Mr, and Mrs, John Brooks of Wing- haus were visiting with Marnoch friends last week. Mr, A, Nethery, who is employed as brakeman on the 0. T. R. at Sarnia, is visiting friends in East Wawanosh at present. Win. Deacon was exposed, with a number of others, to the smallpox, but ho was the only one of the lot quaran- tined. As no papers were served on him, he cousidered himself justified iu not observing the quarantine ; the time is past now and he has not been afflicted with the disease. He would like to know why he was selected from thirty or forty others equally ex- posed. It was reported that Mr's. Stamper's daughter was i11 with the smallpox, but Mr. Deacon says this is not so. A good story is told of a certain married man, who, being very fond of reading matter and also of politics, was perusing the newspaper while eat- ing his supper one evening. Being very much engrossed with the news. he was not aware that his wife had filled np his cup with rather hot tea, and taking np the cup he swallowed a large mouthful, but immediately sprang to his feet, uttering some un- known language, and a domestic scene followed. The word. of advice in week before last's paper will serve as a moral.

On Sunday last, St. Stephen's church was crowded to its fullest capacity to hear Rev. A. B. Farney preach his fare- well sermon. He took his text from John 20:10—"The disciples went away unto their own home," from which lie preached a, most able discourse. The attention of the audience was so riveted upon the oratory of the preacher, that a pin could be heard to drop during the sermon and tears did "unbidden flow"; hearts were touched at the keen sense of his departure from - the people with whom he has labored, so faithfully for so many years. On Monday evening the cor3gregation gathered at the rectory to do honor to a beloved pastor, presenting avith a beautiful GOLD WATCH, suitably engraved; also a handsome Silver Sugar Bowl and half dozen spoons to Mrs. Farney. At the close of the reading of the address, Mr. Farney was so overcome that he could scarcely speak; he could but thank them from the bottom of his heart for the manifes- tations of their regard which he would ever cherish as a pleasant memento of his Gorrie friends. irIias Maggie James read the address and Miss S. Arclell made the presentation. The watch and silverware were purchased from Mr. Knox and are the best in the market. Coffee and cake were served, and a very happy evening was spent.

Bryans left on Monday for Listowel High School, where he will take up a special course in Latin, which is necessary before entering the Medi- cal College. of 873. The following resolution was passed by the Lodge :— Ree.el ed—That by the death of Bro. Brydges, this lodge has lost a worthy member, his family a faithful and loving husband and father. The large concourse of brethren and friends that followed his remains to .their Last resting place testified to the deserved esteem in which he was held. Al- though many endearing ties have been severed by his death, we aro as- sured that he has entered into that rest, that is the reward of all who truly trust in Jesus as their Saviour. We bow in humble submission to Him that "death all things well," knowing that our loss is his eternal gain. If this dispensation of Providence has the effect of making us live more in accordance with the principles of our Order. we shall be Better Christians and consequently better mernbers of society.

Farney,— We have met here to -night to say fare- well to you, as you are soon to leave this parish for another field of labor. It is difcuht for us, your parishioners (dur- ing your incumbency in this parish) to tell you how deeply we feel our loss in your departure, and now as you are about to leave us, we cannot let you go without showing you some manifesta- tion of our regret and of the high esteem in which you are held by us. Your re- signation has cast a gloom and sorrow over our hearts, but we know that He that doeth all things well, is taking you from our midst. Yet we cannot but feel a satisfaction that your noble work amongst us is recognized far beyond the limits of our parish. Since coming to Gorrie you have been a diligent worker iu the Master's vine- yard and no one can estimate the full value of the devoted labors which you have bestowed upon this parish. God has blessed you iu your preaching and setting forth of His word, by which you made your influence for good felt not only among the members of your owe. church but amongst all classes of the community. As a citizen and friend, you have ever been kind and true,always ready to lend a helping Baud or give a kind word in time of need. Your smiling face has always been a source of pleasure to those in sickness or distress, and your many acts of charity will bo ever held by us in loving remembrance. Nor can we ven- ture to confine your work to this parish only, butyou have put forth, every effort to assist the carrying on of the work of • the Diocese and foreign missions. We have often wondered at your tire- less energy that has built up our S. S. and brought admirable efficiency in all parts of the parish work. You have al- ways been -a diligent worker, especially among the young people and the influ- ence you have brought to bear upon their moral characters, will no doubt be felt as long as life lasts. All through your incumbency of four years, a longer time than any former clergyman has remained with us, we have marked with pride and growing affection, the manly resolution which has made our parish ono of the most prosperous iu the Diocese. Our heart- felt esteem was only troubled with the thought that you most soon bo called away to a larger sphere in Christian work. Knowing your manifold abilities wo feel that the highest places are open to you in the near future. We need not say that it is nor sorrow not to be able to keep you in our midst, but no as the time to say good-bye has come, we beg you to accept as a small token of our esteem, this watch, sugar bowl and spoons. We hope that in after years they may remind you of your many friends that you have loft in Gorrie. While we sadly regret your departure, our earnest wishis 1 that God's s richest blessing may be showered upon you, your wife and family. We hope and trust that you may all lino to see many years and be instrumental in carrying on the sacred work of e,. te,uding Christ's kingdom, and that when you are called to your roware-r, you may hear those loving and comforting words, "Well clone, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
