—On Tuesday, Jan. 5111, all the
farmers on the }.'ere Marquette rail-
way from Chatham to Wellacoburg
were ploughing; there was no frost in
the ground, the cattle were grazing in
the fields, and the weather was like
summer as far west as Tilbury. The
next day, the temperature went down
to real January weather, and the
heavy frost put a sudden stop to all
farming operations.

—The tide of temperance sentiment
shows no sign of ebbing. The local
option and reduction contests which
took place at the municipal elections
last week go to demonstrate the exist-
ence of a remarkably strong and
growing antagonists to the continu-
ance of the bar as a social institution.
Much new territory was added to the
dry area but perhaps the greatest suc-
cess for the local optionist was in
defeating repeals in almost every
place where the liquor interests invit-
ed a contest on the experience of the
past three years. This has a double
significance. This is practically the
last year in which local option could
be repealed on a bare majority. In
the future most places will require a
three-fifths vote to repeal, as the law
was enacted on a three-fifths vote. In
view of their inability to get a bare
majority, the liquor interests will
realize the futility of ever fighting to
'Hence

where local option has been enacted
by a three-fifths majority, it practical-
ly means that the bar has been banish-
ed forever.

—At last, the Christian Churches of
Canada are being aroused as never be-
fore on the subject of .foreign missions,
and a national campaign has been
inaugurated to secure increased cons
tributions towards the evangelization
of the world. One of the pleasing fea-
tures of the campaign is—that it is
essentially a Laymen's movement.
The effort had its origin in New York
less than two years ago, but quickly
and successfully appealed to the Cana-
dian Churches. Of the vast millions
of the heathen world,forty millions
ate regarded as Canada's share. To
evangelize these, will require 1,000
missionaries instead of the 300 now in
the field, or an expenditure of $3,200,
000, which With $1,800,000 for home
missions makes a total campaign fund
required of $1,500,000; this further
divided amongst the evangelical
church membership of 000,000 in Cana-
da makes a contribution of $5 per
member necessary, or about ten cents
per week, for each member. So far
the movement gives prospects of great
success, and t is hoped that Canada
will rise e a to the ho occasion
and da
q
her share in the evangelization of the
World. Sorely l0c a week is not too
niueh to ask from the very poorest
of those who enjoy the benefits and
privileges of this Christian country,
and profess to belieee in the teaehings
of their Leader, /Many have been giv-
ing room than that, but many others
gave much less, and a very largo titan -
her of churches have oentributed
nothing. The Laymen's movement,
by diffusing Information and arousing
interest in the questions Is doing a,
good work, and it is hoped Canada's
share of the estimated boat will be
forthcoming.

The following from the Napanee
Beaver has reference to the death of
a sister of Mr. Robt. McMurray :—"On
Sunday morning, the 20th December,
there passed away, at the home of her
daughter, at Empey Hill, one of the
most respected ladies of the vicinity.
Mrs. Winters, widow of the late Mr.
Thomas Winter of Richmond. Her
sickness, which was brief, was a great
shock to everyone, as she had attend-
ed the anniversary services and tea -
meeting in the Empey Hill church
just two weeks previous to her death.
On the 10th of December she was
stricken with paralysis, Her physici-
an was called, but he gave no hopes of
her recovery, and on the 20th she fell
asleep in Jesus, both calmly and
peacefully. Her maiden • name was
Alice Matilda McMurray, and she was
born in the township of Tyendinaga
sixty-five years ago. In 1808 she was
married to Mr. Thomas Winter, of
Richmond, who proved to be a kind
and true husband, and who predeceas-
ed her five years ago. Mrs. Winter
was mild in her disposition, courteous
and kind to everyone, and was ever
ready to render help to those who
needed her assistance, whatever was
within her power to do. She was
quiet in her religious life, but the un-
hesitating testimonies she so willingly
gave, and the beautiful Christian char-
acter she manifested, convinced her
friends that her life was hid with
Christ in God. Three sons and one
daughter are left to mourn the loss of
a kind and loving mother : Samuel D.
G., Wm. J., of Richmond ; Thos. I. of
Newburgh, and Mrs. 0. E. Ashley, of
Empey Hill. She also leaves one bro-
ther and four sisters to mourn the loss
of a kind and true sister : Robert, of
Huron county; Mrs. T. Kelly of Thur -
low; Mrs. J. Robinson, of Rawden;
Mrs. Ray of Sydney, and Mrs. D.
Winters, of Richmond. The funeral,
which took place • on the following
Tuesday, was largely attended, and
the services were conducted in Mount
Pleasant church, by her pastor, Rev.
C. L. Thompson, preaching from the
text, "For to me to live is Christ, and
to die is gain." Her remains were
placed in the vault at Riverside ceme-
tery to await interment in the family
plot there." Her entire fancily, also
her brother and sisters were with her,
in her Iast illness.

On Monday evening last, the par-

usual Beige. As the occupants were
about to settle clown for a quiet even-
ing, aknock was beard, and i,ttspect-
ing nothing unusual, the inmates
opened the door, when a; couple of
strangers entered and at once pro-
ceeded to make themselves comforta-
ble. Then others kept coming. Now
it would be it whole eleightoid frotn
Bethel, then a crowd from the village
and surroundings would swarm up
and force an entrance, and these
would be reinforced by a load from
Tiffin's. Rev. and Mrs. Findlay were

the besiegers were soon in complete
control of the situation, and the oceu-
pants made prisoners of war. The
conquerors were very lenient and
generous with their captives, and sorra
a generona feast was spread, which all
enjoyed. Then they entertained them-
selves and Also thele captives with a
good program, consisting of trot?ie,
readings, ere,. and every' one seemed
to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Then
their captain called them to order and
et once proceeded to bass sentence an
the prisoners. Mrs, Ferrier of Bethel
read the indictinpnt, which, if we are
rightly informed, was nothing, if it
teas trot complimentary to the pi•isers-
ers. The funny part was that while
the charge tvas being read, Mr. Tiffin
handed Mr. Findlay a puree, which
looked as though it was stuffed with
paper (but then there are several kinds
of paper.) Then the whole besieging
array took themselves tiff as uncere-
