Children Cry for C,.c�; STORIAr Greenway, On Monday evening, Dee. 5th, the Ladies' Aid of the Boston Methodist church and a large number of their gentlemen friends met and drove to the residence of Mr. Wm. Sberrit and surprised Mr. Sherritt, nee Miss Jenny Whiteside, who has been a faithful worker in the church and Sabbath School for several years, and presented her with a beautiful lamp, a sofa, two large arm chairs, a purse of money, and a carefully written address. Mr. and Mrs. Skerritt were greatly surpris- ed but made the large company wel- come and they enjoyed a very pleasant evening together. Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again.- Messrs. James Wallace and John Sher rift met with a warm and startling re- ception in the Methodist church one night recently. It appears the gas ma- chine was out of order and had not been used for several weeks. They went in with a lamp and thinking there was no gas took the cap off the gaso- meter which contained a small quanti ty of gas. It exploded, knocking the lamp out of Mr. Wallace's hand and in filleting a small cut on the chin. Mr. Sherritt fared worse, the blaze'flashed in his face, burning him considerably and at the same time completely blind- ing him.. On examination the only damage done was to the top of the gas- ometer and .one glass window blown out. The Guelph Acetylene Gas Gen- erator Co., were notified, who sent Mr. Codman up and the damage was soon repaired and put in two new genera- tors of improved pattern which lit the church up beautifully in a. few minutes. The trustees of the church feel confident that the church is safor from accident by fire than if lighted by oil lamps, and if the gas machine is at• tended to in daylight there is no dan- ger whatever. -We received word • by telephone last Monday that Mr. Wm.

TIIE STonx,-Well Mr. Editor we noticed in several papers last week re• poxes of the recent storm which we think are,quite correct. We sketch a few items to let the outside world know how it was in aur vicinity. It came on Sunday afternoon and the auow fell Sodom Some years ago stealing was almost unknown, but recently poultry theiv- ing is quite common, every resident having lost hens, geese or turkeys. As the persons were suspected and knew it, a short respite followed, only break out with renewed vi er to g , many persons losing hens, etc. Last Saturday night S. C. Prouty's henuery was invaded, one large gobler and two turkey hens being stolen and another left with a broken leg. Two persons were engaged in the theft, as the tracks of the persons were discovered, leaving the road, entering the barn yard and returning to the road again by a dif ferent route. However, the tracks were followed, here and there turkey feathers being found on the snow, within a short distance of the where- abouts of the missing turkeys. Con- sidering that the evidence in hand was sufficient to justify further pro- ceedings, the followers returned and placed the work of further investiga- tion into other hands. Thefts of var- ious things are being committed in different localities hereabouts, but the officials of the law and victims of theft are too carless or indifferent to the in- terests of the community, and those thieves are allowed to go on with their nefarious traffic. Some victim will take the law in his own hand, and de fend his property by a way that will not be pleasant or agreeable. This compromising business on the part of the victims of theft is not in accord- ance with law, or justice t0 the com- munity. -The Sunday School Christ mas Tree Entertainment will take. place here on Thursday evening, Dec. 22. A splendid program has been arranged, and an interesting time may be expected.

Ddceased was 71 years of age and bad passed the greater part of her life in McGillivray.

The esteem lewhich the bride is held was abund- antly manifested by the large number of costly, useful and beautiful presents Mr. and Mrs Hays will reside in Sea - forth.

Shirray last week that her son, Nichol who resides in Manitoba had his left arm so badly mangled by the gearing of a grain crusher in which it got caught that amputation above the el- bow was found to be necessary. Much sympathy is felt and expressed by everyone over the occurrence. St. Marys: Mrs. Laughton, of Sault Ste Marie, died at that place on Satur- day. The deceased was the relict of the late Malcolm Laughton, who for some 25 years resided ill St. Marys, carrying on the business of merchant tailor. She moved to the Sault some five or six years ago. The remains were brought on Tuesday to St. Marys for burial. Your Danger Now Is from the overwnnced condition of the liver and kidnt . a which are unable to expel impuritiee from the blood.

It tones the stomach, stimulates the liver, and arouses and sustains the kidneys. It wards off pueumonia, fevers, bronchitis, colds, coughs and the grip. Annie Hughey, a girl of seventeen years, committed suicide near Thornton by hanging. Henry Leconte, while felling trees near Ridgetown, was struck on the head by a limb of a small maple tree and killed. A horse driven by Miss D. Warren near Thamesville ran away and dashed into a moving train.

Wingham : About five o'clock on Thursday morning, the alarm of fire aroused our citizens. A dwelling house on Minnie street owned and occupied by Mrs. Kincaid was found to be on lire and the inmates had barely time to escape. So rapidly did the flames spread that noneof the clothing or household. goo:is were saved. There are. eight of a family, and were left des- titute and homeless. A subscription was presented to -day in their behalf by Mr. Lloyd, and our citizens are respond- ing liberally as they always do incases of need. Children Cry for CASTOR IA.
