Eta - 10. -in your issue of the 2nd- inst. ap- peers an item above the signature of ..Binevale BaseBall Admirer," in which lie pretends to correct something that I sad regarding the match between the home team and a team from Bluevale and Wingham. He says, "In the first eace„ your correspondent says, it was a team from Bluevale and Wingham" Ka corrects (?) this by stating that the only player from Wingham is the cap - Able of the Bluevale club. A very ,simange correction this! Instead of cor- recting he merely corroborates what I said. Again, he refers to the 20 runs lade in the sixth innings and corrects ,by admitting that my statement of this fact is else true. He closes thus: 41About playing at Bluevale the Gorrie • respondent may come over and he will ascertain that respectable people always attend the gamea here." In re- ply your Gorrie correspondent has to say that it is not necessary for him to go s to Bluevale to see respectable people witness a base ball match. Further, not only do respectable people of Gorrie attend the mat,ches,but they also play in our club. Base ball players respectable ? y,; in our club are young men who do not disgrace themselves, their friends, and the society in which they move by profanity or drunkenness. -CORRESPON- Presbytery of Huron. The Presbytery met in Knox church. Goderich, on Tuesday last. Dr. The was appointed moderator for the -ensuing six months. Elder's commissions were received and the roll for the year made up. Commissioners to the Assembly gave a report of their attendance at the Supreme Court of the Church. The committees on Finance and the Super- intendents ef Students gave reports re- spectively. •The Presbytery took up the subject of Arrears of• Stipends within the Bounds, with a view of having all such arrears removed. The Assembly "Injunction " as to the ecclesiastical and calendar years, was dealt with, and steps taken to secure the object aimed at. Mr. John Young, M. A., was licensed to preach the Gospel in the usual way. Mr. Denby resigned his pastoral charge of the congregations of Bayfield Road and Berne. The resignation is to be disposed of at a special meeting of the Presbytery, to be held in Union church, Brucefield, on the 27th inst, at 11 a. ne On behalf of the committee appointed to draft a deliverance on Sabbath Ob- servance, Mr. McCoy submitted the fol- lowing : Whereas, a strong tendency is manifested in certain quarters to hold funerals and other processions for dis- play on the Lord's Day; and, whereas, many are interrupted in their public and private devotions by such processions, and the quietness of the Sacred Day is thus broken up and an element sadly out of harmony with the discipline of Christian training introduced into the experiences of the Day wherein these processions are held, be it Resolved. that this Presbytery take this opportunity of expressing its disapproval of the practice of holding funerals on the Sabbath except in cases of necessity, moreover, ..that ministers within the bounds be recommended to discountenance by all due means such processions and gatherings as are fitted to break down the reverence fer the sacred day which is claimed for it by the Holy Scripture." The foregoing was unanimously adopted. Mr. McLean reported that in accord- ance with the request of the convener of the Assembly's Home Mission Commit- tee,he forwarded to`Rev. Mr. Thompson, of Vancouver, British Columbia,, his dis- junction from this Presbytery that he might be prepared to unite with the new Presbytery to be formed OD the Pacific coast. Mr. McLean's conduct was ap- proved of. Mr. McDonald stated that he had a letter from Mr. Thomson and that he desired that the brethren in this Presbytery should remember him and his congregation at Vancouver in the lose which they sustained by the recent fire there. The following are the standing com- mittees for the year :-Home Missioli- Mr. Musgrave, (Convener,) Messrs. Mc- Donald, Simpson, M. Y. McLean, flab - kirk, D. Ben. State of Religion - Messrs.

Rev. Mr. Livingston will supply his pulpit until his return. -The St. Marys Argus says: One day last week a party of picknickers rusticating in the vicinity of Knight's dam were somewhat surprised to see a man attired in the neat and well fitting garb of nature, draw himself out of the water, and allow himself to bask in the sunlight on the littleTisland by the dam. The picknickers were in doubts at first as to whether the figure was that of a mermaid or of old Neptune himself. Closer scrutiny revealed the form of a well-known West Warder, whose sense of decency and regard of law did not prevent him enjoying, publicly, the de- licious coolness of a mid-day. bath. -On the morning of the 1st July, Mr. Wm. Sterritt, near Motherwell, set fire to some rubbish near his barn and stable. Just before going to dinner he poured water on the ground around the fire -which was then smouldering -as a precaution against its spreading, but in a short time it was discovered that the stable was on fire, and before two o'clock the stable and the barn which had just been remodelled and placed on a stone wall were burned to the ground. Besides the buildings, some grain, sever- al implements, and two sets of harness were consumed. The buildings and con- tents were insured. e --A correspondent says there may be seen in Mrs. J. B. Sparling's flower garden at Kirkton, a curiosity in the shape of an orange lily -or rather a bunch of lilies -growing from one root. From the middle of the root springs a peculiar stalk about 2i- inches wide and one-quarter of an inch thick; this stalk is surmounted with a crown of 45 perfect flowers. From the root, and en- closinesthe' middle stalk, spring twelve ordinary stalks containing in, all some- thing over 200 beautiful flowers. In the same garden may be seen another curios- ity in the shape of a rose bush, bearing on the same stalk pink roses and white ones and some that are pink and white. This is simply a freak of nature, as -here- tofore the bush has bo e only one -color- ed roses, and has not ecu grafted or budded. -Two parties from Hibbert, says the Mitchell Recorder,' were brought before the Police Magis rate on Monday, charged with endeavo ing to procure liquor during restrict d hours. One of them asked for liqu r at the Staffa hotel on Saturday night i.fter hours and the other one on Sunda . They admit- ted the charge and wer fined with etsts. During the investigat on one of the parties admitted that he had got the worse of liquor at the Red Tavern in Tuckersraith, county f Huron, now under the Scott Act, and on reaching Staffs, after hours demanded more. The other said he got his liquor in a bottle at Dublin and had got a little " off " by the time he -reached Staffa. It would be well to remember that to ask for liquor during prohibited hours is a crime punishable whether the stuff is obtained or not. -Mr. Alex. Weir, of Bosanquet, has just died at the age of _84 years and 4 months. He was a native of Aberdeen- shire, Scotland, and came to this coun- try in the year 1824 in a sailing vessel, being six weeks on the voyage.
