A HCRoNITE MURDERED.—Word
was received here last week of. the
• • murder- ofa -young Canadian named.
Harrison, at-Achland, Wis. He was
• robbed of 1400 that was in bis pos-
session, and the presumption is that
the murder was committed to get pos-
sion of his money. He was a brother
of Miss Minerva Harrison, of this
town, and his parents reside on the
Sauble line, Stanley.
DANGEROUS "JOKING."—For sev-
eral nights some one dressed in white
has been frightening ladies on the
street• His object appears to be only
a lark:as he has not offered any insult,
and when asked who is, used the
hackneyed phrase " Jack the Ripper."
Such arusement is decidedly dan-
gerous, and if .the party, whoever he
may be, falls into the bands of the
authorities, it will be made so inter-
esting for him that he will not repeat
the fun.
A BIG PERCENTAGE.—A couple of
young men "did up the town" the
other day selling small pieces of per-
forated tin " 8 cents each or 3 for a
quarter," about one inch square and
folded in two so as to fit over the end
of a tamp -wick, claiming that by
their use the wick is preserved, and' a
better light secured. Perforated tin
in sheets is worth at the outside 10
cents a sheet, and as one sheet will
,brake at least 150 of the nick -ends, it
will be seen that the young men have
a pretty fair margin of profit.

HE WAS NEGLIGENT.—We under
stand the East Huron Teachers' Con-
vention held at Clinton last week was
well attended and was a Auccessful
and interesting meeting. We hoped
to publish a report of the proceedings
this week, but up to date none has
been received, although a committee
of four was appointed to prepare and
furnish reports for the press.—Exposi-
tor. lone of the our persona ap-
pointed as reporters for the press was
Mr Dickson, of Seaforth Collegiate'
Institute, who evidently neglected the
proper performance of his duties. As
all the newspapers are interested in
getting reports of such meetings we
will give a pointer that will be of
service to those wbo have anything to
do with representative gatherings,
tvhether they are of the nature of
school, church. political or other
gatherings. Let some one or more
be appointed whose duty it is to furn-
ish a concise report for the press,
Instead of writing several reports, the
skme in substance, have only one,and
give the copy of this es quickly as
possible to some printing office in the
place •where the meeting is held, with
the • request that R8 800n as it is in
type, duplicates thereof be furnished
all the other newspapers in the county
that will use', it. In this way the
work of the reporter is greatly lesened,
while all the ends are better served,
and we know that the scheme is prac-
tical for' the reason that it has fre-
quently been carried cut in detail

TOWN COUNCIL.
The regular meeting was held ou
Monday night. The Street Commit-
tee's report recommended walks and
culverts in different parts of the town.
The Orange street drain bas been
covered at a cost of $103. The total
amount expended on streets to dtte
this year has been $402. Application
was made for some improvement to
the sidewalk in front of the Victoria
and Cooper blocks, and on motion the
pnatter las referred to the Street Com-
mittee.
The Fivanee Committee recomead-
ed payment of the following accounts:
G. Tedford, freight, $13.20; G. Ted-
ford, charity, $1 ; -G. Tedford, clean-
ing, etc., $3; Jas. Jackson, cutting
telegraph wires, 50 cents; . Davis,

hall, etc., $25; subscription to drain,
$290; weigh scales, $19.—Carried.
The Chief of the Fire Company, o
recommendation of the Inspector
Insurance, asked for five additional
firemen as twelve sten were not
enough ; he also asked for a grant to-
wards purchasing hose. Referred to
the Fire Committee.
Mr Searle called attention to the
lighting of the street lamps upon dark
nights; other members agreed with
him, and thought that it was the duty
of Mr Tedford to light them. Mr
Tedford complained that the lamps
were not in•fit shape talight, some o#'
them were rusted and in bad repair.
The Reeve claimed that Mr Tedford
was not doing his duty; if he waspaid
for lighting the lamps, he should do
it or report to theMayor. While this
.matter was up for discussion, that of
laying complaints before the Revd
of Health was also discussed, and dn.
the suggestion of Deputy -Reeve Man-
ning, it was decide.'. to leave a book
in the entry to the town hall, where
ratepayers may enter whatever com-
plaints they have as regards health ;
it will not be necessary to sign any
name, except a complaint is laid that
will call for a magistrate's case, when
the name of complainant must be
given. •

'1'o do 1 Slag,• .i ht Clint to ti- Era,
DEA)) Slit, --In your last issue you
state that a resolution was passed at
the Goderich District Meeting of the
llethodist'Church, that each minister
was requested to preach a .sermon an
giving, once 'a year. Surely, sir, we
are living in strange times, when it
is necessary to preach such sermons.
We do not read in the lives of the early
Methodist preachers that they did so
preach ; their object and theme was to
get souls saved, and then the 'support
came. I have no doubt that there are
some mean persons to be found, who
are wealthy, 'that will go to places of
worship, and receive the pleasure of
filling a seat, keeping themselves warns,
and pass away a little time in the
house appointed for the worship of God,
with a hope of increasing their business,
as it is considered respectable to go to
church. I will not say that they re=
ceive any benefit of the gospel by put-
ting their cent on the collection plate.
Mr Editor, I must remind you that
there is a large amount of money paid,
every year, in our town, to the different
places pf worship, outside of building
funds ; I .would say, at the least, ten
thousand dollars. While I do not say
it is too much to give to the cause of
Him who has given us life and happi-
ness, yet, as professing Christians, all
aiming for the same heaven, all holding
Similar views, instead of having four or
five buildings, with four or five preach-
ers, could not one minister attend to
the wants of all, giving the others the
opportunity of going to. places where
there are none, and could the not have
large and plain buildings, where the
poor and rich could have free seats
large enough to allow them to bring
their children. If I understand Ilea•
ven, there will be no distinction there.
I think, sir, ministers and other lead-
ingHien are apt to judge other people's
pockets, with regard to giving, more
than their own. How many are there
that have but six months' work in the
year, and small wages at that, Now,
o is it possible that they can afford to

these men, you cannot by telling them
how much they ought to give, but get
them thoroughly converted to God, and
that will open their pockets. My opin•
ion is, sir, that we are trying to build
up too many 'isms' and not enough
Christian unity. The Word says that
we cannot serve God and mammon,
also that we must be in the vine or we
cannot bear fruit. Bearing fruit means
liberal in all things, but how often do
