This gives Mr. Mc- Dowell a magnificent farm of L30 acres,. while Mr. Scott still has 150 acted left. • To CORRESPONDENTS.—We have on hand several interesting letters on a variety of subjects which we are obliged to` hold over until future issues.

Wei may B. that we like the FEAST period much bete r than the FAMINE one. FOR YOUNG MEN.—A very enjoyable evening was spent in the Young Men's Christian Association rooms last Wednes- day. After singing a few hymns and a ehort address, Parlor Games were brought forward and a really good time fcillovved as were sufficiently proved by the hearty laughter heard on all indite. These meetings are held every Wednesday evening, begin- ning at 7.30, and are being highly appreciat- ed. A cordial invitetion le extended to an young men. Sunday morning Bible class at 9.30, open to alli NEWSPAPER CHANGE. —Mr. W. T. White- ly, who bas been editor of the Clinton News Record since its thltablishment, 13 years age, has retired from that paper. Mr. Whitely's retirement is rendered necessary by his aceeptance of the office of Collector of Customs at Clinton, a position which, we trust, he will long live to enjoy. Mr. Todd, Mr. Whitely's former partner, now assumes the proprietorship and entire matagement of the News Recerd. He is a thoroughly practical newspaper man a good wtiter and a worthy citizen, and wethave no doubt but the News Record will continue te prospee under his guiding hand. THE CRAWFoRD CUP.—Staffa Was the firat club in the county to take bp the challenge for the Crawford Cup held by the Junior Hurons. Despite the inelement weether, pleaaant game was played on Thanksgiving Day, on the Recreation Grounds, The boys from town were not equal in size to the Staffa men, but in pass- ing skill, were very conspicuous ; while their rivals, though showing some individual talent, were particularly weak in combin- ation. The young Hurons, in consequence, bed not much difficulty in scoring their seven points ; while Staffa failed to break through the Sealorth defence. Oughton and H. Morrison were most prominent in capturing goals, ,having each three to his credit. Hutchinson and Thompson were, perhaps, the best' for Staffa ; but the eleven will improve by 'team practice, and it is to be hoped they will get the ball rolling again next season. J. W. Livingstobe was the referee. OPINIONS WORTHY OF NOTE. —The Strat- ford Beacon has the following " Mr. D. Buchanarteof-the Canadian Live Stock and Farm Journal, Toronto, has been spending a few days amonget the leading farm.ers and atock Men of the Stratford district. He ex- presses himself as highly pleased wilh the quality and style which characterize the various herds visited. Mr. Buchanan said : 'It gives me much satisfaction to note the improvements that are being macle on your public laighwaya, also, that your municipal councils have seen fit to prohibit men allow- ing any live stock to run at large. This will enable the farmers to do away with the greater part of the fencing now required, which not only detracts greatly front the beanty of the country, but acts also as a harbour for the various forms of weed life and requives a considerable annual odtlay to keep in a servicable con.clition. These are indications that the agriculturists of the dis- trict are advancing, and speaks well for their energy and intelligence.' " Mr. .Bu- chanan is a If uren boy, being a son of 'Mr. Wm. Buchanan, of Hay township, near Sentient PRESBYTERY OF HURO,N: — Th'e Presby- tery met in Exeter on the 8th inst. The Treasurer's book wah audited and certified as correctly kept. Messrs. Martin and Ilamilton were appointed to address the meeting of the \Vernon's Foreign Mission Society to be held in Goderich Jenuery next. A acheme for the exchange of pulpits for preaching naissionitry services wits ad- opted. Messrs. Simpsou and Andereon were added to the committee on re -arrange- ment of the congregations of Bayfield, Beth- any, Union Church Goderich Township, and Leeburn. It was agreed to delay granting a moderation in a call to the con- gregation of Bayfield and Bethany till the aforeteid committee will report. The Presbytery then passed the following resolu- tion reepecting the death of the late Rev. George Needham, B.A., on motion of Rev. Dr. McDonald duly secon.cled; " The Pres- bytery of Huron in session now assembled, would acknowledge the sovereignty of the Almighty God in removing from their midst their brother, Rev. George Nodham, B.A., pastor of the congregation of Egmondville church, who died on the 4th of November, 1892. The Lord gave and the Lord heth teken, away, bleesed be the hame of the Lord.' The life of our brother was short but full of promise of great usefulness. He brought to the work of the church gifts of a high order, which he had during the years of preparation assiduouely cultivated till the aphit of life departed. The members of Presbytery express their deep serrow in los- ing one a ho was so regniat in attendance at free in his friendehip. The Presbytery exa press its deep sympathy for Mrs, Needham in her very severe and sore affliction, and prays that the Godl of all comfort will sus- tain and comfort her with the abundant consolation of the gospel. It also sincerely sympathizes with his father, and all his relatives, and prays that though the hopes fondly cheriahed respecting the future of his son, and their friend, are so suddenly dashed to the ground, the Lord will give beauty for ashes and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. The Presbytery hereby expresses its deep sympathy with the sestion and congregation in the loss sustain- ed by the removal of their pastor, whom they loved and whose labors among them were so highly appreciated, and it is the earnest prayer of the Presbytery that the Master of Assembliea will abundantly bless the good seed sown by our departed broth- er, who though dead yet speaketh." THE LATE WILLIAM McKieney.---Wm. McKinley, of Stanley, second son of Mr. John McKinley, of Egmondville, died at his residence on Octeber 25th, at the age of 31 years. About three years ago he was taken with a severe pain over the left eye. He tried physician after physician but all to no avail. For months before, he passed away, he had almoet lost elle sight of the eye; He was converted under thalaboura of the Rev. James Livingstone, now of Listowel, about 13 years ago lend from that time until he crossed the rlver of death he lived an exem- plary life and died a triemphant death. The Sabbath before he was taken down he took pert in the service of the church, and was in his usual health with the exception of his eye, and no one entertained the thought that that was the last timenbrother McKialey's voice would be heard in the ser- vice of the sanctuary, but so it was, On the Tuesday he was seized with paralysis of the right side, and from that time be was unable to converse with any one, On the next Tuesday morning he passed away. He leaves a young widow to /mourn his sad lose, also parents and a large family of brothers and sisters who, we believe, are nearly all in the service of the Master. May they all meet the sainted on the Eden shore, is the prayer of the writer.—Com. JUST RECEIVED a fine line of party fans. Call and see them at W. R. COUNTER'S, The Leading Jeweler.

THE CANADIAN BuSINESS COLLEGE, — We take pleasure in ;calling the_ attention of our readers this week to the advertisement of the above popular Business and Shorthand school. The insti- tution is worthy of arid is receiving: a very superior class ef patronage. The attendanoe of day students is we believe larger than that of any other school of thie kind in the Domintim, and is drawn from all parts of Canada and thel United States. Even Eng- land, Scotland, Ireland 4nd the Danish- West Indies have sent representativee directly to it. It is not a school of a few years or e)f mush -room growth, but haS been doing a grand Work in the cause of practical (palmation for over 16 years,under the leadership of D. 'McLachlan, its foundbrevho has had over 20 years of experience in this particular line of work, and who is undoubtedly better known than any other man in Bueiness College work iti3he Dominion. As a ten - man, Mr. McLachlan is abknowledged to be the est in Canada, this positioe he has held for over 20 years, without a worthy rival dihputing the claim. Quite a number of his former pupils stand in the very front rank of America's best penmen and businese educa- tors. About 40 of his foriner pupils are now holding high positions in these capacities. The aini of the Col- lege from its inception wateto do high grade work,and this no doubt had much to do with the groat success which has attended its Igraduates, wherever they have been placed in the commercial world. There is hardly a state in the Union or a city in the Dominion where gradeates of this school are not to be found, and in nearly every instance are holding responsible positions at lucrative salaries. We heartily com- mend the sehool as one worthy of the best patronage. Those who are anxious to learn further particulars regarding the institution will, no doubt, be supplied with catalogues and any urther information, by addressing the Principal, le1r. D. McLachlan, Chat- hani, °uteri.). _ PASSED Awer.—Another of Huron's hen, ored pioneers, in theIPerson of Mr. Win. Lowrie, of Hullett, near Kinburn, has been gathered to his. fathere. Mr. Lowrie died very suddenly on Tuetclay evening , of last week. He had been iiuffering somewhat from heart failure since the 26th of Septem- ber last, but was newt; confined to bed, and although be suffered coesiderably he was al- ways able to be about the house. On the night of his death he been sitting beside the stove and was chatting pleasantly with his wife, and did not seem te be worse than usual. He had barely got into bed, how- ever, when, without any warning, he fell forward and without an apparent struggle the spirit took its ilighti Mr. Lowrie was a native of Berwickehire, Scotland. He;came to Canada about 48 years ago and setentd on the farm in Hullett, where he continued to reside until the time ef his death. The whole surrounding country was then little better than a donee forest, but Mr. Lowrie was epared to ice it converted into one ' of the most beautiful and fertile sections in Canada, and -Mr. Lowrie's farm is one of the best in the settlement. He was an exceed. ingly robust man in his day, and by dint of industry and frugality he succeeded in laye ing up sufficient to leave those depending upon him in independent circumstances. He was a quiet, unrissuming man, and was of a kind disposition, and was deservedly esteemed by all who knew him. He was honorable and straight -forward in all his dealings, and few men enjoyed More fully the confideace of his fellow -men, while his ever cheerful !disposition inade him a uni- versal favorite. In politics he was an en- thusiastic Liberal, and iri religion a consist- ent member of the Presbyterian denomina- tion. The remains were laid to rest on Thursday last, and, despite the unfavorable weather and bad roads, aivery large number paid their last tribute of respect to one who was well worthy of being temembered emong those who have honestly elone their share towards making the world better than they found it. His aged partner in -life, together I with two sons and four daughtera, still sur- vive him. Mr. Lowrie had reached the good age of 75 years. _ He was an elder brother of Mr. Charles Lowrie, of Seaforth. COUNCIL Doinos.—At the regular meeting of the town council, held on Monday even- iog last, accounts to the amoint of $379.25 were passed and ordered to be paid. The council agreed to co-operate with other coun- cils in taking steps towards disseminating in- formation among the ratepayers concerning a House of Refuge for this county.' A by- law was passed exempting the new foundry buildings, being erected by Dr.: Coleman, and the machinery to be conteined therein, from taxation for a period of ten years. Thie exemption was unaeked' for, and was given' voluntarily and unanimously by the council as a recognition of the enterprise of the Messrs. Coleman in establishing' this neat and important industry. The Electric Light Committee were instructed to make an estimate of the amount that would be saved by shutting off the commercial dynamo at nine o'clock instead of running it until eleven, as at present. Mr. Good also gave notice that at the next meeting of council he would introduce a by-law to make the above named change. Permissitm was granted Mr. John Beattie to erect a couple ofitelephone poles on John street, to accommodate the wire for his private tele- phone. The Mayor submitted the report of the committee appointed to investigate the charges against the waterworks engineer, together with the sworn evidence taken at the investigation. This evidence covered 47 pages of foolscap, closely written. A mo- tion was psssed to the effect that the report and evidence lie on the table for one week, that the members of the council may have an opportunity of becoming conversant with it, and that the Mayor call a special meeting of the council for hext Tuesday evening to take final action. The council then ad- journed. EGKONDVILLE NOTES. — Events have courted each other for some time. pest with such lightning speed that only a ready brain can keep proper heed of them. In this we recoguize a failure on our part and so aim at noting only the most prominent, On Friday evening last, the members of the Women's Foreign Mission Society and La- dies' Aid gathered at the residence of Mrs. Carnochan for the purpose of farewelling Mrs.Needham, a valued member in the past of both societies, and one whose loss will be alniost iereparable ; but those who are left must gather up the dropped mantle and en- couraged by its inspiration continue their ' useful course with renewed vigor. Mrs. Needham was surprised by the gathering of such numbers on'an evening so unpromising, but much more so, when after . devotional exercises, Miss A. Grace Gemmell stepped forward and read a neatly worded address, expreasive of deep sympathy for the recent bereayement, high appreciation for past ser- vices as a member of both societies, and the most kindlyi wishes for future happiness. Nor wes it a mere lip service, as is too,often the case, but as tangible proof of loving remembrance she was presented with a cer- tificate of life membership in the Women's Foreign Mission Society. In tones of deep feeling,thanks were returned for this further token of the love of a peopliewhose memory would be cherished by her as long as life en- dured.—The Rev. Alex. Russell is expected to occupy the pulpit of our church next Sabbath, and the one following. We hope, however, soon to be able to select a suitable successor to, our late pastor, as a vacancy of long duration is far from a, season of pros- perity for any church.—The snow has van- ished and left oceans of mud, but this does not prevent our village carriage maker, Mr. eThomas Hills, froin preparing a good supply ritf cutters and sleighs for the winter trade. -We hope he will be, as usual, successfal in Idisposing of them.—Much sympathy is ex- tended to, the three little orphans, children ve dif the late Mr. and Mrs. Barker, who are at present with their grandmother, Mrs. Mc - I Murray, of this village. It is a heavy re- , sponsibility for one so old, but few would assume it more kindly and perform the du- i . ties more faithfully. LOCAL BRIEES.—Mr. Robert Brock, of the Mill road, Tuckersmith, lias a yearling colt for which he was recently offered, and re- fused; $200, This shows that really good horses willLstill bring a good price.

He can purchase this clan of animals cheaper in Toronto than he can do here. This proves that this is a good feeding district where , the farmers prefer having all the profit themselves to dividing it with the Scotch fanners across the Atlan- tio.—Mr. James Sproat of this town who spent the summer in the vicinity of Virden, Manitoba, has returned home. Mr. Sproat went to the Prairie Province mainly for the benefit of his health and the change hail had the desired effect, as he bus become quite robust looking.—About $8,000 of the town taxes have thus far, been paid in to the town treasurer, Mr, Elliott. There are about $4,000 yet to be paid in.—Mrs, George Nott of Tuckersmith, the well-known prize win- ner, has this year collected over $250 in prize money awarded her at the different shows. When we consider that in the de- pattments in which she exhibited, the prizes are usually small, varying from about 25 cents to one dollar, Mrs. Nott's industry and skill will appear to still better advan- tage.—The ttreets and roads are very soft and muddy and will likely continue so until Jack frost seals them tip. — Mr. Elgin Myers, of Toronto; and Mr. D. McGilli- cudy,of Goderichovill eddress a Continental Union meeting at Liatowel on next Monday evening on the subject of Continental Union. it is said there are a goad many Continental Unionists i iletowel and vi- cinity.—Mr. Archibald t mit, of The flrm of Scott Brothers, of t town, and Mr. James G.

P., of Rapid City, Manitoba, aud Mrs. Me- --Naught are at present in town, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Henderson.

Racey, President cif thnKing's Daegh- tire society, London, will address the young people in St. Theme's' Church school roorn,on Thursday evening next, at eight o'clock.

Cash, of MoKillop, brother of Mr. Edward Cash, of this town, who passed away on Thursday morning. He was over 83 years of age. The funeral will take place to -day, Friday, at two o'clock. We also learn of the death of Mr. Hiram Blanshard, of Winthrop, sonin-law of Mr. Cash. Mr. Blanshard died Thursday morn- ing, just six hours after hie father-in-law. The sincerest sympathy of all will be ex- tended to the bereaved relatives in their double affliction. —Captain Newert, of Mit- chell, visited the Seaforth corps of the Sal- vation Army Wednesday evening. Mra. Major Philpott, of Toronto, was in Seaforth a few days ago visiting friends.—The Methodist church choir, of this town, in- tend holding a concert some time during the Christmas holidays, when the prinoipal attraction will be Mies Jessie Alexander, the celebrated elocutionist of Toronto.

NOTES, —the Christian Endeavor Society, in connection with the Presbyterian Church, is doing. nicely ; the Methodiet Epworth League still holding interesting and Profitable meetings.

A LITTLE MORE CIDER. —Messrs, Ashton and Grinney, managers of Bobier's cider mill, of this place are making things hum, and judging by die way apples are pouring in to the evaporator, it bids fair to be an all winter job. NElee TAILOR.—Mr. Joseph Morrow, of the post -office store, has secured the services ,of Mr. J. Batting, of St. Catharines, a first class tailor. This gentleman comes highly recommended, and Mr. Morrow's numerous patrons will have their 'Mite made up in the latest and moat fashioriable style. Also the ladies can depend on getting a first-class fit in Mantles, Ulsters, &c. MARRIAGE.—The residence of Mr. James Armstrong was the scene of a very pleasant event on Wednesday, the 9th inst., it being the marriage of his daughter • Addie, to Mr. Robert McCool, of Harriston, -formerly of this village.. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. F. G. Newton. Mr. W. John- ston performed the duties of best men, while the bride was assisted by Miss Saaah Noble, of Seaforth. About sixty invited guests witnessedithe tying of the nuptial knot. The presents were numerous and valuable, and exemplified the high esteem in which the bride was held in the com- munity. We wish them both long life and prosperity. They left on the evening train for their home, amid ehowers of rice. Beechwood. LOCALITIES.—The roada in this section are very bad at present.—There are a few •patches of roots to be housed yea—Mr. Patrick Riley old a very fine horse to Mr. John MoMann, of Seaforth, for a good price.

INTERESTING DEBATES.—The Patrons of of Industry, who hold their meetings at No. 4 school house, have had a series of very in- teresting debates on live subjects of immedi- ate importance to ,the people, and we are glad to learn that, in each instance, the de- cisions so far, have gone inithe right direc-. tion. The first subject discussed was the Poorhouse question. After an " animated diecussion decision was given in favor of the establishment of aPoor house in this county. Last Monday night the Statute Labor clues= tion was discussed, and the decision was given in favor of the abolition of this relic of a former 'age. Next Monday evening the following subject will be debated, viz,: " Resolved taat the scheduling of Canadian cattle by the Britiah Government will be iof general benefit to Canadian farmers." This is a subject which should bring out Many _useful, practical points. The attendance at each of the meetings has been very good,and the debates cannot fail to have a beneficial influence upon all, and especially upon those who take part in them. They should be en- couraged by all. • Zurich. SELLING Out.—Mr. E. Bossenberry will sell for Mr. E. J.

BIBLE Cretins WORR.—The bible class in connection with Carmel church was fairly well attended on Sabbath morning, Novem- ber 6th, and the lesson from Acta 12, 1-14, was a very interesting and profitable one. A number of excellent points were brought out and forcibly applied by the teacher,Rev.J. S. Hendersom From the lesson we glean the following points, some of which were dwelt upon at greater length in the public services . for the day. First—God isnot enly interest- ed His church as a church, but He is 'also deeply interested in each individual member of that church, and often interposes for their safety. Second—God often leaves His people in trouble and difficulty until all hope is gone and their ease seems desperate, and theta delivers them. Man's extremity is Goa's opportunity." Third—God does His work in a calm and deliberate manner ; with Him there is no nervous haste, no im- patience or anxiety. God has an eternity to do Hie work in, while the present only is ours. Fourth—God laughe at the idle pre- cautions which wicked men make and take to keep His people in prison and bondage. To God iron chains are no stronger than cobwebs, and riveted links than straw ; and whether His people be bound by the iron fetters of cruel men or by the equally strong fettera of sinful habits and wicked associa- tions, God can and will break the galling bands if we, in our extremity, call upon Him. Fifth and last—God always anawera true prayer. We 'often do not seem to get what we pray for because we do not wait with expectancy for an answer, and aloe be. cause we often do not ask what is for our present and future godd. Gad always gives His people what they ask, if it is for His glory and their own highest good.
