Deanery of ,Huron Chapter.
The half -yearly meeting or the
Chapter of the Deanery of Huron was
held in St. Paul's church school room
on Monday afternoon at 2 p. m., Rev.
Rural 'Dean Hodgins, rector of Sea -
forth, presiding. The members pres-
ent were :—Rev's Bray, Exeter ;
Mills, Blyth ; Smith, Bayfield ; E. B.
Smith, Middleton ; Parke, Clinton ;
Turnbull, Goderich ; Kerrin, Mitchell ;
and Messrs. Ransford and Plummer,
Clinton ; Metcalf and Corley, Blyth ;
and Clauson and Petty, Hensall. The
meeting was opened with prayer and
Rev. Mr. Mills appointed secretary.
A very interesting discussion was held
in connection with the manner of col-
lecting the various diocesan funds and
an extra effor t will be put forward this
year to raise the amount required from
this Deanery. The following' gentle-
men were elected on the local missions
committee to act in conjunction with
the Rural Dean :—Rev's Turnbull
and Smith and Messrs. Ransford and
Holmsted. The chairman in opening
the meeting pointed to the very en•
couraging fact that the deanery of
Huron was next to the large county of
Middlesex in children attending the
Sunday,school, in church attendance
and in attendance at the holy com-
munion. A good service was held in
St. Paul's church in the evening, when
a large congregation was in attend-
ance. The several clergymen present
assisted in the service and an excellent
sermon was preached by Rev. Mr.
Turnbull of Goderich. The choir took
their part very creditably and Miss
Atcheson of Goderich assisted with her
violin during the offertory. The next
meeting will be held in Hensall.
Crossley and Hunter Will Stay Another Week.
The attendance at the Crossley and•
Hunter meetings increases as the series
lengthens out and now in the middle
of the third week Rattenbury street
church, with the - greatest seating ca-
pacity of them all, is hardly equal to
accommodating the large crowds
which seek admission.
It is estimated that at least
seven hundred young and old men :at-
tended the meeting held in the town
hall last Sunday afternoon. In the
audience were a number from outside
towns and villages. Doubtless many
came expecting a continuation of the
spicy discourse of the previous Sunday,
but it pertained on this occasion more
to drinking, profanity and home life.
The effect these Sunday p. m. meetings
will have can scarcely be estimated,
but that they will bear fruit, in good
season will not be questioned. A meet-
ing for young people will` be held in
the Ontario street church on .Friday
afternoon. These meetings, like all
the others, are being largely attended,
the school children in particular flock-
ing to them almost en masse.
Next Sunday morning the pulpits of
the various churches will be occupied
by their own pastors. At 3.30 p. m.
Mr. Hunter will speak to women only
in Rattenbury street church, subject :
"The model woman." Mr. Crossley
will address men only, in Willis
Presbyterian church, subject : "Mys-
teries." He says there is not
to be a man except himself
within a gunshot of the building. In
the eyening double-headers will be
held in Ontario and Rattenbury
churches, and as the experience of last
Sunday is likely to be repeated it will
be necessary to reach either church
about 0.30 in order to secure a seat. It
has not yet been decided where the
meetings will be held next week, but
probably Rattenbury church, as the
largest, will be selected.
The results of the meetings are be-
coming apparent. Over seventy names
of those who have expressed a desire
for a change of life have been handed
to the pastors of the churches of their
choice.
Mr. Hunter intimated Sunday even-
ing that he had scarcely yet warmed
to the work or in other words that he
had "not yet opened up," from which
a number have inferred, that some-
thing startling may be expected this
week. He is certainly given to a
picturesque style of expression. a very
good way though at times of present-
ing pungent truths and there are those
who while taking exception to some of
his sayings are placated by his manner
of presenting them.
Mr. Crossley still sings well and at
his hest thrills[the large audiences. He
rendered the Land o' the Leal the other
evening and not alone those who had
gathered the heather as it grew upon
the mountain side appreciated the
pathos of this old song as given by bhe
sweet -voiced ,evangelist.
On Sunda3evening Mr. Hunter made
allusions to a number of the world's
best known men, including Sir John
Macdonald, between whom and the
evangelist there existed more than
ordinary friendship, The Grand
Old Man of evergreen mem-
ory attended a series of special
meetings conducted by hunter and
Crossley at the capital and the tie then
formed between the veteran statesman
and the warm-hearted, Impulsive,
eYitngeltst endured while life lasted►
The Difference Since '92. , ,
An estimate of the falling off 1 the
export trade from Huron county to the
United States may be gathered from
the report of Consular Agent Pattison.
In the month of October 1892 he issued
297 certiflcates,whereas so far as '98 has
run the total nurnber does nok reach
half that of the single monthferred
to.
Quietly Wedded Yesterday.
Mr. Malcolm Dowzer and Miss Ida
Carter took each other for better or
for worse, as the phrase runs, yester-
day. The ceremony was performed
at the manse by Rey. Mr. Stewart
after which the young couple repaired
to their residence on street
where a reception was held in the ev-
ening. Both bride and groom are
well and favorably known in Clinton,
and the best of good wishes will be ex-
tended to them fox a bright, prosper-
ous and happy future.
A Gold Watch for J. P.
The employees of the organ factory
took advantage of the approaching
wedding of Mr. J. P. Doherty to pre-
sent him with a handsome gold watch
and chain. The presentation was
made by Mr, Armstrong in the
action room where the whole staff had
assembled. After handing to J. P. the
chronometer and voicing the kindly
sentiments of the employees towards
him, "the boys" sang with gusto "For
he's a jolly good fellow." Mr. Doherty
was overcome for the time -being by
the heartiness of the affair, but made
a suitable reply in which he expressed
the hope that the good feeling that
had hitherto prevailed might continue
until the end of the chapter.
The Bishop at St. Joseph's.
The celebration of the mass was ob-
served at St. Joseph's church on Mon-
day forenoon, Rev. Father McEwen of
St. Augustine being the officiating
clergyman. This was followed by the
laying on of hands by his lordship
Bishop O'Connor, the confirmation
class consisting of six children. The
priests present at the ceremony were :
Rev. Father West, Rev. Dr. Kilroy of
Stratford and Rev. Father McCabe of
Seafortb. His lordship and the latter
two clergymen came up by the fore-
noon train from Dublin, where a simil-
ar service had been held the day previ-
ous, and were delayed over an hour,
so that it was just about twelve o'clock
when they reached the church. Bishop
O'Connor and the priests went in
the eyening to Goderich, where they
were the guests of Rev. Father West
until next day.
Change of S. A. Officers.
Captain Keeler, who has been in
charge of the S. A, corps here for the
past five months, left for Toronto Mon-
day to attend the Army's big pow -wow
in progress there this week, the 18th
anniversary meeting they call it, after
which he will join the S. A. brass band
which is being organized to tour the
province. This will be the Captain's
second season with such an aggrega-
tion, last year it was the Marine band.
Captain Keeler was popular here with
the citizens irrespective of corps or
church. He isa young man of consid-
erable talent and it is a tribute to his
self-sacrificing spirit that he remains
in this work when positions offering
a very much greater pecuniary reward
are open for him. By the Army'slocal
brass band he will be particularly
missed for to his training it
owes tnucb. Lieutenant Copeman,
who has been second in com-
mand, has also been transferred but will
first spend a few days' holiday at his
home in Essex Centre.
Thanksgiving in S. Paul's.
The thanksgiving services in St.
Paul's church on Sunday were bright
and interesting, large congregations
being present at both services. Rev.
J. T. Kerrin preached two thoughtful
and eloquent sermons that would as-
sist his bearers in realizing the bless-
ings they enjoy in material things and
in their estimate of the greatness of
their Divine Lord. Owing to the late-
ness of the season the decorations were
not as profuse as usual, yet they were
in keeping with the festival. The
offertory was most gratifying, over
$170 being placed on the plates, and
when all have handed in their offering
the sum will doubtless reach the
amount asked for by the rector—$200.
The choir were ably assisted by Miss
Laura Acheson of Goderioh, Mrs.
Coupes and Mr. T. Jackson,Jr.,of town,
and the musical pa4t of the services
throughout were most creditable to the
organist, Miss H. Oombe,and the choir.
Special mention perhaps should be
made of the solo by Miss Herman, ac-
companied by the organ and Miss Ach-
eson on the violin. It was a beautiful
combination of the human voice, the
violin and orgab and was • in perfect
harmony and keeping with the wor-
ship of Atmightq God. The members
of St. Paul's must feel deeply, grateful
for the success which attended their
services, more especially as the Season
is so far advanced and the weather artd
roads far from favorable,
11 Seet# Comparison.
THE NEwS-RECORD asks comparison
between itself and any local paper in
the Huron tract for amount and variety
of reading matter and general up-to-
date news. THE NEWS -RECORD is not
seeking for patronage on its past repu-
tation, but present excellence instead.
Mr. Darrow Will Resign.
Last Saturday morning Judge Fal-
conbridge at Toronto granted an order
transferring petition and cross -petition
from Goderich, where they were fixed
for hearing in October 27th, to Toronto
for trial on November 1. This means,
of course, that they will be dismissed.
The understanding is that Mr. Garrow
will resign the seat forthwith.
A Heavy Calf.
In a shipment made by Mr. James
Hearn to Toronto last week was a
fifteen weeks old calf which tipped the
beam at 570 pounds and for which he
paid twenty dollars. The calf was
bought from Mr. Robert Plewes of
Tuckersmith and is said to have been
the heaviest for its age ever shipped
from Clinton.
More Dwellings Needed.
There ought to be a good profit in it
for the moneyed -men who will erect a
number of good, comfortable dwelling
houses for rental at a moderate figure.
At present would-be residents find it
impossible to secure what they would
like. For instance, Mr. Thos. Bell of
Londesboro was in town this week
and would have bought had there
been anything suitable for sale.
Citizens' Concert Course.
The committee take pleasure in an-
nouncing that they will open their
series of entertainments on Nov. 14th
with J. Williams Macy of New York,
though it was the intention to begin
with the Fadettes' orchestra of Boston,
but owing to the evangelistic meetings
now in progress the dates were re-
arranged so as not to conflict. The
dates for this course will be seen in the
display advertisement on the eighth
page.
The Elmhurst Stock Perm.
Mr. W. J. Biggins of the Elmhurst
Stock Farm has lately been receiving
applications from parties at a distance
who want to purchase good thoro'-
bred stock. As Mr. Higgins has not
been advertising recently he can only
surmiseas to how these parties came
to write him, though the reason we
take is not far to sea, the stock he
sold in past years advertised the farm.
Mr. Biggins was not able to offer these
applicants any stock as he is just about
sold out. Asked why he did not raise
enough to supply the demand, his reply
was that he hadn't sufficient land, his
one -hundred and twenty acres being
now taxed to the limit.
J. P. Doherty Married Yesterday.
A very pretty wedding took place
at the residence of Mr. G. McGugan,
Poplar Hill. near Strathroy, yesterday
forenoon, when his daughter, Miss
Laura, was united in marriage to Mr.
J. P. Doherty. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Arch. Sinclair in
the presence of only the immediate
relatives of the contracting parties.
The bridesmaid was the bride's sister,
Miss Vina McGugan, while the groom.
was attended by Mr. A. T. Cooper of
Clinton, Immediately after the cere-
mony the happy couple • left on their
honeymoon trip, which will include a
visit to several American cities as far
west as Chicago. Mr, and Mrs.
Doherty will on their return to Clinton
occupy the, residence lately erected at
the corner of Townsend and East
streets where they will be At Home
on November 14th.
Demand for Oooso wheat.
There is at present an active demand
for goose wheat and the price has ad-
vanced beyond that paid for the better
grades. This will be good news to the
limited number of farmers who have a
stock on band for in addition to the
prevailing high price the indications
are that the spring will see a big be-
mand for seed grain. Goose wheathas
heretofore been considered rather a
bastard grade and has only been grown
because it almost invariably gave a
good yield, Thus some farmers prefer-
red a.loar price with the certainty as
to crop.. Then there has been a ten-
dency to judiciously mix it with the
good article and send it to market as
the latter, but while the buyer might
allow this to pass the miller raised
Cain when the mixture got into his
rolls as when ground• it is as yellow as
a duck's foot, For flour it is not good
but its gritty, flinty qualities have re-
commended It to France, Spain and
Italy where it is,converted into macar-
oni. If this market holds out, well and
good, but if it flops as suddenly as it
has risen there will be a much greater
supply of this grain than the , millers
will care to see en the • tnarket The

Pea Blossoms,
Mr. Pete McNeil called in Tuesday
evening with a couple of pea vines in
full bloom which he gathered on the
farm of Mr. Fred Ford, Goderich
township.
No Transfer Granted.
The license commissioners have re-
fused to transfer the license of Mr.
Ben Mason of Saltford who had dis-
posed of his interest there and the
purchaser was on hand with his goods
and chattels.
Large Vegetables.
Mr. Jos. Allanson, the "boss garden-
er," drove up to Blyth yesterday to
supply the people of that burg with
choice vegetables. Among his load
was an eighteen pound cauliflower, a
four pound radish and a twenty-five
pound head of cabbage.
A Strong Team.
The Rev. Dr. Dewart, late editor of
the Christian Guardian, and Rev. Dr.
Henderson, associate general mission-
ary secretary, are engaged for mission-
ary sermons in the two Methodist
churches in Clinton. The services will
be held on Sunday, December 18th.
High Price for Oats.
So high as thirty-four cents per hush
el was paid by the local buyers for oats
the other day, though twenty-seven
cents was the prevailing price.
This meant dollars in the pockets of
the farmer on whose load the buyers
ran up the price in order to secure
it.
A Cold Bath.
While a citizen was driving along
the Bayfield road Monday morning he
espied a Syrian in the "altogether"
who had just emerged from a bath in
Trick's creek. The temperature of
both air and water would indicate that
the bather was a hardy fellow:or needed
a wash badly, perhaps both.
Poultry Shipments.
Poultry shipments have already
begun although nearly a month must
elapse before thanksgiving day, that
period more -of feast than of prayer,
rolls round once more, So far no con-
signments have been sent from Clinton
station as the dealers who chiefly
handle the fowl are as busy as can be
with shipments of fruit.
the Curlers Organize.
The curling club was re -organized
Tuesday evening with the following
officers and cornmitties :—Patrons. W.

The Dr. Buys and Sells.
Dr. Turnbull recently sold to Dr.
Egbert of Milverton and at a hand-
some advance over the purchase price,
the fancy driving mare he recently
bought in London. Last week while
in Toronto he invested in a hackney
mare at Grand's repository. The Dr.
was well pleased with his latest pur-
chase, which is a handsome piece of
horseflesh of good breeding, but
sold her on Monday to Barrister Bry-
done, who will now have one of the,
most stylish drivers in Clinton. The
Dr. has since visited Toronto and made
another investment.
An Interesting Letter, No Doubt.
One of the quartette of young men
mentioned in the issue of THE NEWS -
RECORD of a fortnight since as about
to join the ever-increasing ranks of the
benedicts, has hinted that he might
furnish us for publication and for the
benefit of other young men to follow
suit, a detailed statement of the ad-
vice he has received since the news of
his intended wedding became public.
We were obliged for somewhat obvi-
ous reasons to ignore the hint, though
the communication would doubtless be
entertaining to many. As the next
best thing he may typewrite it and
give it a more limited circulation.

Murder in Godepich Township.
WILLIAM COX SHOOTS AND KILLS .
FREDERICK BEATTIE,
Frederick Beattie of Goderich town.
ship was shot and killed by William
Cox, his father-in-law, yesterday morn -
ing.
After committing the fatal deed Cox
went into Goderich and gave himself
up to the officers of the law.
From all the particulars we can at
present gather Beattie hastened his
own end. He went home drunk Tues-
day night and beat his wife. She
went over to her father's home
next morning, was followed
by her husband who began to use her
father roughly when the hitter drew a
revolver and shot his assailant.
The affair has caused greatexcitement
in the township where both families are
so well known. Much sympathy is ex-
pressed for Cox who has been the vic-
tim of circumstances.

A HOSPITAL IN CLINTON.
SIR.—Huron should have a county
hospital and I am sure that if once
established it would always be well
maintained and about as certain of
being kept up as the House of Refuge.
A hospital has been established
in Wingham, but it is a private con-
cern. Clinton from its central posi-
tion and good railway communication
would be the best point for a county
hospital. J. A.

in the delightful consistency of gravy.
This however did not prevent some of
our young people from taking a shot
at the match on Friday, Captains W.
Miller and R. Watkins. Victory rested
with the side of the former by some 19
points on the target. In the evening
the boys and others repaired to the
residence of Mrs. N. Brigham where
the light fantastic was tripped until—
wen never mind when. Refreshments
were served and the boys express
themselves as having had an excellent
time.

Foote was cleverly sung and was much
appreciated.
