He was married, while in Wingham, to Miss Thornton of Woodstock, who survives him. Taken Tod Lon on. Mr, Wm. Yeo, a respected resident near Wroxeter, whom we reported in poor health last week, has recently given evidence that his mind was af- fected.

Pretty Home Wedding. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Gannett of Diagonal street was the scene of a quiet but pretty home wedding on Tuesday evening of this week, when their daughter, Miss Jessie, became the bride of Mr. Milton ' Howell of Preston. The ceremony was perform- ed by Rev. D. Perrie at 8 o'clock. The bride '"and groom were unattended. After congratulations, a tasty wedding repast was enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. Howell left on Wednesday 'Horning for their home in Preston. Reception. The congregation of St. Paul's Church, will tender a reception to their new Rector, Rev. T. S. Boyle, and Mrs. Boyle, on Tuesday evening next, in the school room of the church. A short program has been arranged, and light refreshments will be served. All members of the con- gregation are invited to attend, and it is hoped that those of other denomina- tions will take this opportunity of meeting the new Rector. Program will begin at 8.15; silver collection at the door. A Thoughtful Act. While the fire was raging in the Button Block, a short time ago; Mrs. Richard Clegg, kindly thought of the firemen, who were out in the storm and cold, fighting the flames and pro- tecting property, She at once set to work and prepared coffee and sand- wiches for the firemen. That this kind act was appreciated, is evident, for at their next, monthly meeting, g the firemen passed a vote of thanks to Mrs. Clegg, for her thoughtful kind- ness to them that cold and stormy morning, With the near approach of Xmas, shoppers are already availing them- selves of the opportunity to secure suitable X.mals, presents at the Bank- rupt Sale. Remember our assortment in the above is good and prices to suit every pocket.—Ritchie's old stand. An Alberta Vote, Here is an item that will give our readers an idea of the formation of Alberta constituencies. In the recent elections, a Mr, Jackson (brother-in- law of A. E. 13ratlwin of the Blyth Standard) was the Conservative can- didate, The constituency is 18 miles across and 150 miles Iong. In all this territory, only 010 votes were polled. Mr. Jackson received 205, and his op- ponent rejoiced in halving 375 votes. In one place, not a single voter ap- peared to poll his vote, so the deputy- returning officer voted for one candi- date, and the poll -clerk for the other. The connting of the ballots at this poll was an easy task, and the officers had an all -day snap. A, Turnberry Wedding. On Wednesday of this week, the house of Mr. and Mrs. August Hontuth wens enlivened by a festive event, the marriage of their daughter, Miss Ida Florence, to Mr. Jaynes Porter, also of Turnberry, son of Mr, and Mrs. Rich, Porter of town. A large number of guests were invited to witness the in- teresting ceremony and share in the festivities, The bric'lo was attended by her sister, Miss Lizzie Roruuth, and the groom by his brother, Mr. Al- bert Porter, of Detroit. Rev. D. Per- rin spoke the inomentons words that forntecl the life-long contract, at 4.30 p.m. Congratulations followed, and then the guests gave tlu'ir attention to the tastily -prepared wedding din- ner. The evening passed pleasantly by, and the guests departed leaving behind thein many useful and valu- able tokens of esteem for the newly- married ewlymarried couple, who have Hosts of friends, who wish for them a1 happy and prosperous future, Mr, and Mrs. Porter will reside on the groom's farm in Turiiberry.

Executive ' Meeting. The executive committee of Wing - ham District Epworth League met in Wingham on Friday last ; members present—Rev's • Dr. Gundy, W. A. Smith, A. E. Jones, also Mrs. Pat- tison, Misses Staples and Lloyd. After several items of business had been disposed s osecl of, discussion took P place concerning the work to be undertaken by the district officers, who, it was decided, should write to vice-presidents, encouraging system- atic, energetic work in all depart- ments. It was also resolved to hold a Sumner School, and Rev's Smith and Jones, and Mr, Jno. Kerr were ap- pointed a committee to engnire into finance, place, time, talent, etc., and report at next meeting, Jan. 9th. In Railway Wreck. Mrs. 0. M. Walker and children ar- rived home from Winnipeg on Wed- nesday evening. On their way home, they were on board the 0. P. R. train that was partially wrecked, but very fortunately, the Toronto sleeping car, in which Mrs. Walker was, escaped injury. The wreck occurred twelve miles east of Sudbury. A returning harvester was hurt in both legs, and was taken to the hospital at North Bay, but the other passengers escaped with a shaking up. The mail car left the track and two baggage coaches followed. These toppled over on their sides after running 250 yards, but came to a standstill two feet from a thirty-foot embankment, The gas tank in the mail car exploded, and tho car went up in smoke. The mail burned contained letters from all points east of Calgary, as well as the British Columbia and Yukon mails, The Postal Department is ender no liability for' mail destroyed in such a manner, It was fortunate that the sleeping car did not leave the track, and well also that the whole train did not go over the embankment.

Again, the sadness and glootn .of bereavement has fallen upon the home of Mr. John Hooey, and early on Friday morning last, his daughter, Miss Lottie J., passed away. The de- ceased was born on the town line of Carrick and Howiek, and for many years was a resident of the vicinity of Lakelet, where the entire fancily en, joyed the highest esteem and made many true friends. About a year ago, Mr, Hooey, his sots and daughter, cane to reside in Wingham, and soon found a place its the esteem of our eiti- zens, Miss Hooey had been in failing health for the past few months, but only until a short time ago, did it ap- pear that death was so near, She had chosen the Christian life early iu childhood, and many testify that to come in conversation) with her, WAS to be uplifted and benefitted. Two bro- thers remain, Wellington, at home, and Oscar, of Rico Lake, Wisconsin, but none will miss her so mach in the home as her aged father, who will keenly feel the loneliness of his posi- tion. The funeral took enlace on Sun- day, to the cemetery at Lakelet, the old home. Rev's Mooney of Clifford and Liddy of Harrlston conducted the funeral service. Mr. hooey deeply appreciated the kindness of his neigh - hors in the hour of trial, and tenders then( his sincere thanks. He is think- - ing of spending the winter with his son in 'Wisconsin, but in that case will return to '1Vingbatn In the spring. Mr. Oscar hooey, brother of deceased, arrived on Saturday from Wisconsin, to attend the funeral, E. R. FITCH, B. A. A NEW PASTOR. Next Sunday, Dec. 3rd, I . R. Fitch, l, B. A., will begin his work as pastor of Wingham Baptist Church, and will preach both morning and evening. His morning subject will be "The body of Christ"; the evening snbject, "The Eternal Magnet." Mr. Fitch is a graduate in Arts in McMaster University, and is at pres- ent pursuing a theological course in the same institution. As a student, he has made for himself an excellent reputation. In his last two years, though pastor of a large country Church and carrying much extra work, he took first -glass honors in all his subjects, winning the Crawford scholarship. This is given to the man having theological work in view, who takes highest average standing in the last three years of his Arts' course. But Mr. Fitch is not merely a stu- dent ; he is a man among men. Dur- ing his University career, he has been a member either of the Rugby or As- sociation football team. His popu- larity is evidenced by his election to the position first of Vice -President, and lastly of President of the Athletic Association. He has also successfully debated for bis year. His experience in pastoral work has been large, and in all his churches, he has been successful. n fil. He bringshis to new charge, a strong, rugged phy- sique, a well-trained mind and an op- timistic spirit. Mr. Fitch's grand- father was known as "Elder Fitch," the pioneer of Baptist missionary work in the Lake Eric district. An uncle, is Baptist State Evangelist for South Carolina. • Mr. Fitch will be ordained on com- pletion of his theological course in June next. The Advance wishes him much success as pastor of Wingham Baptist Church. Has Resigned. Wingham's esteemed. citizen, Con- ductor Quirk, of the London ran, has tendered his resignation to the G. T. R. after forty years service, and ex- pects to make his last trip in a few weeks. The Clinton News -Record says—"There is no official on the sys- tem better known and liked than the genial i John nal c 1 uirlc and on the L. II & B. his jovial personality will long be missed. Here's hoping that. he may long enjoy his long -earned ease." December Weather. Rev. Irl Hicks has this to say of the weather from December 8rd to loth :— By the 3rd, falling barometer and change to warmer will be noted in western extremes. Growing cloudi- ness will result in the same sections, and during the 4th to the 6th, first rain, then sleet and snow will visit wide areas of the country as storm conditions pass from west to east across the continent. The combined influences of Merew y and. ''emus will, in all reasonable probability, result in heavy, wide -spread sleet storms, and very low barometer, followed by violent change to blizzards. The crisis of this period will fall on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the 3rd, 4th and 5th, followed by a severe cold wave which will be felt in most parts of the country, lasting until about the 8th. A regular storm period is central on the 10th, extending from the 8th to the 13th, Our little globe passes a magnetic and meteorological erisis an- nually, from about December fith to ISth. This is not only on account of the winter solstice perturbation, which extends from the 10th to the 25th of December, but the angle of the Earth's north polar axis to the equator of the Sun is such as to pro- voke a maximum of electrical and magnetic antagonism at this time. Hence there is abnormal tendency to general winter storms on ]and and sett. By about Saturday the 8th, a deeided change to warmer, with rapid- ly falling barometer, will be noted in western extremes. These conditions will bring on increasing cloudiness, moving eastward, and from about the 10th to the 13th inclusive, severe and general winter storms will snake their transit over the eonntry. These storms will reach their culminating erisis within forty-eight hours of sun- set on the 11th. Look for satins at the on -coming of these storms, especially to the southward, but be prepared for change to northwesterly blizzards as the storms move eastward, and for a genuine December cold wave to follow with the rising barometer behind the stortans.

Guest is very much afflicted at present, No less than four members of the fancily are ill with fever—Joseph, Miss Lottie, Fred, and Mies Verna. Sickness is always trying, but more especially, when such a deluge of it comes at once and fonr'members of the family are laid aside, We trust the siege will not be long or serious, but the fever generally takes its own time with its victims. Sentenced To Penitentiary. In the criminal court on Friday last, at Woodstock, Alfred Pugh was sentenced to seven years, and Norman Orr tothree years ye s rn Kingston peni- tentiary on the charge of horse -steal- ing. It will be remembered that the two mets were arrested in Wingham after they had driven from Drenthe, in Oxford county, with the horse and outfit. The case came before Judge Finkle, who complimented Chief Van- norman on the capture of the pair. Neither of the men were represented by counsel, but Pugh conducted his own defence in a manner that would have done credit to a young lawyer. He cross-gnestioned the witnesses and took advantage of atnything that might tell in his favor, snaking a flat denial, so far as theft was concerned. Neither of the prisoners, however, was able to convince the judge of his innocence, and when the evidence was all in there was such a mass of direct testimony against them that His Honor felt quite safe in convicting thein. 7n Pugh's case the crown brought out a record against him that told somewhat in the sentence passed upon hits. He has done several terms in the penitentiary, and His Honor expressed the hope that by the time both were out, they would be convinc- ed that the path of rectitude is the best.

The Induction service in Trinity Church, Belgrave, on Thursday after. noon of last week, was very impres- sive and was well attended, Ven. Archdeacon Richardson conducted the service, and was assisted by Rev. A. M. LangFord of Brussels, Rev. Sanders of Lucknow and the new In- cumbent, Rev, W. Hartley. The Archdeacon read the Bishop's mandate of induction, after which Mr, Frank Metcalf, Warders of Trinity church, Blyth, replied on behalf of the parish acknowledging their willing- ness to act in obedience to the man- date of the Lord Bishop of the Dio- cese, and inducted the new incumbent into the real, actual and corporeal pos- session of the incumbency of the parish, after which Mr, R. McMurray of Belgrave, handed the newly induct- ed Incumbent, the keys of the church, as a token of possession. The Incumbent on receiving the keys, promised to be a faithful pastor over his new flock, and was then pre- sented with a copy of the Holy Scrip- tures and Book of Common Prayer, by the Archdeacon, who charged him to let these books be the rule of his conduct, and that he should be in all things a pattern to the flock commit- ted to his care. After this, evening prayer was said ; then followed an ap- propriate and forceful sermon by the Archdeacon. The whole service was very solemn and full of meaning, and those present were much benefit- ted and impressed. In the evening, a fowl supper was given in the Foresters' Hall ; this was much enjoyed. The Large crowd. did not embarass the ladies, who had pro- vided the good things in quantity enough and to spare. After supper, addresses were given in the church by Mr: Frank Metcalf, who presided, and Rev. T. S. Boyle of Wingham, Rev. Langford of Brussels, Rev. Sanders, Lucknow, and the new Incumbent. The addresses were interspersed with sacred music, rendered by the choir and others. 'Taken in all, the after, noon service and evening entertain- ment must have been productive of much spiritual good. The people of the parish seem well pleased with their new pastor, and he with them.
