which was listened to with interest, and it
is hoped, with profits—By the way, is the
note of warning sounded often enough
from our pulpits on the ethical and
practical side of Christianity, and our
boys, especially, shown the terrible results
of the many abuses into which they are so
liable to run. Close obeervers tell us that
girls are generally becoming taller and I
better developed physically, than their
mothers, while boys are, as a rule, shorter
than their fathers. So !irked h3 this, that
in some occupations, wh re a high standard

Demme OF MRS. HANOVER.--Many per-
sons Seaforth and vicinity will regret to
learn Of the death of Mrs. (Dr.) Hanover,
formerly of this town which sad event oc-
curred, at, Delavan, Wisconsin, on Septem-
ber 19th. The Enterprise of that place
gives` the following particulars of the melan-
choly affair : The commenity was greatly
shocked on Tuesday to learn that Mrs. (Dr.)
Hanover had died at an early hour that
morning. The immediate ause of her death
was a shock received by eeing the marble
slab fall on her youngest daughter Eileen.
During the exeited stage of the shock she
made an unsuccessful effo t to remove the
slab from off the child, an in doing so rup-
tured a valve of the hear Mrs. Hanover

1857, being the eldest of a family of fourteen

riage ith Dr. William Hanover, at her
native place, and together they moved to
Super or, this state, in the fall of 1890, com-
ing to Delavan in 1897. Besides the be-
reave husband she leaves a family of seven

FOR TIIE CRAwFORD CUP.—A football
matchlfor theCrawford cup, was played on
the reereation grounds on Saturday after-
noon last, when the old time rivals, the
Shamthchs, of .Kippen, and the Stars, of
Dublin, faced each other. Last spring the
Kiel* boys wrested the trophy from the
Dublin team, and on Saturday they tried to
regain their lost laurels, but were unsuc-
cessful losing by two goals to one. On the
start 'peen rushed matters, but left their
goal a little too open and Dublin soored,
but ju t, before half time Kippen tallied.
There vas no more scoring until just before
time w called, when the Shamrocks score&
a secon goal and this clinched their vic-
tory. Ehe Shamrocks, if anything, played
the bet er combination, but this was coun
terbala ced by the extra weight of their
oppone ts, and their superior skill in shoot-
eng on goal. The game was hotly contested
throughout, and it was any person's game
until t me was called. The Kippen boys
will no likely be allowed -to hold the cup
until n xt season.

ANN L'AL MEETING,—The fifteenth an-
nual meeting of the Seaforth Women's
Christian Temperance Union was held in
the rooms of the society on September 20th,
with a good attendance of members and
visitors. After devotional exercises, con-
ducted by Mrs. Russell, the president, the
reporta of officers and superintendents of
departments were received. On the whole,
these weee encouraging, mostof them indi-
cating good work done during the past year
and in some directions decided progress.
The superintendent of scientific temperance
instruction reported the cordial co-operation
of the public school teachers in giving the
allotted time, each week, to teaching this
important subject. Owing to lack ot funds,
Seaforth Union was unable to do as much as
usual for the men in the lumber camps.
However, the superintendent of that depart-
ment reportedshaving sent 50 pounds of lit-
erature and five dollars towards the salary of
the provincial Womens' Christian Temper-
ance Union missionary. The superinten-
dent of Sabbath observance reported the
distribution of circulars and oollection of
funds in aid of the Lord's Day Alliance,
also one meeting during " Week of
Prayer" devoted to this subject. The sup-
erintendent of relief reported the number of
needy families visited and assisted, during
the past winter, and amounts expended in
their behalf. Very little motley is given,
members Of the relief committee ordering
the needed supplies or paying rent as occa-
sion requires. The report of the superin-
tendent of literature showed that 3,500
tfaots and leaflets hart -been distributed in
Seaforth, Egrnondville and Harpurhey.
The treasurer reported receipts from all
sources, $121.11 and disbursements, $121.-
05 ; the balance, though scarcely visible,
being on the right side. We may add that
a large proportion Of this expenditure was
for the sick and helpless poor in the town,
:who, but for this assistance, would probably
have suffered for lack of the necessaries of
life. The election of officers for the coming
year, resulted as follows : President, Mrs.
J. A. Stewart ; lst vice-president, Mrs.
(Rev.) Russell; 2nd vice-president, Mrs.
T. 0. Kemp ; 3rd vice-president, Mrs.
Kirkman ; corresponding secretary, Mre.

Father McCabe, as towards our pastors in
the past, there has always existed among
our people a feeling of loyalty and good
will, and that in our town, among the peo.
ple of all denominations and ourselves, peace
and unity prevail. In response to the re-
quest of your Lordship, upon coming to the
diocese, heartfelt were our prayers that
God's blessing be upon your work, and we
fervently hope that you shall long be spared
to carry on God's holy work in the high
sphere to which you have been called. To
ypur Lordship's visits We shall always look
forward with happiness, and, in conclusion,
we respectfully ask for our parish and for
ourselvea and families, the Episcopal bless-
ing." The address was signed on behalf of
ehe congregation by Messrs. John Killoran,
Thomas J.- McQuaid, Edward Devereaux,
Wm. Fortune, John Devereaux, Donald Mc-
