SUNDAY SERVICES,
• The morning gave promise of splendid
weather for the day, and at an early hour
large numbers began to arrive, The early
prayer and praisemeetings were largely'
attended, and were amongst the bestof all
the services. At 10 o'clock Rev, I. Harris,
of Brussels, preached from the words
" And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,,.
will draw all men unto me." •
The sermon was thoughtful and appro-.
pi ate. A large prayer meeting, followed,.
and the congregation dispersed for dinner.
At 2 p.m. Rev, W. McDonagh conducted
the service, and preached from Psalm 1-3
and 4, being a centred between the con-
dition of the righteous and the ungodly,
both in time and eternity. The blessing
.of God rested upon the service, and the
large congregation, fully 3,000, appeared
deeply impressed by the truths spoken.
The sermon was one` of practical applioa
tion, and bore more nearly upon man's.
every day life and conduct. Rev. Mr.
Hadwin took charge of the after meeting,
lasting about' half. an hour, when the con-
negation joined in singing ca My heavenly

LIVE SToCic SALE.—The fifth annual
sale of thoroughbred and'iniproved stock,
under the auspices :of'the Hllron Live
Stock Association, which takes place in
this town, on the-- 19th of October, pro-
mises to be a success in.so far as the num-
ber of
um-berof entries are concerned, as several of.
the most prominent breeders of ,thorough-
bred stock have already . entered: quite , a
number of' aninl als,•which will, of them-
selves, make a very respectable sale, and
the'probabilityis that quite a• uumber of
extra entries will be made at the time of
sale. There willlikely be a number of
buyers present, and we confidently look,
forward to the. sale being a good success.
TastinS .AND HvMi1UCs.--This• town was
infested, on Tuesday by a crowd of the
coolest swindlers'that ever drew .breath;
and we are sorry to say that they succeed-
ed in -getting quitea. number who should
have: known better than to':be gulled.
The principal game was the old soap trick
—so many packages for a'dollar, and one
of them opposed to contain a one Or. two
dollar bill. Their dupes bit like Bah' after
a rain storm, and the individualloasesran.
from one to thirty dollars. One poor fel-
low was so cleaned out that he had not'
sufficient to pay -for taking his girl to the.
show. Three sharpers tried a confidence
game on Mr. W. McQueen, but the inter-
vention, of a friend saved itinz•froin: being
bitten. • 'The swindlers reaped 'a rich har-
vest, and the only 'consolation the losers
have is to wander. how they •were' foolish
enough to:,invest their money and hope to
beat a sharper at hls'owri-ams.
THE DOHERTY ORGAN; - Our para-
graph last week in regard to . the Doherty
Organ,'at'the Toronto Industrial Exhibi-
tion, may have been misunderstood by
some, We wore given to understand that
the exhibits shown' by other manufactur-
ers were 'not equal to those, of last ,year,
but had no intention ofever insinuating
that the Doherty exhibit was inferior.—
From a number who visited the exhibition
we learn that, on the whole, the Doherty
Organ Co. made by far Oh best show, It
must also be borne in mind that whilst
other manufacturers made up, special in-
struments for the exhibition, some of them
costing more than three times' the usual
catalogue price, the Doherty exhibit Was
the same as their every day stock, All.
these things considered, the Company, in
our oppinin, received the highest honors.
The Diploma awarded them states the
was given for improvements in valve tre-
molo simplicity of construction of grand
organ attachment, -quality of tone and fi-
nish of ease work. The fact that every
organ they had On exhibition was sold,
and orders taken for a large number more,
speaks viilumest and was the best diploma
that could be give,;. '
