RI:VElt NOTES.—Mr J. Ferguson and
sons are busy laying up a supply of
ice from the river. Skating was good
between the piers on Saturday, and
quite a number of our young people
briskly exercised themselves on the
ice. The south half of the old bridge
is down and taken away; the pictur-
esqueness of the river is thus sadly
marred by the removal of this struc-
ture, which has been sen so much admired
by our,sumrner visitors.
ECCLESIASTICAL.—The collectors for
the schemes of St. - Andrew's church
were on their rounds last week. There
was no service in. St. Andrew's church
last sabbath as Rev. Mr Jamieson
was unable to be present as expected.
OnMonday evening,instead of Tuesday,.
the Y,P.S.C.E. met at the parsonage
for Bible study. The revival services
in the Methodist church were conclud-
ed last week; the sacrament of the
Lord's supper was dispensed' on Sab-
bath evening.
OUR NEW ENTERPRISE.—The farm-
ers of Stanley and Goderich township
are availing themselves of the good
sleighing by hauling their logs to the
saw mill; many piles of fine logs are
in the yard, but operations have not
yet started, on account of some mis-
take in..arranging the building; it is
hoped that this will soon be rectified,
as many have been anxiously looking
for the first volley from the tall smoke
stack.
FIRE.—At midnight, on the 1st inst.,
the fire alarmas
w heard and soon a
throng of men, women and children
was on the street, hurrying towards.
the conflagration, which proved to be
the house of Mr R. Bailey, occupied
by Mr S. Beattie and family. The
fire started in the kitchen chimney,
and made such headway before being
noticed that attempts to extinguish
the consuming element were futile.
On account of contrary winds the fire
made slow progress, which afforded
the willing workers ample opportunity
of saving most of the contents. Then
as nothing else could be done the spec-
tators from a distance gazed upon the
grand yet awful sight until some
whose feet had become cold from ex!"
-posure attempted- to -restore -heat to
their benumbed extremities by a foot
race towards Main street. A notice-
able feature of the crowd was that a
large number of the fair sex and ap-
parently
-
parently an equal number of youthful
swains appeared to have donned the
best apparel that their wardrobe :could.
afford. • Yet notwithstanding the
wild merriment which at times exist-
ed, all since! ey sympathized with the
owner and occupants; of whom a num-
ber of the latter were absent. The
building was insured, but a great loss
to the street is sustained by the de-
struction of the beautiful maples,
NOTES.—On Friday evening many of
our juveniles responded to an invita-
tion from Mr, W. Wilds, to attend a
dancing party all report a merry time,
which lasted far beyond the wee sma'
hours ayont the twa'; similar parties
took place on Jam.• 30th at Mr H.
Young's, of the cut line, and Mr Stew-
art's, of the Bayfield line in Goderich
township; both of which were attend-
ed by some of our villagers. Miss
Marshall, teacher of our nearest rural
school, is unable to discharge her dut-
ies through illness. ,Mrs Briegel, after
spending a good time with friends in
Bayfield and Goderich, has returned
to her home in Louisville, Ky. After
attending the funeral of Mr W. Mor-
gan, late of .Goderich, Mr and Mrs J.
Clark, of Detioit, spent a few days
with their brother, Mr J, Morggan, of
this place. Mrs A. Stirling and daugh-
ter, of Smiths Hill, spent a few days in
town last week. Miss Cash, has re-
turned t 1 Seaforth. Andy Elliott, son

cert. on the 29th, was a success. The
sweet strains of music, vocal and in-
strumental, were heard until a late
hour. A quartette by Misses A. Er-
win and M. Porterfield and Revs.
Messrs Kerrin and Diehl was well ren-
dered at the opening. Miss Morgan's
solos were highly eulogized; Ada and
Artie Kerrin arrested the attention of
the audience while they recited. Oth-
ers taking part wereMiss Park,'Messrs
A. Erwin, A. Peck and H. Elliott. The
most prominent feature of the even-
ing's entertainment was a seventy
minute lecture, delivered by Rev. Mr
Hodgins, of Seaforth, on his trip to
the Emerald Isle. His lecture was
largely descriptive of
the condition,
P
manners and customs of the Irish in
the South, referring occasionally to
the harsh treatment to which' some of
the unprincipailed ' landlords subject
the small landholders. Much zest was
did to the lecture by the -speaker's
ndulgenee in 'considerable humor
hick was the more appreciated" on
account of his being of Tipperary de-
scent. The principal places of inter-
est described were Dublin, Cork, Kil-
larney, Lirlierick and Blarney Castle,
where he kissed the proverbial stone.

which we would all be quite pleased
to hear. -

lar teacher of the Varna road school,
has been unable to teach, through sick-
ness, but is now recovering, and will.
be able soon to resume her duties.
QUARTERLY MEETING SERVICES OF
BAYFIELD CIRCUIT. — Instead of the
usual quarterly meeting services of
the Methodist church being held at
one appointment; an appropriate ser-
mon was preached at each appoint-
ment, after which the sacrament of the
Lord's Supper was administered. This
course was taken, that the older mem-
bers, and others who could not attend,
if the service was held at a distance
from their own church, might have the
opportunity of partaking of the sacra-
ment of the Lord's Supper. The con-
gregation at each church was good.
and the services were both helpful and
spiritual. The meeting of the official
al
boar d was held on Monday, at Bayfield;
each appointment was well represent.
ed. Finances, considering the hard
times, were very satisfactory, being
something in advance of last year.
Numerically, this circuit is weak, but
the families composing its membership
are devoted and loyal to the church.
Dungannon
CHURCH.—The quarterly meeting of
the Methodist church was held last
Sabbath, the pastor preaching from
John 14, 2-3. There vqa+ q good attend-
ance, and the service very helpful,
spiritually. • Two weeks' revival ser-
vices have been held, and are being
cojmtiinued-this week. The Sunday
SeTmool, under the "superintendency -of
Mr John McLean, continues to grow,
and evinces great interest in its work.
The quar terly board met on Monday
evening, and transacted its business
in the usual and agreeable manner.
At Crewe a new and much needed ad-
dition of 60 feet has been added to the
shed. The Sunday, School steadily
grows, and about 40 new members
have been added ,to the church, as a
result of special services in December.
Goderich.
CHURCH.—Victoria street Methodist
church held its quarterly services last
Sunday. .The quarterly board met on
Monday evening, and found the circuit
finances in good shape. At last this
church is finding it easy to meet all its
obligations. The morning congrega-
tions are large, and the evening con-
gregationsfill the body of the church.
Revival services opened in Victoria
street church on Monday night, with a
remarkably large congregation; they
will be conducted by the pastor and
people, without any evangelistic help.
NOTES.—Dog trains are quite a rage
in town at present; every cur of any
respectable size is being hitched up,
and his strength and speed utilized;
sausages and dogs are both bound to
rise in price. • We had excellent
sleighing until the warm weather of
Tuesday. A great lot of wood has
come -in. Knox church has decided
to get rid of the arc light that has
been rp that church for some time.
It is thought that Goderich will
soon have a plant for supplying
incandescent lights; powerwill
be got from the Maitland river.
R. Wilkinson has disposed of his busi-
ness to J. Davis, and may possibly
leave our burg for the States, to engage
in business. Mr Thos, Harris, of Dun-
gannon, is moving into our town soon,
and will likely build next summer.
CHURCH.— Quarterly meeting was
held in North street :Methodist church
last Sabbath. The attendance both at
the love feast and the general service
was large, and a very large number
communed at the Lord's table. The
spiritual influence of all the services
was good; the testimonies given at the
love feast, to the saving and sanctify-
ing power o divine grace, were telling
and profitable, and all felt it was good
to be there. The quarterly board met
on Tuesday evening; there was a full
attendance. The financial returns
more than met the pastor's claim up to
date, leaving a handsome surplus to be
applied on the ensuing quarter, but
which was handed over to the pastor.
The entire business belonging properly
the board meeting was gone through
with harmony and in a business -like
manner. As the Guelph Conference of
1894 is to be held in Goderich, the fol-
lowing persons were appointed to as-
sist the paste in making suitable ar-
rangements • entertaining the mem-
bers of theg onference:—Geo. Acheson,

DEATH.—The recent death of the -
eldest son of Mr W. H. Mpon was par-
ticularly sad and touching. Though
only slightly over 6 years of age, the•
little fellow was an exceedingly briggh�t
and clever boy, and his parents bbd 4c
fond hopes for his future. He was
only ill for four days, but even during
this time he seemed to realize an un-
seen influence and power in sustain-
ing him, and spoke cheerfully and
jcyously of meeting his Saviour. The
day he died there was conscious realiz-
ation to him that his end was near, as
he bid his parents and friends and little•
brother and sister good -by and left
his playthings for them, telling theme
that he was going to pass away that -
day.

NOTES.—Mr R. Bocock was slightly
indisposed for a few days, bat seems
quite improved. John Lawson is not,
much better yet. The township par-
liament met last Monday; they have
quite an elephant on their hands this
year, re the draining of the big swamp.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMt;NT.—The rate
payers of our school have substituted
a fnrrface for heatipg the school room
in place of the stove. The contract
was taken by Mr Moffatt, of Berlin,
while Mr Mosier, of Blyth, placed the
furnace. It has now been in for two
weeks and is working quite satisfactor-
ily. New blinds for the windows, amid
pictures for the walls make the inter-
ior considerably more attractive.
