While he maintains that position he will be furthering the best interests of the Province at large." —The depravity of human nature was perhaps never more fully illus- trated than in the case of Josephine Carr, aged 13, a Toronto girl. Last week, she stole a nine -months' olcl baby in its go-cart, deliberately threw the child over a 00 foot embankment, and after it was dead, stripped it of its clothes, and purposed selling the go-cart. —When the facts about the admin- istration of the license law under the late Government are made fully day, June 7th.

Inward religion, without the out- ward show of it, is like a tree without fruit, useless ; and the outward show of religion without inward sincerity is like a tree without heart, lifeless. Rev. W. H. Snelgrove, B.A., of Del- hi, has been elected as successor to ofthe Angli- can E.A. Hallas rector g can churches in Gerrie, Fordwich and Wroxeter. Mr, Snelgrove has con- sented to go and the Bishop will be requested to make the appointment without delay. The annual May district meeting of the Methodist Church on Wingham district is being held as we go to press, commencing Tuesday at 2 p.m., and continuing until Wednesday afternoon ; report is necessarily held over till next week. Evangelistic services are being con- tinued in the Methodist church this week. Miss Morton preached two ex- cellent sermons on Sunday last to at- tentive audiences, and at the close of each service conducted an evangelistic effort. Next Sunday will be the clos- ing day of the services ; Miss Morton will conduct them. It appears from the annual report, just issued, that the Church of Eng- land League—as the militant anti - Ritualist society founded by Lady Wimborne is now called—has during the past year made steady progress both in numbers and influence. Over 2,300 new members have been enroll- ed, including a larger proportion of clergy than formerly, and the total membership is now more than 15,000. Monday last was the four hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Knox, the great Scottish reformer, and in honour of the event a great sheeting was held in Edinburgh, Scot- land, the scene of Knox's labours and of his death. In many Presbyterian churches in this country special re- ferences were made on Sunday last to the man who dict so much for Scotland and for the world. The congregation of St. Helen's Presbyterian Church sincerely regret the resignation of Rev. S. M. Whaley, B. A., their esteemed pastor.

The subjects that are clown for discussion are of snore than usual interest. ' There is a proposal for the Assembly to drop the Westminster Confession and substitute in its place a concise statement of doctrine. It is hardly likely that the proposal will carry, though its discussion may pave the way for a change being made at some future Assembly. COOPER & CO r ueaeseorir to Alex. Host) i.1111YarlYarrrll� Provincial Secretary Hanna has given one case. The license -holder testifies that he had to pay $1,610 for his first license, and from $450 to $700 every three months. He had to sell after hours to make ends meet. Surely it was time the license system went through a housecleaning process, such as Hon. Mr. Hanna has commenced. — A gentleman from the United States, in speaking to the Advance re- cently, expressed the opinion that "Canada was all right, a good country to live in," and possessing abundant resources if only properly conserved. Of course, he said, she is young yet, but capable of wonderful develop- ment. He also expressed his intention of coming to reside in Canada. In connection with this, we note that one of the large electrical machinery com- panies of the United States has decid- ed to establish a plant in Montreal. With the west attracting the farmers to its prairies and wheat growing lands,and the east inducingmanufac- turers, Canada must develop wonder- fully in the next decade.

It is hoped the wild oats will be turned down so deep that they will no longer be a nuisance oe this valuable farm. Jake says that he has plowed up thistle roots which he believes have been in the land for over half a century. — There are certain concerns in the United States which buy up enormous quantities of apple cores, apple par- ings, cheap apples that have fallen from the trees, etc., and make tons and tons of jelly from them, They put that body jelly away until there is a demand for jelly of a particular flavor, and then they make it up as re Hired—gas DerrY. strawberry, cux- sant, or whatever else—all out of the same tank. They put in color and flavor to suit. It has been ascertained by the Pure I'oocl Commission, that jams are generally made of boiled, mashed turnips, flavored as desired. Strawberry jam made of turnips has a little timothy seed added to imitate the seeds of the strawberry. —Premier Whitney continues to show his fitness for the position in which Ontario has placed him.

On two occasions last week, he gave evi- dence of carrying out ante -election promises, and removing evils that pre- vailed under the Ross government. 1st—He established the rule that while he is Premier, no perpetual fran- chises shall be given to any man or body of men. 2nd—In refusing to allow the Bill for the Radial railway to go through, he carried out the prin- ciple that ho enunciated while in op- position, viz, -that important legisla- tion involving valuable franchises, or heavy expenditure, should not be rushed through the Legislature in the closing hours of a session, or without full consideration. This practice which 'prevailed under G. W. Ross, will not be allowed, Mr. Whitney says, while he is Prontier.

McKnight of Newbridge had the misfortune on Friday last -to lose his barn and straw sheds by fire. These buildings were only built about three years ago and no cause can be assigned for this disastrous conflagra- tion as it occurred early in the after- noon. In the. building were about 100 hogs of which 30 were burned also 100 head' of cattle, 16 of which were destroyed. Desperate attempts were made to save the balance of the stock but the intense heat drove the res- cuers out of the building. An impromptu gathering of the members of St. Stephen's Church, Gorrie, took place at the rectory on Monday evening, May 15th, the object being a farewell to Rev. and Mrs. E. A. Hall and family on the eve of their departure for their new home in Dor- chester, N.B. The parishioners took advantage of the occasion by present- ing the Rev. gentleman with" a hand- some gold watch bearing his mono- gram and the inscription "Presented to the Rev. A, E. Hall by the congre- gation of St. Stephen's Church, Gor. rio, May 15th 1005," and to Mrs. Hall an exceedingly pretty combination silver sugar bowl, spoonholder and spoons, while the Choir presented her with a handsome rug and set of portieres. The Rev. gentleman and family have left for their new home. While a bilious attack is decidedly unpleasant it is quickly over when Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets are used.

Mrs. Bruce is it sister of Messrs. Brandon. John Cocltes, 3rd line, Morris, has purchased a fine shorthorn thorough- bred bull, imported from England by W. J. Biggins of Clinton; it is 0 really magnificent animal. We are pleased to see Mr. Conites snaking such strides in the way of thoroughbreds, having already nine fine thoroughbred cows and a number of their descendants, making altogether a very large herd. A visit to his farm and through his buildings would show what push and energy can accomplish. CHINA WEDDING.—On Friday even- ing, May 10111, Mr. and Mrs. W. C.

After tea, the evening was spent in conversation, music and games, everyone having a good. time.
