The reason is not stated, but is believed to fee due to a combination of circum- stances. The Government have found istit the mistakes they have made, Wad intend to rectify them as far as Voseible. Fafe blowings,postoffice and general robberies, and hold-ups have been of frequent occurrence all over Ontario 4irc. teent months, and Sunday a tientatly following a bold -up resulted in ashooting of an officer at Windsor. alio frequent*" of these crimes, and the rate, that in fewcases are the of - faders caught, suggestsonce more the ineed of an ' improved system of rural trace, possibly some such ararnge- latent aitsvas three years ago proposed au*Ont!erio Government, but whieh Las never 'been acted upon.

The Red River, whose overflowing as recently caused much trouble to *resideitts in the town of Emerson, dtoba, and the low-lying territory its course, takes its rise in anIfinnesota, almost 300 miles of Winnipeg, and traverses a .arly level plain until itreaches Lake iitirknipeg. Its 'source is at an eleva- ttba 1,160 feet above the sea, and sybere it enters Canada it is 767 feet above sea level. The ricer flows 'through a territory which was the bed ot a lake (now -known as Lake Ages- siz) in the last glacial period. The chief use of the periodical floods of this steam arises flour its flowing to te. nerth. Before the ice in the far b 'connections of the river has earl, the warm sun at the southern extremity of the stream has thaw- ed out the ice and now. and forced a.huge volume of water northward. The result is a block, which causes the great stream to back up on all the pertions of its banks. Emerson is built at a point of thiS' description, and some parts of Wiii- ipeg• are also in the hollow. THE WAR.

Great impurities and mon- strous abominations were admitted into their ceremonies, their solemni- ties and Mysteries. Their temples were schools of licentiousness, their pictures invitations to sin. They did not know their Homer, who sung their glories and starved in their streets; theymocked and insulted St. Paul, and received from him the most cans - tic and stinging rebuke upon their ignorance that ever fell from the lips of man.

But amid the carnage and the awful horrors. which haye been brought to these poor women and children, in a course which, if it is not hopeless, is to be deplored for the still greater horrors it may bring, let us not hear mingled the worn out pathos of Marathon and Thermopyleas and of -the spirit of freedom among the Greeks. . .The Latest Views.

Commanding officers of the different corps asked to furnise men have now been notified that the order is with- drawn, and they can use their own dis- cretion in the matter.

It is authoritatively announced that no honors of this class are to be conferred. A difficulty would arise in making a. selection. Supposing the Mayors of Montreal, To' route and Ottawa were chosen, why should His Worship of Hamilton be overlooked and Halifax and St. John and Winnipeg and Victoria, and so on?

His Life During the Early Days of Methodism in Cana -da Was Often One of Great • Hardship The Story of One Now Enjoying a Ripe Old Age. From the Simcoe Reformer. In the early days of Methodism in Canada the gospel was spread abroad in the land by the active exertions of the circuit rider. It required a man of no ordinary health and strength: an iron constitution and unflagging de- termination to fulfil the arduousduties incumbent on one who undertook to preach salvation to his fellowmen, It was no easy task that these men set themselves to, but they were strong in the faith and hope of ultimate reward. Many fell by the wayside, while others struggled on and prospered, and a few are to -day enjoying a ripe old age happy in the knowledge that a lasting reward Will soon be theirs. Most of these old timers are not now engaged in active- church work, but have been placed on the superannuated list, and are now living a quiet life in town, or on a far to free hem the cares of the world, they await the cell to come up • higher. Rev. David Williams, who lives two miles southwest of Nixon, Ont., in the township of Windham, Norfolk County, was one of these early days circuit riders. He was a man of vigor- ous health and although without many advantages in the way of early educa- tion he succeeded by dint of hard and constant study in being admitted to the ministry. He was the first born in the first house built in Glen Wil- liams, near Georgetowass Mr. Geo. Kennedythe fouudef. of George 'town, being a brother of his mother. To -day he is '70 years old arid for the past, 26 years has lived in this county. l'ar many years he had been a sufferer from kidney and kindred diseases. He tried all kinds of remedies, and al- though sometimes temporarily reliev- ed -he gradually grew worse until in October 1805 he was stricken with par- alysis. From this be partially recover- ed and recovered his powers of speech but his mind was badly *reeked, and his memory was so poor that Inc could not remember the name of the person to whom he wished to speak without thinking intently for several minutes. One day driving to church be wished to speak of a neighbor who lived next to him for twenty years, but he could not recall the name for an hour or more. In addi- tion to his mental trouble, he had. intense bodily suffering; pains in the head, across the forehead, in the temples and behind the eers, across the lower part of the skull and in the joint of the neck. He had great weak- ness and pains in the back, hips and legs. In fact, so much did be suffer that sleep was almost an impossibility, and befell away in weight until he weighed only 145 pounds, By this time, Dec. 1895, he became despondent and felt that if he did not soon obtain relief, he would soon bid adieu to the things orthis world. On the 20th of December, he read of a curein the Reformer. by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and being seized with a sudden inspiration at once wrote to Brockville for a supply of that marvel- lous remedy.. Immediate gaod results followed thew use and he has improv- ed wonderfully during the past year, he has recovered his bodily health and strength, is comparatively free from pain and his memory is nearly as good as it ever was and as the improvement continues theprospects are very bright for complete recovery. He has gained 20 pounds in weight since beginning the use of :Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. 'Williams says: "I can ipeartily en- dorse the many good things said of these pills in the papers, and strongly recommend them to any one suffering as I was." • Dr, Williams Pink Pills are a blood builder and nerve restorer. They sup- ply the blood with its life and health giving properties, thus driving disease from the system. There are numer- ous .pink colored imitations, against which the public is warned.
