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 Supper, At 4 v, m. the Session ad- journed.
