The Fraternities at Church.
The turnout at the church parades
on Sunday last, the Woodmen to the
Baptist church in the morning and the
•Oddfellows to tiae Rattenbury street
- church in the evening, does not by
any means represent the strength of
either of those organizations. A. nutn-
' ber of the brethern are always out of
1 town while others are kept at home
for divers reasons. The Woodmen
much appreciated Rev. Mr. Murduck's
discourse and have officially said so
and will as well return thanks to the
choir • and church officials. Between '
fifty and sixty Odifellows marched
from their lodge room down to hear
Rev. Mr. Howson, who was in one of
his most eloquent moods, and on their
return to their hall a vote of thanks
was tendered pastor, choir, organist
and officials.

of the money raised in forming what
will be known as a Pension Fund for
the benefit of faithful officers who have
become old or worn out in the work.
Quite a sum also will be devoted to-
wards the famine sufferers of India.
This effort on the part of the Salvation
Army has conamended itself to the
public and is meeting with universal
approval. • Quite a flambee are devot-
ing a certain amount annually to this

Presbytery Whim,
The Presbytery of Huron met in
Willis church ou Tuesday with a large
number present from the different
fields of labor, A statistical report of
the Presbytery was presented by Rev.
N. Shaw of Egrnondville which was of
a most encouraging nature. A call
was presented by Rey. A.Stewart from
the Seaforth church to Rev. Mr.Larkin
of Chatham. It was signed by 851
members and 82 adherents, so was
practically unanimous. The promised
stipend is a handsome one,being $1400,
payable quarterly in advance. To-
gether with this there is a manse and a
monat's holidays in the dog days. The
call was sustained and ordered to be
transtaltted to Mr. Larkin with the
request that Chatham deal witla it as
speedily as possible. Some changes
were made in the personnel of the
delegates to the meeting of the Gener-
al Assembly to be held in Halifax in
:Tune, Rev. Sautes Hamilton of Godet.
ich taking the place of Rev. 0.Fletcher
of Themes Road and Mr. Ross of Exeter

vine. In the matter of the re.arrange.
ments of fields, which was discussed at
the last meeting of the Presbytery,
there will be no change in the south as
the congregations are not only live tint
are as well strongly attached to their
pastors. But provision WAS made that
Rev. R. Henderson of uburn and
Smith's Hill shoidd conduct ser.
vice at 'Leeburn and that Rev, Sas.
Hamilton of Upton church should also
for the same period of two months
conduct service in Bethany and Bap
field. The hope was expressed by
the Presbytery that ultimately
these congregations may be united
under the abate named pa,stora,
- Rev. Jas. i. Andereon of Goderich
will exchange with Rev. It. Henderson
of Auburn in order to advise the con.
gregations of the wishes of the Presby.
tory, while Rev. N. Shaw of Egmond.
ville will exMiatige with Rev, Jas.
'Hamilton to in a like manner acquaint
Solid& Bethany and 'Union church
of the proposed change. Leave was
granted Mr. )Sa.wers of Brumfield,
moderator of Varna and Blake, to
moderate in a call from these congre-
gations when they are ready for a
settlement,. The eongregation of Willis
ehureh has arranged for elat weeki
'holidays for Rev. A. Stewart, The
next meetingui the Presbytery Will be
held in Clinton on the second Tuesday

The iffilitary Concert.
The military concert to be beta in
the town hall this evening ought to be
given a bumper house. The program
will be worthy of it, to say nothing of
the good cause to which the proceeds
are to be devoted. The citizens will
show their interest in the welfare of
the Huron Battalion by attending the
Concert.

Mare bad died the day previous in

of twenty head of fine export cattle
yesterday which he sold to S. H.
Snalth„ This makes eighty head Mr,

have fifty more ready for the market.
Non resident stock men often come to
inspect Mr. Forrester's stables And are
always.aurprised at their size and com.
pee equipment.
C. Cook.fains Ills Hand.
Mr. Charles Cook has been a little
unfortunate this spring. A short time
since he had quite a severe attack of
la grippe and on . Monday had his
right hand so badly jammed that he
hits not been able to return to his
duties at the o. f, since. It appears he
was helping lift a load from a wagon
and had his hand • caught between the
bolster and the wheel with a badly -
bruised hand as the result. .
?h� CreatnerY in Operation.
Mr. J. E. Crealy got his creamery,
to be know as the Huron Central, in
operation on Monday, and though the
machinery is ye k somewhat stiff, he
expects to have everything in good
running order this week. Mr. Orealy
collects the cream over a consider-
able area and ' all . going well
fully expects to lengthen the haulers'
• trips in due season. L. Patterson, a
Goderich township young man, is his
assistant. •
Local Union Meeting. •
A meeting of the Local Union Was
held in 'Willis church on Monday even-
ing when there was a good attendance
of those interested in the work. The
• program was an instructive one, the
addresses being pithy and practical.
• Peincipal Houston spoke' of the coun-
try's " Perils", Rev. W. G. Howson of
its "Hopes". and M. G. W. Harnwell
of its "Glory." Mr. Wade also contri-
buted to the discussion,. and Mrs. Hoo.
ver and Miss Robb rendered a duett
with much acceptance.
An interview re. the Cattle Yards.
• Negotiations have 'been on foot for
sonae time with the Grand Trunk
authorieties re. the present cattle
yards which are altogether too small
to accommodate the growing stock
shipments at this point. The G. T;
people, in common with corporation
officials in general, are slow in moving.
However, after considerable correspon-
dence Messrs. Jones and Ferguson,
general road master and superinten.
dent • naiddle 'division, respectively,
came up in their private ear on Thurs.
day night last and on Fridlty had a
conference with members of the town
council. Clerk Coats and Ohief Wheat-
ley. The representatives of the town
tried to impress upon the officials the
wisdom of larger yards and more re-
mote trorn the dwellings of citizens.
In this they did not succeed very well
but the company may yet buy Mr,
Swallow's property and secure more.
space in that way. At all events
Messrs. Jones and Ferguson suggested
to the councillors that Mr. Swallow be
seen and his price ascertained.
A Week's Shipments by S IL Smith.
The following is a list of one week's
shipments of cattle made by Mr.
S. II. Smith from which it will be
seen that he puts a large sum of money
into circulation in the course of a
twelve -months. In addition to these
shipments Mr. Smith on Monday put
forty grassers on Mr. W. Weir's
farm on the Bayfield Line. On May

•A deputation from the Agricultural
Society donsisting.of Messrs. I. Batten.
buiy, W. J. Paisley; J. W. Shaw and
J. Johnston asked the assistance of the
council in purchasing new grounds BP
• that a race track may be constructed.
Dr. Shaw said the present grounds
were too small and art• enlargement
sufficient to build it track would cost
too much, sie much, indeed, that the
project could not he entertained. They
could buy the Gun Club grounds much
more cheaply and as the scheme was
in the public interest he thought the
council should assist financially by tak-
ing stock in a company which would,
if they co-operated, be formed, The
expense spread over a term of twenty
years would be trifling.
• Mr.Paisley said that Agricultural So-
cieties which have no race track have
either gone to the wall or merely exist
in a nip -and -tuck •sort of a way.
Neighboring towns have beenforced
into building tracks and as one here
would be a benefit to the town he
thought the council should take up the
question and invest a sufficient
amount in stock to ensure its success.
The Gun Club grounds, consisting of
51 acres, could be rented for 09 years at
a nominal rents,1 of ten dollars per
annum the members of the Club re-
taining their present privileges. Why
should not the town sell the present
park and invest the proceeds in the
proposed track ? •
Mr, Rattenbury said that if a track
Was to be built it could only be with
the assistance of the town. It was too
large it project for a few private ludl.
viduals to undertake alone.
Mr. Plummer did not believe Recrea-
tion Park could he disposed of in the
manna suggested. • It was bought as
a, citizens' playground and as such, it
appeared to him, should. be main -
tamed or much indignation would be
the result.
The outcome caf the diseussion
was that Messrs. •Jackson, Combo
and Mackenzie were appointed to
confer with representatives of the
Agricultural Society as to the most
feasible way to deal with the matter of
a speeding track.
The projeeters of a proposed line of
railway to start at Port Dover', thence
