WHAT SOME SAY. — R:newing
his subscription to the NEW ERA a
gentleman at Belgrave Saye :—"Tried
to do without it but justsitnp'y can't."
DEBA'TE.—Clinton Collegiate In-
stitute is arranging for a debate add
entertainment, to take place in the
town hall, on the 29th inst. The sub-
ject of the debate will be, " Resolved,
that party government is not a hin-
drance to the best interests of the
State." Goderich High School will
take the negative, and Clinton the
affirmative,
VT>t:ws —In the Rattenbury St.
Methodist church, on Friday night,
Mr Sallows,of Goderich,gave a magic
lantern entertainment. In addition
to his promiscuous views shown, were
a number of local characters and
celebrities,all of whom were instantly
recognized. The entertainment, was
an enjoyable one.
SHOULD BE REMEMBERED.—The
revised statutes for 1888 contain
,phanges in the registry act. For in-
stance, deaths must be registered by
the person in whose house the death
occurs, and before the burial of the
body. Any person failing to comply
with the law is liable to a fine.
Readers will do well to remember
this advice.
TowN AGENT.—Mr W.Jackson has
been appointed town agent for the
Grand Trunk Railway,having resign.
ed his position as C. P. R. agent.
There were a number of applicants
for the position, but even all these
persons will admit that no more suit-
able one could have been chosen than
Mr Jackson, who combines consider-
able experience with good natural
tact and ability.
•
INCORRECT.—It was stated last
week, in one of the Exeter .papers,
that. Mr T.M.K.ay,._Reeve-of Usborne
had died, somewhat • unexpectedly.
.The announcement of his death was a
mistake, and doubtless arose through
the death of his wife, who has 'been
suffering with a lingering disease for
years. She is spoken of as a very
estimable person, whose quiet, unas-
suming demeanor won her the admire.
tion and love of all.
UNDER `FALSE PRETENCES.—The
other day a man from the country
went into a store and represented that
he wanted some articles for a neigh-
bor of his. They were given to him,
and shortly after be went out the same
neighbor came in for similar articles.
Being told that they had just been
procured for him, he' was naturally
indignant at the misrepresentation of
the other. Ifr Paisley started out to
search for the deceiver, but did not
succeed in finding him..
AN EFFECTriE SABBATH SCHOOL.
LESSON.—Sunday last a certain teach-
er in a Clinton Sabbath School in
illustrating what it was to be humble,
said, among other things, that " it
meant to let others go before you."
Among bis hearers were two dieters,
aged about five and three years, end
when these children got home they
told their parents the lesson on hu-
mility. Next morning, as is ',usual
among children, there was a race to
see which of them would get down
stairs first, add as the eldest led the
way she suddenly stopped; and said
to, her little sister :—" Here, you •go
ahead, 1 want to be bumble," and she
knew what humility meant. A touch-
ing incident of this kind deserves to
be kept on record.
MANHOOD FRANCHIsE.—Tire asses-
sor is now going his rounds and it is
therefore important that the attention
of the public be called to the fact
that this year " every male person of
the full age of 21 years, a subject of
her majesty by birth or naturaliza-
t.iop," and not otherwise disqualified,
hag a right to have his name entered
as a person qualified to vote at the
next general election for the Legisla-
tive Assembly. The disqualifying
clauses refer to students attending a
high school or college ; those who
have not been residents for a period
of nine months preceeding the time
fixed for making the assessment roll ;
to persons in gaol or persons under-
going punishment for criminal of-
fence ; and to insane .persons or to
those who are in whole or in part sup,-
ported
up,ported by some charitable institution.

records of the various congregations
were submitted for examination, and
duly examined.
The remit on travelling expenses to
the General Assembly was again tak-
en up from last meeting and adopted
simpliciter, with the exception of the
last clause, which was dropped.
Upon the opening of the afternoon
sederunt there was a conference dur-
ing the first hour upon the recom•
mendation attached to the report of
the Assembly's Committee on the
State of Religion, special reference
being made to the recommendation
that congregational territory be di-
vided ieto districts, each to be under
the oversight of an elder. The dis-
cussion brought out difficulties in the
working of the District system, and
it was seen that in many instances
good can be done by the elders unit-
ing and working together.
The Committee on the State of Re-
ligion presented their report through
Rev. Mr McDonald, convener, which
contained the following recommenda-
tions:-
1. That the questions sent down
from Assembly be fewer in number.
2. That the questions be sent down
only every three years. . +
The report, as presented, with ex-
ception of the second recommenda-
tion, was adopted, and the convener
and committee thanked for their
work. .
The report of the committee on
temperance was presented by the
Rev Mr Simpson. The report, with
some amendments was adopted. There
were appended:to the report as adopt-
ed recommendations to the purport
following:—
That in view of the generally ex-
pressed declaration as to the increase
of drinking, ministers be called on to
bring the matter prominently before
their people, and that the question of
temperance be specially dealt with
from the pulpit at least one Sabbath
in the year.
2:' That temperance organizations
be formed in each congregation, un-
der the supervision of Sessions, hav-
ing for 'their object the propogation
of temperance views, and the adop-
tion and practice of that abstinence
on the part of members and adherents.
The remit on the supply of vacan •
cies was discussed, and deferred for
further discussion until the next
meeting.

ers appointed to attend next meeting

riere, Martin, Forrest, Simpson and
