On Friday evening last a very en- joyable time was spent at the resi- dence of Mr. Drysdale, Huron Road, by the trustees and their partners and the young people of S. S. No. 1. As is often the case when youth and beauty meet, songs and games whil- ed away the evening hours all too quickly. After a sumptuous tea, to which all did full justice, the occas- ion was taken advantage of by the young folk present to present Mr. Drysdale with a handsome pair of Morocco slippers. The services rendered by Mr. Drysdale were briefly referred to in a short speech by Mr. John Sowerby, after which Miss Grace Wilson gracefully made the presentation. Mr. Drysdale, who, in the capacity of Superintend - ant of S. S. No, 1 Sunday School has won the esteem of all, was quite surprised but made a suitable reply, thanking his friends for such a handsome present and expressing the hope that the same good feeling which prompted the present action would ever prevail throughout the section. After all had enjoyed themselves immensely, the evening's enjoyment was hastened to a close by the clock sounding forth a single peal as if partaking of a rest also on this festive occasion. Then the young ladies and gentlemen present repaired to their respective homes, thereby betting a good example to the authorities of the section present in full force, feeling convinced that a more affable and generous host and hostess than Mr. and Mrs. Drysdale would be indeed hard to find.

Early on Saturday morning Con stable Davies, night watchman in this burg,had his attention drawn to some men who who were talking on the doorstep of Metcalf's Jewlery store, Seeing they were strangers and their movements suspicious he arrested them and lodged them in the cooler. Upon returning to the place where her arrested them a chisel, brace add bit and a dirk knife were lying in the road which it appears had been taken from some of our blacksmiths shops. It also appears that the door of the store had been somewhat tampered with. The three prisoners 9f a Crampy nature wore brought before our J. Pe., Saturday morning and remanded untill Monday when they . were again brought before Magis- trates Relly, Hamilton and Young ' in Industry Hall.

The body of an unknown man was found floating floating in the river here Saturday morning. He is five feet four inches in height, of a rather stout build and about 60 years of age, sandy hair turning grey, and whiskers shaved off his chin.. He wore two white shirts, a suit of dark material and over the first coat a frock coat of corded cloth.

Collison has been visiting his sister, Mrs. Wm.Lasham, the past week.—Miss Minnie Kernighan is visiting at Mrs. A. Beck's. A BLUE OUTLOOK FOR TILE GRITS. A redistribution of seats must fol. low the bringing down of the cen- sus. That will mean, says a con- temporary, a considerable gain to the Conservatives on the next gen- eral election, for the large cities which are strongly Conservative are entitled to more representation than they now have. For instance Ontario has a total population of 2,112,000 inhabitants. Of that number 181,000 or 11,- per cent. live in Toronto. Yet Ontario out- side of Toronto has 88 representa- tives while Toronto has only three or 2i- per cent. Now, it it obvious if Toronto has 11 per cent. of the population she should have 111i per cent. of the representation, or in- stead of three members she should have eight. Toronto is so intense- ly Conservative that that of course would mean a net gain of five seats to the Government. Montreal is even worse off. Montreal's popu- lation is 216,000 while that of the whole of Quebec is only 1 ,448,000. Thus Montreal has a trifle over a sixth of the population and slight- ly less than a twentieth of the re- presentation. Montreal, therefor•, at the very least, is entitled to ripe representatives, and judging by the late election they would all be good Tories. Let us pass westward . The pop ulation of Manitoba has increase,l by 1.48 per cent. She had five re- presentatives before. On the same basis should now have thirteen. According to the present party ratio eleven of these would support the Government and two go with the Opposition. British Columbia has increased by 140 per cent. She had six members before, that should give her 14. They would all sup- port the Government. The representation of the terri- tories should increased by two, and these would also go in for good Government. Now, ignoring the claims of Ham- ilton and several places for increas ed representation, the readjustment described above would give the. Government no less than twenty- eight fresh supporters, a tolerable majority in itself. The outlook is not bad—Guelph Herald. —The Ohio conference of the Method- ist i:pisoopal church, by a vote of 125 to 27, has voted to admit women to gni . eras conferences as lay delegates.
