing present. Business in connection
with the clench wnr•k in the county
was discussed and some recommenda-
tions to the (•xeeutive c4titmittee at
London were put and carried. At the
afternoon session t he clergy discussed
points of ritual so as fo bring about
more uniformity in the condrrting of
the services. \• rites of thanks were
passed to the Rev. Mr. Turnbull for his
able sermon, and to the Riiral Dean for
his hospitality and frit the able manner
in which ho con ducted the proeeedings

"A year ago my father, William Thomp-

this time we read about Hood's Sarsapa-

half a bottle his appetite had come back
to him, whereas' before he could eat but

s('A1••Ft)1.1), WHERE R.tnt•LIFFE
ACTED As E.XECUTIONER.
The hanging of Arnedee Chatelle, of
St. Hyacinthe, Que., the murderer of
Jessie Keith, near Listowel, last
autumn, took place on Friday morning
at Stratford at 8.03 in the west gaol
yarel, in the presence of about forty
spectators. .
At seven o'clock Farther Downey,
Chatelle's spiritual adviser, drove to
the gaol and engaged in forayer with
the condemned man for nearly three-
quarters of an hour, after which the
necessary preparations were made for
his execution. The
prisoner's
arms
were pinioned , •d in the celland headed
by Sheriff Hossie, the procession of
gaol officials marched to the scaffold.
Chatelle and Father Downey followed
the gaol surgeon, Dr. Dunsmore, and
Gaoler Nichol, the priest reading the
Litany for soul departure.
Chatelle went to his doom with a
firm and elastic step ; .neve►• once did
he fa • or show the least sign of
nervot sn . His face, however, ex-
hibited hen paleness that was, if
anything. rendered �
d umoredeath-like by
his jet black beard Of two months'
growth. His countenance also exhibi-
ted traces of the worry and mental
anguish that he tried so much to con-
ceal.
Arriving at the scaffold, Radcliffe,
who was the executioner, tied his legs,
At seven fifty-five Chatelle partook
of the Sacraruent; at eight the black
crap wits adjusted. He was not asked,
as is customary at executions. if he
had anything to say. Everything. be-
ing in readiness, Father Downey com-
menced repeating the Lord's Prayer,
and when he had reached that part,
"Thy wile be done," at a signal from
the sheriff, the drop fell at 8.0:3 ulna
Chantelle was launched into eternity.
Eleven minutes afterwards the body
was cut down and life tt'as pronounced
extinct ivy the goal surgeon. The cus-
tomary inquest was held.
Chatelle committed one of the most
heinous crimes recorded in Canada,
when he murdered Jessie Keith, uu
October 19th last. The girl, who was
only 14 years of age, had been to Listo-
well, and was returning to her home,
a mile and a half from tare town, when
she was met on the railway track by
Chatelle, who outraged and murdered
her and carried the body to a neigh-
boring wood, where he buried it under
moss and rotten woad. When the
body wits discovered, detectives were
nt once set on the case and they were
not long in running Chatelle down.
He was captured at Erin, where he
was weal passing the station going
towards Cataract. He was taken 0>
Stratford and safely lodged in the gaol
there.
When arrested he had in his posses-
sion clothing stolen from a woman at
Ailsa Craig, and the valise in which
the clothing was taken, was found
near the dead girl. This was one of
the strong clues against Chatelle. He
confessed to the killing at the inquest
and preliminary trial, and when tried
at Stratford last March he made no
defence, declining to plead insanity on
advice of Mr. East, his counsel. Cha -
tette belonged to St.. Hyacinthe and
was about 60 years of age, and had led
a roving life from his youth up. His
counsel made strenuous efforts to have
the sentence commuted to imprison-
ment for life. on the ground that Cha-
telle was not morally responsible for
the deed, owing to mental disability,
hut, the Minister of Justice declined to
interfere.
Fifty dollars for two barrels of
apples 19 0 price probably never real-
ized, even for good Canadian frult, in

of gond fruit. and cold storage. They
had been packed only in the ordinary
way in barrels.
