MATTERS.—The quarterly meeting of Kippen circuit Methodist church was held at Hills Green, on Aug. 2nd. and was largely attended. A sermon, which was much appreci- ated, was preached by the pastor, Rev. W. J. Waddell, from James 4, 17, "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him itis sin." A service of unusual interest was held at Chiselhurst on Sunday evening in connection with the Epworth League. A question drawer was conducted by the pastor and many Bible qaestions ably answered; the church was filled, many having to sit on benches in the aisles. The official board met on Mon- day at 6 p.m. in Kippen; the financial returns were larger than they usually have been on this circuit, at its August meeting. The salary was fixed at $675, and Mr John Fitzgerald was elected to attend the Financial District meeting. Oliver Coleman was licensed as a local preacher.

Dale; both are commodious dwellings, and were constructed by Cooper Bros., Clinton. A SAD AFFAIR.—The other morning on awakening Mrs John Cartwright was shocked to find that her baby, only 13 days old, was dead by her side. The child was apparently quite well the day before, and it must have passed away without a struggle, as it mani- fested no uneasiness during the night. RUNAWAY.—The other day while Mr John Cartwright was coming to town, in a covered buggy, accompanied by a nine-year-old adopted sister, he got out to look at some grain in a field, holding the horse by the bridle.

We are glad that Pete will be able to take charge of a school so soon after his late illness, he not being able to finish his exam., which was quite a disappointment. The people up there will find him a young man of sterling integrity, who will look well after the interests of his pupils. DESTROYED BY HAIL.— Word has been received from Moose Jaw, Man., that Mr Jas, Thompson's crops, (Alex. Thompson's brother) have been entire- ly destroyed by hail.

Mr John McGregor wears a happysmile this week over the ad- vent ofthe arrival of an heir; his farm has just doubled in value since the af- fair. Mr Geo Cook is fast becomin a successful barber, judging from tie number of his customers; better makkv, a charge, George. Harvesting will be about completed in this locality this week, and we think the farmers de- serve a day's outing; how would a harvest home picnic to the lakeside do? Looking over the list of visitors we have this week, one would almost be led to believe that we have a fam- ous summer resort; we certainly have, and with a little advertl.ing would, in a few years, be able to compete with Bayfield and many other noted places along the lake; cannot some one take up this cause and make the place known to intending summer resorters living at a distance, so that next year we will be able to secure our share of visitors.

IMPROVING,,—Mr Albert Giffin, who has been suffering from a covers illness for several weeks sometimes it would seem beyond medical skill, we are glad to learn that for the last few days there has been a slight change for the better. We trust yet that he will be spared not only to his anxious friends, but to future usefulness in connection with the ministry of the Methodist church, of which be stands identified, CHURCH.—The regular quarterly services in connection with Nile cir- cuit were held Sabbath morning,service was conducted by the pastor, Rev.

HIRED, --The trustees of tate Holmes- ville school have engaged Mr C. L. Fisher for '97, at an advance of $50 on former salary. According to all ac- ounts Mr Fisher has been doing good work, and we think the trustees have ehown appreciation of him by their action. WEATHER.—We are getting plenty of heat and water now; pasture, roots and late sown grain are picking up. A ver severe thunder storm passed over Tuesday night; the lightning was almost incessant, and with it a violent wind, which, happy to say, has appa- rently done no damage to the heavily laden fruit trees.

Mrs (Dr) Thomas Holmes and two chil- dren, of Detroit, are the guests of Mrs John Holmes. CHURCH NOTES.—On Sunday a very successful quarterly meeting was held, and our pastor, as usual, gave us an excellent sermon. If the large congre- gations on Sunday evening are an in- dication of the popularity of the preacher, it speaks well for him. Good sermons are the rule, but last Sunday night, and a week Sunday night, were exceptional, and we doubt not would compare favorablywith many city churches. On Mnday evening the board meeting was held, and the new year will start very favorably. Dur- ing the pastor's two weeks' vacation the pulpit will be provided for. The Holmesville League will take charge of Sharon appointment Sunday after- noon, at 2.30, and Rev Mr Millyard, of Rattenburystreet church, Clinton, has consented to take charge of all work needing an ordained minister, such as funerals and weddings, especially the latter.

Miss Bella Wilson, of Goderich, assisted the bribe, little Nellie Linklat- er was maid of honor, and M. Ander- son, of Mount Forest, was best man. The bride wore a costume of pale blue cashmere, with white silk and lace trimmings, and the bridesmaid and maid of honor were charmingly dress- ed. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. Henderson and at its conclu- sion the wedding party partook of a cold collation. Shot tlyafter the break- fast the wedding party drove to Gode- rich from which point the happy coup- le started on their honeymoon. Glodertch. A BIG CHEQUE.—The local agent of the Ontario Mutual claims that the company he represents when paying for the mortgages bought from the county council, issued the largest cheque ever negotiated In Huron; the amount was over one hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
