Mc- Laughlin was born in the township of Clark, county of Durham, ; in 1851, and was marriegto Mr. T. II. MeeLeughliri in 1871. Having lived six years in the township of Darlington, iri7 the county of Durham, they moved to Oshawa, where they resided for six years, corning to Gorrie fourteen yeare ago. The deceased was a consistent mem- ber of the Presbyterian church, a Sabbath schoolteacher and a zealous worker in the Women's [Foreign Missionary Society, hav- ing been president for many years. Her etheerfal disposition, her affable manner and her readinere to help and sympathise with those in trouble, made her popular with all classes. Of her ib may truly be said, "She hath done what she could, and the influ- ence of her example will be felt in the dis- tant future. She bore her sickness with Chrietian fortitude, and was never known to complain. She leaves a husband ani six children, three beys and three girls, her aged mother, a sister and two brothers to mourn her loss. The deepest sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon. • Presbytery of Huron. The Presbytery Met in Clinton, on the 9th inst. The treasurer's book was audited and certified as correctly reported. Messrs. Acheson and D. D. Wilson were appointed to address the annual meeting of the -Wo- men's Foreign, Mission Society in January next. The Assembly's "Remit on Esti- mates" was disapproved of. The resolution passed at last meeting respecting missionary meeting being reconsidered, it was agreed, on motion of Mr. Martin, duly seconded, that congregations be enjoined to hold such meetingsniech session to make arrangements for its own meeting, and to report at the Jaimary meeting. The propriety of cele- brating the 250th anniversary of the West- minster Confession of Faith, etc., was con- sidered, and the following deliverance agreed to, on motion of Mr. D. D. Wilson, duly seconded: "That this Presbytery re- quests each of the ministers within the bounds to preach a sermon to their congre- gations on the auniversary of the Westmins- ter standards, upon a Sabbath to be here after appointed, and that later a public meeting of Presbytery be held to celebrate the 250th anniversary of said standard, and that the committee be re -appointed, with the addition of Mr. Stewart, to make all necessary arrangements and to report at next meeting. The Home Mission commit- tee, with the addition of Messrs. Fletcher and Martin, was appointed to talee, intce consideration the whole subject of grants to • THE HURON EX,PdgIri'O'R. the augmented charges, and to visit by deputation such charges if thought neces- sary, and to report at next meeting.' The clerk read a letter from Rev. Mr. Burns respecting the Aged Minister's Funtlesalling the attention of the Presbytery to the nem. sity of increase in the contributions to this fund. After remarks by the clerk the fund was commended to the confidence and liberality of -the cengregations, and it is to be hoped that the sum asked for, viz: 9e cents per member, will be contributedfor the present year. The Foreign Mission committee was instructed to secure the ser- vices of 'Rev. D. McGillivray, missionary. of Honan, to addrear congregations desiring much services. The Moderator and clerk were instructed to sign a petition for the further limitation of the liquor traffic. The next meeting of Presbytery is to be held in Knox church, Goderich, on the 18th of 'January, at 11 a. m. • What Cured Him. "You see I haven't a particle of rheuma- Mame! said the man with a florid face and a. voice that was intended by nature for a campaign purpoee. "1 feel like a two-year-old. Never have an ache or pain. 'Don't care a particle for east winds:rains Or ()lunges in the temper- ature. Eat three meals a day, and sleep like a top. A year ago 1 went around smel- ling like a bottle of hone liniment. One time I'd beem crutches. Then I'd have an arm all dralien out of she e or a shoulder thee was n4 earthly use. Fhe kat spell I had was w th my 'back, and I was about readytot row up the sponge. "What 1H I do for it ? Everything un- der the su . I had horse chestnutin every pocket. 11 carried potatoes till they petri- fied. 1 ate lemons till I was as sour as I looked. I took more kinds of medicine than you could find in any one drug store. I WM in a boiled state for six months from hot baths. I was massaged into a pulp. travelled three hundred miles to have the disease charmed away, and had it worse coming back than I had going. One day I meta little old man who must have been a hundred. He was as spry as a kitten, yet assured me that from the time he was from fifty to seventy there was nothing of him but rheumatism. Even his hair ached. He advised me to steal a dish cloth and rub myself thoroughly with it every morning. There was no virtue in the treatment unlees I stole the rag. "1 would have robbed a bank to get relief. One afternoon I slipped through the back door of a house into the kitchen, grabbed a dish rag and started teelimp away. A 200. pound hired girl let out a Tippeeary screech, and took after me with a mop stick. By the time she had clouted me once or twice 1 Was running like a professional, and at the end of half a block I was out of the reach of her weapon. I've never had a twinge since. I don't know . whether the hired girl, the pounding, the running or the dish rag cured me. I'm rather disposed to think that the rheumetism got scared out of me." SPARED A TERRIBLE FATE. By the Timely use of Dodd's Kidney Pills - The great Life Savers of the 19th Cen- tary;-Bright's Disease Robbed of its Terrors. OTTAWA, November 15th. -Local medical men, in common with their brethren in all parts of the country have always maintain- ed that Bright's disease is incurable, and that all that can be done for the victims of that disease is to ease their journey to the grave. There are thousands of Canadians, however, who know that this opinion is wrong. Among them is W. Young, trav- eller, of this city, who says he was cured of Bright's disease, by Dodd's Kidney Pills. "1 am completely cured," be says, "and no other medicine but Dodd's Kidney Pills did me any good." These pills are the only sure cure for Bright's disease. • How the Cod and Halibut are Taken by the Small Vessels. Gustav Kobbe writes an article entitled "On the Grand Banks and Elsewhere," for St-. Nicholas. Mr. Kobbe says: The trawlers are generally found on the Grand banks,the hand liners on the western bank and Quiro. These hand lines are smaller vessels with fewer dories, and the men eshewith hand lines, one man and two lines to a dory. The hand liner sits in the middle of his dory, with a compartment in its stern and another in its bow for his catch. When you see the bow sticking far up in the air:you know a fisherman has his stern load. Then, as fish after fish flashes into the other compartment,the bow settles, and when the dory is on an even keel the hand liter pulls back to the vessel. The trawlers bait with fresh herring, mackerel and squid, the hand liners with salt clams. The catch of both is split and salted, and the veesel has a full "fare," or catch, when she has "wet her salt" -that is:used up all her salt -and is full of fish. Atrawler's voyage lasts about eight weeks, a hand liner's eleven. A trawler's crew receives no wages, but fishes on shares. First the captain gets a percentage; of the remainder, one half goei to the vessel, which "finds "-that is, sup plies the gear, stores, salt and half the bait -and the other half to the captain and crew in equal shares, which run from $110 to $150 and even to $250. But among the hand liners each man is paid according to what he catches the fare " from each dory being weighed as it is taken aboard. This stimulates compe- tition. There is judgment in knowing where to fish or how long to stay over a certain spot, and even the quickness with, which a line is hauled in will make a per- ceptible difference at the end of a day's fishing. It means 'something to be "high line," as thercall the best fisherman, at the end of a voyage, and those who win this distinction time and agein, as some do, be- come known as "killers" and "big fisher - , men.” iThe main catch on tbe banks is cod and I halibut. 'There is also a fleet of small American vessels which pursues the merry swordfish. Sworclfishing is good sport - whaling on a small scale. A man, dart in hand, stands in the vessel's bow, supported by a semi -circular iron brace. When near enough to the fish, he lens fly the dart. A avioodfish may weigh 350 pounds. One can tow a dory a mile, and a piece of the sword has been found driven through the bottom of a pilot boat. • Frogs. - There is a young woman named Miss Mona Selden in the town of Friendship, New Jersey, who abandoned school teaching aboat seven years ago in order to engage in some occupation more conducive to her health. She concluded to raise frogs for the New York and Philadelphia markets, and for this purpose bought, at $2 per acre, twenty acres of marsh land in the vicinity of Friendship. This tract she fenced in, and has diligently prosecuted the business of breeding buying and selling frogs, until it yields her an income of 16,000 per year. We extract from an exchange the following particulars in regard to this enterprising wonian and her surroundings: "‘Since Miss Selden turned her attention to buying frogs, she has spent less time hunting, but occasionally she goes out for a day in the hog and comes home with a full bag. The twenty acres that she bought she holds as a reserve, and ten acres of it she has turned into a breeding place for frogs. "She calculates that every spring there are about 20,000 frogs in the breeding ground. She feeds them and they are fur- nished•with clear water from a continuously flowing stream. Under the treatment that the woman gives them the frogs thrive and grow to enormous eiroportions. The largest HI rrt..P11,1 JINGIA SKIN DICEASIG MUST= SY ONO AP- PLICATION OF Dr. Agnew's -Ointment, 35 CENTS.

The medium- sized are taken for the market, because they are the tenderest, juciest and sweetest, and they c impend ,a higher price than the larger 1 "In gs. er home Miss Seldon has a large aquarinkn in which she keeps fish and frogs. They are her only pets, and they seem to have an affection for her. The fish eat from her band, allow her to take them oub of the water and undergo the die omfort of being in the open air without m king any objec- tion, The frogs are on m r familiar terms with her than are the fish, and they have their ho.Ars when they are given the freedom of the bnuse. One big green fellow named Dick, is four years old, and when Mies Belden is writing he sits on the table near her and amuses himself with boxing scraps of paper around or chasing flies. Dick has been trained to do a good many intereering tricks.- He will hop over a stick held by his mistress several inches from the floor, wears a smell paper cap with all the dignity of a grenadier, and when his mistress places a cushion on the floor and sets him on a shelf he promptly springs into the air, turns a somersault, and, lauds ou his feet with the accuracy of a trained acrobat. "There is another trained frog besides Dick, and when they are together Miss Selden frequently plays the piano. The music sets the frogs to going and _they will hop around the floor, slowly or rapidly, keeping time to the music as nearly es a frog's mind an measure it. • A Lady iii His Cabin. A cerrospondent ends us the following amusing story, as reciently enacted upon an Atlantic liner: "A Ay Canadian major, after spending the first evening with his friends in the saloon, suddenly returned to them after saying 'Good -night,' and request- ed an interview with the purser. He was very white. " There is a lady,' he said, 'in my cabin -No. 42.' 'Rubbish ! ' exclaimed the purser. 'Here's the list ; your companion is Capt. " Higginson,' Nothing will induce me to go into the cabin again,' said the major. ",' Well, ru go,' rejoined the other. He returned with great celerity, and with a face as white as major's.. 'Upon my life, you are right. We'll put you somewhere else for the night, and see about it in the morning.' With the earliest dawn they sought the stewart and demanded an explanation. " ' Its all a mistake, gentlemen,' he said. 'Its Captain Higginson all right ; here's his luggage.' We must have this explained,' said the purser. 'This portnumteau is unlock- ed ; let us see what is in it.' "It contained a lady's wearing apparel. " 'By Jingo !" cried the stewaid, that's what comes of taking names as don't belong to us. She said she was Captain Higginson; but didn't say as it was only in the Salva- tion Army !" • • - Advice for the Thin Girl. Girls with slender proportions are usually picked out by their more heavily weighted friends as persona to whom lots of advice about increasing their avoirdupois must be given. Probably a little information on this subjecb will be valuable. The candi- date for added flesh should get all the sleep possible -from nine to ten hours. In addi- tion, a, nap in the middle of the day will help. While napping no stays, tight shoes or bands must be worn. ' If one cannot sleep one should lie down' in a darkened room at least thirty minaees instead,. In the mornings a cold plunge; or at least a cold sponge, must be taken, dashing the water on the shoulders, neck and collarbone, drying with a Turkish towel, and avoiding heavy clothing. A thin woman should avoid cumbersome wraps, - heavy -weight dress goods and linings. She should not tire herself bicycling, and she should have plenty of fresh air. Diet deserves a consid- eration. For some, drinking malt liquors is a great help, but many cannot stand it. A diet with an eye to acquiring flesh should consist of liquids -milk, water, but not coffee and tea ; no hot breads, plenty of but- ter aid cheese and good, cocoa. The very thin woman should have five, meals a day, should eat marmalade and drink plenty of warm milk and cream. Indeed, if warm milk is drunk before retiring it is in itself almost a sure eure for thinness. Above all, eat slowly and never exercise until a half hour after meals. e / • Things Worth Knowing. The latest innovation at a fashionable wedding was for the bridesmaids to precede the bride to the altar. An expert duster should do her work in so deft and dainty a manner .that no whirl- winds of floating particles aro drifted from one portion of the room only to lodge upon arother. A medical authority asserts' that the high standard of health in the great city of Lon- don is largely kept up by the eating of watercress, whi eh is sold- in vast quantities all over the city every morning. New leather is apt to " draw " the feet at first, and it is better to wear Cie boots in- doors for a, time,and near a fire occasionally, for the heat expands the leather or kid,and helps it to adapt itself to the foot. Milk or cream may be kept sweet in the warmest weather by adding a teaspoonful of borax to a quart of milk or cream. Ie will be found a most effectual preservative. ' • In the West Indies a lemon bath is al- most a daily luxury. Three or four limes or lemons are sliced into the water, and allow- ed to remain for half an hour, in order that the juice may be extracted. :A remark- able sense of freshness and cleanliness is givenoneeaki nh.al f yards of Scotch tweed can be made into the most servic,eable urthandtil school dress that a girl ever had. This ma terial is warm and soft, yet coarse enough not to catch the dust It is at the same nest and tasteful, anj for all purposes other than evening or call' g, it is the ideal ma- terial of the season. It comes in all col- ors and in all the new designs. Many tall persons complain that the bed- ding will work itself free at the foot of a bed, no matter ,how carefully it may have been tucked in. Such people should try laying s small fold in the .upper sheet at the bottom of the bed when patting on the eovers. Thie will prevent the feet from having a drawn or ckse feeling, and obviate the desire to lift the clothing with the feet and pull them up from the bottoms Stockings very often wear holes et the heel, while they are perfectly good else - whole, and this is more especially the case when walking shoes are worn, for however well they may fit they are liable to move up and down as one walks, and so- rub the heel of the stoeking. This can be prevented by sewing a piece of velvet or cloth inside the shoe jest at the top, so that the hard leather is kept from coming in contact with the stocking -heel. Respect for One's Powers. We should always be learners, gladly Welcoming every help and respecting every personality. Bet should always respect our own, and bear in mind that, though the wide universe is full ot s good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to us but through our toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given us to till. To undervalue our own thought because it is ours to de- preciate our own power's or faculties:because some one else's are more vigorous, to shrink from, doing what we can because' we can do SO little, is to hinder our own development and the progress of the world. For it is only by exercise that any faculty is strength- ened, and only by each one putting his shoulder to the wheel that the world moves and humanity advances. White Mayes of Old England. Eight hundred years ago all of the large cities of England had regular slave markets - for the sale of white slaves from all parts of the kingdom. In the "Life of Bishop Wulfstand," the writer says: "It was a moving sight to see in the public markets .rows of young people of both sexes tied to- gether and mold like cattle-menommindful of their obligations, delivering Wg, slavery their relatives and even their own children.' In another part of this_ work it is noted that these slaves were " particularly young wo- men, of fine proportions and off. great beanty." • News Notes. -The Whiteway Ministry has been de- feated in the legislative elections in New- foundland. • -The prospects for a large yield of wheat-. in Argentina are said to be fine. -Maximo Gomez, Commander -in -Chief of the Cuban Army of Liberation, declares against accepting any compromise from the Spanish Government. Independence alone will satisfy the insurgents. -A deputation of native Hawaiians will visit Washington shortly to protest against annexation to the United States. -A cattle dealer of London, England, quarrelled with the boot -black of a hotel in East Buffalo, on Saturday, and the boot- black shot him dead. -One hundred and forty millions was paid in pensions by the United Statos Gov- ernment last year. -A number of Philadelphia city and United States Government officials of prom - ince have been arrested, charged, with con- spiracy, and the issue of fraudulent natural- ixation papers. -The Rev. George A. Reader, a student in the Boston University Theological school, has been requested to withdraw from that institutiodby the faculty for per- forming the marriage of A. St. Andrassy and Miss Charlotte Wiberg, which took place in a lion's cage at the zoo in .Boston, the other day. -Constable McCarthy arrested at the Stratford station, ashort time ago, a couple of alleged green goods men from Listowel. The names of the prisoners are Hemphill and Mitchell, the former being a resident of Lisowel, but the latter of Cleveland,who had been in Listowel during the past week.They are- alleged. to have played their game on one Archie Beaton, a cripple:giving him a box supposed to contain $500 in green goods for the mild sum of $100 in hard cash. As usual, tbe box turned out to be empty. They were .arrainged before Magietrate O'Loane and pleaded Inot gailte . The case was ad- journed. -A new biography of the Queen, written by Mr. Richard R. Holmes, F. S. A., the Queen's librarian, at Windsor, appeared on Friday of last week, and is attracting much ettention. It was prepared under the en: - mediate supervision of her Majesty,abounds i family incidents, shows the Queen has ever entirely abandoned the relaxations of her earlier years, and points out that within the past fifteen years she>, has sung with Testi, and has taken drawing lessons from Leitch. The biography gives among other matter an extract from her Majesty's jour- nal in 1855, describing her pilgrimage to the Iuvalides during her State nsit to Paris. It reeds : "1 stood, at the arm of Napoleon III., his nephew, before the coffin of Eng- land's bitterest foe, I, the granddaughter of that King who hated him most and who most vigorously opposed him, and this very nephew who bears his name being my near- est and deart at ally, the organ a the church playing God Save the Queen' at the time. Strange and wonderful indeed. It seems as if in this tribute of respect to a departed dead foe old enmities and rivalries were wiped out, and the seal of heaven placed upon that bond of unity which is now hap- pily established between the two great and powerful nations. May Heaven bless and prosper it." - On Tuesday night of last week, as Postmaster Neal and wife of Walton were returning from Wm. Meda.vin's, MoKillop, the iron connecting one side of the shafts to the buggy broke, and the horse swinging round caused the rig to upset into the ditch. Mr. Neal had one of his legs injured, and Mrs. Neal had the misfortune to have her right elbow dislocated, besides other minor bruises. -The other evening a. noise was heard in the cellar of Mrs. Fisher's residence,Clintop, and on her daughter going down to see the cause of it, much to.her surprise she en- countered a tramp, who was in the front part and was trying to open a door leading to the rear. He told her that he was look- ing tor a place to sleep, and she ordered him off the premises. He did not seem disposed to obey at first, but on being told that he would be ejected if he did not get, he "got." Entrance had been effected through the cellar window. -The late Mr. Biddlecombe, of Clinton, bequeathed a handsome brass -cased clock' to the public library in that town, and it now ornaments the walls of the library. - Mr. F.
