At the conclusion of the morning ses- sion, the ladies were entertained at a most bountiful dinner, served in the lecture room of the church by the ladies of Knox church.

At the afternoon meeting a most in- teresting end instructive Bible reading was given by Mrs. Fletcher, of Themes Road ; an exct'lent and helpful talk by Mrs. Shaw, of Egmoudville, taking as her theme, the relation betweenrayer and missions, Mre. Johnston, of Pais- ley, sister of Rev. Mr. Wilkie, lately of Central India, gave a most able address on "Some of the duties, privileges and opportunities of women in Christian lauds," Mrs. Nichol, of Blake, who was a delegate et the annual meeting of the Provincial society, recently held in London, gave a very interesting report of the proceedings there, taking up some of the more important subjects discussed and giving the gist of the die cuesione and conclusions, anA furnish• ing some hints on the workings of local societies which may be of much advan- tage to all concerned in the work. The afternoon was concluded by a most earnest and inepiring address by Mrs. Gibson, the oldest member of the Gode- rich auxiliary, During the afternoon Miss Gemmill, of Eguioldville, rendered a vocal solo very nicely, At the evening meeting, which was presided over by Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Goderich, and atter Rev, Mr. McLen- nan, of Kippen, in a neat address, presented the greetings and congratu- ations of the presbytery for the good work done by the ladies dur- ing the past year and wishing thein even greater success in their con- tinued efforts, the address of the even- ing was given by Rev, Murdo MecKen- , e, of Bonen, China. Mr. MacKenzie IA been 14 years in China and was foroed to leave there, with others, dur- ing the Boxer uprising. He still hes on his person several seers which testify more loudly than worde could do of the hard usage he was subjected to and the narrow escape he had from being mas- sacred by the enraged Chinese snobs, Ile delivered a most able, eloquent and touching address. It wag well ceku- lated to arouse the most indifferent and callous listener and had a moat etimu- a laving influence on the audience. The addressee were interspersed by pleasing ,roll rendered vocal and musical se:^ctious by Mrs, Anderson and Mr. Ttioutsou, of Gederich.

Ferguson, a Lusher of Burford township, who resides on the border line between Brant and Oxford coun- ties', was fined $40 by Squire] Leitch and Howell for selling diseased meat for food. The evidence was of a con- flicting character, especially the expert veterinary teetimony. Themagietrates held, however, that the crown's evi- dence was clear, and that defendant had aleughteretl two steers which were suffering from lump jaw and had dia- peed of them to a local butcher There might be many such cases as this if engniriee ware only pushed, and in the interest of the public who are the sufferers by such criminal deception itis to he hoped other offen- ders will be taught the law on the matter.
