NOTES.—Mr Galbraith, a distinguish-
ed phrenologist, has been delivering a
course of lectures, in school house No.
4, during the past two weeks, and has
very favorably impressed those who
have listened to him, both by his phre-
nological and speaking abilities. Mrs
George Murdie and her. niece, Miss Mc-
Donald, spent Saturday and Sunday
last with friends in- Logan. Mr and
Mrs A. McLeod, of this township, and
Mr and Mrs R. Scott, of Seaforth, were
visiting friends in the neighborhood of
Teeswater during part of last week and
the beginning of this week. The tea
meeting and entertainment held by
the various orange societies in this
vicinity on Thursday evening last,
were a grand success. Mrs McEwan
has let the contract of the new store,
in Leadbury, to Mr Rock, of Logan,
who has purchased the planing fac-
tory and business of Mr Querengresser,
of Logan. Mr Armstrong's sale was a
good success on Saturday last, every-
thing going to its value.
Belgrave
DEATH.—A sad event occurred in
our village on Friday evening last.
Mrs Timmins (Miss Carson) met with
an accident a short time ago; last
Friday she underwent a painful opera-
tion, which was her only hope, and
did not survive long after it. We
have reason to believe she died in
peace; aboutfiveon Friday, she was vis-
ited by the Rev Mr Hughes, of Wing -
ham. The funeral was last Sabbath
a service was held in the English
church, the text was "The just shall
live by faith." The church was nicely
draped; after, service the corpse was
conveyed to Wingham, there to await
the final resurrection. The husband
and family have our sympathy.
NOTES—Division Court was held last
Monday at Mr James Owens. A spec-
ial sermon to young men next Sab-
bath by the Rev J. Dyke.
Blyth
NOTES.—A night school is about to
be organized in town, a most com-
mendable project ; Mr A H Plummer
will be teacher. Alex Taylor, of St
Thomas, was in town, on Tuesday.
The Rev Mr Highly, Hanover, will
officiate in Trinity church next
Sunday. Mr T Metcalf was in Mitch-
ell this week, attending the funeral of
his sister, Mrs Goforth. Geo Perkins
paid a visit to his home in Gorrie, on
Thursday of last week. Miss Moun-
teer is the guest of Mrs Slater, at pres-
ent. A number of our citizens attend -
the funeral of the late Mrs Timmins, on
Sunday, in Belgrave. M,r D. Metcalf,
of Toronto, visited friends in town this
week. Mr H Nering, of St Marys, has
been engaged as baker by Mr McBride.
The Scottish concert on Thursday ev-

procession was one of the largest ever
seen in Wingham.
RETURNED.—We are pleased to hear
that Mr George Baker, who has been
away from town for several months,
for the good of his health, returned
last week, and has commenced work
again.
E TURNED UP ALL RIGHT. — One
of our business men appeared to be
quite anxious, last Saturday morning,
because his unmarried brother had not
come home during the night. Is it not
really surprising how soon folk forget
the anxious thoughts they have given
others, before they had deserted single
blessedness themselves. '
TEMPERANCE.—There were between
thirty and forty persons proposed
in the Anchor Hope Temperance Lodge
here, on Tuesday evening, and the
Royal Templars of Temperance are
having a number added to their ranks
at each meeting. No doubt but king
alcohol will make a bitter struggle, but
truth and right shall prevail.
CELEBRATION.—The Orange celebra-
tion of. the 5th of November, in the
Temperance Hall, here, was well pat-
ronized; the small charge of ten cents
was made, to defray expenses, and was
far beneath the Usual charge for such
entertainments. }lir C. E. Clarke oc-
pied the chair, and in a very appropri-
ate speech, made known the object of
the gathering, by saying that this was
the commencement of a series of -such
like meetings, which they intend to
hold during the winter months. He
then called on the Misses Watson, who
gave instrumental music on organ and
violin, with good effect; followed by a
recitation by Miss Martin, entitled
"Jimmie McNeil," which held the au-
dience in perfect silence A song, by
Miss Farr, was well rendered; a recita-
tion, "Billie, lost 130 years ago," by Miss
Bullard; was given in good style; a
song, by the Misses Watson, "Come,
come, come away where the lillies in
the meadow fill the air with perfume,"
was really delightful; a recitation, by
Miss Martin, "I have gone with a more
handsome man than you, John," was
well rendered, and had a grand moral
lesson in it; a recitation, by T. Cornyn,
"He and his wife,' was somewhat
comical; the Misses Watson gave an-
other instrumental duet, and then Rev
Mr Hughes gave his lecture on the
Inquisition of Spain, giving an outline
of the suffering caused by the church
government of that time, and spoke in
a very feeling manner; the lecture
throughout was very interesting...

NOTES,—We are sorry to say that

"There has been a deal of real estate

RE -OPENING OF NORTH T. METHO-
DIST CHURCH.—During th past five or
six weeks, North street Methodist
church has been undergoing extensive
repairs. The ceiling has been much im-
proved by a combination of papering
and frescos painting, very tastefully
executed by E. R. Watson. The walls
and woodwork have also received their
share of attention from the paint brush.
The main entrance to the building has
been altered considerably, and is a de-
cided improvement on the old mode of
ingress and egress. The opening ser-
vices were held last Sunday, the ser-
mons being preached by Cgnductor
Snyder, so well and favorably known
throughout- Western Ontario. In the
morning]he preached his conversion
sermon, which was one of • the most
touching discourses it has been the.
privilege of your correspondent to lis -
to, and while women wept as the con-
ductor told, of the way the Lord led
him to Himself, grizzled and gray-hair-
ed old men were also noticed wiping
away a tear or two. In the evening
he preached the now famous railroad
sermon, by request. The attendance
at each Service was large, particularly
so in the evening, the capacity of the
church being taxed to its utmost, to
accommodate the people, fully eleven
or twelve hundred being present. The
subscriptions and collections towards
the improvement fund amounted to
over $700. The interior appearance of
this church makes it one of the hand-
somest in this section.
Nile
Mrs Cantlon, of Clinton, has been
rusticating at the Nile for a few weeks,
being the guest of her sister, Mrs Thos
Boyd.
The people in this vicinity can afford
to:sustain a temperance lodge, but are
too poor to maintain a licensed hotel.
We sometimes think, judging from ap-
pearances that the government might
as well have the license money.
The regular quarterly meeting in
connection with the Methodist church
here, took place on Sunday, Nov. 1st,
Rev. E. A. Fear officiated. In the ev-
ening of the same day, Mr Fear preach-
ed a sermon in memory of the late Mrs
Ryan. The inclemency of the weather
prevented some from being present at
both services. •
The regular preaching service at the
Nile, was withdrawn last Sunday
morning, to allow the members to at-
tend service in Goderich and hear Con-
ductor Snyder. Several of the people
availed themselves of the opportunity
thus afforded and, hearing Mr Snyder,
they considered themselves well paid
for the difference of travel to Goderich
instead of to the Nile.
As announced in a former issue, the
Orange supper and entertainment
came off on Nov. 5th. It was a grand
success, considering that other enter-
tainments were held not far away on
the same evening. The speakers were
Revs E. A. Fear, of Nile; A. Potter, of
Dungannon; and W. Ayres, Holmes-
ville; each of these gentlemen deliver-
ed eloquent addresses, and those pres-
ent went away well pleased with the
pleasant time they had spent. When
you want a good Orange address call
on any of these reverend gentlemen.
On Tuesday evening, Nov. 3rd, six-
teen soldiers of the Salvation Army,
stationed at .Goderich, invaded our
town and took the Orange hall. A
large crowd assembled to take part in
the services, before the meeting open-
ed some of the boys acted as though
they had never seen a wild beast, and
thought the soldiers were bears or
something wilder, But after the ser-
vices
were fairly started there was no
disturbances, e
e s and nearlya
entered
tared
into the spirit o1?
the meeting. The
chief attractions; of the eVening were
the "Musical Wonder" from Sarnia,
and the "Saved Russian."
