Mr. Hobbs, of the Colborne Street Methodist Church, Brantford, has aroused a, sensation in his congre- gation by sendingcirculars to them, soliciting their opinions on'the modern dance question. .A. largely attended meeting, of the congregation was held to discuss the matter. The meeting was hot, bait ended with the doxo- logy and benediction. The adjourned vestry meeting was held in. the Trivitt Memorial School house last Monday evening, when the auditors presented their report, certifying to the correctness of the church wardens accounts, which, upon motion, were received. Power was given to the wardens to raise monies to meet the Rector's stipend and to ask the executive committee for permis- sion to consolidate the debt. The opinion prevails among mili- tary men that Col. Alymer, Assist. Adjutant -General of Militia, willshort- ly be appointed Adjutant -General, and that the office of Assistant Adjutant - General will be abolished. Major Boy, of Montreal, it is said, will be appointed D. A. G. of Ottawa dis- trict to perform a portion of the dit- ties now done by Col. Aylmer. The other morning the house of Jas. Ballantyne, east of Winchelsea, was burned to the ground, including all the contents, and the inmates barely escaped with their lives.

G. Field, of Wing'Itam, r. Lewis is acting for the crown, and Mr. Vanstone for the defence. A large number of witnesses were examined. It was shown that the prisoners were in Wilson's barn when the men blackened their faces previous to going to Field's, but there was no evidence to show that either of them was present at the alleged outrage. The crown attorney considered the prisoners implicated on account of be- ing at the barn meeting, where the plan was formed. • Mr. Vanstone claimed there was no plan, consequently no evidence to show the prisoners guilty. The police magistrate reserved his decision till 11 oelock to day, when he gave his decision in Goderich that Net- terfield and Martin should be com- mitted for trial. A PROMINENT LONDONER.
