terviewing Me. A. P. McLaren, M; P.,
with regard to the 'projected railway' from
St Joseph, on Lake Huron, to Hones; and
on through Hibbert, Foliate*, Downie and
Stratford. The right of Way has been
bought as for as Hensall, and work in that

FROM DEVIL'S LAHE.—Mr. Wm Sparks,
old Stanley boy, who has been or some
time located at Devil's Lake. North Dakota,
writes tons on November 25th, as ollows :
"We are all busy here getting re • y for to-
morrow, which- is Thanksgiving D y in Our

rn Railway Company here at Dev l's Lake,
nd have been for the past three • ears. I
"old my farm the other day, 320 creo for
$8,500. It is located near here, and the
lprioe is about as good as I would i et for a
farm of the same dimensions in ot Huron.
But the prices of good, improved f m prop-

manager the Seaforth agency has had. He
came here 'ten years ego, when the agency
was first opened, and by hie genial mannner,
close attention to Wetness and the general
Confidende he 'inspired in the public mind,
succeeded in building up a very large and
continually growing business. He was pop-
ular with the customers of the bank, was
liked as an individual and was a most valu-
able citizen, as he atitively identified him-
eelf with every movement ealoulated to ad-
vance the interests of the town. Hie re-
moval will be deeply regretted by our eiti-
ens and his place will, not be 'cosily filled.
But himself and Mrs. Pearce will leave be-
hind them here a large oirole of friends who
will always retain a deep interest in their
welfare and who will tejoice to learn of their
prosperity. We de not know who Mr.
Pearce's succeseor will be, as the announce-
ment has not yet been made.
ANNIVERSARY SERVIOES.—The anniver-
sary services in connection with the Sea -
forth Presbyterian churob were held on Sun-
day last and were conducted by Rev. W. 4)
Clark, of London. The weather was delight
ful, the roads good, and everything Was as
favorable as could be desired. Rev., Mr.
Clark is no strangee to the people of Sea -
forth and vicinity, and _while here he had
the pleasure of a kindly greeting from many
old friends and admirers, although, as he
stated himself, may changes were notice-
able in the people during the past sixteen
years, as it is thee time since he preached
hie first sermon in the Seaforth church. But
It was evident from the congregatione which.
greeted him on Sunday that he still retains
a wsrm place in the affections of the people
of this town and. vicinity. The church was
filled in the forenoon, and -in the evening
it) was absolutely packed, there being pres-
ent probably the largest number ever as;
gambled in tbe church, and the congregation
was oomposed of people of all denominations
and many congregations, a goodly number
having come from the oountry. And we are
sure that none were disappointed, for as an
earnest, plain, practical gospel expounder,
Mr. Clark has grown as years have passed
and experiences multiplied,. while he has
lot none of that magnetism which enables
him to attract the multitudee.—On the fol-
• lowing Monday evening the annual tea inset;
ing was held. The weather was not so
favorable as on Sunday, a blinding 81304
storm prevailing at the time for people turn-
ing out to come to the tea meeting, and as a
'consequence the ladies, who had made snob
• elaborate preparations, were • fearful that
there would not be enough present to con -
sumo the abundance of good things they had
prepared. Their' leers'however, proved
grouodlese, as despite the rough weather,
the tables were crowded for the allotted
time, the attendance being larger than for
many years. On this.tierlalliell the ladies had
made a speeialty of chicken pie, andthis
luxury was in abundance and of the very
best,• and, was liberally supplemented by
other substantiele and delicacies such is are
found at a tea meeting. • This pit
of tbe entertainment was a inocese, as usual,
and' seemed to be duly appreciated by the
people doming in out of the storm. The
social element was not fdrgotten and was
cultivated as well as the physical, and all
seemed to enjoy themselves to the fall. At
the appointed hour the people passed from
the basement to the auditorium, where the
chair was taken by the pastel, Rev. Mi.,
Larkin. After musical seleetions from the
choir, the chairmen introduced Rev. Mr.
• Clark, vrho took as the subject of hie lec-
• ture, " Savonarola," the great Catholic re-
former, patriot and mertyr. He rapidly
traced the history, life and work of this
wonderful and good man of past times, add-
ing to the interest of the storey by woM
painting such as to bring the subject in im-
agination clearly before the view of every
auditor. The -lecture was intensely inter-
esting as well as instructive and, was listened
to throughout with breathlese attention.
Indeed the audience could not have paid the
lecturer s greater compliment than' by the
close attention svhich they gave him for the
hourand a hall occupied by the lecture. At
the ohne Rev, Rural Dean Hodgins, incum-
bent of St. Thomas ehurch, moved, and Rev.
I. B. Wallwite rester of • the Metlicdied

fox, but -were not able to get witb n shooting

railway track. Just as his foxeh p reached
the track a passenger train came huadering
along. The fox did not know vilh t to make

own account. He atoordingly caused the
•engine to give a shrill and unearthly whistle,
when the fax turned and ran along the track
for all it was worth. The engineer put on
full head of steam and there was an exciting
race for a few rods, but the poor fox was
overtaken and ib was so much frightened
that ib bad not wit enough to leave the
track, the wheels of the engine passing over
it and beheading it as clean as if the work

now Mr. William McDougall is the proud

• FARAiEV' Inseertiets.—A meeting of the
directors 4f the South Huron Farmers' In-
stitute was held on Wednesday last at Hen
-
oath The principal Widnes" of the meeting
was to arrange for the winter Institute
meetings. . The regular meetings will be
held at Exeter and Brucefield on Friday and
Saturday, January 15th and 16th, reepect-
ively. There will be an afternoon and even-
ing meeting at each place. In addition to
tbe regular speakers sent oub by the depart-
ment, Meson,. Robert MoMordie and R. B.
McLean, Kippen, wll1 take subjects ab the
Exeter meetings, and Mr. Robert Gardiner,
of Farquhar; and S. M. Sanders of Exeter,
at the Brecefield meetings. An effott is also
to be made to get a lady speaker for all the
ineetings.!, Supplementary meetings will be
held in February at Farquhar, Crediton,
Grand In.
Hensall, Tama and Seaforth.
The epeakers and subjects for these meetings
were also selected, but it is too early to an-
nounce them yet. The Institute is in a very
satisfsotory condition, bub eonsidering the
benefits available, there should be a much
larger membership, The membership fee *
only 25 cent", and any one of the many re-
ports gent to -all members is alone worth
double 'this amount to any farmer who takes
an interest in his ceiling. The great won-
der is ;that the membership of these instil
trites lenot at least ten times larger than ib
is.
