AND CAN! - ADA --Dr. Wild delivered his promised lecture on this subject in this town on Friday evening last. The e was a good audience, the hall heirs well filled. A tarot number from the country came - out t: hear the versatile doctor. It is not too much to say that the oftener he is heard the better he is liked, and his lecture on this occasion was, upon the whole, the best he has delivered here. It was well interspersed with wit as well as wisdom and elicited fre-. fluent laughter as well as applause from The audience. He first set out by prov- ing, to his own satisfaction at least, and we have no doubt to the satisfaction of many of his listeners s well, that Britain is Israel and froiji this stand- point he followed. out his predictions as revealed by prophecy. The future des- tiny of Britain and Canada, as he views it, is Imperial Federation o be followed t to rule the f the world. the supreme 1 nations and them will be it, so that when this Parliament is formed war will be known no more and uational difficul- ties will be adjusted by legislation in- stead of by the people ef one nation killing those of another as now. Eng- land, the United States and Germany will first join in this confederation, and then all the others will be glad to fall in with them. He paid an eloquent trib- - ute to Canada, and depicted in glowing terms the many benefits and advantages this country possesses over others. The lecture was - intensely ' interesting throughout, and was well ealculated to . inspire every listener with increased love and admiration for his country-. The lecture _ was given under the auspieea of the Mechanics' Institute and resulted satisfactorily financially. . ., . THE SALVATION ARMY AND TRE TOWN Haae.—Considerable comment has been occasioned by the action of the town council at their last meeting in passing a resolution refusing the use of the town hell to the Salvation Army, as a place in which to hold their meetings after the '23rd of November. This action was taken at the instance of a number of. petitioners, many of whom reside in the -vicinity of the hall, and ere annoyed by the =beating of drums ancfother noises occa- sioned by the army meetings. Another petition is now being gotten up and will, no doubt, be presented to the council, asking them to rescind 'the former motion, and continue to lease the hall to the army on condition that the drumbeating and other unseemly and disturbing noises be discontinued, and in -view of the fact that the season has now se far advanced that the army can not erect other suitable bidIdings for their accommodation. - A resolution similar.to the terms of this petition was voted down by a majority of the come oil when the one WithdrawiAg the useof the hail was carried. We think the council would have acted wiselyhad they adopted this resolution instead of the one they did, as by so doing they would have given satisfaction to all par- ties. We ha.' e no hesitation in saying that the druns-beating and similar noises iadulged in by the army at their meet- ings in the hall night after night, and Sunday after Sunday, is an intoler- able nuisance to those 1 living in the immediate_ vicinity, and it says muck for their spirit of toleration that they have borne the infliction uncom- plainingly so long, and had the council order taken melt steps as would suppress this they would have acted quite prop- erly. Whenthe hall was first leased to the Army it was not iatended that they shoulcl occupy a permanently, but only until such time as they could secure an- other suitable place for meeting. But they have held. undisturbed. possession of -it so long that they no deal:a naturally concluded that it was agreeable to the council they should continue to occupy it, .so long as they paid the rent de- manded, and hence they have failed to secure another place. U der these cir- cumstances it does seem harsh to turn them out at this season of the year, when they are willing to abate the nuisaace complained of We think therefore, that as the hall is not specially required for other purposes, the =moil Would only be Acting in a proper spirit - if they continue the lease to the Army during the winter months, en the distinct understanding, however, that the objectionable noises in and around the hall be diseontinued, and then when suitable weather comes for by ems Genera/ Parliame destinies of the nations This parliament will be arbiter between the sever disputes arising between 'dealt with aaid- settled b • all parties to understand that the hall would not longer be available for Army pfirposes. It is also objected that a large number of boys congregate aroullii the hall during the hours of meeting and in, this way disturb the peace of the ueighborhood. This, however, is not the fault of the Army, and they should not be held responsible for it This is a nuisance which the town authorities can very easily suppress if they choose to do so. TO.

She made extensive pur- chases when they were all totalled up. At one place she got some underclothing and outer garments and _ leaving in ex- ,&hange some old linen and other old 'apparel nicely bundled up went to look for her father and get some money. At another place she purchased and donned a new hat, left her old one to get fixed and„took herself down town tet hurry up her father and the money, he having gone down' to Fair's mill with a load of grain, and had either forgotten to call for her co missed the store. Her next visit was for the purpose of securing a mantle. Here she selected a choice piece of silk for thet sort of a garment, bought a lot of other ge,ods went to the 'door occasionally to see if father was not coming "from the mill." A bright idea a.bout this time pertneated the innocent mind of the young lady. She would take the silk to a fashionable- mantle cutter ihd have it fashioned out to suit her lovely form, and she would also hurry up father, as it was getting late. These three dry goods stores mourn the loss of their goods and "father." The old gentleman must haye got lost in coining up town from the mill, and the guileless and affectionate daughter is no doubt scouring the country in le dread- fully broken up state looking for hint. It was afterwards learned that the young lady purchased a ticket for Seaforth, but it is believed this was only done for a blind, as she did not go to Seaforth by train.—News-Recotd.. Ron' sall.
