able expositions of divine truth. He is
one of the rising young teen of the
London Conference.

A meeting of the creamery patrons
and others was held here on Friday
evening last to devise ways and means
to put in their claims for money yet
due thein. After this very unsatisfac-
tory a'art of the business was disposed
of a discussion arose with regard to
the propriety of starting a cheese -
factory here. Messrs. Thomas Ohm
. -
chill and Joseph Hill, who were present!
intimated that provided the patrons
did not deem it advisable to form a
Joint Stock Co., they were prepared to
establish and run a factory. After'
considerable discussion it was voted to
be a private enterprise. It is now ex-
pected that the above named gentle-
men will speedily begin operations.
The anniversary services of the
Methodist church held here Sunday and'
Monday last were successful beyond the
expectation of the most sauguine. On•
Sabbath,the Rev. J. Edge, of Goderich,
preached three very acceptable eer-
mans to large congregations and in-
stead of a tea a collection of $60 was
asked for which met with a ready res-
ponse. The full amount being realised
on the Sabbath. On Monday the Rev.
J. Henderson delivered his lecture to a
large and appreciative audience.
The case of Welsh vs. Trebilcock is
known as the London election betting
case. Trehilcock bet one Richards $500
on the result of the election between
Sir John Carling and Mr. Hyman.
Walsh was the stakeholder. Trebilcock
won the bet, and sued Walsh, who re-
fused to pay over the $1,000. In the
court below Trebilcock succeeded, and
Walsh appealed to the Supreme Court.
On Wednesday the Court decided by a
majority that the whole matter was
illegal, and, therefore allowed the ap-
peal, and dismissed the action with
costs, Taschereau dissenting.
