slid the finishing in artistic style. At a
meeting held at the residence of Mr. Mc-
Kee last week, it was decided to pur-
chase new chairs and carpets for the
parsonage, and to build a new kitchen if
the Trustees are willing to do their
share. It is a good thing to have an ac-
tive Ladies' Aid in connection with a
church.

poor houses here last week, and failed to
Carry out their agreements. The prize

Some time early on Monday morning
they had a rig Dome over from Wroxe-
ter and took themselves and baggage to
Wingham; they must have had akey to
fit the lock in the door.of the Town Hall,
for that is the way the baggage was got
out. A warrant has been placed in Con-
stable McGrath's hands for their appre-
hension. The caretaker says that the
next gang that gots into that hall with-
out first paying the rent is a good one,
and we believe him.
