BARN AND GRANARY BIInNaD.-Shortly after 6 80 on Tuesday evening of this week the log barn and frame granary on the 50 -acre farm of Wm. Oakley, e miles South of Brussels were destroyed by fire, and the °entente as well. The born contained 20 tone of bay, a quantity of straw, a gang plow, narrow plow, land roller, mower, seed drill, hay rake, deo., and in the granary were stored 50 or 60 bnshsls of oats. An effort was made to get out some of the implements, but the fire, fanned by a strong wind, was .too Sarno, and prevented people from getting near the burning building. It is quite evident that it was the work of an in• oendiary, as Mr. Oakley had not been at the barn fon several daya, es he peeps his stook at the frame barn aoroee the road, He only moved hie sheep front', the log barn on Thursday of last week or they would have gone too very probably. Mr. Oakley was in Brusaele when the fire took plane, and Mre, Oakley was at the frame barn where the oowe ere kept on the Grey side, when the alarm was given. Those who got there early say the fire was started in bbd South side of the barn and traoks ware seen in the field leading to the barn. The buildings ware insured for $150 and the contents for 5700 in the Howiok Mutual. It i0 about 2 yenta since the granary, 17x20 feet, was put up. Mr. Oakley says dere ing the past week he found bis stable doors unhooked one morning and a eow that was in the barnyard inside. He thought he had missed obop and oats al different times, 'ltitesdiey night was a bad one for a fire, and it is fortunate that the flames were confined to the barn and granary. Wednesday morning Mr, Oakley notified Secretary Moierober, Wroxeter, of the fire, and the officials interested will no doubt promptly attend to the adjustment of the loss. Quite a crowd gathered at the fire Tuesday night ars it oould be seen for miles. Wood hauling bees were held last week by Edward Littlefair and Wm, Ward. The delivery was made at Blyth. leliee Ida Harland who has been visit. ing her sister, Mrs. Geo, Page, of the first line, has returned home to Clinton.

GLeANINoe FROM SIINBHINE.-A Thank. offering meeting was held in .the Sun- shine Methodist cherish on Thanksgiving night, under the direction of the Ep- worth Lague. Thiess who failed to at- tend missed a treat. The singing of the little ohildren was good ; all the readings and mocio, both vocal and inetrumenlal, being of the highest order, in keeping with the objeots of the League, that of Looking up and Lifting. up, to the elevat- ing of the mind and sonl, both in this life and that whish is to come. The re - porta from the District Epworth League Convention were given by the pastor, Rev. F. J. Oaten, and the League Preei. dent, Wm. Hunter, in a very able man- ner, and were listened to with attention and profit by all. The Forward Move. ment ie accepted by the League, a silver collection being taken which is to be ap- plied to the Missionary Fund.

The response was most generous, $54.00 being plaoed on the plate. On Monday following, Nov. 28th, a surprise party from Bayfield visited the Parsonage and deposited in the barn 60 bushels of oats, and in the seller of the parsonage several bushels of potatoes. Some wood, potatoes and money are yet to be contributed, together with a load of oats from Cole's appoint. meet. The kindnees of this people to Mr. Shaw-inolnding all denominations -during his afflietion bas been meet manifest. Words fail to convey his appreeiatioo of their generous ants, prayers and sympathies. Mrs. Shaw, thanks to a kindly Providence, is steadily advancing towards normal health. Many thanks are due and are tendered Rev. Mr. Graham for the brotherly interest he hag taken in Mr. Shaw and his wife's welfare, by a grateful oongre• gation and an appreciative pastor.
