SOCIAL EVENING.—A very pleasant social evening was spent in the lecture room of the,Rattenbury St. Methodist church last Friday evening under the auspices of the E. L. of C. E. Society. After a short song service and devo- tional exercises the president called for a number of short addresses bearing directly upon the work of the Society. The Christian Endeavor Department, responded with an address from their convener on "Look Up" ; The Mission- ary Department, "Lift Up"; The Social Department, "Cheer Up; The Junior Department, "Train Up"; TheSecretary, "Write Up"; The Treasurer, "Pay Up"; then the pastor was asked to "Sum Up". Next came a fifteen minute in- termission to give an opportunity for introduction and social talk, which was entitled "Shake Up"; then to com- plete the prom amme light refresh - in en ts were served by the Social Com- mittee, this division being entitled "Fill Up." Sandwiched in between the ad- dresses was a solo, and two instru- mental duets by local guitarists. There was an attendance of 150 and all were much pleased with the pleasing and profitable programme. DEATH OE A NEWSPAPER MAN.—The death of George J. Jaffrey, editor and proprietor of that excellent paper, the Galt Reporter, is announced. The deceased was horn in Shrewsbury, England, on the 21st October, 1838, and 'consequently was approaching his 57th birthday at the time of his death. When only six years of age, his par- ents determined on emigrating to Canada, and with their young family, arrived in New York on the 31st May, 1844. It was Mr. Jaffray's intention when he left England to abandon journalism and take up a farm in Canada, and with this Intention he proceeded direct to Goderich ; but the farming obtlook did not suit him, and having on the way up noticed that a printer was wanted on the Dumfries Courier, then about to he started in the village of Galt, he, applied for and received the position, and at once left Goderich to return to Galt. Only two years elapsed before Mr. Jaffray saw that the Courier was not doing justice to the community in which it was pub- lished, and made arrangements himself to start a newspaper which he felt., he could make a credit to the place. The first number of the Reporter was issued on the 13th Nov., 1846, both of his sons, William, and Richard, assisting in getting out the first issue. And thus •the business life of his four boys was settled, for one by one they drifted into the office to set type at first, and then to take up the pen when other hands laid it down ! The immediate cause of death was enlargement of the heart. The newspaper men of Ontario ,will much regret his early and unex- pected demise, for he had been out of ; the office less than a month. THE LATE MRS. GEORGE COOK.— 'last week we made reference to the death on Monday, 26th August, of Elizabeth Ann Reid, relict of the late George Cook, in Esquesing, in her 71st year. The Acton Free Press furnishes the following additional particulars, which will prove of local interest VIrs. Cook was horn in Ireland, county of Antrim, and in 1831, in company with her father's family, sailed from Belfast for Canada. She was married to her late husband in 1845, and since that time has lived on the farm where she died. Like other early settlers she experienced many hardships in assist- ing her husband In hewing out a home in the then unbroken forest, and often did she relate to her children some of the many trials of her pioneer life. Her husband, dying in 1874, left her a family responsibility which only a devoted and faithful mother could dis- charge. Mrs. Cook had enjoyed her usual health up to the early part of this summer, when she gave evidence of declining strength though her family did not anticipate such a sudden ter- mination of her useful life. On Thurs- day, 22nd August, it became evident to those about her that a change had come, and her sons and daughters living at a distance came to hear her last farewell and receive her dying blessing. On Monday, the 26th, in spite of all that loving children and skilled physicians could do she entered into the eternal rest, surrounded by all her children but one. She died as she had lived, firmly trusting in the finish- ed work of her Saviour. Her end was perfect peace. The deceased was a faithful wife and a loving, devoted mother. She was tenderly loved by her children, for whom she had always shown the most anxious solicitude. Their temporal and spiritual welfare were her constant study. The bright- est and happiest day for her in each year was the gathering around her table on Christmas day, by her child- ren and grand -children. Her generos- ity and hospitality were not confined to the family circle, but friend and stranger alike were ever welcome to the hest her house could afford. She enjoyed the esteem of all who knew her. Truly can it be said of her that "Her children rise up and call her blessed," and that "She looked well to the ways of her household, and ate.not the bread of idleness." She was a con- sistent member of the Presbyterian Church, delighted in its services, and was always a true and faithful friend to the cause of religion. She leaves a family of flee sons and four daughters: —Adam, Acton ; William R ' . Toronto ; Mrs. A. Cook, Clinton ; Mrs. Fife Somerville, Nitssagaweya ; Thomas, Eramosa ; Mrs. R. S. Henderson. Es - is to be held in questng ; Miss Cook and John R., at Ilinton, on Novem- SHOOTING:CONTEST.—A shooting con- test has been arranged between Horace Jackson and John Miller, to take place on the grounds of the Clinton Gun Club on Friday. at 2.30 p. m.

Shipley, of the Huron Road, met with a heavy loss last week in the death of three of his horses from cerebro spinal menen- gitis, a fatal though very uncommon digease and quite rare in this county. The horses had not been ailing many days and were down but a few hours. Veterinaries Blacken of town, Walker of Londesboro, Hamilton of Goderich and McIntosh of Brucefleld were in consultation and held a post mortem examination. Their verdict was that the ailment was caused from impure water and bad food. The well frono which • the animals were watered is under the barn and it is thought the water was rendered impure by leakage. A fourth horse is now ailing, but may come around all right. The disease some- times works as long as a month before the animal gives in, then death follows in a few hours. Cattle are seldom afflicted with the disease. Mr. Ship- ley's loss will be over $300. PRESBYTERY OF HURON.—Thie Pres- bytery held a regular meeting in Clin- ton, on the 10th inst. Mr. Martin, on behalf of the Hoine Mission Committee, recommended that the holding of mis- sionary meetings he left to the option of sessions, but that missionary ser- mons be preached in all the congrega- tions, and that ministers report thereon at the January meeting. The recom- mendation was adopted. On the re- commendation of the Sabbath School Committee it was agreed that no Sab- bath :school conference be held this year. It was resolved to ask for the following supplements of the Augmen- tation Committee for the congregations named : Two hundred and fifty dollars for Grand Bend and Corbett ; $200 for Leeburn, etc., in case ofsettlement, and $200 for Hayfield and Bethany. Mr. Anderson was authorised to moderate in a call in the congregations of Lee - burn, etc., when they are prepared for it. Mr. McPherson, student, read a dis- course on Matthew 5 : 8, which was cordially sustained, and the clerk was instructed to certify him to the college authorities in the usual way. A reso- lution was passed, regretting the,with- drawal of Mr. McKay fromthepastor- ate of Leeburn and ttnion church, God- erich township. Messrs. J. S. Hender- son, Acheson, Muir, and their elders, were appointed a committee to consid- er the remits of Assembly and bring in a deliverance thereof ; also to consider the statistics of congregations, and re - ort at next meeting.
