FAREWELL SERMON8.—A corres-
pondent informs us that Rev. Mr.
Racey will preach farewell sermons
at St. Stephen's at 10;30, a. m ;
St. Janes', Middleton,at 2:30, p. m;
St. John's, Holmesville, at 5, p. m.
The card does not state on what date
but wo presume it will bo next
Sabbath. Mr. Racey has been ap-
pointed to Blyth rectory:
There has been a re -arrangement
of tate Mission district in this sec
tion. St Stephen's, Huron Road,
bas been joined to St. George's,
Goderich town. St. James, Mid-
dleton, St. John's, Holmesville and
St. Peter's, Su iinerhill, have been
joined into one separate Mission,
and we learn that Rev. Mr. Racey
who has so acceptably labored iu
the first three for soine years has
been appointed to the rectory at
Blyth, whither he will remove iu
two or three weeks.
Some time bine ago two boys and
two girls were seen loitering ou the
road horns from school. As it went
from 'mouth to mouth •'I thinks"
were added and in time the "I
thinks" were related as facts until it
came out as a case of immoral con-
duct. The matter has been traced
up and the charge of immoral con
duct is entirely false. ' We wish to
remind those who strgtched or added
to the, facts iu the above that
Shakespeare says :
"He thatfilches from me my good name
Rubs the of that -which not eurtehz. hint,
And stakes me poor indeed."
And George Houghton has written :
".Lot your truth stand slue, and the world
is true ;
Let your heart 1: cep pure, and the world
will, too."
In the :New Era of the 14th ult.
thorn was an item stating that two
boys had waylaid a little girl going
home from school not far from
Clinton, and that she had suffered
violence at their hands. The boys
referred to chased the little girl Dud
deserved severe punishment for so
doing but the charges as made in
the 11'etc Era are totally untrue.
We make this correction to allay
the indignant feelings of the rela-
tives of the little girl concerned and
hope the !Vets Era iu futuro will not
publish such items as the one refer-
red to with a sentence at the cud
commencing with with "If true",
but will be perfectly sure that it is
true, and not soil the character of
innocent children or its columns with.
that kind of fiction. Publishing
items injurious to innocent persons
and then deploring the situation "if
true ', reminds one of the impulsive
Irishman who knocks hia man down
Without inquiry as to whether it is•
the right head ho is hitting, only to
find after irreparable injury has
boon done that it is an innocent
man he nearly killed.

A weary heart is at rest, a noble
pulse has stilled—Willian Welling-
ton Connor is dead ! Dead, full of
years and full of honors. For some
years he Lad been declining in
health. IIe died here Monday
morning. IIe was born in Ireland and
first settled in the eastern part of
this province. Probably over fifty
years ago he settled here. Ile was
one of the oldest Orangemen in
Canada, an honorary member of the
Right Worshipful Grand Lodge ' of
British Notth America, and ex -
County Master of South Huron. He
was a justice of the peace, first reeve
of Bayfleld and until a few years ago
Division Court Clerk which failing
health compelled hint to give up.
IIe was an ardent loyalist in the
fullest and broadest sense. Whether
in Orange matters, militia matters or
political matters he gave his whole
mind to the furtherance of these in
the interest of his adopted country
and of British connexion and British
supremacy. He retired from the
militia with the rank of Ma-
jor. Ifs married .a sister of the
late Andrew Rutledge. The widow
survives him. A married daughter
is married to the Rev. Mr. Ryan,

Peace to his departed spirit. Seldom
shall we look upon his like again.
As he was a long time friend of Tam
