James Livingstone, of London, will preach missionary sermons in the James Street Methodist Church on Sunday- next. Collections and aub- scriptions will be taken in behalf of the fund, Mr, Livingstone is an elo- quent preacher and will doubtless he greeted by large congregations. The preceding notice appeared in last week's issue, but owing to the snow blockade Mr. Livingstone did not ar- rive, consequently the Missionary ser- vices have been postponed until Sun- dae, Feb. 26. George 11. Kirk, the fifteen year old son of Mr. Win. Kirk, died on Monday List from the effects of double pneu- monia. The youngfellow had been sick only a few days but it was seen from the first that his case was a serious one and that there was but very little chance for his recovery. Hot water baths were recommended by his physician and it was while in one of these that he succumbed. His remains were taken to Kirktou for interment. The bereaved parents have the sym- pathy of their friends. Blyth Standard of last week says: —"Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Crittenden re- ceived a warm reception yesterday morning. Between six and seven o'clock smoke was seen issuing from their bed -room and upon investigation a bath robe was discovered on Hre. Mrs. Crittenden immediately grabbed it and threw it outside, burning her bands and arms badly while doing so. Some other clothing and the walls or the room were seriously damaged by the blaze. How the fire originated is a mystery, as there was no fire or light in that part of the room." Mrs. Crit- tenden was formerly Miss Emma Pen - bale, of this place. The railway blockade of last week was broken en Saturday night about 10.90. A snow -plough driven by four engines succeeded in clearing the track of the mass of snow that bad accumu- lated upon it during the preceding days. The plow was shortly after followed by a passenger train from London, carrying a number of belated travellers, On Sunday afternoon a southbound train also passed through. The freight trains that had not been running on this line for a week, arriv- ed on Monday. The recent thaw put the snow that had already' fallen in a condition that it cannot he blown about, so that nothing but a heavy fall of snow accompanied by a high wind should succeed in hioekading the road again, and that is not a probable con- dition at this season.
