FOUND A.OMN.--Some time ago a
certain lady on one of the concessions
of this township, lost a gold watch and
chain, and it was at once reported that
the article had been stolen, and that
suspicion rested on certain parties.
The particular locality had always en-
joyed an enviable reputation forhones-
ty, and everybody naturally felt some.
what concerned about the loss of the
article in question. It was not un-
natural that it should have been seri-
posed the watch was stolen, but as
events tented out, it would have done
no hat m to have exercised a little more
prudence. The lady in question, .owns
property elsewhere mahe c'ounty, and
had ocoasion to go there and gather
fruit. After her visit it is said the
watch was found hanging in one of the
fruit trees. Whether she had taken it
off and hung it there herseltor whether
it had been accidently pulled off while
gathering fruit we know not, but We
are glad to know that it was notstolen,
and was restored to its rightful owner.

ENTERTAINED HUI:0)Ni CVS.-'
The Huron Old Boys' Association of
Toronto, extended every courtesy to
visitors from Huron county to the In-
dustrial Fair. A pretty and comme-
diets tent was placed on the grounds
Edon wits -devoted -to -the making of ar-
rangements for the holding of tne mis-
sionary and educational anniversaries
on the circuits. Considerable discus-
sion took place as to the need of in-
creasing the interest of the people in
the missionary cause, and several dif-
ferent methods were suggested, some
of which will no doubt be tried. It
was felt that in Methodism the efforts
were too spasmodic and that mission-
ary sermons should often be preached
by the resident pastor, in addition to
the Leggier annual Sermon. At the
afternoon session communications
were received from the Prisoners' Aid
Ass'''. and from the trustees of the
Great'St. James St. Methodist church; •
it was hoped • that $17,000 would be
raised by the London Conference to
assist in relieving this historic church;
of that anooent only about $3000 has
been forthcoming.. It was decided that
each circuit do what, in its judgment,
it considered best towards helping this
cause. A -most animated discussion
took place in regard to evangelistic
work in this district. A very strong
feeling prevailed that every effort must
be made to strengthen the spiritual
work of the Church. There seemed to
be considerable difference of opinion AS
to the desirability of engeging evan-
gelists from a distance; it was thought
that good work could be done by using
the talent of the district, interchange-
ably, the ministers helping each ether,
for at least Iwo weeks of special work.
The May district meeting will be held
at Myth, and on the evening ot the
first day Dr. Daniels will preach and
administer the Sacrament of the Lord's
