Rural Dean Craig preached a sermon on the late Pre- mier of Canada, taking for his text, "Honor to whom honor, tribute to whorls tribute," etc. The sermon was full of practical leasons, the late Premier many times taking his stand on important questions on purely Scriptural ground. NABBED. — Detective Murray, Chief of the Ontario Detective Department, has succeeded in effecting the arrest of Thomas Chambers, of Guelph, one of the cracksmen who is believed to have had a hand in committing the re- cent Post Office robberies through- out Ontario and who is believed to be the fellow who shot constable Bulmer of Listowel in Clinton a few weeks ago and escaped. Cham- bers went to Portage Le Prairie, Man., where he is now serving a sen• tence of 60 days for an offence corn • witted there. As soon as this is up he will be handed over to the au- thorities of Huron to answer the charge of shooting constable Bulmer with intent to murder. A NEW INDUSTRY.—The indefa- tigable and ingenious Mr. Smith- son has invented a new churn and is manufacturing them in town ou an extensive scale. He has been to Kin• sardine and other pointe introducing them and appointing agents. In actual workiug Mr. Smithsou's churn has been found to be a great labor economizer, and by the scien- tific construction and motion of the dasher collects intact the oily parts which form butter, from the serous and curdy, speedily, which causes butter made in this churn to have that nice grainy appearance which makes the article so much more pal- atable than when the life is pound- ed out of it by ordinary churns so as to cause it to have that greasy. putty- like and dead appearance resembl- ing axlegreaae. A VETERAN ORANGEMAN.—One day last week we had acall from Mr. Anthony Elliott of Goderich town- ship. The old gentleman, notwith- standing the over four score years that have passed over his venerable head, is still able to walk about un- aided and unattended. His mental faculitiea are unimpaired and his memory good. He showed us the original Orange certificate which he received from the Anglo- Hiberian Institution, Lodge No. 888, which held its meetings in Ennishway, District of Churchill County Fermanagh, Ireland, which was granted him on the 28th April, 1833 on his leaving Ireland for Canada. He had then been an Orangeman for seven years which makes him one of sixty-five years standing, which Orange record we think will be hard to beat, and if it can be beaten we would like to hear of it. Mr. Elliott is "A resid- ent of Goderich township since 1834 which is also a record hard to beat by any one now residing there. And to crown all, not only is he venerable but vener- ated as an upright,God fearing, law- abiding and loyal Britisher. Kind Words Never Die At semi-annual meeting of the County of South Huron L. 0. L. in Clinton last Saturday Bros Crooks, John Scarlett, W. H. Murney and County Master A. M. Todd were appointed a 6ommitee to draw up and forward a memorial of condol- ence with Lady Macdonald on the great lose she and the country have sustained in the death of the late Premier. The following has been • forwarded :— TO LADY MAODONALD AN FAMILY,— We the membersof the county Or- ange Lodge of South Huron, in sess- ion assembled, desire to express to yourself and family our heartfelt sor- row at the great national loss in the demise of our beloved, noble and pat- riotic Premier. He truly had bound tolhim the affections of all people. From the early days of responsible government up to the time of his death he had been identified with Canada's great growth and prosperity and the moulding of Canada as a nation. While we as a body have had cocas. ion to disagree with him at times we recognize the fact that his wise coun- sel and generous thought was for the good of the whole nation. He was a man of the people and governed by the people. And it is a great satis- faction to know that his work was well and faithfully done. We assure yon, Lady Macdonald and family, that we join ,in common with all loy- al citizens of Canada in extending our heartfelt empathy to you in your bereavement, knowing full well that consolation will come from Him from whotaftll•,,bleuri>rgsaoty Signed on behalf of the Committee.
