CHURCH.—This week the Revival services in Ebenezer saw larger crowds than last. Quite a number have gone forward and many more haye signified their intention. SUDDENLY ILL.—As Rev.J.W. Pring was on a visiting tour around Ebenezer congregation one day last week, he was taken with sudden weakness, which caused his immediate departure for home. ILL.—R. Morrow, engineer for Cul - lis & Howson, left work owing to a boil on one hand; he is now laid up by a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs. Will Morrish, head sawyer for the same firm, is also laid up at his home in Colborne with grip. NOTES.—We areeased 1 this p week to congratulate Robt: Winmill on the birth. of an heir to the manor, which event took place on the 10th inst. Mr Jos. Taman, of Blyth, was a transcient visitor at Mr Feagan's one day recent- ly. Mies Eliza Scrimgeour, after a two weeks sojourn at her sister's, Mrs King, of Kincardine, has returned home, Miss Annie Clark, of Gode- rich, has returned after a two weeks visit among old acquaintances. Miss Roberton, of the 13th con., Hullett, is at present visiting Wm. Roberton, of Ebenezer. Miss Emma Moss spent a few days last week visiting Mrs R. A. McKenzie. Miss M.

McKenzie has pur- chased another Duroc Jersey boars Goderich. The Literary Committee of North St, E.L. of C.E. wish to plane a small library, say a dozen books, on each Goderich boat, and would ask assistance from E.L. or C.E. societies in town. Send 'books or magazines to M. Howell, Goderich. CARNIVAL.—The first carnival of the season in town will be held in the skating rink, on West St., op Friday evening. There will not be any rac- ing, but prizes -for fancy and comic costumes only. The Clinton Band is expected, and a good evening's enjoy- ment is looked for. GOING AHEAD.—The work on the sewers is being pushed ahead, and the contractors are hoping that the wea- ther will be cold, though mild, for several weeks more. The pipes are being laid on Elgin Avenue, and if all continues satisfactory for several weeke half a mile will probably be added before spring. RAILWAYS. — Once more we as Where are the 'C.P.R. and El eetri railways?"and echo answers,"Where?" From several papers We are given to understand that, the contract is letfor the building of the Electric railway, and if ouch is the case, we will have patience. The first sod on the Wing- ham-Goderich branch, turned some years ago in Saltford, was the last. As for the C.P.R. having purchased certain privileges on the Buffalo and Lake Huron, matters seers to be at a standstill. SKATING.—The past week saw some of the first skating there has been oo the river and harbor. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings some one hundred skaters walked over to the Saltford side of the river, where the ice was best. The evenings were not so cold as to be unpleasant. The ice on the harbor was thick enough, but one of our young sports, too ven- tureous by far, went through the thin Ice between the piers, hitt escaped ' with nothing worse than a pair of wet pantaloons and a scare. FINE PREMIUM.—It is to be doubted if another country newspaper office in this county is offering such fine pre- miums to its subscribers as the por- traits given by the NEW ERA to those who renew their subscriptions. The picture of Mr Laurier, (received last week) is one of the finest of that gen- tleman your scribe has ever seen, and the portrait of Mr Tupper is, we ex- pect, just as good. We will be echo- ing the sentiments of all those in this vicinity who have received the pictures when we say, " It is a first-class pic- ture and, when framed, will adorn our hest room." Belgrave AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The East Wawanosh Agricultural Society held their annual meeting in Scandrett's hotel on the 13th inst., when the fol- lowing officers were elected for the ensuing year:—Pres., Chas. Proctor; Vice Pres., Walter Scott; Director, J. Owens, R. Scott, T. H. Taylor, Geo. Taylor, J. Coultes, R. Currie, sr., B. Wilkinson, R. McMurray and W. J. Geddes; Auditors, M. H. Harrison and J. S.

Colborne ILL.—We understand that William Grigg, of the Maitland, is laid up with a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs. DEATH OT A POPULAR MAN.—The follow- ing, from the Montreal Witness, refers to a native of this township :—" Melville Pres- byterian Cnnrch, Westmount, has been palled upon to mourn'the unexpected death of their popnlar pastor, the Rev. John Mc- Gillivray, which occurred at 11.80 Monday vening last. Mr MoGilJivray was taken ill in the pnlpit last Sunday evening, and was placed under the necessity of dismis- sing his congregation. Although since closely confined to his bed, a fatal result was not anticipated until last evening, when the hemorrhage of the lungs from which bo was suffering, grew noticeably worse. Be leaves a widow and one son, L� COME WITH TH Galan It D Huron Presbyter) Society (Condensed from Blyth Standard.) The twelfth annual meeting of the Hur- on Presbyterial eooiety held last Tuesday in St. Andrew's church, Blyth, was a very pleasant and profitable gathering. The reports of the various secretaries were very encouraging, breathing a spirit of courage and devotion, increased liberality, greater faith in the promises of God and faith in his goodness. During 1896 two new auxil- iaries have been welcomed to our ranks — one in Leeburn, the other in Goderich township. The auziiiaries have done nobly in the matter of supply and contri- butions. The past year has been marked by the advancement in every department and has been the most successful finan- cially in the history of our society. The Enron Presbyterial now comprises 16 auxiliaries with a total membership of 388, of these 99 are members of the general society and eight mission bands with a membership of 489, and 15 members of the general society. Also about 58 scattered helpers, contributing $27.30. The auxiliaries raised $1,193.25 for mis- sionary purposes, and the mission band, $289.07, making a total of $1,482.32, which with the interest accruing from deposit, i $120 in advance of last year. Sixteen hundred and twenty-five pounds of comfortable clothing, largely new mater- ial, Were forwarded to a school' in the Mita - wards reserve, along with a box of dolls from the Sunshine mission band. The McGillivray mission band also sept a box of toys to the Northwest and another to In- dore, India. Our expense fund is liberally sustained while the letter leaflet has an in- creased eirculasion and is thoroughly ap- preciated by its any readers. Touching teferen;e was made to the loss sustained by the rem 'vac of our first be- loved and honored president, Mrs Thomas Fair, who for eight years so efficiently presided overr.the Huron Presbyterial. Al- ways actively interested in the advance- ment of Christ's kingdom, and having the claims of the W. F. M. 8. deeply at heart, elle was ever ready with sound judgnreat and excellent capabilities to direct, and willing hands to carry on the work of our society, of which as a mark of esteem she was last made an honorary member. The election of officers reoalted as fol- lows :—President, Mrs (Rev) Colin Fletch- er, Thames Road; let vine -president, Mrs (Rev) James Hamilton, Leebnrn; 2nd vice- president, Mrs James Carlisle, Hensel' ; secretary, Mry R Irwin, Clinton ; treaenr- er, Mrs A Scott, Seaforth ; secretary of supplies, Mies K McTaggart, Clinton ; Leaflet secretary, Mrs J G Wilson, Sea - forth, ' In the afterktoon session Mise Graham presented a report of the annual meeting in Peterboro. Mrs Polley, ofGoderiohElbowed how she thought a mission band should be conducted. Mrs Colin Fletcher gave a vivid desoripticha of the Pan -Presbyterian Council held in Glasgow last summer. Mrs Jae Hamilton, Leebnrn, gave a read- ing and collection was then taken up, after which the offerings of the year were dedi- oated to the Lord's service by Mrs (Rev) Robert Hendareon, of Auburn, and Mrs R. Irwin, of Clinton. The next annual meet- ing will be held in Goderich. Mrs Camp- bell, of Goderich, was appointed Presbyter- ial delegate to the next annual meeting in Hamilton. The evening session was presided over by Rev. A. McLean. Mies Grace MoFanl, of Seaforth, delighted the audience with her beautiful rendition of the new sacred solo "Satisfied," being encored, sang "Tbe Bet-' ter Land." An earnest, stirring and prao- tioioal address was given by the Rev. R. Johnstone, pastor of Si. Andrew's church, London, on "Tho Miseionery Outlook." 'Mr. Geo ge,Gibson, of Blyth, sang "Cal- vary," w th good effect. The o Vection, amannting to 822, was then tak n up, after which a quartette add- ed to th evening's enjoyment.
