Among the ladies who attended the W. F. M. S. at Goderich, and called on Clin ton friends, was Mrs Fowler, wife of the late Dr. Fowler, who was at one time pas- tor of Rattenbury St. church. At present she is residing in London, her daughter living with her The following Huroti students are attend- ing the Normal College, Hamilton: -Misses L.

Johns, who has just arrived from Tuokersmith, were in Morden last week, and paid the Chronicle a visit." Gordon Waldron, of Toronto, spent a couple of days this week at the home of his father on the London Road, and returned to Toronto on Wednesday. He recently got back from a trip to South America, where he had gone in the interests of cer- tain investors who are cultivating rubber planta. Mr Waldron thinks there's a great field for investment in that country, but says the Europeans are as yet very few there. Findlay MoEwan returned from the Northwest on Friday, delighted with all he had seen, and while he thinks the west a great country, with wonderful possibilities before it; and just the plane for a young man, he is satisfied to remain in Huron. In most sections he found the Drops had been very good, wheat going ae much as 45 bushels to the acre, but in some sections excessive rains bad interfered with harvest - 'i g operations, and fears were entertained f r the oropv. John Govett returned this week from his isit 80ichi an. Before he went away g a person told him he would not And there any farms or farm buildings as good as are to be seen between here and London, and Mr Govett frankly acknowledges that such was his experience. The buildings are chiefly log, and very ordinary at that; he only Saw two bank barne in all his travels in the State; the roads are not macadamiz- ed at all, stone being difficult to get, and their condition in rainy weather is easier to imagine than describe. He thinks the county of Huron is a paradise compared with the portion of Michigan that name un- der his observation. He called specially upon Peter Cole, formerly of town, whom he Lund in a low condition of health, with no shancee of improvement. In its report of a concert in that place last week, the Paisley Advocate has this to say ooncerning a couple of well known Hu- roniane:-"Madame Wall acquitted her- self well, and left a good impression upon her audience, who highly appreciated ber selections; in "The Flower Girl," "Jeesie's Dream" and "Annie Laurie" her highly cultivated voice was heard to good advan- tage, but in "La Primavera" and "The Holy City" were her vocal powers best shown. Mies Fisher in her recitations as- sumes a very natural style:in "The Goblins will git yon, if you don't watch out," She threw the mysterione fear of the child into her recitation in a capital manner; "The Grand Bumper Degree," "Old Ace," and "The Swan Song," were all excellently given." - In Galt, on Saturday morning, Mies Bar- bara Simpson was found dead in her bed at the residence of Mr Adam Davidson. She had been suffering from heart disease. Arthur Fee of Collingwood Township viae given a dose of oarbolio acid by his mother in mistake for medicine, with fatal results.

Large Crowds Greet the Well Known Evangelists. Messrs Hunter and Crossley, the well known Canadian evangelists, held their first services id this town on Sunday, and have certainly commenced under the most favorable circumstances, the spirit of union prevailing thoroughly. On Sunday morning Mr Crossley occu- pied the pulpit of Willis Presbyterian Church, and Mr Hunter that of the On- tario Sb. Methodist church, In the af- ternoon both addressed a mass meet- ing in Willis Church, and in the even- ing both spoke at the meeting in Rat- tenbury St. Methodist Church. The interest in all these services was such that on the several occasions the differ. ent churches were packed to their ut- most capacity, and many were unable to gain admission. The services this week are being held in the Ontario Street Church, a union choir furnishing the music for thein, while Revs. Stewart, Murduck, Cle- ment and Milliard are also present. - The building has been packed on each occasion by audiences that pay close attention to the speakers. The address- es are of the character usually given at revival services, but are altogether free from what some persons regard as the objectionable features of the old-time revival. The evangelists simply aim at the genuine conversion of the individ- ual in a manner that harmonizes with divine revuirements. Sunday morning next Mr Hunter will preach in Rattenbury St. Church, and Mr Crossley in the Baptist church; Mr Murduck in Ontario St. Methodist Ch., and Mr Milliard inWillis Presbyterian. At 3.30 a meeting will be held in the town hall, for men only, to be address- ed by the evangelists on the subject of "personal purity." At 7 o'clock Sun- day evening there will be what MrHun- ter calls "a double header" in the Pres- byterian and Ontario St. churches, both evangelists speaking in both churches. Services in the Baptist and Rattenbury St churches will be with drawn for Sunday evening. Meetings every evening next week except Satur- day, in the Presbyterian church, NOTES. Mr Hunter was brought up in one po- litical faith, Mr Crossley in another. - Which is which? Some years ago Crossley and Canfield held special services here, the tormer being a brother of Mr Crossley now her e. Fifteen years ago, before entering on evangelistic work, Mr Crossley was in- vited to the pastorate of RattenburySt Church. Mr Hunter is married, his wife and family residing at St. Thomas. Mr Crossley is unmarried, and is said to be absolutely unsusceptible to feminine char ms. The evangelists pay whatever expen- ses are incurred in connection with the meetings, and are paid for their ser- vices simply by the collections and vol- untary offerings. The executive committee, who are looking after the general features of the meetings, consists of the Presby- terian, Baptist and two Methodist pastors together with four laymen from each church, Mr Jas. Scott is chairman, Mr J. B. Hoover secretary, and Jacob Taylor, treasurer, the exe- cutive being divided into three com- mittees: -Finance -1. Taylor, G. Swal- low, D. K. Prior and:J. Taylor; ushers, Jas. Scott, H. E. Hodgens, I. Prout, A. Downs; workers—H Foster, D. Tip - lady, D. McTavish and D. K. Prior. Alluding to the farewell ge14ice held by Messrs (Hunter and Crossley, in St. George, the Sentinel, of thatplace,says: "The resident pastors each spoke of the vast amount of good derived from the services, and wished Messrs. Hunter and Crossley God speed in their noble work, and the Sentinel but 'voices the sentiment of the entire community in doing likewise. The Sentinel would fail in its duty if it did not draw atten- tion to the unity of spirit in connection with the series of meetings just closed. For over four weeks the Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian congrega- tions have gathered in the one church, knelt at the one altar, and worshipped the one God. While they may differ as to church government, and other minor details, they can unite heart and hand and say 'The Lord He is the God.' May this unity of spirit spread through all the earth. Church Chimes Rev. B. L. Hutton, of Dungannon, was called to Mount Brydges last week, owing to the death of his brother. A. E. M. Thompson, of Elimville cir- cuit, is this week writing for his exam- ination under the direction of MrArm- strong, of Turner's. Rev. J. Kenner, of Trowbridge, for- merly of Clinton, has returned to his charge, but kis health is reported not yet sufficiently recovered to enter up. on his work. We understand that the ladies of Rattenbury St. Methodist church have decided to dispense with a tea meeting this fall, and will ask for a free-will of- fering instead. The regular annual harvest thanks- giving set vices will beheld in St.Paul's church on the 23rd, when Rev. J. T. Kerrin, rector of Trinity church, Mit- chell, will officiate. Confirmation classes are being held in the vestry of St,Paul's every Friday at 7.80 p.m. The Bishop is expected in the near future to administer the rite of confirmation to the candidates that are being prepared.

A young man named -William Armstrong of Cedar Creek road hanged himself in his bedroom. Mr Edward Bagnean of Dover Township was struck by a train at a crossing near Chatham and fatally injured. Rev Dr. Sexton, the well known lecturer and author, dropped dead at the residence of Geo. Turney, near St. Catharines. Ralph Johnston, age 17 years, of Whit- by, collided with a ;onple of other bicycle riders of that town and received fatal in- juries. Mr Aflred Richardson, a young man well and favorably known at Port Hope, died Satrrday after a lingering battle with con- sumption. The present wet weather will give an- other setback to the work of the Manitoba farmers whose grain is still standing in stacks in the field. Mr B. E. Aylsworth, M.P. P. for Len- nox, has resigned the seat, the petition against his election being withdrawn and the petitioner paying the costs. Percy Smith, aged 15 years, of Euphraeia Township was drawn into a threshing machine. Both legs were crushed, and the lad died two hours after the aocident. Mr W. H. P. Clement, barrister, of To- ronto, bas been appointed member of the Yukon Council and legal adviser to theCom- missioner, in sucoeesion to Mr F. C. Wade. The Licensed Victuallers' Association in Montreal claim that Quebec's majority against prohioition will exceed 90,000,more than cancelling the vote in all the other provinces. The Government has decided to commute the sentence of death passed upon an In- dian boy named Samien at Kamloops for the murder of a trader named Elkins. There are many mitigating circumstances in the case. A stranger named McLeod was assaulted by footpads in Galt and found lying insen- sible the road. He had been robbed of $80 in cash, his watch and a letter of credit for 8600. One man is under arrest in con- nection with the affair. Miss Mary Allan, Hamilton, made a wonderfully plucky attack on a burglar who entered her room in the night. The intruder knocked the young girl down once and struck her again with a stiok, but she managed to drive him off. Continuous rain is threatening serious injury to the outstanding crops in Mani• toba. There is considerable grain exposed. The delay in handling arises from the scarcity of labor and bad weather.

The exhibit of the Canadian Govern• mentatthe Michigan State Fair, held at Grand Rapids, has been a success, The press notices are glowing with warm praises -"the finest display of its kind ever made in the States," "the best feature on the grounds," etc. And the president of the Fair, writes to the Canddian Government agents: We firmly believe, as a result of these exhibits at the State Fairs through. out the United States, that yon will re- ceive a large influx of settlers from thin side, who will locate in Western Canada, and, no doubt, become prosperous citizens, Loose clothes and downy onehione bring only a, negative sort of comfort' to the woman who is suffering with some disease or derangement of the organs distinctly feminine.
