Mr. John Gillespie met with painful accident one day last week which might have cost him his life. He was riding on a large load of lumber when by some means the stakes of the wagon gave away, precipitating him to the ground. and the lumber falling on top of him. He was badly cut around the bead, and received other injuries. It is probable that the Toronto Board at Health will take up the low birth rate question, which at the instigation of Rev, D. Williams, M. A, rector of St. James church, has been receiving the attention of the Anglical. Synod, assembled in Montreal.

Mace, Mrs. Mace, Miss Alice Mace and Mrs, Pickering, of London, were driving west on Front street to the Union Station, Tor- onto, on Sept. 12. Yonge street car 509 crashed into the gladstone from be- hind and all its occupants were thrown out and the rig 'utterly demol ished. The driver sounded the gong, but Mrs. Pickering, who was holding the lines, found it impossible to turn out, as a car was coming east on the other track and a street sprinkler was 'just ahead. Mrs. Mace and Mrs. Pick- ering waged their hands to the motor- man of the Yonge street car to slow up, but it was too late. All the occu- pants escaped unhurt, excepting Miss Alice _Mace, who was picked up in an unconscious condition and carried into the Queen's Hotel, where Dr, A. H. Garratt, of Bay street, was hastily summoned. She was badly bruised ou the cheek, but she recovered in a short time, and her injuries are not consid- ered. serious. The horse escaped injury.

This Presbytery met in Clinton an the lath inst. A comtnuuieation was recalved intimating that the modera- tor Rev. C. Fletcher, B. A., of Thames rad, could not be present owing to serious illness. It was agreed on mo- tion of the clerk., seconded by Dr. Me - Donald, to convey to Mr, Fletcher the sympathy of the Presbytery, its grati- tude to God for the improvement iu his case and its earnest hope that his health will soon be entirely restored, The es Ornate of expenditure for the ensuing year was submitted and the treasurer authorized to raise the amount in the usual way. The following deputations were appointed to visit the augmented charges, viz : Messrs. Anderson and R, Henderson, ministers, and 'P. Me- Ewan,elcler, to visit Leeburn and Union church; Messrs, J. A. McDonald and W. Muir, ministers, and H. Reid, elder, to visit Bayfield and Bethany ; Messrs. J. S. Heederson and W. M. Martin, min- isters. and J. P.

W. Acheson be certified to the authorities of Knox College as a student of the 2nd year preparatory course. The clerk was in- structed to certify Mr. Acheson accord- ingly. With regard to the question of temperance and the plebiscite about to be taken, the Presbytery adopted the 5th and 6th recommendations of the General Assembly on this question as its deliverance and recommended that said recommendations be read by our ministers from the pulpit before the vote is taken. The following are the recommendations: (5th) "The Assem- bly desires to renew deliverances of past years ou the subject of temperance declaring the general traffic in intoxi- cating drink to be contrary to the Word of God and to the spirit of the Christian religion, that total prohibition is the true goal of all efficient temper ance legislation and that the Church of Christ can make no compromise with a traffic that is in such deadly antagun• ism to all human happiness, all social virtues and all religious life" (6th). " That in view of the approaching pleb- iscite the recommendation of last As sembly be renewed, viz: "That our people are hereby earnestly exhorted to use their utmost endeavors in every lawful way to carry the plebiscite in favor of prohibition by an overwhelm- ing majority, and thus free the church from one of its deadliest foes, our land from untold misery and crime and our modern civilization from its direst re- proach and shame."

It will be sad news to many to learn of the death of ;Miss Lizzie Nelson, daughter of Mr. R. Nelson, of London, formerly of Exeter, which sad event took place in that city Sept. 11th, at the age of 22 years. Consumption was the cause of death, she having contracted that dread disease several months ago. She was -of nice appear- ance, lady -like and was a universal favorite. In her position as milliner she made many warm friends, who will mourn her early demise. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends both here and in Lon- don, must Bars be Closed. There is some difference of opinion as to the position of the hotels in the ap- proaching plebiscite election. Many claim that the bars must be closed on the day that the vete is taken, while others contend that the Act does not so specify. The Act, however, states that the same proceedings, as nearly as may be had•shall govern the taking of the vote as in the ease of a general Domin- ion election. At a well•attended meet- ing of the Ontario License -Holders' .As- �•sociation, held Tuesday, a protracted discussion on the coming plebiscite vote and the question as to keeping the bar- rooms open on that day took place. Mr, James Haverson, solicitor for the asso ciation, was of opinion that there was no law to compel the closing of bar- rooms on tde day iu question and some of the members were anxious to make a test of it, but as other eminent author- ities had given the opinion that it was against the law to open the bar -rooms, the association decided to allow each hotel -man to use his own discretion. It is understood that the association has been 'notified from hotel men in coun- try districts that they purpose keeping open on plebiscite day.
