ply to Dr. Armstrong, Gorrie.
Mr. Torrance, of Listowel, Will-
i brother of Rev, Mr. Torrance, of this
village, was in Gorrie on Friday last.
These brothers are the exact image of
each other, and the GAZETTE editor is
not the only person who was deceived
by their close resemblance. We admit,
however, to having_ been completely
"taken in."
While returning from a . prayer -
meeting, held at a foam hcuse a few
-miles south of Gorrie one evening last
week, an elderly, couple, who lived just
across the road, got lost in the orchard,
the night being very dark, and were not
able to extricate themselves until their
son "Tam" for whom they called Iustily
for a long time, came with a lantern
and guided them safely home. Their
neighbors are now enjoying a good-
natured joke at their expense.
On Sunday last the Methodist ser-
vices were held in the town hall. Mr.
C. C. Kaine preached in ` the morning
and Mr. Willoughby in the evening.
Rev. Mr. Torrance was able to take
part in both services. Quarterly ser-
vices will be held on Sunday next.
There will be no Sunday school in the
afternoon, but the evening services will
be devoted to the children.
Mr. Taman; who was burned out on
Tuesday night, started the next morn-
ing for Blyth, where his relatives live,
to get instruments in connection with
his business to replace the ones de-
stroyed. He intends to commence
work immediately on his return, to -day,
so that those whose orders he has will
scarcely be delayed by his misfortune.
A meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society
of the English church was held in the
church on Monday last. They have
undertaken' to raise money to purchase
a new organ for the :church._ and have
already quite an amount on hand for
that purpose. At the above meeting it
was agreed to hold a garden party on
the 24th of May, at Mr. Jas. Perkins' to
aid in their undertaking. Their object is
a worthy one and deserves the support
of every member of the congregation.
Here is a nut for -the Patrons of In-
dustry. and Grangers to crack. We
have a large number of thein on our
Subscription list and we will gladly give
space to the reply of any who wish to
make it : We are credibly informed
that the recent "combine" of the manu-
facturers of farm machines has resulted
in giving implements to the farmers at
lower prices than before ; and that
many . of the'implements -- more es-
pecially the binders— are better ma-
chines than the old ones.
There is a standing reward of $500,
made a few years ago by the council,
forthearrest of parties proven guilty of
arson in the township. This ought to
be sufficient to induce a good detective
to attempt to ascertain whether or not
there is any foundation teethe suspicion
held by many of our residents, that
the fire the other evening was the work
of an incendiary.
Word was received here this week of
the death of Mr. Alex. Wiggins, which
occurred at Los Angelos, California, on
Friday last, of diphtheria. Deceased
was a son of Mr. Henry Wiggins, of this
village, and was a well known and
well liked Howick boy. - He was married
about two years ago, ahnost immediate-
ly after which he removed to'Los
Angelos.,;.
Our -merchants: are now buying and
selling eggs by the pound. The new
rule works quite satisfactorily and the
wonder is that it was not adopted years
ago. The next radical change which.
should, come is the payment of the
statute labor tax in cash instead of, the
present unprofitable -to -all system of
-working it out . on• ,the roads. It is
bound to come some time. .
The Gorrie Brass Band has been re-
organized with Messrs. -1V. II, Clegg as
President; W. Doig, Vice -Pres., N. Mc-
Laughlin, sec. -Trees and J. W. Green,
leader. The instruments will be given
out on Friday evening when the Band
expects to start practise with about 16
performers. Half a dozen or so of the
old players will: join the Band so the
boys should be able to play in - public in
a few weeks.

We extend our congratulations to
Bro. Whitely, of the Clinton
Record on his recent appointmeto the
nt of Collector of Customs in that
town. As a reward for party services
he is justly entitled to the position for
he had done able service for a long time,
and there is no more genial member of
the Fourth Estate in the county. By
the way, Bro. Whitely has had some
startling experiences lately. First he
was shot ---through his tall hat ; next
he "swore off" drinking. _and that means
a good deal to an : d.itor ; and now he's
actually been placed in a position to
handle a little money occasionally.
Division court was held here yester-
day. One of the interesting cases which
came up was Ferguson vs. Bell, and
quite a number were present to listen
to it. The trouble arose out of the sale
of some cattle to Mr. Ferguson by Mr.
Bell, with the understanding that they
were to be delivered at Lakelet on a day
named by the former gentleman, which
was to be about the middle of the next
week. On the day in question Mr. F.
came and wished his stock delivered
that same day.. Mr. Bell was not at
home, but his daughter went for him
and the cattle were duly taken to Lake -
let and weighed.:. Mr. Ferguson, how-
ever, did not expect that Miss Bell
would overtake her father, (who had
started for Wingham) so he prooebded
to Clifford, and consequently was not
on hand to received the cattle and Mr.
Bell consequently drove them home
again. The next day Mr. Ferguson
came for the stock but Mr. Bell now re-
fused to deliver them, and tendered Mr.
F. the advance money- which he had
paid on the animals. Hence the suit.
Verdict was given in favor of Mr. Bell.
Robinson, of Walkerton, for Plaintiff ;
Irwin, of Gorrie, for defendant.
Taman's tailorshop was burned to the
ground on Tuesday night. The fire
was first noticed by Miss Perkins, who
observed it from her grocery stor e and
gave as prompt an alarm as she could.
The hostler at the Albion also heard
the crackling about the same time and
his lust ries brought enough people
to the Siietleto carry the greater portion
of Mr. Taman's clothing, machines,
tools, etc., out before the interior became
too hot. The building belonged to Mr.
W. S. Bean, and workmen had been
engaged for some' time in the work of
veneering it. Sharpin's brick tailor -
shop, a few feet distant on the south,
was saved with difficulty, dozens of
men working hard with buckets for
about three quarters of an hour, While
the wind fortunately favored their
efforts, carrying the flames and smoke
slightly away from this structure. The
Albion hotel, across the road, was con-
stantly in great danger, the roof having
caught several times from flying masses
of burning sparks. But here, too, the
workers showed themselves equal to the
occasion and water was copiously ap-
plied on the roof. How the building
caught fire is not known, but it was
either a case of incendiarism or the very
improbable ono of accidental firing from
the outside, as the outer wall, next
to Sharpin's shop, was a mass of fire
Naming over the roof when the alarm
was given and the fire was.just taking
hold inside as those arriving first
reached the scenes_ There was no in-
surance on the building as it was just.
being bricked up, and Mr. Bean who has
now for the third time been the victim
of apparent incendiarism, does not feel
strongly disposed to invest his money
for the amusement of fire -bugs. We
hope the matter will be thoroughly in-
vestigated, for with the inferior fire
protection in the village, property
owners cannot afford to risk the pres-
ence in town of that mos detestable of
all persons, the incendiary. •

. That Baptist Question
[Intended for last week.]
Editor Gazette :—In view of the recent
utterances of Rev. Mr, Osborne, and the
debate between him and "Second Liner,"
I thought the following, clipped from
the columns of the Christian Guardian
of Last week, and penned by a repre-
sentative Baptist minister, might at
this juncture be interesting to your
readers:
" LETTER
me, through them ediuPm of theTIST Guardian to int
form your readers of the fact that I have this
week resigned niy position as pastor of Port El-
gin and North Bruce (Baptist) churches and shall
apply to the C-uelph or some other conference,
for admission into the Methodist ministry. The
above is the outcome of a long and thorough
study of the ordinance of Baptism. In so far as
I have had opportunity, both in Woodstock Col-
lege and McMaster Hall, as well as in my pastoral
work, I have carried out a resolution which I
made when I was immersed, namely that I would
study every book on Baptism that I could find,
and there is no work known to me that I have
not studied. I would prefer being at work for
the Master during the time between now and
Conference, hence I have taken this plan of
acquainting the Methodists with my desire. * *"
I might say that I was pastor of Nis -
sand Circuit Methodist Church when
Rev. W. J. Waddell, the author of the
above epistle, was inducted into the
pastorate of the Baptist Church of that
place. A great stir was made among
onr people there by the strong state-
ments of the preacher on the Baptist
question, going so far as to call the af-
fusion practise "squirt -gun baptism." I
met him several times and he seemed to
think himself called to the work of con-
verting Affusionists to the immersion
theory, for he was constantly talking on
the subject and seeking to convince us -
of the error of our ways. In the parson-
age at Wellburn to which he had come
on some matter of business, we had
quite a little tussle over the question.
Re seemed then quite •conversant with
his side of the question, being able to
quote profusely from the standard
authorities. I did not dream that one
so strongly entrenched in his position
could ever be drawn or driven from it;
But to my great surprise he has changed
his position entirely. Why ? Is it be-
cause he has carefully studied- both
sides of the question ? He Says so, and
we will not contradict him. I might
say I haye• read nearly all the argu-
ments that are advanced on both sides
and if I once was just a little doubtful I
am now fully convinced that our posi-
tion is impregnable and the arguments
on this side simply unanswerable. It
may be asked as to Mr. Waddell's
education and abihty ? His letter
shows him to have attended Woodstock
College, and then McMaster Hall and he
was regarded when I first knew him as
a man of no small mental calibre. He
is a man of strong personality, resolute
will power and almost striking origin-
ality of expression. I refer to this to
show that - he is not a man to move -
without a reason. He must be con-
vinced before he will yield and then he
will yield reluctantly. I . trust the
Methodist church may see her way clear
to receive him into her ministry, for we
want men, who when they come from
other churches, do so, not because they
mjght possibly benefit their financial
condition, but because upon thorough
investigation they know they have
reached the truth.
.Pardon me, Mr. Editor, for trespass-
ing on your space. I will not touch the
controversary, but simply give my ex,
perience as above.
Yours for Light,
Fordwich, April 18th '92,
W. PRIMO,
