•dist Church, Gierie. All the ministers
in and on the borders- of Howick, to-
gether with a layman from each Sunday

pected that an Association will be
formed on a broad and substantial basis,
and which will give a fresh impetus to
Sabbath School worls
An extra work is required of the asses-
sors, now about to begin their work,
which should not be overlooked. Sec-
tion No. 11 from the Compulsory School
Attendance Act says: "The assessors of
every municipality shall annually, when
making their assessment, enter in a
book to be provided by the clerk of the
municipality, in the Form A, in the
schedule of the Act, the name, age and
residence of every child between the age
of eight and fourteen years, resident in
the municipality, and the name and
residence of such child's parent or
guardian, and return the said book to
the clerk of the said nmicipelity, with
the assessment roll foi the use of the
truant officer. -
On Monday last P. Lavin met with a
bad accident which might easily have
resulted fatal. He was out in Howick
on business, called at S. Johnson's, tied
his horse to a post and when ready to
leave took the horse by .the head to turn
it around. ' As the rain had caused a
crest upon the snow it was somewhat
difficult to turn:- From some reason
the horse took, fright, jumped against
Mr. Lavin, knocked him down and must
have trampled upon hint and _drew the
cutter over him also. Mx. Johnson wit-
nessed the accident and at once assisted
him into the house and afterwards drove
himihome. Medical aid was soon called
in when it was discovered that several
ribs had been broken and his body and
legs badly bruised. At last accounts he
was doing well. The horse ram several
miles and smashed the stutter before
being eapturedal--Teibuave.

The fact is Gerrie presents as good, (if
not a better) market for produce as any
of the neighboring towns, wbi.lewedoubt
if any—place within driving distance Of
Howick can produce finer stocks, or at
finer cut prices than can our Gerrie
business men whose advertisements ap-
pear in this issue of the-- GAZETTE. It
is not the size of a town that makes it
the best market. Good, substantial
business men, who can command the
best cash advantages of the wholesale
markets are the men who make a good
lionsemarket, and the lively appearance
.of Gosrie is a good indication that our
village contains that desirable class of
merchants.
A committee appointed by the con-
gregation of St. Jude's Church, Brant-
ford, to confer with the iihOptif ITurrn
regarding the appointment of a new
Rector, have chosen the Rev. T. A.
Wright, of our town, and we learn that
the Bishop has been pleased to make the
appointment. We understand that Mr.
Wright has accepted. We regret his
leaving very much. He has -labored in
our midst for three and a half years,
during which time our parish has made
rapid strides forward. The old church
in Fordwich, which for thirty years has
been used for public worship, has been
replaced by a new handsome brick, at a
cost of over $2,500, and is now free of
debt. A bell 1000 Ms in weight was
placed during thetime in a, new belfry
upon the Gorrie Church, the parsonage
freed from debt and the whole raised
from a mission drawing largely fromthe
funds of the Diocese to that of a self-
supporting parish. Mr. Wright is a
systematical parish worker, and an
earnest, practical preacher. His remov-
al from our midst will be much regretted.
We anticipate no fear for his success in
Brantford nor for the prosperous state
of St. Jude's under his ministry. He
takes charge on May lst.
Several communications have been
received by us from parties who wish to
refute "Honesty's" attempt to blacken
the personal character of the editor of
the GAZETTE, in last week's Vidette.
While thanking our friends we much
prefer not to publishtheir letters. There
is nothing in our personal character,
'private or public, or in our political re-
cord, which can be injured by such an -
unmanly and cowardly attack as the
person who should have signed "Die:
honesty" appears capable of. If that-
-
would-be assassin of character wants
to know why we left Gerrie and what
became of our money, he canseasily find
-out by callindatIhis office, althbugh, he
knows very well it is none of his business
and he only asked the question for the
sake of the stab he thought he was in-
flicting. The Reformers and Conserva-
tives who associate with the editor of
this paper are gentlemen whose charac-
ters are mountain -high above dis-Honesty
in every honorable respect, while "Anon"
is not only a Conservative of the highest
standing who wields a wide political
influence in this section, but his person.
al chatacter is such as to give him a
prominent plabe in socialcircles. Then,
it was not the Grits who brought usback
to Gorrie, but Reformers and Conserva-
tives alike joined in the effort when we
were many miles away with not the
faintest thought of returning; Conserva-
tives and Reformers alike joined in
"putting their hands in their pockets"
I to establish the GA.ZETTE; Conservatives
and Reformers alike are now supporting
it far beyond our anticipations. And
not a solitary Reformer has even asked
us -either to run the GAZETTE on Grit
lines or to "turn Grit" individually.
Theobject in establishing the GAZETTE
was to have a paper published here
which would do credit to the village and
section, -andswiticlr-weald command a
circulation that would enable advertisers
to reach their patrons. It will be our
aim to keep the GAZETTE up to the
standard - which has brought to it the -
unexpectedly large support already

Gorrie Mechanics' Institute.
A. largely attended meeting of the
newly organized Mechanics' Institute
was held in the town hall last ;Monday
evening. •
On motion Mr. Wm. Doig was- called
to the chair, and explained the object of
the meeting to be to formally organize
.the Institute, and elect provisional offi-
.
cers and directors and place the society
in working order.
Mr. Fennell, the Secretary, read the
minutes of the previous meeting, which
were adopted.
The chairman read the new Act re-
specting Mechanics' Institutes and also
a letter from the Minister of Education
explaining the matter more fully.
After an earnest discussion of the
question it was unanimously decided, on
motion, to go on with the election - of
officers so as to place the Society in a
position to receive the government grant
this spring.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
President—Bev. T. A. Wright.
Vice -Pres. ---J. R. Williams.
Sec.-Treas.--Wm. Doig.
Directors—Messrs. R. Blow, N. Mc-
Laughlin, W. H. Clegg, J. M. Kaine, W.
J. Perkins, John B. Campbell, Dr. Tuck,
Jas. Armstrong, V.S., W. J. Greer.
It was then decidedsto leave the mat-
ter of arranging the membership fee,
dues; appointing collectors, etc., in the
hands of the Directors and the meeting
adjourned.
There is a strong feeling in favor of
the Society in this village and neighbor-
hood, and it is likely that a large mem-
bership will be secured.
