to receiving the reports of the treas-
urers and secretaries from the several
auxilaries and mission bands, 'These

and showed not, only an increase of
membership} and contributions, but pro-
gress all along the line. The amount
cunt ihuiet this year by the auxiliaries
was $1524.48, and by the mission Lauds
$299.89, making a grand total of

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

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

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. A very euccess-
ful tneetiseg and a pleasant and profit-
• able eyeniug was brought to a close by

-At Brantford the other day, 61r.
Alex. 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.
